Hey guys Yannick here for Cinecom.net
and we are back back again for an awesome Copycat Friday.
The best day of my week.
Spin me back around Lorenzo, this is getting weird
And today we are going to recreate another Dude Perfect video.
When doing our research for this week's Copycat Friday
we came across the new trick shot video from Dude Perfect - The Unpredictable Trick Shots
But the thing that caught our eye was the intro.
Here you can see Tyler from Dude Perfect standing upside down on the ceiling
while throwing a small basketball into a hoop.
Now of course, this is fake.
And I mean the room, of course, they actually build an upside-down room
and this means that they mounted the couch and the cabinet to the ceiling while you can stand on the floor
and when you then Flip your camera it looks like you're upside dow.
which is actually fake so, they did the trick, but the room is fake.
You know what I mean
And to really sell the effect they also added some extra touches such as these balloons.
They are probably weighed down to something so that it looks like they are floating.
Floating and then for the ball that he throws.
Well that shows that the balloon isfilled with helium
and when he throws it it will rise to the ceiling which is actually the floor in this case.
And now you know how did it.
So that was it for this week. Thank you so much for watching and like always
Stay creative!
I'm joking
We are still going to show you how you can recreate this effect without building an upside-down set.
Let's do this.
♪
The first thing you need is a room with a lower ceiling.
We are going to shoot in our entrance hall and we are doing this from a tripod of course.
The one thing you need to pay attention to is the height of the tripod
Because we are going to composite two shots together to fake the upside down
they need to match in camera angle.
So if you place your camera exactly in the middle of the height of the room
you can easily flip your footage around to composite it together as they have the same camera angle.
So measure the height and divide it by 2, and this will be the height of your camera.
After placing your camera we are going to take an empt yshot of the room then keep
your camera rolling and now we are going to throw the ball towards the hoop
We are doing this by bouncing the ball on the floor into the basketball hoop.
When doing this try to throw the ball in the same angle as you would when standing on the ceiling.
This means also stand at the exact same spot that you are going to do later on
when you pretend to stand on the ceiling.
Now for this ceiling shot again keep the camera rolling then we place a whiteboard on the floor.
This will represent our ceiling and will make the blending easier in post-production.
You can pick whatever matches with your real ceiling.
Now your actor can take place on the board you picked
and behind them we are going to hang a green-screen.
Let your actor do his thing like for instance look up to the ceiling which is actually the floor in the final effect,
and then he can throw the ball he is holding to the ceiling.
And when you have done this we can start with the post-production in Premiere Pro.
The first thing we are going to do is talk about Storyblocks video.
a online stock video library that keeps on expanding
and I recommend it for every filmmaker.
It can help you with missing shots in your edit or which shots you just can't make because
for example, you don't live in the mountains, but you need a mountain shot,
or maybe you don't own a drone but you still need a drone shot.
Well, Storyblocks vide.
It can even help you save time with their easy to customize logo reveals and After Effects templates.
But the best thing about story blogs video is the fact that you only have to pay one single price per year
to get unlimited downloads.
So don't waste any time and go to the first link in the description below and start downloading.
Okay
open up Premiere Pro and let's look for the three parts within our footage.
The empty shot, the throw shot and the green screen shot.
First we are going to place the empty shot on track number 1
then on track number 2 we are going to place the throw shot.
On this throw shot we can draw a mask or out the actor
of course invert the mask to remove him.
Now on top of everything we can place our green screen shot.
In the effects library look for the flip vertical effect and drag that to your green screen.
This will flip the clip upside down. Next up is removing the green.
Look for the ultra key effect and drag that to your green screen clip
with the color picker you can now select the green and remove it, adjust your settings if needed.
Last also create a mask around your actor and the floor he is standing on.
Increase the feather to make the board and the ceiling blend together and then for some details.
First we want to sync the thtrowing of the ball. Move the clip on track number 2 to the left or the right
to match the timing of the ball from the green screen clip,
then their very last step is to place your actor perfectly on the celing.
You can just move the actor around with the position property
but when moving the actor also take the drawing of the ball into account.
What does that mean? You can align your ball from the greenscreenshot
with the other ball.
And last but not least at a fake hand up motion to it all
which you can find the link to in the description below.
And that's it!

Now it's time for a
Yannicks
Fun
Fact
FOUNTAAAAAAAIIIIN
Well, I don't really have effect for you guys
but I do want to figure out something.
the identity of the Dude Perfect Panda.
Apparently this is a very big secret.
So does anybody have a clue who the Panda is?
I really want to know but anyways, that was it for today guys.
Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you Storyblocks video for the support and like always
Stay creative!
