The last seven I’ve been pushed into a hybrid role so like most artist, I love the idea of possibly working on passion projects of more of a documentary style/feel. I respect everything you got out of this assignment and really appreciate you shareing it with us. when I started shooting video with my canon 5D Mark III it was never about gear for me. I was just amazed that we can make what we have look like wath the pros shoot. Now I’m rocking the canon R5C which I absolutely love because it’s a relatively affordable photo camera with all the little cinema upgrades that I continue to learn and grow on.

Hi Blase Pivovar.I have a question that I would like to know, why youtube cinematographers, the ones that I can see on the front page, their videos are very solid in fundamentals, including technique and narrative rhythm, it seems like many of the videos that I randomly click in, I can see that the basic skills are solid and often have little to do with the number of fans, but the situation in China is more variable. My question is, what kind of market environment does this happen in and what is the state of their film learning path? Thank you so much!

Hey Jeffery! Thanks for the question. I actually am not sure I have a good answer to that with only ever living in the United States.

Appreciate you asking me!

hey man, iam on video ativism, social-eco stuff, since my house burned down in the portuguese forest fires of 2017. like thers a urge to use your weapon of choice (video in my case) to give visibility to just causes. i could talk and ask here for many things ( do check my playlist video ativism here in youtube), but my main question is: i live with very little money, is the xs20 a better option than the xh2s in terms of price-quality- usability for volunteer work? i ask this in the perspective of knowing that when you dont have money you should invest in the best option. is the xh2s stand for the next 5-7 years?

Hi. I like your feature film. But I'm not too fond of your backdrop. It is really good that you consider the aesthetics of the interview scenes, but I think the aesthetics of the backdrop are far from the context. It is good if the background of an interview in a subtle way underlines, reinforces and leads the viewer on the right track, and it is important that it does not signal anything other than the subject, as it will often confuse or distract some of the audience, stylistically your backdrop is far from the subject. I occasionally make videos about refugee projects and other projects for children, and am always on the lookout for useful backgrounds, notice boards with information or drawings, posters and the like that have to do with the project. It is also not always bad if you can hear the activities in the background, children who are happy etc. or images with children playing in the background, as long as the sound level is appropriate so that it does not destroy speech understanding, and the background is appropriately blurred. Having written all this, I hasten to add that the backdrop is only a small thing and that I really like your film. It made me put myself in the children and grown-up's place, which must be the success criterion for this type of production. It might have been good with a few more interviews with the children, but I know it can be difficult for many reasons. The pictures and lighting are very good and the editing is smooth and the cuts are perfectly timed. Good luck with your next productions😊. Mike
