Cinematic video production step-by-stepfrom @johnbucog
[01]
Overview
The creator provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to make videos look cinematic on a budget. He breaks down the process into four key pillars: shot selection (using AI to expand frames), lighting (using single lights and backlights for depth), color grading (choosing palettes for mood), and adding atmosphere (using a cheap fog machine). Throughout the video, he uses dynamic text overlays, greenscreen backgrounds, and B-roll to visually demonstrate each technique in real-time.
