How to shoot a CINEMATIC product video
Thankyou Brother ❤❤❤❤ u kept it Really nice and Simple ❤
I feel like once you’re at the point of owning all that nice lighting, you don’t particularly need this sort of information. Great goals to work towards though 🤙
You’d be surprised there are lots of people that own tons of expensive gear and have zero clue how to use it properly.
Also just teaching principles here at the end of the day. You can make something look super good if you know principles
Instead of a bounce board... Would u recommend using a checkerboard reflector???
Totally depends. I probably wouldn’t use something that has a reflector element just cause it can be a really hard light. I’d recommend a a checkered bounce that has like white and tan colors that gives a nice mix of warm and cool light. Or look up bluff bounce. It’s a new thing that will blow your mind!
Incredible info 🎉 new subscriber thank you!!!🎉
Hell ya! Absolutely! Thank you!!!
Smart things 😂😂😂
😂 sometimes I don’t know what else to say
These videos are incredibly helpful, thank you
Hell ya thank you!!!! I need to make more videos like this

Hell ya bro thank you!!! Definitely will do more of these

Hell ya 😎😎😎
This is excellent! Love all your videos. Where did you see BTS of Oppenheimer?
Hell ya thank you!!! I’ve seen it on pages like learn filmmaking and stuff like that but I need to figure out how see that stuff at the actual source. I still don’t know where to find that stuff!
Super cool video! I am excited to try out these techniques on upcoming projects. Thanks for putting this together!
Absolutely! I’m glad it was helpful! Tag me in the final product if you post it I’d love to see the results
Let’s see the short film

thx
Thank you!!!
PVC tube is so lame, aluminium profiles from hardware stores are not much more and look a lot more professional. With a saw, some files grinding paper and a power drill you can make frames easy, cheap and pro-looking. Filmmakers can benefit from DIY skills anyway when we have to improvise at the scene. :D
I’d love to see that!
In photography i expose for the sky and then use a strobe to light the skin. For video do you expose for the skin and bring down the highlights in the background/sky in post?
this deserves so much more recognition.
Haha thank you bro!
Was that grain intentional? Really distracting
Oh ya! Love me some 16mm grain ❤️❤️❤️
Hey amigo which lense you recommending to me i want one cine lense???
That’s a hard one. Are you wanting a spherical or anamorphic lens? Do you want a prime or a zoom? And do you want character or something more clinical?
@joshmillerdp I'm not a professional, so I don't have any idea which one is better, Zoom or Prime, Which one is better spherical anamorphic, which is better than one of those is better which one you recommending for recording video music and podcast,thanks bro
Ok. I’d probably recommend if you want a cine prime lens, do the DZO vespid 35mm. That’s a good focal length. If you want a zoom maybe like a DZO Pictor
Love these info videos 🔥
Yo thank you bro!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing video thank you watched the whole thing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hell ya glad you liked it!! I love me a good cine lens
Love this man! Solid insight about this topic
Hell ya thank you bro! 😁🔥🔥🔥
I’m here for this one! 🎉
Yaaaaaa budddaaaay! Let’s go!!!
Babe get the popcorn Josh dropped a 20min video! 🍿
Get cozy 😎😎😎
best catch light discussion I've seen yet. And I been looking.
Heyo thank you so much!!! I’m glad it was so helpful!
what if your character is moving around a lot, or you have a lot of wide shots in your film?
That’s an awesome question! Same principles apply just do different things. For a moving shot you could have a 8x8 frame with diffusion and could have 2 people carrying the frame and walking with the talent. And if it’s just a wider shot just get bigger frame and neg and it’s the same thing
Please do more of these!
Sweeet you got it 🔥🔥🔥

So helppfull my friend
Niiiiiice that gets me pumped! All I could ask for. Thank you!
Dude so sick! Keep it up🙌
Brooooo thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video Josh! I don't know which tablet you are using but some of them if you hold your pencil still after drawing the arrow it makes it into a perfect arrow. Could be handy for the next video if it works.
No way?! Oh sick I’m gonna have to try that! I have an iPad Pro. Thanks bro!
@@joshmillerdp Your welcome bro :)
Thank you for the insight!! Always great
Absolutely!!! Glad you enjoyed it bro!
Thanks

Awesome! Thanks dude! Make sure you try this yourself! It’s the best!
that is some high quality audio!!!
Hahaha gotta love the podcast mic
Really enjoyed this my man! Great content; great explainer. Also, I LOVED OPPENHEIMER
Thanks bro!!! I know….100% will be one of the best movies of all time
Every time I see breakdowns like these I realize my life is a lie 😅 yes im not done the video yet idc
Hahaha wait what?!
Like I’ll see a “naturally lit” scene and finding out “nah bro it’s all lit” 😂
Oh oh oh 😂😂😂😂 ya dude. When you create a world you are CREATING THE WORLD haha pretty much fake it all!
I'm curious, for the backlighting part, what if you substitute a mirror board and a 1/4 grid as the key light instead of the bounce 4 by. Would it get the same results?
Super good question! Ya absolutely you would! And you’d probably want to use that if you need a wider shot and you couldn’t get close with the bounce board. I’ll have to show that in a video some time! Thank you!
Sorry
Great work, thank you Josh!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for the content, very insightful
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it 🔥
Thanks for the tips. The scene was great
