Coming from a photographer of 8 years and beginning to tackle videography, this beginners guide was brilliant. Made the steps of tackling videography a lot less daunting. Well explained and concise in the right areas whilst explaining in more detail when needed. Awesome job!
Keep in mind that the 180° rule kinda begins falling apart if you are shooting >AND PLAYING BACK< at frame rates far away from 23.976fps such as the very common ones 50FPS, 59.94FPS and 60FPS. I actually prefer 360° of shutter at these playback framerates. Funny enough, this is basically the same shutter SPEED as at 24fps with 180° of shutter angle. Its best to not just blindly copy a single setting but rather consider the context of what you are setting up in a specific moment. Also keep in mind that shooting at shutter SPEEDs that are not a multiple (2^n) of 1/100 or 1/120 can give you flickering depending with some lights due to them flickering at 50Hz or 60Hz depending on what area you are in (Europe is 50Hz for example, any of the Americas and Japan are 60Hz)
Definitely worth mentioning for those outside of the US (like yourself) that using 25fps is more suitable than 24fps as light flicker is much less likely to occur during filming due to the hz rating on our lights! Filming is definitely a different beast to photography and both require different thought processes and actions.
I did originally have that in the script, along with how to combat flicker and where it occurs, PAL and NTSC, the relation to shutter speed, and where the standards came from etc, but it ended up being too technical for beginners so I decided to cut it. There's just way too much stuff to include in 1 single video! But definitely doesn't make it less valid. Even though I'm from Australia, I always shoot in NTSC anyway and generally recommend that for international compatibility, and for light flicker I actually tend to break the 180 shutter rule (because you need to anyway) and it tends to work for me! But yes, definitely valid. I'll give you a Heart and hopefully other people see this comment too.
@@patkay absolutely understandable bro, hard to put so much info into a video without losing effectiveness! Definitely keen to see more from you mate, keep it up 👌
I am a content creator (primarily fishing videos and other water activities) and I have been rocking with the GoPro for a year and a half now. It has served me well but now that I'm getting into some bigger projects within my business, I've been thinking it's time to set up the gear a little. Looking forward to seeing more videos in this series and bingeing a bunch of your videos!! Thanks so much, this video was super helpful!!
Wow you just came in clutch. I was just looking for a refresher because I wanted to start making videos but havent made videos in 5yrs.Thank you! Love your content! ❤
This is such an excellent intro video! I was hoping this wasn't just click bait, and it turns out I learned a lot! Keep it up, can't wait for this channel to blow up.
I get all my shirts and hoodies from the fine fellows over at Zanerobe. Not sponsored, I just love their stuff and love supporting local Aussie brands.
@@patkay love how you go in depth were others wouldn't. My first cameras were prosumer quality and did not have a shutter angle option and my lenses did not have the ability to rack focus. I did some of my better shots on them. But when I bought a professional video camera with new cinema lenses. I spent all day playing with the shutter angle and the rack focus. Good times.
I just got my Sony Zve 10 and I found this video 👏🏽👏🏽 I’m excited to use this information when I record today Most likely coming right back to rewatch 😂
This was really straightforward to understand. I am a hopeful photographer starting to play with video. I had been putting it off for so long because the learning curve felt too steep but this video was extremely helpful
JUstr starting in video, this is the best summary I've seen so far, good job .....now, would be interested to see how to use and create LUTs and do SLOG post processing in general
Awesome video my friend…..you just got a new sub !!! Thank you kindly for taking your time to make and edit this video for us….much appreciation from 🇨🇦
Thanks for that! Studio lighting is certainly a beast of a topic which I do cover in my Photography Fundamentals course, but I'll think about creating a shorter version for TH-cam perhaps.
If you've shot a clip at 60 fps, perhaps thinking you'd want to slow the time scale down, is there a way of downsizing the file to 30 fps? You might change your mind and decide to leave the time scale as is, so it would be nice to find a way to delete every other frame....
Your software will automatically do this unless the footage was slowed down in-camera. To "undo" footage that has already been slowed down, simply speed it back up! To get a 60fps (slowed down) clip to play back at normal speed, just set it to 200%.
Great tips Pat! Just curious, at around 4:00 you talk about 1/120th refreshing more times per second but it is the same as for any other shutter speeds. Only the frame rate would change how much “refreshing” is taking place. Shutter speed just affects the motion blur. Does that sound about right to you?
It's more that for every frame in your frame rate, it's being exposed at different times depending on your shutter speed, so actually, the overall intervals between each frame look like they're shorter and refreshing more, but yes, the best way to think about it, as I mentioned in the video, is just that it controls the motion blur.
00:57 🎥 Understanding Frame Rate: Video is a series of frames played back quickly. Standard cinema frame rate is 24 FPS. Higher FPS allows for slow-motion effects in editing. 03:00 🕰 Shutter Speed in Video: Shutter speed affects motion blur in video. Follow the 180-degree shutter rule: double the frame rate for realistic motion blur. Adjust shutter speed creatively based on motion and scene dynamics. 04:48 😎 ND Filters for Video: ND filters darken exposure like sunglasses for your camera. Useful when locked parameters cause overexposure. Maintain creative control over motion blur and depth of field. 05:41 🎙 Importance of Audio in Video: Crisp audio is crucial in video production. Different microphones serve various purposes. Invest in a shotgun mic for versatile audio capture. 07:03 🎬 Camera Movement Basics: Camera movements add dynamism to videos. Learn basic movements like pan, tilt, push in, pull out. Explore more advanced movements for creative storytelling. 08:12 🌐 Beyond the Basics: Videography involves cinematography, storyboarding, lighting, and more. This video serves as a primer; there's much more to explore. Stay tuned for the next installment on selecting your first camera.
Awesome video! Recently, I've started running into scenarios where I couldn't bring down the exposure anymore in camera like you mentioned and it is probably time for me to get an ND filter. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for first nd filter buyers? Thanks!
It definitely sounds like its time! For ND's, start out with the cheaper stuff like the Neewer and Hoya brands, then eventually you can work up to better brands like Tiffen or Polar Pro or B&W. Grab a Variable ND to start with so that you can have a good range, then look out for things like sharpness and colour cast, and adjust from there!
Hi Pat, REALLY great Video, sound information! Full points given. On a personal note if the speed you are talking was a bit slower I think think that would be even better. ...sure i am aware I can slow slow the speed myself it is not quite the same though. Regardless great video.
Hi Pat, great video I really enjoyed the tips. What would you recommend website platform wise for a photographer? If I wanted to sell prints, presents and maybe a mini course in future? I was wondering what platform you use and if you would recommend it. Thanks
For those who can’t find 24fps on your settings, it may be that you are in the NTSC (European) setting instead of PAL (US). So 25 FPS would be your NTSC standard. Hope this helps anyone if they were lost in the settings menu.
Thanks for adding this! I did want to cover this stuff, but I felt it a little bit too advanced since I would also have to dive into flicker and such. Great to have it here in the comments though! Have a Heart.
great video, man. glad folks are also mentioning NTSC/PAL considerations in the comments too. kinda feels like the learning curve shoots up pretty quickly beyond the basics.
I think you summed up the whole topic quite well. However, I have a strange feeling everytime I look at video productions these days. You see high resolution, high frame rates, high dynamic range, lots of colour grading, tons of effects etc. but sometimes I just feel like video/"film" nowadays is technically overloaded (well, that is wrong: I mean I get the impression that the focus is more on the technical aspects rather than on "the story"). The amount of time that goes into the technical creation and editing is huge because people get lost in what you can technically do with your footage. This is appropriate for people who deal with exactly that, but it bothers me to watch movies which are full of all the above ("visuals") but really lack meaning and sense. I don't really care if the editor did a good job on the grading or if there was a very dramatic, artistic shot, if I get to hear the same phrases, let's say, in every crime production or the same lack of plot logic and character building in every new Disney Star Wars, for example. If I watch old movies with low resolution, no colours, but a reasonable plot, this is often more enjoyable than high-tech visuals.
Hello, thank you for this very interesting video, but I don't understand the point of shooting in 24 fps when you can do it in 60 or even 120... Don't 60 and 120 just allow more freedom if you want to do slow-motion shots, or isn't it just more pleasing to the eye than 24 FPS? Thank you very much for your reply!
this 180 degree shutter rule, it applies to the fps you're shooting with and not to the final fps of the video, right? say, if I shoot a video at 60fps with an intent to later slow it down 2.5x (thus, playing at 24 fps), my shutter speed should still be 1/125?
That is correct! If you're wanting to slow footage down to 24/25fps definitely use the 180 on your fps, so 60=1/125. If you're not wanting to slow footage down, always revert to 24/25fps.
Correct! That's why I refer to it as "capture frame rate" vs "playback frame rate". Later on, these two concepts don't really need to be delineated so much in this way, but for beginners, it's useful to remember that they're two different things. And yep, you're absolutely right! 60fps = 1/125 @ 2.5x, 120fps = 1/250 @ 5x.
Great video! Just a fussy point, but 180 degree “rule” is NOT about shutter speed, it’s about camera blocking. Where you place the camera when filming a scene so that it still can be edited smoothly. For shutters, it’s simply a 180 degree shutter.

