I use the dolly forward and backwards with the subject centered & balanced on a wide lens all the time! It's my love for Wes Anderson that drives that one!
Keep it up man, I like the direction you are going. You and Peter should have a cinematic shot off! See who can make a more cinematic shot of a few plain old scenes. Similar to what he did with the product photography. P.S. If you ever want the opportunity to shoot a woodworking build project and give us makers a lesson on how to shoot it. Let me know I would love to pick your brain and collaborate.
Sometime is it hard to get smooth recordings. Like when you just have to turn the gimble a litle. Then it turns fast and stop. So you dont get that smooth movement. Testing to just use the joystick now. Anyone doing like that?
Just Maintain a constant distance from the subject and change focus before every shot. And also Plan your shots with Manual Focus in Mind. Maybe Narrow that aperture a little too?
Nice. I've got some even more exciting cinematic gimbal moves coming in my next video which will be a full behind the scenes on my "Dance with the Decadent Dolls" Fine Art Fashion Portrait video.
Thanks so much! I'm literally going to rewatch this to take notes... My Husband gets so mad at me because the angles I shoot suck so bad! We never use my shots 🤣. Thanks for the tips.
Low key this made me tear up! Keep at it Peter, you are doing amazing things by inspiring others and continuing to create incredible things. All while staying humble.
I just want to say thank you Matti. You gimbal tutorial has really helped me. I had a few commercial shoots this month and your tips really helped me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight. You've been a big help in my filmmaking journey.
I think the most important question is the fps you were shooting. Did you shoot at 24fps or 30fps? 60fps? I tried shooting at 24fps but it was too shaky but I was aiming for that cinematic looks but the gimbal was still a bit shaky.
I just have one question Matti. Did you hang onto the truck door till he stopped, or did you set the gimbal down on the seat then open the the truck door to get in? Don't see how you did it in one take unless you edited part of the sequence out... just saying it is bugging me and I got to know.. Thanks for the video... I just got the FeiyuTech AK2000s and am excited to go try it out.,..🤔
Great video! Really helps you contextualize the shots and put together a quick shotlist so when you roll into a project you can quickly conceive and execute coverage. Thanks @Matti Haapoja!
I'm confused why there is cuts in certain parts of your video. Like at 55 seconds in when you're saying "Maybe it will finally be the contender to" why did you need a cut there?
Love this type of effective hands on tutorials and you nailed it again Matti! I love when good moves are combined with each other or why not zooming or speed ramping. Keep ’em coming Matti! 👍
Ya man... I got the long arm and it helps. You need to play with the motor for the shots. When you flip the camera it almost feels like it's taking a load of the one motor and all on to the other. So depending on the weight of the camera you need to adjust for certain shots
WE have been trying the gimbal ' dolly in and dolly out' and slide ways shots too often and love them in the videos. We don't often use the rotate shots too often. We love Matti and Peter
whow matti ...super informatif ...and inspirational ...give me lots if ideas todo with my osmo+ .... now the dji app works at last 😍 thx bro 😀😉🤠...you are my european mckinon 🤣🤣😉
Now how should I prioritize to make better quality/more interesting vlogs? Better computer (around 2k) vs. drone (around 1k) vs. gimbal/stabilizer ( 400 to 800)... ?
Man I just subscribed. Great video tutorial. Just got into Filmmaking and photography a year ago and im learning on the go. it helps a lot to have great tips from people like you. My set up is a ZY Smooth 4, A DJI Osmo Mobile 2, iPhone 8 Plus, Sony A5000 and a Mavic air. What you think?
Hi Matti! I am considering to go for a Canon 6d mark 2, but I have big question mark since it cannot record video in LOG files. How do you color process your footage? Directly from mp4 files? Thanks!
Any cheap options for those of us on a budget ? £700 is a lot to shell out after buying a camera, and microphone, and batteries and SDCard, and everything else :( Anything in the £100 to £200 region ?
Thank you! Two questions if you don't mind: 1) Are all these shots done in Pan Follow mode? and 2) For that last oner with the truck, were you standing on a sideboard outside the truck?? Thanks again!
Great video Matti! excellent teacher. I noticed at around 7:00 you phased in the intensity of your LUT (Which i bought last week and Love!) what was the reason? (easter egg?) Thanks and keep it up!
BTS of you hanging off the truck to get that final shot would have made this a perfect video Matti! Peter drove pretty fast there hey?... haha... hang on mate! Really nice work.
