Glad to hear it! I just uploaded a new video.
thats great man. all the best! youre inspiring me.
Thank you
Very very valuable.. Keep making more videos..Thankyou
Absolutely 💯
I have the sigma 24-70 & It works great for handheld shots. However, on a gimbal or rig I am breaking my back because it's so heavy. I have a 50mm 1.8 that I use everyday but I need a prime wide lens. This was a w & helped, thank you bro.
Thank you for this information. it really helps me a lot. I'm just starting out and I don't know anything about cameras and lenses, but I'm glad I found this CZcams channel.
The 50 and t2i was my start off kit ! And man the 50-55 area is jus irreplaceable lol foreal 😤🤣
Man a classic 👌
Thank you very much.. your videos are always on point 💜
Crack, a lack on the track what’s Bro when you coming to Southern California when you come I got dinner if you get the iPhone 14 and you cinematic mode, you can get that nice blurry background
Nice to hear man.
This the channel I go to for tips and tricks and ideas. Just something about your personality . Keep it up!
Just the video I been looking for!! Right on homie 💯🙏🏾 🐐
Let's go! Thanks man. What other topics or questions do you have that I can cover in my next few videos?
I love your content bro. I shoot with the 55 and batis 25 on my Sony. But the new Sony 24-70 gmii is dope. Much sharper than the first version. It's $2400 but definitely worth it if you need to go with one lens.
My BTS guy Malik is interested in that 24-70. Heard it's great
Man that 50mm 1.8 is still my go to! LoL! After 10 years of having it.
Nifty 50 for sure!
Loved this video!!
Thank you. What other questions do you have I can answer in the next video?
@@CrackaLackTV question have is
1. how do you film your first music video, what tools, tripod, lenses should I have with me before leaving the house?
2. How do I get myself out there and be known when I start off as a beginner music video, getting people to trust my work ( especially as a female ).
3. How do you get the warm look on the camera not sure if I explained this right but I seen a video of a guy that has a really cool effect on the entire video, I’ll send the link in the next comment.
Super helpful! I'm fairly new to videography and I've been using the Tamron 28-75 for music videos and concert shoots and wondering why some of my shots feel too close/cropped, and this cleared it up for me. The shot of the artist in the car from the passenger's seat - too funny I had the exact same issue and ended up not able to use most of that footage. Thanks much for the info!
As someone who’s been away from this field for some years, this vid was a nice refresher. I’m ready to get back shooting. When I was active the canon t7i was the latest big thing I’m sure I’m years behind now lol. Anyone got any new suggestions to shoot music vids?
I love sony cameras. Definitely get something that can do 4k now a days.
Appreciate you keep dropping
Np man. What other topics do you want me to cover?
@@CrackaLackTV How to get the crispiest and sharpest look with vivid colors

Very helpful! Thanks 💯
Congrats for the content! I hope you can help me here please... When you mean 24 mm and 50 mm... you mean 24/50mm full frame lenses or 24/50 mirrorless lenses? Thanks!

