In today's tip trick juice a video I'll go over 12 creative gimbal moves that
will make your video production to a higher level if you like my intro I'm
actually giving away a free premium intro template for off your Effects and
Premiere Pro that is very similar to my intro but just a touch shorter we'll put
a link in the description below so you can go and check that out it's entirely
for free hey what's up ladies and gentlemen my name is ignace aleya and today
we're gonna check out well if created demo moves we'll start
with the basic ones and end with a combination of different moves the first
move to use is the parallax move here you can separate your subject from the
background you can do this by having a foreground element passing close to the
camera such as walls white post bushes just things that pass in front of your
camera and have something in the background as a focus element that way
you create some kind of parallax effect because both items actually move at a
different speed and create a very dynamic shot for the next shot this type
of movement you can also create a slider kind of motion effect using the lock
function on your gimbal just like this another basic move is to push in or pull
out as you might have guessed by the name you simply go closer or farther
away from your subject you can compare this type of movement to a dolly shot
but if you don't have a dolly or a slider a gimbal is a perfect way to
replace that kind of movement sometimes even better because you're not locked to
a kind of track or to a specific kind of motion and you don't need to set up your
dolly or your slider all the time you just take your gimbal and do your shot
the only thing here is that you really are careful with the movements of your
feet try to keep your body from moving up and down and you can do this by using
a special kind of filmmakers walk I actually covered this walk in a previous
video on the review of this gimbal which you can check out with link in the
description below before we continue this video I would
like to talk about Lane Carter they made this video possible the gimbal used in
this video is the fayette tech a 2000 which actually comes from liang carta
line carla is a website for high-end and professional filmmaking gear they have a
bunch to offer so definitely check out our website
with a link in the description below the next job is similar to the previous move
but here you keep the camera close to the ground and by doing so you can
create a very dynamic looking shot of the ground whizzing past the camera a
wide-angle lens is recommended for this type of shots because it makes it a lot
more epic and you have a much bigger field of view in the next movie reveal
your subject by moving up from the bottom to the top from a person stove's
to his head but you don't want to tilt the camera in this move then a next move
is a combination of a pushin and a low angle shock you can start by holding the
camera close to the ground and then move to ward your subject while at the same
time tilting your camera up revealing what's in front of the camera you can
create a very dramatic kind of shot using this technique another one is
while you tilt up the camera and the ground up movement you tilt down the
camera and a Skyfall movement so basically the opposite movement of the
ground up if you don't have a jib or crane then fear not you can easily
recreate such movements by using your gimbal and your whole body and even if
you have a jib or crane it takes so much space it takes a lot of time to set up
and I just prefer doing it with my gumbo you simply start by bending through your
knees while holding your gimbal low to the ground and slowly rise yourself up
together with the gimbal until you can't go any higher it's also possible to add
some parallax effects by including a foreground element in your shop also a
nice way is to actually move a little bit closer to your subject because a jib
actually comes a little bit closer while it's tilting up and this really makes it
very dynamic and more difficult movement is the orbit movement here you
essentially orbit around your subject creating a special and dynamic shot it's
very comparable to a drone orbit shot but on a drone you can actually do it
automatically it's computer oriented so it will do a perfect half circle but
here you have to do it manually you can combine this shot using a ground up or
if toe to head movement starting low to the ground and then slowly start to rise
your camera while also circling around your subject to orbit your camera with
the gimbal you need a couple of tries it won't be perfect from the first time
it's really hard to manually blew off a perfect half circle at a perfect speed
but it's really worth trying out because you can do a kind of three
the movement around its subject the next move depends on the capabilities of your
gimbal you need to be able to control the roll axis manually for this effect
to work you can start by rolling the camera to one roll direction and then
slowly rotate it to the other direction it's best combined when you do a push in
or pull out movement to add some dynamic effect to the shot this is really cool
to use in music videos or some kind of dramatic kind of science-fiction movies
