Great tutorials, I watched most of em many times. I appreciate the uploads.
I am writing horror and I intend to start shooting soon. do you have any tutorials on how to create moody shadows for horror and suspense movies? Like Fewdio Bedfellows (youtube)
Along with the immense focus on technical creativity that goes along with these kinds of tutorial videos, I would like to see directors focus on more subtle aspects of creating a scene like:
*How to direct your actors for creating realism
*Spontaneous methods of directing to do with lighting, camera angles, etc...
*Set design
Basically, the area around the camera should be believable as possible.
Thanks for the tip! but I heard the 7D has a bad motion-blur when you move the camera around with quick movements, but if you can stabilize the shot it looks beautiful..
A few questions: For the restaurant scene, did you reposition the lights after you got your wide shot, when you came in for coverage between the two main actors? Also, for this particular scene, what made you instinctively go for the 36''x36'' 500 watt softbox for your keylight (which turned out great), and not any other light such as a diva kinoflo, or any other light with diffusion? Do you have specific tried and true "go to" lights, when shooting particular settings?
Great tutorial...but what I'd like ti know is -- are you only using one camera the whole time or two? Because i would imagine with only one camera it must be difficult to get reaction shots and or tight shots without having to reposition the actors over and over again.
I imagine it must be very time consuming working with only one camera?
I enjoyed the clip though , was very entertaining from a msn's pov in coordinating a romantic date...
i have one silly question that is how many cameras are used in movies to record a normal conversation scenes like these two girls in the begining the camera views change as the other one talks,like when moving from one person to the other?
@mrbinibone most of the time it's fillmed with only 1 camera. you do a take from one angle. then u move the camera to another angle and have the actors repeat their lines, then u do it again and again untill u have all ure angles shot
@mrbinibone its actually common that you essentially record it from three takes and don't keep moving the camera. So for an instance you place the camera towards one girl and you play out the whole convo, then move it to the other side then you have them do the conversation again from that angle. then you take a medium shot and repeat the conversation again. Obviously shot variety is nice though so some ots some close up shots. Then editing is where the magic happens :)
@mrbinibone Like Polcan99 said... you can do it with a single camera, but there are several options, all depending on who and what you work with. You should read The Five Cs of Cinematography. It will reveal all the answers to your questions.
you said that there was stuff that you didn't like about the 7D, such as? I currently own a consumer cam and want to upgrade to a higher level camera. Any thoughts? I've had people recommend the 60D as well.
@TheAwesomeJassim I dont like the Rolling shutter, the moire problems, horrible audio... no pro audio connections or monitoring, no dedicated video out, no ability to plug it into AC outlet, you have to run it off batteries the whole time. But those are the same problems that all DSLR cameras have. Otherwise they're great!
@polcan99 thanks for that feedback! I wasn't expecting so much :). So one could say that this is more considered a semi pro cam. Mainly due to the fact that you've got high image quality but all the other accessories (audio, monitoring etc) are sorely lacking...You ever use the Zoom H4N for those shoots? Or anyone that you think would be better?
@polcan99 T2i owner here, thought I would drop a tip or two. You an buy ac adapters for all eos cameras, they plug into the battery section. Also, you can use the HDMI out for video monitoring. Prices for a HDMI camera mountable monitor range from $200 (not very good) to almost $2,000, just depends on what you want/need/have. As for Awesome Jassmin, what do you want to use the camera for? The truth is, DSLR video is not for everyone/everything, it can be a pain to work with sometimes.
i really like the whole project...and the fact that it was shot on a non-full format camera and still looks very beautiful. the scene in the park where the two female characters talk about the last night is also nice....how did you light that scene? did you have a lamp? a reflector? or was it just pure available light?
@Stylothek That was done with availabe light but I had to make sure I found the right place and position so it looked good... more info on that scene and lots more on my Dinner Date DVD. Check out the link on the top of my youtube channel page
Video contest got extended.. my lead and stand-alone concept has disappeared. Please vote/LIKE my video. I will return the favor when called upon. Thank you!!
you used 7D DSLR from canon. i mean how did you shoot those different views? do you have several 7Ds? :D coz there were parts here where it will transition from far shot to close up shots.
@arjay2002ph It was all shot with one camera by having the actors re do their actions so I could film them from different angles. Also each time I had to change the lights so it looked good in the different angles. That's why filmmaking takes so much time. A lot of repetative work
@Leucotrain Sound has nothing to do with the camera. In films sound is recorded seperately by a microphone that is hidden close to the actors and records the audio seperately during each take and angle onto an audio recorder.

