What's your favorite focal length/shot from this video? 💥
85mm
35 and 85
24mm for general music video making
85 ‘ mm ....that one is my best , where can get ? Can you send me the link
85mm definitely. Focuses on the subject in my music videos, though it's m43 so I guess it's closer to 170mm, but I dig it. Rokinon 85mm t1. 5. Keep up the great work!
85mm is used in a lot of Movies for focusing in on a character then they switch to 35mm to give the audience perspective of the setting, wihout revealing too much, making them think about what's about to happen next. The Village is a perfect Example
Shout out to the Village. One of the most underrated films of all time.
Most filmmakers seem to prefer 50mm
@@slurp3194 instead of 35 or 85mm?
Based on this it should be safe to conclude that the 24mm looks perfect for fast paced action, the 35mm for normal everyday action and the 85mm (or 50mm) is perfect for slow and surreal action.
35 and 50mm are almost interchangeable. I havnt seen any dp go that wide like 24mm they usually still to 35mm for wide actions scenes anything else becomes way too chaotic. 50mm is most commonly used it really doesn’t have a specialty you use it when ever for what ever super safe focal length and 85mm for film making is alot more rare.
You have brought a new perspective to my life. I didn't realize how lenses could create emotion differently
Great demo, Joris - thank you. Very different feel on that 85mm!
I would say if you can only afford one lens and you absolutely want a prime to get a 35mm lens. It kind of does everything you need from wide shots to tighter, more intimate shots. It’s also 3-4 times lighter than zoom lenses. Just gotta use your body as the zoom. Also, don’t forget that Sony cameras all have their aps-c mode. That means you can turn a 35mm into a 52.5mm with the click of a button. The sensor oversamples on the A7IV so even on aps-c mode you’re still capturing 4.6k downsampled to 4k. Full frame mode downsamples from 7k.
When I leave the house I don’t like taking a huge cache of gear. I take my camera with one lens(35mm f1.8 on the body), a mic, a mini tripod, and a variable nd filter. That setup covers me for 90% of shooting both photos and video. It took me years to finally come to terms with this setup but I’m telling you, it’s so freeing to drop all that insane, mostly unused weight.
2 years later. Ur still the goat. Best and clearest vid I’ve seen so far
This was an amazing comparison of the different focal lengths in video. I learnt a lot. Thank you very much for creating this!
Nice video, I love my 24-105 l lens for video. It’s definitely a great all round option for video and photography.
Awesome comparison!
I liked the 85mm because it looked so dreamy, but that would only work in an intimate scene where we want to focus on our character.
Great comparison! Can’t pick a favorite, like you said, it depends on the story and how you want it to feel
Thanks, Joris, these examples are really useful - learned a lot of practical concepts.
Best video ever seen explaining about lenses. Keep it up bro. Cheers from Mozambique 🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿.
Great video! So well explained🙌
Really cool video, and I appreciated you talking about what lens you can use to tell the story and make your viewer feel a certain way. Thank you.
Great content!! Much needed!
This was super helpful! Thank you!
this was very useful
THANK YOU so much for making this video, I really learned too much! thank you, wish you the BEST
Great comparison. Just what I was looking for as prep before a wedding I was shooting 🔥
Love this video, such a cool way to do the comparison. thanks
Loved the profile 85mm - it really connected you with the subject but wasn't disorienting. You gave me an idea, too: the 85mm circle shot would work well if you're trying to convey that someone just got some bad news that has thrown their world into chaos. Regardless, I learned a lot through this video. Thanks for sharing!
thats basically indian drama shows (tv show/serial) where whenever something happens they just do this and add audio(dum tanananannananan) . there quite a lot of memes on this too in india.
Bad Boys movie did it as well lol
Excellent video, thank you and thanks for the extra tips
Awesome comparison thanks!!
Thanks for this video. Now, to add to all of the other elements of cinematography (lighting, aspect ratios, subject placement, camera angles, etc.) now I get to ponder focal lengths in relation to motion as am element of visual story telling.
Great comparison examples. TY
Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for this video!!
Great video, you explain very well the differences, which in the videos are quite decisive, especially for those come from the world of photography where everything is more static........................
For me, 50mm still looks best, you might say it's a photography centric focal length, but I have been using 50mm for video for a while and it looks sick
50mm is being used by so many filmakers in hollywood
the first lens I bought was a 50...its still my favorite
I'm learning so much thanks!
Very informative video. I like your honesty and subtle humor. Subscribed fast.
Thank you 🙏🏾. I was surprised at the results.
This is a really really good video. Thanks for this!
gracias! me ayudo mucho tu video!
Great video man super helpful
Thanks for this!
