    It's so refreshing to see a video like this on UA-cam devoid of any pretentiousness. Nothing I haven't heard before in terms of the individual tips but it's your presentation and your intelligent summary that makes it special. Very nicely done.

    I love how in your videos you always mention that is more important the time and the efford that we put into the planing of the scenes and that sort of stuff. Filmaking is something that I really want to get into (althought i have participed in a few, I want to get more involved) and your videos never fail to inspire me. (Sorry if bad english, I'm from Venezuela)

  • @Bumper210
    @Bumper210 8 років тому +107

    I prefer Steadicams than Stabilizers 'cause they make more natural footage ;)
    BTW: Pretty actress :) But there was no apple in the end :(

    • @elb7032
      @elb7032 8 років тому +2

      Yeah you've got a point but if you practice enough with gimbals then you don't have to worry about unnatural footage. Look at Krispy Media for reference

    • @Bumper210
      @Bumper210 8 років тому +1

      I mean this unshaky (like from sliders) move ;)

    • @GrizlacksChannel
      @GrizlacksChannel 8 років тому

      Krispy along with a lot of other people in the automotive photography scene use a gimbal. They're not really telling a story like most movie/film makers do so they don't have to worry about if natural footage or movement needs to play a roll. Its mostly just nice shots of nice cars.

    • @elb7032
      @elb7032 8 років тому +4

      Grizlack I know where you're coming from but I'm going to argue against it. I hate saying stuff like this but many automotive videographers put lots of practice into making their shots look at natural as possible, like in the way they walk and use rhythm to keep things as steady as possible.

  • @TheChestermarc
    @TheChestermarc 8 років тому +13

    In Marching Band we have a thing called "roll stepping". It definitely helps out while shooting!!!
    And lastly, what is that outer rim around your 24mm f/2.8 lens? I don't have that in mine.

    • @nazeefn
      @nazeefn 8 років тому

      ND filter

      @kecknmj 8 років тому +4

      +Chester Marc actually it's a step up ring. he probably has a lens with wider threads and doesn't want to have to buy the same filter twice to accommodate both lenses.

  • @khurramkamran9575
    @khurramkamran9575 7 років тому +3

    hey simon, how do you get t3i to product such good results on 1080, Im not talking about light quality or contrast (we know you're good at that) but the image resolution quality itself

    • @calvisuals
      @calvisuals 7 років тому

      If the exposure and focus is on point, the T3i has something like an 18 Megapixel sensor, so it's a really nice image. (1080p is easily enough to get a crisp HD shot for most media.) I usually had to apply a bit of noise reduction on most of my shots tho. He certainly makes the most out of that camera. :)

      As if your other favorite UA-camrs hadn't already? Plus fucking movies do it all the time. Breaking Bad probably the greatest show of all time used a car product placement to get more money to make the rest of his masterpiece. If he hadn't told us it would've honestly been all the same to me.
