      Schools are useless... Never learnt anything there. Apart from reading and the bases of maths. Filmschool, same stuff. True Stroy: When my colleagues and I entered filmschool our first homeworks were shooting simple conversations. Now guess what. They were much better at the beginning than when we finished school. At the end our Shortfilms sucked big time. Why? Simple... Creativity is strongest whit lack of knowledge.

    I love tutorials for things that are seemingly obvious, and many of us already do instinctively, but when broken down provide us with a much greater sense of control and purpose of our editing workflows. Really helps me jump over that especially tricky bar that distinguishes the good from the great.

    • @JamieFenn
      @JamieFenn Pƙed 7 lety +2

      Brandon Li Question: to achieve the look when you slowly keyframe the shot to zoom in or out, how far can you push it when shooting only in 1080? (% wise in FCPX)

    • @BrandonLiUnscripted
      @BrandonLiUnscripted  Pƙed 7 lety +7

      about 20% in a brief shot. The longer the shot, the more the audience will notice a lower quality image

    • @JamieFenn
      @JamieFenn Pƙed 7 lety +2

      Brandon Li ah ok. So that's where the 4K comes in handy.

  • @markarch3137
    @markarch3137 Pƙed 7 lety +5

    You are by far the most enjoyable to watch and learn from. Your explanations really make me want to THINK about what I am doing rather than making everything up while editing. Your explanations overlaid on actual footage and examples is so easily understood. I can't wait for more from you. You're probably so busy creating content that you don't read the comments but I felt compelled to send one anyway. Keep up the awesome work.

    • @SpeedStrengthJames
      @SpeedStrengthJames Pƙed 5 lety

      @@amityfilmmaking Correct, but to get around this is to shoot in a resolution above what is needed. So you may shoot in 4k if you want to digital zoom and the final render is in 1080p as an example.

    There is something awesome about the mystery of your work. It distinguishes you from all other CZcamsrs. As one creative to another, start an online film school and offer your tips, advice, and classes there because something of this value should cost a price! (I would sign up)

      Yes and no. It gives the effect of a dolly zoom but he is talking about using your editing software to zoom in by increasing the scale between two keyframes.