Really enjoyed this video Matti. Good information and easy to understand and digest. Just bought a DJI Osmo Mobile 3 and will be practicing the moves you talk about in preparation with an upcoming trip to Europe..............thanks
Hmm, so how to you get that transition from McKinnon exits the truck, you open your door and get out with the gimbal without getting the door frame (or closing of the door) in your shot?
I’m still trying to figure out when you got into the truck 😂. Or did you just follow him outside of it? Either way, love the video! I just got the crane in the mail last week!
It seemed like either the camera was too heavy, or you didnt balance it right because of all the stutters, I think the zhiyun crane plus would def be able to handle your cameras
Hi! I,m new into foto & video, I've got a 35mm Sigma Art 1.4 and 90mm Sony Macro lens at the moment. What lenses do you use most for video? - What wide should I go for? You talk about widelens, what mm should I go for? I looked at SAMYANG AF 24MM 2,8 SONY E - or should I go for Samyang AF 14mm f/2,8 till Sony FE or maybe they aren't for video?
Which Gimbal move was your favourite?????
Matti Haapoja dji ronin
I use the dolly forward and backwards with the subject centered & balanced on a wide lens all the time! It's my love for Wes Anderson that drives that one!
that one take was awesome. Hey any thoughts on the new DJI Ronin S? I heard it might be under $1k?
Leading and dolly, aslo Peter is a good model.
The waist up follow behind almost always looks amazing.
I really hope you bought Peter a coffee after making him walk across that bridge a hundred times!
Loll
Wearing blue makes the in house color that much better!
Sometimes you look like Peter mackinon
that was peter mckinnon in the video
@@obliviontunes9930 lol exactly.
@@MS-gn4gl hehe !
Oblivion Tunes lol !
Agree😅
Ok Matti this was a film school semester worth in a video! Thank you.
Damn i gotta find me someone to shoot with 😭😭 can never get shots of myself whenever i go out or have someone to practice things with
Yea it’s tough to find people. That’s why Peter and I like working together
Damn, I have people, but I dont have a proper camera or gimbal :D Using a d5200 30fps and a fake cheaper glidecam is hard :D
Shaq Hossain
Me too...
Where do you live? 😅😉
Shaq Hossain
btw DJI Drones are really good for filming yourself in a cinematic way
Where you at?
Love your channel, but it is turning into "the guy who shoots Peter McKinnon's channel" :)
Haha he’s just a great model
Keep it up man, I like the direction you are going. You and Peter should have a cinematic shot off! See who can make a more cinematic shot of a few plain old scenes. Similar to what he did with the product photography. P.S. If you ever want the opportunity to shoot a woodworking build project and give us makers a lesson on how to shoot it. Let me know I would love to pick your brain and collaborate.
I know the feel, I always use the same 2 friends as models because they're good at it!
because they are good mate :) they help each other ...i am not tired of seeing them into each others video
His and his matching knee holes! ha..... just kidding! Great channel and many thanks!
4:11 Peter is looking the exact same direction 🤣🤣 who’s guiding him?
Awesome tips!! Going to Bali next month and definitely want some smooth footage. Love the shot ideas as well!
did matti hang on the door of the car to get that shot without having to open and close? haha
nick Verneck I reckon he did, that’s my guess 😊
yeah I keep guessing that's what he did haha
So helpful! Just got a Ronin S in the mail. Looking forward to putting these moves to work!
very helpful... like the last shot following to the car.. combination of all
Thanks Matti. I’m quite new to using the crane and I get mixed up with the modes button. Which mode do you use for each if these shots?
How did you get in the car with him and the door was closed?
Sometime is it hard to get smooth recordings. Like when you just have to turn the gimble a litle. Then it turns fast and stop. So you dont get that smooth movement. Testing to just use the joystick now. Anyone doing like that?
Is that a reupload ? I already see this on your channel
4:13 But who is guiding the person that guides you backward ?
Hi Matti, excellent video as always, just wondering all your shots are 60p or 120p? sorry for stupid questions
Excellent video Matti. Can you make a video "How to make DIY video transitions with a Gimbal or Steadycam" ?
duuuude that onetake-followshot-thing-shot..you know what I mean..look doooope :0 I'm quite a fan actually of shots like those :P
Great tutorial as always! Thanks for explaining the meaning/psychology behind each move. I’m VERY interested to see if the Glidecam is ever retired...
UGGGGH.....can you make a video on how to afford gimbals at age 13 :(
Hey are you of 13 wow I thought I'm the only 13 year old photographer and filmmaker
I’m using the DJI osmo 2, cheap in comparison but very good quality
Awesome video man! I’m interested to know how you made this slow motion look so smooth since it was shot on a 6d mkii at 60fps (I’m guessing)?
