    I would argue that you forgot about time. A shot doesn't exist frozen in time, but flows with it. Subject, composition, light, contrast, etc... are dynamic. A cinematic shot tells a story. Cinematic shots have purpose. Lastly, I would also argue that you can't know the magnitude of your work's transcendence in advance. You can work with the best minds and highest budgets only to achieve mediocrity. By the same token, a seemingly stupid gig can end up redefining popular culture in unexpected ways. Always try your very best. :)
  • I've never heard someone explain cinematography this way, but it's so simple and yet genius
  • @RenderMeTV
    this is the type of content I want to see, not a dude in travel with his family, just talking about real art, very clear explanation here, and it seems that I'm a total noob, happy with my wood sticks, thanks for the video bro, so inspiring, need to learn more!😎
  • @DethronerX
    Really had a trip watching this and with your score in the underbelly of the presentation. I totally agree with this and without everything coming together to form the One, it's pointless B-Rolls. Secondly, in my view, it doesn't have to be a BIG person to do any element of the movie, it has to be whoever is perfect for the job. It could be a small actor with zero acting experience, as long as they play the character perfectly well. So that's when things come together as One. Not with Film or Digital camera, unless intentional for the story and not famous celebrities, not a small budget or big budget, just the elements that fit correctly based on your idea, as David Lynch would say.
  • I appreciate the changing of talking head from natural lighting to “natural lighting”
  • Yes Thomas, you're right. We are inspired by the best and we try to imitate them. We try to find and understand how they did it and how we can do it. This makes us both admiring, humble, and better at the same time. Thank you for the time you took to make this video.
  • @DANAMIONLINE
    I appreciate your effort to simplify and provide depth to the word cinematic
  • @CKamera23
    got a lot out of this; thanks for creating it; I guess that makes it one step closer to making it cinematic.
  • I really like these videos where you break down elements of film and cinematography. Nice change up
  • @jesseyules
    Loved the cargo cult riff at the end. Important to remember that even top tier directors fail to make great cinema sometimes, even with all the resources, and artists like Godard made a great film running around Paris with a two actors and a handheld camera. Moving art is takes effort, vulnerability, good taste and luck.
  • @BenickiMedia
    Hey buddy, I don't know what to write to express my gratitude for this video. Your work is not only helpful, but there are no words to describe its educational value. I'm really happy that you're doing what you do, and I wish you all the best. Keep up the good work!
  • Image is awsome, and loved the cinemascope format. Also loved that "New York 1993" video when you say beauty, it has a nice jazz background.
  • Anybody else notice that cinematic scenes don't exactly hurt the eyes, either? It just hurts our pockets 😆
  • @CollinShook
    I Love the part when he said "It's Cinematic Time", and then everyone started Cinema'ing
  • @stevengonz
    For someone who dropped out of school, this sure was a well planned and juicy lesson. Can definitely see some film professor stumbling upon this video and making the class watch it 😂
