hey what's up everybody it's your boy Hugh here bringing you another Hollywood movie Magic in VR
180. this is an 8K 3D VR 180 video you should really look around in your VR headset today we
are going to talk about how to move a VR 180 camera that does not make your audience sick
in a VR headset and on top of that I'm going to teach you how to build a budget
but professional motion control system for Creative VR 180 filmmaking meanwhile
so what is motion control can you guess which clone is the real Hugh?
the camera is moving slowly and I feel awkward because my clone is staring right at me where
so his is the Clone I am the real Hugh or am I and you are moving into 3D space most
YouTubers know how to clone themselves easily if the camera is not moving static but it's
usually pretty hard if the camera is moving because timing will be perfect right Hugh? I I
don't care guys I don't care which ones are real Hugh. I'm just here for my lunch just let me eat
which of you guys told my lunch?! several bad puns Luke let's get back to motion control
motion control is the ability to control motion on a repeatable basis the key use of motion control
is to allow you to shoot multiple subjects two or more with the same caramel move usually with
a camera robot when you combine them together in Hollywood movie Magic post production they look
like they are filmed at the same time like my clones around me or like Austin Power or Dr. Evil
such a Clone Trick is actually very easy to do with a stationary 360 camera like the
Insta360 X3 but extremely hard to do with a moving camera or very expensive to do to make
it even more difficult we are going to teach you how to do it in 3D in 8K VR 180 so let's go
Stay till the end of this video to check out some brand-new VR180 video samples of
2 upcoming VR180 cameras, one with TWO Full frame sensors and the other one
with TWO APS-C sensors. And news on a new consumer VR180 camera with TWO 1" sensors.
Figuring out how to move a VR camera that does not make people sick is crucial for Filmmaking—camera
movement helps communicate characters' emotional changes and the progression of the story. Like
what you see here in our latest VR Film, Vanllia Lily, or it can use to direct viewer attention in
a vast 180 space, like this VR180 cooking show for Vivian from the famous CookingBomb YouTube
and TikTok channels - available soon on Meta Quest TV, check the link on the top right corner.
Let's go back to the camera movement on Vanllia Lily, which is filmed on a gimbal in Paris,
the motion is still too much for anyone new to VR Film. Re-watch this part in your VR headset.
To move your VR180 camera or 3D 360 camera smoothly, we recommand building some kind of track
system. Just like what Hollywood does on all their productions, but on a very affordable budget.
First, let me show you in 3D, what is my setup. We have the CAME-TV Power Dolly Kit, as you see right
here, on a rail system. The rail system makes sure my tripod and camera travel on track exactly the
same each time with very smooth motion. Since each motion is exactly the same, now all you need is
smart directing and blocking of your talents. As you see here, I don't have any help, just myself.
So I just filmed myself 3 times with different outfit. If I messed up the timing or the script,
just do it again, knowing that the camera movement is exact the same each time. This is also a great
setup for a 1-man home studio, exactly like this. The benefit compared to the traditional slider
system is that the CAME-TV system can travel a lot further, hold heavier cinema camera equipment,
and for VR180, easily hide the slider by creating distance between the camera and the tracks.
In post-production, you can just simply mask each character back in the scene. As
you see right here. Since the camera motion is exactly the same, you can easily animate
the mask without worry about matching each take. That is how we do the clone magic with
a moving VR180 camera. The same principle can apply to a 3D 360 camera or a 2D camera. A bolt
cinema Robot motion control system can easily cost 300,000
US dollars. My system here is less than a $1000. Now, Let me show you my budget motion
control system in great detail so you can build yours to add motion on your next VR Film project
okay now let's talk about all the here right here so right here this whole thing is a came-TV
motorized slider leg allow you to put a tripod like this one on top of it we have some of my
gimbal system right stabilization suit but the most important is the camera so filming
me is the Canon r5c but we also had the Canon R5 right here let's talk about it real
quick let's turn it on uh this screen is not that bright as you see you can't even see on uh
my chest camera right here but that's why we have right here the Portkey this is the Portkey Pt6
this is a very affordable little screen that have really high
net comes with a little visor right here to allow you to see the image clearly so you look at the
graph in here but then here you can see it this is a touch screen by the way we like zoom in like 10
times more than the Canon can and it's come with the midi HDMI it goes straight to the Canon so
it's a very affordable lightweight little uh as you see like we got a tiny battery can last all
day so really lightweight affordable uh display that also comes this little thing right here so
you can do stuffs like this when you filming right it's really great so highly recommend it
next thing we want to talk about is right here the tripod system this is Ulanzi MT-59 is
a brand new tripod system that's designed for VR 180 filmmaking why is that so look at that
