- Right, dudes, do you want to see something
that I've created, edited, and filmed all on my own?
Take a look at this.
(upbeat music)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, wait, wait wait.
I can't give it all away.
First things first, I'm going to show you how to edit
and create that edit.
What camera do you need to use?
Do I need the most expensive one?
No.
Do I need to have loads of stuff?
No, not really.
All you need to have is just this.
There you go.
This is the basics you need.
I'm not saying you need three cameras,
I'm giving you examples.
If you have a mobile phone, this is the best thing you
can capture movie with because everyone has one of these
in their back pocket and the camera quality is amazing.
So, and if you don't want to use your mobile phone
and you've got a GoPro, this is pretty good because
it's super durable.
You can throw them around, the wide angle to get those
nice, big, wide shots.
Camera, this is also a good one because
these are pretty good.
You can go up to like, 4K in these little guys.
But this one here is 1080p and it's a great way
of capturing good quality video.
This next one is definitely a must.
This is the tripod.
This one's pretty cool because you can wrap its
little legs around a tree.
Because it's such a small one you can find a tree
and just stick it to the tree and capture a high shot.
Power bank.
You're never gonna have enough power in your mobile phone,
or your GoPro, or your camera to last you a whole
day of riding and filming because..
Whilst that is charging, like I said, you can never
have enough battery power.
This is going to give you the ability to prolong
your filming out there on the trails.
(upbeat music)
Right, you want to make that edit really interesting,
so you need a rad storyline.
It doesn't have to be super complicated.
It could be just a story of you going to your local trail
and shredding your trail.
For me, I've got a rad, rad way of introducing
my little video.
Let me put my helmet on and I'll be
back out there in a bit, alright?
Where you gone?
Wait, where is he?
Bike!
Filming yourself takes ages because you've got
to think about where you want to put your camera.
Like, I got three rollers here but I want to double one
and then try and manual into the other.
It takes time but it's all worth it.
I set this up.
Hopefully, I'll get the whole thing in one.
(gentle music)
(tyres spinning)
Right, framing is key when filming on your own
because you don't really want to have the rider constantly
in the middle of frame because it's kind of boring.
You want to show them a story.
Like, for instance, on this berm right here, the berm
is on the top left of the screen and then it goes through
and then the exit of the whole trail is out
on the right of frame if you're looking at it.
It's called rule of thirds.
Photographers use it because it's pretty cool.
All this running around takes ages but it is worth it.
Stick to it.
I'm using one camera, I'm gonna scrub this jump.
Alright, so far it's taken one, two, three, four
movements of the camera to capture one obstacle.
I might shoot this twice because this dirt..
(gentle music)
For our little pro tip here: Don't film in the dark.
If you can help it, don't film in the dark.
So move out into the open.
I've got a place right here.
There you go.
I'm going to jump that into manual
all the way to the next jump.
And I'm going to get a good, crisp image
because it's lighter out here.
(gentle music)
I'm going to make a funky head mount to capture
some rad angles.
Spice up the edit a little bit, that's what it needs.
Oh, that was a good cup of tea.
Chez Nan, she makes the best tea.
Right, I've got four tips on how to make you
bang your head in.
Number one, I'm going to start off with:
Be super brutal with your footage.
You don't want to have a minute POV
'cause that's pretty boring and they got to chop it up,
stick little bits in there.
It makes it way more better and more interesting.
Number two, storyline.
Make sure you've got a good storyline or theme.
It makes the whole thing a little bit more interesting
instead of right, you're there, you're there,
you're there, you're there.
Make it flowy through the whole edit.
Bike!
Right, number three, is audio.
Make sure the sound of the edit sounds great.
You don't want to have soft noises.
If you're having a raw edit you want to hear
the bike noises.
You want to hear the dust, the dirt,
the wheels on the ground.
But if you have music you don't want to
have it too loud and peaking over everything.
And if you're talking make sure you
can hear yourself chatting.
Number four, is feedback.
If you've uploaded your edit to YouTube or Facebook,
comments will come flooding in.
Use that as positivity because it's going to help you
further your editing skills for the next edit.
But yet I've got like, one more thing to do to my edit.
Done.
Take a look at my edit.
Ah, dude, I can't wait to ride.
Ahh!
You excited?
Yeah, I know, I know I'm excited as well.
Let me put my helmet on and I'll be back out
there in a bit, alright?
Where you gone?
Wait, wait.
Where's he gone?
Where is he?
Bike!
Where's my bike?
(tyres spinning)
Ha ha ha, there you are.
Come here!
(energetic music)
(light skidding)
(energetic music)
Yeah!
Well, what did you think?
Pretty rad, huh?
But, yes, you, if you're going to give me
a negative comment, I'm going to use that as positivity
and I'm going to create something else for you guys
later on.
