Would be cool to see the pro’s edit the shots of the beginner and show what it was truly capable of.
I THINK SO TO
A PRODUCTION IS NOT ONE THING
Idk I want to have someone edit one of my videos just to see what another editor could do with my work
@@bandamountcinematics what kind of stuff are you shooting
@@kitten-whisperer NO. HE THINKS SO. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE
HIM RELAX
@David Pasion lol calm down reeetard.
Really shows that it’s better to know what you’re doing then upgrade gear as you go
Agreed going back to basics.
Well I think it is the opposite.
Definitely. Same can be said with producing music. I have been producing music for a few years and while still working with minimal equipment I have learned to make my productions sound pretty professional (for what I'm working with that is).
It's important to have good gear, but just as important to know how (and when) to use it. I'm a bit of a newb to video, but a pro with audio.
I like this unique photographer a lot. th-cam.com/video/6XGETo4YxM4/w-d-xo.html
As a beginner who can only afford kit lens, this video really encourage me to do more with what I have... Thank you very much...!
I am photographer, and a rule of thumb I use is that I don’t upgrade my gear just because I want to, but if I literally cannot get the shot or effect I am trying to get without upgrades or peripherals. I grow with my gear. Same applies to videography I think 😊
@@keithbillings3649 Very good
Lightning is 80% of the look
Yep, I use my Sony r4 as a video camera on the gimbal and photo camera off 😳.
Cheap kits only limit the scenarios you can use. You can use even iPhone but then you have to avoid any even moderately high dynamic range scenarios, you cannot separate background from the subject with focus. Using a small camera (or cheap kit lens) basically forces your aperture pretty small all the time in addition to poor dynamic range. (iPhones and other cheap items do have "HDR" modes but those are more marketing tricks than actual usable mode.)
When you design your camera angles and scenes with that in mind, the end result will look good despite the low quality camera. If you need to capture anything without lots of control over the scene, then you need lots of gear.
Jake’s Video: looks like horror
Ivan’s Video: looks like Apple event
Or stripped-down TED talk.
hahaha I was thinking the same!
I could see the happiness in the beginner's face. He looks so happy doing this. Good thing he found a you. He will be able to do his hobby that he appreciates so much happily. I can see the excitement in his eyes. I could tell he really has passion for photography
Jake managed to tell the psycho story as intended...well done Jake.
The actor did very well with the role.

I love this Beginner vs Pro series. It's in my bucket list to challenge someone pro knowing I can't match them so that they can just obliterate me and measure their distance to mine and learn and earn a ton of experience from that challenge.
Then go get in a boxing ring, dummy… this isn’t for the faint hearted
I honestly liked Ivan's version, although the colors weren't as good as Jake's but still, Ivan's felt more calming and in the end that's what the Bonsais are for
😂
3:38 man was so excited to say, speeding and hear speed, then say action.
I've developed this love for cameras, filming and photography i just cant explain the feeling.