I'll show you guys how cool this thing is so when it comes in it's just a regular tripod
oh yeah it's like a Transformer so regular tripod
so it come with just that like a regular tripod with Acra-swiss plate
you can do the standard tripod thing uh when you carry around by the way it's fully metal build
super solid it's a professional tripod it's not carbon fiber it's not designed for light but it's
designed for sturdy and reliable you can just turn it into a monopod if you're wondering again right
here you can turn the walking stick monopod and put a camera on top right there and then you do
Run and Gun VR 180 if speed is what you need I'm not using it's a regular tripod so let me show you
how I'm gonna use it so when you untie this knob right here actually this one this is turning nod
you go up it's a secret button right here hopefully you see it but then when I click it
you go up and then you will lock it right here but when untie this knob Boom the whole thing
untied fall so you can do like you can obviously you can do a low angle shot but that's not what we
do today hopefully you see it it's a little marker right here to tell a degree marker see that the
marker and how do I know it's 90 degree like right here when this is in 90 degree you can lock it
so now this is a 90 degree setup right here if the leg is fully extended and then lock it right here
again you can adjust uh you know the the how far you want to go out from here you don't need to go
that far you can mark down right here it's already the leg will already disappear so it depends on
your camera uh but you can also do stuff like this if you need more high right now the leg is
not fully extend but can fully extend you know what let me full extend for you guys to see how
high this thing is so this is a way higher than our travel tripod which we already review it uh
it's already like reaching my eye level right here so this thing you can also support hat very sturdy
ball head like very sturdy so one of the really well built Bullhead that I see Ulanzi makes well
built gear so that is already reaching like normal American people high I'm a little bit higher I'm
kind of TALL Asian but if you want to get higher you can actually do that easily by just untie this
knot right there and get some degree boom right there right and then fully extend this thing
so you still got full clearance on the leg uh because when you 90 degrees you only need to
go down to here you got full clearance but if you want to rise up you can go all the way up
in here and then adjust the ball head to level it boom now you have my head high you're gonna film
high angle VR 180 for some reason you can do that on this tripod without putting apple boxes
underneath so it's a really great travel tripod and I highly recommend the Ulanzi MT-59 for VR 180
You can build different kind of tracks using this lightweight metal pipes we are
going to build a quarter Circle to a straight line path because of the limited Spade in my
backyard as you see they are very easy to connect thanks to their magnetic system I don't connect
the end just yet as my ground is not perfectly level the whole system is powered by this small
90 watt v-lock battery here it will last you all day now put the Ulanzi MT-59 onto the
power Dolly Leg adjusting the height of the camera usually you want your VR 180 camera has the same
height as your talents eye line so now I level the camera the trick here is look at the line
here over here you see it you don't just here first because it's just front heavy
so you want to adjust the leg right here loosen it up move it until you see the green line there
it's kind of level by the way the camera is also not level on this sense right
here everything's locked so untie this one turn it like that until the line is green
yeah great and that very important step you want to put a sandbag secure whole system
right here you can put a lot of weight on this system by the way but it's on
the ground it's not slider so you throw away on it but open the same bed you
secure system and now everything's secured and we are ready to shoot
Now let's switch gears and talk about all the new VR180 cameras coming into the market this
year! FXG, maker of FM DUO is releasing not 1, not 2 but 3 new VR cameras this year! The FM DU0 Plus,
the upgrade version of the FM DUO, is the world's first 12K VR180 camera featuring TWO full-frame
sensor. As you see the image quality here, shot on the FM DUO Plus, it is pretty ridiculous.
This is not gonna be an affordable option, and it is going to be a lot more expensive than my
Canon R5C with the dual fisheye lens. So FXG listened to its consumer and releasing a 2nd
VR180 camera called FM Dream - featuring 2X APS-C Sensors and up to 8K 50fps VR180. This is a music
video shot on the FM Dream you are watching. The quality is on part with the Canon R5C. Watch this
video on Meta Quest TV with 8K Caech download to really see the uncompressed image quality.
The third camera, it is a 12K 360 camera called FM DUO S. So for those monoscopic 360 video shooters,
this dual full frame sensors 360 camera is def something you are looking for. The sensor distance
is around 4.5cm making it very easy to stitch in post-production with software like Mistika VR.
I don't have any of those cameras yet. But when I do, which is very soon,
I will do an indepth technical review for you guys. So hold on to your wallets and save up!
We also just got news, Teche, the maker of 360Anywhere, is releasing a consumer-grade,
small-body VR180 camera with 2 1" sensor. The camera can shoot up to 8K 30fps VR180
and fit in your pocket. It will be released middle of the year of 2023.
