Let me start off by saying, I have ZERO interest in video. If all my cameras were limited to 144p in exchange for better high ISO performance or battery life I would take that hit in an instant. That said, I am still here watching the video all the way through(including the PhaseOne ad). I'm still hitting the thumbs up. I'm still commenting on the video. All because every one of those actions helps promote the video through the UA-cam algorithm. Hopefully it will keep Zack around and encourage him to keep putting out quality content. No Zack = less fun on UA-cam(4 light modifiers/crop or crap were AWESOME), less great info(White seamless/lighting videos) and a feed quickly devolving into gear reviews/unboxings😢
Zack, you’re an amazing person. Your willingness to share your insights on life and work is something rare. When I saw that you were posting new content, I went back and watched all your videos again. Hopefully the algorithm sees it and helps your channel. Let us know if and how we can help you and your channel. I wish you all the best to your new content.
Some UA-camrs got a million views and bought a C500 MKII just to speak in front of a camera ... and Zack uses an iPhone to shoot himself with pretty much same results while talking to real people ... not millionaires. I admire you man. Thanks for coming back. Keep going!!!
Hi Zack, the first video i saw from you was earlier today "why you don't win a contest". "How to make better videos with your phone" is only the second one i have seen from you. I am an EE engineer and i was laid off from a multinational company in 2015 after a long and very satisfying career. When that happened i decided to disconnected from the tv world that i was used to and jump right into the information highway ( UA-cam). I don't do much plain entertainment per se, i am getting old so time is precious and i use as much time as possible learning. I have watch hundreds and hundreds of you tubers and content hours and i am finally getting to the point were i want to "really" start my own you tube channel. This is the first time that i have taken time to write a comment in the past five years. I have written this long preamble trying to convey to you how much i really appreciate what you have to say and what you have shown me in these two videos. "This" particular video has really convince me that you don't need a big investment up front and that is more important to think clearly to maximize resources, have good content and to be honest and truthful with the message. Thank you, very, very, much!!!!
Thank you. It is refreshing to get advice on video production that is not all about hardware and high end production, instead it is about how a small video producer like me (just a little UA-cam channel where I share my modest ideas) can produce quality content without the huge outlay of cash, and more importantly, time. Always enjoy your videos, good to see you back.
In this context I will always remember a very valuable lesson I learned from one of your workshops: "if you don't know where to start: start somewhere!"
Hey Zack. Great to see you back. I have been following your work and learning from you since the day of your blog on white seamless and also watching your creative live class for all 3 days. You, David Hobby and Joe McNally all helped me and many others like me with the love of photography. At the time my life was very challenging in every aspect and my camera saved me. I wish you the best for your future endeavors and I hope you get of that rock and see sunny days ahead.
I’d love to be a bit more open about but the short version I can completely relate to small things being like mountains!! Absolutely know where you are coming from there.
Such a genuinely great video. Thanks man. Tips and stuff were on point, but the bit about your blocks that get in the way, the black cloud that follows you, made me hold my breath to hear every word. Thank you for being so open. Always admired your work from way back when buying your first CreativeLive videos. Still a top educator...big respect!!
Inspiring. Been feeling exactly the same, with cloud and the rock too. But never been able to actually verbalize it until you hit the nail.on the head. Great to know it's the same for others and not just me. Great stuff! Thanks again.
You've been (seemingly) speaking to me since I first watched you on creative live. The last section of this video is about turning up for clients but not having the energy to turn up for yourself hit home with me. Thanks for making this video and I really hope you make more!
Zack, I've always appreciated your honesty and authenticity when dealing with the challenges of living a creative life, as much as all the technical information you share. Thank you!
