BEEE ROLL!!! Use this thread to show me your B Roll Challenge Vids!! I hope you guys have fun with this - I find it quite fun, especially the more ridiculous the spot :)
Agree! Came here to say that PM's videos have always been amazing, but this is a new level. To actually hear the thought process behind it all is extremely helpful!
This is VERY HELPFUL. I genuinely needed this to increase my B-Roll practice action. I appreciate that he goes out of his way to do these things for people and to do so in an articulate and genuine manner. Special thanks to this creator and his efforts to help us fellow creators out.
Please do more like this! I love seeing how you scouted the area and talked about angles and frames before shooting. THEN you showed the results. LOVED IT. It helps me see where I need to think outside of the box. AND I like how you followed it up with the B-roll Challenge videos. It makes me want to participate.
This is eyeopener. I would like to watch this video again and again. I just love the pacing. So much of info packed in this single video. Thanks a ton!
*“Find somewhere slightly uninteresting and make a 30 second b-roll sequence in that spot”* This was exactly what brought me to buy my own camera and see what I could do. I was fascinated by how these different cinematographers can make the most normal places look dope 👍
0:52 I used to wonder how creators like yourself would always go over self-dictated time requirements. It seemed like such a simple thing to stick to. Then I started making my own videos and was like *oh* lmao. Don't worry about "fast" too much with us Pete, I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say I'd watch literally *hours* of anything you put on this channel 🗣️. Great video as always 👌
I enjoy all your content and tutorials but this from a tutorial aspect is cream of the crop. Breaking it down to such a simplistic explanation was key. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with shooting options I lose focus on the story or shots. This video will be something I watch over and over before I go shoot to remind me of the basics! More tutorials like this please!
I think the best part of this challenge has been watching those who have made a b roll video. There are so many interpretations and levels of skill. I've watched videos from so many different channels in different countries. I've subscribed to new channels and am learning and interacting with new people. It's been a very fun ride! I would love to do more of these challenges!
The transitions and sound effects are what makes the B-Roll so good. I would love to see you do the same kind of video but on a fasted paced over the top hip hop montage.
Peter, I’ve watched your creativity for a long while now and I have to say this is the best “how to” you’ve done. Very detailed and practical. I am sooooo inspired. I actually think I can do B now.Thank you!
Peter, I always LOVE your b-roll clips! Thank you for walking us through your thought (and visual) process to help us understand how you create your footage. Please do more videos like this!
He said some people like to shoot wide, and some people like to shoot tight so he showed what those lens' looked like. Pete himself *normally* shoots tight with a 85mm from what I recall. He's just showing two different types of people and perspectives. The main part of this story was to basically challenge yourself with the gear you've got, if you don't have an 85 mm but you have a 18 or 35 mm, use that and vice versa, Have a good one :D
I'm sure you get this a lot but your channel is my favorite resource for all things photography. I recently started building a small real estate photography business and let me just say your videos have taught me more info in the past few months than any photography class could have. Keep up the good work and thank you!
...and Imagine how funny it would look with the animated hands talking to the window. If I were inside, I'd be looking behind me to see who TF he was talking to. lol
the same principle applies: wide-tight and if you only have a 50mm prime get close for some bokeh blurry backround and then step back to shoot the panorama. I'm shure they Will get some pretty good footage with practice
I LOVE hearing your thought process throughout the this filming process. Hearing your reasoning behind each shot was extremely helpful. I would love to see a follow-up to this video on how you went about stitching these clips together in a similar style where you give "live" commentary as to the reasons behind your decisions while editing them together e.g. when to punch in, speed ramp, use the camera transitions, and also how you keep it from being "too busy" and in the sweet spot where there is still a lot going on, but it is not overwhelming or cheesy. Really great job with this one and great edit! Huge fan here in Boston!
I do real estate Photography and Video tours and I want to say, you have sped my post-production up by at least 150%. I know unrelated video but I just had to stop and say thank you, Peter. You rock!
TechRadicalTv quite the contrary, most tight jeans are elastic. They are like tights especially if you wear them lifted from knee high. Just my insight and experience. As he pointed out. That smooth, delicious b-roll made shoot in a rather Mondaine place. It's all about perspective.
You’re firing on all cylinders! Love your stuff and all the value you throw at your audience. It’s such a pleasure to follow your work and your passion for video/photography is contagious.
hey i was wondering if it’s possible to shoot a b roll on a smart phone camera.?? to be honest i know 0.0009% about photography and cinematography . so dont mind my stupid question
Loved it Katie! Would you mind checking my challenge as well :P :P th-cam.com/video/GiIy0zvBbjA/w-d-xo.html&lc=z22we1nocmr2yby3zacdp432wymuvinmxw0giinuxe5w03c010c
Hey Peter... Another awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing so much of all you've learnt. Something that I would find so helpful is a tutorial of how you actually put this video together in post. To see the end result is amazing!,...but to understand and see how you construct it would also be an awesome learning. Cheers Peter..thanks again for all you so generously give. Simon.
Incredible video Peter. It's nice to see creators share there actual thought process. The portion where you talked about what you saw b4 you shot was the beauty of this video. Good stuff bud.
Once you get over 2 million subscribers random sound effects just start happening in your actual day to day life and his mic happens to pick them up. Strange but true.
There is a free audio section of youtube as well though limited but still good collection:) In bw, would you mind checking my video and would really appreciate ur feedback too :D:D th-cam.com/video/GiIy0zvBbjA/w-d-xo.html
Please do more of those B-Roll Challenges at different spots! Its so interesting to see, what the area looks before and after you b-rolled it! Loved it and learned alot from this video! thanks :)
I found this particular video very inspiring. Shot some b-roll around my house and out of windows during a rainstorm. Not groundbreaking, but fun! Thanks PMcK!
B-roll is the extra footage captured to enrich the story you're telling and to have greater flexibility when editing. Instead of featuring only talking heads on video, you want to have other images you can cut away to that will add dimension to your story.
very cool challenge, reminds me of the "bad vendor" challenge in photography that people did. You would go to walmart or home depot or wherever that you would normally not go for a nice portrait shoot and try to make it as epic as possible.
Hi Peter, Can you please do a playlist on B-ROLLS just like the one you did here. Explaining the planning and execution process!! Would be really helpful!!
Love Your b-roll But i don't have a DSLR but no problem I have a SLR 😹 (I was Just joking i don't have any equipment just my smartphone)Love you Peter,Smashed that like button, Shared on Facebook and added To my Instagram!!!!!
Nasib Khatri Do you have a smartphone? It’s about not the equipment, it’s all about your creativity. Give it a go, zoom in and zoom out to get tight/wide shots... good to go!!
I really like at 8:03 when you have the bus passing in slow mo and the angle on the bus almost perfectly matches the angle of the sloping sidewalk. Great shot my friend.
Peter, love the style of this video! Thanks for taking us outside to show us your process for getting the shots you do. I (and maybe others) would like to see more videos like this!! Inspires me to go out and shoot. Thanks again keep up the awesome work!
Peter, just want to thank you. I missed this challenge but this is exactly what I needed. I’m going to challenge myself to do this and your advice was fantastic. Thank you for doing this! Cheers!
BEEE ROLL!!! Use this thread to show me your B Roll Challenge Vids!! I hope you guys have fun with this - I find it quite fun, especially the more ridiculous the spot :)
Peter McKinnon sup peter. Are you already drinking coffe today?

