"sorry Anton, we're in the middle of... " - typical jerk on the set hahahhaa
+Marko Žutić i get that especially with PA saying that
"God damn Anton! please just.... oh wait" haha
+Marko Žutić Haha :)
+quarry creek We can be a jerk and then think "oh wait, I'm being a jerk, I'm wrong". And then not be a jerk anymore. I think that's what happened here.
yes, you are right he acknowledged that he's jerk, but that does not mean that he is not. He should have listened in the first place: You gotta know to listen to people.
+quarry creek i wrote "hahahahha" in the end of my comment so im not a jerk by your own logic :D
You're very welcome Simon :)
*You're
Great job Anton ❤️
@@ShahzaibBalouchLyari Thank you, please stream my documentary A Manchester Story Now on Vimeo
Anton, what a legend.
+Riley Dueck Thank you :)
+Anton Arenko good job Anton !
:)
I guess Anton will be our very first meme from this channel.... Well done people
Anton is da real MVP!
Go Anton!
+EposVox Thanks :)
+EposVox I know it may seem like it but i am not stalking you
Anton we don't have time for your shi... wait a minute say that again hahaha
+MPVE XD
that was very disrespectful , I wonder how that dude will feel watching this ...
@@yabi1384 He only called out Anton as a "low ranking position on set" to emphasize the fact that good ideas can come from anyone on set and director's shouldn't overthink their problems. I doubt he meant any disrespect to Anton, who is also an independent film maker.
Oh, yeaaah! That is what i`m looking for. Lighting is one of the most important things in filming, I`m still struggling with it. Thank you for the tips, I appreciate your work, Simon!
+Mr.Viktor no problem Mr Viktor :)
Why would anyone 'thumbs down' knowledge? Even if you already know it. Mind boggling. Thanks Simon.
good words. taking a step back may feel like a waste of time but often times produces a quicker solution.
great learn at any stage of ones career. an PAs though the lowest position, are often times the most valuable.
Thanks for the shout dude. Another great video. Was a pleasure to work with you. Looking forward for the next project ;)
JP
Anton being a champ and taking everyone's shit.
Finally, not self centred, INFORMATIVE and entertaining to watch UA-camr... Definetly one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
+Martynas Sia why thank you Martynas :)
Anton coming in clutch!
+Basic Matt Visuals Thanks :)
The Almighty Anton! He should win on Oscar
+S&S Pictures Someday
@3:16 "The lowest ranking job" Indeed, and if doesn't show up, you have a problem :-)
But seriously: When you have a problem, *always* at least listen to the solutions people give you. Never dismiss a suggestion just because you don't expect that person to be able to give you a solution. Everybody who is there is trying to make it work and you have already shown not to have a solution, so....
+vinny142 :)
I really don't care about Hollywood and its big names. You my guy, you are the the ish. You and your team are the ish. You are the one we come to when we need motivation, not Spielberg, you bro. And as for Anton, stay humble and learn man, Greatness awaits you and your team. #ATEAM
Step back and completely avoid it. Completely avoid the problem- Simon Cade
Brilliant!!!
+Forever Films & Skits yes
I think Simon deliberately mentioned Anton and his rank so as to make the hierarchy go away in the minds of filmmakers. Kind of a psychological move to make us think that we should treat everyone in the set equally. Good job Simon and Anton! :)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Good job Anton! don't let them punk you ;)
+Humble Pie thx :)
Very professional my man. I respect you and all of the creators out there that take the time to quintessentially execute their craft.
Wow, that takeaway was super nice to let you do all that. Good job Simon!
That hint with google maps was amazing!! :)
The best think is not to say that "we've always been doing that"... That's what you explained very well... ^_^ I love it.
Man, I've been watching your channel all day today. So inpiring... I think I'm buying a t3i... get a bunch of lights instead of getting the 5D MK III
nice, that sounds like a good decision :)
Smart choice
You should buy a 50mm f1.8 aswell; the best "value for money" lens in the market.
You got it wrong, the real secret is the apple. >.> He doesn't want us to know. . .
*Update* I bought the new Canon 80D and it's so worth it. and I did get the 50mm and also bought the Rockinnon 35mm.
