    I’ve been stumbling on more and more cinematographers with less than 1k subs and all the knowledge is so much better than the big UA-camrs because I know these small youtube channels are actually working cinematographers

      Wear you gloves@@mitchellbrinkerdp. I wanted to buy that kit to do a video for my channel on the VisionSmith LED bulbs you can get for the Arri lights. I'd seen a couple instances where people had done it with good results. One guy did burn himself pretty bad though. He had the original bulb in one light and the led in the other and grabbed the wrong one. Had to feel bad for the guy. Anyway, rave on, great content.

    Something that I think is important is to watch your stuff on a big TV. Now I might be wrong, but I think your grain is wayyyy tooo much! On a 55 inch it looks a bit much. But I suppose it's subjective. Just doesn't look like film, just looks like artificial grain turned up too high.
    But the video is really good btw. Just thought I'd say.

    I'm a big fan of cinema and films but I don't know what you're referring to with "cinematic lights". Your video looks nothing lile Mad Max or West by North West.

    • @mitchellbrinkerdp
      @mitchellbrinkerdp  Місяць тому

      Cinematic is mostly just a buzzword. I have a video I’m working on debunking “cinematic” and the “feature film” look. As for these setups, these are crude poor man’s versions of lighting setups/techniques that are used on larger sets. Same ideas just scaled way down. Can be a simple way to get some looks.
