    Who needs a gimbal when you have magic hydraulic arms?!

    Just a tip
    In the tree's flower shot, instead of going out of focus to in focus, do the contrary. Start in focus and go backwards loosing focus. Then, reverse it in the edit. It works like a charm.
    Keep up the good work! Great video.

    I love how you show a preview after taking the little bit of b-roll. Makes me excited and happy

    Damn I love how you are able to ignore the people who wonder what you are doing. I still get very self conscious about people looking at me while I'm recording. Half the time, I'm not even talking into the camera which I'm sure would be even harder. Maybe you should write a video about that one day mate. Anyway, thanks for the tips. Whoever gave this video a thumbs down is a weak hater with serious mental issues. They are jealous that their work sucks and instead of working on doing better, with your tips, they rather live life a loser. Cheers Mate!

      I am 100% with you on this one! I was very self conscious for a long time, trying to put videos together and getting absolutely no where as I'd lose my trail of thought every time someone would walk near me ... I could be knocking a shot out the park, see someone and freeze 😦👎 Keep at it though, for me it was just a case of scripting bullet points so I had a rough idea what I wanted to say, taking a deep breathe, fighting that fear and rolling with it ... Eventually I began to see nobody really bothered and those who did actually took an interest, asking questions about my channel & giving advice on what I should be looking to film in their towns, etc 😁

  • @ExploringCanadaInfo
    @ExploringCanadaInfo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I really appreciate how you emphasized sequencing the shots, moving from wide to close. Always easier to plan your shots and how they’re going to fit together then feel the frustration of missing a key shot when you’re putting things together in post. Super well done video. So helpful. Thank you very much.

  • @zhour11
    @zhour11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hey, Thomas. For the flower shot, you can always start in focus on the subject and then move backwards and then play the clip in reverse in post so that it looks like you're moving into focus. Just a thought. Daniel Schiffer does a great job explaining it in his videos.

  • @rztrk3311
    @rztrk3311 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Ive seen quite a few tutorials about shooting b-roll in youtube but I find this the most useful- when we can actually see you doing it and follow along. Thanks for the tips!

  • @KaylaJoyce98
    @KaylaJoyce98 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I've been loving this series!! At times, I came home from a shoot and go through the clips and felt so unsatisfied that I never used them, but I couldn't put my finger on what I was doing "wrong." I'm realizing from your tips that I've been doing silly little things like filming 10-second clips in which I spend 5 seconds looking for the shot. These tips will definitely help me maximize my time and storage, and I'm excited to use them in my next video, so thank you !!

  • @AndyElliottrealtor
    @AndyElliottrealtor 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Thomas,
    Also from me a huge thanks for all the tips, tricks and sharing your views about filmmaking with your fans here! I have learned a lot from you and I am trying to put it to good use which works sometimes better than other times. Also I cannot be as mobile as you are showing here because I have to use a walking cane to keep my balance. But again, that does not stop me from learning from pro's like you.
    Thank you for sharing and hopefully I can keep improving to the best ability I can bring.

    @kvitalij82 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thomas, this is amazing techniques and explanation. Also good idea to show short samples in between shooting rather that waiting for the last part to see the full clip.
    I recently started doing a bit of videos myself, and I was struggling to get stable shots handheld. but they way you do it, just amazes me. Thank you for great hands on tutorial.
    I can't get nowhere near the way you are doing, practice makes perfect _ I guess. Got a gimball for smooth shots and that solved few issues, but the weight of it kills me after a full day of walking around. Plus XH1, Well you have to sacrifice in some other areas in order to get a desired smooth shooting. Thank you. Will wait for more videos like that from you.
