Have you ever done DP work? Comment below!
Hey YC - a question about the A7iii. I keep seeing people bringing up the banding/lines that occur with LED lights, but I never know how prominent it is or how that really differs from other DSLRs. I’ve been thinking of getting the A7iii as a film camera but I’d appreciate your thoughts on this. No one has been able to answer this for me!
@@CameronBryce Jason vong answers these questions about the A7III, it's usually about turning for the front shutter curtain etc.
Yeah man, that is where I started camera work.
What's up
Starting too!
YC, thank you for shooting this video for me but most importantly, your willingness to take direction outside of your normal role in the music videos you film. Your maturity and professionalism will keep you working for the next decades. I've bragged about you since you were basically a kid and now we finally worked together. I look forward to work with you again. Thank you.
Shout Out @YCImaging all the way from Oakland California! Been subscribed to your channel for about 3 years now! Keep up the legit work playa!
You're an inspiration to me. I started off doing photography, then motovlogs, and now vlogs. But making a music video has always been at the back of my mind. I dont even know why. It's just always been there.
The narrative music video is my specialty. You did a awesome job.
Love how you pronounced “Jan-Hendrik Potgieter”! He can’t be anything other than South African(like yours truly) and you made it sound EPIC bro! Really got stuck into this video bro. Was blown away by how you lit that entire scene with one light.
YOU'RE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ALL US. KEEP DOING DOPE WORK.
Im a struggling filmmaker and a couple months ago I felt less and less creative then I found your channel and I've been catching up on your videos and its been inspiring. thank you for that keep doing what you are doing. keep inspiring.
Thanks for this. As filmmakers and creatives . We appreciate all the work you put into this behind the scenes video 🙏🏽🙏🏽
A DP is a Director of Photography and and big production they report directly with the director and then directs the camera men in what is wanted. The DP themselves, generally don't operate any camera. Great video man!!!
You have no idea how much your videos have helped me, especially the ones where you share your personal experiences! You’ve helped put a lot of things in perspective for me, especially your last vlog from Sweden...thanks for being so open and willing to share your successes, mistakes, advice, tutorials, etc!!
Bro I appreciate your content so much they literally have kept me going through this initial freelance phase these last few years. Thanks for the great content fam!
It’s nice to see someone on youtube going over step by step scenes, good work brother
I have little interest in music videos but I enjoy your channel very much! You give good advice to beginners and you come through as a very honest guy who loves what he does. Recipe for success. All the best!
Shooting my second music video tomorrow and first video using my ronin s. Just wanted to say you’re videos have made me much more comfortable in my creative process and have made me more confident. Appreciate it man
Congratulations 🎉🍾 in being invited to Sweden 🇸🇪 and Epidemic Sound! You are on your way!!
Yo, thanks for the informative video...I felt like I was on set. Keep up the great work
Love your two cents and tutorials! Really love those behind the scenes on those shoots too!!
Congrats, great job...but mostly thanks for being so revealing in the end I know this is taking you to a whole other level. Appreciate you
Hey man I finally hit 100 subscribers, I just wanna say thank you for your tutorial videos 💯. I gotta better over time from them.
YC, I stay following and stay learning! Love the channel, content and FREE GAME! You kickin!!!!
thank you for all that you do, not too many ppl of color i see on here in this field so thank you 🙏🏽 it’s refreshing to see, you inspire me!
You inspire me so much to get back into working as a music video DP. I was burned out from it but now I’m moving back to LA next month to get back on the grind. I also hope to grow my portfolio channel and start shooting some BTS like you do. Also got to get some merch going that hoodie is 🔥
Man been watching your videos for a while, while even telling other creatives to check you out! Keep doing what you do true inspiration!
Thank you for being consistent been a fan for years . Mirrored your whole set up .
What's up yc...im a Nigerian content creator...and really i can boast that i have gained a lot more valuable knowledge from you than i have from any of my lecturers in my engineering faculty....and please dont even stop the things you make... The more you give, the more you have...you gained a lot of other fans like me that learn from your experience and you'd still gain a lot more....i really appreciate what you do...thank you
Watched the music video and the shots are pretty neat. You nailed the DP work! Don't know if it's a director's choice or not, but maybe one could have given the video more depth by blending in real dialogue audio of e.g. the mother/son discussion scene or later the drug handover to the priest. For me, tricks like that always add something more vibrant to the video, even if the shots and the music are more of a relaxed style :-)
Since i know your channels& what you doing...... Bro i learn a lot from you. I just wanna said I’m appreciate and respect what you doing!! Keep it up Bro!!!
Bro love your videos. Really appreciate your content. I recently had a school project and used your ideas for the in camera video transitions. My students were very happy with the result and the vid turned out great 👍 🥰
I really find your videos information and besides the fact you are and sound passionate about giving
information, its easy to understand. One of my Go-To's.
