Coffee and or RedBull are not recommended for said smooth footage :) Whats YOUR favourite to shoot handheld?
Peter McKinnon please contact with me on instgram
Peter McKinnon I use the 3 point grip with the gorillapod to add extra weight for better stability
Man, I work at Facebook, if you're ever in the Bay Area let me know. I can bring you as a guest
Peter McKinnon you look totally different with the ponytail on ... mdrrr always learning thnx
Peter McKinnon I also do the falling trick!!!!!!!!!!
My shooting has got a lot more stable after I started doing weights. Physically stronger arms helps.
reddaB fax as well
@@josephbass3156 fax?
@@reddaB its like facts like he saying that is a fact
@@DavidYoum ah
I workout my arm every night, why are my videos still shaky
That neck strap trick is a game changer, thanks man!
I do that ALL THE TIME. Always thought It was wrong. But now I know Peter does it, I can do it in peace. xD
Does it really?
why am i watching this? i don't even have a camera lol
because you have an interest and will buy a camera soon.. very soon..
very bery soon
What kind of phone are you using?
@@vainmoo311 I made a shortfilm for our group project and i only used Iphone to video and it turns out to be pretty good
But you have a smartphone ;)
Hi Peter, discovered you about a week ago, and LOVE the videos you make giving tips on improving our own photography and video! I can't say enough how great it is to hear and watch what you have to say. It is really getting me to think outside the box and experiment with new styles of shooting and creating footage
You are so right in your videos. You tell it like it is! If I may so graciously add Sir...
I was on the SWAT team. Stabilization is ultra-important when getting a sight picture before engaging. You got this technique 90% right so far. If I may add a suggestion:
Hold the camera in both hands. Extend your arms straight out, keeping at eye level. Shrug your shoulders very high. Touch them to your earlobes of you can. (Important!) Draw your arms in towards your chest. Your elbows should contact your rib-cage very high on the sides, when this happens, relax your shoulders. Don't let your elbows move down, hold their position.
You feel weird doing this, but when you are done this series of moves, it will be a relaxing posture. You now have 4 points of contact (shutter/right hand, support hand, both elbows on your chest.) You will be able to hold this posture for a long time, much like I did with my entry gun and sniper rifle. We train to learn bone-on-bone support for extended periods of high-risk contact.
If you would like a video explanation of this, please let me know. Your videos are in a class of very few that I subscribe to. I have no idea how you make a living off of UA-cam, but you should. It's a lot of work.
Cheers and best of luck with your channel!
Jeff / St. Catharines
That's clearly a tremendous insight.
Thanks for sharing!
I just tried it and it was like .. WHAT?? A human tripod/gimbal. Mind blown! Thanks for this wonderful technique.
But isn't 3 points of contact more stable than 4?...
Damn just tried it, really helpful thank you
Can you please send me the video for the explanation 🙏🏼
Most definitely going to use the neck strap trick!👌🏿👏🏿🤠
The Dormuns
Ali Avci most people arent filming for hours.
Big thanks for the tips man! 🙏Been binge watching your videos this weekend, amazing stuff! I realised I didn't have a neck strap for my G7x, so just threw together a super ghetto one with a bit of paracord. Works pretty well!
You really are helpful with your videos! Thank you Peter! I like the strap technique!
As soon as I got notified from your channel, I was so excited that I watch this video entirely without noticing what the title of the video was
Love his videos! What type of videos do you make
Coner Murphy Totally Agreed ;)
Funnily enough I've just reply to one of your comments on his portrait video tips and yes his video are always sooooo useful to learn some new tips.
Enogmika Absolutely and BTW Thanks for the UA-cam Creator tips. :)
wowBhaskar they is nothing there ;)
I'm just spreading the word about that cool hidden feature of youtube. It's been a little while since I had the time to go through some chapter, but wouldn't be surprise to see some of Perer's video as references in those activities.
This video is ****ing AMAZING!
Doctors pursuing film. That's the world I want.
Thank you Peter. Great TIPS.
you keep surprising me everyday... this is very helpful.. keep going and you will hit 1 million subscribers soon 😉❤
definitely!
Honestly, thank you so much for taking the time to put out this content. It's so incredibly useful. Eternally grateful!
