How did you like this video? Let me know if you'd like to see me shoot more like this. Also... Did you see that crash at 4:40? 😂 Ouch.

[@VinayLaheja]

Cody Blue thanks for the reply i guess sony bodies have IBIS weather you have it in your lens or not , doesn’t matter anymore. anyways thanks for the response 👍 love your work!

[@Endurophin]

Brilliant video. Some pure mountainbike youtubers might be jealous of your stunning videos (me included :-D ) but YES please do more of these.

[@michealsmith4859]

Cody Blue Fantastic 👍🏻

[@sullbikes]

That was dope!

[@guidoscholz7111]

Hi Cody, thanks a lot for this excellent "making of" video. I like mountainbiking a lot and admire your well proven gimbal skills. Cheers from Germany.

[@gidokrom]

I really like this sort of videos! Especially for the people who say filmmaking is easy, ill just show them this video. It's amazing like always!

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks dude!!!

[@Endurophin]

When Cody does it, filmmaking looks easy too. :-D You realy only understand the hard part of it the moment you are standing on the trail with your camera, trying it for yourself. At least that's my experience.

[@rc3designs]

One of the best BTS videos I’ve seen. I really like this style of tutorial. Please do more like this 🤘🏻

[@natthesquirrel]

This video completely blew my mind. Your talent and your dedication to getting the shot go beyond words. Wow.

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks man! It's not easy but its worth it.

[@JackStolz]

One of my favorite videos you've done. Really like the detail shots and use of foreground elements.

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks Jack! Hoping to do more field videos like this

[@umar_manga]

I love the different shot live it. Thanks for sharing

[@raksh9]

That is freaking great! I can hardly believe you ran after the bike in those shots and didn't fall end up smacking into a tree. That's skillfull in itself!

[@woonglee7066]

You are the best man. If you ever think about coming to Korea, let me know! I can show you Seorak Mountain, which is my favorite!!

[@AdventureMuse]

Thanks for taking the time to recreate how you filmed your MTB video. So much effort goes into making great videos, it’s nice to see how it was done. 👊🏼❤️

[@yeswanthneehar]

Normal fimmakers just show their outputs. But an aspiring filmmaker shows behind the scenes. Amazing one and glad you videos are being sponsored

[@Hoowahoowa]

Lovely video, just shows how passionate you guys are

[@DavidSkok1]

One of your best so far. High instruction value. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks! Gonna try to do more in the future

[@MagneticMTB]

This was very inspiring. Watched it about a year ago. And revisiting it now. Great stuff!!

[@giacomomirarchi6826]

Thank you for this behind the scenes! I shot six trails this year for a tourism agency and gonna do it again next year and this was so helpful!

[@codyandvictoria]

Nice dude!! Keep it going

[@pikooworld]

Loving the BTS scene! Hard work = great results

[@goldenstardust]

I’d like to see a video how you balance your Crane Plus gimbal with the 24-105. Have exact same kit and it drives me nuts trying to get it balanced on all axis!

[@codykeepa7237]

Sick clip Cody. Loving the "Behind the scenes".

[@tobiaslord]

Mate, GREAT VIDEO and Thanks for the BTS too. so awesome to see.

[@IAmAaronEdwards]

Best sponsor ad ever I was rolling lol.

[@codyandvictoria]

Hahaha thanks bro!! If I'm gonna do ads, I want them to be cool 😂 it cracks me up every time. Stoked to work with a cool company like Story Blocks on this one.

[@OpenRangeStudios]

Nice filming! Solid color grade too.

[@WilAlexander]

I thought it looked like Tahoe... Then noticed the SLBC shirt on Cody. Nice work and great tips!

[@Neilpowis]

this was great to see, A7iii is super impressive.

[@andrewspangler3462]

Nice man. It's nice to see how much work goes into a video like this. Good work and thanks again.

[@pumpkineater_4208]

My favorite videography and mtb related BTS video. I really love your work! Just two little questions: How do you keep focus on your subject during one scene? Are you using autofocus or how do you focus?

[@codyandvictoria]

Usually auto unless it's not working then I flip to manual

[@gmolina]

Cody, what a great video! Lots of value and entertainment! Great work as always, keep it up! Cheers!

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks dude!

[@ShqipdonS]

This is what I like in behind the scenes,loved it...You did a really good job Cody ;)

[@mpactdesignmedia]

AWESOME! I'll probably never film mountain bike vids, BUT...so much of this applies to whatever you may be filming. Great job and thank you!!

[@sheemaw3465]

Worth it!

[@Rattler]

Nice video! Also trying to shoot with the stabilizer Zhiyun Crane Plus

[@ezervalencia4158]

very nice info my friend , thanks a lot!!!