Glad to see you making videos again Zack. Your old tutorials helped me become better at photography. Thank you! BTW I've recently bought me a couple of 2-wheeled vehicles and started doing some motovlogging, getting good audio on a motorcycle was a challenge at first but I think I have made progress. I mix photography sometimes with my content, shooting my bikes from time to time, applying the principles I've learned from you and David Hobby and others. I'm still using Fuji cams XT1 and XT20, all influenced by you and David. What can I say, I'm a fan! Hope you can check what I have so far on my channel and let me know what you think. Nice home btw. Thanks again!
I have to say I feel you on dealing with issues on a daily basis! The audio sounded great. when the audio is good the video (It's not) can be bad and still be watched unless the video gives you motion sickness! TBH your Phone is good enough to create content video or photography! Thank You, Zack 🙏 Right with you on the glasses!
Hey Zack.. Pradeep here. This video has been on my feed for a couple of days and finally got to see it.. you are the man Zack.. this is one of the most simple and practical videos i have seen. Thank you for making it.. and yes, would love to see a video on video editing with Lumafusion. By the way.. when is your next trip to Chennai? You need to try those Kababs we spoke about remember? :).
I have the same issue with the old person eyes. As soon as I hit my 40s, the eyeballs went so far downhill. Makes this photography obsession I’ve had most of my life a lot more of a pain in the ass. Glad to see you back, I always enjoy your videos and books and such :)
Thanks for the video Zack 👍 I too have been under a rock for about a year and a half now. A video like this does help inspire us to get off our asses and be creative. #YouRock 💯
Awesome and genuine feel to this video Zack. It felt like I was sitting at the table and just having a conversation with you. Thank you for the inspiration.
I don’t want to make any video with myself in it (at least at the present). But I find your video very informative and entertaining at the same time. It is so good that I want to drop you a comment (which l don’t normally do). Yes, I would love to see your Luma Fusion tutorial video, (and what ever you want to make).
I have been using the LumaFusion app for iPad for about 6 months or so. Incredibly useful and capable tool. Every time you think that you have pretty much found the limits of that app, you discover a new feature. You can literally add LUTs in LumaFusion, which is just insane to me. I had Filmic Pro, in the past. It wasn't bad, but didn't really blow me away, either. I think that it would be a fantastic app for someone who absolutely needs some of the features that it offers, but only has a phone to use for shooting. Modern phones have such good video quality straight out of camera, though, that I found myself not really using Filmic Pro, even though I already had it.
I’ve been shooting with the iPhone 11 Pro and there’s an issue I can’t figure out with the default camera app. When shooting video it does some sort of auto HDR something. If you look at the clip in this video where I’m talking about background (around 8:35) you’ll see the walls behind me “flickering”. It’s really noticeable in bright shots outdoors. I’ve had the sky pop from pure white to blue in the middle of a video. I have turned off the HDR function for stills but I can’t figure out why it’s doing it for video. This is where Filmic has saved my ass on a few clips.
@@ZackAriasATL I can definitely see how FilmicPro would be a much better option, in that case. Does it do it even when you lock the focus & exposure before recording? For example, in photo or video you can tap the screen to lock a focus point, and even drag up/down to change/set the exposure before recording. If you do that, does it still override and start going in and out of the "HDR" mode?
The video looks great. After this video makes the rounds, I have a feeling there will be a lot of content that looks just like this. Also, I love the idea of making things SIMPLE. It's great to see you again!
I have paid for two lav mics that I try to use on my Note 10. My issue is on both the signal is to loud, far to much white noise to room noise. Is there a way to control the gain on lav mics when using them on your phone?
@@ZackAriasATL Thanks man I will try that. By the way you are an excellent creator. You have a great story. Watching this video helped me a lot and not so much for the gear talk but more so for the heart to heart stuff. Keep the content coming.
Great video Mr Arias very good practical advice, thanks, Here's a topic you may want to consider, "The camera does not make the photographer" It probably has happened to many if not all enthusiast photographers and that is maxing out your credit card in order to buy that good professional looking expensive camera that will make you the greatest photographer of the world, only to find out your photos still suck even with an expensive camera.