Went to wedding
*fell over bride’s mother in 2 second free fall*
At least it wasn’t the bride
@@RoLee705 exactly what i was thinking😂😂😂
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I want decently smooth shots without having to go through the effort of buying and bringing a stabilization rig with me. I'm just a budding hobbyist and for outdoorsy or travel situations I don't have the time to always get a rig setup. These tips really fit my style of a more "guerilla-style" of film making.
4:55 The innovation is here.
Dude these are awesome tips! I love the PM signature tilt ;) Gonna try use that one! Also love the advice on using the strap as an extra point of contact, that's genius! I never thought of doing that! Thanks bro! :)
Man, you're the best, just letting you know. Discovered your channel recently, binging through your videos like crazy, already've learned tons of important stuff about cinematography and cameras in general. Thanks dude))
I watched a few other videos about this same topic. Its interesting how you present the same information. But the b-roll clips help the viewer to understand which is a huge help! Thanks Peter!
WISH YOU POSTED THIS BEFORE I WENT TO A CAR SHOW TWO HOURS AGO
Haha yeah I'm going to use this tip the next time I go
Michael Miller Went to a car show about 15 days ago or so, have been looking to find something like this since.
Ahah I hope it was fun!
Oof
Round of applause for Peter for making great tutorials almost daily! Love your videos :)
The energy you have in each and every video you make is contagious. When i watched one of your videos for the first time ever, I subscribed. You are an amazing person who has very good tips, tricks and a rocking style. Your outfits are awesome. Keep up the fantastic work.
3 years on in a lockdown world of June 2020 and still watching this. Sooo helpful! thanks Pete
And booom the motivation kick is back!!
!!!
yeah!!! if it wasn't already night I would be out now :,)
I know now I want to go shoot today
Steve Captures You all know sub4sub is bad for you right?
Oh whoops, i replied to the wrong comment lol
I love your work peter! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!! ♥️
Holy smokes, Peter! You brought it, yet again! Great tips on getting smooth, buttery, handheld footage! Both Erin & I really love your filmmaking style! Time to watch more of your vids & implement what we learn :) - Brian
Dude....I was on my way home, thinking about how photography/videography techniques, for smooth buttery-something-something are so similar to the 4 rules of basic marksmanship, that I’ve learned in the Army.
1-Steady position
2-sight picture
3-breathing
4-trigger squeeze
I enjoyed watching this, awesome content dude!
I must watched these techniques again in 2019 😘. I still live it. You are UA-cam super hero Peter 🙂
Jacky Nguyen just subscribed to you show some love back
Definitely going to give these tips a try to jazz up my vlogs. I'm using a Canon 80D without stabilised lens or a gimbal so these tips are priceless. Thanks ✌️
man, you rock.. I've always wanted to shoot videos but never knew where to start and your presentation is so educational AND entertaining at the same time, I can't thank you enough. Being a coffee head myself I really do enjoy your videos! Keep it up
My gosh, all aspects of your content even the screen recording, the personality, the looks. Super professional. What a pleasant channel!
6:03 or Lets call it the PETER PAN ;)
Hahaha! I see what you did there! ;)
hahahahha
Jay Valsan Lol Wowwwwww
You shall influence this industry, mark my words.
im surprised he didn't respond to this lol
i loved the freefalling shots lol
Loving your stuff man thanks for all the awesome content! Your work is insanely good...
Suuuper helpful info, Peter, love it. I am so happy that I don't need to carry to much equipment with me all the time.
Your vids are the highlights of my days
So okay, tomorrow there are 500K strange looking videographers out there trying the PM ROCK N TILT! :D
BTW: As always - Like button smashed!
yup, add me to those :P
Same here! :D
Thilo Witting yeah lets try
I've been doing the PM rock and tilt long before this video, it sketchy af.
This is why I love these videos I’ve used a ton of the photo info getting back into photography and suddenly I have a video need and this was a great help. Thank you!!
Justin Terry right? Such awesome content👍🏻😊
Great tips .. as always great help thanks
Great vid PM, will try the PM ROCK N TILT too ha ~
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED. Thank you Peter! You're such an inspiration to me ^_^
you gonna post?
Yep eventually :)
I came across your vid for academic purposes. i never thought I'd be so inspired to film stuff n make good mvs or documentaries its so fun! And you are so kind enough to post the equipment you use in your works! Thank youu keep up the great works I hope you get to inspire more people!