Do you ever use manual focus with a gimbal or steadicam or do you always use autofocus?? And if you do, how do use the manual focus?
I like AF on canon but back in the wedding days and such id go full manual all day
Thanks man! Great vid again!
Just Maintain a constant distance from the subject and change focus before every shot. And also Plan your shots with Manual Focus in Mind.
Maybe Narrow that aperture a little too?
This! Auto Focus is great but it isn't perfect. The advice in the comment above is perfect. Follow those tips for better shot selection overall.
see Zaber Ansary's comment, this is exactly what you do.
Nice. I've got some even more exciting cinematic gimbal moves coming in my next video which will be a full behind the scenes on my "Dance with the Decadent Dolls" Fine Art Fashion Portrait video.
I wonder how many times did you walk back and forth 😁
Matti, your videos are by far the most helpful tutorials I’ve ever found 🙌🏼 THANK YOU!
NOW THATS CALLED A "PRACTICAL TUTORIAL" :)
Thanks so much! I'm literally going to rewatch this to take notes... My Husband gets so mad at me because the angles I shoot suck so bad! We never use my shots 🤣. Thanks for the tips.
Why are all the shots in slow motion?Couldn't you just show the original footage?
You made my day 😀
Yay! 😊 that makes me feel good. It’s a feel good loop
Hey will you review the DJI gimbal when it comes out?
Low key this made me tear up! Keep at it Peter, you are doing amazing things by inspiring others and continuing to create incredible things. All while staying humble.
thanks mate
I just want to say thank you Matti. You gimbal tutorial has really helped me. I had a few commercial shoots this month and your tips really helped me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight. You've been a big help in my filmmaking journey.
I think the most important question is the fps you were shooting. Did you shoot at 24fps or 30fps? 60fps? I tried shooting at 24fps but it was too shaky but I was aiming for that cinematic looks but the gimbal was still a bit shaky.
What setting u shot for man walking on the bridge? Shot 4k 60fps then slow at post production OR shot 4k 120fps?
I just have one question Matti. Did you hang onto the truck door till he stopped, or did you set the gimbal down on the seat then open the the truck door to get in? Don't see how you did it in one take unless you edited part of the sequence out... just saying it is bugging me and I got to know.. Thanks for the video... I just got the FeiyuTech AK2000s and am excited to go try it out.,..🤔
That's sick. I have the Zhyun Crane 2 and I'll be following your advises man.. can't wait to try it out..
Great video! Really helps you contextualize the shots and put together a quick shotlist so when you roll into a project you can quickly conceive and execute coverage. Thanks @Matti Haapoja!
Which is your favourite lens for the gimbal? If you only could bring ONE. Which would you choose?
I see what's going on Matti... You're starting to fall for gimbals. No no no.... You can't cheat on your steady cams like that dude.
Hahaha 😂
Matti Haapoja ahahha yess u replied, made my day
I'm confused why there is cuts in certain parts of your video. Like at 55 seconds in when you're saying "Maybe it will finally be the contender to" why did you need a cut there?
Love this type of effective hands on tutorials and you nailed it again Matti!
I love when good moves are combined with each other or why not zooming or speed ramping. Keep ’em coming Matti! 👍
Thanks for the tips Matti. I might use these cinematic moves in my future videos.
Go for it!
Lol you guys have matching black jeans and ripped knees. Haha!
who oneelse wanna the old glidecam fromMatti? Giveaway? I buy it if dont!
Thank you!!! It’s super useful tips 👍🏻👍🏻😊
Hi Matti, do you know if the invert shots would work with the BMPCC 4k or not? (with Z-Crane2)
Hello sir your works is really great!
What focus will you use manual or auto all the time in camera?
Ya man... I got the long arm and it helps. You need to play with the motor for the shots. When you flip the camera it almost feels like it's taking a load of the one motor and all on to the other. So depending on the weight of the camera you need to adjust for certain shots
WE have been trying the gimbal ' dolly in and dolly out' and slide ways shots too often and love them in the videos. We don't often use the rotate shots too often. We love Matti and Peter
Hey man! Great tips and nice boots! Greetings from Brazil!
now if anyone would like to donate a gimbal it would be much appreciated. great video Matti!
Cool 😎. Great job . Thank you 🙏 The is very helpful for me
was the video speed of the slomo shots reduced by 50%?
