In this BTS video I talk about how this project happened, how we filmed it, the gear we used and I’m also going to discuss the post production phase as well as the challenges we encountered during production.
This is the first of 2 videos and this one will focus on the behind the scenes and the second one will be a cinematography breakdown of the main scenes.
Hopefully you found this video interesting.
And by the way thank you so much for the positive feedback on the documentary it really means a lot!
Let me know if you have any more questions and stay tuned for the cinematography breakdown.
Cheers,
Flo

This is the Behind the Scenes of my latest documentary : The 90 Year Old Cyclist. Cinematography breakdown coming soon! Cheers, Flo

[@alex-botton]

Oh man what a pleasure that was to watch and relive such a fun and rewarding shoot. I’m so honored by the way you spoke about me and privileged to have been such a big part of such a great project ❤❤❤ I got a little emotional seeing Benjamin and the family for his birthday - a family I felt like I was a part of for a small week. I can’t wait for the next one, hopefully soon! Thanks again for having me and thanks for being such a big supporter of mine and pushing my work too, you’re so generous ❤

[@OfTwoLands]

Of course my man, like I said I would have not been able to do this without you ❤ Spending a week there should be a yearly thing :) Thanks again for your help and talent and cannot wait to work together again!! Also, looking forward to see you grow on KZbin!!

[@pilgrimheart]

I enjoyed this and the doc. And regardless of people having a short attention span I think it was refreshing to sit down relax and not watch a video with a ton of jump cuts. It was a good story. I wonder - maybe consider the hour long version - what I mean by that is considered doing the previous documentary and mixing it with this one and turning it into basically something you aim to share with the likes of Netflix. They’re looking for inspiring stories.

[@CineMilledUSA]

amazing work by everyone involved!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much ☺️🙏

[@OurStory.Ourlife]

Bravo 👏 Fantastic insight and very well put together. Now I’m off to watch the documentary.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much!!

[@ryotaabe4220]

Great!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you!!

[@nickrodis6862]

Salamat po

[@pilgrimheart]

25:07 woah! You need to release the bts doc man - you filmed yourselves talking like this? Yes you need to

[@REMY.C.]

That - got it - got it Shows so much professionalism and trust in each other.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for noticing! We really did our best to function as a proper crew, especially when dealing with expensive gear haha!

[@madebyams]

I loved watching these behind the scenes! Bloopers are the best 😂

[@OfTwoLands]

Haha thank you!! Hoping we get to do more :)

[@peteralessandriaphotography]

Great! 👌

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks :) !!

[@dpixvid]

I got to bike in the southern Cevennes region in Le Gard(Le Vigan) a few years ago... mostly in the mountains. It was so beautiful! I miss it. Your doc reminds me of my cycling in France. Great story and chance to share your grandfather’s story!

[@OfTwoLands]

France is such a great for cycling! Thanks for watching :)

[@topicruben]

Thank you so much for taking us over all the process of this fantastic project, Flo. It is a beautiful gift to your grandad, indeed. Cheers!

[@OfTwoLands]

Really glad you enjoyed the behind the scenes mate!! Thanks for watching as always :)

[@simpleObserver100]

Soo good man!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you!!

[@idletimeproductions4956]

Thank you so much for this. I just finished my first experience as a DP on a short film. I found working with a team challenging at first since I'm use to working alone but we got better as the project progressed. I appreciate your detailed description of each part of the film making process.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank You for taking the time to watch it!! Glad you enjoyed the video and congrats on your first DP role :)

[@REMY.C.]

This BTS analysis is awesome. Loved every bit of it.

[@OfTwoLands]

Really glad you did, thank you!!

[@velorider638]

Congratulations on a beautiful project about your grandfather. Excellent explanation about the whole process. I am sure it was extremely helpful to those in the video/photo industry.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed this BTS :)

[@mccoyliao]

Learned so much from this behind the scenes vid, big thanks!

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!

[@tarekstatico]

So awesome you guys pulled of such a high quality production with a small team. Very good BTS. Can’t wait to see the cinematography breakdown and lighting tips! Love nanlight and the curious how you guys used the Matthew flag!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it!! The breakdown will be out within the next 10 days :)

[@Sebastian-vu1pu]

What an inspiration and great work on your side 👏

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!

[@ClementHodgkinson]

Such a great project with you mate, already looking forward to what we create next in 2024!

[@OfTwoLands]

100% mate, was a lot of fun and super happy with the results! Thanks again for being a part of this one 🙏 Can’t wait for 2024 🎥👊

[@MaxsWorkshop]

Thank you for this great video 🙏🏼 you’re really an asset for the KZbin filmmaking scene

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback 🙏🎥

[@LennonMapes]

Really spectacular. Thank you for making the BTS videos for this documentary! I’m making a biking film in the next month so this is giving me great inspiration.

