Check out how I used Hero Shots on a Documentary kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnrdmpmMlsSLrpY

[@leapnlarry]

Hey jeven, i think a great video idea is how to become a amateur director, how to get people to act they way you want in your videos, you gave an example in this video, showing the actor the shot, awesome. I am going to keep examples of some shots on my phone and show it to somebody i want to film, i think it will make them understand and look more comfortable, maybe even express a look or stare i am looking for. Im sure you have tons of tips for amateur directing.. we film ourselves for an rv travel channel and to complete in this genre we have to bring up our game while filming ourselves and other characters in our videos. It will make editing, telling the story so much better. Thanks for your tips, they encourage total amateurs like me to level up our game. Larry

Im so glad i came across this. Things can be so overwelming but when you put it down like this it really helps with the chain of thoughts and ideas get slightly better. Im 36 years old and im really liking this jouney so far. Changing my career and trying to get into shooting films. And people like yourself can be a real guidance and motivating Thanks alot for making this video. And The shots from India really made me smile.

[@offgridmedia]

I love how simple your setup is when you’re out shooting, no excuses!!!

[@MikeBabsBC]

I knew I needed this, just didn't know how to capture it right. thank you!!!

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

This is perfect for documentary shoots, might try it at a corporate event too

[@landwaterandthewild]

I don't know why but I often find channels that I was subscribed to that I am no longer subscribed to. That has been the case today when finding your videos in my feed

[@HristosInAfrica]

nice, thanks. I am thinking to buy a 4k 120p camera, since my a7c still only supports hd 120

[@NeekAnthony]

learning a lot from these videos thank you

[@davesnapsyou]

Thank you so much! And I immediately got an inspiration for a scene with a hero shot.

[@Danny-fs1hk]

3:11 Excellent lesson and these ladies are beautiful with great smiles

[@harshad.sharma]

7:03 💯 Back when I did portrait photography, I used to keep a 30 inch monitor facing my clients and tether the camera to display every shot as it was taken. Transformed people's comfort levels because they could see every shot and change pose or expression until they got the shot they liked.

[@trippingtheroad_liaandkevin]

Ow damn! This is super insightful, thanks 🔥

[@RockyLimit]

I’m going to have to try to incorporate some Hero shots in my movies!!!🎥

[@RonaldBrown59]

These hero shots were amazing. Thanks for sharing this technique with us.

[@relaxingnaturewalks]

I concur that making the client feel more at ease and friendly by displaying them photos or videos!! Love your content!!

[@monsieurbbq]

COOL ! Do you have a advice for a Hero shot for a BBQ Video ? Can I have a here shot with food ?

[@AquaticRod]

Very well put, thanks. One thing to add, though. I do underwater natural history documentaries, and I can tell you that everything you describe here applies equally to work with animals. The best moments in wildlife storytelling are hero shots, where you build the connection of the audience with the animal. One could argue that hero shots are even more important in natural history since people do not naturally have a connection with the hero of your story.

[@landonpraught9170]

wow, this was so helpful. thanks

[@moritzhberg1778]

Thanks a bunch for this, Jeven! Gave me some inspiration for a documentary I’m currently working on. Already shot a couple of hero shots and they turned out amazing! Will reshoot at a later date with a gimbal though, because I tried the orbit shot handheld; and while it works, it is still kinda shaky and not as smooth as I want it to be. But I’m still super impressed with what I’ve been able to capture.

[@heyjudesadventures]

Thank you so much. I'm learning so much from you!

[@larryestrada5418]

Golden advice, as always. Thanks.

[@UnchartedWood]

Thank you. Very informative 🤙🏽

[@Awthentik]

Great video. Curious to know what focal length was used on the hero shots in India on the man.

[@JevenDovey]

50mm

This is an essential! ❤

[@JauneMacReady]

Outstandung. Great tutorial and very helpful. Thank you

[@GPOutdoors]

That was excellent - very helpful. - thanks!

[@lettochfilms]

Great reminder. Thank you. Incredible to have access to such a pro. Isn't KZbin wonderful! Cheers Jeven.

[@kevinpaige5746]

Great stuff! Thanks!

[@RavensEyeOffroad]

Id love a how to shoot an overlanding style video. I try my best to craft a story and give some educational info about the places we go but I feel it can easily get redundant and the same ole shots each time. I often have little idea what the place will look like or how point a to b looks. So im constantly winging it. Any advice!? I find myself relying on multiple cameras (typically gopros) to try and get different shots as we go. Would love some advice there, big fan!

