    Honestly the first time I saw the clip on tiktok I didnt know it was a Levi's ad, love how it just feels like a nice piece of cinematography without pushing the ad right into your face, thanks for the great breakdown as well.

      Well it isn’t a Levi’s ad? It’s a spec job 🤷‍♂️

    • @theowlfromduolingo7982

      But isn’t it literally the job of an ad to present a product and a brand?

    • @fredrikcallinggard3905
      @fredrikcallinggard3905 Рік тому

      @@theowlfromduolingo7982 a spec job is a “speculative job” in hopes that it will be noticed and paid for. Or it’s also a way of making an idea for a brand in order to be recognized. Nothing wrong with it and he mentions it in his headline, but it’s not a hired job.

      @@fredrikcallinggard3905 That’s not my point and I know what spec ad means.
      SamSK liked that the spec ad had good cinematography but he didn’t notice that it was about clothing made by Levi’s. But I think that good cinematography is important and should also support the story but the job of each commercial is that it must be rather obvious what it is about. So if he didn’t notice that it’s about Levi’s products, the concept of the ad, no matter if it’s an official or spec ad, failed in this case. Do you know what I mean? At least that’s how I interpreted his comment

    Amazing work! You did a fantastic job, the only thing holding this back is the in-body stabilization. I know that a lot of people love the in body stabilization, but it actually gives it an amateur look because of the way that the stabilization is sticky. You can always tell right away when something is stabilized in body. Because as you move the camera a little bit and it sticks at certain points. Also, you just need to add a lot more weight to the camera. That’s why the stuff on Arri Alexa looks so good handheld, aside from the fast rolling shutter, it’s also the weight that gives it the stability and the proper inertia. Anyway, man you’re a super talented guy. You’ll be directing high-end spots any day now. Stay focused. You’ll get there.

      Thank you so much for this, I defo agree with the stabilization bit + the weight of the rig because this was a test for the camera also and figure out how i will want to use for future shoots. Also i think thats why i love the look coming out of a Sony FS7, using that camera handheld is amazing due to how heavy it is!
      Im still putting bits together for an FX30 rig so will defo show that and how that footage will look 👊🏽

    Very very thorough breakdown I love how you broke up each segment and even this video is color graded it really gives off this stylish vibe to your channel you have inspired me alot with this one reaching out to a model agency for a cast is a gem I never thought of doing that but my only peeve or one thing I wish you included was the recording format that you used on your camera and if your externally recorded to monitor or not. But you have earned a sub with me I would love to hear what you do on shoots with a fs7 in a future breakdown video because I just bought one and no one seems to talk about the best recording format to get the best out of your color grade.
