It's always amazing the amount of people, technology, knowledge and sets with complicated setups that are needed to make this blockbuster movies, that at the end of the day I will never watch
haha I was thinking the exact same thing. I really dislike these movies, but this definitely showed me that a lot of people behind the scenes are super talented at what they do.
Okaaay... this was mindblowing (cue FX). I had to rewind so many times because there was so much information to take in. Jason deserves a part 2, if you can get him on the show again.
These interviews, like this and the guy that did 300, are better than the best in depth cinematography break downs. Real shooters really showing and telling real secrets. This makes the third life of indymogul a real indymogul experience. Beck gave us great DIY fx and prop techniques, Griffin launched a generation of competant and knowledgeable videographers, and these interviews are giving us proper blockbuster knowledge and techniques. Thank you for bringing us this, bring us more, #teamgodox
I think his explanation made sense, albeit maybe it wasn't very comprehensive. Say for instance you're looking at a wall that has an actual grainy texture. Then you took that image and blurred it. That wall texture will no longer feel sharp. The same goes for film grain. We subconsciously perceive that grain as a texture. It's visual information. If you denoise that, you're left with an image that kinda feels like it's blurry, even though it's cleaner and truer to what would be seen through the lens. So even though we may know that the grain is actually just a byproduct of the way the image is filmed and not an actual texture of the subject, the presence of that byproduct texture makes us feel like we're looking at something with more visual information.
Look for Steve Yedlin's videos comparing digital images and perceived resolution. Not for beginners, you'd better be interested in the subject or you will be bored! :D
for a common person like myself who's not a nerd about this stuff nor a student of film school, I actually understood the terms and the whole vid and everything, yes it took me close to 30min of rewinding and listening back, but HEY! I got it :D I actually learned smth new and it was enjoyable. Jaron is amazing humble guy, am sure working with him is so much fun and mind-opening. Am gonna check the podcast for sure. Ted, thank you for your thoughtful small table explanation for every nerdy term, as to be honest without them i would've been lost, but you made it easier for non pro like myself to watch and feel connected. Also your lil fast-forward scenes whenever Jaron is drawing smth HELLLLOOOW! is smart and genius, it was sooo smooth. Oh and I luv your voice tone, so sexy, i could listen to a broadcast of yours for hours! (gotta add my giry touch hihi) I hope people realize how crazy big value here that they can get such detailed input from a field expert on youtube for FREE! To sum it up, this was an eye-opener, and my first vid, but surely isn't gonna be the last one, and you got yourself a new sub :) Keep the beautiful work. Bless you. Peace.
It makes life sooo much easier for VFX if things are prepared in advance, I have done countless jobs where the VFX are an after thought. Although it is much more satisfying solving those problems.
Holy jamoley. So many high-end techniques in one episode. Jaron is an incredible talent and a fantastic guy to hang out with. Go give him some love on his website. For the full discussion, check out the podcast. Also thank you to Storyblocks, go give them some love! www.storyblocks.com/indymogul
Wow... wow... more wow! That was fantastic! So much to see and learned from this collaboration! THANK YOU JARON!! Whatever you two do in life, NEVER try to become a Storyboard artist ;)
Very interesting ! The next time you interviewed a cinematographer who worked on 3Ds movies (stereoscopic), could you ask him how he integrates this parameter into his work (be it shot natively in 3D or in conversion) ? Thank you
Are proxy sets rotoscoped, or can gray be keyed relatively easily nowadays? Or is it not really gray, but retroreflective with a green light ring around the camera or something of the sort?
I love this video. As much as I am not a fan of diaster movies (Also I feel bad for Dwayne Johnson that he is always casted in those movies) it was interesting to hear about how some things were done that could be used in, being a bit blunt and harsh, a better story driven movie besides those disaster movies (I lump any diaster or apolitic movie in that excluding space ones).
What was the deal with what he was saying about film grain? You kind of just summarized it by him saying it gives and "organic feel" but he seemed to be arguing that film grain actually decreased it naturalness by introducing sharpness.
saw the andrew's sun there. amazing. i remember i made the complete sun from that tutorial too. . . thanks for the info man. we need more videos like this in youtube. not videos about pewdiepie playing mincraft
Its kind of crazy of much money gets spend on these things. Its almost not filmmaking. Its like creating a huge sports event for like 2 hours that most people wont remember after 1 year.
Love this channel so much information that I take away every episode! Ted where is the indy mogul MERCH!? I need a hat and t shirt lol

