    Love all the tips! I just want to say you have inspired me a lot throughout my video making journey. Buying my first camera (also the sonya6400) and making my first UA-cam video was mostly because I binged watch your videos back in 2021. Finding out I was gonna go to the same uni as you was definitely a very cool coincidence. I actually said hi to you one time and then never saw you on campus again haha. But I just want to say thank you for creating your videos, because they have truly inspired me a lot and are also just really genuine enjoyable videos to watch :)

    • @JasonZhao
      @JasonZhao  4 місяці тому +1

      I’ve never done much with food vlogging but I have done commercial shoots for restaurants and I think a big part is letting the viewers see how the food is made like a BTS cinematic sequence of inside the kitchen not just the end result!

    Great video and thanks for the tips. Question, what do your camera settings typically look like when shooting these run and gun style cinematic vlogs? Are you on automatic for certain shots, full manual all the time, do you use auto white balance or set it for every single scene, do you use a picture profile (if so which one), etc?

      Typically shoot in 4k30fps at 1/60. Normally filmmaking is typically at 24fps and 1/48 but for social media compatibility 30fps is my personal choice
