has filmmaking really evolved into a
vertical porn my answer is no but I feel
that vertical filmmaking is its own
genre it's a revolution in some ways yes
that sounds dramatic but doesn't
everything that's new gets scrutinized
first if you're lucky enough an open
line nap can lead a prosperity later
it's time to learn how to version
[Music]
hi salutations everybody and welcome
back to you my channel if you're new
here I'm a social media content producer
that has dedicated this channel to
support your video quality if that's
something that interests you I would
totally think about subscribing so who's
ready for another video series well I'm
gonna make one anyway so welcome one and
all to this video series in which I am
calling how to make a great IG TV video
and for those who are new to the channel
I am a vertical filmmaker i market
myself as a vertical filmmaker so the
types of videos you're watching on IG TV
right now I've been making stuff like
that for almost two years now and yeah I
was totally that weirdo who was shooting
things vertically and while I am making
this video series because it was
requested by a couple people I'm
actually really making this video series
because I have been gaining very good
attention on IG TV and I want to share
with you how you're able to do the same
IG TV is still new however there is a
tension there I don't have more than
5,000 followers and I have over 80,000
views on IG TV right now so let me go
ahead and break down this video series
in three parts so when I say three-part
video series the first part is about
gear the second part is about how to
shoot vertical video and the third part
is to well how to edit it so keep that
in mind so how much gear do you really
need I promise you don't need this much
but let's just get into it and this
information is simply for you not to buy
all this because you do not need all
this I'm just gonna provide all the info
and you can dissect it from there first
let's talk about cameras there are three
types of cameras that I would recommend
for vertical filmmaking and one of them
I use on the daily which is the Canon M
50 this is canons first 4k mirrorless
camera and it is awesome the 4k ability
is great for detail shots and the kit
lens that it comes with it is at 15 to
45 so you're able to have a 15 to 18
millimeter look kind of what you're
looking at right now actually it's
exactly what you're looking at right now
however since it is a mirrorless camera
you do have a crop sensor which means it
will give you a zoom frame at 4k
also gives you 60 P which is awesome for
your cinematic slow-mo and so on and so
forth you even have 120 P at 720 HD
which is pretty cool the best part about
that is you can totally get away with
that on IG TV I would not recommend it
for YouTube though because it does get
grainy and the last thing is it's super
affordable right now I actually paid
full price for it and like it's 300 RS
cheaper now yay
moving on to camera number two the Canon
m5 is another very popular vertical
video camera and the reason being is it
has a tilt LCD which means you kind of
are able to see it vertically so you get
your full frame shot vertically from
your LCD it holds the majority of the
features of Canon m50 has it does have
better autofocus it gives you a better
sensor and it is a little bit pricier
and the third is a very popular youtube
camera I'm pretty sure some of you are
watching this habit right now and that
is the canon g7x the craziest part about
this particular camera it is a digital
camera but it doesn't act like a digital
camera it doesn't shoot 4k but it gives
you 60 P or 50 P depending on what
version you have and the craziest part
about this camera is it has an internal
mic that is absolutely bananas
it's insane DSLR cameras mirrorless
cameras do not specially digital cameras
do not have a reputation for good mics
the great part about that camera as well
is it's also super affordable like the
m50 and they're pretty much around the
same price point oh and it has it tilted
LCD is what all those cameras will link
down below so you can check those out
for yourselves now let's move on
vertical video creation pretty much
evolved from the smartphone and it's not
a bad thing to shoot with the smartphone
so Robarts the cameras on your phone my
recommendation anything that has 12
megapixels is ideal those are usually
the cameras with 4k just make sure
you're shooting in well-lit situations
whether it's studio lighting or outside
with nice sunlight if you're in a low
light situation you're gonna
automatically get grain and your
resolutions not gonna look the greatest
it's not a good look now let's talk
about this guy so this is the Jobi motor
a gorilla pod and it is designed for
smartphone filmmaking vertical
filmmaking even because whoa you can see
here vertical horizontal this truck
YouTube let me quickly say that I've
already made a video about the mobile
ring and once I show you several tips
and how I use it and how I rigged it up
for a certain type of production style