Thanks guys!
Anton > Simon
lol
Creativity and hierarchy don't always mesh well
+Ced-3 I agree - usually I would never have mentioned it :)
Sometimes its the lowliest voices that offer the greatest wisdom. Great video man. Thanks for always creating such high quality content.
+Jonathon Weldon :)
Awesome advice! Appreciate everything we can learn from someone who's out there learning from mistakes.
More great wise words! I bet Anton is having the time of his life now :P
+Tom Anderson Yeah :)
Excellent guide. I figured your work on the short would fuel a video like this.
Honesty guys, I know you worked hard on the short film that you did, but you really need concentrate on keeping your subjects in focus. Having your talent out of focus is one for the biggest turn off's for an audience. When I watched the camera man moving in closer to the subject, he wasn't even pulling focus. Anyway, I appreciate the time spent on the film, I just think that there needs to be more consideration for the little things. Also never put down your team members on set by saying they are the "lowest ranking job on set", they're all volunteer, and there is no room to talk at the position your in. There is a lot you still have to learn, and one day when your get older, your going to start as a production assistant just like everybody else.
true one... that idea can come from anywhere
Very informative video. I was amazed by how many efforts you have put on the lighting. I loved the look.
loved this! lighting is such an important concept within film, it would be lovely to see some other ways to achieve "cinematic" lighting on a budget!
+Kate Dotson thanks Kate - we can do more of these :)
Nothing fake and fancy. Just good tips. Thanks.
+James Rivera cheers James :)
Great advice as always, keep creating these videos as they are really useful.
all the best
Paul
Also the great tools that are accessible without being rich today help. Such as Adobe Speedgrade in the creative cloud. Sometimes you got to reshoot a scene or can't go back to the same location or the weather won't be the same, I've gotten quite good at making it look exactly the same with Speed Grade. Mostly what I do now, since I'm a colorist, I already know what I'm gonna do the footage so I can pick out a location and know what it will look like.
where can i watch/buy the film Simon?
+stu crompton the short film he made is on his channel i think its cade visuals? or simon cade visuals, called two wrongs
+stu crompton ua-cam.com/users/cadevisuals
got it simon, great short pal wish it was a bit longer :)
I am so happy I stumbled upon this channel, I ve learned soo much from Anton!
You are genius, I can't belive it.
I love how you listened to Anton lol. I say this because I sometimes I do this to myself or others and miss out on some valuable information/ideas.
Brilliant! Just love the information you share. I'm a working professional and as a person who has been on a ton of sets you give such great advice and touch on the little and big things about production that people should take note off. Keep it up, I love your videos.
Who is better, Anton or god? trick question, Anton IS God
Don't refer to him by his mortal name! He created you
+JamesRodgers25 actually my parents did, crazy right!?
Dylan Wallace If Anton is God, doesn't that mean Anton doesn't actually exist?
+JamesRodgers25 illuminati confirmed
On set hierarchy - best lesson in team work - never underestimate the abilities of those around you when working to a shared vision.
This video made me understand more about the light in cinematography. Greetings from Venezuela!!
The gel technique was very interesting. Great video!
+Francisco Pereira Coutinho Olá. Sou português e Director de Fotografia deste projecto do Simon. Se quiseres passa no meu canal. Abraço
+CINEMATICJ hey! Que engraçado, encontra-se sempre um Português onde menos se espera! Muitos parabéns! Acho que fizeste um óptimo trabalho neste filme. Esta técnica do gel é uma excelente aprendizagem! Vives em Inglaterra? Vou para Londres em Maio, era porreiro a malta juntar-se para fazer filmes! Há alguma forma de falarmos por e-mail?
Um abraço e obrigado por comentares!
Procura JP Caldeano no face e adiciona-me, talvez seja mais fácil. ;)
Didn't expect to learn a life lesson at the end of this video lol... Great!
Okay, so sorry I took it the wrong way, You are still such an inspiration to me!
I just wish I had more time to make more of my videos. All this great info and I can put it to good use.
Someday you gonna rock it ANTON !! Juz do wt u do.. u will achieve for sure. All the best bro ! Regards from INDIA.