Hello Zack, so good you’re back with us again. Sorry to hear things have not been going to plan in recent years and also, like me, you’re beginning to feel the ravages of age. Please continue to make your videos, small and simple or otherwise. They are so informative in a practical sense but also hugely inspiring in an everyday getting through life sense.
Nice video Zack, I’ve learn a lot, yes it would be nice to learn more about Filmic Pro and LumaFusion. Thanks for taking the time for making those video I really appreciate.
Hi Zack, just watched this iPhone UA-cam. Would love to see a separate video on Filmic Pro and its accompanying app plus a separate video on LumaFusion. Great UA-cam by the way, love your simplicity. Stay Safe!
Thanks for showing your vulnerability, Zack. The human element of your videos is what's needed on UA-cam in the photography, videography and hybrid-shooter communities. You rock and keep shinning sir!
Hi Zack. Awesome video. My wife has been creating video content. So being a camera nerd I built her an awesome little system with a heavy duty wheeled stand, holding lights, a microphone and a camera. She tried using it once or twice. Found the camera too complicated. Went back to using her phone. Your setup is awesome. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video Zack. Would love to see more on your Filmic Pro and Lumafusion workflow. I have been using Lumafusion for a year now and it is the best money I have spent on an application on my iPad. Keep making content and doing your thing.
Many thanks for an excellent production Zack. Would really like to see a Lumafusion video if you have the time. I really appreciate your presentation format and candid content. Learned a lot today and am off to give Lumafusion a go. Happy Shooting and thanks again. Dave
I found this all very inspiring. I goes along well with some Creative Live videos on iPhone videography filling in some gaps. Thanks for sharing a keep coming with more stuff.
Great material. I have shot mostly stills and recently video shorts, timelapses etc. I have been using KineMaster and I just discovered LumaFusion, so I'd love to see a video on just that! I have followed your courses over the years since the OneLight DVDs. Sorry to hear about the obstacles and hope you can get past them. Saludos from México!
I missed you Zack! I've really been enjoying the new content, but also so far really like the slide shows on the TV in the background. They haven't been distracting, and provide something extra to view during monologues.
i can highly relate to your struggle... i'm in that boat too working +45hr/w already and i can't barely talk/think by the end of the week. Knowing that, that's why i post maybe a video very 2 months. It's fun to do but very demanding even shooting with an phone is too much... it's also good to see a video about that and not thoses who tries to deny it by saying that is easy and/or you can do it if you want to. Keep it up man, your just too great !
Man, I so get that whole “it’s just too much” thing. Glad to see you back. By all means, reduce that friction. You’re kicking out shockingly good image quality (way better than a significant number of other youtubers). If I were in your shoes and wanted to tweak anything, the only real change I’d make is probably the camera, but only to shrink the DOF a tiny bit so the background isn’t quite so in focus. It doesn’t have to totally blown out, but it does tend to be less noticeable if it’s pleasantly soft. This of course is all stuff you already know, and I’d rather see content that was easier for you to make than getting caught up in that stuff.
Ok man... I'm gonna do it. I don't have 100 bucks for a light, but I'm literally going to use a bright led lamp that the fridge installer left and didn't want to come back for and I'm putting a diffuser on it. I'll make a new channel. Thank you. Thank you
That’s f*cking awesome!!!! I love it! Hahahaha! I hope you get to 10 million subscribers one day and you’ll be like... I started with a light someone left at my house and couldn’t be bothered to come back for. Get it!
The tv is distracting. I focus on you, then the image changes and my eyes want to see what’s on tv. Everything else is perfect. Simple yet clean and professional looking.
Great information. I really appreciate your real world view. The struggle of seemingly insurmountable tasks and making the bed and cleaning the house being a huge accomplishment some days. Thank you.
