This video is a cool showcase of the contrasting skills between beginners and professionals in B-roll videography. The side-by-side demonstrations are both educational and entertaining. I hope to see more videos like this in different situations or locations. Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Haha the beginners version is a bit of an exaggeration but it made me smile because I do that sometimes with my phone for vertical videos to post on Instagram... great video ;)

Very exaggerated. And yet it did have a cool look for some nostalgic 8 mm B-roll.

It’s really useful for me. Thanks for the sharing.

Sean, Thank you for this type of presentation. It was a good idea to show both sides of creating a video. From a beginner to a more advanced. In how to see and capture image's. Keep up the great presentations.

Great video Sean! You gave me lots to think about when I am shooting. Take care.

Very cool video show case. I will need to get out and apply what you have shown here. Thank you very much!

Always enjoy these videos. Definitely helps keep the creative juices flowing. Thank you.

I like the 70-30 rule. Thank you. I also like the movement in the focused shots. 🙂

Enjoyed a number of your videos today!

EPIC work bro!

perfect...many thanks

Sean, thanks so much. Great teaching. I really like the pace of your videos. In the pro version, I loved the contrast between the short clips and the longer, slower ones

Awesome, thank you! Yeah cool that you noticed that, nice to keep the cuts unpredictable

One of the best videos I’ve seen yet. Super simple and you didn’t use a gimbal witch shows it’s not the tools. It’s the man using them .

Loved it ❤

This is so nice. We learned a lot of new things 😁

Outstanding

Thanks for your effort, Sean. It seems I already know most of those tips but when I'm out on the field I constantly forget to do everything quite right. I think it's just a matter of practice but meanwhile your videos helps me to remember all the things I should do when trying to take the best shots I can to polish my skills in order to take my vids on a better and more interesting level. As for your question about the difference between the two videos, I would say that in the pro version you think not in terms of long video footage but more likely in terms of single shots-much as in photography-from which to form a video. And not every shot may necessarily require to move the camera especially when there is enough mouvement in the scene and when it would be good to put some mouvement, it has to be done gently. Thanks again. Philip.

Yeah I know the feeling. Easy to forget certain things when there is so much going on but definitely agree, repeating the process over and over helps. Nice way of thinking about it being like taking a photo, guess you wouldn’t just shoot images all over the place haha. Glad you enjoyed it!

Keren, wow

Nice brother

The idea of the video is nice and will help many beginners. But only some shots in the second version, the “pro”, look actually professionals. Because the video is often shaky and is totally flat. Never shallow background, that adds beauty. You had a filter, but obviously you get that with proper camera settings. Also a built in active stabilization would help someone that doesn’t have a very steady hand, and for sure a further stabilization in post will do the final touch; last but not least, pulling the focus from time to time to reveal details would make the video more interesting.

informative video.

Pleasure. In some cases yeah it can help with getting rid of the shake. For a push in for example. But I try to create them in camera when possible, it has a different look and being able to move the actual camera lets the background and foreground shift in a way that just doesn't translate from adding keyframes :)

What is the long accessory that connects your cage to your 360 camera's tripod? I've looked for "long cheese plate" things everywhere and have never had luck.

How long do you recommend each shot be?

Excellent tips!. Did you over expose +1.7?

sean question where is hannah, how come I don't see her with you anymore since your last couple of videos.

❤

Neat pro version, but I believe you could have done a much better edit. Some shots seemed kinda repetitive somehow. I loved the bird liftoff. Perfect timing catching it. Excellent.

9:00 shooting directly into the sun is allowed!

Are you staying on auto ISO with a reasonable high iso limit, and 1/50 for the 180 degree rule, then changing your aperture for each scene?

& is that an nd filter on the lens? One of my New Year’s resolutions is to start filming more with my camera as I usually only shoot drone footage 90% of the time and I gotta practice more with handheld footage. I have the a7iii & Tamron 28-75, which is pretty much only used for photography. I recently got a freewell 2-5 & 6-9 variable ND and really plan to try and get some proper footage.

beginner would share unedited clips. I know, i'm doing it :D So your takes might be beginner but with edits it looks better than expected.

What do you think the main difference is between the two videos? Hope you enjoyed the tips!

First, thanks for the comment today. Glad you saw a video. I liked the ending in today's video as you changed the focus on the rocks. Seems to serve the same purpose as pulling out to end the scene. The choice of using a quick shutter click to end the clip might serve as a good future video about "endings". Before editing software was around video directors/editors probably left a lot of film on the floor, or burned several more reels of film trying to find that perfect look and sound end the scene. Maybe you could show us what's new or trending in today's cinema world. Thanks again for the comment. Scott

Were all of the clips at the end in slow motion anyways? I thought you mentioned that you didn’t want to use strictly slow motion.

7:49 isolate subject and be intentional with the shot

You could also flip the footage if needed So it goes the way you want :)

Good example of a video. However I found the cuts too fast in the pro version and not really comprehensive and maybe the colorgrade was a bit undercontrasty for my taste.

But gopro still have a great credit for the amazing stabilization while ur shooting and amazing color ❤. I love GoPro

Yeah definitely but also very limiting with the wide lens and things

10:50 get involved - move involved, don't always rely on the zoom!

the beginner is when you first time doing documentary video of your family vacation. its not good but memorable for a raw moment.

7:00 one movement at a time: 1. Slide across 2. Pan forward 3. Pan backwards

Lol I did all the beginner shot today morning 😂

it's funny. I kind of like the beginner version. Has a dad-cam vibe to it...hahaha. It really depends on what your trying to convey with your story. Pro-version 120FPS always makes things look cool though

@seankitching

8 ай бұрын

Haha yeah its definitely a vibe actually. Definitely a popular style these days but I would do it a bit differently if it was intentional. Maybe a nice idea for a video actually ;)

Thanks Sean! Potentially personal preference, but you specifically-do you always follow the double shutter speed when you are shooting mixed frame rates during something like this, or do you just leave your shutter speed around 50 (if shooting 24fps) no matter whether your slow motion is 60fps, 120fps etc? Thanks!

8:39 low angles + consistent movement

I do hope you did not end up looking like a red tomato after your beginner vs pro demonstration. Nice to see you back in action.

As the first time I take my video camera out. I shot many beginner scene with a really serious and professional face😂😂😂

12:00 pro version takes more effort and time!

10:00 70/30 rule (do more research)

I love how the pro version footage shows the camera is out of focus and shakey for most of the shots, your shots are not aligned with the horrizon so giving that slight awkard dutch angle feel to your pan up shots. The complete none rhythmic meaningless shaking of the camera as it pans up gives it that nice unprofessional gritty feel and not showing how beautiful, vibrant and elegant the sceneries are. Also the fact that you put a NID filter over your lense gives it that amazing blend and dull color pallete to show case just how boring and depressing the beach is. Can't wait to buy your course work and learn all these useless "pro" skills and get 0 paying clients. Nice! Keep up the good work!
