Hey guys Yannick here for Cinecom.net and welcome back to another Copycat Friday.
Do you guys remember when I was in love in an LG monitor?
Well,
Move over old love, I have a new love.
This 38 inch ultra white monitor from LG.
Look how pretty it is!
And big ... wait wait, i'll
ahh
Tadaa!
Pretty!
Anyways, we're not here to talk about my love life.
We are here for some Zack King editing magic.
So let's start and fire up Premiere Pro.
Now, the first effect we are going to recreate is pouring the liquid from our new lg ultra wide monitor
or any other monitor you have.
Doesn't matter.
Like you can see in my project panel I already have my footage in there.
But what footage do we need?
Well, that's a good question and let's have a closer look.
Whoa, watch it Lorenzo!
All right. Now that you're here guys, this effect is actually super easy.
The only thing that you have to do is take a bottle with some orange juice inside
and we're going to stick that to the back of the monitor .
Now you want to stick that orange juice a little bit slanted
but make sure that the juice is not coming out.
All right, we can now go ahead and take off the cap from that bottle.
And we've got the glass right here.
The only thing left to do is just play back some kind of an animation because this is not really the desktop.
This is just a video that Yannick made and we're gonna play that back
and as it plays we're gonna pour in the orange juice.
How cool is that ?!
And now that I have a little bit of time together with the brand new LG Ultrawide
I'd like to mention that this thing right here covers 98 % of the DCI-P3 color space.
It also covers 135% of the SRGB color space
and it has HDR 600.
So this thing right here is perfect for creative tasks such as video editing and color corrections.
Now what's also amazing about this Ultrawide is that you have multiple inputs on the back
meaning that you can actually split the displays and have multiple monitors
without having that bezel in the middle.
Talking about awesome stuff guys, heck this out right here.
We've got the brand new Aperture Nova C300C
This right here is an LED panel.
We currently have the softbox modifier over it, but we can take that off.
You can see now how super bright that thing is.
Now this is definitely one of the brightest LED panels that i've ever worked with before.
But that's not even the coolest part about this.
This right here is what I think the coolest thing, you can also control this light through an app.
It is the software behind this LED panel what is so amazing.
For instance, I can change this to Tungsten light.
Or I can also put on one of the thousands of effects that this light has such as a Paaarty!
That's right! This thing right here is an RGB light., so anything is basically possible.
So...
If I understand correctly
there is no post-production
and I'm not needed anymore.
Wait, we can do something in post-production.
To make the effect next level
you can play something on the monitor that will give the intention there will be fluid coming from the monitor.
so we used a clip of an orange on the LG monitor.
I'm not going to go in detail
but I just animated a picture of an orange to pop up
then drop to the bottom of the screen while rolling to the corner
where we will pour out the orange juice.
And to give it something extra, I also shrank the orange and made it more brownish
because it's losing its liquid.
And that's it for the first Zach King editing magic trick.

Next up is stealing stuff
throughout a computer screen
and thinking about that, what would you steal if you had the possibility to steal through a computer screen?
I would steal a monitor .
The new LG Ultrawide monitor because
let's admit who can resist that beautiful monitor?
It works on the Nano IPS Technology bringing the best of two worlds together.
On one end you get great color accuracy which makes it perfect for every graphical task.
And what that does is absorbing spill light to realize a richer and more accurate image.
But at the same time it's also great for gaming with their 144Hz refresh rate
and one millisecond respond time.
And it's also Nvidia g-sync and AM D freesync compatible.
Huh,
beautiful!
Okay Yannick., stop being so in love!
Again fire up Premiere Pro.
Alright mateys, let's have a look at the footage that we need.
And this time we need two shots.
Of course on a tripod.
One empty clean plate with our monitor and the glass of orange juice we are stealing and one of the actor.
But this shot needs something special.
First, we made an outline stencil of the LG monitor, which we are going to use as a reference for our actor
So for the actor shot we are going to remove the monitor and replace it with our stencil.
Then let your actors sit behind the desk and the stencil.
And now the actor can start grabbing the orange juice through the stencil.
Once you have that place the two clips in Premiere Pro.
The empty clip must be on the bottom and the actor clip on top.
The next step will be some masking.
So select the actor clip and here we can create a mask around his arm.
Because the stencil casts a shadow on the actor's arm we have a reference for the mask.
Now mask the arm out for the entire length of the clip
and once you grab the orange juice you can include that in your mask.
Oh, yeah, if you don't want to do the brainless masking
"Uhhhhhhhhhh"
You can always rotoscope your arm with the new roto brush from After Effects
You'll find a link with more information in the description below.
Now, very important
we are going to cover up the glass of the orange juice from the empty shot
otherwise, we are cloning and not stealing.
And one last thing add a displacement or distort effect to your likings to the monitor.
We use the prism displacement from red giant
but this can be any distort effect you want.
And normally that will leave you with this, super easy!
♪
The last effect guys which is actually pretty sad,
however, it's going to be a cool one.
We are going to crawl through a monitor from one scene to another.
And with our new LG monitor this is going to be a walk in the park.
The 38 inch 21:9 aspect ratio at a quad hd resolution gives us a huge working field.
So Jordy will have enough room to crawl through
but besides that the monitor also gives enough room to multitask on,
expanding your workspace,
which I really like while editing because my timeline can never be big enough.
For this effect we are only going to explain the crawling out of the screen
as crawling in is exactly the same but in reverse.
Now, let's fire up Premiere Pro for the last time.
Again, we already have our footage ready, but let me show you what you need.
First, we need an empty shot of the monitor from a tripod
and then the second shot is going to be a green screenshot from the same tripod.
Once you have your empty shot you can remove the monitor from the desk
and make sure that the desk stays exactly in the same place.
So we took a green screen stencil and placed it where the monitor was.
This way your actor knows where to crawl
then take out the green screen and place it behind the desk.
Now last, place the table behind your desk so the actor has something to crawl on.
If needed you can also place a green screen on top of that.
And then, just take your shot.
That's it!
Now in Premiere Pro it's quite easy.
Place your empty shot on the bottom layer and your green screenshot on top.
Now, just key out the green, draw a mask here and there and
Badabim-Badaboom
They match perfectly!

Hmmnn...
That's good!

Cookies!
And now it's time for
Yannicks
Fun
Fact
FOOUUNTAAAAAAIIIN!
I recently found out that I'm older than Zach King.
Exactly one month.
But did you know that Zach King made videos right from the start?
At age 7 he was already filming his sisters.
But from age 14, he really got serious
and bought himself a proper camera and a Macbook.
Then four years later in 2008
he started his own website called finalcutking.com
where he made tutorials for Final Cut.
And from there on out he grew into the magical editor he is now.
He is a real inspiration for us all.
But that was it for this week guys!
I hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you LG for the support and the super awesome ultrawide monitor!
And as always
Stay creative!
The sad part about fridays is that we always need to clean up the studio after the shoot.
Have you guys seen my cactus?
Is it called cactus in english? I think so...
This is a very special cactus.
It's pretty tall.
And it's quite ugly.
No idea why I keep this...
