HOW TO use a SLIDER to get SMOOTH dialogue

[@NIKONGUY1960]

I liked her performance. That little look over her shoulder. Good stuff for 2 person dialogue.

[@jkumarinho]

Anybody else notice the inconsistent aspect ratio between some of the cuts apart from the audio?

[@Liamoz01]

as a c200 owner all your videos are so helpful and your latest uploads are so so interesting and handy :)

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks Liam! The more vids I make, the more ideas I get :)

[@YoungBlaze]

Thanks for this, side note... your name sounds like a material that the avengers would need to beat thanos

[@xyzproductreviewtest4006]

YoungBlaze lolz thought the same thing

[@hussainbellal]

Nice work Rubidium, slider’s are great tools for mimicking high end shots

[@andreashaggstrom]

Awesome. Very helpful. But I noticed some inconsistencies in the sound levels and room tone. Between 08:33 and on to 08:44-ish.

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks! I really dropped the ball on the audio on this one. You can tell that there was just one shotgun mic on a boom that no one was monitoring. We only had one lav and I was the one wearing it :) Subject for a future video, perhaps?

[@billkujawa]

Yep the inconsistencies in the audio were the first thing I noticed too but nice job on the video.

[@YakumoKobe]

Very nice idea and tutorial! I also noticed some inconsistencies in the audio edit, but the tutorial is focused on the video, rather than the audio, so it's fine... Can I ask you what sound backline you used here? I mean what mic and what recorder... Thank you!

[@DonovanFrancisDaniel]

Thank you for your classes. Thank you for sharing your experiences

[@Blair_Millar]

Nice video! I preferred the lighting/grade in this one to your previous commercials. Really nice.

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks! Being a personal project, I had more freedom on this one :)

[@JermaineGrant]

Aaah i love shooting & cutting dialogue scenes. Loved this short scene though. Actors where on point!

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks Jermaine! Dialogue is the heart of any film - its where people connect and change. Everyone wants to cut to the chase but its the conversations you remember. Glad you liked it!

[@christianbasehart4767]

I loved what i learned from the video, but I didn't feel like the actors were on the same page. JD seemed to be playing it straight and Reina was delivering comedy. Other than, I have yet to see a Rubidium video I didn't like.

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks :) I was going to a 'Dr Who' kind of vibe with the serious guy and his 'wacky' assistant. Not my usual genre but it was a fun to shoot.

[@AquaticRod]

The camera loves her!

[@maxmeier532]

The actress is gorgeous. I dont even know what the story is or pay attention to what they are saying but boy is she convincing!

[@maxhighstein]

That's helpful! I suppose this might also also useful for an interview, one in which you'd want to show the interviewer. Would you suggest it in that situation as opposed to a scripted scene?

[@JakeHellbach]

Thank you for the video! Great ideas using the slider. I'll try that in my shots.

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks Jake! You only need about 24 inches of travel, but it makes all the difference

[@CMVFactory]

Great job. I have used Jimbal all the times with c200. but nowadays I thinking use slider for my web-Drama.

[@namaxamedia4521]

Thanks a lot. good motivation for pushing my self to shot better dialogue!!!

[@georgeforall]

Thank you for taking the time to make this for us! Actors did a nice job.

[@Crimsonengine]

I thought so! Thanks.

[@eliseocamagay6347]

Great! I did find though your sound / mic placement(?) wasn’t consistent

[@eliseocamagay6347]

Sorry just saw your comment on the inconsistent sound and the setup you used... cheers!

[@xyzproductreviewtest4006]

awesome videos you making mon!

[@FlyingOverTr0ut]

Good tip, something I hadn't thought of.

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks. I saw it on a DVD extras and decided to try it out. It Works!

[@Gregg0Palmer]

This was a really good tutorial, very good tips.

[@highbird21]

Nice! Learned a lot from that one!

[@BabarKhan-oh6zq]

EXCELLENT WORK!

[@mosesknows2062]

Saw this on the Edu channel, good stuff... Thanks, Moses...

[@JohnnieButtersonline]

That woman is stunning to look at!

[@Crimsonengine]

She has such an amazing energy - I wrote this part for her because I was sure she'd crush it :)

[@StevenSeiller]

The last line and reaction was delightful. Made me giggle! ☺️

[@DouglasTait]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@ScottDumas]

I'm getting way too addicted to your channel ;) keep it coming!

[@Crimsonengine]

Thank you. Going to give it a shot!

[@KandidReviews]

good tips and as usual i loved the lighting in the short. superb. is is possible achieve such lighting with a canon 700d?

[@robertadams3666]

Love this channel so much! Keep this content coming man your awesome!

[@randallburgess6393]

Awesome thanks!!!

[@glen8fingers]

Awesome content found you thru luke seervelds channel🤙🏽

[@tqaproduction]

Great stuff! Thx for sharing. Looking forward to see more of your content =)

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks! More to come :)

[@abdougalsen]

Great !!! Thanks

[@Sameir8055]

Oh man... that's amazing...!! Next time, I will use the slider for the OTS ;) By the way, I found few differences in the background (bouquet) from the previous video... lol... It's really stunning.