Adding grain to increase the perceived focus was a crazy tip. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you guys!!
That was 2 years of photography classes in 17 min.
The secret about adding grain to the shot to make it look more in focus just blew my mind!
hahahahaha! well said!
Using a giant green light to serve as a green screen that can double as a giant light source? That's brilliant.
It's always amazing the amount of people, technology, knowledge and sets with complicated setups that are needed to make this blockbuster movies, that at the end of the day I will never watch
haha I was thinking the exact same thing. I really dislike these movies, but this definitely showed me that a lot of people behind the scenes are super talented at what they do.
Uh, lighting ratios? Boy. I've never felt more like a beginner than with this video.
you mean like 1:16 - 1:8 etc?
@@thefilthyswede 9:52
Good lord. This is why you start by wrapping cables kids lol
Really interesting to hear a DP who brings his own LUT to a project.
The best Indy mogul interview. Please do more of these kind.
This guy knows his craft, best interview on the channel
The DP episodes are so good!! Keep 'em coming
we've got some really great ones coming out soon!
I was using the same "sharpening with grain" technique back in the days I was shooting on my 7D.. haha
Glad he clarified that little detail at 3:06, not really something that sounds normal when you say it out loud to people casually haha.
Wow. I learned something. That’s becoming more rare for me. So thank you thank you thank you
Jaron's insight is amazing. So many high-level techniques in one video, it is insane.
Maybe Indy Mogul can have you on too!
slinkyatrest hahaha I have been 😅, a few times. But I think you already knew that
Love these interviews and breakdowns!
I love how Ted was as confused as I was at certain points! Very insightful haha
dude, tell me about it. What an amazing experience to be able to listen and learn though. -T
@@indymogul That explosion light through a silk turning into green screen is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Amazing insight, would love to hear more about VFX work and how it influences working on the set :)
Okaaay... this was mindblowing (cue FX). I had to rewind so many times because there was so much information to take in. Jason deserves a part 2, if you can get him on the show again.
Thank you for introducing me to Mr. Presant. He seems like a wonderful man with a lot to teach.
More of these industry professional secrets. This was amazing.
These interviews have been amazing, although to be fair Indy Mogul has always been amazing.
Fantastic information. Love the channel. It’s also the best video/podcast combo out there.
Loved this Ted! 🔥

Can we get gerald undone to breakdown how film grain actually makes us perceive an image as being sharper?

I think it has to be about contrast. Bright seems brighter against dark. Sharp feels sharper against grain.

