Ahoj, this is Zdenka. I am in this beautiful location in a Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
Today we're going to be filming cinematic B-roll of this place
handheld.
No Gimbal. Last tutorial was a complete walk through Filmic Pro. Today
it's going to be the practical one.
I'm going to be filming in a Filmic Pro.
I'm going to show camera settings, some moves, some transitions.
We'll put it together with the music and play at the end.
And if you are new here, welcome.
My name is Zdenka Darula.

The tools I'm going to be using today is an iPhone 13 pro with a clear
case from Moment.
I have a Moondog Lab Adapter and VND filter from Moment as well.
Everything is linked
below in a video description in case you're interested to check it out.
Before I start filming, let me show you my camera settings.
So right now, if I go to resolution, I'm filming in 4K
8-bit and Filmic Extreme, 16x9 resolution.
Let's go to frame rate.
I have it set to 60 because I want the flexibility in a post
to slow down some of the clips.
And I also turned on the stabilization.
I'm using cinematic.
There is going to be a little bit of a latency, that means delay
in the picture preview as I am moving, but I can still deal with that.
There's also a little bit of a crop.
I could use cinematic plus, but the latency is too big.
I don't like that too much, so I'll be very much OK
with this cinematic and I know the video will be good.
I don't need to really use gimbal for this one.
My white balance
I have set to Sunny right now
and when I look at the shutter speed,
I locked 1/120th of a second,
moved the ISO to the lowest one I could.
Let's jump right into it with a classic reveal.
Next shot
just will be quick pan from the side.
I'm also noticing that the camera
has a hard time focusing here and there
when I have the variable filter a little bit darker.
Here's a quick tip.
When you're filming handheld, it's way easier to move a bit faster
while you're panning to avoid any up and down unwanted movements.
Once you slow down the clip in a post,
you get a very smooth shot.
Because it's early in the morning,
the light is hitting nicely
this little lake and I always tend to film
with the sun in my back so I'm seeing the reflection of the water
before I move on and I shoot against the Sun. Telephoto lens
will give you a completely different look.
It is good to switch lenses to get variety. Because it is such a big zoom,
you have to move extremely slowly and avoid any movement up and down.
Because it is early spring and we don't really have that much greenery yet,
overall shots where the lighting is the best, we'll do the trick.
The rest will have to be filled up with a lot of detail shots showing greenery.
When I'm filming detail shots, I try to film against the sun
to get a lot of sun streaks like now with this tree.
And I can actually do a little curve here
because it's handheld.... ...so I can really choose
which way.
Closeup shots are all about texture and color.
This shot is filmed with standard lens. Get very close
against the sun again.
Same spot, but different shot.
This time focus is locked on far distance
to get a blurry foreground.
Let's stay
with water for a bit and do a fast reveal.
This shot will be slowed down and it post which is perfect
for moving water.
Spring flowers have rich colors.
Look for those as well.
Water has also interesting texture and color.
The more variety of close up shots of different objects, the better.
These are done with telephoto lens.
Spring is all about the greens
and I found an absolute treasure. Look at the structure,
look at the texture, the color how beautiful it is.
As this is another green color,
let's continue with creative shots which will help with transitions
in the post.
Ultra wide angle lens is also a macro lens.
Get as close as possible to get a
fine detail.
The classic tree crown spin shot
has different colors and textures than all the other shots.
Leading lanes are something you want to look for as well.
Especially if you will use ultra wide angle lens.
As this will give you interesting look.
Another green texture, just different,
different plant, very fresh green. Filming against
the sun, with just a standard lens to give
this beautiful streaks of the light.
That's it.
As I was filming against the light, I gave it kind of like the silhouette.
So the sun was peeking through. Now when you turn it around the other way
and there is a green foliage behind that,
you are just going to get very rich green.
And that's the that's what today is all about.
Green, yellow,
wood, rocks, water,
blue color, springtime.
Right now I have a standard lens, and I'm going right in
to get the soft texture as close to the lens
as possible.
So there you have it.
Just a smartphone, no gimbal, no monopod.
Obviously, the moments are a little bit different.
At one point, I was able to create different moves than normally,
but unfortunately, I felt that my hands were tied and I cannot do
the large movements I would normally do with a gimbal or a monopod on top of it.
Let's add some music now and let's play the final piece.
