Hey bud! I was hoping this video came out one day or another. Followed your account because of the sheer focus of beauty, narrative, and simplicity (despite the huge work that goes in!) I'm only entering the world of videography, so after finally looking at my first gear purchase in the next payslip, seeing your gear match 95% of my buying list gave me a warm chuckle to realise (the exception of A7Sii for that sweet sweet video focus and affordability!) Despite not being into photography myself, you have a way of swaying those into the elegance and impact it creates. Have a lovely life ahead, friend! And looking forward to what comes next.

This just made me oddly happy. I always thought people who make videos on such a professional level always have a tight skript and moodboard or even storyboard before they start filming. Really nice to see that you have a similar progress to me that only starts to develop into something visual after you have finished recording the skript already :D

@AnastasiiaPetrych Ай бұрын
This was insanely helpful, thank you Teo! It's interesting how gear importance is different for photography and video. For digital photography of more or less steady images, I'd say a lens is much more important than a camera body. But for videos, a camera body is of greater importance, since it defines auto-focus and raw format.

Great video. With a fledgling channel, I'm constantly learning and I greatly appreciate well crafted videos like this. I especially found your editing and exporting interesting. My editing takes a long time because I like to do everything all at once as I go through my timeline. Yours feels like it's more efficient, but I've tried with just audio before and that feels unintuitive to me because I don't know where my footage will be placed with it at first, and I'm not sure how to overcome that.

Ive nevee thought about such a "reverse engineering" as building sound+music first, and then add visuals. Ofc i dont edit video as often as you, but im quite familiar with this process, and i always add music at last place. Maybe ill try use this tip in a future :)) And about 14mm. I LOVE wide shots, expecially well composed. I think, its more about perception and immersion closer into scene as a viewer, and not about "my room is too small" hehe) As always the video is magnificent ♥

Thank you! Actually I don’t add anything, no filters or such, just do some colour grading. I did actually make a settings video though back when I got it. So it‘s a bit old but if you search for „Gopro Hero 8 cinematic settings Teo Crawford“ you should be able to find it🙌🏼

What is your a7iii settings and do you usually put ND ? I have been struggling.
@teocrawford 29 күн бұрын
I always use an ND filter and a Cinebloom filter (10%) stacked on top of each other on my lens. My A7iii is set to shoot 4k 25fps in the picture profile HLG2. Be careful though, Premiere will falsely interpret HLG2 at first and make it look super overexposed when you import the footage. Make sure to right click on the file inside of Premiere, go to “modify”, then click “color” and select Rec. 709 at the bottom where it says “Override media color space”. Then your footage will look normal and you can colour grade it quite easily🙌🏼✨

How you know the timeline off the video if you record the voice over first? What about edit the video first, and then record the voiceover with the script as the guidance.
@teocrawford Ай бұрын
I edit the audio first, because it is the priority. The visuals follow as the second priority and hence I will think of the timeline after designing the audio of the video. I know it's a bit weird, but it is works best for my style of videos :)
