citations everybody welcome back
benjamin brandon here back with another
vertical video tutorial and it's been a
while since I've done one of these so I
missed you
yeah like for real how's your mom's
doing yeah that's an awkward question
mark my back so if you're new to the
channel I'm a vertical filmmaker and I
just TV influencer that's gained some
success in IG TV and I just make
vertical films on an every other day
basis I've learned some cool stuff with
the IG TV and vertical video so if
that's something that you're into you
think IG TVs cool you don't know how to
do it yet or you want to make really
cool vertical films or content stories
whatever I would totally since its
describing I mean you don't have to but
you know I would like it now be cool and
just saying and so today we're talking
about glass we're talking about lenses
what type of lenses are good for
vertical video I'm going to show you all
the ones that I use so that way you can
apply them to your vertical videos and
just get going and make it look nice oh
and the cool part about this tutorial is
I actually have some help today for like
the first time ever from my man straight
down here in Austin Texas where is he
where is he that's Stevie Ray Vaughan
put my hood on it is so cold right now
geez happy fall it's almost winter y'all
damn got my hoodie so my man Stevie and
I are gonna show you guys what type of
lenses are really good for vertical
video and I'm gonna show you all the
ones that I use the cheap ones at least
and show you exactly what you can do
with them and the first one is the most
important one because it's the free one
and that is a KITT one now what's the
kit lens you got to think about the fact
that it's a kit lens for a reason you
have so many focal lengths you can just
choose from that well sometimes you
really don't need another lens but there
are some like prime lenses and just
other lenses in general that give you a
little bit more finer detail and depth
but for kit lens it's super dope so
Canon has their 1855 it yeah there it is
you guys see that which is super cool
because it goes very wide and it goes
pretty narrow so it's a pretty versatile
lens and I guarantee you guys if you
can't afford new lenses or other lenses
this will do the trick for vertical
video and pretty much anything for sure
so let's show you how I do that
now what kit lenses you got to
understand the focal lengths for
vertical video and that's what we're
gonna get into right now so the first
one hold on unlock suppose the first
focal length is your Y focal length
which is 18 millimeter let me show you
my man Stevie Ray at 18 millimeters now
shooting an 80 mm get she's a whitey so
you can get with the Canon kit lens I'm
standing about two to three feet away
from them and I'm getting pretty much
his entire body just enough to where
he's my primary subject and there's not
much in the background however you can
see some details in the background you
can use a vertical third shot like this
with 18 millimeters and get both your
background in your foreground it's
pretty cool and I totally recommend to
use the vertical thirds when applicable
because yeah it just makes your shots
look good and gives you more depth
especially with 18 mm oh and if you
don't know what the vertical thirds are
you can watch with my older videos that
explains that in depth I'll link it
below and this card here and stop okay
cool so you've seen what the 18
millimeter focal length does there's two
more to think about when it comes to a
kit lens the other one is 24 mill let's
go ahead and show you that 24 gives you
a little bit more perspective a little
closer to your subject and still provide
some detail from a medium shot shooting
at 24 minutes very popular nowadays so
applying it to vert just makes a little
cooler the one thing to think about is
just don't be too close to your subject
is that a train let's talk about the
next focal length which is 35 now 35 mil
is generally pretty cinematic so you
want to use it a lot for some more
detail I wouldn't recommend it for a
roll I would barely recommend 24 mil for
a roll as well for kit lens if you go
invert and you need to shoot a roll like
like this just vertically go 18 mil all
the way the wider longer you can get the
better it is for vertical video aerial
trust me as a matter of fact let me show
you what arrow looks like shooting in 20
formula and 35 this is 24 so that gets
you that you know decent look it's a
pretty close up if you want close-ups go
24 milk if you want extreme close-ups
you do 35 let me show you what that
looks like okay will cross your phobic
this is 35 mil this is vertical video
shooting in 35 mil so you see the
difference right it's a little weird I'm
pretty zoomed in but if you want some
type of dramatic effect if you want
extreme close-up this is what 35 does if
you just want a regular close-up you go
24 and you just want a nice wide a roll
you go 18 so you see the difference
right so now here are a couple
cool-looking veero shots at 35 minutes
let's show you that
[Music]
so it looks good right it's pretty
cinematic it's pretty close up there's
enough detail to your subject but yeah
it's not crazy enough to where all
you're looking at is just one particular
aspect of your subject that's why I like
35 so again the kit lens is a super
strong one you don't have to invest in
glass to do vert but if you want to let
