Adorama | Ultimate Guide to Capturing Cinematic Moody Footage @Adorama | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Throughout this very informative video, Aidin shows how he has the creation of cinematic videos down to a science. Atmospheric sound design, color grading, lighting, and shooting in the rain — these are all factors in creating moody footage. However, Aidin Robbins emphasizes how it all starts in pre-production.
We join Aidin in the stunning rainforests of the Scottish islands, where he strives to capture the dreariness and grayness of the area. He also describes gothic horror stories about the area, which perhaps adds to the eerie atmosphere.
Follow Aidin as he breaks down how to shoot moody footage from pre- to post-production.
Aidin Robbins is a filmmaker based in the Carolinas. For the past 8 years, he has spent most of his time refining his style, searching for new spots to shoot, and waking up obscenely early to catch the sunrise. His passion for film has allowed him to work with clients like CamelBak and Beautiful Destinations, travel to countless locations, and build an online audience of over 400,000 people.
Fueled by a love for adventure and the outdoors, Aidin’s work is innovative and turns heads on social media. While he strives to share stunning visuals, storytelling is at the heart of everything Aidin creates.
