Yo I really like that the actual footage is being show to us as you film it, I think that's key because we can see what angle and movements you're taking and what it looks like real time
Yes, this video shows an excellent contrast between effective an ineffective production. Follow your emotions, its far easier to feel the scene in the 2nd video.
Jher and Soleil it’s actually super easy to shoot on the go. If you know what to look for you’ll be able to see the scene before it happens, you’ll also be able to manipulate movements as well.
Make them be the models and they’ll wait for you all the time. And if they have seen your work before (and if it’s good) they will ask you to be part of it.
Ryan Lawless Nicholas Ross Music yo would u be able to check out my recent film and lmk what you think? I’m looking for some feedback thank you! I’ll sub to you btw
I guess the takeaway is this for a lot of beginners: If you see cool things, go for it, go close, go around, frame it up, down, reversed, add movement, whatever. If you're not stimulated by the environment, GET STIMULATED. Pay attention! Even if an environment might seem bare at first, analyze it, film ALL OF IT. Wide, close up, tilt it, add movement. Just don't sit there and pan and think that's enough or you're not interested. Pay attention to your composition, make sure a frame is pretty and shoot. If it just looks ok, don't even be happy with it.

I really like that you did this all using one simple camera and no accessories. This helps to illustrate the point that achieving good footage has more to do with composition (visual choices) and concept (what you are trying to SAY with your video). It’s not about equipment; it’s what you DO with the equipment, however simple it might be. Good job!
I learned more in your 10 min video that I have in the last 2 years. I am going to take my well-intentioned but very average shorts and make them better now. You are amazing and thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge because it matters and really helps people. Thank you.
That is so awesome to hear! Really appreciate that and comments like this make me so happy to be creating videos and to have this amazing little community of filmmakers! Hope your shorts are going well!
Great job man. Authentic way of presenting your tutorial. I love the “live stream” view box in the lower left, and your to-the-point delivery. Good work.
I've been trying to get into recording and editing, especially with all the extra time now, but a lot of videos make it feel so overwhelming. This one gave me the impression that it's actually doable and it gave me a lot of inspiration!
Wow. I'm in awe. I love the fact that there's none of the expensive fancy equipment cause I cant afford those and I saw my mistakes in one videos. I love this so much, Thank you.
Favorite tip from this series was "shooting with purpose", which gets to the entire point of having a shot sheet on paper or in your mind even when doing run & gun shooting. Thanks Sean.
Agreed on so many levels, very good demonstration! I have one thing to add though: What people should avoid isn’t pans, but aimless pans. Pans are used a lot in B-roll of more old school documentary stuff and if you combine slow pans with static tripod stuff, you have a completely different style that also works. It’s not what’s currently popular on UA-cam, but it does work in specific contexts.
Sean I have to say, THHHAT was amazing bro !!! Very simple, but at the same time a few simple tips can TOTALLLLLY transform someones otherwise dull vacay video into something like it was out of a movie, like you said. I'm pretty creative, I did do a photography course in college, so I have a firm knowledge of exposure, framing etc. But I never tire of learning different ways of showing and shooting people and objects. I ACTUALLY do your palm tree style of shooting man WOOHOO !! One other thing most beginners do, and always get hung up on, is shen they shoot, they want to start and end the vid clip as if it's the finished product [ie no editing/cutting/splicing. Whereas, in many cases, that's the key to MAKING it look and have that "pro" feel. Loved this video and look forward to seeing more bro, CHEERS !!
Ok so I'm such a newb. This was perfect and I could understand it on my level. I love how we could watch you actually get the shot, the way you moved, and the pip vid as well. It totally clicked and I'm so happy I watched this! 10 minutes well spent.
This was very informative for someone just starting. I really appreciated how you took us through the mindset of a beginner, showed us the result and then went on to show us the better way to take these shots. It was great to see the step by step movements that go into creating these scenes. Thank you!
Nice explanation for those of us new to video and editing. I love how you show multiple techniques that can instantly increase the quality of a shot. Showing the actual in field process then showing the final cut was extremely helpful!
I was even impressed by the beginner b rolls he made and was wondering if as a beginner I could even do those, then I saw his professional version and my mind is blown. after seeing this I hit the subscribe button immediately. As a small channel, I need these skills in my life.
Hey Sean - great examples and explanation of "B" roll. I also liked how you did the editing with the speed ramping and the sound effects in the final clip. Brilliant. Thanks so much, Cheers Rick
You have lessons with what I would do and what I should do. You show the gap and you close it. You gave examples and it was clear you planned the lesson with intent. I'm subscribing and watching all your videos. Keep it up.
Ouch, this whole video was about my amateur photography skills. I'm glad tho that I'm learning day by day and getting better. Thanks for this video, awesome 👌
Holy... you just gave a full film class in about 10 min and I enjoyed it! I do some of these tricks but have not fully incorporated them like this. Thanks so much. I’m a new subscriber 🙏 stay healthy and blessed. I hope my channel will grow with tips! Namaste

