DSLR Video - Intermediate - Film Look on the DSLR

The first of a two part tutorial. Part I takes a behind the scenes look at our short video "Cemetario". In this tutorial I cover most of the main camera settings and try to give an inside look into the reasoning behind certain settings.

The tutorial is capped off with a shotby shot breakdown of "Cemetario" complete with all of the settings for each shot Overlayed on the screen.

Part II of the tutorial "How to Edit T2i Footage to get the Film Look" will be out on Thursday.

[kelebew]

did you add sharpness in post?

[Neumannfilms]

@kelebew I honestly don't remember.  I don't think so though.

[vladimirtalijan]

The first rule for film look is 180 rule, and that's 1/50 shutter speed at all times .1/200 is a no-no.

[Neumannfilms]

@vladimirtalijan Film is an art and there are no rules in art. No limitations. There are methods and techniques. Knowing them and what they do and why people do them is key. The first key to unique Cinematography is thinking and PRACTICING outside of the box. Trying new things. If no one ever did we wouldn't have the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan. Do I shoot at 1/48th the majority of the time? Yes. Do I have any problem going up when I want a scene to be intense? No.

[vladimirtalijan]

@Neumannfilms Off course, but you are trying here to teach beginners how to make a film look, and you have to say "the rule is 180, but I am doing this 1/200 because of....". Vast majority of movies are using that rule, and in this tutorial you're talking like 1/200 is a normal thing. No, it's not, faster shutter speeds are used in action and fast paced scenes, and they are just making oposite of film look. You should be using 1/50 and ND filters for this one.

[Neumannfilms]

@vladimirtalijan Well, I did a Shutter Speed specific tutorial where I talked about this a lot more. I believe in this one I made it clear that "this is just how I like to do it".

[Neumannfilms]

@J4zzyG Everything you need to know about camera settings and buttons is in the manual.

[ant1mag3]

sir what memory card did you use every shooting you do? please answer asap

[DesignerLukeFX]

Is it me or is this Andrew Kramers brother?

[M4GICSL3IGHTZ]

What exactly do you mean by a flat pic style... They only have preset pic styles

[vladimirtalijan]

@stavafilm Same here, 1/125 is a maximum I use in 98% of filming.

[stavafilm]

@vladimirtalijan My rule is not higher than 1/125

[ZeDBeE85]

@Neumannfilms so so true.... but in terms of shutter speed, what type of scene or setting would it be appropriate to increase the speed? I know when having 24fps they say one must would the shutter speed to 1/50. what abt for fast moving objects on a road or something, do i increase the shutter speed for those kinda actions. also for like fight scenes whats the best shutter speed to use?

[BODALLY]

Very cool cant wait for the next video cheers
