[blackcountryenjoy]

awesome info

[fxworld]

what camera did you use to shoot this?

[esotericsean]

Back then we were still using a Panasonic DVX100a. Now, we shoot with a Sony PMW-EX1. Next year, we'll be upgrading to a RED Scarlet! :)

Poor Sean! Please don't act emo! XD

No, no I was joking! You guys are so helpful and cool when it comes down to teaching about filming! :)Thank you so much for uploading this!

hang on, dutch angle comes from deutsch as they used the angle several times in early german films.

german= deutsch which sounds like the english word dutch.

hence the name.

im actually dutch myself, how veerd?

[lebell79]

i like this video i just subscribed, keep em coming.

[esotericsean]

Thanks very much! We'll have some new episodes pretty soon :)

[Gadgetglanman7]

But you got to admit that, that Dutch shot angle is good for sinking ship scenes like the Engine Room/Electic Breaker Room scene from Titanic! :)

The music at the beginning?.. anyone know the artist or name of the song?

[DanLoto]

Amusing and educational.

[mariquiat]

Excuse me guys,, just want to contradict about one of ur angles, specifically the low and high angle shots... Well, a movie cinematographer would say that the first angle should be the high angle shot... (High angle shot occurs when the camera is below the subject and the lens is basically focusing 45 deg to 90 degrees... the same for low angle shot, it is when the shot is above the subject.. please research more guys!!!!

[esotericsean]

Yep, what you're saying is correct. Maybe you misinterpreted us, but that's exactly what we said in the video.

[bigdmia]

Thanks for the input and making it entertaining.

The Dutch (Deutsch) angle, this video kind of reminded me of the Travolta-Jackson dialogue in Pulp Fiction's 'Royale with Cheese' scene.

Thanks.

[esotericsean]

Hehe, that scene is great.

[dombower]

again you guys are great, your info is superb and well delivered, and so easy and fun to watch. the dutch angle is one i had not thought of before and may use in a video where a person is disorientated and confused. (good idea?)

[esotericsean]

Thanks, and yeah that's a great idea :)

[skateAR6]

Interesting! I have another one that people get mixed up Australia and Austria

[tomp45]

Dutch angle hmm funny.

[geekyvince]

the dutch angel is called that because its at the a similar angle as windmills in the Netherlands hence the dutch angle.

[esotericsean]

Hmm, I'll have to ask Peter about that. That sounds kinda interesting. Thanks for the info!

[pilamin]

That's probable, but it still doesn't sound quite right, as it was popularized out of German expressionism, and thus has little to do with Dutch culture.

...But ah ha! Probing even further, one source says that the word "Dutch" itself is used to describe things that are 'odd.' This originated in 17th century England, when a "not quite right" Dutch royal was placed on the throne. This seems to be the most universal explanation.

Who really knows for sure.
