This is a really great demonstration that the real distinguishing feature of high end production isn't the sophisticated toys but the level of expertise of the crew and the time taken to get it right.
Mind-blowing behind-the-scenes look! 🎬 The level of precision and skill that goes into achieving those impossible Hollywood gimbal shots is truly awe-inspiring. Kudos to Chris Herr and the entire team for turning the impossible into reality! 👏🎥
The first scene reminds of the car chase in The Raid 2. The way they passed the camera through the car to guy dressed as the car seat, then to another person lying outside the car. Crazy work 🔥
It is amazing how this channel keeps evolving from travel feels and travel vlogs to tutorials and equipment reviews and now Hollywood thank you Matti Haapoja and the whole team you work with to bring these videos to us. Thank you Chris Herr for saving time to share with us your experience.
Good series. One note, Chris Herr isn't miked or mixed properly; his audio is much quieter than Matti's. I kept having to adjust the volume depending on who was speaking. Otherwise, great job.
Wow. I would have bet money that on the second sequence that was an invisible cut when it passed out of focus the brick wall in the near field. Perfect setup for a transition.
There was this shot in 'Birds of Prey' when Helena went down a slide followed by one of the bad guys. The camera started in the front then somehow went IN BETWEEN Helena's legs to the rear view revealing her on top of the bad guy. Would've LOVED to see the BTS of how it was done 🔥
That was our DP matty hand holding the camera and literally just sliding down the slide. We also had a custom metal track built into the top of the slide that we rigged a remote head to.
That was super cool. Can I call being the next assistant to the assistant to the assistant to just shadow Chris for the day??? That would be so cool. Great interview!
Oh damn this was super insightful to watch! More of these! I was stoked to spot myself in the bts watching them film the Robinhood spot below my apt building in dtla.
I'm really enjoying this new...style? format? of videos, it seems as though you are enjoying them as well! Thanks for your work to keep us entertained and educated.
Really helpful seeing your lighting setup and different angles! The atmosphere light is something I probably need to add to my setup. Got to say, angle 1 might be my favorite!
The opening scene in Red Notice is one of the best shots I have ever seen. They did a drone shot to a hand held shot. I don't know how, maybe the camera man grabbed the drone mid air
Matti please, as a fellow Finn, you just had to notice that one guy with the "Paskal Lightning" shirt 😂 This video series is defo the most important series on all of TH-cam. Keep it up!
Hi ironic, I just discovered Chris’s channel yesterday because of his Movi experience. He works with Shane who has hosted countless classes on moviemaking. Time to move to LA Matti!
I shoot with an apsc Sony mirrorless and had the opportunity to use a c500, even it being 15 years old and manual focus…omg I was in love with it. I have my eye on a full c200 kit, just need to save the pennies😂
Yo, I started my filming creative journey with you, since 2020 covid times. Appreciate you, for motivating me, because if there were no people like you, I wound sell my gear after a half year. Still wait for you uploads. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
watched the whole thing in one sitting! great video! i know that it takes a lot of effort to film something, but i really didn't think it was this big.
WOW This is the greatest BTS video ever. You don't usually get this content. Would love to hear more about the decision on camera gear for given scenes.
TBH I unfollowed you and a bunch of other channels that were all doing the exact same reviews of the exact same gear (oh, wait, a new middle tier mirrorless camera!). Then your video with Lawrence Sher popped on my feed, I watched it, and resubbed! I am very thankful for informational and instructive content! I know the reviews pay the bills, but if we (your audience) actually wants to improve our craft we need to worry less about gear and more about everything else! Thank you!
Loved this one! I’ve done some small gimbal work for a few short films and lower budget commercial work and I can’t imagine the coordination and core strength it takes to do some of these shots 😂
I am actually trying to build out a shopping cart rig right now. Would love to see a picture of the rig itself. Mind needs to push in the street and really need to smooth out the movement to avoid it looking like a seizure.
So super cool. And so nice to see that all these amazing effects are created "manually by real people". One question about the bus-through-sequence: How heavy is such a rig in total ?
As a Dolly grip, I think there should be a good recognition on the trust of the person behind him watching his back non stop and also operating the cranes. It was mentioned but not specifically . Just saying. Very cool stuff tho!
Thank you so much for the deep dive! Its incredible, how much effort and expertise is going into these productions! Matti, what a great idea for a new format on your channel! :)
Matti hello, if you don't mind? I have 2 notes 1. the sound on Chris Herr is lower than your sound, it is hard to hear him. 2. it will be nicer to see the entire original shot, and then break it apart and talk about it.
Great video and I love your new direction - just a comment, your "yea, Yea yea yea yea" affirmations get in the way at times.... no biggie but something to be aware of. Keep it up!!
This makes me want to do some of those handoff shots. Man, it must be cool to work with a team of people working together and not against each other. I get SOOO annoyed when I'm asked if shots are possible, "can we do this, is that possible" because it doesn't come from a creative problem solving standpoint but more from an arrogant "make it work, I dunno" vibe.
I understand u a lot, and that's why we have to build a team with people having the same mindset (but actually as a beginner I'm in the same situation as you and it create a lot of arguments all along the project)
🤓 My initial thought was a smaller camera rig as you mention. I wonder why this had to be done with this larger rig. Compatibility w/the rest of the equipment? 🤔
Sure you could do a similar shot, but having the raw recording and flexibility in post is valuable when there’s hundreds of thousands of dollars being spent for everything else, this was also shot before the FX3. The extra mass of the rig actually results in a more stabile image and helps remove the footsteps you see with lightweight rigs. Same goes for Steadicam, the heavier the rig the better/smoother the movement.
I'm watching this unbelievable bus shot and all I can think is "I swear to god, if I was there I'd like to slap that woman with her shoes on the seat."
Who should we try to get on the show next????
Christopher Nolan. Shoot for the stars, aim for the moon 😁
@@Leicam10 or just bring back the matti and pete show lol
Greg Fraiser
Me to watch you the episode before everyone 😂🎉
why Chris looks like Danny Gervitz Cousin? or Brother...
This is a really great demonstration that the real distinguishing feature of high end production isn't the sophisticated toys but the level of expertise of the crew and the time taken to get it right.
I mean still a technocrane is 0.5 mil mate 😅 so its not like you can do it with 1k budget
I’m so in on this series . Thanks for providing real value on BTS stuff