Hi Zack. 1st time long time. Been a follower, fan for years. I still use my OneLight DVD for a kick in the pants sometimes. Now, I have no really clever comment to add beyond; I truly appreciate your work and these videos. I too struggle with clouds and find myself falling into the information consumption trap instead of just grabbing my gear and doing something. That said, it was that rut that lead me here to "consume" more content, however this time I do feel inspired to create over consume. Do you have any wisdom or advice for kicking the lethargy away to create? I recall a blog post you did a few years ago along these lines you put together discussing (I think) your struggle with seasonal issues. I have a slight physical disability, which is a bummer, that sometimes gets in the way, but the real battle is often motivation. Not yet doing video, still working on stills and all that go into that world. Ok. Thanks Zack, truly appreciate the gift of your experience and knowledge as you share away.
Hi Zack Your video has to be the best instructional video on how to shoot UA-cam videos using the iPhone. You really had a lot of great ideas. I especially like the FiLMiC Pro remote so that I can use my iPad to monitor what my front facing camera just seeing when I shoot. Please continue to make these videos. For me, I want to start making UA-cam videos on how to edit photographs using both Lightroom and Photoshop. I think I will also be covering some Luma fusion tutorials. Thanks for your great videos. Pat Hogarty
Hello Zack, thanks for the great video, I've really missed your humor and that video came just in time for what I have planned coming up the next weeks. Also thank you very much for sharing your personal struggle. I have a little cloud following me as well from time to time so I this really resonating with me. And I also have a daily commute of 1,5 hours to the office. Which really sucks.
OH, and Zack? I'm a pro photog for 40+ years, and know all too well, I'm afraid, the challenges of getting something worthwhile done on any given day. Should I update my site? Send out an email? Do a shoot for myself cause I can't look at anything I have on my site... but then who do I market to? Why???? So, congrats on waking up and putting your feet on the floor. Keep going, but PACE YOURSELF!
ZACK! I missed you, glad you're back and yakking and Zacking. You DO have the gift of gab. I've been a fan since watching what I think was your very first vid, shot on some kind of little camera (flip cam or something?) that was popular for a year or so, you amusingly poked fun at doing something about photoshop BS but then turned serious as you talked about your father... you strapped the camera on top of your car as I recall, and went to visit him... that was a LONG TIME ago, right? ANYHOW, this is a really great not-so-short vid full of great info... and you are soooooo smooth now, calm and collected and sincere and, well, hope you're feeling better.
So helpful Zack. Thanks! How in the world do you get such a clean export though? I use lights, I have ISO all the way down, I have the settings all the way up on Filmic Pro.. but I still deal with crazy amounts of noise. How do you get such a clean picture? Are you removing sharpness in post? Specific export settings?
I’m not doing anything special really. Shoot in a decent amount of light. I usually shoot at 2k 30p and export to 1080 at default settings and... that’s it. No extra anything.
Hey Zach, glad to see you are back. This video is very up my alley right now, since im trying to make my youtube vids on my music a little better but i wanted to say that like ten years ago now, with the one light seminars online and stuff you helped make me a working photographer, got me into photography school and all, it led to a career. Thank you.
Let me start off by saying, I have ZERO interest in video. If all my cameras were limited to 144p in exchange for better high ISO performance or battery life I would take that hit in an instant.
That said, I am still here watching the video all the way through(including the PhaseOne ad). I'm still hitting the thumbs up. I'm still commenting on the video. All because every one of those actions helps promote the video through the UA-cam algorithm. Hopefully it will keep Zack around and encourage him to keep putting out quality content.
No Zack = less fun on UA-cam(4 light modifiers/crop or crap were AWESOME), less great info(White seamless/lighting videos) and a feed quickly devolving into gear reviews/unboxings😢
Thank you SO MUCH Jimmy. 144p. 😂😂😂
It's the Zach Arias flue, hard to get rid off, but instead of the real flue, it makes you feel better !! ;-)
@@ZackAriasATL Think nothing of it. I'm doing it for purely selfish, "Need me more Zack", reasons😜
Zack, you’re an amazing person. Your willingness to share your insights on life and work is something rare. When I saw that you were posting new content, I went back and watched all your videos again. Hopefully the algorithm sees it and helps your channel. Let us know if and how we can help you and your channel. I wish you all the best to your new content.
