THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEGINNER AND PRO B ROLL - Behind the Scenes Demonstration

[@Kaadprani]

Attaching a camera to a camera to show how you shoot alone that's awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[@seankitching]

Haha yeah I thought it could be cool. Thinking about making more like this 🙈

[@seankitching]

What do you think the main difference is between the two videos? Hope you enjoyed the tips!

[@hritesh7]

Please make a video in forest

[@scottbailey.fingin]

First, thanks for the comment today. Glad you saw a video. I liked the ending in today's video as you changed the focus on the rocks. Seems to serve the same purpose as pulling out to end the scene. The choice of using a quick shutter click to end the clip might serve as a good future video about "endings". Before editing software was around video directors/editors probably left a lot of film on the floor, or burned several more reels of film trying to find that perfect look and sound end the scene. Maybe you could show us what's new or trending in today's cinema world. Thanks again for the comment. Scott

[@marlenelandstravels]

Haha the beginners version is a bit of an exaggeration but it made me smile because I do that sometimes with my phone for vertical videos to post on Instagram... great video ;)

[@Leprutz]

Very exaggerated. And yet it did have a cool look for some nostalgic 8 mm B-roll.

[@JoBaculio]

This video is a cool showcase of the contrasting skills between beginners and professionals in B-roll videography. The side-by-side demonstrations are both educational and entertaining. I hope to see more videos like this in different situations or locations. Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@BeginningsAndPaths]

Thanks for your effort, Sean. It seems I already know most of those tips but when I'm out on the field I constantly forget to do everything quite right. I think it's just a matter of practice but meanwhile your videos helps me to remember all the things I should do when trying to take the best shots I can to polish my skills in order to take my vids on a better and more interesting level. As for your question about the difference between the two videos, I would say that in the pro version you think not in terms of long video footage but more likely in terms of single shots-much as in photography-from which to form a video. And not every shot may necessarily require to move the camera especially when there is enough mouvement in the scene and when it would be good to put some mouvement, it has to be done gently. Thanks again. Philip.

[@seankitching]

Yeah I know the feeling. Easy to forget certain things when there is so much going on but definitely agree, repeating the process over and over helps. Nice way of thinking about it being like taking a photo, guess you wouldn’t just shoot images all over the place haha. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Zyrk01]

How would you suggest practicing and drilling the ideas we already know but forget too often?😂 This was really helpful, thank you!

[@TinCanFlyFishing]

I like the 70-30 rule. Thank you. I also like the movement in the focused shots. 🙂

[@joetury]

okay. Just bought your LUT pack. I use a Sony A7iii. Excellent luts!! Honestly some of the best looks I have tried. I would highly recommend to any Sony Alpha user.

[@TheMelodyGod]

One of the best videos I’ve seen yet. Super simple and you didn’t use a gimbal witch shows it’s not the tools. It’s the man using them .

[@jeffreyhofmeister3103]

Sean, Thank you for this type of presentation. It was a good idea to show both sides of creating a video. From a beginner to a more advanced. In how to see and capture image's. Keep up the great presentations.

[@1960ceramic]

Great video Sean! You gave me lots to think about when I am shooting. Take care.

[@Longdayvlog]

Very cool video show case. I will need to get out and apply what you have shown here. Thank you very much!

[@DaviesDiaries]

Your luts work well, worth the money. Thanks for the email advice and the great content.

[@seankitching]

Ah thank you so much for purchasing them and giving the feedback. Really happy to hear you like them. I think my favourite one is the cine skin one :)

[@DaviesDiaries]

Totally agree! @@seankitching you are a legend!

[@psysword]

What a showboat. Love it. Thanks

[@Katharina552]

Nice tips! The pro version looks so much better 😍

[@seankitching]

I think so too!

[@englishwithmaria]

Sean, thanks so much. Great teaching. I really like the pace of your videos. In the pro version, I loved the contrast between the short clips and the longer, slower ones

[@seankitching]

Awesome, thank you! Yeah cool that you noticed that, nice to keep the cuts unpredictable

[@goingtheextramile0]

New here. but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all you rhelp!

[@seankitching]

Ah welcome! Glad you found the video helpful!

