The biggest mistake you're making as a creative...and how to avoid it.
nero! is legit . i resonated with what he said
Hey Juan love the video ! Question, I see the video head is $450+ dollars which is expensive for me as I am in my first year of shooting sports and I mainly shoot free lance. Is a fluid head that expensive needed to pair with the hi hat ? I shoot mainly field sports and want to purchase the hi hat but the video head price scares me
Another question for you Juan - is there a video head you'd recommend for a budget conscious newbie?
JUAN I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH A VIDEO ABOUT WEDDINGS VS SPORTS
Do they make a speed booster you could use to give you 2.8 ?
The morning boost I never knew I needed, thanks Juan!
Glad it helped you my friend!
Thank you so much! Your breakdown made so much sense to me and was really helpful. I'm excited to try out some new shots!
Thanks Juan. Just jumping into the game feet first right now. I totally get that when you're jumping in, you just have to be resourceful in finding ways to get better, but QUESTION: any particular workshops you think I should look out for online, in person (live in US) or any other creator on UA-cam who focuses on teaching? Thanks again for this!
Let’s run the cottage backkkk
Creator Cottage ™️
Mnaual focus will get rid of that focus hunting, fyi!
Of course! That being said using manual focus by yourself when doing a talking head video isn’t the easiest thing ever 😅 I was too trusting of my auto focus with my f1.4 lens at the distances I was away from camera. Most times I’m at f2.8-4 and I don’t have that issue.
I really like this video Juan... Gave me a whole new perspective and ways to be more productive
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I think less than the physical its more about having to deal with politics like feeling like you’re at the mercy of brands or companies for gigs. If budgets are cut or things are slow you’re slow. That causes me to feel burn out..
I totally understand this! I think a big help here for me was also making time to make the projects and work I want to be hired for - even though that is active work, there’s a passion behind spec work that helps it be less of a pain.
@ yes I agree thats why I’ve made some attempts to be active on this channel and make videos. I’m also trying to write again but the whole being at the mercy of other people thing is tough.. not that you wouldn’t be at the mercy if you were say a nurse 9-5 kinda job but its different theres more job security and you’re less expendable. Specially with sports! I’ve shot xfl, f1, indycar, big 3 and teams will want to hire full time OR they’ll have some guy willing to do A LOT for very little. For sports I feel like its more about people liking you and being at the right place at the right time.
@Conjuredfilms @Conjuredfilms I think that’s what makes working in this industry as rewarding as it is tough. I truly believe that you can make it if you put in the work… it’s been a 7 year journey for me and I’ve been very fortunate to be where I am now, but you said it best - being liked and being somewhere at the right time, which equates to networking above all else! It’s absolutely an industry where you can find opportunity through connection which is why networking is INCREDIBLY important.
@@JuanMoralesCreative 1000% I also think being friends with fellow video/film folk is motivating and brings each other up. Thats been a perk on the channel and putting myself out there a bit. I'm sure its the same for you.
Do you have any opinion on a high hat vs a monopod that can get very low ? Which is better for what ? I do not see why a monopod would be better in any case for video ?
TOP!!
Moral of the sotry - use 180 degree shutter, shoot more 120, edit in 24p timeline. Not a lot of substance here lol
Brother film makers are not using atomos products 😂😂😂 they are way too unreliable. Just stick with content creators in this category
As someone who actively works in the film industry… I see atomos just as much as other brands 🤷♂️
@ highly doubt anyone’s plugging in a atomos monitor to an arri Alexa. Or a panavision. Maybe a a Sony fx3. lol I own literally every lineup from atomos monitor collection and they are all terrible. The only reliable one I have is my shinobi 7. And even that’s terrible.
@ I’d also love to see the your credited work from the “films” you’ve worked on. As I don’t see any on your page.
@@Donotcareabyouropinion you’re good!
That was fire
This is perfect for what I needed… if possible can you translate the sport hype to gaming? Like for a foreshadowing intro style?
This might be a first but I typed "How can I create an aesthetic-themed Instagram by posting short clips (with little editing, just a cinematic shot) that make sports look cinematic while keeping up with current trends and growing in followers?" in chat gpt because I want to start an Instagram like that, and it brought up a link to this video. If your "How viewers find this video" analytic says chat gpt: 1 view, it was me 😂
This is incredible haha shout out Chat GPT!
@@JuanMoralesCreative Haha yeah. Thanks for the great video too! I subscribed.
The Talk about minorities hit different, thank you for that !
Thank you for these tips! Some times it can be a bit discouraging
Thanks for this!
