[@thechrishau]

Leave all your b-roll ideas and suggestions below! Link your channel so we can see some of your amazing examples.

[@fromtheblackhouse]

Chris Hau awesome video Chris 🙏 Total amateur at video but just started the channel, would love you to check out some of my B-Roll! Keep up the awesome work.

[@cardcheater2262]

I liked the blue twitching in the other one, I actually thought it was a new fancy b-roll 😂

[@theweekendhomestead]

Just started about 2 months ago. Have a long way to go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXWll6GJqMmBj8U

[@TheDanaDame]

My favorite thing to film is Parkour and a lot of times I don't have anyone to film me so I really like getting those POV shots with my GoPro. I use the hat clip as a mouth mount since I've learned that the mouth is the most stable part of your body while moving :D

[@AlexOrchilles]

I always use different focal lengths to switch up the look and feel of my videos! Timelapses are really cool when using between 85-135mm lenses. Check out these awesome and cheap vintage lenses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXm2qnmMhtKXmas&t=

[@TheNewTravel]

How I stop myself from shooting 120fps : not having a camera that shoots 120fps

[@SlothMotions]

The New Travel lol

[@AustinCarleFilms]

[@abusinessfromscratch4886]

Thank you! For you great index bro

[@daddyshark7261]

u saved me a lot of time ... thanks mate

[@StylishDTailors]

"I'm not trying to film a KZbin video here or anything" "Where not trying to skate at a skate park or anything"

[@Jmschnider]

Stylish Dad literally 😂

[@waynebelfast]

Ha!

[@angie23575]

Yeah I was enjoying this video but that was pretty uncalled for.

[@SickofStupidMofos]

we're*

[@ROCMENdes]

was thinking the same :D

[@RobbieKnox]

I think the variety of shots is a really important point. Sometimes too many close ups can feel a bit claustrophobic and adding a nice wide can help the piece breathe. When I'm making videos for clients I'm quite good at it, but I think I could do with focusing on it more on KZbin. I also think shooting b-roll with an idea of where you might put graphics in the future can be really useful. It often helps to be aware of how busy, bright and contrasted a shot is so any text you might put over it isn't going to clash. Great video, thanks for making it.

[@JesseDriftwood]

That opening shot was absolute MAGIC

[@thechrishau]

JesseDriftwood thankssss jesssseeee

[@chico3517]

anyone can tell which drone this was recorded on actually? i know, gear is not important, but i'm just curious since it looks more dense than the usual 20-24mm you find on those mavics and phantoms. I assume it's an inspire with a 50mm or something? anyway, looks really dope.

[@MattEllis4]

Bless that shot

[@jiniusday4427]

Hey Jesse, I'm a big fan. 🙌 also a big fan of Chris too.

[@NuttyNu]

Its drone.

[@Pierretlambert]

Hey Chris! Almost 100k congrats man!! Loved the video. My Broll suggestion is also drop your camera on the ground. We get lazy to shoot anything below waist height but changing the angle and getting on the floor . gives that interesting feeling for the viewer of being part of the scene in an omniscient way. Peace ✌️

[@samuraichamploo101]

I get a lot out of videos like this where creators do so much to help others stay fresh and grow so that the whole community benefits. Thanks for the important reminders and tips. I appreciate your content!

[@NateDarling]

As someone who's been working in TV production (Commercials & Promos) for 20 years, this is a lot of the stuff I learned when I was first starting that I do not see from people just coming out of college. Beautifully explained, love the channel and the passion.

[@chuckscott1974]

I truly love all of these tutorials as a professional as it just reminds you of things that aren't in the front of your mind to do. Simple things like the POV or shaky footage. You really get into ruts wanting to do the newest thing you just learned over and over.

[@a.antoniaw]

Here is the summary (**SPOILER ALERT**) . . . . 1. Shoot different frame rates 2. Rack focusing 3. Locked off/ Tripod 4. Handheld/ Shaky 5. Timelapse/ Hyperlapse 6. Variety of framing 7. Mount your camera 8. Drone/ Aerial 9. Stabilizer 10. POV - Point of View 11. Slider/ Tracker

[@zarakxd]

Dude cmonnn his videos are special don't spoil em'.. :(

[@a.antoniaw]

Chris's elaboration matters😁

[@zakariyarodgers7967]

I literally forgot about half of his points since he went over them so fast, so thank you!

