How to Use a Miniature Pirate Ship to Create an Epic Rum Commercial [Tutorial + Breakdown]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- This was by far the most difficult product shoot I have ever done. My general concept morphed along the way to fit a more plausible outcome, but I set out to use a miniature boat and make it look close enough to the shots you see in Hollywood films.
I learned a lot in this process, but most importantly: not to give up on my project!

I start learning product vidiography becouse of you !! Thanks austen ❤
Wow that is awesome to hear!
This is Insane, The effort involved in this project is Top! Keep Making these We love them.😋
It was a ridiculous amount but learned a lot!!
Before watching this video I knew it would just look so beautiful.
Haha thanks Zayd!!
the problem with that ship is that it moves so fast.
Yeah slowed it down if I had a camera that could shoot a little slower I’d be solid
Yes. 60 fps slowed down would have been enough.
@@AustenPaul What would i probably do is i wouldn't show it moving at all. I would just show a little clip when the lighting hits. That would get the idea of the ship across but it wouldn't be so hart to execute
MY MAN. You are crazy skilled. This channel needs more recognition!!
You’re awesome! Thank you so much for saying that!
Austen: Uses a toy boat that costs a few bucks
Pirate of the Caribbean: Why did I not think of that?
Hah the best comment!
@@AustenPaul Actually Wow thanks!
@@AustenPaul Keep up the good work. You are actually so creative!!
damn! that was real fog? i thought that was just a stock footage. This is so good man! From the coin toss, underwater shot, til the end! I wish Kraken will see this or any Liquor brands and get you for their commercial. You the best man!
That would be so amazing haha maybe one day!
Austen Paul i know you’ll get there! Thanks for answering
What a parrallax is, is
What a parrallax is,
What a parrallax IS
Haha!
Because you have your own style, if you keep doing these bts tutorials your channel is going to be the next big thing. I really believe that. A lot of channels start off teaching and then turn into a vlog and/or equipment review channel. And, they're typically reviewing gear way out of the budget of the average videographer. If you watch the market most creators struggle with not only creativity but how to execute their ideas. Your channel solves that problem.
I’m really not trying to sell anything I want to stay away from that as much as possible but I do have to make a living as well so who knows if I keep growing but I can promise I will always keep it original there is no point for me to do a green screen tutorial or basic lighting setups having the same content as 1000 other people doesn’t help anyone grow and learn.
This is dope and all but I did you intend this to be black and white? The lighting is super flat so when you convert to black and white it dosnt look as edgy.
Maybe some smoke or a at least grain make ot feel abit more gritty.
Do grain could have been good but yeah it is meant to be no saturation I was aiming to match their marketing photos
This is your best product shoot! Awesome work!
Wow thank you so much!!
That's insane, amazing video/s keep going. You are my idol👌🏻🔥📸😄
Hardcore ways to make this commercial LOL
Butter!! Who needs dairy farms, this cat is making butter on the regular!! Great video bro, I am a fan!! That smoke over the bottle, absolute butter!!!!
Duuude un-bloody-believable.. you have left every other camera TH-camr so far behind in the dust! My guy!!!!👊🏼👊🏼
Wow thank you for that comment much appreciated!!
Austen, I only first came across your content last week, but in that time have spent countless hours sourcing inspiration and filmmaking tips from your videos. With this whole (dare I say it) pandemic occurring, the creative portion of my brain has started to peak, as I'm sure it's done with many others around the world! I've just taken the plunge in posting my first TH-cam video/short movie in YEARS thanks to you! Going to keep at it and GET SHIT DONE!!! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION! YOU DA MAN
Wow so happy to hear that, I was scared to start doing this at the beginning but so happy that I did when I hear stories like this. Really stoked for you keep creating it’s a never ending battle haha
Rather than using word difficult...you should start saying as challenging...such words from such an awesome creator doesn't sounds pretty...Really great efforts & creativity man...🔥🔥🔥
Great words of advice definitely will!
Would’ve loved to see more of them tub bts shots ;) 🔥🔥 video man
Those are only for you!
