You're welcome brother! I'm planning a video like that soon, just trying to figure out the best way to present it :)
Dude. Awesome video! Could you tell me what profile you shot this in? Cinetone? SLog3? Cine4?
Your videos are amazing and you are very knowledgeable. I have some questions. Is there a reason or advantage to shooting this handheld without using a gimbal? Also, there is a question I have had for a while and haven't been able to get any answers. Maybe yu can shed some light. I have been looking at cinematic videos shot in flat profiles like slog or with Sony mirrorless cameras general. I see that even when everything is done right, like the lighting, the coloring, the exposure angles and movement... etc exceptionally well, most of the final video scenes always seem to be a little more blurry or more unfocused than I would have expected they would be, even though they may look so cinematic. If you are watching a show on Netflix, or TV (I'm in USA) or a Hollywood movie, there have that sharpness and detail, like their camera is truly in focus on the person or object, and yes they use much more expensive cameras but I don't think should be the cause of this particular observation. Focusing is easier than the other accomplishments of these cameras or cinematographers, I would think. Have you noticed that, and do you see what I am saying? Could it be that the less-expensive camera has trouble with executing a low depth of field choice without a tradeoff in sharpness? I see the same with your videos and other talented filmmakers... and you are an expert so I wonder if you see this and know what I am talking about with insights as to why...
Super Video, danke

Hey Jacques, you are one of my favorites on KZread. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on getting proper color balance and Custom color balance on the FX3. I have been been shooting for over 30 years and still learn from you. I am more of a Director but film myself a lot. Sometimes I have trouble getting proper white balance on the fly with my FX3 due to my inexperience trying to do it on the fly on a shoot. Thanks a lot

Thanks my friend! I hope to do one like that soon, just have to get a few other videos out first. I think White Balance is such an overlooked part of the process so totally worth it!

Thanks bro! Haha you're right, I guess we took so long in between takes that she didn't sweat enough overall!
Just found out your video, great stuff! btw for gym and more action based movement shots, do you shoot in 50fps/60fps or 25/30?
Could you go into detail regarding your camera settings on the Sony in this low light situation to avoid grain? How are you exposing? Are you blowing out the lights in the background? Would love to see your exposure on the back of your camera. Thank you for these videos, I've learned a TON from you.!!!
@jacques_crafford
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks man, so glad to hear that! I try to expose for the highlights as much as possible because with the Phantom LUTs you don't have to overexpose but as for low noise I try to stick to the Native ISO and only push it up if I really have to.

Excellent breakdown Jacques, very much enjoyed the video. It was an interesting perspective to see the Foley artist come in for the final sound design. Really adds to the overall immersion of the video! With regard to your white balance setting, are you keeping a custom white balance set at 5600K given that the key light is at 5600K and the Nanlite pavotubes are at 6300K? If you were working with a performer with darker skin tones, would you alter the custom white balance setting? Thanks!

2 жыл бұрын
Hey Jonathan! Apologies for the late reply, been traveling a bit. Thanks for your kind words. To answer your question, yes I mostly stuck to 5600K and I would stick to the same regardless of skintone.
My question is how bright do you normally have your key light? I know it changes depending on situation/angle/distance from subject, but I’m having a hard time getting the entire subject lit in a dark place without being too bright on the face or muscle focused on
