Ahoj!. This is Zdenka. You're looking at this very empty set which
will turn into Hockey Night B roll filming said very quickly, very soon
actually. As soon as I'm gonna start bringing all the stuff in. And I'm
gonna take you on the journey with me. I'm gonna show you behind the scenes,
what am I using, how I am filming all the steps. I'll share all the tips and tricks
and also show you how I am editing this b-roll sequence. As I was looking at my
black background over there, I just realized that I'm at the end of the roll.
I have no more paper left so I got to be very careful today not to damage
anything because I don't really have a new one here. Got to order one. I have a
guest here today. When I was looking for a model I didn't have to look too far. I
didn't have to go anywhere because he's here in this house. His name is Milan. I
thought he would be the perfect person when it comes to hockey. Now, I'm gonna
get in so much trouble for this because he doesn't like to advertise that, but
once he was a player, a hockey player. Professional player on a very high level
in Slovakia, then he had a major injury with achilles tendon. He is still very
much active player. I am more of a figure skater so I don't know much about hockey.
So I needed someone who can really help me out, come up with some shots. This is a
team work, we are making this B roll together, hopefully you guys enjoy it and
hopefully we can come up with something cool and epic.
Well, the first set is built. Here is hockey bench, sort of looks like a hockey
bench and hockey bag. And we are obviously missing the main person. There
he is. Thanks for joining and we will get to it.
The first camera I'm gonna be using today actually it is the only camera I'm gonna be
using is the canon M6 mark II. I'm gonna be using just a kit lens 15 to 45
millimeters. The only challenge I'm having a little bit is that the background
is quite narrow, so and he is super tall as all the hockey guys are tall, so I
have to be really, really cautious what I'm seeing. So we started with the
shot as the bag was going down, the next one will be unzipping the bag,
getting the tape to tape the hockey stick.
I have to go a little bit higher because I'm short obviously and I need to do a
shot where he's taping the hockey stick.
This part where he is applying puck to the hockey tape is something I would
have no idea about. I don't play hockey. I wouldn't even think of recording this, so
this is how important it is to hire someone for a shoot where you need to film
something pretty specific. I am filming the entire shoot at 60 frames per second
because I want the option of being able to slow down the footage and still
record audio at the same time.
This video is meant to show you that you can just
have a basic tools to create something creative. As you can see I have only one
light here. The truth is, I was supposed to get another one, another product but
it didn't arrive so I'm using whatever I have and even though I have only that
one light, you can still create pretty dramatic result, so there's no excuse. It
doesn't matter what the camera you have, it doesn't matter what light you have,
you can make it work.
So now the shot will be tying up the skates and actually for that, I'm gonna
try brand new tool which is a slider and we'll see how that will help to get very
steady nice slow move showing off the process of tying the boots.
1,2,3 go...
Right at this point I feel like I need to explain something because we just
realized that you guys might get really confused. He's wearing jersey which looks
like Maple Leafs. We are huge fans of Maple Leafs especially Milan but he's
wearing actually DANCO maple leafs. Danko maple leafs. It's not maple
leafs. This is, this is a team he's playing for, so yeah don't get confused
here. The next shot I'm gonna be revealing him
starting to watch his hockey game on TV. Obviously it's too difficult to bring TV.
Yeah, we have a TV in the house but it's... I'm not gonna take it off the wall and
bring it here. So I found this old monitor somewhere in the storage , brought
it here. The back of the monitor computer monitor looks like TV so we are gonna
fake it that way. And I have a slider here again for that shot because it's
gonna look very nice and smooth.... 1,2,3, go...
The revealing scene is done. In the next set of the clips I'm strictly relying on
his acting ability and we'll see how he's gonna go because I need him to do a
whole bunch of expressions as he is watching hockey. And to be truthful when
he's watching hockey, especially Czech playing Slovakia, I leave the house. Actually, I practiced last night. I was watching
Leafs in Arizona. There you go. For the watching part I am using the F7 pokelite
light. I did the review on this light. Actually, I'm gonna link it in a
video description below so you can check it out. This light is awesome and it has
a lot of special effects. There is one special effect, it's actually TV. It's
gonna be flashing the lights, making it look like he's seriously watching TV. So
as I'm shooting this, you will watch him to do a whole bunch of different
expressions. I'm gonna be throwing stuff on him and hopefully we will get what I
need. Come on, come on.... get the puck.
Goal! Goal! Finally! Boys, that
is how we play. That's how we play. That's what we need to do boys. Let's win this game.