[@MariusXMelisa]

This is so nice. We learned a lot of new things 😁

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

This is going to be fun! tHanks for the video!

[@seankitching]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@theyrecord]

Enjoyed a number of your videos today!

[@jaylee9029]

It’s really useful for me. Thanks for the sharing.

[@tyl8ter]

That's literally like day and night awesome

[@seankitching]

Haha glad you can appreciate the difference. Hope it helps!

[@209lapko]

Outstanding

[@btceatsfiat6641]

EPIC work bro!

[@tommybelo]

The idea of the video is nice and will help many beginners. But only some shots in the second version, the “pro”, look actually professionals. Because the video is often shaky and is totally flat. Never shallow background, that adds beauty. You had a filter, but obviously you get that with proper camera settings. Also a built in active stabilization would help someone that doesn’t have a very steady hand, and for sure a further stabilization in post will do the final touch; last but not least, pulling the focus from time to time to reveal details would make the video more interesting.

[@Bonnie-Lewis-Australia]

Thanks great advice I didn’t even know I needed this advice ! Finally someone who says I don’t have to talk fast with a weird slightly high pitched voice and make thumbnails with a weird smile showing my teeth and bulging photo shopped eyes/ I honestly would never click on those and I can’t see how people do but they do ??

[@dedosmotoruteando]

👍👍👍 thanks you for your tips!!!

[@Peter-Dirks]

Sean, many thanks for this!👍

[@seankitching]

My pleasure!

[@RedneckandPinay]

Always enjoy these videos. Definitely helps keep the creative juices flowing. Thank you.

[@seankitching]

Glad you like them!

[@ipti8]

Love this. My thanks!

[@h-dawg969]

Are you staying on auto ISO with a reasonable high iso limit, and 1/50 for the 180 degree rule, then changing your aperture for each scene?

[@h-dawg969]

& is that an nd filter on the lens? One of my New Year’s resolutions is to start filming more with my camera as I usually only shoot drone footage 90% of the time and I gotta practice more with handheld footage. I have the a7iii & Tamron 28-75, which is pretty much only used for photography. I recently got a freewell 2-5 & 6-9 variable ND and really plan to try and get some proper footage.

[@AninChakraborty]

Loved it ❤

[@taitran7843]

perfect...many thanks

[@weeklyfascination]

70/30 rule. Great information for newbies like me. Thank you!

[@seankitching]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GusMcCrae01]

Excellent info in this vid. What beach is this??

[@seankitching]

Thank you! Its in Natures Valley in South Africa

[@SalimBencosme]

I love it!. Keep doing this type of content!

[@seankitching]

Thank you! Definitely more of these on the way!

[@rivalfilmco]

What is the long accessory that connects your cage to your 360 camera's tripod? I've looked for "long cheese plate" things everywhere and have never had luck.

[@GardenMoxie]

Thanks for sharing your tips. What is your opinion on doing the camera movements in post vs while filming? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much.

[@seankitching]

Pleasure. In some cases yeah it can help with getting rid of the shake. For a push in for example. But I try to create them in camera when possible, it has a different look and being able to move the actual camera lets the background and foreground shift in a way that just doesn't translate from adding keyframes :)

[@GardenMoxie]

@@seankitching Thanks so much for sharing that. I appreciate the insight.

[@shawnfoodfever]

great sharing 😍😍

[@BlackRoninFilms]

Really love watching your vids 👌🏻

[@seankitching]

I appreciate that!

[@DMoneyGarage]

How long do you recommend each shot be?

[@m_saqibali]

7:00 one movement at a time: 1. Slide across 2. Pan forward 3. Pan backwards

[@Leprutz]

Neat pro version, but I believe you could have done a much better edit. Some shots seemed kinda repetitive somehow. I loved the bird liftoff. Perfect timing catching it. Excellent.

[@KC_salgstraener]

Which ND filter? Nisi 5 stop?

[@samuelalexander321]

the beginner is when you first time doing documentary video of your family vacation. its not good but memorable for a raw moment.

[@SonytexSony]

But gopro still have a great credit for the amazing stabilization while ur shooting and amazing color ❤. I love GoPro

[@seankitching]

Yeah definitely but also very limiting with the wide lens and things

[@ToddReuterOutdoors]

Were all of the clips at the end in slow motion anyways? I thought you mentioned that you didn’t want to use strictly slow motion.