hello sir ! need an advice.. do these DSLR camera for movies get heated up when recording lengthy videos ? and which lense would support to get the film look ?
im an amature and want to make film look movies..thanks !
@twelvestreets I agree, this 'look' is becoming so common too, I can't watch anything like this anymore without it screaming 'I AM A LOW BUDGET FILM SHOT ON DSLR'. Sure it has a certain sheen, but it can feel really unnatural quite easily I think. At this point I'd rather it look shittier but different, instead of like this
@skinandbonemusic I see where you're coming from but I think its all in the direction.. in my opinion, regardless of what ANYTHING is shot on, if the direction, composition, D.O.P, is not fresh & original it will be junk.. I've seen crap films done on high budget + film cameras and Ive seen amazing work done on a cell phone camera... The camera is just the paint brush to me. DSLR's are inexpensive, decent quality paint brushes, but its up to the "artist" to paint a beautiful picture.
I have a quick question about your lighting ... what filter do you use for nighttime 'moonlight'? I bought some blue filters, but they look too 'blue' and don't have that more realistic 'pale white' as I've seen on some other videos. Is it a special light or just a special gel you put in front of the light? Thanks.
@sonne5 The filter is a standart CTB (Color Temp Blue). But u can make it real saturated and blue or very washed out and white if you simply adjust the white balance in your camera accordingly. Its a foil like gel u put over ure lights. But its made for films so it can withstand high temperatures of film lights.
made a short movie for school (2min) and I need to get as much views as possible, the more views the higher the grade and if you have any constructive critisism on how I can improve please do click my name to check it out
Extremely informative! Jesus, this looks like film to my eyes, especially the outside scene. This goes to show you, it's not about what you have, it's about what you do with it.
Nice work! I appreciate your use of practices as well as your creativity in coming up with cheaper options for lighting scenes. There are a lot of snoody people in film production that will say you can't do this or that, but I say if it looks good, it works.
@jimmivalentine Thank! To be honest, I never used that camera/adapter combo so I can't recommend it. But I've seen some great work done with this camera... so I guess it's possible. Still I dont want to recomment it myself as I don't know if there are any big issues with that camera. Wish I could be more helpful.
@polcan99 Thank u very much sir.... Actually i m going to shoot a feature film for theater release with HD camera. I hv checked many reviews and i was on a conclusion that HV30 gives stunning results when used with "Handy35" (handyfilmtools[dot]com). You are senior and more knowledgeable than me. What would you recommend for it?
@jimmivalentine Sorry but I never used the HV30 myself or the Handy35, so I can't recommend it. I've seen some other people produce great results with it, so i'm sure it's capable of pro results.... Still, I myself don't know of any issues this equipment might have so I'd rather not advise you on it.
@BenHughesStudios Thank u very much sir.... Actually i m going to shoot a feature film for theater release with HD camera. I hv checked many reviews and i was on a conclusion that HV30 gives stunning results when used with "Handy35" (handyfilmtools[dot]com). You are senior and more knowledgeable than me. What would you recommend for it?
Well If you're going to shoot with a video camera. I wouldn't use a 35mm adapter.
They degrade the image quality so much, and you loose so much light. The hv30's low light already sucks without an adapter. you don't want to make it worse.
HDSLRs are perfect for creating filmic video without 35mm adapters. Look at their footage.
@BenHughesStudios Thnks for ur kind support. This will really help me to choose right camera for my Movie shoot. Now, i m confused between Canon 7D & 60D. Which will help me more to fulfill my needs to shoot a great movie ?
@alexzracer2008 I used one camera... that way its easier to light, but you have to re-do it again for the reverse angle of the other actor. Doing it with two cameras is more complicated to light but easier for the actors, as they dont have to re-do exactly what they did in both seperate takes.
@polcan99 Thanks. So if it wasn't for the lighting you would've used two cameras correct? Like wouldn't the acting be a little more natural. And it would take less time.
Fantastic work! Great lighting tutorial. I wonder if you could take a quick moment however to list a few of the negatives you mentioned with the 7d. Thanks.
@Rebelmonkpictures Bad things about the 7D are: the highly compressed codec it records to. The rolling shutter is bad n very visable in fast moving shots. doesnt allow dedicated video out for monitoring. doesnt have a viewfinder for video recording. limited frame rates. no ac power connection, only uses batteries. no XLR microphone input and horrible audio recording on the camera.
Do you have any tips on finding locations to shoot.. Your shooting at a restauraunt here(unless that's actually a set) Did you have to get insurance. Was this filmed on a day the restaurant was closed.?
incredible video. Very well executed. Just one thing: In the restaurant scene I was constantly distracted by that extremely cute girl on the far left. I had to rewind severel times to even listen to what you're saying :D
Hi great work! Thanks for sharing. For the light on camera right by the woman with the white shirt/black hair...could you give more details? I see it is also illuminating the main actress' hair. It seems to be a very large soft box from a distance gel'd blue? My challenge has been to create this sort of light as you do on the main actress and on the main actor (reverse angle) but find it difficult without washing out other elements. Thanks!
I just watched a very low-budget movie that came out earlier this year, Order of Chaos. It's on Netflix. It's well done--well acted, pretty well written and directed. Yet something about it screams low budget. I think it's the lighting, exactly what you're talking about in these tutorials. It's interesting to me, that for a young director, lighting is probably the last thing they spend a lot of time thinking about, and yet it might be the single most important thing to make your film look pro.