@@AustenPaul Thanks man ;) I knew it
YES SIR!! Another terrific Video ! All about passion and effort. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks man much appreciated!!
I just love how natural and informative your videos are ...Big up
Haha thanks just trying to be myself not putting on a show in any way!
@@AustenPaul I personally appreciate that 🤟👍
new fan! I saw your name on Daniel's channel. Dude, this video and final commercial was awesome. I really appreciate the simple to understand why you taught us. You make it look so easy but I value your honesty and encouragement. thanks. can't wait to watch and learn more.
Thank you for the support and happy to have you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow! Blown away! I'm inspired, Austen! I am a huge fan of your work!
Thank you so much!
And just a doubt. If you could weigh down the ship with something , would it simulate a real ships physics better ?
We weighed it down and slowed down the footage just a very hard hung to replicate haha
Looks great and you put a lot of effort into it. Only thing that stuck out to me was the shots of the ship. They looked like a toy. I think shooting in slow-motion and slowing it down would have helped most? And maybe a different lens focal length?
Hey thank you for the suggest it was actually slowed down and shot in multiple focal lengths it’s as slow as I could unfortunately. Limited to what you have but still attempting my best!
Hey man... you doing crazy your job and thank you so much for this cool video! ✌️
Of course!
Great work ! For the first time see the video some part was no clearly to understand what it was, like filming under water the undersides of the chip the camera most not standing in the center but left or right side also to see the top of the chip ! The next opinion is that the lidel “Big” wave was no need to shoot one because the small wave gives you how small the ship is and gives it the form of a toy !
Great work again ! Your uber driver.
Thank you for your feedback very true!
Burning the world down one amazing video at a time. Keep up the amazing creativity!!
My man thanks for the support!
Monstruous work
Thank you so much
This has given me a good starting point of what to try out next.thanks for not being mean.
Heck yeah go get it!!!
Dude. You push yourself so hard for making these videos. Keep up the good work 👍
Haha thanks for noticing it’s a lot of sleepless nights
awesome work :) I hope they use it and pay u for it, super cool, I did one for Mount Gay Rum, but they did not bother haha people loved it thou
Yeah they typically never reach out to me but other companies do so I’m all for it haha
That's a great hell of insanity which worked beautifully .. Well done
Hahah couldn’t have said it better myself. And thank you so much!
CHILLAX WITH THE DINGS
Hey Austen, great tutorial, you really went out this time! This whole video is very ins"pirat"ional ;) If I may just suggest something, it's that you add a little bit more sound design to the commercial, especially for the Kraken which would feel a lot more real and present, as well as the ship (maybe by adding more cracks, sounds of the bells, the ropes, a distant scream at the end). I feel this way the audience would be much more immersed (lol) in the story, and from the beginning! Just a humble though. Eitherway, keep on creating men, you're doing a great job!
Haha love the pun and thank you for the suggestion the song definitely made it hard to blend a lot of sound design in but yes a very good idea!
Damn dude, so much cool stuff. Thanks for making this!!
Garret M. Clarke thanks man it was jam packed haha
Ok I really like the look and I think it is good enough for what it's for.
But to sell the lightning effects I would not use the key light
I would try to bring the soft key down (moon motivated) and imitate the lightning with a harsh fresnel light maybe from an angle to create shadows and structure.
Also if you work with miniatures you have to slow down your footage way more to match the physics and sell the effect of an heavy object.
Nerdmode deactivated:
I like it :)
Very good ideas, we never used the key light for lighting always was our back light. Also trying the fresnel didn't work because it was to harsh revealing the pool unfortunately or would totally agree.
Yeah we slowed it down as much as possible even then it still looked fast if I shot it at 1080 I could have done 120 frames which would have been nice it was a toss up haha
Thanks man yeah we had to adjust because of our situation it defiently was an experimental phase for me learned a lot.
@@AustenPaul an easy way to slow down footage is davinci resolves optical flow options. these methods can be quite heavy on your computer but the results are mostly really good.