it's a really really fun style to work with because you essentially rotate your
canvas while moving closer to your subject you see this a ton of times
nowadays and music videos another basic move here is simply track your subject
either in front back or side it's important to maintain a steady level
because otherwise you might notice the up-and-down movement of your gimbal
because the gimbal doesn't actually stabilize the up-and-down movement so
exactly like I mentioned before you need to work on your walking you don't always
have to move your gimbal yourself by placing the gimbal on a stabilizer or a
tripod you can easily create smooth pan or tilt shots you can either use a
joystick but if your gimbal has one such as this one you can use their app with
my app I can actually change the movement and create a very interesting
shot because if you're working with a tripod shot and you manually rotate your
tripod either your movement isn't perfect because your tripod might not be
able to smoothly create pan or tell shots a lot of tripods actually stutter
while you're actually moving them so this gimbal allows you to do perfect
constant speed rotations and you can also get a little bit more creative like
you start on the bottom low and yet you rotate to the right and slowly go up
it's a very smooth and very cinematic shot if done correctly but again it's
very hard to recreate manually so that's where this gimbal comes in very handy
also if you are a one-man band you can use this technique you actually follow
yourself while you pass through the camera using your app you can hide the
app by your side and do some practice or even keep it in your pocket it's really
fun way to experiment with camera movements if you're all alone and nobody
is there to film you you can actually make the audience feel like you have a
second man helping you up all right with the next movement you can create some
really interesting shots you can move through windows through doors creating a
kind of one-shot effect and as you can see we combined two moves into one page
and I know the camera settings weren't perfect but it was actually really hard
to pull off because it was a very bright day and the car shot was rather dark so
we could have used artificial lights in the car
but as this was just a test for the capabilities of this gimbal and no
professional project we didn't go through all the hassle to create this we
just wanted to show you the possibilities of this gimbal and
honestly it looks very cool we start with a tracking shop followed by a
pass-through shot through the car window then there is another pass through
followed by another tracking shot you can see that there are some flaws but
this was merely a demonstration of what is possible so basically how we did this
shot we need a three camera man and one driver so we needed kind of a little
crew to do this to pull off this effect but if you're very hardcore maybe you
could have pulled off this effect with only two people so first of all you have
a cameraman filming the car coming closer and then coming closer to the car
window giving the gimbal to another cameraman inside of the car
hiding in the passenger seat we actually lowered the seat so you wouldn't be able
to see him he takes over the camera film Z driver until he stops then the driver
opens up the door and the cameraman actually pulls out the camera through
the door and then someone else comes in in this case it was me who is coming and
taking that camera and then followed the actor until he's at his door I actually
tried to hide behind the camera while I was doing this shot and then come closer
when the car was almost going to stop we were actually pretty proud of this shot
because we didn't need much practice and as I mentioned earlier some moves can be
combined to create an interesting and special shot they might require some
practice at first but you should be able to do most of them without too much
effort one of my personal favorites is the ground up orbit where you start
close to the ground and slowly go up while orbiting around your subject and
folks you can use some time remapping to really create a dynamic shot because
sometimes a one shot movement takes a little bit too long and you want your
audience's attention so there you can just change it up a little bit by using
some time remapping I actually have a tutorial on that if you don't know how
to do that we'll put a cart on this video right here I think so too
inclusion as you have seen there are a lot of possibilities for gimbal moves
and each of those individual moves can be combined to create much more complex
and dynamic looking shots more importantly you're free to choose which
moves you want to use and combine the possibilities are literally endless and
above all smooth gimmel shots always look very cool they give your videos a
very professional look because one of the biggest mistakes from starting
cameraman is that they actually have too much shake in their footage gimbal
actually phases entirely on the table now that you know all these moves try to
implement these moves in your videos and also try to think why you are using
these movements because every single movement actually tells a story more on
that in my other video all right so I hope you enjoyed this video if you did