Use this to make your footage look cinematic Forward shotwhere you are zooming through the subject Backward shot Rotation shot Macro shot Wide shot(steady) Time lapse Hyper lapse Portrait shot video (if you have someone with you) Make sure the background is blurry
Very educational video. The film of you filming and describing what you were seeing really showed in the end pro version. Beaches are beautiful but I’d love to see more B roll ideas for videos that are not quite so cinematic? Thanks a bunch for sharing.
This is a MAJOR game changer! I was attempting these type of shots not realizing it while also poorly executing. With your tips, I think I've found a gem for life
WOW! This can easily be a Masterclass on B-Roll, soo much great information here and will take anyone from mediocre to great looking videos. Plus there is no wasteful dialog just solid info from someone who actually knows what they are talking about hats off to you sir and keep em coming. #onemoresub
This is truly wonderful: dynamic, concise and to the point. Thank you very much! BTW, the light around 3:40-3:50 is so nice. Your friend should've shot just you in that light and cut it in the cinematic seq. Anyway, thanks again!
Actually the first real B-Roll tutorial I've seen here on UA-cam. Nice work. I agree to showing the footage you film as pic-in-pic. What most people get wrong about B-Roll: B-Roll is completely removeble footage without effecting the general clip/film in meaning! A lot of people misunderstand B-Roll and a lot of UA-camrs make poeple believe that B-Roll is about footage without talking poeple, that is wrong. Filming the same scene/subject from different angles is also not B-Roll, it's just different take. To get an idea: imagine John Wick without the scene of the dog being killed. That scene is absolutly essential despite no talking people. That scene is not B-Roll because it can not be replaced with some Russian kicking some plant or something. Hope that further helped to get an idea.
by "cinematic bars" do you mean black bars at the top and bottom? You'll be better off by cropping a slice of footage from top and bottom to get a more wide-screen aspect ratio (instead of adding black bars).
@@paulskalnenieks920 yes that is what i mean with cinematic bars. Altho i think its style preference to put those bars or slice top&bottom. But at least that is important to have in b-rol; he could refer to it in his video.
Not only you're a good filmmaker, you're also a good teacher. Secondary profession if you think about it one day. Thanks a lot man. Great video, great info, awesome techniques.
The difference is in the definition itself. Also I think the term "Cinematic" has been raped to points where it seems rather just cheesy than what its intended for.

That is the most valuable part of this video.
So true...it makes me wonder why tf don’t other people do it when they explain whatever it is

@@anubhavhere6160 too much eye level. Remember to dip lower or go higher to change perspective and slow it down. And get steadier. Get a gimble
Same concept applies to drone footage
"palm trees look good, let me film them" .... pure beginner's thoughts ... lol
Who else watching this Video while on Home Quarantine ☺️ Thank you for all this Ideas!
you're not alone!! very valuable tips!!
Yeah. Watching during Stay Home request. Be well, be safe. Fine video; worth the viewing.
Yep! We’re all here...dying to get out and try these things.

It's hard to get good broll sometimes when you hanging out and don't want to slow your friend group down xD

Sean Kitching make their asses wait is what I’m saying!!
As a new vlogger, this was invaluable to me; seriously, this helped me understand aspects of B-roll I had never really considered.

You didn’t need to attack me so bad with that beginners version.
Nailed it though didn't he haha
I really was like “oh crap, that’s me” 😂 Super helpful!!
I felt attached too
😂 me too
As long as you acknowledge it you're on the right track.
A helpful reminder to keep the perspective fresh, avoid rotating pans, pushing more, look for leading lines etc.

Love how you take your time to break down Simple’s movements for making great looking B rolls. I’d love to see more.
Just letting you know that you are greatly appreciated. Not too much hoopla and frills, just to the point, informative and very kind. Thank you!!
Great video.Thanks Sean.You are not just a good filmmaker but a amazing teacher.
This video was the turning point for the Sean Kitching brand on UA-cam
My learning curve was just shortened by watching this video! Thank you very much.
Loved that you talked and taught your way through the video. I'm trying to figure the art of filming out bit by bit. Thanks! :)
I couldn't even imagine that pro version could be so nice from such small amount of video capturing)
I capture always soooo much and then I make a fast cut and it's just 20s long and all weak 😂

Make sure the background is blurry

- Cinematic color grading
- everything at 60% speed

Its a bread