Ah, you do do narrative film after all! I would love to hear more about how the story influences your decisions. You said a little bit about it here, like the alley looks more urban, two guys are more scary than one. And the restaurant was meant to be romantic. It seems like especially in this film lighting could have a huge effect on the story--from her point of view the restaurant is all romantic, then when he tells the same story it's a scuzzy little hole in the wall, harshly lit, etc.
hey i really liked the video n was just wonderin in d close up of d guy in restaurant u did the high light from right but wat degree u used n did u used any filler light also or only d high light thanx
@shivankar1987 The light was at around 6feet off the ground pointed straight at the actor's face, and with a medium bank on it to soften the light. (Softbox). No fill light used in this example just a straight key light and one back light to create that blue rim on him.
hey thanx for uploadind such videos its really nice i was just wondering in the restaurant the close up of the guy u hav used highlight from the right but hav u also used a fill light or is it only done with highlight n wat degree it is .... thanx
@ccskater3 No color correction on that shot... but I used a custom preset that I build for that scene on the Canon 7D. Sorry but I don't remeber the soft box I used :(
In the scene where the two girls are talking to each other, I like the depth of field. Can you tell me what lens was used and at which Fstop you decided on? Looks great and I am planning on getting the 7D myself. This is very exciting. One more question, what did you use to record your sound with and did you use a boom? Good work and very helpful tutorials.
how many videos can this camera last?, I mean, considering DSLRs have a specific "life" (about 500,000 photos or something, right?) I wonder if recording videos with this camera shortens it's life...
Was there any additional light source used for the shot where the couple is walking with the city skyline in the background? It looks like they may just be under a sodium vapor street lamp but I wasn't sure if you intentionally motivated that?
Hey I love your videos, I have a Canon 7D and I want to know what are the best settings to use to get the cinematic look when you're shooting in Manuel, Example: Saturation, 24p, highlights, contrast,so on and so on
@TheKingpelu Shoot flat (superflat is best) then color correct in post. You will be amazed at what shooting in superflat will allow you to do in post color corection. You can download "superflat" as a preset for the Canon 7D or T2i. Just google it and you will find it. I can't wait to get my 7D!!!
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
Thanks for the great details, I have a 5d Mark II and getting a 7d as a back up but wonder if the 5D or the 7d is better if you have to choose. I have heard different stories. And any problem editing the 24f in final cut pro? Thanks.
@VancouverWedding I wouldn't say one is better or the other... they're different so its a good idea to have both. Canon 5D has a bigger sensor so it's better if you want to get a nice wide angle shot with your wide lens, but the 7D as more frame rate options, etc. Just different. If you can get both its best!
great tutorial thanks! Could you give me a rough idea of the lighting for the two girls talking outside. Is that just natural lighting or are you using reflectors / lights.
The scene outside is shot with natural light, but I picked a place that has a lot of daylight spilling where the girls are standing and little light falling on the background. This way the girls stand out. Also, it's not shot in one place. For each angle we moved the girls and the camera around till the light looked it's best... specialy since I knew the viewers don't have any distinctive point of referance, so it's not easy to spot that we're actualy in a different place for each shot.
@polcan99 awesome, thanks! It's great getting tutorials from someone who actually has an eye for detail and doesn't just repeat stuff out of the film school text books!
Its not a full frame SLR or still photo camera... but it is nearly the exact same size sensor as a 35mm motion picture film... big difference since still photo 35mm film runs sideways and is therfore bigger than 35mm motion picture film that runs vertical, resulting in a smaller image capture area... about the same as the 7D, with a slight difference in aspect ratio.
Dinner Date. Will be released later on this year after it's done the film festival run... I might even put up the whole film up on my youtube channel :)
Awesome stuff! The best I 've seen on youtube so far! So many videos about close-up's and long shots, but nothing on how to angle and set up a shot to make it look good. Thank you for this. And I love the Toronto skyline in the background! I had a feeling you we're a fellow Canadian :D
great series man! bravo for this initiative and also for the work that you do! I have one question for you: how did you avoid the moire problem that i expected to see on the character's shirt in the restaurant scene and in general?
Tom I wanna say - I am ur great fan now.After watching all ur tute I can't believe how good you are.. As a beginner I always get told I need that camera or this camera or that equipment -bla bla bla. Which sometimes makes any beginner very frustrated? But you have shown how this can be achieved without all this expensive equipment.. I am so happy now and motivated after seeing your work.Please keep posting.
In future I am wondering if you would be able to show some post production tute.
@yesturtle you are so right lol! that's exactly why I will not shell a 10k on an equipment for now.I will get myself one of the 7D and a few lighting panels and stuff but that's about it.
really great tutorials, you realy seem to know what you're doing (unlike most textbookstyle tuts on youtube). but would'nt you be more interested in the canon 5D mark II, since this DSLR has an actual 35mm sensor? I know that the 7D has better features, but to me the 5D produces an image that just feels like film right out of the box. cheers!
I like that your sharing your knowledge with the people...thanks

