[@JevenDovey]

I built a course for you on how to Make Money selling your B Roll: geni.us/BEftcyZ

[@Sid.is.art.youtube]

Most of your shot from A roll and B roll lack headspace

[@sifou6578]

Recently started my channel because of you, thank you for everything brother

[@EdwinvandenAkker]

Great video. I try to use as much B-roll to tell the story. I use A-roll much like the narration for the video. What I sometimes say is that if I mute the audio, the B-roll will tell the story. That works very well. Also, when I go out for a _"gig",_ I tend to shoot the interviews first. I listen to what they say to shoot those things they talk about. This way I know exactly what to shoot as B-roll footage. Of course it helps a lot when you know what the people in front of the camera will talk about. But in many cases I don't have the luxury to have that much time.

[@EdissonReinozo]

Tips: 4:00 1) Make it smooth 2) Shoot Shallow Depth of Field 3) Shoot in Slow Motion

[@iManual]

Thanks

[@smallcnclathes]

Smooth is fine, use a tripod Shallow DOF and half my subject disappears. LOL Can't shoot slow enough to make it worthwhile. 120fps just does not work for my videos

[@morewithmonroe313]

B Role is so important. It gives an inside look, examples of what’s going on, and gives the viewer a break from one perspective. Great video

[@joegallicchio26]

You have 100% explained and shown what b-roll footage is. I specifically played this video to try to understand what b-roll vs. a-roll is and you have very succinctly and easily explained it without a lot of technical jargon involved. Thanks so much!

[@chefboy5111]

I'm glad this man is fluid with his projection and talking points. It's all hits and never just a ramble or rant on and on about him and what he does, it's focused for you and helping you. Super great through and through.

[@phucmapvlog]

I just picked up the Zhiyun Crane M2. I’m looking forward to getting some epic BRoll shots. Thanks for the tips!

[@basil_leaf]

Hi Phuc Map!! 😆

[@rofiponakan5138]

Thank you so much Dovey for your clear explanation. Now, I can distinguish between A-Roll and B-Roll. 3 Tips for Awesome B-Roll. 1. Get Smooth Shots - Gimbal, 2. Shoot Shallow Depth of Field (Throw the backgound out of focus) - Wider open aperture lenses 35, 50, 85. 3. Slow Motion Shots - 120 fps recommended

[@stevecleans]

Your subscriptions are really growing. That's a testament to the quality of your videos and your content. 🙌

[@thesolid9091]

Okay know I understand A-Roll: Jack is talking about how beautiful the beach is B-Roll: footages of the beach but with voice over of the Jack. Got it

[@SERGEANTTOMATO]

Doesn't have to have have voice over. It can have background music.

[@thesolid9091]

@@SERGEANTTOMATO yup

[@snowbeach7]

A Roll like what you're doing now talking to us & the B Roll is like showing things or showing background footage. Stock footage that's like your bank saving minus the interest or zero or without interest. It's like your pandoras box. Your own treasure. Learning every time w you Jeven. You're a great professor w gadgets & you tubing. You're doing it w passion you just want to help. Sharing is caring. 👍

[@Gabiche]

Very clear explanation! I was wondering what B-Roll meant, but in your video I found the perfect explanation! Thanks!

[@itschurchlife7]

B roll is the background footage, A roll is the Audience, or the person you’re filming.

[@ThebittenTiger]

Its Church Life thank u, i don’t need to watch an 8 min video 👌🏼

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

While this definition is nice, it can be an over simplification. Like cutting to a close up of a cellphone you are reviewing while you are reviewing it and away from your "A' may not feel like "Background" to a layman. As these would be very close intensional shots of small object. While on some level what you say is technically true, calling B Roll "background" shots could make some people think it's always like in the world of establishing shots or landscapes. When enhancement close ups (such as cutting to a close up if a camera you are reviewing) is also operating as B Roll.

[@ABarbershopBarber]

@@TheDawnofVanlife totally agree.

[@brianvazquez6057]

Thank you for saving me 8 minutes 😂

[@kevin.creates4941]

“The sexy footage” lol. Facts

[@mikedistance7968]

This is very hellpful, now I know what B-roll is and I realized that I've been using it all the time.

[@miketaiwanwalkcity6355]

Finally I understand what B Roll is!!! Thanks!

[@StephenBell_video]

Love the lens effects and buttery smoothness of your examples! Awesome vid thanks for sharing!

[@IWriteDrama]

There's definitely a lot of great information in your video, sir. I do sometimes wish there was a more complete tutorial as to how to film it while it's being filmed in a BTS sort of way, but this is actually the best video I've watched so far on B-roll. Thank you for your time.

[@tomknowsvegas5000]

Thanks Jevon I’m trying to get my real estate brand started and I think KZbin is going to set me apart. I am really thankful for your videos I am learning so much. As I implement what I’m learning I hope it helps get me grow into a quality channel.

[@envisionelectronics]

Just subscribed because I wanted to learn how to start creating good content from the start. Lots of excellent information I can’t wait to implement in my own way. Thanks!

[@brettyg76]

Lol whenever I saw the term "B Roll", I assumed it was that motion when you spin the camera around in 180degrees with a gimbal (the 180 rotation, hence the B Roll)😂😂😂😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@berenicei.7283]

hahahaahaha ME TOO !! I thought it was some spinning filming effect, wow i was so wrong!

[@beauroberts3623]

Just found your channel while surfing and just now started to see some of your classes and may I say YouRock

Better than my actual film classes in college....I was never the *best* film student, but I got the basic concepts. And I use that for KZbin. But love learning from people to do it better.
