all right guys so we have made it out to kind of the middle of nowhere which is a good place to be
when you want to shoot some photos so obviously you can see here there's a pretty nice lane i
think i'll try and get the car parked up in the middle it's very quiet here so it's kind of like
an industrial place where i guess people aren't around right now so we'll try and do some photos
here and then i'll try and go find a little space where i can show you guys how i shoot some video i
don't know if you guys want a quick walk around of the car but this is the 2020 audi s5 coupe
it's pretty gorgeous and it's pretty fun it's always good i find when i'm shooting a new
vehicle to actually do a walk around and you can start to find lines really quick like obviously
you can see kind of the way that the curves land on the cars how the light reflects off each car
differently than the other ones as you can see there's lines kind of forming on the hood there
so really aggressive grill on this one all right so for gear i am using the canon r5 we've got
this cool little rfdf adapter thing on there i've got my favorite lens the sigma 35 f 1.4
we've got some amazon adapter rings because i've got these nissi global filters depending
on the light i don't know if i'll actually need an nd filter but typically i would highly suggest
getting yourself an nd filter and you don't always need one of these but this makes for
a pretty sweet slick cinematic footage so i'm going to try and mount this onto the ronin and
i'll show you guys some of my favorite moves as we go along here we're going to turn the iso to otto
so that it doesn't ever get too dark hopefully we'll see we'll see what happens you know
yeah i'm going to shoot in 60 frames per second so we're doubling our frame rate so our shutter
speed is going to be at 1 over 125 our aperture we're going to kind of fiddle with hopefully we'll
keep it low-ish around 2 2 aperture and our iso will only increase if the light goes away
so let me strap the gopro on and we'll go from here this thing is definitely super awkward so
i hope you guys know i love you this is all for you boys so uncomfortable
the lights turning out to be really nice though so we got this little gopro on you can see you
guys there you're hanging out on the other side all right so i'm going to show you guys a few of
my favorite moves as well as when to use 24 frames per second when to use 60 frames per second and if
you have access to 120 frames per second you can i usually recommend 120 frames per second to be
saved for kind of handheld stuff because it helps you kind of keep it smoother
if you've got something like a gimbal then it's not so bad to um keep it at 60 frames per second
still pretty smooth pretty nice so let's uh shoot some b-roll so one of my favorite shots
is the pull-away or even what it ends up being is that we're actually going to pan the road first
and then this is going to be like our entry shot to the car but the best way to do it is
actually just start on the car so that you know your framing is going to be perfect
then you hit record and then i hold the trigger on the ronin and i pull back and do a downturn
this way you'll have perfect framing when you get back up to the car you'll notice if you do it the
opposite way you sometimes don't always nail it so although i did a pretty good job there
so there we go that's our entry shot
so another one of my favorites
is the rim shot and we're going to start here on the rim and we're going to kind of do a pull away
and turn and again we're going to reverse this shot so that in post starts here
and then we'll probably do a quick quick transition to get to there
so let's focus on some details here so a little bit of iso here
hopefully you guys can see that okay we're just going to grab some details
and just go side to side oh yeah you want to avoid your reflection as much as you can
going side to side here now the good thing about the side to side movement is that
it kind of looks boring right now when i do it but in post and i should probably
make a follow-up episode to this one in post we're actually going to do a cool
effect that makes it look not as boring so side to sides are a really good one even
if you don't have a gimbal just do some handheld kind of panning back and forth
looks really good so i don't know if you guys can see here i got zebra bars on so zebra bars
show me when something is overexposed or totally gone so we're gonna use our aperture a little bit
up to 3.2 just to make sure we've got everything in frame let's go back and get kind of a wider
shot we're gonna do that we can even maybe lock the focus and then do a transition up like this
the reason we can do that is that we know we can whip to it or something and let's see if
i just walk along the side here how smooth we can get it this is pretty not smooth over here
so these pan movements are really great because you can always add some stuff in post
another one of my favorite shots is
at the rear and i like to get really low on the rear diffusers here
hit record and then as we move up you kind of push up on the gimbal a little bit and it makes
the rear of the car look really mean really big well i've got some mad reflection here so there's
not much i can do on this one but maybe we'll just center that car up as best as we can in our frame
do a little push and maybe in post they won't notice okay more details lock focus
and just come across the emblem nice and easy nothing overly complicated there now what i'm
hoping to get here out of this edit is really kind of like a 15 to 30 second nothing crazy
just something that maybe a dealership can use to showcase their car okay so we've got
the outsides i don't know if you guys can see on the screen now but it's actually flickering
so we're going to try and adjust our shutter speed a little bit to see if we can get rid of that
flickering at all and if not that's when we might switch to 24 frames
per second and see if that gets rid of the flicker oh sorry man okay thank you so much
sorry for the inconvenience cheers all right
so switched our camera over to 24 frames per second and focus on the steering wheel start
where you want the frame and then pull back in reverse and then we can reverse the shot and post
much easier you know your framing is going to be great at the end let's do a push
hold the trigger and we're just doing a pan down and then do a pull away here
and because we're back out i'm actually going to switch back to 60 frames per second
this gives me more to work with in post i find it's a little easier to work with
there you go and hopefully that'll stay locked on for me so i can do a couple little moves here
real nice oh yeah let's throw you guys down i forgot about you i'm so sorry i'm
so sorry i forgot about you then i left you in the dirt one thing you always got to do
to make sure that whatever's on the system that you don't want there it's gone and here
we can actually accentuate that screen so let's actually do a bit of a pull on that
see that's what's such a beauty about the r5
you just tap on what you want it to focus on it just locks it's amazing
come on cannon i know i was a sony guy i'm sorry but i uh i really like
really like the canon it's a lot of work being out here so yeah i hope that you found this helpful
um both of kind of how i approach the vehicle with the ronin with my settings uh work hard
stay safe and i hope you enjoyed this guys all right now here's the best part about