Hey man you are great! I've been collecting equipment lately and putting off the research part of the project I'm about to attempt to do. Rolled the ankle the other day so I've been held up on the couch for the past couple days. I'm glad I searched the right phrases to stumble upon your channel. Just over the last couple hours I've easily digested what you've been laying down and I feel like I'm ready to get out there and make some things happen! Thanks again! Subscribed and I'll keep watching and learning! (Also, I've had premier for years now and you've also helped me understand how its actually supposed to be used!) Great stuff!
Yo Peter, any chance you could make a tutorial on ISO, Aperture and shutter speed. I have like no idea what to do with them lol.
icecream is nice and how to focus a camera and use manual
ISO is how bright the photo can come out to be just don't go too high, because it will start to become grainy. Aperture the F number is your depth of field basically the higher the number the more that will be in focus for example a F22 photo is most likely a landscape photo to capture everything in focus. A f2.8 is ideal for portrait photos to blur out the background well. Shutter speed is for the speed of your shutter lol so if you want to cpature something moving fast you may want your shutter speed number high for example shutter 500 for a car maybe and if you want to take portraits then a shutter at 1/60th of second can work for your portrait just don't move or your photo will be blurry hopefully this cleared some air for you :)
put everything on auto and just adjust the shutter speed to fit the lighting. thats what i do
only for video
icecream is nice check canon.ca/outsideofauto it's a cool way to learn what each does and see the effect
That is a SWEET new truck Peter! (Anyone else notice?)
Yeah, I kind of like it ... cherry :)
youre the man Pete. I've been getting a lot of inspiration from your craft and presence on here, thank you - you rock (and tilt)
He's my biggest inspiration to create on youtube!
I found you yesterday and I can't stop watching! Your stuff is great, man! Good job. I'm hooked.
Did this guy just gain 40k subs within 2 days? Damn pete you keep amazing me
maurits Vdwijk They want to win that gear!!
millie williams It's sad that they just do it for the camera, but maybe some of them will stay afterwards and discover his really great videos haha
RuralCDN Same!! Lol
I've learnt so much from Peter recently!
Thanks for the tips! I will often do longer movements so that (similar to your falling trick) I can cut a smooth part out of a motion. It's done the trick more than a few times!
I'm starting to really get into photography and stuff and I shot a lot of pictures for people in my school and have been invited to be part of a dancing project to film, take pictures and edit everything and I'll be honest I watched your videos for 5 hours straight tonight, even some I watched before. I really love your videos Peter, keep it up !
+Peter McKinnon That fall and tilt technique is wicked! I'm mostly just a still shooter but you've inspired me to start exploring that random red button on the back of the camera.
A Picture Imperfect Life rec ?
Resinds .P tssss he’s trying to be poetic 💥
You're so likable!
I really enjoy watching you!! Such a nice personality!! Your instruction is EXCELLENT!!!
Thanks Peter! Your vids are definitely helping my techniques, aswell as motivating me to get better. ✌😊✌
just for that TIP you shared with backwards and forward thing I SUBBED. Thanks alot~
KathehFit hu
ahahah just spend the day learning about and asking my self how and boom! there You are notifying me. Perfrct timing Pete
thats great
I love your personality! This video was amazing to watch. Such a positive vibe!
Dude your instruction videos are so amazing! I always learn so much from you. Thanks.
If you have no problem looking silly in public, I can teach you a new one. Try to run with very large steps, jumping really high, similar to an athlete jumping at the sand pit. You can take the areas of the movie where you are not touching the ground and make an amazing footage :)
Old Movies 😂😂
Do you have an example of how it looks? Sound amazing
Imagine chasing someone like that while making some street photography shots. Wearing a bunny costume.. That is silly
4k 30fps or 1080p 60fps ?
The voice of God hopefully you aren't recording studio like that lol
Im an art student mainly focused into paint and illustration. My smart ass then turned 180 degrees and decided to do my term project with film photography😂 But i found this and all your other tutorials sooo soooo soooooo helpful xxx
Kieryn Nell awesome!! All the best to you 😊
Truly love what you do brother Peter... Stay Focused and continue creating greatness!!! Your Momentum Coach Eddie Lee
You the Man . I watched two videos of yours and Im hooked. Great Tutorials
HAHAHA Hey Pete!! I use all of these tricks! I do the filming fall too!! :D We probably look really strange in public but hey, anything for the shot.