me show you a really cool cheap lens and
that's the canon 24mm granted yes you do
have to be shooting with Canon cameras
because I have a Canon camera if you let
me borrow a Sony Panasonic I'll I'll do
the same it's kind of a cool spot I
guess we'll do the next segment here
let's talk about the 24 mil so here are
two reasons to go with the 24 million
you want to go y22 you're in a low light
situation and you need more like to go
into your sensor that's exactly what
this guy does let's go back to mama and
Stevie and show you what it looks like
at 24 mil
pretty cool right the Canon 24 mil
actually has a maximum aperture of a 2.8
versus a kit lens I think it's like four
point eight or 5.0 or something so you
don't get much light into your sensor
which means you have to have
restrictions and shutter speed and ISO
and your aperture and stuff like that so
it just doesn't look as crisp or as nice
yeah if you're constantly shooting in
like environments that have low light
get the Canon 24 millons it is awesome
it's cheap it's like less than $150 and
of course I'll link that lens below and
all the other ones we talked about below
so you can check them out for yourself
so the next lens is like everyone's
favorite lens whether you're a beginner
filmmaker a new filmmaker intermediate
or advanced everyone loves this lens
because it's so nifty yeah I'm talking
about the canyons 50 millimeter lens
otherwise known as the nifty 50 because
it literally does like a lot now
disclosure do not use this for a row
this is not in a Roland I only want to
show you what it looks like on a roll
because you're gonna see like all my
pores and it's just I'm not that secure
with my face I don't know it that you
trust it just don't do it so let's go
show you what that looks like in the 50
mil b-roll with Stevie Ray Vaughn
so in extra 50 itself it's so incredible
because it gives you so much detail to
what you're shooting and you don't
really have to be that close as you can
see here it's the best thing for vert
b-roll with the nifty 50 is to pull
focus with pull out shots it looks so
good you can see this right here
it's like one of my go-to shots for like
all my vertical films man I'm hit so
much traffic I'm heading home but before
I do let's talk about the last lens and
it's another kit lens it goes on that's
the one you're on right now it's the
Canon M 50 which is the best I repeat
the best vertical video camera you could
possibly have just the price the quality
just everything that's why it's a
benjamin brand certified vert camera
yeah I like that that's the Benjamin
Brandon certified birth camera this is
obviously not a sponsored video by can't
get out of here yo cane and call me dog
call me so with the m50 kit lens it does
give you all those options that i
mentioned earlier
here's 18 mil here is it shooting at 24
and here it is shooting at 35 now the
reason why this kit lens is pretty much
the creme de la creme of kit lenses for
vertical video is because it gives you a
15 millimeter focal length that's like
your go-to that's the one you really
want to strive for if you can go ten
millimeter that's even better but that's
a little bit more expensive and it's
definitely sometimes a little bit too
wide depending on what's in the
background so you remember when I did
this earlier I was showing you the 18
Millett wente 4 mil and a 35 this is at
15 isn't it
yes it is this is exactly at 15 so
you're getting just everything you can
see in the background plus me you can
alway down to my toes and it kind of
warps a little bit and for the ladies it
does look a little bit attractive
because they get all slim and my wife
says she looks good at 50ml so sorry
honey
sporty look coming in trouble for that
one but if you were to ask me hey Ben
what's the best lens like focal length
wise for vertical video I would also
tell you get a 50 millimeter lens or use
the K in m50 kit lens if you use the
Canon 50 kit lens you really don't need
any other lens except if you want to get
really cool detail shots then I would
probably recommend getting the Canon 50
millimeter lens the nifty 50 with the
adapter that you can get for Canon
because the Canon 50 has the lens size
of the EFM but you know the mirrorless
cameras do so just keep that in mind all
that's only link down below so you can
check it out and yeah I hope this was
super helpful I have to go home but
would you think about this video did it
provide you any value if it did do me a
favor
it will mean the world to me it helps me
out so much if you smash the like button
comment if you have any questions I
literally get to every single comment
and yeah do yourselves a favor just
think outside the box single shoots
vertical video go shoot something
awesome something different something
new and let me know when you do cuz I
totally want to see it especially if
you're using this video as a reference
and use the lenses or get one of the
lenses that's super dope I want to see
it let me know
get me up on instagram you can access me
at access Benjamin that's the reason why
that handles there and yeah sorry for
this sniffles it's really cool I'm gonna
go home and cook beer I'll see y'all
later I literally forgot my 24 mil over
there next to the lake like I almost
lost this thing that is so crazy the
things I do for y'all man I'm just
singing links in the description I'll
see y'all there
