Awesome video! Feel like I learned a lot. Love seeing you work with ozzy and Noah and so cool that you are located in Boulder! (I’m in Littleton). Thanks for sharing, keep it up!
I have been searching for a video like this. I just started photographing rock climbing and I've been wanting to do a video for a while. This is one of the best tutorial and explanation videos out right now.
Great advice. Great video.
Love this! So helpful in my film making journey
Can't wait to see what you make!
Great video! Something awesome that I noticed you did but didn't mention in your tips was to also just be a fun person to be around and bring positivity to the group. You encouraging the climbers and being stoked for them for sure made them more comfortable around the camera and allowed for more epic shots. Well done!
this was so helpful!! keep em coming.
Thanks dude, appreciate it! More on the way :)
super helfull video man, im in my final year right now and taking on a bouldering video project for my final exam this video was super helpful keep up the great content
This was awesome man! I’ll def use your tips!
Thanks so much dude! Happy to hear it was helpful :)
Wow, thank you Roo for putting this together. Really inciteful advice for anyone that wants to capture the elusive magic of rock climbing. I think you absolutely nailed it with the storytelling bit at the end - so crucial in taking our beautiful looking climbing videos to the next level and making them interesting and accessible to everyone. You got my sub!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the storytelling side of things too, I definitely agree it's the most important piece of all of it :)
Great video man! A lot of good info. I’m not really sure even into Rock climbing, but really enjoyed that! Keep it up!
Thanks man! More general filmmaking tips to come too :)
Loved this! Man I really wish I had someone like you to film all of my climbing adventures...
You'll find that cameraman someday I'm sure ;)
@@roosmith6guessing it’s you?
Solid video with great tips. Do you typically keep it in 60fps all day?
Happy to hear you liked the video! I normally film all the climbing shots in 60fps since it's nice to have the option to slow it down. Unless there's somebody talking or it begins to get too dark for keeping my shutter speed twice my frame rate (so around 1/125) I'll either have it at 24fps or 60fps. It's pretty rare I use 120fps because it often just feels too slow for a lot of bouldering movements :)
This is a fantastic video, thanks for putting this out! What's your feeling on stabilized lenses? I know the 24-105 you mentioned is stabilized.
I assume you're doing a lot of hand held shots. Is it just a nice to have or is it fairly important for you? I've been interested in the 24-105 but I like the wider aperture of standard zooms for stills photography.
Thanks again!
Stoked to hear you enjoyed the video :) As far as stabilization goes, I love having it on the 24-105 since it's a perfect "one size fits all" kind of lens and pretty important when I'm only carrying one lens into the backcountry or on shoots where I don't have tons of time to change lenses.
That being said, I do shoot a lot of my commercial projects and branded documentary style pieces all on prime lenses that don't have stabilization. Because the Sony A7siii has such good internal stabilization, lenses that don't have it can still produce pretty stable shots. I'd say get one lens with internal stabilization that can be your "jack of all trades, master of none" lens and you can keep using the others for their shallow depth of field
@@roosmith6 Thanks for response dude! I’m shooting with the A7IV which I think has similar stabilization to the A7sIII? So I’ll keep that in mind!
Looking forward to your next video!
big rocks indeed
Indeed :)