[@kenpen21]

Thanks so much for the content, and not just this video. Really helped me in choosing some gear for my A7iii.

[@bensun432]

So lucky to be able to ride still! Very helpful thanks man

[@codyandvictoria]

tbh I wish it was covered in snow.... but I'll take it for now.

[@andreacardinale569]

Great video Cody and very helpful tricks for filming, Great work!!

[@RodrigoGarciactg]

Sooo sick!

[@MeHoneybee1]

Thank you for sharing! I have some close friends that are mountain biking enthusiasts and I can't wait to use these tips to propose doing a video for them!

[@codyandvictoria]

Get it!!!!

[@azrinaz8993]

Awesome BTS...please make more of these, very inspiring and informative Cody, the science behind the cinematic. Also, it would be interesting to see your thought process and flow behind the editing?

[@klvnzln]

dude thank you so much, it really help us. AND damn you got zero dislike, awesome content man

[@drewkocak]

Filming fast moving objects is always my fav lol. So fun 🤘

[@EarlyDawnTravels]

This is awesome, I was wondering how you got that shot with that much movement!! You’re just a fast runner!!

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

Very nice vid! Do you mind me asking what you do for focus? Like when you shoot through the trees, do you use autofocus? Because when I do, it always jumps from background to foreground focus... Or in this first shot when he jumps, where do you set the focus when your rider is not in the shot yet?

[@codyandvictoria]

Manual focus if there's something that might confuse my focus. otherwise auto

[@TrufflesOnTheRocks]

@@codyandvictoria Thanks mate!

[@rachedhedia]

Nice video, very informative, thanks for that ! Quick question : I don't see you using lens hood or uv filter - not afraid of dust/gravel/rocks damaging the lens ?

[@shervin182]

Good question

[@travismcbride5816]

Such a dope BTS!! Keep up the amazing work man.

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks my dude!

[@paddy_cakes]

3:54 that shot!

[@edisubangkitbarata3702]

Thanks for sharing this video.🔥🇮🇩

[@drewkocak]

I never knew I needed this but I need to film mountain biking now

[@codyandvictoria]

It's fun!

[@foto_nrw8472]

Very good Job... Great i like it

[@richardremulta4066]

Nice footage, I used a portion of your video clip for my project. Thanks in advance

[@codyandvictoria]

It's probably wise to ask first before using someone else's material.

[@ECorpuz08]

Love this! Hope you put more of these type of videos out!

[@KAYLAROSEKOTECKI]

This is amazing!! Did you shoot in any specific picture profile or slog? And then do one of your luts after?

[@yishan7841]

this is so coooool

[@emeraldmtb]

awesome info. thank you so much for sharing. i’ll be trying these tips myself

[@bikeninja956]

dude, this is SOOOO frack'n interesting, done in a down to earth manner to boot. Just love it. You're really good at what you do, I love your style. Where is this footage taken? where do you guys ride? This is the type of terrain I've always wanted to ride.

[@codyandvictoria]

Lake Tahoe 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@bikeninja956]

@@codyandvictoria nice. What camera are you using for those third person shots?

[@artfilm3058]

Fort of all. I like the beginning when you are saying. Hello it's your boy Cody blue. Hahaha. This so cool. Anyway. Running with your gimbal like that. Man. It's all about sacrifice. Waiting for more. THX

[@austinpangcog8240]

Great video! Very informational, I’m starting to grow my own bike page on IG and KZbin. Keep up the great videos

[@EliAcuna]

amazing video dude. great work.

[@ScottBell]

Nice one, have a meeting to do some work with a mtn bike company this afternoon and this just popped up in my feed :) Thanks for the tips.

[@codyandvictoria]

Nice dude! Good luck!

[@e-zyduzit800]

This was the hidden GEM FIND of wizardry filming techniques- stumbled across this video and it's one of the best I've seen for months! So comfortable on camera and your editing and exploring on this subject was second to none! Brilliant video bro! Shame I have got a MEGGA gimble or any gimble for that fact, as it seems to be the best option. Could you adapt a go pro 8 with wide angle and the hyper boost stabilization on and fixed on a selfie stick?

[@codyandvictoria]

Glad you enjoyed it my man!! A GoPro could work well but they're not so good in those shaded areas

[@e-zyduzit800]

@@codyandvictoria Hey! So the gopro will be my best and only option apart from my phone really so I'll loosen the max iso up to 3200 and the ev comp to 0 ( I normally run it at -1 in general ) and that should keep it a bit brighter, thanks for the great ideas!! I'll be sure to try them out on my next group ride!