In Jake's defense, the rode micro could've been mixed slightly better. even with some EQ tweaking it could sound really decent!
I totally agree!
But still i dont think we can get that good quality to compare to a pro mic....
@@sahilshah5408 I have $25 rechargeable lapel mic that is AWESOME. I am a musician and have been recording since the 80's. I have had many many good mics including SM7B , Nuemann TLM 102 and more.... But here's a sample.... th-cam.com/video/kVi3KBpjD_U/w-d-xo.html I also had thyroid cancer and got my neck fused front and back with front plate removed. My vocal chords are held together by staples. Lost my high range but my lows are of thunder now..... th-cam.com/video/kVi3KBpjD_U/w-d-xo.html But yeah proper mic placement can mean a LOT.
From recording local, loud club concerts for a while, I've found that as long as the mic/camera preamp combo can carry the full range of normal human hearing (which varies quite a bit by manufacturer & model, especially for high volume levels, although I've had the most consistent good results with Sonys), you can get shocking good audio *if* you put the necessary processing time in. But that can be pretty time consuming, so for more time sensitive projects, even the cheapest Zoom recorder might be more advisable.
@@melodymatters Yep I have a Zoom q2n and I LOVE IT. I also have a Zoom H2n but that does video too.
As a rookie filmmaker, I totally vibed with Jake's production style- not because he's got a lot more experience, but because he rocked the directorial scene and took those bold creative leaps.
Out in the field, I make it a mission to let the creativity flow. Sure, gear and awesome editing matter big time, but let's get real-the heartbeat of a video is all about that storytelling magic.
So, here's the golden nugget I've scooped up: it ain't just about clocking hours; it's about nailing the technique and marrying it with a splash of creativity. It's about owning those visual elements and bringing the script to life.
I noticed Ivan also delved into this, but Jake is incredibly restless and thinks outside the box. So, I’m pursuing technical knowledge, and this has encouraged me to explore my wild and creative side even more.
So, I'm on this grind, soaking up the tech know-how. Jake's got me hyped to dive even deeper into the loony, creative depths.
The color space error on the RED raw kind of ruined the comparison for me because the contrast levels looked so muddy and the color was all desaturated. It broke the tone. If he got that right it might have been a much closer competition. I guess it reinforces the point that expensive pro gear is not as forgiving of people who don't know every last detail of what they are working with.
Agreed! I felt the same way about this. I was hoping they had a person on their team color grade everything for them to make it fair.
It’s s log … it’s because later you can put contrast in the editing
@@jaangraphy it's r3d raw not log
That was the point, if he was helped with everything, it wouldnt be a real comoetition for us to see that its not the gear, but the experience that matters first of all, except for sound. The point was to establish the difference to get educated and experienced first and foremost
Maybe the irony is that the beginner didn’t know how to use the equipment. He would have actually done better with the same basic camera. Almost like he was duped into making a bad film. A bit dubious.
Watched the whole thing, very engaging 💪🏼
@Quân Phạm Viết lạc rồi ạ 😅
Oh hello we meet again ;)
Ivan’s face when Jake told him there was a key piece missing is a golden moment 😂
Absolutely no question. Night and day. Too many people think gear is everything. Not! Story is everything. the gear today is stellar. bottom line: good glass, good color science, good audio, good editing, good acting. Stellar gear is often a substitute for inexperience and talent.
This video proved it. well done.
This is so encouraging and makes me value my current tools more. So much room to grow. Love this competition also.
My favorite series is back on TH-cam. As a Dslr ‘shooter’ these cheap gear videos are really helpful,encouraging and inspiring. Dreams are valid❤️
I love these Beginner vs Pro series. I would enjoy seeing one that goes deeper into sound design.
This kind of videos are very useful and educative for all the people that want to be a fulltime filmmaker. In my experience, I have learnt a lot with you guys, and thank you for that :D
I loved seeing Ivan's enthusiasm all throughout the video! Seeing just how much he loved doing this video made me so happy. I can't wait to see some of Ivan's work in the future!
Yeah. Enthusiasm and passion is like a fuel🙇🏽♀️
I LOVE the dissonance that was being produced in Jake's video. The sound design was on point and well supported by the acting. Both Jake and Ivan did a great job. Ivan has a level head, and if he can keep that, it will serve him well as his career unfolds. Thanks for the video!
My unpopular opinion is that the "beginner" made a better story, apart from the colorgrading.
You see, videomaking is not about gear or owning a crapton of microphones you would never use. It is about giving people emotions. It is about using the gear you have the best in any circumstance.
Thats the skill someone pro has.
I agree, ultimately this video was about selling what a product can do. Since everyone has covered the video quality differences I'll cover the presented story. The beginner was more focused on a calm story for this product. I felt relaxed and this helped to focus that primary selling point. The pro had overall a nice looking and well placed set. However the pro sacrificed the story. I felt the speaker was the focus over the product. Between him seeming a little crazy and sharp audio spikes the whole presentation was just uncomfortable. If I was paying someone I would be highly upset someone tried to imply my product was for crazy people or unappealing. I'd be getting my money back...
In conclusion, the beginner has mistakes easily fixed with more post processing to better serve what the client wanted to achieve, by selling the tree. While the pro had no way to fix his mistakes without a complete reshoot. For me the beginner was far more on brand objective and he did pretty good for going first while the pro watched for ideas on his turn next.
Agree. Beginners story would make someone want to purchase. Pro story was disturbing
@@geronimo5537 maybe because its just a fun content, so he wanna make somethink experimental and unique, when he go to a pro work, he's getting serious,
@@nurwacana then he failed all around if that is the case.
@@benryanredteal914 agreed. Pros story was confusing in my opinion. Beginner did well here.
Just love this series, it makes us realise the real potential of our gears.
Always much fun watching this! Ivan's got a bright future in filmmaking 🙌 great works both of them 🔥
You should do an expensive camera with budget lights Vs cheap camera with expensive lights challenge.
interesting, i like this idea!
@@JakeWeisler yeah, I looked and I can’t find one on TH-cam. I’d do it myself but I just have a cheap camera and cheap lighting. Lolll
I'm still in my beginner phase and what always strikes me about a pro is how much creative fun and freedom is driving their decisions.
It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the technical aspects as a beginner and overthink everything based on what the fundamentals should be-whereas a pro is much more spontaneous and adapts to the environment. I think it just comes with time and familiarity and experimentation.
As a pro photographer I've always subscribed to the 'the best camera...is the one you have with you' (within reason, of course). All the tech in the world isn't going to make you DePalma. It's how you utilize what you've got to work with. Fascinating comparative video - loved this. And any pro photographer will always tell you - never stop learning. Absorb everything.
This was another awesome Beginner VS Pro vid, I as a new FTFM course member, can only wait till my story unfolds as a beginner to a pro who can say “it’s all about the skill, not the gear” Thanks FTFM!
I love that Ivan was given a beginner camera as part of the competition.
Sound aside, Jake's vid was clearly more polished and a bit more fun.
Ivan did great. I really loved his video. Even with little training he’s been able to do this.
Great show,thank you for sharing your research,and cool work with the leather,bet that takes some skill,and patients
this video touched my soul when you had the guy even out the levels of the two shades in the background.
i'm a music production guy but man does that hit home in the best way
Oh yess...
Finally, the series is back 😍
I'm missing you so much London BTW, I was so influenced by your beginner vs pro editing showdown video.

