Cheap And Mighty! Viltrox DC550 Pro Field Monitor Will Chidlow 2023-11-06 | Check it out: geni.us/yHqvIf you’re looking for an affordable all in one field monitor to connect to your camera then this new monitor might just be the perfect solution for you. It’s the Viltrox DC 550 Pro and for its relatively low cost it packs quite a punch!Viltox recently sent me their new field monitor to review and on opening it I was immediately impressed by the completeness of the package.It comes complete with a nice hard zip case, a quick release folding sun hood, tilt and swivel cold shoe mount, NPF500 battery with USB-C charging port, as well as including mini and micro HDMI cable to connect to various cameras, although not a full size HDMI cable which is a shame.I think the quality and number of accessories included really sets this product aside from other field monitors because most come as a stand alone monitor and you then have to purchase the accessories separately. The monitor itself is really well built, it is plastic just like most other field monitors but it feels fairly rugged, all the buttons and switches feel nice to operate and I’m confident it will withstand the general abuse of everyday use.There are 3 versions of this monitor, the DC550, the DC 550 Lite and the DC550 Pro. This is the pro version which has all the features the product offers which includes a 1200 nit brightness display, an internal cooling fan, Touch screen control and a comprehensive selection of built in monitoring tools.All 3 models share the same body which features 3 power options via either NPF battery, USB-C port, or DC input so there is no shortage of ways to power this thing up. The monitor also has on/off switch, 4 user programable shortcut buttons so you can easy turn on or off peaking, false colour, histograms or any other of the options the monitor offers. Also included is an SD card slot so you can load your own LUT files to the monitor, its great to see this feature included on such a budget product as until now only higher end monitors have offered this feature.On a similar note, Im super impressed that this monitor includes a HDMI loop out port, this is really handy if you want to send a signal out to another monitor or recorder or can even be used with something like the hollyland Mars wireless transmission system to transmit to a directors monitor or livestream setup.The monitor also has this large control dial which rotates but can also be pressed in to confirm a selection. Its a novel approach to navigating settings and works fairly well, however I personally much prefer using the touch screen to navigate and if I didn’t have the touch screen model I think I would perhaps find relying on the dial a little tricky at times.I really like the positioning of the HDMI ports on this monitor. Most monitors place them on the side meaning you have wires jutting out awkwardly but the DC550 has them at the bottom meaning it’s much easier to route your cables and keep your setup tidy. The DC550 also has a 3.5mm audio jack for monitoring your audio.The screen itself is full HD 1920x1080p and on the DC550 and pro versions boast an impressive 1200 nits of brightness and a powerful backlight. This is insanely bright and I’m confident this would still be usable even in the brightest of outdoor filming situations. Tools include; Import 3D LUT files, Parade waveforms, vector scope, histogram, focus peaking, false colour, audio monitoring, image flip, anamorphic de-squeeze, grids and guides, safe zones, and the ability to pinch to zoom if you have the touch screen version.So that’s the Viltrox DC 550 Pro, an impressively feature rich budget field monitor which I think completely kills the competition. I’ll see you next time!MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:The best FCPX plugins & effects: mvfx.co/WillChidlow===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony a7S iii - geni.us/tw0NB Camera - Sony a7 iv - geni.us/PNBDEyFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

FIX BAD AUDIO in FCPX with this FREE AI TOOL from Adobe Will Chidlow 2023-05-11 | Hi Friends, in this video I'm showing you how to use Adobe podcast enhance within your Final Cut Pro workflow to fix bad audio and remove background noise from vocal footage. whether you want to remove background noise, remove white noise or hiss, remove interference or even remove really annoying noise like talking, cars, crowds etc, then this tool could help. This new free ai tool from Adobe has blown my mind with how easily and effectively it can remove background noise and enhance audio. Whilst it doesn't seamlessly integrate with Final Cut Pro X Ive created a very simple method to extract the audio and then re-import the enhanced audio and continue editing.It's fair to say that ai is changing the world at a rapid pace now and whilst I'm not sure about all forms of ai its clear that these kind of ai based video editing tools will be an amazing time saver and can produce amazing results for editors, even if you are not an audio professional.Check out Abobe podcast enhance here: podcast.adobe.com/enhance MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