Most valuable TH-cam series ever I can’t imagine any other way of getting this insider knowledge! Thanks Matti!

finally! some REAL CINEMATIC stuff!!
got tired of the cinematic b-roll over and over again in the past.
definitely resubscribing!
Good series. One note, Chris Herr isn't miked or mixed properly; his audio is much quieter than Matti's. I kept having to adjust the volume depending on who was speaking. Otherwise, great job.
I think it’s the different of personality, that make this sounds like this.
Didn’t notice any difference…
@@DrWasim me too, only the energy. Thats it!
@@DrWasimI did it’s clear
@@dariencabreraphotofilmsit’s volume…
oh i love this series, get to learn a lot and this just inspires u to do more and to burst ur bubble ... thank you Matti and Chris
I love youtube and it's content for real bro it's just provides so much education for my brain
I love these kinds of videos, they are helpful to see how much work goes into shots that we barely acknowledge 😅
Wow. I would have bet money that on the second sequence that was an invisible cut when it passed out of focus the brick wall in the near field. Perfect setup for a transition.
pleeease keep up with these. this series is amazingly informative and insightful. thanks
Love seeing how they do these kinds of shots! Also.... did you guys coordinate your wardrobe beforehand? 😜
Can't stop don't stop with these Matti. Brilliant to see the BTS shots right next to the finals 🙏🏻
this kind of stuff is super cool to geek out to
Love this series. Question: Why is the audio so low on this video?
There was this shot in 'Birds of Prey' when Helena went down a slide followed by one of the bad guys. The camera started in the front then somehow went IN BETWEEN Helena's legs to the rear view revealing her on top of the bad guy. Would've LOVED to see the BTS of how it was done 🔥

