Lighting & Composition Breakdown of a music video I filmed - IMPORTANT LESSONS
I filmed a music video for my good friend Michael Brown - I am incredibly proud of how it all turned out but I think its important to look back at previous work and see what I could do differently, improve, or change.
I learned so much and I hope I can pass on some lessons to you!
Shout out to @michaelbrownvocalsofficial for being so talented and working with me to create this stunning music video.

The Surprising Impacts of FREE VIDEO WORK
zhlédnutí 106Před 8 měsíci
In the film making industry we really are known by the content we make which doesn't always give us the space to try new things! By doing "Free work" we open ourselves up to new creative possibilities and flex those creative muscles! I give 3 reasons why I think you should create your own "work" and spend some time on projects you are passionate about.

    • @Josh_Johnston
      @Josh_Johnston Před 26 dny

      Great question!! For some reason DaVinci has that limitation from my experience, if you want to key frame effects(some not all) it’s usually done in Fusion rather than the edit page.

    Whenever i move the dot on the smooth out right option it just moves the whole image instead of doing what yours did?

    • @Josh_Johnston
      @Josh_Johnston Před měsícem

      Hmm hard to know exactly whats going wrong... but my guess is that you need to hit the smaller circle attached to the little arm, not the primary one. The primary one will move everything - while the little circle attached to the arm should help you smooth out your animations. Please let me know if that works - or send me a screen shot of the problem!

    the spline editor opens but there is no line, only the buttons

    • @Josh_Johnston
      @Josh_Johnston Před 7 měsíci

      Hey great question! This could be for a few reasons. When you open the spline editor there is an arrow pointing down in the top right corner. It could be that non of the adjustments are turned on for you, simply checking the different boxes should show you lines appearing in the editor. I typically run into this when I have not added my keyframes yet. Hope that helps! Let me know if it doesn't and I will see what else I can find out for you!

  • @preemomedia
    @preemomedia Před 7 měsíci

    Great video! Is there a way to change the velocity between two keyframes? It seems that whenever I'm trying to ease out and in to two different positions it actually changes the move of the subject itself and doesn't adjust the speed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • @Josh_Johnston
      @Josh_Johnston Před 7 měsíci

      Thank you so much!! From my understanding by editing the keyframes in the edit page the way I showed there is not a way to edit velocity. If you were to animate within fusion you get those more nuanced controls. It’s a bit intimidating at first but depending on what you are trying to do it can be pretty easy to do some simple stuff in it. You will most likely need to add a transform node and animate in there.

    My son just started on a youth Football team, and me being the one with an FX30 and all the gear, it became time for me to actually make a use of it! At the moment, the footage is used for coach film to help us work out what's going well, what isn't, what to work on with the boys and what to try to train out of their game, and what has really helped me go through 2 hours of film to turn into 15 minutes of plays is the Speed Editor and the Cut page. I just load up the footage, set in-out points and then insert. Along with that first pass of organizing the footage, making timelines with each section of the story is a great way of churning through hours of footage. I think that the new transcription feature is going to help immensely too, especially if I want to do something like record road trips or if I'm making something scripted, be able to notate my take. It's also inspired me to make a bigger go of actually making videos for myself on a more specific channel, and I posted my first one today. It's just a first impressions video of a software update, so it's not really structured or well done, but I see where I can improve on getting my reviews, stories and tutorials better made, both before picking up my camera and sitting in front of my computer. The other thing I'm doing right now is setting up a kanban board with my video ideas and putting them into sections to be able to prioritize and actually work on them.