Wow..... this has so many less views that it should. Great video!
I love hearing this story! I tried doing this exact thing to get into a big game! I got rejected but now I know I am not crazy!
dope episode, lfg
Cheers!
I can attest to the importance of free work. I started at University hockey and then the ECHL. Currently working with an NHL team. Can’t stress the importance of using free work to practice your craft is the key. I’ve even been contacted by players agents from that ECHL team to create videos for them to get more notice. Think of the free work as an investment on your career much like gear.
excellently said! Great take away.
Akim actually the GOAT fr, loving this episode right now
Akim the Dream
Results? :o
40 minutes of pure gold! 2 years later and is still useful!!!
As a former athlete transitioning to video I also look to videos like yours to give insight! Learned a lot !
Would love to learn more about the audio and camera gear you were using
This is incredibly helpful info for ANYONE that has to shoot in uncontrollable environments and with people that have very limited time. Thank you Juan!
good point about the 120fps, the 24 fps motion blur is definitely sweet but yea 60-120fps can be a lot safer. Though the jittery cranked shutter look works well in sports imo too. I've wanted to try plugins like RSMB I think that add realistic motion blur (they said it was used in that boxing movie with Christian Bale), I think that'd be pretty helpful if the scene could use the 24fps-esque motion blur, even though it's not exactly the same as getting it in camera 👍
A series would be awesome!! Super underrated portion of sports
I second this!
Noted! Thanks for the feedback
I apologize for the meme sounds with Michael being in the wrong spots… the audio shifted when I was fixing my TL 😢
this was great, appreciate it 👏
Glad you liked it!
That was pretty informative we recently acquired both fx6 and 70-200 but we got this to shoot rap videos not knowing that this lens was for shooting sports. Could you recommend a piticular lens that is versatile and not quit as expensive as what we have just invested most of our budget for? Thanks for that video.
Sigma DG DN F2.8 28-70mm is a beautiful lens. But hire the new 28-105mm Art version and see if that does the job for you first. LMK how you get on.
Hey man, I have a $500 budget. what lenses do you recommend for someone who wants to take photos for their local hockey team as an amateur
If I’m being honest - hold onto that $500 and save another 500 for something at the $1000 range! Way better options at that price point
Do you reccomend the benro or manfrotto 529b hi hat?
I was waiting for you guys to recommend the fx30. Would you recommend that model as well?
I would! But it wasn’t in the “budget” range we would reco for beginners unless you can swallow the price point
Where does one typically go to look for freelance sports videography jobs?
Loved this, great advice for beginners like myself. Thank you 🙌🔥
🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿
120fps in a 24fps timeline??
Yes, that’s the norm haha
Cool conversation.
Cheers!
my two goats in one vid
Am currently do photography and I was thinking to buy the Sony A7iv because I want to film sports and do sports photography but some people tell me the crop4k60 is a deal breaker so I was thinking to buy instead buy a Sony ZVE-1 and plus I think the Sony ZVE-1 I think have the vehicul and I film want to do car videography so I don't know what I should buy if I want to buy a camera that is good for sports photography and a sports videography. Hope my question is not too long. And thank you in advance if you answer me your video is very helpful but I want your opinion on my question between what should buy to continue taking good pictures but do good sports videography and car video so I need to have a good tracking camera in video and photography.
how do you make a portfolio as a videographer?
Decide what you want to be known for as a videographer and then film that thing a lot. If you dont know what you want to niche in then just try filming everything and you’ll figure it out. Whenever you make something share it with the world, then go onto the next project. Sharing can be as simple as posting to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc at first. Rinse and repeat this and you’ll find yourself with a ton of work under your belt after a while. The best of this work can be consolidated either as you go or periodically onto a portfolio website where people can go to specifically see your work and contact you for work-related inquiries. When I first started I used the Portfolio program that comes free with your Adobe subscription to make a website, and now I use Squarespace, but what works best for you may vary. Once you have a lot of work under your belt and your best work built into a simple website that people can easily remember you can begin driving everyone there to find your portfolio of work.
What about the A7iii, i currently shoot on that, going between pp8 (cine4) or pp7 (slog2)
It’s a great camera still! Definitely usable.
@@JuanMoralesCreative thank you! What pp do you suggest ?
@bronx6458 cine4 ideally - slog is great but with 8 bit it’s tough to get the best out of those picture profiles!
@@JuanMoralesCreative How do you feel about using HLG with the a7iii
@@isaiahtuck9319 Also a great option!