Can you do a broll only using 60 fps
I love this. Teaches people to see the world as a playground. No such thing as boring places.

2 years later and I am still watching and learning more about Broll
Not me.
Lol for sure!!! He’s the best! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽👊🏽
Seriously one of the best practical tutorials you’ve done. Loved it! Keep up the great work PM.
Agree! Came here to say that PM's videos have always been amazing, but this is a new level. To actually hear the thought process behind it all is extremely helpful!
agree, I was super pumped up about this one, I would definetly watch more of it, or whatever PM does, I Will be into it.
My video is so funny 😂 first time with premiere pro ghaha
Challenge Accepted! Love that Peter is able to get people to actually get out and film, instead of just watching we are participating.
B roll? That’s nothing compared to this , pure A ROLL 🔥🔥
You're so freaking talent Peter!
It's Talented ..lol😂
Firefox Gaming lol
Hi
Watching this takes me back... I miss this era of PM!!! So many bad ass tips!
do a video on how to edit b roll! thats so important!
This is VERY HELPFUL. I genuinely needed this to increase my B-Roll practice action. I appreciate that he goes out of his way to do these things for people and to do so in an articulate and genuine manner. Special thanks to this creator and his efforts to help us fellow creators out.

This was exactly what brought me to buy my own camera and see what I could do. I was fascinated by how these different cinematographers can make the most normal places look dope 👍
simplicity gets overlooked i guess, but i agree this was the same reason why I bought my own dslr as well.
Song 0:01-0:15 ?
What camera did you go with?
It's transitions that makes all the magic happen
0:52 I used to wonder how creators like yourself would always go over self-dictated time requirements. It seemed like such a simple thing to stick to.

