How to shoot a music video - the basics

[@ProdwasaQ]

watching this before going to shoot my first video wish me luck 😳

[@damiencooper]

good luck

[@birdy5275]

Same! Good luck dude!

[@m4ntis786]

Good luck

[@conversationnation7]

How’d it go

[@2m0rot]

Me too, how did you get on?

[@joshdiditt]

Damn. That multicam is a game changer. I have been syncing everything manually FOR EACH scene. WOW

[@damiencooper]

Nooo don’t 😂

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

Same here! Damn! Wow- mind blown 🤯!

[@wonderwoman1700]

It’s not a bad thing to know how to do that because you can control all of the awkward milliseconds that don’t need to be in the scene as well.

[@besosdenyc]

Same here! Didn’t really understand how to use the multi-cam until now!

[@dylanmcvey1047]

@@damiencooper so this multi-came sequence actually involved multiple cameras? or this is with one camera that filmed from various perspectives/angles?

[@Prejippie]

Though we’ve been making music videos for about 4 years now, I am not a videographer and appreciate learning better ways to be more productive. Thanks for giving me a few new techniques to try (I never name my layers, so I will try that to help move things along better)! 🧑🏾‍💻😎🙌🏾

[@damiencooper]

It’s all about workflow 😉

[@modernmusicstudio303]

I like your point about playing the original audio being heard in the shots. It's so much easier to reference where your at in the song whne you do it that way. Thanks for the tips!

[@DanielWhiteWithCanon]

Great content was suprised to only see 27k subs.

[@damiencooper]

me too :D

[@deadshotcodmyt9099]

In a month they've gone up 2k

[@brightibok4208]

@Monkeypixel, which is the best camera for shooting music videos?

[@jayteesgear]

Super cool advice and after years of being on pro music video sets I now understand why they had the song playing at each take/location

[@MikeTXBerry]

Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Awesome, awesome video man!

[@TrueNorf]

VERY HELPFUL! Thankyou! I have been asked to shoot a music video in a few weeks, out of the blue, so am frantically doing as much research as possible before I get going. This video BY FAR has been the most beneficial to me as a beginner! 👍🏾😁

[@ovadoseooo947]

This is so important to me. Im a independent artist. Im doing everything myself. If I know how to do everything? (Like shooting a video) I won't need a major label. Id be doing everything those guys are doing. I already release music. And I can shoot my own videos. Back in the day? You had to make it big before you could even do that stuff! Today? You don't have to wait to be famous... You can turn yourself into a Star! I have to learn this!

[@0bed]

That intro is smooth as hell.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

really great video dude, I love how you explain things.

[@dawnghop]

This is the best video about music videos so far

[@nemisis4804MaddLabsTv]

You're Absolutely right lol!😂😂😂

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you keeping this so I can actually show it to my students in High School. SO many others are completely misogynistic and replete with drug use. Thanks!

[@vinigoeswest]

This is great! I am in the process of shooting a music video and this multi cam editing timeline will definitely come in handy! Thanks! 🙌

[@_mubarak02]

Basic , simple and straightforward love this thanks A lot !

[@ihassan1001]

My God exacting what i was looking for.. you made it so simple.... will be shooting my first music video. I was lost about how to shoot and edit like how many shots i neee but man your video is going to get me through it... thanks

[@isanskari]

How come I had never known about the multicam thing. My life is officially different from here on out

[@BrianVelez]

Wow! Go figure. I knew I was able to do the multicam set up on Adobe but had no clue how to even do that on Final Cut Pro 😱 thanks for the great advice homie!

[@Evour]

Im gonna use this on saturday for the shot of my first video. Thank you 🙏💕

[@alanburke7508]

Absolutely one of the best tutorials for creating a music video on Final Cut Pro. 100. appreciate you.

[@audunskrindo5877]

Wow, this is serious the best tip I have seen in a while

[@its_young_luth]

As a video editor its enlightening to see different editors perspectives

[@aqualust5016]

This is cool! Having done animation before most of this made complete sense.

[@projectvanuatu]

Brilliant, thankyou! Shooting my first music video soon. Definitely different from film or tv

[@RobertRodriguez19]

Thank you for Sharing, this really help me

[@JDCottonMusic]

Excellent breakdown of video options. Much appreciated. The next question is, “How does one choose when to cut from one scene to another?”