I’m here 😊 🙌🏻 and i’d also hit the red button and your bell button 😊
Thank you so much for the support!
This such great work! The creativity and work behind it is soooo good! Love everything of it! Keep going Austen! Defintely inspiring a lot of people here.
You are next level! Thanks for sharing the BTS!
Of course thanks for watching!!
Keep crushing bro you doing great ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much I will!!!
Still killin' it as always man. Your channel is going to blow up big soon.
I already feel like it’s a lot more then I ever expected haha
i loved the last shot
Your are unbelievable talented. Love your videos! Keep it up
thank you and will do!
Uber mega great content Austen! Keep the good work up!
Ah thank you so much for your support!
Nice job! I enjoyed watching you create some of the artistic shots!
Thank you David!!
Your videos are inspiring. What you are capable of accomplishing with one camera and minimal supplies is remarkable. I made my own video after seeing your work and Daniel Schiffer’s work. Hoping to get to your level someday. Would love to know what you think of the most recent product video I made if you get an opportunity to check it out. Either way I will continue to learn from the content you produce!
That was awesome. Did you show the ad to The Kraken brand?
I sent it to their insta they never replied haha
I really like your ideas, creativity and mind.....you're just hard to wqtch.....I recommend editing all your "comedy" out....you very smart, but funny, you are not.
That's just incredible 😳 u did a wonderful job maaan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💆💆💞💞💞
Congrats, what a work !!! Came out super well !!! Easy to say, but I probably would have used 120fps for the boat (instead of 60...)
Yeah I didn’t have the option with 4k but definitely would have
Just for my own culture, why not make the choice to shoot 4k and to edit 1080p to mix 4k and 1080p in 120fps footages as everything is exported in 1080p ? No lost of quality... (except for 120fps)...
Great stuff Austen, love your videos. Just wondered if you have any less expensive recommendations for lighting. I know you use the Aputure stuff, but it's so damn pricey!
Thanks
Patrick Sanderson the godox lights are great and much cheaper!!
@@AustenPaul Thanks for the reply, will check them out.
This turned out so well. Really different. The amount of dedication 👏👏
Thanks man just kept working away at it!
Probably the best thing would have been to shoot the ship dry against green, rocking it gently around and then compositing that in AE with Red Giant Psunami creating a CGI raging sea.
Great. Can you also show us your workout program ?💪
Haha if youre lucky! Its just lifting heavy cameras haha
Hi Paul, good night, I hope you are very well. excellent video and very professional👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. A pleasure to see it, I congratulate you. greetings from Argentina. 👍🏻
You're a beast with product videos.
Thanks man!!
Another fire video as usual, nice work Austen 🔥
Thank you so much
incredible work once again Austen
James Collins thank you so much
Hi Austen, thanks so much for the tutorials they are excellent. I just have one question, it's about the part with the spinning coin, could you please tell me how did you mask out the rod and pin attached to the coin. Thanks Ed.
No problem! I used simple wire removal in after effects to get rid of the the needle.
Cheers Austen.
cool man.. whats that filter on 100 macro?
Polarizer helps remove glare and lights on the bottle
Amazing work but in my opinion you could make the ship shots in slow mo without adding rain in real time. Making it 2-3x time slower and adding normal 100% speed rain overlay in post would make the ship look way bigger than it actualy was :D PROBABLY, im totally not an expert
Great stuff!! Why did you use the polarizer for the rainy shit of the bottle?
It helps reduce the reflection and highlights
Austen Paul thank you 🙏
For all this effort, was it just a passion project or really done for a client ? And if the latter is true, what ballpark approximate would you charge a client for a shoot like this ?
This was just a passion project!
@@AustenPaul > This much work for a passion project ! Yikes !. But hypothetically if you did this for a client, what would you quote ? Just ball park shooting the breeze.
This was very cool! Great job!
Thank you so much
THIS. IS. ART. 👏👏👏
The amount of creativity and effort packed into this is ridiculous. Makes me think of the way filmmakers used to make movies with miniatures and low budgets but they always pulled it off. You definitely pulled it off and without any green screen or GFX. Love all the practical work.
