Mallorca in Moving Postcards | Sony A7IV + Super-Takumar 50mm f1.4
Mallorca, Spain in June. A relaxing retreat on an island that loves its roundabouts.
Shot handheld on the Sony A7IV with the Super-Takumar 50mm f1.4 (MF). Sound captured on a mix of Rode VideoMic NTG and Sony A7IV's onboard mic.
Edited in Davinci Resolve. Loved the look of the filmic colours coming from the Super-Takumar lens, so only made subtle tweaks to contrast and white balance.
If you have any questions about the making of the film or visiting Mallorca, drop them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them :)

Three Years as a Freelance Creative: The Honest Truth
zhlédnutí 287Před 6 měsíci
I'm pulling back the curtain on being a full-time freelance creative for the past three years. From navigating a pandemic-induced layoff to carving out a niche in the world of photography and videography, I've experienced the highs, lows, and everything in between. In this video, I'm getting real about the challenges of freelance life. Whether you're a fellow freelancer seeking solidarity or si...
Cinematography Showreel 2024 - Richard Lam | Sony A7IV
zhlédnutí 209Před 7 měsíci
Some of you may not know, but I became a full-time freelance filmmaker and photographer nearly three years ago. This is my first update to my showreel since I started this new career. I was trying to figure out what footage to include and how to showcase my style: story-driven, human-led moments that are rooted in emotion. Eventually, the common theme linking some of my favourite projects over ...

Welcome to the mesmerizing beauty of Taiwan. When people think of Taiwan, they often think of Taipei and the landmark Taipei 101 building, but there is so much other natural beauty on this island. This video features scenes from Hehuanshan, Xitou, Longpan Park, and Jiufen. Shot handheld on the Sony A7IV with a few shots on the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Ambient sound captured using Sony A7IV's onboard mic...
Japan in Moving Postcards | Sony A7IV

Slow moments from ten days in Japan. We did the typical first trip itinerary - Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka - with stops in Nara, Kobe, Himeji, and Hiroshima. I think if I were to go back, I’d definitely seek out some of the smaller towns and more of nature. Oh, and try an onsen too. All shot handheld on the Sony A7IV. Ambient sound captured using camera's onboard mic. Edited in Davinci Resolve. Graded ...

Analog activities in a digital world. Earlier this year, I went over to my friend Ben's place. We’d previously talked about collaborating, and that night, he improvised and came up with this song, “Magnolias”, on the spot. Our idea was to have him write the music, and I would shoot some accompanying visuals. Our inspiration for this was spring - which represents a hopeful, new beginning. It’s t...

Slow Down | Sony A7IV Short Film
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed rokem
Is the moment passing you by? Slow. Down. When things aren’t going well, it’s easy to look forward to some arbitrary outcome, event, or emotion sometime in the future. Conversely, it’s also easy to crave the past and how things once were. I needed to learn - and I continue to work on - how to stay rooted in the now. Slow down, be still, and be present. I truly made this video as a reminder to m...

Love this! 🔥
Thank you so much, Rhea! 🫶
So beautiful!
Thanks Robyn! Holding out hope for your return to CZcams at some point 🙏
done subscribing! planning to create like this type of video, I do won sony a7ii as well, but one questions, can you please share your video recording settings please? specifically to get the smooth clear slow mo shots, also I want to know what sd card you using? Thank you so much in advance and what a great inspiring piece of work you got here.
Thank you for subscribing! I believe the slow motion was shot in 1080p 60fps, 1/125 shutter speed (for motion blur). Hope that helps!
Beautiful work. I love it! The music was a perfect choice as well.
Thank you so much Daniel! It really was, the track is literally titled “Inca Mallorca” 😂

Amazing video bro, What lenses did you use? I’m buying the same camera so would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks man! This was mostly shot with the Sigma 24-70, with some Sony 24-70 GM II and Sony 35 1.8 sprinkled in. Hope that helps!

