A wedding filmmaker's review of the DJI Ronin-M

My favorite filmmaking gear: https://kit.com/whoismatt
In case you haven't been paying attention, there is a total revolution going on in the world of camera stabilization. For five of the past six years, I have used, loved, and traveled with the Glidecam HD-4000 to every wedding I have filmed. Now, with the advent electronic gimbal stabilizers such as the Movi and Ronin, it is looking more and more like the Steadicams and Glidecams of the world are becoming obsolete. Weights, muscles, and basic physics are being replaced by motors, algorithms, and computers. Okay, maybe not the muscles, electronic gimbals are plenty heavy too.

How to EASILY color grade Sony A7Sii, FS5, and a6300 footage for weddingfilms

My favorite filmmaking gear: https://kit.com/whoismatt
Color grading has always been one of my favorite facets of cinematography. Think about the warm reds and oranges of Mad Max, or the darker hues of The Revenant. The ability of a colorist to alter the mood and feel of a film through hues and saturation is incredibly powerful. I've been wanting to make a color grading tutorial for years, but it wasn't about a year ago that I felt that I had learned enough to even consider doing that. I knew that the time was right when I finished creating my video about my favorite picture profile for the A7Sii.

Shaky Footage? How to get SMOOTH HANDHELD shots like a beast!

Being able to get smooth and steady handheld shots is a GREAT skill to have. We aren't always going to have access to our gear - in these times, having the knowledge to apply specific camera techniques to mimic that gear is essential. I go over several different methods in the field and in post to get the smoothest shots possible without a 3-axis gimbal, or other popular means of smoothing out your shots.

10 BIGGEST MOVIE MISTAKES YOU MISSED

As you probably know, filming a movie is a long and meticulous process. Each scene is recorded several times, and the same scene can be filmed for several days. During the editing of the film, the editors choose the best scenes, which sometimes have been recorded on different days. For that reason, the filming crew has problems to recreate all the details. The result of this difficult process is a bunch of foolish mistakes, often caused by costume designers or those in charge of recreating historical places and weapons. In almost any movie you can find one or two insignificant flaws, which are easily overlooked. In other cases, people make stupid and very obvious mistakes. Today we are going to talk about those mistakes. So here we have the 10 stupidest movie mistakes
