Great information and content as always. But there is something I would like to mention. In my personal experience, if you using vintage or cinema lens, there is big chance that you probably going to need a matt box or your hand to protect direct or sime direct light to lens since those kind of lens usually looks super washed out that makes the image beyond useable when shoting against sun when its still high, but you don't need to worry about it if you using modern lens like sony, canon, sigma, tamron, their image style is flat and boring, but will help a lot if you plan to do a lot of back lite shot. I love such compact shoting style, but since I only like lens that with characters, which leave me no choice but to bring out a lot of accessories every time.

this video is unbelievably helpful for all of us creators. Thank you so much for putting all these valuable tips into it for us. We appreciate you!!

Awesome, thanks! Are you working with a 24p timeline? Looks like you shoot mostly in 60p for your slow motion? Might have been some 120p in there too. Great work.

Amazing! Your style is insanely good! As you said, very organic, storytelling and very intimate.
I am amazed of what you manage to create with so little gears in hands oO
No gimbal, no monitor, not even a camera strap, just a man, a woman and a camera xD
Also your music selection and edition is incredible!
I am a big fan, and I'm following you for a little while now 😊

I have some questions though:
What lens/focal lenght are you using mostly ? Do you usually keep the same lens and only varies focal length all along the shoot ?
How do you do your focus, I guess you rely mostly on autofocus + wide seeing your style and movements, am I wrong ?
And you film everything in 120fps (or 100fps for europe) ?

Thank you !

Awesome work as always! Question - Do you use the active shot with the ibis of the a7siii during the shoot or do you turn it off for just normal IBIS?

[danielmatras]

Hi MABO :) are you using PolarPro Signature or Mist Edition?

Hey, on which camera the behind the scenes where shot? and can you tell me if the 24-70 mm 2.8 gm is powerful in minimal light situations? I would really apreciate it. If you are german you can also answer in german but I was not sure haha

this video makes me comment, , , it was too good, it cut things into pieces that i can process better, and i have a question for you and the comunity, i have the sony a7 iv that makes a huge crop when you are recording at 4k 60p, do you recomend buying the 24mm instead and and i can crop when is needed ????

[fransiscusherry]

Very helpful video. thank you so much :)

[GTV-esjp]

So I've watched this video like at least 100 times - this is one of my favorite songs ever and you definitely did it justice with the visuals.
Regarding those orange transitions - are they light leaks? I love the fact you consistently use those in all your videos!

[hungpham-jtlx]

hey brotha, do you use your promist filter with ND filters if its too sunny?

[RoskoRecords]

I’ve been following you for a few months now from searching the combination of the A7Siii x f1.8 35mm and I’m so glad I found you. Your organic style, the way you’re transparent with the BTS about how you go about the process, you don’t leave things to the imagination of the viewer to figure out. You’re going to go far mate and I’m all for it. Keep up the good work!

[wiama]

Did you use any mist filter in your shot?

[nsnoesuarez]

video is great but got irritated with the music.

[aguschar]

Thanks for this. Is it 4k at 60 or 24?