This is perfect. My girlfriend is helping me film my food show and wanted to take a class or something. I’m sending her this right now.
This is literally my new favourite content creator 💯💯💯 as a beginner this is gold!!!!
As a Photographer getting into videography, this video is incredible as an introduction! Well done dude!
Yeah, I’m trying to learn videography and then this is the best video so far I have seen. Thank you so much for making this video brother.
Thanks!
Cheers for the Super Thanks!
Wow you just came in clutch. I was just looking for a refresher because I wanted to start making videos but havent made videos in 5yrs.Thank you! Love your content! ❤

Random question: Where do you buy your shirts? They always looks so fitted and clean!
I get all my shirts and hoodies from the fine fellows over at Zanerobe. Not sponsored, I just love their stuff and love supporting local Aussie brands.
@ourearth4ever I think it’s more about how well he fits in the shirts 😅
Working out and being fit like Pat also helps

Was this video recorded at 24fps?
What would you recommend for streaming webcam settings for example?
Good ideas! Thanks for sharing and will implement some
The video is not good enough, its more than great! Got really hooked on the topic now
I'm glad you got some use out of it! =)
Awesome video and thank you for the knowledge Pat!
Wondering if you could also make a tutorial and understanding of studio lighting in photography 🙏🏻
Thanks for that! Studio lighting is certainly a beast of a topic which I do cover in my Photography Fundamentals course, but I'll think about creating a shorter version for TH-cam perhaps.
@@patkay Thanks for inspiring 😎🤝🏻

Really well made basics video
Fantastic! Easy to understand! One question… can one pull out and push in in post production, in editing? Will you speak about gimbals?
Up to a point, yes. When I have to push in a shot, I usually don’t go farther than 120% or it might get pixelated. 🎬🎥😎

if you are shooting 60fps and changing it to 24 fps in post whats the best shutter speed
hihi! will you be sharing how to color grade and the export setting? :)

Do action cameras hold the same rules?
Would definitely be more interested in video shots and how to think like a videographer with the best angles etc
Thank you very much