Final Cut Pro now on iPad - good or bad??? Will Chidlow 2023-05-09 | Hey Friends! Apple have just announced that Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro X are coming to M1 iPads on 23rd May 2023. I guess we should all be jumping for joy but why do i feel so weird about it? Is this a good thing for Final Cut or is it a step in the wrong direction? One thing is clear, the new iPad apps will be subscription based, so does this mean that future desktop versions of Final Cut Pro X will adopt a similar pricing model in the future and does that mean we'll get regular updates? Is Final Cut Pro X falling behind the competition and will this new app and possible pricing model be the investment that apple needs to push the app forward? I have so many unanswered questions but im excited to see where it goesLet me know your thoughts in the comments below, is this good or bad? will you use the app?Apple press release - apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/apple-brings-final-cut-pro-and-logic-pro-to-ipadMY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

The Joby Wavo Boom Arm - Best mic arm for creators? Will Chidlow 2023-03-12 | Check out the Joby Wavo Boom Arm: geni.us/is6fHey Friends, This week I'm taking a look at and reviewing the Joby Wavo Boom Arm. This microphone boom arm is perfect for gamers, streamers, voiceovers, video calls and much more and fills a pricing void between low quality cheap products and high end audio brands. The Joby Wavo Boom is a great mic boom arm for creators on a budget that still want a high quality microphone desk mounting solution. It compares well against the Rode PSA1 and PSA1+ which both cost more and i think this boom arm looks great compared to Rodes options. Could this be the best boom arm 2023?

AI generated the shot list for this short film - CHAT GPT OPEN AI Will Chidlow 2022-12-23 | I Asked Chat GPT open AI to generate a shot list for a short film with the prompt "write a shot list for a hacker at a desk" and this is what it gave me:1. Establishing shot of the hacker sitting at a desk in a dimly lit room.2. Close-up shot of the hacker's hands as they type rapidly on a keyboard.3. Medium shot of the hacker from behind, their face obscured by the glow of the computer screen.4. Close-up shot of the hacker's face, their expression intense as they focus on the screen.5. Wide shot of the hacker's desk, showing multiple computer monitors and a cluttered workspace.6. Close-up shot of the hacker's hand as they move a mouse cursor across the screen.7. Medium shot of the hacker from the side, their face partially obscured by the computer screen as they lean back in their chair.8. Close-up shot of the hacker's face as they look up and make eye contact with the camera.9. Wide shot of the hacker standing up and walking towards the camera, their face obscured by the shadows of their hoodie.10. Close-up shot of the hacker's hand as they turn off the desk lamp and exit the room, leaving the camera in darkness.I had a bit of time so decided to shoot this short film using the shot list. Admittedly there were a few shots which i changed to suit the "set" (my office) and once i got the shots into the edit i used my own creativity to expand and add a bit more "story" to the sequence but AI really did do most of the heavy lifting in planning this shoot! CHAT GPT OPEN AI is a new tool and i can see it having a lot of uses for filmmakers and youtubers to help our workflow, even if just for helping to generate ideas.I shot and edited this short film in 1 day, from thinking of the rough idea, generating the shot list with chat GPT and filming it all, editing and now uploading to youtube.This short film was shot entirely on the Sony Alpha A7Siii with Sigma 24-70mm f2.8, Sony 70-200mm f2.8 and 1 cheeky shot on the iPhone 14 pro, can you guess which shot was the iPhone 14 pro??MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

FCPX - Import to library OR Leave files in place - IT DEPENDS!! Will Chidlow 2022-12-20 | Hi Friends!In this video im talking about leaving files in place VS import media to library in final cut pro X. There seems to always be a lot of noise online about which approach is best so this video addresses some of the common misconceptions about the 2 methods and i share which approach works best for me. A lot of folks online seem to think that leave files in place is a magical space saving option but the reality is that its not that simple. Importing media to library can work with the exact same space if done correctly and has other benefits which i think make it the best option.MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

Home portrait photography is a great way to get creative and try new techniques and after watching DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix I really loved the stylized photo of Evan Peters used to promote the show.The series examines the gruesome and horrific true crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer and the systemic failures that enabled one of America’s most notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight for over a decade.With fairly minimal and affordable equipment and a bit of time we have recreated the portrait and im very happy with the result. Im also faily new to gel portrait photography so this was a good chance to play with using gels for portraits and also using speedlights for portraits.MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:The Godox V1 flash i used in this video: geni.us/SAGvMkK===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

This week I'm taking a look at the new Joby WAVO Pro on camera shotgun microphone designed especially for content creators and doing some tests with the mic on the beach.