Thank you Chadwith I try to keep all my videos as practical as possible its a fun unique challenge and yes star wars is a huge inspiration.
Awesome! Thank for sharing
No problem!!
You deserve a million subs more than anybody
Thanks man but truly just happy if people are enjoying it!
Yo the bottle pour from inside WAS AMAZING WOW WOW 👏😮👏
absolutely amazing work and tutorial, thanks so much for your videos and inside.. :)
A true glimpse of the creative process! It's amazing what can happen when you show up and make stuff. Good shit!
A lot of showing up haha a lot of work but totally worth it!
@@AustenPaul totally! I just wrapped my daily grind here. Let me know your thoughts if you get a chance! th-cam.com/video/LyAH5FG5IoQ/w-d-xo.html
Keep creative keep being unique 🔥👏🏾
Will do thanks for the support!
So. Sick! From the chili peppers to the pant slider 2.0, and that ending shot!! Def the most creative and inspiring channel so much appreciation for your effort
Sir you nailed it 😍😍💯💯💯🔥🔥
Thanks man it was a lot of work but well worth it!
Unreal. UNREAL! So cool man. You deserve way more than 80k followers. Hope you keep growing!
This make me happy. Thank you very much
Aww I’m so glad! Thank YOU!
Nice! Very talented . Im glad your channel has been growing so rapidly! Videos like this are what makes youtube so awesome!
Thank you and thank you for the support try my best to stay innovative
THANK YOU A LOT MAN YOU'RE REALLY HELPFUL
Of course thanks for watching!
Insane product video 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 great work 👏🏻
That dry ice shot was epic!!!!!!
We discovered that by accident some of our best shots were because of that!
The ship shots could be more SLO mo. The ship shot from underwater looks fake because the ship doesn’t seem to be moving. Still, good tutorial.
Awesome, superb, fantastic... And all the words of this type is i am thinking about you..
Great man 👍
Awesome video, but your definition of parallax is not correct. Nothing has to stay centered and your BG and FG 100% does not need to be moving in opposite directions of one another, here you probably mean that the camera's movement will appear to be moving in the opposite as the objects position on the screen, because I mean for example, if you are tracking a long shot in a forest the trees in the FG will be moving in the same direction as the trees in the BG on screen but this is still parallax because of the difference in translation on screen due to distance they are from the camera. Parallax is merely having movement between more than one object/plane at different distances from each other in order to simulate depth by the different speeds at which they appear to be moving on screen.
Always backlight the rain drops guys, great content.
I really like your artistic sense of creativity well done Austen you are my source of inspiration in commercials production Video Big thanks my man
I like your videos, but this one looked too childish with the toys, especially for a grown up drink. That is unless you were going for a fun and non-realistic video ad
Oh my god. That video is insane paul. Outta this world. Congratts broh
Great stuff. I’m canceling Disney + right now.
What an amazing video you made, love all of it. And thanks for all the tips. I'm going to build my one Teeter slides
You're an absolute legend!
Haha idk about that but thanks man!!
THIS IS DAMN GENIUS 😳😳😳
Thank you so much!
Amazing.
One of the best BTS I’ve seen , very well explained and detailed ! 🙌🙌
Wow thanks man much appreciated!!
Arrrrrgh. So you took me gold doubloons.
Haha 😂
Your work is awesome but I would slow down a bit all of those clips where you can see the ship. It would make the ship feel more realistic because you would be able to "spot" the weight of it. ;)
Every shot was insane
So much effort
I learned a lot from your video
Keep inspiring...
Dude your are not from this world !!
Haha don’t blow my cover
I just loved the way your ideas worked so defined so appropriate ... Well done. Lot of hard work
That through the bottle pour shot 😱
It took some tries! Thanks!
Bruh. This channel is fire 🔥
Heck yeah thank you!
Wow bro what about AF did you shoot with manuel or auto ?
Zakaria Abed both it just depended on the shot. the coin flip was in auto haha
@@AustenPaul
Yeh i noticed that.
Great thanks dude!