[@cinrixchannel]

Nice brother

[@m_saqibali]

9:00 shooting directly into the sun is allowed!

[@johnclay7644]

informative video.

[@seankitching]

Glad it was helpful!

[@88steps81]

beginner would share unedited clips. I know, i'm doing it :D So your takes might be beginner but with edits it looks better than expected.

[@iamzr81]

Good example of a video. However I found the cuts too fast in the pro version and not really comprehensive and maybe the colorgrade was a bit undercontrasty for my taste.

[@182-media]

You could also flip the footage if needed So it goes the way you want :)

[@m_saqibali]

7:49 isolate subject and be intentional with the shot

[@noelkoagow9474]

Keren, wow

[@MathewsMolokishi]

Nys picturs

[@ayanrad3466]

Lol I did all the beginner shot today morning 😂

[@ToddDeSilva]

it's funny. I kind of like the beginner version. Has a dad-cam vibe to it...hahaha. It really depends on what your trying to convey with your story. Pro-version 120FPS always makes things look cool though

[@seankitching]

Haha yeah its definitely a vibe actually. Definitely a popular style these days but I would do it a bit differently if it was intentional. Maybe a nice idea for a video actually ;)

[@wendywitzig119]

Excellent tips!. Did you over expose +1.7?

[@seankitching]

Thank you, I generally over expose by about +1 for slog 3 but not always ☺️

[@m_saqibali]

10:50 get involved - move involved, don't always rely on the zoom!

[@AndreasLiljegren]

Very funny! 😂

[@seankitching]

glad you had fun haha

[@m_saqibali]

8:39 low angles + consistent movement

[@Leprutz]

I do hope you did not end up looking like a red tomato after your beginner vs pro demonstration. Nice to see you back in action.

[@m_saqibali]

10:00 70/30 rule (do more research)

[@qiganqifan]

As the first time I take my video camera out. I shot many beginner scene with a really serious and professional face😂😂😂

[@maxinemanlangit]

❤

[@tlcassel]

Thanks Sean! Potentially personal preference, but you specifically-do you always follow the double shutter speed when you are shooting mixed frame rates during something like this, or do you just leave your shutter speed around 50 (if shooting 24fps) no matter whether your slow motion is 60fps, 120fps etc? Thanks!

[@seankitching]

I always try double my fps so if I am doing 120fps I try keep it at 1/250. :)

[@tlcassel]

thank you! I binge watch your videos. You have a fan in Canada! Sending much love and appreciation for all you teach and the time you took to respond!@@seankitching

[@allnn2552]

I love how the pro version footage shows the camera is out of focus and shakey for most of the shots, your shots are not aligned with the horrizon so giving that slight awkard dutch angle feel to your pan up shots. The complete none rhythmic meaningless shaking of the camera as it pans up gives it that nice unprofessional gritty feel and not showing how beautiful, vibrant and elegant the sceneries are. Also the fact that you put a NID filter over your lense gives it that amazing blend and dull color pallete to show case just how boring and depressing the beach is. Can't wait to buy your course work and learn all these useless "pro" skills and get 0 paying clients. Nice! Keep up the good work!

[@rahulgawale]

Bro always finds secluded places to shoot tutorials.

[@seankitching]

Ah yeah gotta find those spots :)

[@m_saqibali]

12:00 pro version takes more effort and time!

[@vistasuprema]

If there is one additional piece of advice I could give everyone here, it is this: Hold your shots longer than you think you need to. Seriously. Count to 5. You'll appreciate it in the edit.

[@justsaying3176]

doesnt matter, pro or noob u both saw what they tryna show lmao

[@richduemusics]

🫶👍

[@bdvisuals_]

Exaggerating the beginner too much haha.

[@thetiredtourist3927]

Come on, these "how to shoot fantastic videos" are all the same... the beginner is always laking in any sort artistic sense. If the person knows how to turn on the camera, the person knows about close ups and keeping the camera steady...

[@seankitching]

I think people find these videos very useful for learning to be honest. Even if the beginner version seems obvious to some it might be harder for others. Maybe you are too advanced for the video to benefit you ;)