Wow. Very nice to see this technique. Thanks for sharing.
Best episode so far, lerned a lot. Thank Matti for bringing this series
Amazing guys!!! I love this kind of videos!! Keep going Matti!
They left the crane in the commercial haha!
That was super cool. Can I call being the next assistant to the assistant to the assistant to just shadow Chris for the day??? That would be so cool. Great interview!
WOW!! Those shots look like VFX... that's awesome!!
This channel is going in the perfect direction for new aspiring film makers
Oh damn this was super insightful to watch! More of these! I was stoked to spot myself in the bts watching them film the Robinhood spot below my apt building in dtla.
Loving this series
That was so cool to see how it's made. Great interview!
BRUBAR. Congratulations to you and Gabs on your new addition to the team! We also just had a boy born and that Bru bar looks like a life saved 😂
thank you MATTI really interesting guest and topic
Great talk Chris and Matti!
This series is brilliant! Love it 🔥
I'm really enjoying this new...style? format? of videos, it seems as though you are enjoying them as well! Thanks for your work to keep us entertained and educated.
Really helpful seeing your lighting setup and different angles! The atmosphere light is something I probably need to add to my setup. Got to say, angle 1 might be my favorite!
Love these videos! We need more of these. Especially with the BTS! so informative 💯
It's quite inspiring sir keep uploading behind the scenes
this is awsome, Willy is a boss!
love this series
Love to see videos like this Matti.
love this format
Great talk! Enjoyed watching this one

Hi!
I'm bummed I can't hear his audio, super quiet
I shoot with an apsc Sony mirrorless and had the opportunity to use a c500, even it being 15 years old and manual focus…omg I was in love with it. I have my eye on a full c200 kit, just need to save the pennies😂
Casual Matti with a $100,000 ARRI camera in the background 😂
I was just thinking about that 😂
Matti, thank you for these videos😢

this is gold!
KEEP THESE COMING !!!
Ooooh this is a long one, I'll have to take a day off and a box of pop corn 🍿🥳
Enjoy the 🍿 😊
@mattih thanks buddy, putting my monocle on 🧐
great series, do more homie!
I am actually trying to build out a shopping cart rig right now. Would love to see a picture of the rig itself. Mind needs to push in the street and really need to smooth out the movement to avoid it looking like a seizure.
finally im liking your channel again, nice content comeback
Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
more please !
So super cool. And so nice to see that all these amazing effects are created "manually by real people". One question about the bus-through-sequence: How heavy is such a rig in total ?
Probably around 25 lbs, can’t hold it like that for very long.
@@chrisherr Wow. That is around 11kg. I am fighting with my 4kg rig when the take is getting long .... But it's a nice workout :D
I really like this series! Just one thing, his audio level was a bit low at times! Apart from that, awesome video!
As a Dolly grip, I think there should be a good recognition on the trust of the person behind him watching his back non stop and also operating the cranes. It was mentioned but not specifically . Just saying. Very cool stuff tho!
I never would have thought that h the bus poles were composited into the footage in post 🤯
Loved this.
Can bearly hear chris when matti talks
Thank you so much for the deep dive! Its incredible, how much effort and expertise is going into these productions!
Matti, what a great idea for a new format on your channel! :)
@mattih what service do you use for your background music?
Homie perpetually talking over his guests and laughing
These are good episodes
🙏🏻
Matti hello, if you don't mind?
I have 2 notes
1. the sound on Chris Herr is lower than your sound, it is hard to hear him.
2. it will be nicer to see the entire original shot, and then break it apart and talk about it.
I like these episodes
ctfuu great convo and I learned alot next spike lee lol
Great video and I love your new direction - just a comment, your "yea, Yea yea yea yea" affirmations get in the way at times.... no biggie but something to be aware of. Keep it up!!
I would love to work with Red Bull Photography! 🔥
Whats with the guy on the phone (on bus) looking out through the windows, was that intentional? looked like he was distracted.
I don't know if it's just this imac but the sound on your voices is incredibly bassy
great video, thanks
I would have loved to know if they shot on a higher frame rate for the second advert? Also how did they not get themselves in the reflection?
love it!!!!
I guess Matti isn't Finnish enough to chuckle at "Paskal Lighting" xD
Inspiration video 🎉
great episode
The entire video “ yeah yeah yeah yeah…”
My friend JJ is the Asian dude with the flowers on the bus 😂 small world
Cool insight to camera work, now you should watch one on audio! Got to mic the dude
Excellent
This makes me want to do some of those handoff shots. Man, it must be cool to work with a team of people working together and not against each other.

Take a shot every time Matti says "yeah," take two every time he says "yeah yeah yeah.' 😅
Very nice 👍🏻
What's crazy is you could have done it with the poles in with an FX3 and a consumer DJI gimble. Would have been very similar without vfx involved
🤓 My initial thought was a smaller camera rig as you mention.
I wonder why this had to be done with this larger rig.
Compatibility w/the rest of the equipment? 🤔

very goood! But where is the sound, MAtti?
I would love to see a camera operator do an arm wrestling match 😂
Fun!