The WAVO pro certainly has some cool features including ANR - active noise reduction, +10 and +20db options, auto on/off functionality, EQ via a bluetooth connected app and it also comes with a wind shield and wind jammer which is nice to have included.This Joby microphone is part of a new range of microphones from Joby aimed directly at content creators and offering on camera mic options as well as wireless lav mics, usb condenser mics and wired lav mics.MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

Make a swipe reveal effect in FCPX - Before & after effect NO PLUGINS! Will Chidlow 2022-02-06 | Hey friends!In this video I'm showing you how to make a swipe reveal effect in FCPX with no plugins, just the basic tools that come with Final Cut Pro. This simple before and after slider effect is commonly used to show how LUTS or Presets effect video or photo but could also be used for home renovation before and after style video or maybe even for beauty or fitness transformation reveals or anything really where you want to swipe to reveal something.I was inspired to make this video after seeing a website selling a plugin to create this effect but just thought it was so unnecessary as it is so easy to make a swipe reveal in final cut without using any plugins.We will be using the draw mask tool in FCPX and optionally we can add a divider line over the top using a basic shape effect. Making a before and after slider in Final Cut only takes a few minutes and you can change it to suit your own needs and style very easily.Hope you found this helpful and i'll see you next time!Thanks!MY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Best plugins & effects for Final Cut Pro =====motionvfx.sjv.io/3PZKky===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7Siii B camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdC Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/cL6Iw4===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZy===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Cages and rigs - https://www.smallrig.com?afmc=3w5Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.

Create a cool animated DOPESICK date effect in Final Cut Pro X Will Chidlow 2022-01-30 | Hi Friends!In this video ive been inspired by recently watching Dopesick on Disney+, particularly by the awesome date effect they use to jump between dates whilst telling the story. I thought it would be fun to try and create this date effect in final cut pro with no plugins, just the basic titles and effects that come with FCPX.To create a cool date effect in Final Cut Pro was really easy so i thought id show you how you too can create an animated date slider for yourself in FCPX.The animated date shows the year and then animates and slides through the years until landing on the next year where the story takes us.

Manfrotto Be Free 3 Way Live Advanced Travel Tripod - Best tripod for hybrid shooters Will Chidlow 2021-06-11 | Hi Friends!In this video I'm taking a look at the Manfrotto Be Free 3 way live advanced travel tripod. This new Manfrotto tripod is unique because it is designed for both video and photography so its possibly the best hybrid shooter tripod.The Manfrotto fluid head known as the manfrotto fluid drag tripod head is cleverly designed to make this an ultra compact travel tripod but still has all the features essential in order to call this a video tripod.Its an aluminium tripod so not quite as light as a carbon fibre travel tripod but the aluminium means this tripod has a payload of a whopping 6kg, making it perfect for larger video rigs.The 3 axis video tripod head also folds down nice and small meaning this is no hassle to carry around on mobile shoots.I think this might be the best tripod for hybrid shooters like me that are often working alone and need the versatility to shoot photos and video with the same tripod.I hope you enjoy the video, and i'll see you next time!Check out the tripod here:geni.us/FEwz6Short center column:geni.us/QDJeSMY FILMMAKING & PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR:===== Cameras & Lenses =====A camera - Sony A7iii - geni.us/8CIdB Camera - Sony a6400 - geni.us/tmdBFavourite “youtube” studio lens - geni.us/h0BLPortrait lens - geni.us/DXPABeastly Macro lens - geni.us/bAbNHBest vlogging lens - geni.us/As6u===== Lighting =====Key light - geni.us/HgbTLight dome for key light light - geni.us/ClNfwpGLED panel - geni.us/ndqb0vxsmall/travel light - geni.us/QZZyLight dome for key light - geni.us/ClNfwpG===== Audio =====Shotgun mic - geni.us/kY01Lav mic - geni.us/wp6IoR9Vlog mic - geni.us/i0dAAudio recorder - geni.us/iXC08===== Grips and misc =====Drone - geni.us/vX1deUQGimbal - geni.us/6wFAPLEASE NOTE Some of the above links are affiliate links.