[@johnpftd]

Thanks Jevin! More good stuff for a rookie like me.

[@MK37TV]

Amazing. Thank you

[@ManishPt-IN]

Very very valuable..Thankyou

[@alummis]

Thanks for this big tip!

[@edwardsongco6246]

Love this!

[@shmuelaryehkoltov241]

Thanks for the insights 🙂 I wonder how you would make a hero shot of a building or some structure. I'm doing documentaries of historical sites, and want to incorporate cinematic storytelling into it.

[@michaelbeeministries2020]

Thank you! 🌞👍

[@rgarlinyc]

Great advcice.[ I shall certainly incorporate this into my filming, thanks a lot

[@moyofamilyadventures]

Beautiful

[@ahmedsalafap5898]

Valuable lesson 👍🏼

[@johnclay7644]

informative concise video.

[@NomadFilmmaker305]

Good job!

[@michelestapleton]

Thank you!

[@PhotoGearFun]

I spy Jake Sloan! Thanks so much for the video. Cheers.

[@warmvibes4567]

Amazing ❤

[@Lanaizi]

Thank you thank you thank you for your work, I’ll try it today

[@JevenDovey]

awesome!

[@SammyC27]

can you do this without a zoom? i use fixed lenses. the one where you move in, you talked about zooming in. why not walking in?

[@OneStrangeJourney]

I film alone. Kind hard to get that shot. but will try.

[@FreiwilligFrei]

AMAZING INFO

[@Noname-qc8sp]

To make push in do you use AI SERVO (canon camera)?

[@Paul-Atkinson]

Another great video! Jeven, how heavy is your backpack when loaded? I packed mine today for the first time. I gimbal, 1 camera, 3 lens, drone and a few very small items (batteries and SD cards) and tripod strapped to the outside. Ended up at 8.3KG and I still have GoPro and point and shoot Sony to add lol. An I over complicating it? 🤔🤔

[@andyarts8382]

Great info. Where can I see some of your films?

[@joshsrvy]

This same concept can apply to an object or thing that is the hero of the story? Ex if I’m making a video of tools of my trade and the focus of a specific tool then I can capture the hero shots the same way with voice overs. Do you think this will have the same effect?

[@girdlebugboys]

So helpful dude!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it helped!

[@cracoviaPG]

do you use the tamron 20-40mm for the Hero Shot?

[@zine25100]

Dud you're amazing

[@the1andonly]

Great tips. They will be valuable for future videos. Oh Jake sloan, I like his videos too 👍

[@santoshmore221]

[@bao.n.nguyen]

At 03:24, is it supposed to be “Orbit” instead of “Oribit”? Anyway, your video is concise and helpful as usual. Really enjoying watching this. Thanks for sharing :D

[@TJLiwanag]

Orbit for humans. Oribit for frogs.

[@ThinkTheory]

Damm! This would be awesome to get but I work alone 99% of the time lol not by choice

[@osaichella]

Namaste from India. You are a teaching MASTER!

[@RoamingDevi]

Jeven the biggest issue i face is how to shoot yourself alone ..you will not have always team with you for your journey .

[@MoiraOBrien]

This where you can put the camera on a tripod at a distance from you. You can also use cameras like the Osmo Pocket 3 with motion tracking - or as Jeven says, your drone.

[@RoamingDevi]

@@MoiraOBrien Although i have DJI osmo pocket..but never easy to shoot alone with cinematic moves using my sony a7s3 as stabilization is an issue ..it has limitations ..tripod will provide some static moves bt cinematic moves ...

[@MoiraOBrien]

@@RoamingDevi true, there are limitations. I have been shooting solo for the past 9 years, but I don’t even try to be cinematic.

[@AlthafHussain07]

[@jeffreybuoncristiano]

Jake!!!!

[@songsbydaniel]

Love this! Care to come shoot some hero shots with us on the Inca Trail in Peru? I work for Follow Alice. We are currently looking for someone to join us on the trail. Would you mind if I email you with more details? Would be epic to have you on this trip. It's on the 16th of September.

[@JevenDovey]

Send me an email

[@adipop]

[@LifeontheMoose]

A selfie hero shot sounds so...egotistical! lol. Doing it anyway!
