Let me know any Q&A you have about this upcoming film and I’ll add it into future videos! Also, don’t miss out on the Polar Pro Black Friday sale tinyurl.com/4ybpx478
I'd like to know how you make them feel so comfortable during the interview process and how you lead them through to make sure you get what you need to support the story. Your films and channel have made it clear to me that documentaries is what I want to do! Appreciate you bro!
I noticed you have the cinemascope aspect ration but some of your shots looked like you used the Helios which is a spherical lens. Can you discuss the aspect ratio and how you decide which lens to use to work with that aspect ratio? I'm not sure if my question is making sense.
@@DJILLEE just eing nice and professional, relaxed and yourself. But I don't think there is like a guide for that.. Tips yeah but you must see what works for you. lways being nice and relaxed. People in general dig that.
Just subscribed for that. Great quality and to the point. Exhausted of the vloggers telling me what did they ate today instead of telling me about the product.
To be honest ... your tutorials have changed the way I think about and execute filmmaking. Solid, practical advice with real-world examples and not just a bunch of jibber-jabber. Thank you for so generously sharing your genius. I am inspired. And, the film showcased here - WOW!
As a photographer, I feel more inspiration on you than on many photographers out there. Not just for the tricks like the mist filter, also for the importance of the goals/purpose over the perfection. Living and feeling over just sharpness or 2500€ quality lens.
I had a great time watching this video. Learned a lot, and honestly it changed the way I look at filmmaking. It's true that some locations are not as exciting as others. So, taking control of your set and adding things to it is a great tip. Thanks for sharing, Mark.
THIS is gold...thank you for sharing. I have an upcoming shoot for a Bed and Breakfast with rich history, and this helped get my mind thinking about more than just what camera I am using, or what the scripting will look like (All important, but visual story telling is so important as well)
Maann ! One of the best videos I ve watched in a long time! So much good, really good, information in such a short video! To the point, amazing examples and so much inspiration! Thank You, for that!
Your videos are always so good and have really helped me get in a mindset for making film rather than just saying- get this gear or that to make this happen. I really appreciate that bit of motivation. And you're always making youtube videos even while shooting such wonderful documentaries. So much devotion to filmmaking as well as helping all of us! Thank you so much
What I've learnt from you (and a few other DoP friends of mine) is that the more you add on-location - Haze, Filters, Smoke, ND, etc., the lesser work you need to do on post to make your footage look great.
Thank you Mark! Lately, more and more frequently the question 'what's the point?' pops up in my head... And then one of your videos comes along to remind me that it's not how someone will appreciate your work, but how you'll feel in the process of creating it. It's 5am, I will now grab my camera and head to the gym. It will be a 1 minute edit which I will enjoy shooting and editing and f***k what anyone thinks 😁💪🏼
Lots of great advice! I liked how you pushed for us new filmmakers to not be afraid to add haze, add shake to your footage, to get creative but to also make sure it is intentional and planned in advance. When I first saw the flares I was like is he shooting an anamorphic lens...but then could tell it was a modifier which for a person like myself that hates horizontal flares in images I could see how this could come in handy for those very few moments that it would actually complement your story. Nice job on this and good luck on your documentary it looks awesome already :)
As a new Culinary Filmmaker after cooking for the past 29 years and this pandemic crippled our Resturants, I really appreciate these episodes, great job. Thanks a Million for the precious nuggets of knowledge they make me batter at my new craft. Aloha🤙🏾
not sure how I came across this but loved it. Key words: "Think weird / think different" and "tone and emotion". Loved the shotgun mic drop in the pickup - I just picked up some spacers for a smaller sennheiser that suffers the same tendency - I'll be directing a docuseries this coming year and we chose the FX9 and FX6 -still choosing the lenses with my DP - nice to see how you're creating the feel for this doc. kudos. also a big fan of hazers....
much respect to you bro......My brother from another mother........ur vlog says....."I want to see you grow as a cinematographer"........tots on the note pad to get meaningful B roll, made it for me.....Thanks again......
The algorithm got me here. Never seen your videos and got to say. Awesome work. Clearly already blew past the 100k mark. It'll be a rocketship from here. Great footage, great tips and will add more to the watch later list. Keep up the awesome work Mark. Hopefully levels up my own work on the main channel.
