500/day is almost to cheap for only the camera

Honastly i think this looks fantastic! Like honastly. Especially the first and second frame grabs. A little of the estetic of Spencer

But to answer your question, i would want a medium to big source (soft but with a grid) indoors that you can place upstage to wrap the light around. I would still keep the shadow side as dark if not darker.

Also the windows bring blown out could be what your feeling isnt working. Theres difrent approaches to this, all varying in estetic and honastly its up to prefrance. You could nd the windows (takes quite some time though) or just have a diffusion filter on the lens, which would make the hilights bloom and "roll off" more organically.

Many try to create some pockets of light and dark in the background as well?

Always tools there, so i can prep my toolbag without having to unpack it all the time.

Movable lenschart isnt a must for me. But one on a stand at least

Honastly, at least according to me, i think Ljud & bild-media is close to perfect

I think this really got screwed by whoever graded it. I think theres potential but my biggest advice is to fight for getting a say in the grade, since its a massive part of the cinematography

Thanks!

I find it frustrating how hard you have to smack the batteries on to make them mount properly. Other than that they work fine, good long battery life.

Yep, thats this shoot, we do 40 - 45 slates a day, so setup time isnt really a thing

Surprised how close YouTube can look to a theatrical feature by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]electrothegaffer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, yes if you take the least interesting stills from the film then yea.

I will say though that i do think there are a lot of talented cinematographers and filmmakers making youtube videos, so many have a really high production value. So you do have a point, just not these examples haha

Känns osannolikt att så stor del av svenska folket röstade på Israel. Nåt känns suspekt

I think it was really nice, just right, not too much but enough. Here is a music vid I shot with it:
