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

[@user-en4lb8tq7t]

Yo I really like that the actual footage is being show to us as you film it, I think that's key because we can see what angle and movements you're taking and what it looks like real time

[@TheSunnySideofCoffee]

Yep! Couldn't agree more!

[@deborahpondermance2795]

That is the most valuable part of this video.

[@smeech5177]

So true...it makes me wonder why tf don’t other people do it when they explain whatever it is

[@ninjacats1647]

Yes, this video shows an excellent contrast between effective an ineffective production. Follow your emotions, its far easier to feel the scene in the 2nd video.

[@steveshields2293]

@@anubhavhere6160 too much eye level. Remember to dip lower or go higher to change perspective and slow it down. And get steadier. Get a gimble

[@JayPromotions]

Same concept applies to drone footage

[@amiphi2912]

I guess the takeaway is this for a lot of beginners: If you see cool things, go for it, go close, go around, frame it up, down, reversed, add movement, whatever. If you're not stimulated by the environment, GET STIMULATED. Pay attention! Even if an environment might seem bare at first, analyze it, film ALL OF IT. Wide, close up, tilt it, add movement. Just don't sit there and pan and think that's enough or you're not interested. Pay attention to your composition, make sure a frame is pretty and shoot. If it just looks ok, don't even be happy with it.

It's hard to get good broll sometimes when you hanging out and don't want to slow your friend group down xD

[@bkhawaiiankine]

Jher and Soleil it’s actually super easy to shoot on the go. If you know what to look for you’ll be able to see the scene before it happens, you’ll also be able to manipulate movements as well.

[@iRicardoTM]

Make them be the models and they’ll wait for you all the time. And if they have seen your work before (and if it’s good) they will ask you to be part of it.

[@deborahpondermance2795]

I really like that you did this all using one simple camera and no accessories. This helps to illustrate the point that achieving good footage has more to do with composition (visual choices) and concept (what you are trying to SAY with your video). It’s not about equipment; it’s what you DO with the equipment, however simple it might be. Good job!

[@RyanLawless]

As a new vlogger, this was invaluable to me; seriously, this helped me understand aspects of B-roll I had never really considered.

I learned more in your 10 min video that I have in the last 2 years. I am going to take my well-intentioned but very average shorts and make them better now. You are amazing and thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge because it matters and really helps people. Thank you.

[@seankitching]

That is so awesome to hear! Really appreciate that and comments like this make me so happy to be creating videos and to have this amazing little community of filmmakers! Hope your shorts are going well!

[@dhirenphotovideo]

No offence, but it's taken you two years to learn what Sean showed in this? What you been doing for two years mate? Clearly nothing.

[@sandeshvantveen]

I've been trying to get into recording and editing, especially with all the extra time now, but a lot of videos make it feel so overwhelming. This one gave me the impression that it's actually doable and it gave me a lot of inspiration!

[@slowlivingjane]

Just letting you know that you are greatly appreciated. Not too much hoopla and frills, just to the point, informative and very kind. Thank you!!

[@RELAXINGMUSIC-ey7kt]

Thanks . Was very interesting

[@LillySchwartz]

Agreed on so many levels, very good demonstration! I have one thing to add though: What people should avoid isn’t pans, but aimless pans. Pans are used a lot in B-roll of more old school documentary stuff and if you combine slow pans with static tripod stuff, you have a completely different style that also works. It’s not what’s currently popular on KZbin, but it does work in specific contexts.

[@quinnkae6385]

Yes! Subject b-roll please. Also just more of you filming b-roll and talking us though it! Thanks for the content!

[@EarthWorksJax]

Favorite tip from this series was "shooting with purpose", which gets to the entire point of having a shot sheet on paper or in your mind even when doing run & gun shooting. Thanks Sean.

[@OldSchoolFilm1930]

Actually the first real B-Roll tutorial I've seen here on KZbin. Nice work. I agree to showing the footage you film as pic-in-pic. What most people get wrong about B-Roll: B-Roll is completely removeble footage without effecting the general clip/film in meaning! A lot of people misunderstand B-Roll and a lot of KZbinrs make poeple believe that B-Roll is about footage without talking poeple, that is wrong. Filming the same scene/subject from different angles is also not B-Roll, it's just different take. To get an idea: imagine John Wick without the scene of the dog being killed. That scene is absolutly essential despite no talking people. That scene is not B-Roll because it can not be replaced with some Russian kicking some plant or something. Hope that further helped to get an idea.

[@jaegermah]

Great job man. Authentic way of presenting your tutorial. I love the “live stream” view box in the lower left, and your to-the-point delivery. Good work.

[@SindisSpace]

I was even impressed by the beginner b rolls he made and was wondering if as a beginner I could even do those, then I saw his professional version and my mind is blown. after seeing this I hit the subscribe button immediately. As a small channel, I need these skills in my life.

[@proudcanadian9816]

Sean I have to say, THHHAT was amazing bro !!! Very simple, but at the same time a few simple tips can TOTALLLLLY transform someones otherwise dull vacay video into something like it was out of a movie, like you said. I'm pretty creative, I did do a photography course in college, so I have a firm knowledge of exposure, framing etc. But I never tire of learning different ways of showing and shooting people and objects. I ACTUALLY do your palm tree style of shooting man WOOHOO !! One other thing most beginners do, and always get hung up on, is shen they shoot, they want to start and end the vid clip as if it's the finished product [ie no editing/cutting/splicing. Whereas, in many cases, that's the key to MAKING it look and have that "pro" feel. Loved this video and look forward to seeing more bro, CHEERS !!

[@paulskalnenieks920]

by "cinematic bars" do you mean black bars at the top and bottom? You'll be better off by cropping a slice of footage from top and bottom to get a more wide-screen aspect ratio (instead of adding black bars).

[@ZapR21]

@@paulskalnenieks920 yes that is what i mean with cinematic bars. Altho i think its style preference to put those bars or slice top&bottom. But at least that is important to have in b-rol; he could refer to it in his video.