Some facts for the sport fans... The "Dakar" rally, previously known as the "Paris - Dakar" rally was created by Thierry Sabine ("tee-ayh-ree sah-been"), a man with passions for motorcycle and Africa. He eventually died during the 1986 edition, in a helicopter accident that killed four others (including singer Daniel Balavoine). The "Dakar" rally was taken over by his father for some years, before being operated by ASO. This is the same company behind the Tour de France and dozens of international sports events. Very interesting perspective you gave us Mark, with the force of these immersive images. Thank you.
This is a great video! Thank you for helping me improve my Video Production skills by teaching me some tips on how I can achieve more exciting cinematography no matter where the shoot is!
Nice, to the point,informative piece. It did not feel like 8 minutes. Thanks for the gear info as well. Best of all I learned. Thank you. You just got a new subscriber!
I met Lawrence in Chile for the 2012 BMW GS Trophy. He’s one of the best motorcycle storytellers out there. That must make it waaay easier to shoot a story. GREAT video!
Really enjoyed this video. I'm new to your page but really enjoying it and learning a lot. Not only do you have a great skill set, but you really have a great understanding of the challenges that those of us with less experience have and you do a fantastic job communicating these helpful hints! I just watched your video on how to shoot handheld before this one, and I would really love to see more of your movements and filming. I understand you might not wanna give away too many secrets, and I also understand that it would take a lot of someone else shooting BTS for you. But if you have more specifically from your dakar video that you could share, I would really love to study what you did closer and try to get myself inside your head a bit more. Thanks for all you do for us noobs, Mark!
Mark, this was fantastic. Extremely clear and useful advice that was delivered so naturally, very easy to watch and take in. Beautiful vision, and even your talking head setup was warm and beautiful to look at, subbing off this 👏🏼. Would also love to see BTS of the colour matching/ grading process!
Love your content and channel, really surprised you never mentioned lighting. You extra lighting in all of interview and indoor shots, I would love to hear more about your approach to lighting. Thanks, and as always, keep the content coming!
It pisses me off. Every single UA-cam cinematographer says the same shit: haze, mist filter, lens flares. These are just trendy easy band-aid options to get decent footage. Most truly great photography is far more inspired, plus lighting tends to be 50+ percent of what makes things look "cinematic."
I thought this was going to be another annoying video but it actually was helpful and well done. Amazing work, thank you so much for this awesome video.
I just wanted to say that you are my second favorite UA-camr after Kara & Nate (travel UA-camrs). Watching your videos is not only educational but it pumps me up to go out and shoot another project.
Great advice and insight as always, thank you. I’d be interested to understand the process of how you obtain the old racing footage for your Dakar doc?
What do you use to make the haze? Also, want to say thank you for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge. Your channel has been so valuable to me and video career. Looking forward to seeing this doc!
Do any of your clients have reservations about haze either from a health perspective or from any residue it leaves on their stuff? Even for you, does it leave gunk on your lenses?
I always wanted to add atmosphere to my shots but I’m always in a corporate office building or medical office. How do you go about getting around smoke alarms and the fog juice landing all over the environment without ruining their offices?
You need to specifically get a haze machine, not fog. Low end Halloween fog machines will leave nasty residue, but nice higher end haze machines won’t leave any sticky film residue, nor set off fire alarms.
What are the thoughts on adding mist in post-processing / editing ? DaVince Resolve Fusion module can produce some great results doing this and of course you have much more control over the effect than using a hazer / smoke machine on location.
Thanks for this Mark, love it! Can you tell us what the arm and clamp are called that you attach to your monitor? I see them at 2:51 but can't figure out where they're from. Thanks so much!
yeah very cool story, I'm keen to watch - thankyou for this helpful advice, I feel like I'm slowly getting better when not much time to think about the shot just muscle-memorying into the right positions
I'd love it if you did a video on the Artem Smoker. Go more in depth on how long it lasts, the sort of coverage you can get, pros and cons etc. Hope I'm not the only one that wants to see this :) love your content!
I haven't been introduced to these ideas before this video. Very exciting methods to bring into a room before picking up the camera. I'm very grateful for this video! tHanks.
mark, you are awesome bro. You deserve millions of subs because your content is always very informative and it shows how passionate you are on helping us learn always. Much love bro. Cant wait to see you make more even more impact on millions of people through your work. You motivate and inspire me so much

