    One thing I'd disagree on 1:51 This one flew over most beginner's head. To be able to record in LOG and get good cinematic color grading, you must have 10bit 422 camera. YOU CAN'T JUST GET ANY CAMERA. If you read the paper, Log profiles are not meant to work in an 8-bit environment... It is too harsh. THAT'S why you'd get many artifacts and have difficulty keying out green screen. It has to have 10-bit to use log profiles. If you have a 8-bit, you can use HLG or cinelike

      @foxandcrowncreative  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you so much for reaching out with your comment. I appreciate it a lot! Absolutely, a lot of what you said is true and I would totally agree. However, with that said, I just kindly wanted to point out that, in the video, I actually never mentioned that you can just use any Log profile on any camera specifically to get a cinematic look. I said that there are plenty of cameras on the market today that can get you a great image, and that Log can help when color grading, if that's an option, because it will give you more flexibility. I personally like to use a Log profile for my footage. But you don't need it. There are many elements within the language of cinema that make up a cinematic image beyond just the color grade or even the camera, and that was what I was referring to.
      Although, I have used the Sony A7III on my channel before, in 8-bit S-Log2 and it's always worked out great. In fact, a couple of the BTS clips of me on a set in this video were shot with the Sony A7III in 8-bit in S-Log2.

      Thank you! Absolutely, I totally know the feeling. It was super difficult for me in the begging as well, my mind would just go blank as soon as the camera started recording and I felt very uncomfortable, but the more videos I published the easier it became over time. After doing this for some time now, I still get nervous right before filming myself, but it's definitely gotten a lot easier and super fun!

      @@foxandcrowncreative Yes, the most difficult thing is the story, but it's time to express all the things that go on in my head during the day, all the crazy situations you can think up in everyday life. How do you build your stories, do you write scripts first? Or do you work freely from set to set?

    • @foxandcrowncreative
      @foxandcrowncreative  9 місяців тому +1

      Absolutely! For UA-cam videos, I plan and write everything out first and try to have a basic outline. Sometimes in the form of a script and sometimes in bullet points. This is because I want for everything in the video to connect cohesively, and it helps me to remember which part of the video I'm filming as I move from set to set. It will sometimes take a few days to film everything I need for a video, so this helps a lot. In the beginning, I heavily relied on these notes, but now I kind of use them as handrails, just to make sure I'm on track, and I kind of riff a bit from there.
      In terms of the story, I like to use a lot of the experiences I've had on my own journey and write that in to the topic of the video. This will usually motivate the creativity behind the footage I need to film for the video as well. I have a playlist on my channel where I go into more depth about my entire UA-cam video production process, including how I plan my videos, that could be helpful as well. I left a link below if you're interested.

      Absolutely I’m happy to help! I used a C-stand by Neewer for the overhead shot. I love these and have been using them for about 6 or 7 years now. These c-stands do come with the grips heads, I think mine came with a couple of them. I love these ones because their heavy duty and the grip heads have the metal teeth on them that lock it in really well which gives me peace of mind in terms of safety. I’ve left a link to the C-stands I like to use below.

    Any trick with using action camera for movie?

    • @foxandcrowncreative
      @foxandcrowncreative  4 місяці тому

      Hey, great question! I truthfully don't get to use my action camera often. However, when I have used it for a cinematic sequence, I'll usually stick with linear mode on my GoPro. Just doing this really makes a huge difference. Also, if you have it available to you, I would recommend filming in 10 bit color and using a flat color profile because this will give you flexibility in post production. I also almost always film in 24FPS. Beyond that, just following cinematic principles like shooting on the shadow side, smooth and motivated camera movement, and composition and framing can go a really long way.
      I would love to create a cinematic sequence with an action camera at some point if that would help. That would be a lot of fun!
      I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching the video my friend, it truly means a lot. Cheers!

    • @foxandcrowncreative
      @foxandcrowncreative  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you so much! Absolutely I'm happy to share. I used a Neewer Heavy Duty C-stand with a grip head and grip arm. I then placed a second grip head on the grip arm, making sure both grip heads are tightened on the right side for safety. Then, on the second grip head, I used this mounting pin that has a 1/4-20 thread on one side. So I just attached that to the Sony A7IV and then attached the mounting pin to the second grip head that was on the grip arm. Then just made slight adjustments from there.

      That's awesome, I'm so glad the video could help! I'm actually working on opening a mentorship program soon! But in the meantime, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help if I can, or maybe I can answer your question in future video.
      Thank you so much for watching and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers, friend!
