Welcome to Creative Tuesday, guys. In this series we share some exciting...
...tips and tricks for filmmakers.
I'm your host Jordy, for cinecom.net and today we're having a look at...
…five super simple, yet amazing transitions...
...you can do in camera or with an easy editing trick.
We'll start off with the foreground swipe.
Have some foreground object in your shot, then simply swipe your camera in,
take your shot and swipe your camera back out.
You can now connect this with a similar shot,
where you use a different foreground object.
You can choose to keep going in the same direction with your transitions...
...or in the opposite, creating this little bump effect.
I actually used many of these transitions in a promo video...
...I recently shot for a shopping village.
By the way, those who are wondering which cage that is around my camera,
well, it’s the VARY-I DSLR cage for the Panasonic Lumix cameras.
They did send one to me, but they're not sponsoring...
...or expecting anything from this video.
I just love to make a shoutout to them because it's a really awesome cage.
You can get to all the buttons, it has a strap...
...and a pretty good viewfinder which wraps around your display.
I'll leave a link to the product page in the description below.
The next super amazing simple transition is what I call the turn.
Again, you wanna have some kind of foreground object.
This time we'll not swipe, but turn around that object.
You can even pull focus to the object while doing this.
But make sure that you turn fast enough, definitely if you're going handheld.
On gimbals, this will go a little bit easier.
Then in your next shot, you start turning around another foreground object...
...and then point your camera towards the subject.
If you laid focus on the foreground,
then make sure to start your second shot with the foreground in focus, as well.
Then turn in the same direction at the same speed...
...and then pull your focus back to the subject.

-So, this is why I hate to walk in the park.
It's a minefield of dog shit!
The next transition is the fast motion cut.
You have two objects fastly moving in your shot.
If they move in the same direction,
you can cut to either of them making a pretty cool transition.
Here's an example I did for that promo video I made,
where you can see a pizza going up in the air and falling back down,
but as the pizza falls, we cut to a shirt being put down.
The next camera transition is a flow of different actions.
The idea here is to find a pattern of different motions.
For example, at a basketball game.
A typical action could be where someone is bouncing the ball,
runs up to the ring and trows the ball in.
Since we know it's an action that happens a lot at this game,
we can film this from different angles and players.
Then in post production you cut from one player to another,
but make sure that the action seems to flow.
So, if you cut right before the ball hits the ground,
in your next shot the ball should hit the ground.
So, if we take multiple of these shots and edit them in a sequence,
you could get something like this.
And that brings us to the last transition, which is speed ramping.
Essentially what you do is speed up the last part of your first shot...
...and then speeding up the first part of your second shot.
Combining these two will fast forward the cut in between,
making it flow very nice.
This works best if you film handheld and slowly move in a certain direction or...
...following a moving object.
Now, besides our Youtube channel,

-So, we are breaking a world record right here, guys,
with DIY sound absorption panels.
Have you ever seen that scale of sound absorption panels?
I didn't think so!
This is definitely a new world record!
And this is all the rockwool insulation that goes into these caskets!
