When it comes to transitions I love watching music videos, they have to do so much to tell a story in such a short time that the transitions are sometimes insanely creative.
@@EyeMCreative two I can think of, Tame Impala's - The Less I Know The Better is covered in psudo match cuts and perspective shifts. And Lorn - Acid Rain is a 'oner' that has a great whip cut and a transition at the end that ties the video together nicely. Music aside, the videos are great reference especially for small projects.
I love that you were /actually/ talking about transitioning with audio when you transitioned with audio by playing the same scene again with the music bed music this time, which eventually took us to the musicbed plug. Well done!
FYI: Star Wars is possibly the only movie in history that can/will ever get away with those wipes! I think they should get a wammy award for being the only film that can do that! :P
Go watch the section in Oceans 11 where they convince Reuben, or any episode of Ugly Betty. Consider what they are doing critically in terms of telling us about the character in betty and the way it leads the viewers eye and invokes the period and genre of the original in Oceans. I'll wait.
@@pratyushrudra5797 The clip freezes halfway through the transition. This happens when you don't have enough of a 'tail' or the end of the clip for the whole transition. To complete the transition, the editing software will usually freeze frame the last frame of the clip until the transition is done.
I struggled with Scott Pilgrim as it was transition overload and prevented me from relaxing into the film. Baby Driver and the Cornetto trilogy do them so well. I also think the examples from your own films are *really* good at showing the value. Too often I rely on cut and fade.
A simple one that I will do fairly often is a cut or fade to black, and then start the next scene going from black to lit organically - like a candle being lit or the light coming from a door opening into a dark room.
I watch Tell three or four times a year and I’ve never noticed that wasn’t one shot. Also the first time I saw *THAT* jumpscare in the garage attic genuinely took years off my life.
Feel Sean Of The Dead was ahead of its time for transitions. To use them in a big film was amazing normally those transitions and in back to back usage has been the mainstay of the Vloging/youtube/online social media world and I have always loved them.
imagine how you would perceive a film that would be a continuous flow of words from the beginning to the end, just like this video, with no pauses to digest what has been said
Your guidance is appreciated. Many already known tips and tricks but as always it's your unique articulation of how you did it helps me and I'm sure others. Thank you. Thank you.
Scott Pilgrim is a comic book adaptation and most of transitions are brought to life from comic books themselves. Tho still it's in my top 5 movies ever made. I watched it like 300+ times. And yeah, Edgar Wright is the king of visual comedy and intelligent humor. His attention to all details in every frame are just astonishing. He's one of the best.
One of the films that I think has the best transitions of all time is The Fifth Element. Its one of my favorite films of all time and my favorite thing about it (aside from the amazing acting and costume & set design) is the transitions. There's one part where the space cruise ship is about to take off and there are like 5 different scenes with different characters transitioning back and forth in the same time span with all the transitions linking their individual stories together in such a fantastically brilliant way. If you haven't seen it recently, watch it again and pay close attention to the transitions, even if you just watch that ONE part. Absolute genius. Leon the Professional is a close runner up, making Luc Besson (IMO) one of my favorite directors, in terms of how he handles transitions.
I love transitions. My favorit transition is from Me, Myself and Irine. Where Jim Carry is just about to take a dump on the neighbours lawn, and it cuts to a close up on someone pouring chocolate icecream in a cup. Gets me every time :)
Yes! I love scene match-ups and action follow-throughs, and I always think of Breaking Bad when it comes to this. Your gunshot to ketchup transition captures this perfectly! Not only that, but it really adds so much more to the juxtaposition of the two scenes.
This is great that you tackle this important subject, which is NOT discussed enough! One transition that I absolutely love, and yet is seldom used, is the "rack out" where you quickly through the camera out of focus. There is so many different directions you can take this transition: example would be panning the camera while you are racking ou. Do you ever use this technique?
