I shot a client's commercial in my bedroom. | Grande Cosmetics Lash Fix-It Kit

Welcome back to the self-isolation studio! This week, I've challenged myself to incorporate some epic b roll techniques into a video for a real client of mine, Grande Cosmetics.
From taping light stands to suitcases and gluing chopsticks directly onto our product, we're going to have to get a bit inventive to push out this commercial in the middle of a global pandemic.
///
This GrandeLash-MD behind the scenes commercial gives a little insight into how to shoot a product video at home. Using the GrandeLash serum as an example, I'll show you how to shoot product b roll and walk you through my product photography cheap set up.

I've been having SO much fun getting creative with my videography from home. It requires a lot of problem solving, but the end product is completely worth it.

Hey there! Fellow filmmaker here. While I am 100% not interested in makeup at all, I watched your video and was really inspired by your creativity/dope editing skills. I am currently shooting some product B-Roll and was looking through youtube for some examples/inspiration and this did it! Keep up the great work, subscribed.

[@medallionmotionpictures]

Hay Grace, I just came across this amazing BTS vid for your client's commercial this summer of 2021. As a content video creator, compliments go on to you as you continue to prove it's not all about using the most expensive high-end gear to get the shots. You prove time and time again it's all about having a creative vision that drives you. @ 3:11 the secret magic trick of grabbing a suitcase, a light stand, some tape, and a laundry hamper was totally unexpected. I was like, this is completely unorthodox *what dah! what!* Amazing Grace you are indeed and I would consider you to be a hardcore DIY QUEEN. The Kool thing about conceiving an idea at the moment is that it might seem crazy to execute but in the end, it was so crazy it worked beautifully. Keep your eyes on your prize and always remain relentless in the pursuit of your purpose. Your clients will praise you and others will marvel over your work of genius. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on this wonderful concept video ad for your client. Absolutely Brilliant. Oh yeah here's a DIY hack. Next time you're using superglue add a pinch or two of ordinary baking soda by sprinkling it around the glued area. This will allow for an immediate bonding action. Although I would not recommend using this hack on humans or pets. Cheers!

[@lauravadi]

so talented! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Whole time I'm about to pay someone to do this for me when I can just do it myself. Thank You for your amazing tips Grace.

[@verzomusic]

@@GraceWells jejej you’re doing a great job! And there’s nothing wrong on getting some inspiration ;) keep going girl.

[@GraceWells]

@@verzomusic thank you!

[@lenmartinez]

How do you select your soundtrack? Also, do you pick your music first and then work off that? Does your client tell you what kind of "style" they want. Omg sorry, so many questions 😅. I'm just so eager to learn!

[@GraceWells]

Hey there! Don't apologize haha! I have an Artlist subscription, so I go through music on there and just choose something I think suits well. I ALWAYS choose the music first - planning all my shots with the timing and vibe of the music in mind makes a huge difference in the final product. And it depends on the client! Some clients are very specific about what they want, some clients let me run wild. Hope this helps!

[@Luxshicosmetics]

I want to know what editing software you use as well as what you use to erase the background of the popsicle sticks cuz I think that was genius and sometimes we don't know what we don't know so the fact that you were able to create something that people that have done this type of work before as far as doing that scene like you did an awesome job and me having a cosmetic business want to have those quality shots and videos that give people the real experience and feel of my product like this was like this is some L'Oreal some MAC cosmetics some really high-quality shooting you did here❤

[@MsExcalibar]

Great Tutorial, need to try and implement some of these techniques into my Beauty Channel. Where did you get the turntable from?

[@GraceWells]

Thank you! I just got it off amazon, it was under $15!

[@BukolaOd]

I love your videos! I've been trying to get into this space. I'm a beauty content creator and I want to do more for the brands I work with. Just Mini commercials in between my videos but I have only my phone and a tripod. Do you have any tips for me?

[@clairepaule3840]

What glue should I use to make my product stand?

[@cintthyacastillo]

Wow it's amazing and can I ask you what editing video app do you use and thank u💖

[@GraceWells]

Thank you!! I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects!

[@sharongmm]

Love love love this! Do you have an editing tutorial for this product shoot? I'm curious how did you removed the stick when the cap is turning in post?

[@GraceWells]

hey there! I don't have a proper editing tutorial for this (hopefully I'll get around to it one day!) but what I did was I filmed two shots 1) shot opening the bottle with the stick 2) shot of a plain backdrop I then overlayed shot #1 on top of shot #2 in Adobe After Effects and created an opacity mask on shot 1 to "cut out" the bottle (excluding the backdrop/stick). You'll have to make Mask Path keyframes to move the mask throughout the shot, since the bottle is moving too! Not sure if you have TikTok, but I explain the process in this TikTok video: www.tiktok.com/@gracewellsphoto/video/6831245945141841157?lang=en Hope this is somewhat understandable haha! I wish I had more time to make tutorials but I work full time so it's kind of tricky to find the hours in the day!

[@sharongmm]

@@GraceWells thank you!!