Now that they scored, we are actually having a little break here too. It's the
commercial break. I think he's sweating in that for sure.
I'm sweating myself so it's time for some refreshment and as any hockey guy
who is watching hockey, probably would drink a beer. We have a beer here but
just for your information, for filming purposes, showing on YouTube, this is
non-alcoholic beer so you can absolutely drive after that. He's not too happy about
that but hey it's filming set. On filming set you usually don't have a real
beer with alcohol. So I'm gonna go do a few handheld shots where he's actually
opening the can and that shot I have to do on one take because we really have
only one can here and then the next few shots will be obviously as he's getting
refreshed and then we'll go back to the expressions for the hockey game. Rolling...
The refreshment is over so the next job will be him.... he's getting hungry or what?
No...the beer was good. It was good apparently. Once a while nealko. Cool ,alright.
So he's gonna grab the gloves, he's gonna grab the hockey stick, he is gonna go
back to watching the hockey.
Fight him... fight him..
It is coming close, it is coming close,........... goal....
and big celebration.... like really go go go....
sit down, go crazy... go crazy... yeah...
Greet them... happy.... that's how you play. Perfect, so happy with you. Have a sip,
have a sip, have a sip..... perfect, okay. We'll do it again. So cheer
again, happy for them, yeah... so happy need the results, cheers to you
guys. And I think that that will be a wrap. Thank you Milan for being such a
sport. I gotta say it was a good laugh. We had some good laughs. Even we're shaking our heads
what we are doing here but you know what ....Well I tried my best, next time
I will be much better. All right. So we will let him go and I'll be right back.
So the video editing software I am using is Adobe Premiere Pro. Now you're looking
at the final edit of the hockey night b-roll. I chose a very fast music, very
dramatic music, so I wanted to edit the video very fast with lot of
drama,explosiveness, a lot of high rhytm and obviously, this little piece
which is only a minute and something long, took me literally three nights. It
was a very long editing because there's a lot of fast cuts and there's also a
lot of time ramping. I filmed everything at 60 frames per second. Some of the
clips I left in the real speed, some of the clips I slowed down to 80%. Others I
slowed down all the way to 40%. First clip right here is just slowed down to
80%. The second clip has a speed ramp. Slow at the beginning, fast and then slow
again. Next two clips have speed ramp. Again the next few Clips follow. These
are fast cuts, until we get to this flashing effect. I simply went frame by
frame here and I cut it into separate frames and erased every
second frame. So when you play like this, you see that flashing effect. Another
flashing effect because of the music and it is right here. So what I did here, I
cut it again frame by frame, erased every second frame but then here I split
actually the clip here in half and I edit dip to black transition because I
wanted something longer and at the end of the clip again I did that flashing
effect. When I was just erasing the frames very simply put when I left that
clip as it was, it was just very long and if I didn't do all these effects, it will
be quite boring. It would not fit into the whole thing with the dramatic music,
so that's why I decided to do a lot of flashing here, a lot of cut frames. Next
we are getting to the clips where Milan is actually tying his skates and
here I did a lot of speed ramping. I wanted to emphasize the sound of guitar.
And the sound of the guitar is kind of long. That's when he was pulling the
strings. So let me play it now.
That's exactly it. So speed ramping helped me to achieve that effect. Let's
talk about the sound effects. Now the music is super powerful so I didn't add
that many sound effects to it. There's one here where he's actually unzipping
the bag. I have sound here. Then the next sound was a tape, another sound which I
also added was when he was opening the beer can. That was a real sound. And then
crowd cheering and booing and all that... and then obviously the goal horn sound.
So that's it when it comes to sound effects and by the way all the sound
effects and the music I'm using in this video and actually all my other YouTube
videos are from epidemic sound. I linked the epidemic sound in a video
description below. I also placed the name of the song because I know you guys
always ask about that. I think it is worth checking out, they will give you
first month for free. They have a really large library, let's move on to color
grading. Now I was using the adjustment layer and I had to use actually two
adjustment layers. The first one here has a strong reason. I made a huge mistake
when I was filming the first one, two, three, four clips. They were actually wrongly
lit. I forgot to turn off the lights in the ceiling so there is a lot of
orange there. So what I did here I was trying to cool down the clips quite a
bit to match it to the rest of the clips. And for those interested, I created LUT
from this video and also Lightroom preset as I was colouring the image, the
thumbnail and I placed it on my patreon page. For only $2 a month you can get
access to my Luts and Lighroom presets which I'm gonna be adding on weekly
basis. And now, let's just go ahead and play the final video again.
