Ahoj! This is Zdenka. I think that we
all know that classic
whip transition. Very simply pan in the
first clip
and then whip to the side or up and down
cut it,
in the next clip from the whip go to
slow pan.
You will obviously cut it from the whip
to the slow pan and then
apply cross dissolve transition between
if you need it to make it even smoother
and done and that's great. That will be
the perfect transition ideal for
beginners. But what if we can use it
a little bit more creative way? Well, in
today's video I've got
five of them maybe for now. First of all,
let's stay with that classic whip
transition just in case there's somebody
new
and is an absolute beginner when it
comes to smartphone filmmaking.
Let's explain that first. I'm using DJI
OM4, my phone is iPhone 12 pro,
my settings are: I'm filming in DJI Mimo,
24 frames per second
and 4k size. I'm not using any
variable ND filter because this is
beginners friendly video today.
My mode right now is follow mode
and I'm not going to be using that one
because
when I'm doing a slow pan and I do quick
whip
the gimbal is going to react very slowly.
So for that reason I am going to go
to settings and select sports mode.
Whenever I'm planning or doing this whip
transition, I always select sports mode
because that way when I'm actually
whipping with the gimbal
it reacts very quickly and I'm getting
that fast movement.
Let's get the first clip down. What I
have right now is tilt lock mode because
I am seeing a horizon here in this shot
and I don't want the camera to go up and
down. I want it to stay the same,
only to move left and right. I also
selected sports mode on top of it
so I'm getting the fast movement. Before
I start filming, what I have to do
is actually select the right exposure. So
I'm going to tap in the center of the
square to make sure I get the center
exposure and center focus. Slide the sun
a little bit down because
I'm finding that the iPhone likes to
overexpose the shots a little bit.
So again, I'm going to pan very slowly
until I see
until I have enough of the shot and then
move very quickly to the side.
I found second spot. Now so what I'm
gonna do with the second shot, I'm just
gonna continue
with the whip to a slow pan.
When you're editing those clips, it is
the best to match the speed of whip.
My first clip was a bit slower so I had
to speed it up
right here.
And now let's play the result.
Now it's time to change it a little bit.
So I'm gonna be planning my shots a
little bit better to make the
transition a bit seamless,
by meaning first shot I chose here which
is just starting
in this area showing the woods and the
whip will happen
into the green, into the trees. The next
shot I'm gonna
find something where I can start with
similar trees
continuing revealing the second location.
The difference will be
that with the first one I'm gonna shoot
with ultra wide angle lens or standard
and the second shot I'm gonna probably
pick telephoto or some different lens.
I have to bring the the gimbal to a
flash light position because as you can
see
the gimbal motor is in a shot. So I have
to make sure I tilt it forward a little
bit.
I'm going to add cross dissolve
transition between
but only a very short one, the shortest I
can do.
This way, the whole transition will be
very smooth.
I'm pretty sure you've seen me in my
past video to do a glitch.
I like to do that quite a lot. So I
thought that would be a
fun idea to add the glitch between the
whip.
Meaning, first clip, second clip and I
just add the glitch between. So I found
the trees with the same texture, the same
color.
I took off the phone from the gimbal. All
I'm going to do is select
just a regular camera mode and put it on
standard lens.
Make sure that the brightness is lower
just like the other ones before so it's
complementing
the colors and I'm just gonna move it
from side to the side
like that to get a little movement for
the glitch.
Now, I'm not going to move it up and down
or this kind of way because I simply
want
to stay complimentary with the whip.
Here my first clip. Ending needed to be
faster so I speeded that up.
Also glitch clip itself needed to be way
faster
and I did some color grading to match
the green
of the trees.
Or when you are vlogging and you are
recording yourself
and you want to surprise your audience.
What you can actually do is
as you're recording and vlogging and
talking, you can suddenly whip
on your body parts like your arm and
legs which will be in another location.
And you can actually whip
back. Something like this. What a
beautiful day. Another day,
it's sunny, the spring is definitely
coming, the ice is slowly going away.
I'm only missing one more thing.
I think we should get a coffee.
Because I was recording myself with
selfie camera,
I had to apply horizontal flip. The same
goes with the coffee mug
shot and then it was all about cutting
the clip
at the right moment and here it goes.
What a beautiful day. Another day, it's
sunny, the spring is definitely coming
the ice is slowly going away.
I'm only missing one more thing.
I think I should get a coffee.
Let's try to make it even more dynamic.
So the first one I'm now going to do
just a regular pan showing off
really peaceful beautiful location. Very
quickly whip
to the side, find another location and
I will be doing a lot of movement there
on the second one. So
let's go for it. I'm going to actually
lock this shot. I'm going to start from
low so
I'm going to hold the trigger, go low to
the ground
so as I'm going up revealing the
location
quickly whip to the side and again
locking the trigger going all the way to
the ground,
revealing location and whip. I found
something. So I'm gonna try to do a few
different cuts,
quick whip showing this structure and
then continuing this way. That way
hopefully when I cut it together,
the attention won't be so much on the
whip itself
but it's gonna show the different clips
and they should be overpowering
the transition. So let's get ready.
I'm gonna go even lower.
Next one I'm just going to continue this
way and I'm going to lock this shot.
I don't want the frame to move. So I'm
holding a trigger right now.
I try not to move it too much.
And if you see that last two frames have
strong color like the grass here,
it is better to cut that off for less
distraction during
whip transition.
Or in this instance, you can completely
mess up people's brains
and you can connect together two clips
with the whip transition when the second
clip
will be kind of reversed. Something like
that.
How was that done? Well, that's for the