Hey really you are teaching sooo nicely sir am always watching your vedios👌👌👍
whow matti ...super informatif ...and inspirational ...give me lots if ideas todo with my osmo+ ....
now the dji app works at last 😍
thx bro 😀😉🤠...you are my european mckinon 🤣🤣😉
Now how should I prioritize to make better quality/more interesting vlogs? Better computer (around 2k) vs. drone (around 1k) vs. gimbal/stabilizer ( 400 to 800)... ?
Canon 6DII footage are so ugly, no details, no sharpness...
That’s so helpful for beginners.. thanks a bunch 🌷
*PETER'S GOT HIS 120 FACE ON! lol*
steady is very helpful for learning to make cinematic video
MATTI FIX THE SECOND TO LAST LENS ON YOUR SHELF!! It should be extended a little and it’s bothering meeee 😭😭
Man I just subscribed. Great video tutorial. Just got into Filmmaking and photography a year ago and im learning on the go. it helps a lot to have great tips from people like you. My set up is a ZY Smooth 4, A DJI Osmo Mobile 2, iPhone 8 Plus, Sony A5000 and a Mavic air. What you think?
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Matti, long time sub and love your work. I am trying to find a video about which picture profile/ or settings you use for 1dx ii. Need Help!
Hi Matti! I am considering to go for a Canon 6d mark 2, but I have big question mark since it cannot record video in LOG files. How do you color process your footage? Directly from mp4 files? Thanks!
I'm using crane 2 from last 3 months... it's amazing
Awesome video! I use a gimbal for my GoPro made by EVO which works pretty well. Have you checked out their gimbals for larger cameras?
Thanks Travel Feels... Woops I mean Matti Haapoja. Just got the Ronin-M so will be trying some of these tips. Thanks again
Any cheap options for those of us on a budget ? £700 is a lot to shell out after buying a camera, and microphone, and batteries and SDCard, and everything else :( Anything in the £100 to £200 region ?
Thank you! Two questions if you don't mind: 1) Are all these shots done in Pan Follow mode? and 2) For that last oner with the truck, were you standing on a sideboard outside the truck?? Thanks again!
Great video Matti! excellent teacher. I noticed at around 7:00 you phased in the intensity of your LUT (Which i bought last week and Love!) what was the reason? (easter egg?) Thanks and keep it up!
Just got our DJI RS2 gimbal. Going to try try these tips and moves now! Thanks for the video.
6:43 how did you do this shot? did you stay outside the truck?
Thanks for sharing. We’re new creators and have been using a DJI osmo and really love it for the iPhone. We’ll be trying out these techniques
Can you give me the link to the gimbal you used for this? Thanks!
check out the new music video from my band ANGIZ! Drone and A7III action!
What fps were these taken at?
Thank you Matti! Camera moves are the next thing I need to work on and this is a very helpful video.
How did you skip the part where you open the truck door and get inside?
I am looking for a gimbal that will work for larger cameras such as Ursa Mini and Red. Haven't found one. Have you?
"Here Matti we want to hook you up with this 6 year old USED glidecam; we think you're gonna really like the tech" - your sponsor contact at glidecam
You rock bro! Thanks for your tips.
Ronin-S drops soon! I'm hoping its THE ONE.
Weird. It's almost like you know about a new gimbal coming out soon from a certain Chinese manufacturer and are trying to get their attention... Hmmm.
Hey! Did you use adjust some stablization with a software? Thanks!
can you explain more on the speed of your movement? for slo-mo, normal speed, etc... how fast should you and your subject move? any tips on that?
BTS of you hanging off the truck to get that final shot would have made this a perfect video Matti! Peter drove pretty fast there hey?... haha... hang on mate! Really nice work.
How did you do this part ? You were holding the truck while Peter was driving ? th-cam.com/video/e_r8StcQS1g/w-d-xo.html
Dude, dont get these kids confused; "push in" is not a "dolly in". you need a dolly for any kid of "dolly whatever"
Seriously? Everything was in slomo. That's not cinematic it's a crutch.
Would I be able to put my black magic monitor on my A7sii with the gimbal?! What do you think?!
Really enjoyed this video Matti. Good information and easy to understand and digest. Just bought a DJI Osmo Mobile 3 and will be practicing the moves you talk about in preparation with an upcoming trip to Europe..............thanks
Awsome ! Could you make one for glidecam as well ? I mean a gimbal is not always the best toll for every handheld rig movement😄
Hmm, so how to you get that transition from McKinnon exits the truck, you open your door and get out with the gimbal without getting the door frame (or closing of the door) in your shot?
I’m still trying to figure out when you got into the truck 😂. Or did you just follow him outside of it? Either way, love the video! I just got the crane in the mail last week!