nice work never thought about lighting like that
This was amazing to watch. Even tho I didn't understand much of what was being said, it was really informative.
Oh my god @1:03 I was in that prod doing sound YEARS ago haha! Shout out to Simon from DSLR! :D
Danny Feng are you the one who saved the day by suggesting they just move the action over a few feet?
Just watched Rampage again recently. Awesome breakdown, thanks guys!
So great to listen to Jason Presant.
All that good info is delicious. Please make more of these. Thank you!!!
Bring him back; I like how he explains things!
This is the most informative video you've had yet.
Wow... wow... more wow! That was fantastic! So much to see and learned from this collaboration! THANK YOU JARON!! Whatever you two do in life, NEVER try to become a Storyboard artist ;)
Thanks Richard for tuning in! And haha we'll be sure to keep that in mind!
Tedd! Loved the this episode! Any ideas how we can go about building a film simulation LUT? Thank you!
this is invaluable knowledge share.
thank you so much indy!
Who’s more concerned about the uncapped blue sharpie that’s on the ground?!??
This was GREAT!!!!!!
thanks for tuning in!
Very interesting !
The next time you interviewed a cinematographer who worked on 3Ds movies (stereoscopic), could you ask him how he integrates this parameter into his work (be it shot natively in 3D or in conversion) ? Thank you
Best video you have offered
I would love to work with you. I've gotten SO many plates that just used NO thought to lighting and it's on VFX to make it look good.
Good video, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Dude that was a good interview very interesting
Please invite more people from professional film productions. This video was super informative
One good thing about green is that it's opposite skin tone...so spill is very easy to remove without affecting the image.
Great behind the scenes video
Are proxy sets rotoscoped, or can gray be keyed relatively easily nowadays? Or is it not really gray, but retroreflective with a green light ring around the camera or something of the sort?
Good video but at 4:10 there's a problem...Jurassic Park was definitely not shot anamorphically.
Love these videos so much!
8:23 - 6-axis gimbal? Anyone got any info on that?
Maybe they used a "6 dof motion platform" for the helicopter.
less than 1 second in JAMES (TheSimSupply) IS THAT YOU!!!!
Well done!
And....subscribed👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This info terrified me! That’s a lot of info to handle! Thanks though Indy!
that's insane how much is involved with just one shot
I love this video. As much as I am not a fan of diaster movies (Also I feel bad for Dwayne Johnson that he is always casted in those movies) it was interesting to hear about how some things were done that could be used in, being a bit blunt and harsh, a better story driven movie besides those disaster movies (I lump any diaster or apolitic movie in that excluding space ones).
I give up, I'm going back to Business school!
🤤🤤🙏 Finally vfx
0:47 The Tale of the Disappearing Notebook
soooo much goes into production
Do you plan to make a movie eventually? Or maybe work on one as a cinematographer.
insightful!
Is it me or does the audio sound like someone pushed the noise reduction a bit hard?
15:51 RIP pen
You put sources for every single clip, EXCEPT FOR THE DAMNED MOVIE!!! Which one is it?
😮 😯 😲
Wow wow wow
I feel like Ted is like brock from pokemon, you know the reason why - -
You need to get Roger Deakins
What was the deal with what he was saying about film grain? You kind of just summarized it by him saying it gives and "organic feel" but he seemed to be arguing that film grain actually decreased it naturalness by introducing sharpness.
This was very informative and helped me. However, how was this INDY? Nothing about this was “indie”?
I love this episode. Can we get someone critically acclaimed from the film festivals?
This is just insane to watch..
Abed is doing great in LA.
The importance of Blocking a scene in cinematography .
lol, i though i was a moviemaker. look at the gears, the thoughts, the crews and the ideas...
Super Dope
crazy....
I added the 1000th like
5th comment🤩 love from 🇮🇳
Fascinating. Also I have no idea how you're supposed to act with barely anything real in the scene with you. Crazy.
...I have so much to learn...
You know it’s a high budget set when their green screen is blue
Jesus christ that was insane
9:45
nobody:
I don’t see what you meant,,,
First!!! #mozambique
80 OR 120 SKYPANELS..... THAT IS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It's also insane and amazing and insane.
@@indymogul I think you forgot to mention that its insane
The word you're looking for with grain is dithering.
saw the andrew's sun there. amazing. i remember i made the complete sun from that tutorial too. . . thanks for the info man. we need more videos like this in youtube. not videos about pewdiepie playing mincraft
3:05 - "And then we hung blacks ...". Glad he clarified that later.
First!!!
Buy a whiteboard!

Its kind of crazy of much money gets spend on these things. Its almost not filmmaking. Its like creating a huge sports event for like 2 hours that most people wont remember after 1 year.
Hating on that Tom Antos short film lol
I'm fast
all I heard was we hung blacks ....
Our job is trying to fake the god, the creator, we can only do it as close as we can, but NEVER surpass him.
I'll stick with documentaries, where at least "almost" everything is real.
