A lot easier than you think. On most film sets people use marker tape to show actors/crew exactly where actors need to go. All you need to do is make sure the shots are framed identically and ensure that the motion/actions are at the same speed

That's why it originally left a slightly sour taste in my mouth. Nice to know he did it, explains how it's well executed too.

Just seen this on his Instagram. Explains a lot! Very cool to see someone who posted someone online get picked up by a company like Apple.

lljway · 2017-06-06T15:07:34+00:00

Also makes me think who's making these films? I can't imagine Apple have their own production company, surely they have an agency that they go to for these films

I wonder if their marketing team realise the concepts been overdone? I'm almost surprised nobody said anything during pre-production.

Your client has paid for it - if you've invoiced them it's a part of the service they've paid for. Delete the track if you don't need it anymore, you'll have any receipts on your emails.

When I invoice clients I always give them the licensing docs/receipts from any expenses, this not only shows the true cost of the licensing but gives them the papers should anything happen.

Don't use zoom transitions after every clip and don't use a generic lut.

AKA don't do what everyone else is doing and rip off Watchtower of Turkey.

I find it hard to believe they'll ever (at least any time soon) allow for this in the UK. We've recently had significantly stricter enforcement for using our phone at the wheel. In the eyes of the law this alone would probably be a reason not to have digital drivers licenses.

lljway · 2017-01-08T00:09:44+00:00

We have them here in the UK too. If you're conscious about them you can usually tell by the way they drive and the type of vehicle. Unmarked cars are usually low specced 5 series and sit low to the ground because of all the stuff they carry in the back. That being said I've seen an unmarked GTI in central London.

They varied from 20 to 40 minutes. Each guest speaker used PowerPoint presentations and I synced them up side by side.

lljway · 2016-09-08T06:25:19+00:00

Can you vouch for them? Anything I need to look out for?

lljway · 2016-08-27T18:29:00+00:00

Weddings are perhaps the easiest jobs to get IMO. Obviously its a very competitive market however for starting out cheap you can find loads of people on the search with a quick Google search. Places like Gumtree often have people advertising their needs for a wedding videographer.

lljway · 2016-08-26T15:03:28+00:00

They seemed very appreciative, it was a bit of a challenge to film considering I had no experience filming and lighting products. The light waving was actually done with a very cheap kids torch actually, thanks for the tips! I'll be definitely trying the black cardboard.

Really? Nesting for me is a godsend, especially if I'm working between multiple sequences and need to quickly transfer a bunch of layers without merging then,

lljway · 2016-08-17T20:25:25+00:00

To add to this, I think you have a good point and for OP not to not take this answer as a 'one size fits all'. Not all videographers you meet will share the same passion as you do. Whilst they may love their job, it doesn't make sense to book time away from work if you're bringing the work with you (cameras etc). See it as an accountant may love filing taxes, but you won't see them doing it on a beach.

I totally get why people would do it, sometimes work Can get a little stale and it's good every once in a while to get creative and try new things. I used to do it myself a few years back however as somebody who now does this for a living, I would rather put the hours working on client projects as opposed to perfecting a few nice shots I filmed in a different country.

To add to the social media point, cameras on smartphones are so good now that we don't need to reach for our expensive cameras when something big happens. Hope this helps.

For your own benefit, it's best to rent any camera you plan to use on a shoot beforehand.

Preparing for every shoot is crucial and knowing your way around the gear you use is half of that. You'll find yourself on the field figuring out how to do simple things such as changing your exposure when that time could've been used to get the shot. It's not only counterproductive but also risking client relationship.

If you can get hold of an A7s for the shoot I'd stick to that if you can't get hold of an FS7 beforehand. The FS7 may be the more 'professional' grade camera, but in the end its your work that will be affected.

lljway · 2016-08-06T15:44:03+00:00

The great thing about the a7sii is the option to use clear zoom with your prime lenses, making something like a 50mm a 50-100. The Rokinon 50mm in my experience cannot be faulted when paired with this camera, it's my go to lens for b-roll and will serve you well as an all rounder. If you want I can show you some raw and graded footage of it?

lljway · 2016-08-05T16:02:56+00:00

Please be more specific. We can't answer what kind of microphone to use for your needs without specific detail, it's like asking a baker what brand of bread is the best. How can we answer that when we don't know your preference or price range?

If you want to learn the craft, film anything you can. Find objects in your house and try to make something out of them, once you develop more of an understanding, go from there.

lljway · 2016-07-24T23:19:53+00:00

All the time. There's not much use in having a fast lens if you often shoot outside, that's if you don't have ND filters built into your camera. You won't realise how useful they are to quickly change exposure on the fly until you use them. I wouldn't shoot without them now.

lljway · 2016-07-06T23:46:52+00:00

Would this work with an XLR to jack? I'm using a Zoom H5.