I really appreciate that Jason!
The first 18 mins were valuable, the last 7 minutes were priceless.
Thank you for staying to the end. I appreciate that. It’s the message I really wanted to get out there.

😂😂😂 thank you!
Hi Zack, the first video i saw from you was earlier today "why you don't win a contest". "How to make better videos with your phone" is only the second one i have seen from you. I am an EE engineer and i was laid off from a multinational company in 2015 after a long and very satisfying career. When that happened i decided to disconnected from the tv world that i was used to and jump right into the information highway ( UA-cam). I don't do much plain entertainment per se, i am getting old so time is precious and i use as much time as possible learning.

A whole video editing video with LumaFusion from the master of one light?! YES, PLS!
I don’t mind the TV. Especially when your cat is playing with fishes.
😂
It’s so great to see you creating content again. I would love a Filmic Pro video. Could not have come at a better time. Thanks Zack!
Will do! Thanks, Laurel!

Thank you so much Rehan! Glad to be of service.
I needed this video. Not for the technical part, like you I have lights and cameras, but for that impulse to start making more videos. Thank you!
Thank you for waiting for the meat and potatoes of what I want to get across.
Great video Zack. Rooted in simplicity. Love the approach.
I’d love to be a bit more open about but the short version I can completely relate to small things being like mountains!! Absolutely know where you are coming from there.
so glad you are back to producing content for your page I like the way you teach and you were really missed
Thank you!
Ahhh another Zack Arias video. All of his content has such good energy, honesty, knowledge and a goal of helping others. Such a good soul.

Thank you Lisa!
This was absolutely awesome video man! Anymore info on software would be fantastic
Both those apps looks neat. Would not mind seeing a video on them. (Though, for me it would be mostly for entertainment since I dont do video)
Will do!
Thanks Zack. Valuable as always.
I'd be interested in a FilMic Pro video.

Super helpful. Super enjoyable. Lash Day with Zack rocks. Thank you Zack!
I'd get rid of the TV and maybe a subtle colour gradient from another light source, maybe? Great series Zack, good to see you back on UA-cam.
Great video Mr Arias very good practical advice, thanks, Here's a topic you may want to consider, "The camera does not make the photographer" It probably has happened to many if not all enthusiast photographers and that is maxing out your credit card in order to buy that good professional looking expensive camera that will make you the greatest photographer of the world, only to find out your photos still suck even with an expensive camera.
You should see how bad my photos are on a Phase One. I’ve shot some truly horrible photos with that thing!
You're the best! Always inspiring, motivating & activating .. and making it easy & attainable. thank you!!

Great video Zack and welcome back are you still using fujifilm ?
I am!
Glad to see you again Zack, the right person at the right time. Thanks. Excited to see the future tutorials for Filmic Pro and Lumafusion.
A video about Filmic Pro you say? A video about LumaFusion you say? Why, yes please. The TV with your work on looks great. Thank you.

I found this all very inspiring. I goes along well with some Creative Live videos on iPhone videography filling in some gaps. Thanks for sharing a keep coming with more stuff.
Great material. I have shot mostly stills and recently video shorts, timelapses etc. I have been using KineMaster and I just discovered LumaFusion, so I'd love to see a video on just that! I have followed your courses over the years since the OneLight DVDs.
Sorry to hear about the obstacles and hope you can get past them.
Saludos from México!
Gracias, Lee!
Great Job! Thank you for this! Pls continue with the video guides you were saying you would like to do.
As usual, your teaching is right on the money, Zack. Thanks for just simplifying all of this. So very helpful!
Thanks Seshu!