No he isn’t. He has a very long way to go compared to professional cinematographers in the movie industry, or even say BBC documentary videographers.
Wooow. It takes a pro to know either the story is told well.
I love the concept from Ivas’s video but Jakes video opened my thinking again.
Great video .
I always love these videos! They remind me to just get better with the gear that I already have. And once you master what you have, you’ll be able excel so far with upgraded gear.
I love the starting scene both of their face reaction after having the camera. 😊
@Parker (I'm a big fan of you, bro) watched your filmmaking course (certain parts)... You can tell how Parker is impressed by the Sony guy's finished product (one of his best students).. Love your approach and teaching. Learning a lot from you ❤️
Love this vid! Kudos to both. I learnt some new things today. Thank you!
Hey man, just ordered your mic and necklace the other day, really looking forward to using them!! Keep up the great work!

That was pretty epic; a great addition I thought I would see was the pro using the pro gears in the last part of the video allowing full capabilities in that situation. However, that was a great learning experience for me. Cheers!
thank you so much! this content is great! IT helps to emphasise what is capable with limited equipment! - a real gem of a video ... MAGIC
Very inspiring.Totally worth watching. Great job 👍🏻
I waited for this... ❤️ Amazing content!

You know a video is good when your girlfriend who's not interested in the topic cant stop watching. Love this series
You guys are just the best when it comes to giving contents that are educative💯...
Truly enlightening and learned so much in this short tutorial. Awesome work gentlemen and great share!
It wasn't a competition with Jake. He's way too good. Ivan did a good job as a beginner. But experience and knowledge beats all. Good job guys.
Definitely see the difference between the two. Ivan's video had a moderate story to back up what was being said while Jake's had a better one. That comes with knowing how to make a story through the topic of the video. Using all aspects of of filming and editing. This taught me a few things, thanks 👍👍👍
Loved this. Keep it up Parker!
I love this, I took a film & tv beginner class and its a lot more work then other ppl see.
I’m not sure about the creepy vibe in the Pro video to be honest, although everything else was amazing. Kudos to both!
This was really fun and educational. I'm toying with the idea of investing in some equipment to document my travels. This definitely helps me understand what is more important. I'll keep learning before making a purchase.
one of the best usefull video that explain lot of staff regarding production ,,thankyou so much
My goodness the last one was unbelievable!! With less Jake did a a peace of alwesome art!! Love it!!❤️
I could watch these videos all day! Great stuff!

Jackob just made me feel so proud of my broken 16-50mm Sony lens and gave me hope that I can do better in videos except that my camera is just a Nex6
Awesome ! ... changed my perceptions on certain life events
- Many, many thanks!
Another awesome video from you guys. Jake you killed it.👍👍
This video was amazing glad to see another pro vs beginner video!

