    Stuff we use:
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
    COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
    EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

    As an aspiring director who has no clue on what or how to shoot, this was really informative!

      You'll get there! Keep learning and find a way to start making stuff.

    What I really love about making films is that everything is always dynamic and there's a lot of space to be creative. You can plan ahead, but the project has a life of its own because it's got so many variables that can go wrong, you always have to be on your toes and adjust. Boring it is not!

    This channel is incredibly underrated. So much talent and wisdom comes through on the these videos that you just can’t get anywhere else. Keep it up you guys 👍

    Puzzle pieces. Good analogy. Same applies to being an actor. I have to think about what happened to my character before the current shot and what happens to my character after the current shot.

    I admire this guy's explanation of the creative process, as an aspiring director I find it very calming and reassuring. Would love to work with a cinematographer like him!

    This came at just the perfect time. Starting a new project in a couple of days.

  • @Damageonthestack

    Plan for weeks, have everything rock solid and everyone on the same page, get to the location on the day and see something that creates a spark - a classic car is parked across the street, there's movers lugging furniture next door, or one of the actors shows up on a Harley, and everything changes just like that. It's one of the best parts of filmmaking :-)

    I liked his way of expressing his knowledge. Thanks a lot Film Courage.

    Cinematographers always seem like the most graceful people. The job seems impossibly chaotic but they have a calmness. It seems to me that out of everyone on a set, they have the most technical knowledge of what is actually being done in terms of creating images. Hope they get paid well 😁✌️

    • @ThespianSeries
      @ThespianSeries Před 2 lety +1

      I've worked with several cinematographers for Thespian series and other projects and would tend to agree. The good ones definitely have a "calm during the storm" approach but as a director I try my best to have that same approach. I've also worked with cinematographers who really want to direct and that can be a double edged sword.

    Understanding what a cinematographer does now. Aswell as the mindset one needs to have to do the job efficiently, but without losing the o so important creative, artistic eye! Thanks for the video filmcourage! Keep them coming.

    I like hearing it explain in a way where it’s from experience. Almost like a snapshot into a Working brain. Thanks for this I’m gonna have to rewatch and just take some notes.

    I didn't even know cinetographer's read scripts and I'm going to film school next year to become a film producer plus a Screenwriter as well and didn't even know this. You learn something new everyday. Thank you film

    I can see why he would story board a scene in a car when he doesn't usually story board. Coordinating a series of camera angle changes for conversation inside a car where you switch from driver point of view to passenger point of view. And also if there's somebody in the back seat.
    Car scenes are often used as key scenes to transition the plot to the next step Or as a good way to reveal key differences between character's personalities. Such as Larenz Tate in Menace To Society. Everyone can relate to the feeling of discovering a possible personality conflict after you've gotten into a car with somebody.
    And coordinating the different close ups on reactions and stuff instead of letting the scene play out, which I guess the only way to do that in a car scene is a point of view from the hood, I can see why he would turn to story boarding then.

  • @SIMPLIFIEDFILMING
    @SIMPLIFIEDFILMING Před 2 lety

    Failure to plan as a plan to fail. I like to read the script over and over. And envision the scene rather than imagine. If you imagine the scene then you’ll feel like you’re not honoring the scene once you get on set and it’s not like you imagined. However if you envision it then you’re just creating an end goal in mind which allows the flexibility for change

    Do you guys have a pop filter? His S’s were so piercing throughout this video, I was so interested in what he was saying, but my ears couldn’t take it. Not trying to be a hater or anything. I just thought I should mention it. 👍🏻
