im confident the first tip was just an excuse to feature the sick banjo skills.
I'm always excited when I get one of your notifications. Always get the feeling I'm about to get much better at cinematography in the following minutes.
Same!
x3
NGL your banjo skills are pretty top-notch. Also, thank you for your tips its always good to see working DP's get out little bits of info its much appreciated.
Another Lewis Potts video equals another bag of popcorn and lots of excitement as always!! Do us all a favor and keep doing what your doing!
Lights, lights, lights, LEWIS ROCKS THE BANJO. Lights, lights..
I use that same rode wireless mic and I feel like yours sounds so much better lol.
Shutter angle tip is a good one for those who are too locked in to 180 deg. I do it all the time in low light situations haha
The thing about shutter angle is that most people (aspiring filmmakers) are just assuming that you HAVE to keep it at 180D because otherwise it will look bad. So they just completely banning the shutter angle from the exposure options. But the truth is that you should always try before shooting the scene. If you have enough light to play with/control to get the image that you want/need, then keep it at 180 (unless you actually want snappier/blurrier motions). If you feel that you can't really get the proper DOF that you need for the scene, or that the image gets too noisy and you're losing too much dynamic range because of a higher ISO value, then you definitely should test different shutter angle values and see if it could work, or at least choose what combination gives you the best results. Sometimes, you may choose to sacrifice proper motion blur for a cleaner image, sometimes not. It also depends on the duration of the shot (the viewer may not notice blurrier motions on a 2 sec shot, but may notice a noisier image). So yes, don't be afraid of testing before shooting, you may be surprised of the results!
You’re good at youtube pls don’t stop
Lewis, thanks! Amazing job
Top shelf as always Lewis!
Love the banjo!
One of my favorite channels. Thanks for all the hard work.
Thank you for these tips!! The shutter angle is one I’ve always been worried about changing but your explanation was great, thanks!!
Lewis, thanks for these gems! I used the "motivate a prac" in my last short film and glad I did. I find I like to throw lamps everywhere for pops of light, but also gives me a reason to motivate it if need be. Only thing is, the production designer has to source them all haha.
Lewis, your videos are some of the best out there. Massively appreciate you, man.
6:20 really great tip for me! Never really thought of changing shutter angle for such. I will remember to change them under similar circumstances!
Thank you for sharing your experience, it really is very usefull when you start as a cinematographer as there aren't many other ways to learn these kind of things except through trial and error...
I'll try to keep in mind all these little things for my next shoot !
Another fantastic video! Always the best tips and the best hang. Can’t wait for another next week!
Thanks for the tips Lewis! love your work
Thanks Lewis! Great video with great tips!
Your footage always looks so simple and yet so nice.
Great tips, especially the last one - simple but effective! Thanks Mr Lewis Potts.
Thank you for blessing us with some more knowledge!
the banjo playing was fire. also the cinematography tips. also the tv.
Im learning a lot here. Thanks a lot lewis.
Your lighting demos are really well crafted. Hoping you make a 'Tips' series! Love your content. Cheers
Going the other way on the shutter is truly overlooked! Simple technique for some shots
Spot on as always! 🙌
loved this ❤ thanks!
Nicely done! Thank you!
thank you very much Lewis. I have learn so much with your videos since I follow you ! It's always clear (even if my english is very bad) and approachable.
Yo! I'm a bluegrass musician and was happy to see you pick up a banjo 🪕
Fun to have some music / film crossover!
Good stuff, esp. the shutter trick. Thank you.
This is really great! Thanks soo much for sharing and helping out!
thanks man! loved it
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing 😎
Thank you so much for all the tips and content!
Just two days ago i worked as a cinematographer in short film directed by a friend of mine. It was our first "real" experience because we've never worked before with profesional actors, cinema lights, etc. We've been learning all by our self lol
One of my mayor problems was exactly what you mentioned about the blocking. I was just waiting for the director to do the blocking so i could light up the scene because i didn't want to "change" the director's vision.
It's nice to know that as cinematographer i should be able to make some of this decisiones every now and then.
(sorry for my english hehe greetings from México)
Third time I have watched this, just in case I forgot anything. Please do more videos when you have moment
Beautiful background music
Great ideas, thanks for sharing! 😊
love the subtle banjo flex
another great educational video! Thank you!
Another great vid, thx man
i did know the "open the shutter" stuff but i never had the guts to try it ahah, imma try to give it a shot
Great video as always man
another banger. thank you again lewis 🙏🏽
I used 360 degree shutter angle @60fps 1080p that uses drop frame technique with my Redmi Note 10 Pro for a specific dramatic effect & the footage before post effects looks like the way it should narratively look like. Tenet, take my bow down for your kind perusal & to your good self in the first place.