Very good content with practical demonstration
Great comparison! So interesting to see how much the focal lenght affects the footage. I think all of these have their place in video, depending on the topic and the story as you said. Sometimes a nice wide angle view is needed when other times a narrow 85mm shot makes the footage more special 🙌🏼
This is valuable information! ❤️❤️
amazing video and soooo helpful
Thank you for this video. This help me decide to get the voightlander 35mm 1.4
wow this video is informative in a very cool and unique way! thank you for it! :)
Man, that 24 really looked amazing for that long shot, leading shot, and the circle shot. 85 was great for the follow shot and profile shot, though the other two did alright, too.
This is an amazing review. I love the examples and I dig your personality!
Glad you enjoyed it!
🔥🔥🔥 thank you for showing the distance between you and the frame!!!!!!!!!
Awesome vid 👍 @Joris Hermans, nice comparison. Can't choose any 😅, all 3 of them are good in their own way while using it, & as you said it will mainly depend on what's the story, what needs to be conveyed, and the focal length.
But maybe if I need to choose, I would go for the 24mm
* I'm planning to go for either the Sony aps-c 50mm F1.8 OSS or Sigma 30mm f1.4 for my a6400.
best explained video ... perfect 👌🏼 👌🏼 👌🏼
Thanks Joris, brilliant observations! The 35 is my favorite, but the 24 and 85 are must haves to complete the story.
🤝🏻💯
Great vid!
Thanks for the video, Joris.Good comparing. I definitely need to get Sigma 18-35 F/1.8 for my Canon 90D.
Awesome comparison
this is the kind of video i was looking for, actually I bought an 85mm as my first lens which was a huge mistake, 2:25 you are explaining the issue here, now I'm aiming to buy a 35mm as my second lens, since you mentioned you were a photographer for over a decade and you were shooting with 24, 35 and 85, now my planning is making a lot of since, my plan is that i want to add a 20mm to my 35 and 85 later on.
Great comparison
thanks a lot for this video
Wow! thank you soo much.
This video helped a lot of understanding the difference
Dear Joris, Thank you very much for very nice work!
Many thanks!
Great video!!
Great video. Always waited for this!
So far I use a 18-55 kit lens on APS C; That is like 28 to 85 probably. I loved the 23mm out of it: 35mm Full Frame
This is a beautiful video, thanks!!!
I have to ask, do you have a video talking about you photo work whit these three badass?
Would be awsome.
Thanks againb.
Great Video - very informative and inspiring.... I'm looking for a new lense for my Sony A6000, your info has given me some insight into a few options, Thank you Joris!!
Great comparison thanks. I love the 24 and 85.
I learned a lot. Thanks
You're welcome
Wow! That first walk on 85mm is like a scene from some TV series! You showed some amazing features I didn't think of before! Also the actress is looking good in the shot. Thank you.
i love the feel of the 85mm it gives it this sci-fi, mystery kind of feel, the 24mm/35mm feels more economic and can be used to accommodate neutral and happy feelings, I'm currently debating between getting 2 new lens and 85mm and between a 24mm/35mm prime, it's weird because on my 24-105mm when on a gimbal when shooting video, i mostly really live on the 24mm end
Cool! thanks
Thanks for new informations for us. 0 dislike shows how useful your videos are.
Helpful video Thanks
Most welcome
Technically because the lower the focal length the more the image compressed into the frame which makes everything "moves" faster due to more image is moving in the same range/size, and this is also why you see some distortion around the frame.
Hey man your videos are cool. I shoot with Nikon glass. Moving to the black magic 4k. What are good lenses for film and do you think Nikon Prime 35 and Zoom 18-35 are good lenses for a Black Magic?
great vid!
35mm looks the best!! Balanced and meets all criteria. Great Video!!
really enjoyed the different focal length demos!! and the setting is so pretty!! Question, did you shoot in log? did you add stabilization in post? thx!! really love your videos :)
Log: yes! Stabilization in post: No, I turned on IBIS for extra smoothness.
@@JorisHermans Thx!! the smoothness of your gimbal shots are amazing!! I've tried some walking shots with a Ronin RSC2 but the gimbal wouldn't hold the camera still which was very disappointing and ended up returning the gimbal. I'm sure some of it was user error but it would shake from left to right and couldn't seem to get it to stop that... thanks again for replying :)
Hey Joris. Great Video. Seriously, this taught so much more than taking a full course on Filmmaking or Cinematography. Quick Question - Why is that majority of the filmmaker when shooting B Roll specially Slow Motion shots prefer to a telephoto lens like 50mm or 85mm. Why can slow movement be done with a Wide Angle Lens?
I think because of the shallow dof 🤔
Goal reached! You were not way overdramatic! Great video
I wish I had the money for lenses, and this video increased that want!🤣 great video!