[@jcmuffins]

Chris, just gotta say, using the drone to video the car coming in and having the drone blow dust around when you stopped was underrated af. That was so creative

[@markkut]

Chris! I'm so stoked you touched base on this. Honestly, I'm kind of tired of seeing slow-mo on 120fps on almost every video. There are so many more creative ways to tell a story rather than slowing things down although there's a time and place for that as well.

[@mdpworld4111]

i came back more than once to re watch this , its a great reminder

[@AlexLaneLife]

This is more a transition rather than just b-roll but if your have a go pro and a camera. Set the go pro up on your head/chest/face and set them both to record so whoever is watching can see you filming through your POV. Then you can lift the camera so it's at the centre of the gopro frame and use a zoom transition to switch to the camera's view. I used it in my latest video and I thought it was pretty cool! Still perfecting it though 👊

[@MrJasenboychair]

Surfing while playing the electric guitar is Chris' level of B-Roll. Epic.

[@blegeglint5556]

Very interesting tips and tricks Chris

[@ConnorLipke]

My favorite thing to implement into my b-roll is in camera transitions. Just speed ramp the pan in whatever video editing software you use, and keep the rest slowmotion and cut the clips together. Looks really great.

[@djrialdo]

That intro Crane-like shot using a drone was BEST THING EVER, I honestly watch it like 10 times, its fucking sweet.

[@stevek1866]

The thinking out loud moment at 3:11.....HOLARIOUS! Thank you Chris for not editing this out in post. I needed that laugh. Thank you for being real

[@caseyc4730]

Good thing about being broke is you can't afford a camera that shoots 120 fps so you never have this problem 😂😂

[@thechrishau]

Casey Aye Lolol. Soon all cameras will have this in it.

[@jessegeschke5080]

I was just going to comment something similar haha

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

I’m pretty sure your cell phone shoots 120?

[@MJComicsTx_]

@caseychung Most smartphones can now do 120 frames per second check the settings.

[@flywithholyspirit]

Lol, Good one Casey.

[@MjayNight]

I’ve watched so many videos on B roll and not one gave me the information or examples I was looking for. This was exactly what I wanted! Thank you for actually showing the process!!

[@NorthMaybe]

Seriously that first 20 seconds..... Gorgeous.

[@thechrishau]

haha. Thanks man - I was hyped for it too.

[@juangiordano1136]

what drone did you use for the first shot?

[@MikeScioliYouTube]

Great video! I am thinking about the A7iii for that 120fps life.

[@no-vd2rh]

First 25 seconds, my gahh!! One of the best cinematic sequence ever!

[@karlpyka210]

An easy way to spice up your b-roll if you don't have a stabilizer is to use a tripod. You can tilt the tripod up to get a cool panning up shot. You can also get a pan tilt if you place the tripod on two legs and push the tripod to/from you.

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

It’s really refreshing to hear someone talking about none 120p b-roll. It is epic and makes for cool cinematic footage, I like your idea of staying away from 120p to make you think and a better film maker as you practice different skills. Great tips Chris, thanks for sharing, I’ll be keeping them in mind as I begin my video creating adventure. Cheers and have a delicious weekend JT

[@brittanijackson2968]

Thanks for all the suggestions

[@fineformstudio9579]

Nice tips, Chris! Variety is the spice of life!

[@Yannick11]

Nice to see Lizzy more often!

[@joshatlas9039]

Awesome tips brotha, always appreciate the creativity coming from this channel!!

[@caseyarthur1680]

I haven't published anything yet executing my most recent thoughts on B Roll but I really like alternating the color grading and correction to really set the footage apart from everything else. I still haven't found exactly what I like but I enjoy it anyhow. Great tips.

[@chadwin]

I couldn't agree more! I'm so sick of 120fps, so overused. There's a reason you don't see endless slo-mo shots in TV and Films. It should be used when it fits the story.

[@TobiasEnevoldsen]

Acrylic Studios AMEN! 👍🏼 Slo-mo: the auto-tuning of filmmaking.

[@seanboyd5032]

Couldn't have said it better man. It's getting insane now. Cinema is not all in 120p... yet almost all of youtube thinks that's "cinematic".

[@StudioBonn]

And that boring intro with "natural sand/dust" in front of the car... sorry, as I read the positive comments I reviewed the intro just to make it clear that I have seen the same....

[@stefanheldzinger]

Love your openness and mission to spark creativity around you!!! Fantastic tips!!!

