Wow, an actual "gimbal moves" tutorial that is extremely helpful.
Others have said it, but I've learned more in these 5 minutes than I have from watching hours of other tutorials. Super fantastic

[@jacques_crafford]

This is a HUGE compliment and I am so thankful. Really happy to hear that you have learnt so much. Thank you for your continued support on my channel. ☺️

[@briannorwick]

This is epic!! Love all the little points of information you add

[@vernonwilliambaumann9321]

Hey Jacques. I love your videos and your channel. I'm a teacher and I started a film club at our school. We've progressed so far that we're actually in the pre-prod stage of our very own telenovela - I worked as a storyliner on Binnelanders a few years back. In any case, your channel is a major source of inspiration and it's compulsory viewing for all my cameramen and aspiring directors. Thanks, man. You make us proud as South Africans!

[@vistasuprema]

Just wanted to add this in: One of the biggest mistakes people make with moves like the "pan tilt follow" is rushing the end. It takes a lot of body control to get through those shots, and there's a tendency to speed up toward the end. Try to fight that urge unless the shot demands an increase in camera movement speed.

[@johnsonfranklin3971]

Thanks for the teaching it was amazing and helpful to me

[@mahbubkhan5279]

Love the tips in this video. Recently acquired a gimbal. Question I had in regards to the starting point in number 1. What are you focusing on to then ensure the subject is in focus as you sweep down?

[@Souchoroukof]

For this kind of shots do you trust autofocus (especially in those shots that the subject moves from the centre to the left or right third). Would love to know your focus settings too ! Great gimbal moves by the way! Thanks for sharing

[@wildnaeg6]

Thanks for asking I was going to ask the same thing so I'm following

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks Alex! That's a good question! I made a whole tutorial about it which you can watch here ua-cam.com/video/AGgUSVkHcCM/v-deo.html but in short: I use Wide Mode with Eye Autofocus when I'm shooting a person (where they eye is visible). On some shots I enable the tracking feature to stay on a subject where I can't see the eye and then some shots are just a little hit & miss in wide mode but it helps to keep your main subject in the centre and shooting wide open actually helps to create "contrast" between your subject & the background giving me better results with the focus.

[@orangerecords_studio]

@@jacques_crafford plaease share with uts the settings of DJI ronin Rs3. Ican not get it to work propersly, and UA-camrs here have very differeint suggestions .

Jacques, could you please share how focus was established/racked when switching between subjects, like in the shot at 1:25?

[@Takeonm]

Amazing tips! Thankss

[@huntstyle]

I need more gimbal practice, because all of these would look HORRIBLE with me operating the gimbal 🤣

[@ruffatoluca3271]

I need a gimbal at first😂

[@kismat_rana]

I bought even small M3s but used only once now staying in the corner of my room !!
Having same interest of good partner would be good to work otherwise practicing alone in the mass very awkward 😂

Me tooooo, Ive been using my RS3 Pro for a week or two and even though the footage is INFINITELY smoother than before, when compared to pros I'm like "😬Oooof holy shit I suck at this 👀"

[@mlrealtor]

Your videos have taught me more in a few minutes than years of workshops, thank you! I would also love to see a video of your gimbal settings, thanks!

[@jacques_crafford]

That means so much to me, I hope to share lots more on here!

[@__Engineer-dm1eb]

Thanks for teaching us 💫

[@mjpixels5328]

There are many videos about gimbal videos in you tube but this is very much useful
Lots of details..
Custom speed settings..
Well composed bts to get clear idea..
Epic shots and smooth moves..
Thank you so much for your efforts…
As this video is all about gimbal moves there is not much information reg video specs,
Not only the content, video quality is great…
We are expecting a dedicated video on details about camera settings reg bitrates, log information, exposure settings, resolution
Coz your videos look cinematic…

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks MJ, you are most kind! My goal is to put out quality tutorials without the fluff. I try to steer away from gear talk but I will do some more focus on camera settings etc :) Best wishes
