I have spent my whole career as an editor. I just said "HA!" and slapped my hands together in one single clap. Nobody in my corporate editing room cared. Except me. I cared. Beautifully put, Jesse! I've been recently thinking a lot precisely about how what I see lacking a lot everywhere today is intention vs the shaking of the shiny new object (be it crazy drone footage, crazy slow motion or crazy whatever the fuck) Intention. Sure, the slow-mo is cool, but why is it there? What were you trying to achieve beyond us seeing there is slow motion there? Love the video, Jesse.

@@Leprutz I've worked in reality, entertainment, factual, social media producing for TV, development for factual and I now create trailers/promos for TV shows (where to be fair we cut to the beat as it's part of the trailer editing tropes.) Jesse's point is less that he's giving rules to be stuck to 100% of the time, more don't feel like you have to do what the KZfaqr filmmakers tell you to do. Be free to flex and do what works for you. I feel a lot of KZfaq video tutorial type videos give these "golden rules" of filmmaking and it means everything on KZfaq and social media looks and feels the same because they all do the same thing. TV and movies have a lot of variance. That's all. Like how in the mid-2010's it was all teal and orange grading on KZfaq filmmaker videos, dialled up to 11.

Great points! One thing I would add - autofocus. I'm frequently surprised at the amount of filmmakers (and even working DP's) who use autofocus/don't even know how to pull focus manually, or when a new cinema camera is launched and people either complain about the lack of autofocus or its limited functionality. To me pulling focus is always a deliberate choice akin to framing or focal length - the flavour you can add to a moment by how fast or slow a focus pull is or who is in focus and who isn't is being completely lost by letting your camera automate those decisions.
@jessesenko
@jessesenko Ай бұрын
For sure. Autofocus on my cam is a lifesaver for my YT vids and I even love it for corporate gigs, but only because I can’t afford an AC all the time. But I love pulling focus myself. I feel so attached to the image and don’t really have time to overthink it.

As a filmmaker you not only don't need it but it is even more harmful than useful. As an event shooter it is very useful. If once shot a wedding without autofocus and it was possible but stressful. I personally have never shot a shortfilm without manual focus pulling.
@xWood4000
@xWood4000 19 күн бұрын
I complain about autofocus because I want the camera to focus on the eye perfectly when doing something else doesn't add to the story, and I often turn it off for deliberate decisions and stuff that is too difficult for a camera to do (for example the sky sometimes)
@timsmythfilmsandanimations
@timsmythfilmsandanimations 12 күн бұрын
It depends on the film you are making. I shot my last film using it extensively, because I had to do everything on the film, and there were a hell of a lot of shots to get every day. Once the camera got the focus, I turned the autofocus off so it wouldn't change mid shot, but it was a life saver. So never say never.

To me, the mark of a great filmmaking video is one that makes me want to try out filmmaking myself, and this video definitely does that, but on another level: the thought going through my mind wasn't "I'd love to try making something with this expensive gear", it was "hmm, I wonder what I could create with what I already have lying around" You're encouraging a mentality I absolutely love: whether it's a filmmaker, or a photograph, you shouldn't see inferior gear as a handicap preventing you from achieving your best, you should see it as an opportunity to add a different flavour to your work. Learn to use its quirks to your advantage

For me using a gimble is a way of telling a story. If I'm filming a professional contractor who is doing his job concentrated and with a lot of skill and precision I want my shots to be as steady and controlled. So I use a stabilizer. When I'm filming a documentary and telling a story on how someone is dealing with fear during there sport I'm using handheld shots. Just because it's more personal and gives the viewer a better connection with my main character. Same counts for drone shots as well.

as a fledgling youtuber, I will say getting a little control of depth of field - along with lighting - was a big zero-to-one for me. I have a small, cramped work space, and the 50 millimeter lens makes it look way better. I imagine that like anything, once you learn more, you're more interested in individual choices, and I'll fully admit shallow DOF is probably the "speedy double kick lick" of filmmaking 😜

This is a fantastic video Jesse! Like everyone else I love your voice, and the honest content you put out there. So much of 'filmmaking' and videography has become a gear arms race. I agree with your point, find the gear that works the best for your project or that gives you the most versatility for the projects you typically shoot. I absolutely love the set of your A-roll! The warm neutral tones, the composition and even the lighting from your beauty ring light are incredibly done and a breath of fresh air from the overly bright and saturated RGB vibes a lot of people go with. Keep creating great content. I can't wait to watch more of your stuff!

I love this. Big stress on filmmaking as a community project , you don’t have to do everything yourself!

Excellent perspective. Took me many years, burn out, perfectionist mindset and wasted money to learn these lessons and it’s absolutely true.

I haven't seen any other video of this channel but just by this little gem of content, I thought it was worth to subscribe and follow. This speaks a lot to someone, who lives in the global south just like me and can't afford too much gear. There is too much vices, trends and "must dos" out there nad it is always nice to find someone that is more grounded and just invites viewers to stop and think as real artists and creators.