This video is Gold. There are things I can take from this and apply to my still photography as well.
You're on FIRE recently homie! Classic Pete!
Jamie Corbett Pete is always on fire! He is the man! A legend! A boss of bosses!
I’m mainly a photographer, but I literally love trying challenges like this!
The transitions and sound effects are what makes the B-Roll so good. I would love to see you do the same kind of video but on a fasted paced over the top hip hop montage.
Great video! It's so to see how someone like Peter is actually thinking of and creating his shots!
"If you have a friend that normally helps shoot for you, GET RID OF THEM!" lol
Good thing I dont have that problem! lol 😔
No new friends. Actually... no old friends either... lol
Friends? What's that?
I had to scroll down to see this hahaha
haha somehwere theres a friend crying because of this segment
This was epic. Like, holy shit. #pmbrollchallenge is going to be on my list of things to do this weekend
I'm already going outside with my camera
Joel Alzugaray TAKE ME WITH YOUUUUUUU
Now to practice it, going to Catalina Island to make it happen. Motivated.
Blinkit Photography NICE!!!
Thats a little unfair! He said choose somewhere dull. Catalina is beautiful!! lol
Peter, I’ve watched your creativity for a long while now and I have to say this is the best “how to” you’ve done. Very detailed and practical. I am sooooo inspired. I actually think I can do B now.Thank you!
Wow thank you for that feedback! It’s appreciated and helpful! Cheers!
Peter, I always LOVE your b-roll clips! Thank you for walking us through your thought (and visual) process to help us understand how you create your footage. Please do more videos like this!
“Challenge yourself to one camera, one lens...” 01:22
“I’m going to use a 35mm and an 85mm...” 03:05
🤔
To be before he showed reels with only 35, and only 85.
He said some people like to shoot wide, and some people like to shoot tight so he showed what those lens' looked like. Pete himself *normally* shoots tight with a 85mm from what I recall.
He's just showing two different types of people and perspectives.
The main part of this story was to basically challenge yourself with the gear you've got, if you don't have an 85 mm but you have a 18 or 35 mm, use that and vice versa,
Have a good one :D

Oooh, Peter McKinnon, the B-Roll Star strikes again! What a beautiful analysis of this intersection! I feel so inspired right now! :)
So true that it always boils back down to the eye and mind of the filmmaker, not the gear - great job!
Man oh man! This CERTAINLY INSPIRED me to get that rig bag swinging in the wind and open it up and USE it. Bravo Pete. Thanks man!
Now it's time for "THE B ROLL EDITING" :)
Please, do it
Yeah!
"Instead of just a hard cut transition, Makes a hard cut transition" 10:00
lol yeah
Like smashed!! Thank you for the BeeRoll tips!
Loved how you explained your thought process throughout the shoot! Would love to see more of these, Pete!
I'm sure you get this a lot but your channel is my favorite resource for all things photography. I recently started building a small real estate photography business and let me just say your videos have taught me more info in the past few months than any photography class could have. Keep up the good work and thank you!
3:52 *Imagine sitting there, eating your sandwich or whatever you ordered and suddenly Peter McKinnon pops up right next to your window!*
...and Imagine how funny it would look with the animated hands talking to the window. If I were inside, I'd be looking behind me to see who TF he was talking to. lol
Simply a magical B-ROLL monster you are!
most peole dont have multiple lenses to use. they probably just have a kit lens. we need a video on making the best of your kit lens 18-55 lens.
Shoot at 18, and shoot at 55.
This is why i love Peter McKinnon
If your camera shoots in 4K, punch in on the footage to get a good crop and your 55 becomes a 110 at least. One lens - two different perspectives.
the same principle applies: wide-tight and if you only have a 50mm prime get close for some bokeh blurry backround and then step back to shoot the panorama. I'm shure they Will get some pretty good footage with practice
Exactly what I thought my answer would be to that question. Simple as that :-)
I LOVE hearing your thought process throughout the this filming process. Hearing your reasoning behind each shot was extremely helpful. I would love to see a follow-up to this video on how you went about stitching these clips together in a similar style where you give "live" commentary as to the reasons behind your decisions while editing them together e.g. when to punch in, speed ramp, use the camera transitions, and also how you keep it from being "too busy" and in the sweet spot where there is still a lot going on, but it is not overwhelming or cheesy. Really great job with this one and great edit! Huge fan here in Boston!
Brilliant. As always, blown away by how you do this Peter.