I have to say, I've enjoyed the BTS much more than the actual music video. Not to shun the artist intentionally. The breakdown made me like it a lot more.
I have learned a lot from u via CZcams your the man keep helping us independent directors out
I recently found you! And it's great to see another brother doing his thing in the video world! Me and my wife just started a videography business and things are slow but progressing! You give me faith for our future! Keep it up man!
Best trick was setting the wb for tungsten in the handover to the priest scene. I thought it was a interior to exterior shot but it was completely interior. Interesting!
Thanks YCImaging for putting out content that really helps creators. I always find myself coming back here, not only to learn stuff, but to also be motivated to get work done even if the budget isn't all that. I just did my first ever music video. How low budget was it? We used candles, fire, and cheap LEDs to make it work. No doubt some of the concepts you've put out has really helped. Thanks and cheers from Papua New Guinea!
Great video yc. I think the interior he wanted handheld when the mom/ son confrontation happened is because of the rocky situation... then he wanted the tripod cause she realizes he going to go and has to accept it so it's not so rocky anymore..
Brother thank you for sharing your advice, experiences, and knowledge with us throughout the years.. This channel has been inspiring me since before I had my own gear, and had to rent to create.. Keep them coming!!
you are the greatest inspiration and may your works be blessed too.
Crazy watching your workflow and how good the outcome was after watching this week’s Indy Mogul.
Whats Good Brodie, Dope visuals and vlogs as always! You should do an episode, where you critique subscribers video work and give suggestions on what and what not do in filming music vids. Like a crash course episode.
Half way through this video and I've already got a slew of value man!
Been watching your channel for a while now keep doing your thing love the growth, and When working with artists does their creative output help with the work process when they have a vision for their video.
What’s good! Love the channel and the positive vibes. 🙌🏽🙂
Man I didn’t know you did more work with my boy Red ! This is so dope man !
Like it’s crazy watching your videos & seeing people I actually know lol
What’s good?! I just want to thank you for all the content you’ve been putting out. It’s really helped me along the way!
Yo shout out to you YC.. You're the very first person that made me start considering making videos. you're vids have helped me out like crazy bro!!
I started with photography then studio portraiture. I have probably spent more time on sets filling randome roles than I did in a classroom. Knowledge, experience and trail and error are the best teachers. Way to be fpr stepping out of your comfort zone. Being a solo gun can be fun but having a crew is so much less stress!
love your videos. i just started photography in Jamaica about 6 months ago (mainly parties/events) and have been approached about videography. scared to do it but willing to learn. you are inspiring. continue the good work.
I just shot a workout promotion for a friend. Budget? Zero hahaha
oh hey man nice seeing ya here :)
@@Noealz hey Noe. This is another great channel I follow thanks to you.
I disagree. My belief is there there was money contributed in some way, whether it was just the gas in your car to get to the location. all jobs don't have to have a monetary value, the experience and work in your portfolio sometimes is a better ROI!
@@GHMEFilms I agree
I feel what you are saying about cameras, I haven't even got a DSLR all I have is my phone but I try to be creative with my stories that I tell
Chris has taught me so much. Thanks a lot dude!
Keep pushing!... Great to see you stretching out and teaming up...!..
You inspire me homie to step into my purpose keep pushing because you're pushing me and a multitude of other....😐
Hey man thanks for all you do for the video/photo community. Your videos have helped me a lot as a young filmmaker/photographer so your dedication to this channel is so so appreciated. I’m not saying this for the feature tbh I just wanted to take the time to say thank you... especially since I don’t really comment on videos as much 😂. ✌🏽
What's good man! Greetings from South Africa. Thanks for sharing your lessons. We are learning!
Yo YC! You have been a great inspiration and an amazing teacher to the independent music video community. I just wanted to say I appreciate you and all that you have shared. Dope Vid!
I think this project was what you needed bro, this is always a good way to learn something new. Keep up the good work.
Dude your skin-tones always look so! GOOD! Like damn! I also shoot with the a7iii and (mostly) in HLG butt I always struggle with getting the skin to look just right. Like I can get it looking ok butt not. even. close to yours 😱
Got a video shoot I’m DP’ing for on Sunday! Almost all of my tricks and techniques come from your vids keep them coming!
I'm just like you on the set...a one man show and I can do it all from lighting to sound, and I usually have to do it all even if I have my apprentices help.
Another dope video! 💪🏾💪🏾 As far as the church scene, couldn’t you use a CTO gel on your 120d to match the tungsten lights in the church ⛪️? That way all of your lights will match without get two different tones. Keep up the great work! 👍🏽
yep. being a DP is not a fun job if you have a lot of ideas and things you want. but if you are into following instructions and all than DP is good for you. I also believe that being DP does not only do the camera works. but also set up the lights beautifully that the director needs. which insanely hard.