Ahhhh Simone! This comment is everything, thank you so much 🥹💙 so glad our paths crossed last year and I feel like you're just getting started as well. Excited for what's to come for both of us!!
I see a lot of myself in what you're saying.

Not a VFX artist, just good at following CZcams tutorials 😂 so glad you can relate! You too - rooting for you!
Incredibly heartfelt video Richard. Thanks for sharing your honest truth. I'm feeling very hopeful. Pura Vida!
Thanks Turbo, heartfelt and hopeful message was exactly what I was going for! Back to editing the sizzle reel for the doc. Pura Vida!

Nice video what do you keep your in camera detail level (sharpness)on for 4K and HD?
Thank you! This was shot with my old camera, but I believe I had Detail turned down to -7. It's the same setting I have now on my newer camera
@@richshoots and what about HD detail level?
@@GottaVision I think the same!
@@richshoots thanks man keep up the great work. I’m looking forward to seeing more I also sub to your channel.
@@GottaVision I appreciate you, thank you! I have a new video dropping today about my creative journey - stay tuned 👀
👌🎬🔥 great video
Thank you Dawid, really appreciate that! 🫶
Curious what your main source of income is as a full time filmmaker! I'm trying to do the same, would love to know!! Amazing video btw :)
Hey Shaun! It’s pretty much all client work right now - people and businesses that need video production. This reel is a mix of client and personal work! Maybe I’ll do a CZcams video on it sometime 🤔 let me know if you have other questions!
woohoo
yippee ki-yay, today's the day
Absolutely love your work so much, I've rewatched it so many times! Amazing! Btw wheres the location of the forest with the trees?
Aww thank you so much, Johna - that means the world 🥹💙 That's Xitou Nature Education Area, definitely recommend it for some serene nature!
Beautiful video. Is that paid music or free ?
Thank you! It’s royalty free music from Artlist, which is a paid subscription. Link is in the description :)

Amazing Video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your Video Quality Is Very Amazing
Thank you so much!
How do you carry all your gear around when walking around?
For these Moving Postcards videos, I just have my camera, one lens, a variable ND, and a Peak Design strap. So, I either just carry that around, or I'll also carry a backpack if I want to take a second lens. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Love your style, reminds me of gaux's videography. Keep it up!!
Appreciate that Shaun, Gawx is super talented so I’ll take it!
Keizoku wa chikara nari - through persistence comes strength. Thought this was appropriate for you and your determination to follow your dreams🙏🏼

It seems like the CZcams algorithm has picked up this video. Thank you so much for watching this one. If you enjoyed it, I have more videos in this Moving Postcards series (Japan and Taiwan) coming soon! 🫶
Great choice of LUT, the color looks amazing! Also, I really like the moving postcards concept!
Thanks so much, Baishali! I love it too, just simple scenes to share what I see when I travel. More videos in the series coming soon 🫶
Love the music and the lut!
The song is literally called “Sagrada Familia” so the fit couldn’t get better 😂
Feels like the landscape and soundtrack for a beautiful foreign love story
I can totally see it being part of the Before Sunrise trilogy!
Beautiful work!
Thank you! The city is really picturesque so it made my job easy :)
So peaceful 😌
exactly what i was going for!
Richard, thanks for such a beautiful review! Love the results 😃
My pleasure guys! Can't wait to use it on future projects as well 😊
Beautiful work man! I just recently got dehancer and I'm stoked to use it seeing your footage!
Ah missed this comment, really appreciate that dude! Excited to see what you make with it!
Wonderful shot at 0:41 - the orange in the sky looked awesome. How did you find the color grading process with Dehancer? I haven't used it but I've seen others get good results
Thank you! That’s actually an iPhone clip. I thought it was pretty good! I’m actually gonna film a review video tomorrow so let me know if you have any specific questions!
@@richshoots oh wow - nice one! Couldn't tell it was an iPhone shot. I make films as well on my channel, would you mind taking a look and letting me know what you think Richard?
Beautiful music and imagery! So calming 👏🏻😌
Thank you Julie! 🙂🫶
