    Who needs a gimbal when you have magic hydraulic arms?!

  • @DaviAyres
    @DaviAyres 4 роки тому +157

    Just a tip
    In the tree's flower shot, instead of going out of focus to in focus, do the contrary. Start in focus and go backwards loosing focus. Then, reverse it in the edit. It works like a charm.
    Keep up the good work! Great video.

    I love how you show a preview after taking the little bit of b-roll. Makes me excited and happy

    Damn I love how you are able to ignore the people who wonder what you are doing. I still get very self conscious about people looking at me while I'm recording. Half the time, I'm not even talking into the camera which I'm sure would be even harder. Maybe you should write a video about that one day mate. Anyway, thanks for the tips. Whoever gave this video a thumbs down is a weak hater with serious mental issues. They are jealous that their work sucks and instead of working on doing better, with your tips, they rather live life a loser. Cheers Mate!

      I am 100% with you on this one! I was very self conscious for a long time, trying to put videos together and getting absolutely no where as I'd lose my trail of thought every time someone would walk near me ... I could be knocking a shot out the park, see someone and freeze 😦👎 Keep at it though, for me it was just a case of scripting bullet points so I had a rough idea what I wanted to say, taking a deep breathe, fighting that fear and rolling with it ... Eventually I began to see nobody really bothered and those who did actually took an interest, asking questions about my channel & giving advice on what I should be looking to film in their towns, etc 😁

    I've been loving this series!! At times, I came home from a shoot and go through the clips and felt so unsatisfied that I never used them, but I couldn't put my finger on what I was doing "wrong." I'm realizing from your tips that I've been doing silly little things like filming 10-second clips in which I spend 5 seconds looking for the shot. These tips will definitely help me maximize my time and storage, and I'm excited to use them in my next video, so thank you !!

  • @swapnilverma937

  • @IaanFamily
    @IaanFamily 4 роки тому +1

    You made that look way too easy. In your cuts, did people complain about being videotaped? I'm always worried some stranger will go off on me if I'm randomly recording and they cross into my view.

  • @zhour11
    @zhour11 4 роки тому +5

    Hey, Thomas. For the flower shot, you can always start in focus on the subject and then move backwards and then play the clip in reverse in post so that it looks like you're moving into focus. Just a thought. Daniel Schiffer does a great job explaining it in his videos.

  • @ExploringCanadaInfo
    @ExploringCanadaInfo 3 роки тому +6

    I really appreciate how you emphasized sequencing the shots, moving from wide to close. Always easier to plan your shots and how they’re going to fit together then feel the frustration of missing a key shot when you’re putting things together in post. Super well done video. So helpful. Thank you very much.

  • @kvitalij82
    @kvitalij82 4 роки тому +3

    Thomas, this is amazing techniques and explanation. Also good idea to show short samples in between shooting rather that waiting for the last part to see the full clip.
    I recently started doing a bit of videos myself, and I was struggling to get stable shots handheld. but they way you do it, just amazes me. Thank you for great hands on tutorial.
    I can't get nowhere near the way you are doing, practice makes perfect _ I guess. Got a gimball for smooth shots and that solved few issues, but the weight of it kills me after a full day of walking around. Plus XH1, Well you have to sacrifice in some other areas in order to get a desired smooth shooting. Thank you. Will wait for more videos like that from you.

    Hey Thomas...just wanted to pop in and say thank you. I've noticed that you took some of the suggestions/requests and applied them over the recent videos...specifically how to shoot in locations other than the forest.
    There is still one request that I believe would be helpful for most of us...and that is how to shoot these cinematic shots but with subjects as we more often than not travel with family/friends.
    Great stuff though...thank you!

  • @BrokenFrameProductions
    @BrokenFrameProductions 4 роки тому

    Might I suggest not using auto exposure? Your exposure is all over the place between shots (and since we can see it change depending on where you point the camera in the picture-in-picture, it's clear that it's on auto), which doesn't make for great footage. Learn to expose manually and it'll immediately look less amateurish. Keep it up!