Simple, informative, useful content, please do more! 👍🏻
I missed you Zack! I've really been enjoying the new content, but also so far really like the slide shows on the TV in the background. They haven't been distracting, and provide something extra to view during monologues.
Thank you for the feedback on that!
How have you been doing?
@@ZackAriasATL I've been well. A few small bits of drama here and there, just life.
Nothing compared to a whirlwind.
one of the camera guys on youtube that I know I can really trust. Huge thanks for content!
Thank you!
i can highly relate to your struggle... i'm in that boat too working +45hr/w already and i can't barely talk/think by the end of the week. Knowing that, that's why i post maybe a video very 2 months. It's fun to do but very demanding even shooting with an phone is too much... it's also good to see a video about that and not thoses who tries to deny it by saying that is easy and/or you can do it if you want to. Keep it up man, your just too great !
Thanks Dave!
It’s reply nice to have you back on the tubes. And yes, a Filmic review would be awesome.
Thanks Zack, I feel ya about how hard it can be some days. All power to you!
Nice to have you back. You have been missed. Love the delivery and topic
Welcome back man! A lumafusion video would be awesome!
Man, I so get that whole “it’s just too much” thing. Glad to see you back. By all means, reduce that friction. You’re kicking out shockingly good image quality (way better than a significant number of other youtubers). If I were in your shoes and wanted to tweak anything, the only real change I’d make is probably the camera, but only to shrink the DOF a tiny bit so the background isn’t quite so in focus. It doesn’t have to totally blown out, but it does tend to be less noticeable if it’s pleasantly soft. This of course is all stuff you already know, and I’d rather see content that was easier for you to make than getting caught up in that stuff.
Thanks Adrian. It’s all about baby steps for me right now. 👍
As ever.......Superb! Thank you Zac,
Ok man... I'm gonna do it. I don't have 100 bucks for a light, but I'm literally going to use a bright led lamp that the fridge installer left and didn't want to come back for and I'm putting a diffuser on it. I'll make a new channel. Thank you. Thank you
That’s f*cking awesome!!!! I love it! Hahahaha! I hope you get to 10 million subscribers one day and you’ll be like... I started with a light someone left at my house and couldn’t be bothered to come back for. Get it!
You made me smile today. I would like to see more of LumaFusion.
Will do!
Thank you so much! I wish Internet can have more contents like these!
YES! Please hit the filmic pro tutorial pleeeeeeeeease!
The tv is distracting. I focus on you, then the image changes and my eyes want to see what’s on tv. Everything else is perfect. Simple yet clean and professional looking.
Noted
Totally agree! That door frame is almost invisible in comparison with changing pictures on TV!
Nice video good info (thanks), but I do find the tv flashing images to be very distracting.
A number of people said that. I’ve now changed things up. Check out my latest Stuff & Things video. 👍👍👍
Very good tips, Zack. Thanks
YES.... LASH DAY!!!!! awesome Zack!
Great information. I really appreciate your real world view. The struggle of seemingly insurmountable tasks and making the bed and cleaning the house being a huge accomplishment some days. Thank you.
Every day I make the bed. It’s the little accomplishments that get me through sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Loved the way you explain sir
thank you Zack, always loved your content
thanks sir zack for tutorial your the best
So cool to see you and hear you. Thank you Zack.
Thank you, man. 👌🏾
Thank you so helpful on all the tech levels + the real talk!
Great video. Thanks!
Great to see you back Zack. Be well mate 🍻🇦🇺
My comment: I am so glad you are back, Zack.
Thank you!
Super helpful and simple to understand. Thanks.
Yes please to the "how to's" for the apps you've mentioned.
yes! zack is back. welcome again.