Hell yeah bro 📽📽

Thanks brotha
@@CrackaLackTV 🖖

@@CrackaLackTV no problem
Moneyball Hoody 🏁
Amen ✊️
Wow just what I was looking for. When the 1st one came up it's sony so I was hoping you would talk about canon😆
Cool
Thanks bro.
That showed me so MUCH, thank you!! For someone just beginning on a budget, would you recommend anything cheaper? Thank you
Thanks man and happy to hear. So all lenses have like 2 versions. There's a cheaper build version in the lower hundreds of dollars and then the high level versions in the thousands of dollars. Go with the cheaper options and/or buy them used on ebay, amazon, marketplace etc
New sub! Just the channel I was looking for. What camera do u use? I’m upgrading to Sony fx3 soon.
Welcome! Sony a7s iii.
bro i have watched over 50 hours of content on music videos and all the main points i got after spending that much time u explained in 6:11
Thank you bro! I appreciate it
yeah men t2i with the nifty fifty that's was my setup as well back in the day.
What gimbal do you use
Anything cheaper in price that will do a good job?
Prime Lenses..💪
Yeah buddy
I gotta make that switch to Sony Canon been killing me ! 😅
Sony gang
Good video! Just curious, why did you choose Sony?
You can do the aperture with iPhone cinematic mode easy
Sweet
Is 11mm 1.8 any good for music videos? Would you use that as a wide lens and just get the 55mm? Or just get the 35mm for one lense all?
35! You will be glad you did
Where is the 50mm lens link?
masteringmusicvideos.com/gear
Then search 50mm
That's so helpful! Thank you!!
Great video! I want to get into shooting videos. I want to shoot a sports mixtape video, what camera would you recommend?
I love mine. Sony a7s iii. Budget determines the recommendation.
Hey guys, I have a Sony a7iv. I need a wide angle lens with a low f stop. Preferably between 1.4-1.8 and suggestions without breaking the bank?
So, I have a GH5 with metabones speedbooster the x0.71 one with a sigma art 18 to 35mm and I have a nifty fifty. So would it still be worth getting one of these or just using these altering?
You're golden with what you got right now.
@@CrackaLackTV thank you !
Damn bro don't get enough credit 😢😮 oh I'm just lost in tha sauce this is what's up now I know 😂❤😢
Happy to help
@@CrackaLackTV how so
@@CrackaLackTV thank u
If I was to purchase the g master 24-70mm 2.8 would I be able to capture all these points with that one lens?
Yes but you'd be using a zoom lens instead of multiple prime lenses. As you see, I'm a fan of prime lenses only. Zoom are good but I think prime are great. Both are good either way.
Crack what are some good cameras to do music videos I have the rebel t7 and looking to upgrade
I love my sony a7s iii
quick question bro, whats that edit called at 3:40 when you zoom out of that "underbelly" thing?
Dolly zoom
I'll drop a tutorial next week
@@CrackaLackTV thank you bro I appreciate you. New Videographer here trying to soak up as much as possible
I’ve been using the sigma 18-35 1.8 for the last 3 years .. I don’t know what to get Next .. I’m leaning towards the 50 1.4
Yeah I really recommend that 50.
I m using sony zv10 can i get this lenses?
I just started making music videos and I dont know what lenses to get for my Sony a7s3. Would a 24mm and a 35mm prime be enough to shoot music videos or would I need to get a 50mm too?
Same here. Did you find out what’s best for you?
@crackalactv can I use these 2 lenses on a Sony a6100?
lol that girl in my buss it down vid
Is this video sponsored? hard to find recommendations on lenses that are impartial. Huge help though
Nope. What does "lenses that are impartial" mean? Maybe I can help.
what about the sigma 18-35mm if i had to get only one lens ?
I agree. Best 1 lens zoom. I recommend the 35mm for 1 lens prime.
Yo bro, what do you think is the best aperture for music video
Most the time I show with it low like 1.8-2.8
@@CrackaLackTV I appreciate you bro keep doing your thang
Would you say that the Sigma 24-70mm lens is good for music video ?
Yes
2nd lens fit on a Sony camera ?
Yeah I use a Sony.
what do you think of the 35 and 85?
Solid
Joe Green in the video.
For sure
What camera do you use now
Sony A7S III
👌🏼💎💎💎
What camera do you use with these lens
I shoot with a Sony a7s iii
What if the lens is a 55m 2.8? Will it still be good for close ups?
Yeah that's good.
how mush are those lens
Links in description.
What EDITING software do you use???😭❤️🔥
Vegas Pro
Will this lens work for a Sony zv e 10 ?
Does that camera let you change lenses? If so, yes
@@CrackaLackTV thanks
Easy subscribe
would you suggest I get a 35mm for an inbetween?
No.
If you're only going to have 1 lens, yes. But if you have a 16 or 24 and a 50 or 85, I think 35 isn't needed
I gave a 55mm (canon zoom lens) . But now I'm looking to get a proper art lens for my music video. And I'm kinda in two. Do I get an inbetween art lens or do I just get a 24mm art lens and use the older canon lens
Im a artist and do my own music videos, so I dont do a lot of clients atm🙈 but I want my videos to look professional
Helping produce my 1st music video getting lenses together we have cannon 7d what LENSES would you recommend 1location multiple angles one artist one main action shot?
The only thing I agree with you on is PRIME. I can't for the life of me a good enough zoom :(. 24 mm and 50mm is very low range in between no wonder I find myself dozing in music videos. I think that is the basic standard for all music videos or 35 to 50.
yuhh. my dawg spreadin his knowledge
mine is just spreadin shit...
@danielscheffler that’s hilarious lol 😂