[@bydouguera]

Very nice see the magic happen! Thanks man

[@UnplannedMadventures]

Fantastic.. would love to watch more of such “Behind the scene” videos Cody.. Umm.. let’s say.. a playlist of just Behind the scene videos?? What say? ;) Do give it a thought bro.. Cheers. \m/

[@jakeysea]

love this tut! thank you bud.

[@destin-danser]

Great video! Love it! What are you doing for focus? Prefocsuing to a set distance and just leaving it, or are you using autofocus for this?

[@kumitetoday]

That was terrific.

[@johnlavelle9961]

Really good video. It has gave me some new ideas for my monthly movie. Thanks again.

[@jwalamathew5818]

Great effort!! Could you list out the gear updates if you plan the video in 2023-2024?

[@codyandvictoria]

A7cii and 20-70 f4

[@elaineross9365]

Great video Cody, like to see a lot more like this, very insightful, thanks.

[@Keefikus]

Awesome stuff my man! loved it!

[@martinhill3154]

Really informative. I would definetly want to see more like this video.

[@AlexLeeFilms]

This is so sick! Thanks for sharing this, so inspiring!

[@2007Lachesis]

Enjoy watching this! I'm curious to know how you get your focus right? Is the AF always working perfect?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Such a dope video, I hope Zhiyun hits you up for this video to possibly test out the new products...your shots are much better running over rocks than most people just walking in straight line.

[@videomaker3331]

What framerste did you shoot this video? Was it only one framerste or did you use 120 fpsand at another clip 60 fps Great video

[@kiesemedia433]

i loved watching this video footage. keep going 👍

[@charcold1]

Such bad weather where I am in the UK at the moment, but this has motivated me to find some good in that and go out shooting tomorrow - keep it up mate!

[@gubunken]

Wow thats very inspiring for newbee like me. Thanks man!

This video has zero dislikes. You're the boss! Great content

Awesome BTS bro. I was wondering about a few of those shots myself!

[@calling0911]

Loved this bts video.. more of these please..😃

[@oamericano1]

Thank u so much! very cool to show being the scene! no many does it, may I suggest that next time, share more info about ur ISO, aperture, etc, setting to get to understand better how do you do! anyway great and you got one more follower now. take care.

[@JFRides]

Awesome vid 👍

[@thatutahguy5988]

Hey Cody huge fan of your work! I was wondering if you could do a video on how you edit your photos in Lightroom. Keep up the good work👍🏼

[@dalepeterphotos]

That was great. Very informative. Thanks.

[@jasonrae3049]

Seriously love this video! Great info on how your getting those great shots.

[@codyandvictoria]

Thanks Jason!

[@eandgmtb7949]

This was an awesome video! Super helpful!! Thanks man! Keep it up! You’re killin it! 🤘🏼🔥

[@maxdmachy]

Impressive making of! Guess you need a seventh sense on top of your awesome fitness and feel for the sport to take that quality of footage! Great to watch anyway. Btw the closer rule is by Robert Capa!

[@trimotionmedia5487]

So sick! Loved this video! Amaaaaazzingg. Loved watching the BTS. Would’ve liked to hear a bit more about gimbal mode for each shot. Also maybe discuss the overview of exposing the shots?

[@codyandvictoria]

Yeah man I would like to but this one is already 13min. If the videos are too long people won't watch so I can't talk about EVERYTHING unfortunately. Gimbal mode never changed btw. Just used the standard mode the whole time

[@trimotionmedia5487]

@@codyandvictoria Yeah man totally understandable. Loved the style of the video and think it was great, but It would be cool if you talked a little bit more about settings of the camera and such here and there and why you are choosing this aperture or setting white balance throughout. Just an idea. I have a SmallHD focus monitor and really have been wanting to mount it onto my Crane 2 with my sony a7iii...but don't know which connectioin accessory i should get. How you liking yours?

[@Walkingtours24]

Amazing like always , do you use auto or manual focus thank you for the video

Thanks Jaime!

[@dmleventhal]

Cool video. I'm curious what kind of changes you make in post when you show the mtb footage from the a73. It looks so much more cinematic. Really impressive how good the footage is when you're running with the gimbal. Solid work 👍

[@codyandvictoria]

1) Add black bars. 2) Color grade. Those are the only changes really. Thanks for watching!

[@toetav]

Real solid video! Wondering what F-stop you have been shooting the follow cam segments with? and what focal length you shot? Everything manual?

[@codyandvictoria]

Mostly f4 dude. and mostly 24mm. Manual settings but auto focus.

[@toetav]

@@codyandvictoria Auto focus is pretty solid then!