Hi Zack. 1st time long time. Been a follower, fan for years. I still use my OneLight DVD for a kick in the pants sometimes. Now, I have no really clever comment to add beyond; I truly appreciate your work and these videos. I too struggle with clouds and find myself falling into the information consumption trap instead of just grabbing my gear and doing something. That said, it was that rut that lead me here to "consume" more content, however this time I do feel inspired to create over consume. Do you have any wisdom or advice for kicking the lethargy away to create? I recall a blog post you did a few years ago along these lines you put together discussing (I think) your struggle with seasonal issues. I have a slight physical disability, which is a bummer, that sometimes gets in the way, but the real battle is often motivation. Not yet doing video, still working on stills and all that go into that world.
Ok. Thanks Zack, truly appreciate the gift of your experience and knowledge as you share away.
Thank you Doug. I’m making a video about getting out of the rut and fighting off depression.
#CreateOverComsume should be a tshirt!!!
@@ZackAriasATL Thank you so much Zack! I sincerely appreciate your reply and will absolutely be eager to hear your take on this. :-)
@@ZackAriasATL Ha, I agree! Now more than ever. ;-)
Hi Zack
Your video has to be the best instructional video on how to shoot UA-cam videos using the iPhone. You really had a lot of great ideas. I especially like the FiLMiC Pro remote so that I can use my iPad to monitor what my front facing camera just seeing when I shoot. Please continue to make these videos. For me, I want to start making UA-cam videos on how to edit photographs using both Lightroom and Photoshop. I think I will also be covering some Luma fusion tutorials.
Thanks for your great videos.
Pat Hogarty
Thanks Pat!
LumaFusion ... yes please!
Excellent video - great to see you back, Zack!
🙌🙌🙌
Get a fireside screensaver for that tv
Hello Zack, thanks for the great video, I've really missed your humor and that video came just in time for what I have planned coming up the next weeks. Also thank you very much for sharing your personal struggle. I have a little cloud following me as well from time to time so I this really resonating with me. And I also have a daily commute of 1,5 hours to the office. Which really sucks.
The commute sucks. Thank god for podcasts!
Great video!
Thank you, Denise!
You are helping a lot. Thanks!
OH, and Zack? I'm a pro photog for 40+ years, and know all too well, I'm afraid, the challenges of getting something worthwhile done on any given day. Should I update my site? Send out an email? Do a shoot for myself cause I can't look at anything I have on my site... but then who do I market to? Why???? So, congrats on waking up and putting your feet on the floor. Keep going, but PACE YOURSELF!
Pacing myself is a concern. Thank you for stating that. I appreciate it.
ZACK! I missed you, glad you're back and yakking and Zacking. You DO have the gift of gab. I've been a fan since watching what I think was your very first vid, shot on some kind of little camera (flip cam or something?) that was popular for a year or so, you amusingly poked fun at doing something about photoshop BS but then turned serious as you talked about your father... you strapped the camera on top of your car as I recall, and went to visit him... that was a LONG TIME ago, right? ANYHOW, this is a really great not-so-short vid full of great info... and you are soooooo smooth now, calm and collected and sincere and, well, hope you're feeling better.
Yakking and Zacking!!! Love it! Thank you so much for your kind words. And you remember correctly! It was a flip cam!
I would like that video on Luma
So helpful Zack. Thanks! How in the world do you get such a clean export though? I use lights, I have ISO all the way down, I have the settings all the way up on Filmic Pro.. but I still deal with crazy amounts of noise. How do you get such a clean picture? Are you removing sharpness in post? Specific export settings?
I’m not doing anything special really. Shoot in a decent amount of light. I usually shoot at 2k 30p and export to 1080 at default settings and... that’s it. No extra anything.
Well done, brother. Very valid points and sooooo recognisable in so many ways. Keep it up!
Thank you my friend. I know you know what I deal with!
Hey Zach, glad to see you are back. This video is very up my alley right now, since im trying to make my youtube vids on my music a little better but i wanted to say that like ten years ago now, with the one light seminars online and stuff you helped make me a working photographer, got me into photography school and all, it led to a career. Thank you.
That’s awesome! I’m glad to be of service!