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has to be one of my favorite movies! Thank you so much for mentioning it! I actually only pressed the vid because of the cover...
You should check out the Saw films for some really creative transitions. I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I admire the way they tried to keep the stories connected and they got really clever with some of the transitions.
Absolutely great clips, however lets not overlook your narration guiding us through the details....without which so much of the learning process would go unnoticed and fall to the theater floor - and meet its sticky fate. Thank you very much for this one!
All useful techniques but what I mainly see in the big films is a well written mini story that transitions the scene. Someone gets on a bus or a plane then you see it touch down in another city or they blackout then wake up in a hospital things like that. It has to go beyond just a technical matter and be a true part of the story. To me that matters more than the particular style.
I was just looking at this series i did a yr ago, and rewatching i actually liked it, but im going to have to be more of a visual artist and a patient filmer/director/editor if i dont want it to be cheesy and this video is very helpful w that
Director David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago) was a master of the scene transition. Look to any one of his movies for a masterclass in the ways to make any jump seamless.
I frickin love Edgar Wright so much. He is an absolute genius. Scott Pilgrim is my all time favorite movie. And Baby Driver is also one of my favorites
Nice example with the ketchup/blood though id say it would be slightly better if the ketchup blood is framed better compared to where the blood would have been in the previous frame. Having the hit be center frame rather than bottom left felt a little off. Maybe even use a squeezie ketchup bottle nozzle framed right where the gun barrel was.
When I saw Scott Pilgrim the first time, and saw 7:07, I was so confused I actually had to pause the movie to absorb the miracle that had just happened.
Richard Hunsaker Pretty interesting, I believe everything you said. I thought film riot paid for their subs that’s why the views didn’t reflect. But there’s always something more complicated going on behind close doors
A lot of filmmakers try to copy Edgar Wright's transitions and never really nail it. I cant stand when they use that style for movies where that style doesnt work
Other movies with stylistic wipes that worked "Ocean's Eleven" (2001) and "The Sting," even though "Ocean's Eleven" was probably paying homage to "The Sting"
Great video!!!! And this is a bit off topic but is there any video on the channel or can there be a video on directing actors and working with actors? Especially after seeing what the director tells the actor before and after each take. Anyways amazing content as usual👍👍👍
Wipes, go watch the section in Oceans 11 where they convince Reuben, or any episode of Ugly Betty. Consider what they are doing critically in terms of telling us about the character in betty and the way it leads the viewers eye and invokes the period and genre of the original in Oceans. I'll wait. In a new hope it invoked the westerns and swashbuckling adventures that Star Wars was drawing from, in every further episode its invoking itself as it becomes part of the visual language of the franchise. Because, you know, pop eats itself.
Thank you for your presentation. An area not really covered anywhere is homemade productions for social networks. Any suggestions for a noob with regards to transitions between home movie clips and photos intermixed in a presentation on a social website? Any recommended software that handles the combination of both movies and photos, adds sound and allows some good basic effects and color adjustments ? Would love a vid on such a project for us just starting out?
Please use another sales distributor then triunedigital, have tried 10 times to buy the western lut pack, and have tried with different cards and buying from different devices and even made a paypal account just to pay for them but it just is not possible for some reason. It comes up with the same message everytime, something like unavailable. And have tried contacting support but there is no support!😡
You guys are LIFE to people like me teaching themselves the art of visual storytelling. Thank you!
When it comes to transitions I love watching music videos, they have to do so much to tell a story in such a short time that the transitions are sometimes insanely creative.
Do you have some examples of your favorite transitions in music videos? I would be interested in seeing a couple.