These are not 3 cinematography Tips.
These are the things who makes a person to next level.
Lewis you really did a job.
That's ma hero......
Amazing as always bro
Would love to see some videos on the RED KOMODO.
Love the tips, thank you! 🤘
Amazing tips!!!!
I love the "enhanced reality" look, my favorite way to light
Incredibly helpful sir
Love u mate!
That subtle bajo flex was actually super cool, love these videos man😎✌️
Great tips!
5:31 lol have definitely felt that before. Great video as always!
this has easily become one of my fave youtube channels
I always adjust my shuttle angle when needed. Either for a blurred effect or adding a stop of light. I'm glad you mentioned it!
Lets explain human lifetime: 0 - 12 years = innocent childhood, 13 - 19 = teenage years, also the start of the age of responsibility. 20 - 60 yeas = Active adulthood and 60 - 120 = old age. So? When we die as children 0 - 12 years = not dying in sin and no going into torment, but immediately in the precent of GOD. When we die as teenagers (13 - 19), it`s the time to START TO COME TO REPENTANCE or when we die, we are at risk of dying in sins and going down to torment. When we die as ADULTS (in 20 - 120 years) and not come to REPENTANCE, and IF WE NOT AVOID SINNING AT ALL COST then we are 100% at risk of going to burn in THE LAKE OF FIRE. Therefore the age of responsibility starts usually with the age of 13 and yes there will be some special cases when there the age of responsibility never accrues. But stating that it can be even earlier then the age of 13 - it probably ain`t true. th-cam.com/video/eCZOh25vrKs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/O7AIngqGQoI/w-d-xo.html
The secret of life: no man nor women ever had the power to voting. And both of them still don`t have it. That power was never given to mankind. Only thing that they did give us was just an illusion of we having power. Kids = coats and Child(children) = little human being. Start to understanding the power of the words and the different meanings these carry. Therefore do not mate with big goats ( non humans) and you never get kids, mate humans and bring forth CHILDREN.
“Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.”
Proverbs 13:11 (KJV)
Accepting the truth: It is not hard for those who have been raise in truth, it`s very hard for those who been comforted with lies while they grow`d up. Sadly many amongst us have been comforted with lies their whole lives.
really good stuff!

Thanks dude. I really appreciated all your tips for lighting. And almost not buddy explain. I’m your student. 😃 I love it
The most unreal part of this video is the playing of the banjo...skill lvl 100!
Banjo skills are tight !!
Bro , your channel is a gold mine
I like the blurry effect
Thanks for the usefull trick. So simple so good. You help me to become a better cinematographer
Great content!
thx for ur stuff missed ur great creativ add but as long as u push out content im good luv from cologne
keep making these
Great video as always Lewis 👏 filmmaking is my passion too 😉🎥 best cinematic greetings from germany
sick banjo playing
I'm a total beginner, learning with an EOS-M and magic lantern, also have a BMPCCOG that I fiddle with. But the EOS-M gives me the options to really tweak things like shutter and dealing with low light and noisy footage, I figured some shots, if they were still enough, I could just drop the shutter to 360 and have that extra stop of light. Thanks for confirming this is a technique that people may use. I am also exploring shots that appear to be night shots, but instead using a higher kelvin / bluish white light to light the scene, and darken it in resolve. Saw another video about how filmmakers use this technique to avoid that inevitable low light grainyness.
Thanks
Great tips. Thanks for the reminder to not be a "yes man" on set, but to humbly push back on certain creative ideas.
awesome as always!! but Im gonna leave another comment to hopefully get a video of you explaining what your pre-production process looks like, how much time you spend before a shoot, etc. I find these videos so so helpful.. but theres very little information out there explaining what applying these techniques look like in real life. Maybe a little more info on a project breakdown that covers how much time you spent coming up with ideas and what you shared with the team and things like that. Thanks!
Hi Lewis! Can you please consider making a video about filmming interior car scenes in bright daylight? 🌞
ayo these tips are underrated, thanks mang.
Love this guy man I swear no homo
Shutter Speed adjustment...YES! I'm actually doing something right. LOL Great tips Lewis.
I’m just now discovering your channel and you’re so smart and to the point. Question: What kind of mic are you using?
i love you man
About the last tip- why most people would rather bump up iso?
Thanks Peter 💙
I came for the cinematography tips, but stayed for the banjo solo. 👌
Loved the video, may I ask what LUT you use in this video? seams like a great base to get an idea of a final look lighting wise
dope!

This is a great video.
god, i love these
Your free videos are much more informative than tomorrow’s filmmaker’s paid course😂😂
Lewis, great video. I really like the tones on your skins, looks very polished yet natural if that makes sense.. care to share a bit about your process there?