[@OfTwoLands]

So glad to read this! Thanks for watching and good luck with the shoot ☺️🎥

[@jjasef]

Beautiful!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks!!

[@Emiliobo]

Great behind the scene breakdown! This is really what doc filmmaking should be

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you liked it, thanks a lot for taking the time to watch it!!

[@visualcube8365]

great team work; funny at first i had the impression that the project was done entirely by you which is a lot but you do have professional/relax technique of capturing every detail in variety of angels. i do also own Bmpcc4k and sometimes i do deal with reliability issues but i’m glad there are more filmmakers using similar system.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you!! 10 years ago I was on my own but the way I wanted to do it this time meant I needed a small crew and I am glad we actually made it :)

[@8KHDRVideoBySittipong]

It was a very nice short film. Very impressive.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much!!

[@robertoposa1120]

Great work congratulations - watched that video many times - where is this beautiful region in France

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for watching!! It is the South West, near Toulouse :)

[@bendenisereedy7865]

I've just attended the funeral of a man who would have been 100 next June. Like your grandfather he was a much-loved and charming man who had lived a fascinating life. I worry though that in Britain we are no longer producing people of this quality and calibre as our international boundaries shrink and we become increasingly selfish and introspective. Social media are supplying false friends and we no longer need to meet or cherish people.

[@UncoloredSith]

Lovely work again bro! - no chance you'd be able to give us more of a breakdown on how the gimbal was rigged up ? Find it hard to find the right minimalistic gimbal setup for my BMPCC6kPRO while still having record capacity and battery.. any ideas from ya'll would be mean

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you!! So we had the Ronin RS3 Pro, and we could control the focus and gimbal using the DJI handle and motor from the expansion base kit if I remember correctly . We had a long cable to from the rig to my smallhd to monitor. We use internal batteries and NDs to reduce weight. 2 People to operate too. Hope this helps!

[@ThomasTeissier]

Très interessant ce behind the scenes ! Merci pour le partage d'expérience 🙌

[@OfTwoLands]

Merci d’avoir regardé Thomas! J’espère qu’on arrivera à se voir bientôt ☺️👊

[@ThomasTeissier]

@@OfTwoLands Pareil !! 🙌

[@Lefute79]

Très intéressant, pertinent et inspirant. Merci

[@OfTwoLands]

Merci pour ce retour positif et pour avoir pris le temps de regarder ☺️🙏

[@JimMakosCom]

I could watch even if this was double the duration. Both the doc and the BTS! Thank you, this has been very helpful. Do you edit the scenes in chunks and combine them in the end, or are you working on the final timeline right from the start?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for the positive feedback!! Are you asking for the doco or BTS? For the doco I edited in scenes and sequences than assembled, for the BTS it is much more linear.

[@JimMakosCom]

@@OfTwoLands haha yes I meant for the doc! I appreciate the tip for the BTS but I need to shoot the doc first to have BTS! 🤪 Will the cinematography breakdown of the interview be on your channel?

[@johngormley1920]

Well done. Did you shoot in braw and how did you color grade? Did you use a lut?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks!! BRAW and I graded using Filmconvert. I will talk about this more in depth in the cinematography breakdown :)

[@johngormley1920]

When will that be?

[@thurr_bggn]

C’est terrible de voir ce qu’on peut faire en petite équipe avec quelques moyens quand même 😅 Petite question : pourquoi ne pas stabiliser en post prod la majorité des b-rolls ? Je sais que ça crop et détruit parfois l’image, c’est un choix mais dans une idée de fluidité parfois les tremblements peuvent gêner

[@OfTwoLands]

Haha c'est un compliment j'espere! Est ce que tu parles des B Rolls pour le doco ou BTS?

[@thurr_bggn]

⁠​⁠@@OfTwoLandspour le bts comme le docu, tu as des plans très fluides et d’un coup certains ne sont pas stabilisés mais c’est une bête question esthétique , j’adore le doc et le boulot que vous avez faits est incroyable !

[@FlavourTV]

Please you make tutorial colorgrading you video or you breakdown you coloring this video

[@OfTwoLands]

The cinematography breakdown is coming today :) I always grade the same way with Filmconvert and I made a video last year about my process so feel free to watch it!

[@ENJOY97]

Why did you not use the Blackmagic 6K Full Frame? THANK YOU

[@OfTwoLands]

This was shot in July so the camera wasn’t released yet ☺️

[@ENJOY97]

@@OfTwoLands thank you for getting back to me

[@pilgrimheart]

You going to NAB?

[@OfTwoLands]

I wish haha!