Lovely series. I think save for the color grading, few framing issues and out of focus shots, the beginner did a wonderful job. story wise, it was perfect. the idea was to sell the product, I wouldn't buy a product that doesn't work and it was exactly what the pro did. he made dalin more maniacal and creepy which goes against what the product stands for. of course, the best video in terms of what I mentioned above goes to the pro however, story-wise, give the beginner his accolades. side note, I love what Jake did with the b-roll especially the water squirting and rich lightening.
Great video. Love seeing the concept of "the artist not the paint brush" being shown off here. Shout out to Ivan for putting himself out there.
I enjoyed it...
As always, Keep moving
I love this video haven’t even finish the video man I love the guys energy he’s going to be great one day it’s ok bro I’ve been a fulltime film maker for a year now and been a memeber for 6months it’s ok you’ll get used to all this man much love 🤲🏽💙

Here’s my review:
I loved ivan’s story-telling a bit better than that of jake, it fit very well with the calming effects of the plant. But.. I preferred jake’s approach to filming, they way he captured everything was cinematic. If I could hone Ivan’s story telling skills and jake’s shooting and directing skills, I’ll be alright.. Overall, this was an Avenue to learn. Thank you 🙏
I agree with you. I thought it was a good message in the first, but when you hear the comments of the other guy you pay attention to details you didn't know. But I thought Ivan colors weren't good, so this is why the second film was better to me.
i felt Parkers giggling at 15:29 xD i love Jakobs aproach. it`s definitely outstanding
GREAT challenge here with lots of excellent pro tips and educational takeaways! Thank You!
I already see this video is gonna blow up on views😅… so so good quality as always… keep rocking!!!

The Sony ZVE10 is a great camera as demonstrated here by Jake.
So inspired! I'm beginners, and im just having sony a6000 with kit lens. Your video was educated me! Thank you
Outstanding job for both Jake and Ivan, considering the challenges of being novice with pro gear, and being pro with novice gear. This was a huge leap for Ivan, which in a sense makes him the winner in his own rights. As well as for his next client. As for Jake, he gets some serious credentials for turning novice into pros. Best video I have seen for the start of 2023.
I love how you can give a pro a “garbage” equipment that any beginner wanting to learn has now rather than blowing away their life’s savings on a Red or an Alexa and not know a single thing what to do.
Love these "Vs's" videos, very educational and entertaining.

Love the concept, but it's a little misleading. He not only had access to professional equipment, he also had professional help. He should be the one setting up the lights, audio, tripod and camera.
Great Video, enjoyed watching the development process of creating the videos and the thought process. The critique of the video was a great benefit for us the viewer as well! Big thumbs UP! Thank you!

It's impressive what Ivan was doing for a complete beginner. Good job man. 👍🏼
I'm also not a pro, but still learning. So I can tell you, it is great that you already did some little mistakes on this fake job. You will probably not do them again. 😉
This was SOOO DOPE!!!!! SO MUCH INSPIRATION FROM THIS!!! 💯
Loved this. Awesome to see how he difference.
This was so good! Actually very helpful, but so darn funny and entertaining! Thanks guys.
OMG really loved your intro music, what was the source epidemicsound or musicbed or else?
I would love to see a tutorial of yours on how to choose the right music tracks for your project like how you go through and use all the tags in epidemic sound (or other platforms) to find the perfect required one for your project?
This was fun to watch 🤙
I loved the passion from the beginner. That was amazing.
Amazing video! You don't magically become good with $100K equipment!

Yea, the colour was bad on Ivan's, but I sympathize with him. When I started shooting in log it was pretty painful to grade to start with.
Love these videos

This is so encouraging and makes me value my current tools more.
very entertaining channel and I truly appreciate the knowledge you've provided us.
Ivan got all that help for the shoot, but then everyone left him completely unassisted in post. I still think he would've lost, but getting the coloring/grading even just 80% there would have made a HUGE difference.
I'm suprised Parker missed the letterbox issue at 9:31 and the flare at 14:48 is parallaxing faster than the video right, so it may be animated in from editing right?
First time TH-cam recommends this channel to me. Amazing video! Congrats :)
Thanks for this video, it re-enforces the fact you don’t need expensive gear to start a channel. This world fascinates me. I started my channel with an iPhone only, but I’ve recently started investing in apps and mics. I want to take it to the next level. I think working on creativity is most important when new
I think beginner would do a lot better with the sony zv-e10. Because the auto settings are very well with this type of cameras.
I think beginner in this series means "someone that knows how to use a camera". If you would do this with a person that has no idea how a film set works, zero knowledge of lightning and natural light, it would just be a mess.
Would be cool to see the intermediate vs PRO
Always the best, thank you dudes, im gonna film a streetfood video in saigon todayyyyyy.
This is my go-to cinematography channel anytime 🔥