@sonne5 The filter is a standart CTB (Color Temp Blue). But u can make it real saturated and blue or very washed out and white if you simply adjust the white balance in your camera accordingly. Its a foil like gel u put over ure lights. But its made for films so it can withstand high temperatures of film lights.

Extremely informative! Jesus, this looks like film to my eyes, especially the outside scene. This goes to show you, it's not about what you have, it's about what you do with it.

Nice work! I appreciate your use of practices as well as your creativity in coming up with cheaper options for lighting scenes. There are a lot of snoody people in film production that will say you can't do this or that, but I say if it looks good, it works.

Dude you are amazing. I learnt many things from your videos. Thanks for it. I have a question.
Would you recommend Canon HV30 with Handy35 (35mm Adapter) for a movie shoot.
jimmivalentine 1 year ago
@jimmivalentine Thank! To be honest, I never used that camera/adapter combo so I can't recommend it. But I've seen some great work done with this camera... so I guess it's possible. Still I dont want to recomment it myself as I don't know if there are any big issues with that camera. Wish I could be more helpful.
polcan99 1 year ago
@polcan99 Thank u very much sir.... Actually i m going to shoot a feature film for theater release with HD camera. I hv checked many reviews and i was on a conclusion that HV30 gives stunning results when used with "Handy35" (handyfilmtools[dot]com). You are senior and more knowledgeable than me. What would you recommend for it?
jimmivalentine 1 year ago
@jimmivalentine Sorry but I never used the HV30 myself or the Handy35, so I can't recommend it. I've seen some other people produce great results with it, so i'm sure it's capable of pro results.... Still, I myself don't know of any issues this equipment might have so I'd rather not advise you on it.

Don't get an HV30 with a 35mm adapter. 35mm adapters are outdated and the hv30 doesn't have full manual controls.
Go for the canon 60D, 7d, t2i, or 5d.

@jimmivalentine
Well If you're going to shoot with a video camera. I wouldn't use a 35mm adapter.
They degrade the image quality so much, and you loose so much light. The hv30's low light already sucks without an adapter. you don't want to make it worse.
HDSLRs are perfect for creating filmic video without 35mm adapters. Look at their footage.
I recommend you join the HDSLR community.

@BenHughesStudios Thnks for ur kind support. This will really help me to choose right camera for my Movie shoot. Now, i m confused between Canon 7D & 60D. Which will help me more to fulfill my needs to shoot a great movie ?

@jimmivalentine
the 60D is way better for video. The 7d is better for photography.