I would totally check that video out
I'll link it right here and it will be
in the description so I'm not gonna get
too much into that what I will say is
this is a full-on production you're able
to add a life let's not forget about the
phone a mic as well and another iPhone
well why definitely the first real solid
choice especially if you're shooting
with smart phones moving on next we have
the UFO photo Pro 2 which I just did a
video on and I compare it to the Joby
Gorillapod this is also really awesome
mainly because its grip is absolutely
spectacular it's better than any grip
that I've ever seen on action tripod so
how do you use this guy well I mean
pretty simple pop it into the mount and
yeah you're ready to go I mainly use
this for lockdown shots when I wrap it
on things so let's say I'm a tree I'll
just wrap it and then I get that
particular shot another really handy one
definitely a good one move it on to the
Joby grip sight another pot now this
looks pretty cool because you can
theoretically use it like a real jovi
gorilla but it's just a little weird on
the ankle but I mean you still get a
really good shot the distance is good
and your reach really good as well the
best way to use this one honestly is
when you're an indoor situation and we
need to get interior shot and you have
like metal objects around well I threw
this shop for instance you're probably
wondering how I got this really cool
magical looking shot inside of my dirty
kitchen
well still good secondary side care my
cure with the magic the next one is
probably one of my favorites besides the
mobile ring and that is the zion smooth
q gimbal it's a 3 axis gimbal that
obviously as you can see stabilizes your
smartphone footage which is totally
needed because smartphone stabilization
is horrendous the only reason
this isn't my main tool for shooting
critical video with the phone is because
it doesn't give you the option to use
external audio I don't have anywhere I
can put a mic like anywhere there is an
external adapter that I've seen it's
third-party that may consider doing that
but from its generic design it doesn't
give you the option for external audio
which stinks but regardless this is the
best b-roll machine you can ever have
with shooting with a smartphone so keep
that in mind and as you can see here in
this example compared to the other
examples with this particular shot
totally work the investment on this one
highly recommend you've seen what
gorilla pots can do for smartphones what
about from here that's cameras and DSLRs
when it comes to vertical filmmaking
you're used to seeing the you know the
nice that look where you have your Joby
tripod your mic and obviously your
camera that is shooting horizontally how
do you do that with vertical video
alright peeps let's talk about how to
shoot vertical video with a Joby
Gorillapod now this thing is not
designed for vertical video so number
one you need to keep that in mind but
what you're able to do is take advantage
of this amazing ball head the reason why
is you have such a great 180 degree tilt
what I think it's 180 right you have a
great tail and that's exactly how I set
it up so I start by bending it you know
kind of like you probably are doing
today
and then place my m50 right on it and
then I get a good angle here and make
sure you tighten it down for the love of
God make sure you tighten the doubt I
can't tell you how many times I've been
like salutations and it just went it
tightened down please so boom I got that
here flip your LCD up like that and
you're good to go to shoot vertical
video but let's talk about Mike's real
quick
the rode videomicro is the best mic for
any type of vertical film situation the
reason why I say that is because you'll
find yourself using both your phone and
your DSLR or mirrorless camera for
vertical filmmaking it's just a given
but the reason why the video micro is
the best mic is because you're able to
use it for your smartphone and your
mirrorless camera DSLR whichever one you
use now don't get into it it's not that
easy unfortunately if the video micro
does come with your regular TRS cable
which does connect to your camera and
allows for audio output as you can see
here this has the
- ring ox whereas a trrs that guy has
well 3 but the cool part with both of
these is I mean you know unplug it and
just plug the other one in and well now
you're good to go for the smartphone
highly recommend super affordable link
down below so you can check it out here
you go this is my main vertical setup
one more quick pro tip with the gorilla
pod do your best to try to lay it flat
just because you can probably tell it's
lopsided so you don't really get good
balance and it usually just tips over a
lot as long as you get flat like this
like this right here you will be in good
shape so that's how you vert with a
gorilla pod pS vert stands for vertical
filmmaking
it's my little hashtag thing that's like
we're so keep in mind everything that
we're talking about is linked down below
