Hi! My name is Zdenka Darula. I work as a photographer. I'm a former model and few
other things. I make tutorials and fun v-log, so don't forget to hit the
subscribe button. And my guest for today's video is, Hey, my name is Celine,
I'm a TV journalist and a fan of new technologies and my youtube channel is called iCeline.
Today's video will be a fun one. That's right. Once we show you all the
tips and tricks how to get that smooth, cinematic footage, we will be actually
challenging each other. You will be able to watch my b-roll at the end of this
video on my channel and if you visit Celine's channel you will be able to see
her b-roll at the end of her video. First though, let's get through all the
steps to help you stabilize your footage without the gimbal. Pull your camera
close to your chest, lock elbows in and move your whole body while filming.
Use strap on your camera. That way the pressure will be on the back of your
neck and you can get those smooth panning shots from left to right and right to left.
Two or three points of view. Some people are holding camera in one hand.
You should be really holding it in two. If you are using strap, make sure you bring
it around your neck that will create a third point of view or if you are
looking through the viewfinder, make sure your camera is actually touching your
face or forehead.
Use wider lens instead of telephoto. The wider the lens, the less
shake. Use image stabilized lens. Simply if you have image stabilizer on
your lens don't turn it off for your video. Use warp stabilizer in Adobe
Premiere Pro to get rid of those shaky footage. If your camera has a built-in
stabilizer, turn that option on. When you do a follow shot or a leading shot, walk
like a ninja and not like a hockey player.
Use slow motion to create smooth motion. Use wheels if you have them. Skateboard,
rollerblades, booster board, anything goes. Have your settings ready on the camera
before you start rolling because if you're gonna be touching the settings
during the shoot as soon as you let go of the of the camera with one hand you
will definitely create a shake.
Free-fall. Make step forward or backwards just like as you are falling. That will
create that specific moment of a smooth footage. Well now it's time to try all
these tips and tricks. It's challenge time. That's right!

Now, if you want to see Celines' footage, her b-roll, the video link is in the
description below. Thank you Celine for doing this it was so awesome to do a
video with you. Zdenka thank you so much for doing this it's always a
pleasure to challenge you. Well my final thoughts are that if you want to have
balance in your videos, you want to introduce some shaky footage as well.
That means, you can grab your gorilla pod and you can perhaps go from one place to
the other or you can just simply move the camera from one place to the other.
