Ahoj! How to shoot food cinematic b-roll with Canon M50, Viltrox speedbooster with
prime lens. I have here Canon 50mm, F/1.8 lens and that's
exactly what I'm gonna try to achieve here today. I'm gonna be throwing some
tips and tricks as well. And if you are new here, welcome. My name is Zdenka Darula,
I create photo and video tutorials, tech reviews and creative camera challenges,
so if that's something you're passionate about, consider subscribing. My guest
today is a very close friend of mine. Her name is Janka. She's originally from
Slovakia, living in Canada just like me and she's excellent cook.
She makes really tasty food. We chose something simple and that would be
baking some Christmas treats since it is that time of the year again. Today, I'm
gonna be filming at 60 frames per second and I would film at 120fps
but the resolution on Canon M50 if you film at 120fps
is only 720p. For that reason I have to shoot at 60 frames
per second because I want the resolution to be 1080p. And I will also record sound.
That's one of the reasons I prefer the 60 frames per second because then I can
use the sound effects when I'm editing the final piece. The reason I chose 50
millimeter lens for today's video is because most of you probably already
have the prime lens at home and for some of you which are thinking about buying
this lens, at least you will get the feel how the video could look like with this
lens. This lens is excellent in low light because it's F 1.8. Normally I don't
really use this lens as much to be honest. I usually use the kit lens 15 to
45 millimeters lens so it might be a little bit charging for me here today as
well. But I just want to know how it's gonna look like. Other than that, I will
use slider here and there and main light which is this ring light. Alright, so this
is my friend Janka... Say hi... hello... and we're gonna be starting now.
First maybe I should just say my camera settings. So I'm shooting at 60
frames per second, my ISO is 250, the shutter speed
obviously is 125th of a second and the aperture even though this lens is
1.8 I'm not gonna keep it at 1.8 because I would get only tiny objects sharp,
everything will be too blurry and I would have a hard time focusing. I
want the sharpest point, the sweet spot of the lens and that would be probably
2.8, 3.8. Right now it's f/4 but I might go a little bit
lower. I'll see how I can handle it. I'm gonna be shooting mostly in manual
focus so I have my peaking on. I'm not gonna be using external monitor, I'm just
gonna try to do that with this LCD screen. I gotta say right at the
beginning that if you're gonna be deciding between the camera Canon
M50 and Canon m6 mark 2, when I'm filming something like this, I'm not too
crazy about actually the flippin screen out because it's on the side. I would
rather look in the direction where my eyes are here, where my my hands are so I
can focus this way. But I have to look a little bit to the left and that causes
me a little bit trouble when I'm filming. On the Canon m6 mark 2, the other
mirrorless camera, it doesn't have the flip out screen. It has just screen
that tilt up and I I like that way better when I'm filming something like this.
Obviously, for vlogging it's better if you're looking at yourself but for
filming cinematic b-roll, I prefer the screen just to flip out. I'm going to try....
she is playing with Insta360Go... I'm going to try to shoot this
very popular food B roll sequence right now, sort of playful, having
fun with the baking. I was inspired by creators like Daniel Schiffer, or James
Matthews. They do it very well. I'm now gonna copy them, I will still do it
with my style but you will get that feel a little bit as she's having fun in the
kitchen and trust me, she can have a lot of fun in the kitchen. She knows what
she's doing. I am having a very strong challenge.
There is a strong light outside, it's very bright and sunny. I blocked all the
windows but the Sun is speaking through. Anyway so you know that the first shots
will definitely have some strong light there. I have my headlights right above.
But I don't really mind right now so keep it in mind that I'm having a
trouble with these sunlight outdoors but we are still going with it we are going
with the flow.
So I'm gonna say 1, 2, 3 and what you will do is tap, open, blow, okay? And slowly, slowly.
Perfect. That was the best one. This one was? That last one.
All right the next step would be to grab that. You grabbed it and throw it to the
other hand.
Perfect, okay. Now you're gonna break it. Let me just get ready... this... this... this...
Perfect. OK, right there. So go for it.
One more time. Perfect.
One more time.
You have no idea how good it smells here... oh my god.... that lemon smell
especially me. I'm still kind of getting over the cold.
And try to do some serious work. She always gets these.....
All right. Thank you so much. It was awesome. We always have so much fun
together. We always go crazy. Always, always. Yeah it's it's never too
good to leave us alone in the kitchen. Anyway..
nope...we are finished, so let's play the final video again.