Don't know if you've done this already, but if you haven't show us how you grade that FX9 Doc footage! It has a distinct look every time and I love it
Have to admit, this was a lot better and more helpful than I expected. And I really appreciate the lack of useless vlog-style fluff!
Thanks Brendan!!
Hear hear.
Just subscribed for that. Great quality and to the point.

Thanks for this feedback Don! This is great
I use your backlighting tip every time I shoot now and it has drastically improved my documentary footage, thank you Mark!
Love if Zach!!
Color grading! The before and after was incredible would love to see how you guys color correct footage like this!
These tips are the difference between an actual cinematographer speaking vs a UA-cam filmmaker. Massive difference
As a photographer, I feel more inspiration on you than on many photographers out there. Not just for the tricks like the mist filter, also for the importance of the goals/purpose over the perfection. Living and feeling over just sharpness or 2500€ quality lens.

you're real passionate, Mark. Its truely inspiring, thank you.
Excellent examples of blue and gold morphic
💯
THIS is gold...thank you for sharing. I have an upcoming shoot for a Bed and Breakfast with rich history, and this helped get my mind thinking about more than just what camera I am using, or what the scripting will look like (All important, but visual story telling is so important as well)
The Artem smoker in the forest was a nice touch! Definitely made the location more interesting.
The amount of video people Mark inspires and teaches is insane. I just found this channel and it's literal gold
Always blown away by the value that your videos provide ❤❤❤
Grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge 🙏

Love those filters. Especially the warm anamorphic glow.
So many great points raised! Thanks for sharing your vision with us. One thing that really resonated with me was "pool of light" @ 6:57

Hands down, the best filmmaking channel on UA-cam
thanks brother!

That forest scene with the smoke is SICK

Great points! Loved the input & appreciate it man.
Wow this was awesome! Love the way you were articulating your tips. It made so much sense. Much appreciated bro.
You're great Mark
One of the best videos you've made. Looking forward to watching the doc
Glad you enjoyed it!
This channel has probably helped me more than any other I’ve watched. Thanks for the great advice!
Was this originally shot in 6K? It looks soo much better than the FX6 and A7IV
Great advice and insight as always, thank you. I’d be interested to understand the process of how you obtain the old racing footage for your Dakar doc?
Always inspiring. You are the best Mark
amazing advice! Mark where did you get your hoodie!? I want one!
really nailed the exhausted desperation feel! Great job
Mark, how do you monetize your documentaries? Love your work, thanks for that!
Great! Some really beautiful shots there and great tips too.
Dude that shot at 6:15 is gorgeous.
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam
🤘🤘🤘
dope,very good things to keep in mind..cant wait to see the film
Thanks dude !
I want to know more about lenses you used in the doc especially in the forest shots and lightning set up .
This channel always inspires me! Awesome job man! 👍🏿
Love all of your videos mark! Thank you for this!
Great idea, taking notes on what they're talking about!
Thank you as always for direction and inspiration. I believe you inspired direction for 2022. 😀 Much love!
What do you use to make the haze? Also, want to say thank you for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge. Your channel has been so valuable to me and video career. Looking forward to seeing this doc!
you can use a cheap fogger if youre in a small to mid size room. Don't overthink it.
Love this! Great points and ideas! I'll definitely being bringing these tidbits to set with me next shoot!
could listen hours of this content! Learning so much here - thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
I think it's pretty cool what your doing. Like your style.
Do any of your clients have reservations about haze either from a health perspective or from any residue it leaves on their stuff? Even for you, does it leave gunk on your lenses?
This was awesome, thank you for putting this together!
Mark at 5:33 does that have the Goldmorphic filter on? Or is that just natural flare?
This is fire
thanks Mark. I have habit of already liking your videos before watching. I just know I'll learn something.
that's faith

Never done that but wouldn’t trust it because it’s not filling up the volume of a room or navigating the nuance of dof and objects
@@markbone Yes, of course. It was a passing question that came to my mind whilst watching your very interesting content. Thanks Mark.
Excited for this upcoming film! Looks so great and beautiful 🔥