Did you use one camera or two cameras which do you recommend?
Did you have the girl actor do her part, and then shoot the guys part? Thanks
alexzracer2008 1 year ago
@alexzracer2008 I used one camera... that way its easier to light, but you have to re-do it again for the reverse angle of the other actor. Doing it with two cameras is more complicated to light but easier for the actors, as they dont have to re-do exactly what they did in both seperate takes.
polcan99 1 year ago
@polcan99 Thanks. So if it wasn't for the lighting you would've used two cameras correct? Like wouldn't the acting be a little more natural. And it would take less time.

Rebelmonkpictures 1 year ago
@Rebelmonkpictures Bad things about the 7D are: the highly compressed codec it records to. The rolling shutter is bad n very visable in fast moving shots. doesnt allow dedicated video out for monitoring. doesnt have a viewfinder for video recording. limited frame rates. no ac power connection, only uses batteries. no XLR microphone input and horrible audio recording on the camera.

Do you have any tips on finding locations to shoot.. Your shooting at a restauraunt here(unless that's actually a set) Did you have to get insurance. Was this filmed on a day the restaurant was closed.?

Hi great work! Thanks for sharing. For the light on camera right by the woman with the white shirt/black hair...could you give more details? I see it is also illuminating the main actress' hair. It seems to be a very large soft box from a distance gel'd blue? My challenge has been to create this sort of light as you do on the main actress and on the main actor (reverse angle) but find it difficult without washing out other elements. Thanks!
freaksarise 1 year ago
I just watched a very low-budget movie that came out earlier this year, Order of Chaos. It's on Netflix. It's well done--well acted, pretty well written and directed. Yet something about it screams low budget. I think it's the lighting, exactly what you're talking about in these tutorials. It's interesting to me, that for a young director, lighting is probably the last thing they spend a lot of time thinking about, and yet it might be the single most important thing to make your film look pro.

greg5566 1 year ago
Ah, you do do narrative film after all! I would love to hear more about how the story influences your decisions. You said a little bit about it here, like the alley looks more urban, two guys are more scary than one. And the restaurant was meant to be romantic. It seems like especially in this film lighting could have a huge effect on the story--from her point of view the restaurant is all romantic, then when he tells the same story it's a scuzzy little hole in the wall, harshly lit, etc.

shivankar1987 1 year ago
@shivankar1987 The light was at around 6feet off the ground pointed straight at the actor's face, and with a medium bank on it to soften the light. (Softbox). No fill light used in this example just a straight key light and one back light to create that blue rim on him.

In the scene where the two girls are talking to each other, I like the depth of field. Can you tell me what lens was used and at which Fstop you decided on? Looks great and I am planning on getting the 7D myself. This is very exciting. One more question, what did you use to record your sound with and did you use a boom? Good work and very helpful tutorials.

VancouverWedding 1 year ago
@VancouverWedding I wouldn't say one is better or the other... they're different so its a good idea to have both. Canon 5D has a bigger sensor so it's better if you want to get a nice wide angle shot with your wide lens, but the 7D as more frame rate options, etc. Just different. If you can get both its best!

great tutorial thanks! Could you give me a rough idea of the lighting for the two girls talking outside. Is that just natural lighting or are you using reflectors / lights.
Thanks again.
jumanous 1 year ago
The scene outside is shot with natural light, but I picked a place that has a lot of daylight spilling where the girls are standing and little light falling on the background. This way the girls stand out. Also, it's not shot in one place. For each angle we moved the girls and the camera around till the light looked it's best... specialy since I knew the viewers don't have any distinctive point of referance, so it's not easy to spot that we're actualy in a different place for each shot.

dillihaat 1 year ago
Its not a full frame SLR or still photo camera... but it is nearly the exact same size sensor as a 35mm motion picture film... big difference since still photo 35mm film runs sideways and is therfore bigger than 35mm motion picture film that runs vertical, resulting in a smaller image capture area... about the same as the 7D, with a slight difference in aspect ratio.

Best advice my teacher gave was to add one light at a time, so you can see the look build up. Also subtract one at a time.
And use the least possible number, because its easy to want to use them all just because you have them.

You can't experiment too much with lighting because the camera compensates for any under or over - exposed areas.

really great tutorials, you realy seem to know what you're doing (unlike most textbookstyle tuts on youtube). but would'nt you be more interested in the canon 5D mark II, since this DSLR has an actual 35mm sensor? I know that the 7D has better features, but to me the 5D produces an image that just feels like film right out of the box. cheers!