Thanks,, Good comparing. I will buy Sigma 35mm F/1.4 DG DN for my Sony a7 iii
Amazing!
good review and see the results in real time is wonderful..good job.
now, what lens would you use for high speed camera wave for slow motion videos? indoor and outdoor use ? 85 mm?
I think it doesn't really matter. It depends on how close you want to be to your subject 🤔
hey Joris could you tell me how I did on my newest video where I too was comparing lens but a different type of lens
i think about the sony trio 24 - F2.8G and 40 + 50 mm F2.5G. What would you buy 40 or 50mm? for video. Do you do b-roll in 50mm or 85mm?
Thank you for your videos !!!! Love them !
Late to the party but a well done video on the differences. well articulated too. Like you... a wedding shooter switching to video.
Love the 35 as a good mixture between the other.
Wow.. it's so helpfull. My conclusion is, if it's not for vlogging, 35 is the only lens you need.
Besides your videos, I really like your t-shirts. You have good taste in music.
🤘🤘😎
Great video! I learned so much in just 9 minutes. But can I ask (and this is an old video, so I don't expect a response) but what would be the difference between shooting wide in 24 and 'tight' in 85, as opposed to only shooting with a 24, and then just cropping in? Excuse my ignorance, and I'm sure it's obvious, but I just can't put my finger on it!
What lens did you shoot the video in your studio with? I'm having some issues with AF and the items I show on my CZcams videos. MAYBE I just need a lot of b-roll.
Haha! Awesome disclaimer! "If not, I've been way too overly dramatic in my opening line"
Thumbs up and subbed just for that... now lemme see the rest of this very interesting subject matter! :D
This video video made me decide what lens I should buy.
I have for some weeks been torn between 24mm and 35mm.
I could just buy the Sigma 18-35mm and be covered in, but I am a sucker for primes.
35mm it is!
There's something about primes 🤷🏻♂️😎
Hello Sir thanks. Thinking about portraits... so for bg blur go long on tripod. For less blur 24mm. Saving for a Canon 10 18mm. Got 18 - 250 covered with kits and auto focus EF film Rebel film lens 28 90mm less switching for portraits. Thanks for sharimg. May get a 24mm prime for size and weigth in car on a canon SL1 crop. You are an amazimg person. Ideas Rebel EF film lenses and canon 10 18mm for crop.
Thanks for this. Really useful comparison. 😀 What's the closing credits tune?

Hi, thanks because of sharing this informative video.
I am a teacher and want to produce educational videoes while teaching which accompanied by writing on the whiteboad. I have canon r7. Which lense should I buy?
hey, weighing in late here. To me when using the 24mm the background needs to be interesting or at least NOT distracting, which I felt it was in the shots where there is a truck or hanger behind her. The 35mm blurs the background a bit more, which helps. And the 85mm definitely feels more interesting for cinematic shots, isolates the character. What do you think about the 50mm focal length for gimbal work?
I would like to know which lens is you using to shoot your video .
I have the 85mm F1.8 and planning to buy either 24mm or 35mm… but now my choice will go for 35mm .. thanks for the video 🙏🏻
I think for landscape shots, you would definately need 24mm too.... but yeahh, Go For 35 first xD
@@SiddharthJogi I already have both 35 & 24 .. because I got a promo for the 24mm paid 600$ new… I tend to use the 85 & 35 more.. I planning to get the 18mm instead of 24mm
24mm is far better and a lot more vertile than 35mm
@@Halgame99 I tend to use 35mm more frequently.. i know 24mm more versatile but in some situations only and it’s great for landscape & interiors
Great video Joris. I love the 85mm where she was walking and giusto took a side shot. Was that colour graded or is it straight from the camera. Did you take it with a Sony A7 iii? I love the quality it's amazing.
Also is that field location local to you? It's a really nice place to shoot. Seems quite at times. At least I noticed it stopped raining now lol.
Color graded but it was a pain in the ass with all that yellow and green reflecting 🤯😄 it’s a nice place 2 minute walking from here.
@@JorisHermans I see, you did an amazing job with the colour,
that location is very nice, must be good to film there
When I use the gimball, is it better to leave the ibis on or off on my sony a7iii?
So these differences have to be created by the respective lenses and not by moving in or away from your subject (eg a 35mm moved in closer to the subject to mimic a 70mm distance)right?
Hey Joris, could you give us some advice on how to use a 85 mm indoors for other things than portait? I just got a superb Viltroxx 85 mm and struggle to use it indoors, that would be helpful !
Well, when I was studying photography, I used an 85mm a lot for product shots in the school studio. Things like perfume bottles and drink bottles.