[@Brandonfioremusic]

Which lenses would you use when starting out and which lenses does what? Thanks!

[@damiencooper]

well, that really depends on the camera and the usecase. I will have a video up soon about all my lenses and what I use each for

[@Brandonfioremusic]

@@damiencooper I’ll be sure to watch it let us know when the video drops

[@dylanmcvey1047]

generally you want to accumulate a kit of three lenses, wide focal length, normal/natural focal length, and a telephoto focal length. this is with prime lenses. if you decide to acquire a zoom lens that is able to cover a range of focal lengths, then you will sacrifice quality for convenience.

[@globalboss1law]

I understand now.. thank u

[@seraiahisrael3512]

From experience, I think it’s better to record good audio in order to make synchronizing the auto easier

[@micaiah.patterson]

Next month I’m going to release me first song and I’m so excited

[@itsreemiem5009]

So helpful thanks 😊

[@ric0thalowkk]

Shooting a video Friday! Wish me luck

[@tribesman8678]

Very much Appreciated thank you...give us more.

[@MartinVlogLifestyle]

great video. so if you have 8 different scenes, do you shoot the whole song with scratch audio ? thanks

[@damiencooper]

Honestly I usually do yes. If you’re better at planning than I am and you know exactly where different scenes will end up in the final edit it’s enough to only shoot those parts

[@FinalfixMusic]

That looks amazing!

[@beatrizcarvalho3935]

LIP SYNCING!!! huge, something people don't think about

Have to learn this

[@paulbeckmann]

Great tutorial!

[@vikingmusic1876]

Nice video bud, do you need to perform whole song multiple times in every other outfit and place?

[@damiencooper]

That’s how I do it for most videos. It’s easier in post and requires no pre production

[@RajBeats]

Great video. Any idea how to do the automatic audio sync to all clips in Adobe After Effects?

[@javygody4899]

it is easier in Premiere

[@ipaintu]

Producing & directing seems fun

[@johnwayne6325]

trying dis soon wish me luck 🙏

[@KeaganNicolls]

I wanna know how you record outside? Like do I set up a speaker to play the music? If I don't have a speaker, what do I do?

[@mxprogression]

This was awesome thank you bro 🔥😎

@Birdy... I have my very first shoot to perform on Saturday/Sunday. I'm a bit anxious and sorta nervous as well... it's a low or almost zero budget shoot, we'll use nature as our friend. I'm the camera + gimbal guy + director. I saw your comment, which means u had an experience last month. I wish I can dm you and take all your tips and advice and know how it went... What worked and what didn't. Kindly respond asap, I'll greatly appreciate it. P.s I'm using an a6400 + Sigma 16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4 and a Sirui p1 Gimbal, also with a fluid head tripod.

Lovely video

[@guitarbasics2911]

Sehr gut. Danke für die lektion

[@globalboss1law]

What do you mean by i need to record the audio? Is this done seperate

[@dylanmcvey1047]

record the "live" audio of the performance, the main focus is the studio soundtrack being played from your speaker. you can use the internal microphone that is built in your camera, or you can use a shotgun microphone with a more narrow perspective, or you can use a portable recorder. there's many options, not just 1 correct method

[@toxicdriver6402]

As a beginner would using a Cannon EO5 rebel be ok for starting out until able to get better camera? I've had multiple video ideas and have been writing the screen play for each one is that a good thing to start off doing?

[@silence1s3]

Great toturial!

[@igotthekeyzz2125]

great vid!!!!

[@SatinMediaDetroit]

Pretty much my same process except, Im picky so I dont use the multi cam sequence.

[@ONWORK2024]

hey !! may i ask which camera are you using for the actual music video and which ones do you recommend? Thank you 🙌

My biggest life question answered! I was right.

[@basickslash]

Thank you‼

[@JamesA_Art]

Really Clear Video! I'm just curious if, when you replace the audio in post, is that a studio recording with the singers voice? Or is it just the 'clean' audio?

[@sherbrookestudios1339]

Dude, This is so helpful. Thank you so much

[@BookBitesByAshish]

very underrated channel

[@NortherniceStudios]

And do I just use a Bluetooth speaker on set playing the actual song?

[@dylanmcvey1047]

correct, just be sure the speaker is not visible for the camcorder

[@kurt_is]

Bro, what??? I didn’t know you could sync a bunch of clips like that…