Nissil Thomas Chako Thank you :)
Okay, I did not know about the Google earth thing. Very helpful. I'll have to remember that for my next project.
Much more apple bite time this time I see! Very good! Kinda smug and clear! WE the people like it!!! :)
It's not the lowest ranking on the set. Production assistant is a big help and we should look others as equal in the production set.
I love your videos! Thanks for all the behind the scenes.
There must be lots of production assistants working on big productions who never get to contribute their ideas due to all that hierarchy.
This video is not about cinematic lighting on a budget at all. It's about Anton.
If I ever get to earn an award, you are definitely on my list to say "thank you" :)
This is a weird comment but I've noticed a common theme among British cinematography (from my experience) and you definitely have that element.
Thanks for making this video.
Anton doesn't deserve this haha. Well done either way Simon!
Awesome video! Keep up the great work!
Anton is a hero!
+Cine masters Thanks :)

+PyroDrone I did! :D
+Garret R I did! :D
... Why would you dislike an amazingly informative video?
Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your experience this is so helpful!
Great!!!Love your way to handle the things.
I really enjoy your videos ana I look forward to the apple at the end 🍎
great video!! could you talk about different style of montage to create different sensations on the spectator? would be insteresting
+ClockPC hmm maybe one day - do you mean like a Rocky style exercise montage compared to a romance montage?
Great video, as always. Thanks for teaching me so many new things! :)
Lovely Shawshank clip there :)
KISS works best all the time, "Keep It Simple Stupid".
Great informative video Simon. All hail the Anton
+kieranproskills Thank you :)
Great tips as always thanks 🎬
I feel ridiculous with my 70D, you are literally making me a better at making videos.
3 videos in...new sub definitely.
+Wes Ottem cheers Wes!
Anton was the real MVP of the shoot
too right
Fantastic, wise words......
+DSLRguide love watching your videos. always gets me re-inspired about film or when im in a slump writing a script. Thank you very much. Keep doing you :)
That's awesome how that worked out!
lol well done Anton
So it's basically "Know you environment" protip :)
I really hope you become a director one day. You would make hit after hit.
This is really handy stuff. Thanks Simon :D
Hey Simon! Can you make a low budget guide of how to make light equipment? I've recently been in a shooting studio and had this epiphany of buying a White Umbrella after seeing something similar over there, and that led me to believe that buying flashlights to use in conjuction with the white umbrella would be an awesome idea
I would love to hear your professional opinion on this, i haven't made any vids about it yet but if you could try and test it out that would be amazing!
p.s:anyone from NZ i want to be a production assistant!
Awesome idea.. thanks for sharing!
Awesome episode Simon :D Love those stories.
I really like the music in this
Stanley Kubrick fans will recall that for the filming of the film Barry Lyndon, he acquired ultra fast lenses designed for NASA to shoot dinner table scenes by candlelight only! Simon: is there a cheat sheet or table for aperture and shutter speed combinations?
+Cana Dude Kubrick was crazy about his lenses :) As far as a cheat-sheet, the basic idea is to set your shutter speed to 1/50th (double the frame rate, which is usually 24), and then the aperture just as wide as possible (low numbers: f/1.4, 1.8, 2.8 etc). Using a shorter shutter (eg 1/200th) or a aperture of f/5.6, f/8 etc will make everything darker.
+DSLRguide Thanks for the response...your channel is awesome, and you are super talented! Greetings from Canada!
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated
thanks for the tips. Some good ones in there.
Please make an episode on Continuity principles, How to maintain a continuity sheet .. with reference to past projects .. :)
Another ripper! Keep up the good work!
I like this guy so much !
great vid, footage looks good
+Jeff Lafferty thanks Jeff :)
PA is the highest ranking job, because without them, there's no production.
+Carlo Bijan Indians are nice people!
+somnath kadari of course they are.
This is a great / helpful / encouraging resource for lighting independent shoots! For some reason I CANNOT find the option to sun map like you explained at 1:48... Downloaded google earth (both phone and laptop) and NO CLUE where the toggle switch is you guys used to learn about where the sun will be... Halp!
good stuff
good point! cant wait for your next movie :)
