[@NgaiNing]

love how every clip, transition, sound design etc, has its purpose to it. im still learning how to add these in my work flow

[@petersarellas]

Appreciate the compliment! Keep on working hard 👊

[@Sweet_Productions]

​​you should def do a break down like this with some sports content

[@petersarellas]

I did one recently here that you can check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2jWZXiijcmtj7s and I definitely intend on doing more videos in this format, including some with sports-specific content, here as well!

[@rodcarter8828]

Yeah this was dope. I’d love a deeper dive into the shutter speeds, iso, ND filters, gimbles, picture profiles, etc. that you used/ use when shooting outside.

[@petersarellas]

That can definitely happen! To give you a bit of an idea of what you asked in this comment, I shot almost everything at 24fps with some select shots of each component in either 60es or 120fps. Pretty much everything was at 180 degree shutter angle (not the slow shutter stuff obviously). Used a gimbal with 20mm lens for a couple niche shots here and there but 90% of the day was shot handheld. I had a VND on pretty much at all times and shot everything in Slog3 SGamut3.Cine. Hope this helps!

[@edengate1]

This was huge. Basically a course. Thank you so much. Please bring more editing!

[@petersarellas]

Definitely more editing to come! Glad you found it useful

[@CatitoArce]

This is the first video in your channel. 6:23 and I am already very impressed by the quality and generosity of this "recap video". I guess I have not alternative but subscribe. Gracias.

[@petersarellas]

Wow, thank you! Welcome aboard I guess haha

[@MatisMedia]

Thanks for going over the pre production side! I feel like understanding that makes the rest of the shoot easier!

[@petersarellas]

Of course! It’s an essential part of a shoot

[@hiitsjake]

killer breakdown bro.

[@petersarellas]

Thanks Jake!

[@Flamingo876]

Your breakdown, transparency and explanation on why you choose your shots is second to none. I also just watched your transition pack video and I’m blown away by how organize and easy they are to use. I will be purchasing and subscribe. Wish you showed the entire video but that doesn’t take away anything from how great your creativity is and the info relayed. Again, Thank you bro!

[@petersarellas]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and am glad that you’re enjoying the content. The full video from this breakdown is at the end of the tutorial if you want to give it a watch. Thanks again for sticking around the channel!

[@GaretQualls251]

Great video. Love the switch in focus from sports, but appreciated that you used same techniques!

[@petersarellas]

Yeah definitely fun to try my hand at something similar but in a slightly different realm. There were definitely lots of transferable skills. Appreciate you watching!

[@brooksleger8159]

Love to finally see someone talk about their process. Did you only shoot for this edit? Were all the shots taken with your final video in mind?

[@petersarellas]

I shot for this edit and a shorter 15s cutdown of it that ended up being very similar. I also provided this edit in 9x16 format so I had to shoot keeping horizontal and vertical in mind. Pretty much everything was shot with the final edit in mind, but I probably only used 5% of what I filmed since you never really know what will happen and what you’ll need until you get into the edit.

[@garelbidi]

Thanks a lot for this video Peter !!! I take notes seriously and will try to turn my "classic" recap videos into "dynamic and more engaging" recaps !!

[@TheAggieTreypound]

Great for learning purposes. I learned a lot about different shot ideas.

[@petersarellas]

That’s amazing! I feel like I always get a ton of new ideas for shots and effects from watching others work as well

[@OSAMALENS9]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial you are amazing

[@petersarellas]

No problem I’m glad you liked it!

[@RichViewss]

Dope vid 🔥I’ll subscribe! Hope to see more vids like this!

[@petersarellas]

Def gonna have more like this coming along. Appreciate you hanging around the channel!

[@porkchopsanddoobies]

Dope. More of this pls

[@petersarellas]

Will do!

[@callyscorner]

This was good bro!!

[@petersarellas]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed

[@Elleven17media]

Thanks for dropping some knowledge 🫡

[@petersarellas]

Of course, thank you for watching!

[@paulgero]

Very helpful and educational Peter. Thank you for sharing!

[@petersarellas]

Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!

[@Cineinsaner]

bro love this tutorial .. really help full

[@petersarellas]

Amazing, I’m happy it helped you 🙌

[@joshrexford]

SUCH a solid vid man, really appreciate your perspective! Keep these coming 🙌🏼🤙🏼

[@petersarellas]

Will do! Appreciate you tuning in

[@admworldent]

Dope!

[@WilliamKentMedia]

This is great. More videos like this please. Two questions: - Are you shooting in SLog for something like this? - How long would you say this edit takes you from start to finish?

[@petersarellas]

Definitely more videos in this format coming soon! To answer your questions: Yes, this is all shot in Slog3 This edit took me about 8 hours from start to finish. I started editing right when I got back from the event as I had to turn the video around in 24 hours, which was actually a huge time saver because all of the footage was still very fresh in my mind and I basically didn't have to cull anything. Obviously when given more time you're able to do more, but timeliness is often among the most important factors for content and even when prioritizing it you can still make some pretty cool stuff.

[@Russ-O-gaming]

Peter , Full breakdown tutorial please 🎉 !!

[@lcerwinske]

Hey Peter, thanks for another awesome video! I wanted to ask a quick question. Regarding your clients, could you let me know how to price your services? I live in a smaller city where video isn't very utilized so when colleges or organizations reach out and see my prices they immediately decide not to do it even though my prices aren't even very high. I would love some tips and help on how to start charging at the right rates to build up clientele.

[@petersarellas]

Hey Luke, thanks for watching the video! Your question involves a response a bit too detailed for a comment section so I’m going to link you to this video where I’ve discussed the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHyWpp5olMt7otEsi=M_gUUPQ00pkqhXMw

[@duaneoldham4760]

Your footage has an almost "film flicker" to it. Is this something you added in your Lut / film grain effect? Thanks Peter! Great video!

[@petersarellas]

In the sections where I added the colour overlays as I outlined there is a bit of a flicker effect that I’ve added within one of the overlay files. The rest shouldn’t have anything like that so any resemblance of a film effect is coincidental.

[@Ashur_Glow]

I'm Uzbek, but i'm looking this video. Very useful

[@petersarellas]

Glad you find it useful 🙌

[@lucas59190]

Really nice production 🥰 How much do you charge for dat kind of project? I’m gonna start my activity soon and I’m really confuse about pricing

[@BafodéDramé-r7b]

Hello Great video! Do you shoot in s-log? Or with a special profile?

[@petersarellas]

Slog3 SGamut3.cine with detail turned all the way down

[@kyletorain6153]

HUUUGE info... thanks

[@petersarellas]

No prob! Happy it helps 🙏

[@isaacleblanc9583]

Biggest tips on filming events as a solo videographer?

[@petersarellas]

Do lots of pre-production - prepping shot lists and paper edits, double and triple checking gear, client meetings to make sure that your vision and their vision are aligned. Make sure you're going in with a plan and everyone is on the same page about what that plan is, because on the day of you won't be able to capture everything if you're completely alone so you need to be intentional about what you do decide to film.

[@ZachIbbetson]

So tuff

[@petersarellas]

Thank you! Glad it helped 🙏

[@TheBananaRon]

[@statsports-q2p]

[@petersarellas]

Like the microphone that I'm speaking into in the tutorial? It's just a 15ft USB-A to USB-C cable off of Amazon. Link to the one I bought here: amzn.to/3WNJ5Do

[@JayUltra]

Dawg! All in favor of making a playlist of how-to videos and calling it, "The Playbook"?

[@petersarellas]
