How I Film Vertical Reels
How I film Vertical Reels for Instagram reels. The most popular way to film a vertical reel is of course, using your iPhone. Today I wanted to share a behind the scenes and tutorial on how I film more "cinematic" vertical reels for clients. This can be for short ads, promos, event recaps, or business highlights.
I hope you find this helpful!

We colored clips from the sony a7siii shot on slog-3 and dji osmo pocket 3 shot on dlog-m. This is not a beginners guide but more of a walkthrough of his color grading process. He is NOT a professional colorist but this is just our approach to color gradi...

    I was going to say if you connect a USB C cable over to the ronin and your camera you can use the record button and the wheel to change ISO when shooting, it helps out so much not having to reach over to the camera record button, but this was amazing, and really inspired to go out and shoot again!

      @ no the people looked like they were genuinely smiling and happy , which is a testament to what you are doing and being polite and asking them , I’m going to use it for sure , side note , do you press record on your camera , I noticed you doing it , does the gimbal you have not have Bluetooth where you can press it on the gimbal , I may be mistaken though , I have the RS3 pro