The cinematography was so well done that I forgot it was even a music video
Been a fan since the end of 2016. You have been an inspiration to my career, it’s great to see you grow bro. If you, C-Ryan and Tino come out to houston y’all should do a meet up, I’m there for sure!
Great breakdown YC... been vibing with your channel for while. Be well and stay encouraged!!!
I learn so much from you and your channel... No bull you are like my teacher!!!
Big inspo right here! Looking forward to put your tips&tricks into practice on my first music video shoot in some weeks time 🤙🏻
New music video is fire! love the concept 👏🏻🤙🏼
Saw the video. Your hand held control is way on point
Sammy here from East Africa, Uganda to be specific !! Love your Work Bro !! I Have Learnt quite a lot from you !! God bless !!
One of the few film makers on youtube i return to for new content. Peter mckinon or whatever his name is cannot compare
Great breakdown!
Started watching your videos thanks for the vibes and info......doing my own thing......having my own label is a plus
Hey man! Great stuff! I know how it feels to have to take direction from someone else even though you know a better way to shoot it. Shows great maturity and makes people want to work with you more. Question: I'm in a position where I'm not sure if I should go full freelance, or keep my full-time job. What are things you think I should consider while making this decision?
Great Video sir! Loved seeing and hearing about the process. 14:55 You start speaking the Gospel! Please make this section of the video an IGTV post so I can share to out! Maybe the ones that look up to me will believe it when they hear the OG say it! the camera does not make us creative, our passion for the art and the game does! Thank you, Salute King!
super clean work! I actually liked the composition you had with the tripod shots it looked really good, but I understand what you mean as far as camera movement to flow better with whats going on in the scene. I DP'd on a project similar to what you did so I can DEFF relate lol
I want give out a shout out here from the South of Brazil! I have been working with audio for some time and now im starting to get in to video, my dog destroyed my last camera so I have been trying to be creative. I have been and been enjoying your tips!
Killed it bro love seeing your breakdowns and then checking out the full video. Being a Music Video director myself, I feel inspired to do more video breakdowns as I believe it helps people appreciate all the hard work that goes into production. Stoked to go out and shoot
Thanks for sharing, I didn’t go to film school but watching you over the years has helped me improve
I'm a photographer who's starting to dwelve into video - your vids help a lot!
1 minute in the video and I’m noticing that that music video was suggested to me on CZcams 😬 pretty cool!!
As usual, thanks YC for a great bts and talkthru. Stay blessed brother! Oh when is the wedding??😁
"It's not a camera on the market that will make you creative."
100%. I'm the proof of this, which is why I'm spending so much time learning about the process from channels like this one, despite having a Pocket 4k, gimbal, couple of mics, etc.
It's like saying good paint and brushes makes you a good artist. Obviously good artists want good tools, but...
I thought that you did an amazing job as the DP in this video. I like the way the director told the story in the video. Also, I thought his choices of when to use a tripod for a still shot or a handheld/gimbal moving shot worked for the story. Not every shot has to be a moving shot to be interesting. Def really liked this music video.
Your videos are super dope.....I have a huge catalogue of music I kan’t wait to shoot an get out there, thanks for all the help👌🏾💪🏾
What's up man. Definitely loved the scene breakdowns in this video along with the great BTS B-Roll. It really helps me learn A LOT as an up and coming videographer myself all the way from CHICAGO!!! I also agree that you should drop the video about where to start as a freelance film maker even though I already started, I think it'll be a great video where you'll give great advice!!! Keep up the great work bro and stay humble and honest as you have been! (Hopefully this comment isn't too long for the opportunity for a shoutout lol)
Thanks you for the breakdown of how you shot it! Learned a lot! 👊🏻
That 1.4 had to be a big help in that church, huh? Fascinating work
Just loved this. Helpful and honest. Thank you
New Director Tee's? YES PLEASE
I had my first experience as a dp and man, it was stressful cuz I had a lot to say in terms of ideas but couldn't. "Director's choice" lol anyways. Nice video. I will still be doing dp for the experience too.
I've been here before lol
@@DirectorIllyRock lol, it's frustrating
Let me get a shoutout YC, been watching your videos for a grip now and you've definitely helped inspire my work 🎉
Super stoked when I saw that YC CZcams video notification 😃😃,love your work ,it's inspired me to do music videos ..thank you keep it up
dope video as always! I really struggle with working with a bigger team and just being the DP because it feels like loosing controll to me. But I´m sure I could get used to it over time.
I’m a new sub...I don’t even shoot video but your videos are so clear and interesting that I am literally binging them
You are a huge inspiration. Who do you turn to for motivation?
Always dropping knowledge🙌🏽
Definitely subscribed! I’m still learning how to use light properly for my music videos
Your contents are so helpful for me and I learn so much on being creative. Dope contents by the way keep creating great contents.
When u said cine breakdown I got so happy man
