Thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Absolutely! I used a baby pin to 1/4 20 thread adapter. It came with the Amaran 60X when I bought it, but I think you can find something similar on websites like B&H, or maybe even Amazon. I hope this helps!

This was a really good one :) Although we might *know* about these things, it’s easy to forget in the heat of filming and over time, so these reminders from time to time about things like transitions and other elements are useful reminders of our options :) Will for sure try to be more intentional about incorporating this into some future videos :D

I’m gonna play devil’s advocate 😜 what about a movie like Baraka that doesn’t have a unified story? Is it still cinematic?
@foxandcrowncreative
@foxandcrowncreative 23 күн бұрын
For sure great question! I'm going to be honest, this isn't a film I've studied a whole lot, but here are my thoughts. Although Baraka is a non-narrative documentary, the director still takes the viewer on an intentional journey. All of the decisions, techniques, camera choices etc., were intentional for telling the story he wanted to tell, human nature and our impact on the environment. Again, I'm absolutely not an expert on this film, this is just my opinion based off of my take away from the film and interviews I've read with the director. I'd love to hear your take on it as well!

@@foxandcrowncreative hmm you make some really good points! It actually brings up a really interesting philosophical question. Is something cinematic because of the story it’s telling? or can something be cinematic without having a story tied to it, for different factors (lighting, composition, color, production design, etc)? I guess it depends how we define cinematic (I guess I’m defining it loosely as something that looks like it could belong in a movie shown at the cinema). I’ve seen some cinematography reels that I’d call “cinematic” that don’t have an overarching story. But then I guess we need to clarify what we mean by story, too. Can a single shot that doesn’t tell a complete “story” be “cinematic”? The philosophical side of me might ponder these things for a while haha. Happy to hear your continued thoughts too, either way

You are talking a lot about color grading without mentioning Lighting which is the basis for any look. The color grade is just the touch-up of what was shot. At least in my opinion obviously. Grading and Lighting are all part of the same process. Great video none the less.

Hey, thank you so much for reaching out I really appreciate the feedback! Absolutely, I completely agree. In the video, I mention a few times that there are many elements like composition, lighting, etc., that all work together to create a cinematic experience. I also say that color grading is just one among many elements that make up a cinematic image, but it's not the only element. I did talk about color grading a little bit for context, but I agree that lighting and color grading work together and I could've talked about that more in this video. I will definitely keep that in mind in future videos. Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers, my friend!

A story well told (or shown and heard) will be immersive, and when combined with care in lighting and sound design it will be cinematic...but story is always king. Technical expertise and superb color grading (e.g., teal and orange) without story is just fancy, irrelevant noise. Thank you, Ryan, for making every frame count!

Sometimes it is hard to explain what makes a video cinematic. It is much easier to point out when a video is not cinematic. I agree with you on the story part being the most important aspect. For me the cinematic style is the way the story is being told and shown. To capture and show the moments in an immersive way, where the viewer feels like he is a witness of the story being told. Using techniques and viewpoints that do not reflect the daily real world expierence, but where it can make it feel like a real life experience for the audience. Oh boy reading my comment it sounds way to complicated. 😅

Absolutely, I couldn't have said it better myself! I remember when movies like Jurassic Park came out I I was blown away and would often forget that I was watching a movie at times. When I was a kid I would watch all of the behind the scenes footage after watching the movie (I still do this haha), and of course found that there were many decisions carefully crafted to create a viewing experience that felt real and I absolutely fell in love with that process. I totally agree, it's hard to describe in just a few words. There was so much more I wanted to add in the video. In a nutshell, I believe that through intentional decisions within the cinematography and edit, to provide context and a natural flow that compliment the script and story throughout the entire process can truly create a cinematic experience. For me, these are the tools that we can use to tell our stories in an immersive way. Much like word structure can be used to bring a book to life, or how a brush and canvas can make a paint come to life. I can chat about this forever haha, but I truly loved your take on the word, very well said. Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out, I love talking about things like this. 🎥 Cheers, friend!

I found your channel just recently, and have been watching videos one by one. This channel reminds me of the channels like Film Riot 5, 6 years ago. (Back then, there were more 100% analog how to do things with low / zero budget, without helper, and it was more fun.) I'm a solo shooter on a shoe string budget, and I really like what you show can be adapted for people like myself , for even less gear & money. I just finished the video showing the example of how do I do "camera tilting up" while filming myself solo. As someone said, "The limitation elevates the art"!

@foxandcrowncreative
@foxandcrowncreative Ай бұрын
Absolutely, I'm glad the video could help! I think looking into your key light is a great start. The M20C has some power for a small 20W light, but for more output and flexibility I personally feel like the Molus X60 offers a lot of value for the price. I've used it as a key in many situations, but it's also bi-color, RGB and has a handful of lighting effects as well. It's extremely bright for a 60W light, and you can either plug it in or use the battery grip making it portable, which can give you a wide range of ways that you can use it. This would be my recommendation if you are looking for a great light that can go a long way at a great price point. Definitely my favorite 60W light personally. I hope this helps!