I sold the pack design camera strap yesterday. It's an amazing product.
Awesome 👍🏻👊🏻 I’m learning so much from watching your channel, I enjoy the motivation you are always upbeat and you show how photographers in your videos the amazing shoots you can achieve and that you can correct them in post production. Thanks for sharing !!! Danny
I've been watching the channel for about a year and I JUST got a DSLR, so I'm rediscovering a lot of these tutorials. Thanks, Pete! :D
Genuinely the first Peter McKinnon video I've seen, I can see why he's so popular :)
Thanks for this, Peter. What about maximizing smoothness when you're walking and vlogging?
Great video!
Hate to break it to you man, you're not the only one employing the slow tilt/fall over technique. Helped me a bunch with photograpy as well :)
Gaaaaadddd!!!! I wanna cry because of this !!! I just love it !!! HUGE THANK YOU Peter!!!
Hey Peter! Everything you share is amazing! Thank you, really 😊 One question here, which setting of fps you choose when you're talking to the camera? Cause I've seen in a few other channels where youtubers hands movement is so fast and weird 😅 or it would depend on the shutter speed they chose? Thanks and big hugs from Mexico! ✌
Nice videos and awesome tips. Ill be sure to incorporate your wisdom into my videos!
This guys charisma is off the charts
I am loving these old videos. Learnt so much
4:30 "maybe your just really cold!" lol that cracked me up XD
A good way of getting a really smooth shot is to put your left hand on your right shoulder, thereby creating a sort of a triangle holding your camera steady. Check it out, it works well.
wow!!! game changer!!!!
I do that as well it really helps
I think i'm in right way. When i saw your step for stable a footage, these are absolutely matched with my technic . You've really creative mind. ❤
stumbled across the channel and love it. thanks for all your hard work.
you are the shooter brother of john snow mate. christmas is coming. good channel good videos!
Do you use auto focus when filming stuff like the "tailgate shots" at about 7:13 in this video?
I wanna Kno too
Thank you for making such awesome videos - they are really helpful and I've learnt a lot from watching you. Keep it up!
Camera strap is such a great thing. I use this technique for years and found it out myself exactly like you. It's super effective and I'm surprised that people find it wierd sometimes. Many guys just relies on tech and they just don' t think other way. I was very happy when you mentioned this. :)
you're a great videographer..cool tips! thank you.. i'm only just beginning my journey with videography..i am curious about what you're fav series/documentaries/movies might be..it'd b awesome if you'd mention some..
Arpita Ghoshal this channel is best. watch all videos
Yea it definately is best the channel. . I will watch all..thanks!
That nervousness when he's shaking around a 30 grand camera 😅
Love your energy, Peter. Tips aren't bad either :). Thanks mate!
DUDE THE PM ROCK AND TILT IS SO FREAKING USEFUL!!!!! Thank you so much for your awesome videos!!
"Ok, I wouldn't be opposed to a tripod at this point" 😂😂😂😂
I"VE dine the falling TOO!!!! that's lit haha
I literally chimed into your channel by a youtube worm hole, and I literally subscribed to learn solely from you. Utilizing your videos as a form of Mentorship. Love everything you do as well as your energy. Great work, keep them coming, your work is extremely beneficial!
Thank you so much! I'm currently learning to make videos and the movements have been a daunting subject. Your explinations are awesome!
I've been doing the "PM Rock n Tilt" for a few years now. I thought I was the weird one. I guess I'm not alone 😂
"Ok, yeah... I mean I wouldn't be opposed to a tripod at this point..." HAHAHA
Love your sense of humor! You keep the tutorials Fun. Thank you for all the tips especially for a beginner like myself.
Yo Peter, really appreciate this video man! I'm about 2 weeks out from going to Africa for a month for my first major projects, and this nugget of gold Definitely helps, as I don't have the budget for gimbals, or any active stabilisers. You rock man, keep the rad vids a comin!!!
9:23 I thought i was gonna get rick rolled lol
Hey Peter, it looks like the camera strap link is broken (for me anyway). Just letting u know jic! :)
Amazing tips! So helpful!
I practice the PM rock & tilt technique and 3 point contacts technique before i come across this video. it feels amazing because those two i come out myself and seeing you using the same technique is just mind blowing to me. cheers. keep it up!