[@ReflectingMe2024]

Another superbly interesting video. Was the Video Tripod intentionally included at 7:47 - 😊

[@Crimsonengine]

Lets say... yes :)

[@ReflectingMe2024]

@@Crimsonengine Aye, thought so... 😂

[@celo2043]

Solid quality content! You deserve way more subs!

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks Marcelo! Better to be underrated than overrated :)

[@barrymurphy5548]

Fantastic !! Really helpful, and you have the C200 looking really ace ! BTW did you use the AF on these shots ?

[@MyJeanf]

Thanks very helpful video

[@risingritesh9154]

awsm video man! u look better without beard tbh

[@terenceriley1375]

Rubibididium Wu, I was going through Benro's website S series for a 75mm dish and a fluid head tripod and a monopod rig with a desktop hi-hat to finish it off. I came across your video for the slider and WOW! Benro is such a value and the MCA01/MOVE ON 10 took me by surprise. Too cool! Tripods and a slider rig, spin dial, and programmability all in one compact package? DEAL! SUB'D and LIKED! I'll reach out to you on Gmail for one other question. Best filming technique channel on YT ever. Bar none!

[@thiagovianna6539]

Love your stuff man... It's so damn good how you light everything! As a fan of good photography I finally have a small budget to invest in lighting. Since everything in my country is so damn overpriced... would you mind giving a quick tip on what is a good "combination of essentials" to cover most needs when it comes to close ups and interviews (softboxes, LEDs, cheap lights, etc)? I'm starting to shoot a lot of it and I see you achieve amazing looks with no more than 3 or 4 sources of light most of the time :P

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks Thiago. I have a video on different LED lights and what they look light coming out next week but I also like the idea of the 'essentials' pack. What I did here was just diffuse the window and use light to raise the level in the room. Glad you're getting something out of the vids!

[@thiagovianna6539]

Crimson Engine awesome! Thank you! I’ll stay tuned when the video comes out!

[@Were_It]

Good work

[@AlexMinor]

Your videos are amazing, bro. You should have way more subscribers.

[@Crimsonengine]

Thank you! I'm working on it :) If you have any ideas, let me know!

[@pratikgoud1]

Great tutorial thanks, but the audio transition was bit off

[@intruderstudio4703]

Thank for the video !, and the footage is so clean and pristine !, may I ask you if you use any noise reduction or some kind of digital smooth on her face?

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks! I shot with a low ISO, 400 i think, to reduce grain but I didn't do anything for grain in post. I may have lowered the midtone detail in resolve to -10, but thats it. Reina is just one smooth looking lady :)

[@intruderstudio4703]

You are so right !

[@hamrostyle9046]

Nice video

[@nicholasjude7937]

Nice Tutorial ! does the slider have the option to put a motor on it ? for timelapse purposes ?

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks! It does have an optional motor/timelapse kit: amzn.to/2KgIrHF

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

you have a little too much space at her right, that´s a bit distracting for optimum composition, maybe you need cheating and diagonal a bit the line between their eyes, in the way the depth of the shot was between the two persons, i´m not filmaker, but i´m very well formed in photography, in particular composition, you also can play with the tone of the background to get more depth making it just a bit darker, thanks for your teaching i really don´t know nothing about filmaking techniques

[@iAmirx]

Small errors with the black bars. You've mixed mp4 with RAW?

[@Crimsonengine]

Errors? You mean *features*? :) Shot in raw - I think I pushed in on one shot and didn't reletterbox. Would definitely get rejected by Netflix QC :)

[@AndreyMorozov_instadrom]

why is the skinton at 90ire level and shifted to the yellow area?

[@Crimsonengine]

Sharp eyes! Short answer: Its not - the 90IRE is the white wall behind her, the red spike is her shirt. This is one of the reasons false color is better than the Histogram for this kind of thing. There are a couple of false color LUTS floating around...

[@thebolivianguy64]

What were you using for the fill light?

[@thogan]

How do you like the Benro slider?

[@microdoulo2250]

Do u have more lit can I buy

[@charlesleroq932]

I don't understand this technique - It seems you are serving no storytelling objective but loading shots with distracting, unmotivated movement because you have a slider and are able to. I personally found the scene at the end, rather woozy to look at. Surely the problems you mentioned could be addressed by blocking a scene better? If the actor in the plane nearest the camera moves around too much, then you could direct them to keep still more. After all, they aren't really the subject of the shot.

[@Crimsonengine]

Interesting point, Charles. It both the actors movement that effects the OTS, and yes, you could simply tell them when to move and when to stay still. But even with the best actor, this will have an effect on their performance and they will necessarily come across more posed and less spontaneous. Its not right or wrong, just a different style.

[@914junkie]

Just 1 camera?

[@liquidmocofilmsllc4915]

I'm surprised because I have watched a few of your videos so I expected more from the cinematography. 1. The color grade is not very filmic. It looks like a commercial. 2. The color grades are different in the head shots vs the 50/50 shots 3. Sound was not very good.

[@amguate]

Slider? I hardly know her.

[@Crimsonengine]

I wish all my comments were this punny :)
