      I do because when I started I had only Rokinon prime cine lenses and the Zhiyun Crane version 1 I just figured out how to do the best with I have and of course edit out the bad shots.

      im a beginner with cameras so can anyone clarify what shooting "wide" means? Is that shooting with a wide open aperture (f1.4 for example) or are you referring to something else, if so can you explain, thanks

    • @AndresSenande
      @AndresSenande 6 років тому +12

      Patrice X30 by wide he just means there’s more in the frame than just the subject. If you look at the scene with guy in the yellow hoody you can see his boys in the back and the house and even some of the front lawn. By shooting it wide and higher aperture it seems like everything is more in focus. As opposed to a shot where the subject is close and you can see more details of the subject himself

  • @Esthiem
    @Esthiem 6 років тому +5

    Dope video man, you've touched on this subject before during videos but I'm glad you went more in depth with this. Another tip I found useful is if your camera or monitor doesn't have focus peaking you can always digitally zoom in on your LCD screen and put your subject in focus before shooting. I tend to focus on my subjects eyes a lot and this method helps when you're subject is far away or you're shooting a wide shot.

  • @gunlokman
    @gunlokman 4 роки тому +1

    You're the first person I've seen advocating a smaller aperture - the extra DOF is important - even if you have to up the ASA or use lighting to compensate. Nice video. Thanks for posting.

  • @VisualsbyBruno
    @VisualsbyBruno 6 років тому +20

    The method to "shoot wide" is the biggest/best hack or pro tip. You actually mentioned this tip a while back in the video of how you setup your Ronin-M. Great advice! Blessing bro

    • @patricex3095
      @patricex3095 6 років тому +2

      Joshua Carruth im a beginner with cameras so can anyone clarify what shooting "wide" means which he mentioned in the video? Is that shooting with a wide open aperture (f1.4 for example) or are you referring to something else, if so can you explain, thanks

    • @VisualsbyBruno
      @VisualsbyBruno 6 років тому +1

      Patrice X30 shoot wide with respect to focal length (lens)

    • @OneManOneCamera
      @OneManOneCamera 6 років тому +4

      Patrice X30 - I'm going to agree with you on this. I never heard the term "shooting wide" before. I've heard "shooting wide open" which as you stated, refers to a wide open aperture. I'm thinking that he is referring to using a wide angle lens with an aperture which allows for the majority of the shot to remain in focus.
      I checked his kit.com page and he has the Laowa 7.5/F2.0 lens which is a great wide angle/low-light lens and does match what I wrote above.
      In conclusion, my interpretation of what "shoot wide" means is to get a wide angle lens, shoot at the lowest aperture which fits the theme of your movie while keeping the frame in focus. Easy!

    • @EAZYMEDIAPRODUCTIONS
      @EAZYMEDIAPRODUCTIONS 6 років тому +2

      It means a wide focal length on your lens. I use a sigma 17-50mm f2.8 and i keep it at 17mm for my "wide" shots

  • @DisplayDriver
    @DisplayDriver 6 років тому +4

    I sometimes use the equal distance technique (while shooting in 4k) and then digitally zoom in post so it seems as if I'm increasing/decreasing distance but I'm really not.
    Works surprisingly well!

    Nice one YC! Focusing from the halfway point of the path was our favourite one. We've experienced the back and forth hunting, especially with our wider lenses at the higher f stops. They tend to favour the highlights in the shot so we increase the aperture which helps out a lot. We're definitely going to try out all of these tips. Thanks!

    I grabbed a 180 dollar monitor recently with focus peaking and zebra lines. Bought it specifically for mounting on the gimbal but we end up using it for a lot more due to the features and vibrance of it; even shooting in log and without a LUT input. (Feelworld f570)