Music aside, the videos are great reference especially for small projects.
Music video transitions are more stylized & aren’t usually used in film, a slightly different flow
great idea, let me just change the channel to MTVwaiiiit...
BBC's Sherlock has some EPIC transitions
They should definitely do some sort of video on that.
I love these types of videos where Ryan is just chatting into the camera. They're really entertaining and educational.
Sherlock holmes (uk series) is loaded with great transitions!
Sherlock
Mask transitions the mostly...
As a documentary filmmaker, there is no way I can think of transitions ahead of time.
Using sound works like a charm.
I just watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World last night. I smiled.. at transitions. So good.
Ditto!!
I love that you were /actually/ talking about transitioning with audio when you transitioned with audio by playing the same scene again with the music bed music this time, which eventually took us to the musicbed plug.

@@StravaigingMTB Legend says he is still waiting
1:29 - the wipe hits the end of the clip :O
Something we've all done and get worked up over, yet Edgar Wright and his editor do it right here too haha
good catch!
Can you please explain what you mean exactly?

Stranger Things is also packed with incredible and creative transitions!
Galin Swigart agreed agreed agreed!
Love Stranger things and it’s creativity can’t wait for season 4

Nothing like a good old fashioned Film Riot episode :)
One of my favorite films is Tucker The Man and His Dreams and it has some truly amazing scene transitions.
I saw that movie as a kid and haven't heard about it again until recently. I started thinking it didn't exist... I need to rewatch it.
thank you Ryan and awesome people at Film Riot for the years of tutorials and education you give to the people !

Best video on Transitions and important it is and if used correctly and creatively can bring a whole new dynamics to the film.

Great transition in Me, Myself & Irene when he drops a deuce on his neighbors lawn and it cuts to soft serve ice cream.
Jamie Martlew yes!!! I remember that, great/hilarious transition 😂😁
Hot Fuzz had some of the best transitions ever!
Glad Scott Pilgrim is getting some love here. Layer Cake also has some sick transitions
You should check out the Saw films for some really creative transitions. I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I admire the way they tried to keep the stories connected and they got really clever with some of the transitions.
literally yesterday I was thinking about this, thanks!!
Hey love what you guys do! I'm officially coming into my my third class at full sail!
Going to try some of these transitions in some of our videos. Great video! 👍
I love your jokes. "Just move the camera" I would've never thought of that...lol
great video, also Scott Pilgrim against the world is one of my alltime favorite movies XD
Coming back to rewatch this after just seeing Scott Pilgrim vs The World for the first time!! Great video and great movie. 😁👊🏻
That ketchup transitions was actually really creative.....might just steal it
Your all videos are super informative...
thank you....
Ryan really needs to get on MasterClass! Such an expert of film. 👌🏻
I love this. Thank you.
Man, I need all the tips I can get! Thanks for these videos
That was a really useful video. Thanks for that. I’ll try to use some of this stuff on my channel to make it more interesting
Absolutely great clips, however lets not overlook your narration guiding us through the details....without which so much of the learning process would go unnoticed and fall to the theater floor - and meet its sticky fate. Thank you very much for this one!

You're an excellent visual director. Time to make a feature, buddy.
Not that it has anything to do with transitions but Parasite also has a bunch of awesome matching shots throughout the movie
Fantastic video! I absolutely love all of your content. Super helpful for emerging filmmakers! 🎬❤️🎬

Great video! What is the example at 9:47 (knitting to soil tilling)? That is pretty amazing!
Also thank you very much for the video! I’m not really director material yet but I love learning from you :)

Amazing video man. I'm definitely going to use it as reference for the films I do.
Edgar Wright is the KING of transitions!
Transitions in films are like mag wheels on a car. The right ones can make your film stand out and the wrong ones can make it go unnoticed.
I saw Scott Pilgrim and I clicked
Dark is full of advanced 8:49 shots
Awesome
it reminds me of the transition used in watchtower of turkey.
You ever just wish you could un-see Scott Pilgrim so that you can go back and watch it again with fresh eyes.
That ketchup transition is so cool
When I saw Scott Pilgrim the first time, and saw 7:07, I was so confused I actually had to pause the movie to absorb the miracle that had just happened.
I would've bought merch, but it costs like 3x the cost of the item itself to ship the item to Europe.
You win yourself a sub. Superb content
Nice!, love Edgar Wright !
I made a little shy to 800 bucks last year from UA-cam. I can only imagine what film riot pulls in a year ❤️💪🏼✌️
Richard Hunsaker oh wow didn’t know that. I’m guessing at least 100k a year to stay doing youtube

ALWAYS Cut on Action!
Your movies tend to be lit darkly. Is it cheaper to do dark filming? Or do you just have most free time at night?
Thanx man.
I was stuck.
