    Oh just a small kit… you know the Lomos on an A35, just a nice $130k camera package. Love you still Potts

      thought the same thing. its all about perspective i guess.

    • @romeolopezaldana2099
      @romeolopezaldana2099 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Same thoughts haha where I live, a cámera like that is used only for big budget feature films or the biggest comercials. Nothing else, it's impossible to rent for lower stuff than that since there's only like 2 of them.

    • @challengedollar2880
      @challengedollar2880 Před 6 měsíci +2

      yeah thats what i was wondering when he said "low budget"

    • @cubul32

    • @TheJairoObando
      @TheJairoObando Před 4 měsíci +1

      He's saying low budget in the sense agency isn't forking out a ton on rentals, most of the camera dpt gear is his. If you've watched him for any length of time you know he owns some Illuminas and the 35 so yeah he's making $$ on his day rate and kit but agency is saving money hiring him with all of it.

    • @whatsonmytable
      @whatsonmytable Před 8 měsíci +2

      Can't summarize this better....I love his videos too and what's funny is that he speak fairly slow but the videos pack such a pinch in less than 10 mins

    "small shoot". I brought my alexa 35....

    Lovely lighting on the guy!
    Cool trick with the 'fake zoom', seen it done before but not on a real project.
    Keep these coming please

  • @julienpierb
    @julienpierb Před 8 měsíci +18

    Your "small" budget ad look a lot bigger than the "big" budget ads I get to work on hahaha. It's cool, it give room to dream! And, in the end, the techniques are the same where we get to shoot on an Arri 35 with anamorphic in a desert across the country or on an URSA with spherical in a field next to our home.
    Great video as always!

    such a good inspiring video. doesn't need to be some 40 minute long essay about how these 5 tips will change your videography, but got more from this than plenty of over-the-top videos like that. gave some awesome pointers, thank you for what you make lewis!

  • @OhanaFilms
    @OhanaFilms Před 8 měsíci +1

    The fake zoom ends up looking even better! Like you said, it fits the tone really nicely. It adds a subtle odd quality but you don't really notice why.

  • @charlieross-BRM
    @charlieross-BRM Před 5 měsíci

    In Canada I have to think hard about what I call things since we interchange American, Canadian, and in my case, British slang terms all day. Our garden fences are 20 meters long and 5 feet high and that makes total sense to everyone. We buy gas in litres and get X miles per gallon. Again, totally comprehensible.
    One time I hitched a ride to my home in Toronto and the driver got around to asking me where I was from. Minutes later he's calling me out as to where I'm really from because he heard me call his car's windshield a "windscreen."
    Presently I think of "thong" as the slingshot shaped undergarment; "thongs" might be that or the footwear; flip flops are footwear.
    My video take aways: Umbrellas and lazy suzan bearings. +1.

    Honestly loved this. Great piece of work & really enjoyed the breakdown of how you got the shots and put it all together in post. But am I the only one here that thinks a 60k Arri Camera and all the lighting you could ever want is anything but "low budget & minimal tools".. haha