I do real estate Photography and Video tours and I want to say, you have sped my post-production up by at least 150%. I know unrelated video but I just had to stop and say thank you, Peter. You rock!
Bro this is the best vid.
Best tips,
p.s I hope I get good at broll tho.
If you ever get a Son you need to name him Peter McBroll.
i support this
But B-Roll with those tight jeans seems like impossible
TechRadicalTv quite the contrary, most tight jeans are elastic. They are like tights especially if you wear them lifted from knee high.
Just my insight and experience. As he pointed out. That smooth, delicious b-roll made shoot in a rather Mondaine place. It's all about perspective.
You’re firing on all cylinders! Love your stuff and all the value you throw at your audience. It’s such a pleasure to follow your work and your passion for video/photography is contagious.
YESS Old school Peters back, before all the fame and fancy footwear 👟 Love these tutorial style vids.
Sick idea! Definitely going to do this in a future vlog 😁
Ellie Does Life it really does make all of the difference!

Peter, you are the best. Thanx for all the resources!
Incredible video Peter. It's nice to see creators share there actual thought process. The portion where you talked about what you saw b4 you shot was the beauty of this video.
Good stuff bud.
"--instead of a hard cut--"
*cuts*
I was like and there's a hard cut... how clever lol
Never clicked on something so fast
#pmbrollchallenge in case anyone missed that out for tagging ur videos.
Heyy Pete, thanks for the tutorial. Loved the BRoll.
THE SOUND EFFECTS MAKE IT SO DOPE
Great tutorial from the B Roll king. What I loved best is how you walked us through your thinking process for creating the b roll = massively useful!
Did you just create the same thumbnail as Matti?
xD I noticed that too!
Can you make a video explaining how to upload high quality videos on Instagram?
Taylor Cut Films made a video about that and it is really good. Check it out
I noticed how you use sound effects in addition to your b-roll! Where do you get them??
Sicsen epidemic sound has thousands of sound effects and I believe Peter has a sound pack he created that's for sale
Once you get over 2 million subscribers random sound effects just start happening in your actual day to day life and his mic happens to pick them up. Strange but true.
triplescoopmusic.com/ here man try this website free licensed audio file in almost every genre.
There is a free audio section of youtube as well though limited but still good collection:) In bw, would you mind checking my video and would really appreciate ur feedback too :D:D

Loool!
I've watched you grow from a hundred thousand to two million and all i can say is that you're an inspiration. Rock on dude!
Peters Channel is the ONLY Channel that I Stop watching on mobile and go to my computer so I can get the full effect of his awesomeness!!

th-cam.com/video/GiIy0zvBbjA/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/T0N6sMeFJ7A/w-d-xo.html here is my b roll
Someone please explain what b-roll is!
B-roll is the extra footage captured to enrich the story you're telling and to have greater flexibility when editing. Instead of featuring only talking heads on video, you want to have other images you can cut away to that will add dimension to your story.
its like a cinnamon roll. but with bees. tasty AND healthy
Debtfreehomesteaders thank you!
very cool challenge, reminds me of the "bad vendor" challenge in photography that people did. You would go to walmart or home depot or wherever that you would normally not go for a nice portrait shoot and try to make it as epic as possible.
Hi Peter, Can you please do a playlist on B-ROLLS just like the one you did here. Explaining the planning and execution process!! Would be really helpful!!
I'M IN!!!!!! H** YEAH!... Are you planning to shout out the best "B-roll Challenge Videos" on your channel? :)
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!! DO IT PLS!!!!!
MMMmm This makes the challenge more Interesting
YUP!
Love Your b-roll But i don't have a DSLR but no problem I have a SLR 😹
(I was Just joking i don't have any equipment just my smartphone)Love you Peter,Smashed that like button, Shared on Facebook and added To my Instagram!!!!!
Nasib Khatri Do you have a smartphone? It’s about not the equipment, it’s all about your creativity. Give it a go, zoom in and zoom out to get tight/wide shots... good to go!!
Clare McCahill Hey I was just joking I don't have any equipment just my Smartphone( Just kidding)
Nasib Khatri Lol you had me at SLR... I’m old school 😂
Clare McCahill do you have a fb account and if you have also would you like add me?
Yeah, sure! You’ll find me on FB, blue profile pic, camera in hand. I’ll add you back 😊
I really like at 8:03 when you have the bus passing in slow mo and the angle on the bus almost perfectly matches the angle of the sloping sidewalk. Great shot my friend.
SOOOO cool, now I get the tricks to get that crazy transitions. Always keep learning!
Peter, love the style of this video! Thanks for taking us outside to show us your process for getting the shots you do. I (and maybe others) would like to see more videos like this!! Inspires me to go out and shoot. Thanks again keep up the awesome work!
Great tutorial Peter. More of this is much appreciated! Keep it up.
King of B-Roll! You teach so well Peter 👍🏽👍🏽
Yesss more B-Rolls! We love it, we started to use it on our videos!
So interesting to see your B-Roll workflow!
Peter, just want to thank you. I missed this challenge but this is exactly what I needed. I’m going to challenge myself to do this and your advice was fantastic. Thank you for doing this! Cheers!