[@valkyrieedit]

I believe the first shot was created with a drone. Two reasons why I think this. 1.) End of the shot the is a bunch of dust and dirt that is thrown up into the air (yes, this could have been done with a car too; however, the way the dust is moving it looks like a drone.) 2.) Look at the city scape in the top right corner. See the distortion? The original video was probably filmed in 4K or whatever, and then applied optical compensation in post, then cropped to give the tighter focal length effect.

[@steveleeart]

Shooting and working a subject is smart for not just shooting video but shooting photos. I’m looking at getting a drone but in some places they are getting strict about how and where they can be used. But many places have workshops from weekend long to stuff over 8-12 weeks, where you can learn a lot from experts.

[@DowntheWrabbitHole]

Time-lapses are my favourite - EXCEPT I always forget to make them myself. I get so caught up in the moment and then enjoying that moment with my family that setting up a time-lapse becomes the last thing on my mind. But I LOVE them!

[@jrjimenez3564]

Great video man Resume: -Shot different frames rates -Rack focusing -Locked off / tripod -Handheld -Timelapses -Mount your camera -Stabilizer -POV - Use slider -Drone great ideas to combine and do a perfect broll, thanks!

[@vidadogustavo]

That 2 first b-roll and song just blew my mind

[@patriciaAmurray]

I like to take photos of the same thing at two different times. For example, I’ll take a closeup of empty seats before a game starts and then take the same shot when the stadium is full of screaming fans.

[@samvanrest]

Sweet! Been thinking about this quite some time now, thanks for sorting them out!

[@davidrudolph5071]

Brilliant video, thanks Chris! Congrats to almost 100k!

[@moviesaresoback]

Love all the different ideas this video has. Definitely stashing some to try!!

[@GoTo_Connect]

Love your ideas, Chris! Nothing better than just trying everything. Gotta get weird to get that unique shot!

[@brunnodann]

this first sound track is amazing

[@nzlenz1164]

Excellent video. Thanks for all the brilliant suggestions

[@VinATL5]

Thanks for the tips! Just started learning how to create videos. Very helpful!

[@matthewrichards8497]

Brilliant. So inspired by the way you mapped the shots and styles out.

[@yoyocodyb9537]

Bro thank you I needed this right now in my career! Love it!!

[@MagnetMagicGirl]

This is the quality footage I aspire to. I hope to one day gain the necessary experience to get an eye for these shots!

[@BRP42]

Awesome as always Chris !!!

[@JasonCaloIII]

I love your content. Been watching your stuff for a while now. I hope more people watch your content.

[@Weird_Quests]

Great ideas for different kinds of shots to be used for BROLL - I always felt like I had to try and get slow-mo to use as BROLL, but you've changed my ideas somewhat. Thanks, Chris!! Keep up the, as ever, amazing content!

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Great Job Chris. Thanks for the ideas and the forum for more ideas.

[@jaakkoanterokuvaa]

You sir got a point there, i'm also tired of perfection with all cool elements like sports cars, yachts, perfect looking people super expensive gear. Maybe im just jealouss but can one make an intresting video where the story and the way of filming is the key.

[@PeleTiapula]

A cool idea for b-roll that I dig goes something like this; say you're traveling a lot and you're not exactly sure how to tie all of the different locations into one, well if you get nearly the exact same shots in a sequence, whether that be landing/taking off in a plane or you just looking around in the airport, smack some sexy text depicting your current location and it can make for a more flowing travel vlog...at least in theory...I actually haven't tried it out yet lol.

[@Catholicweddingvideo]

Great tips Chris! Next on my list of purchases is either a gimbal (looking at a crane) or a drone (probably the dji air)!

[@BrentHall]

I love the 120 b-roll from my 1DX2...but I also really like the 24p on my glidecam, and definitely timelapses! One can never have too many timelapses...Great video Chris!

[@twowheeltales]

really absorbing initial shots......was of great help

[@WorldofColton]

This was one of the most helpful videos Iv'e watched in a while! Thanks so much Chris!!!

[@dhananarendra]

my favorite content so far.

[@ThatRogersFamily]

Frame rate is something we really need to tackle more intentionally. Thanks for always putting out solid content.

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Super sick tips Chris! Time-lapse is by far my favorite type of B-Roll.

[@BLAISEDAHL96]

Loved this video! Thanks for this Chris!

[@BennyBowman]

This was great Chris!!! Really really helpful!

[@mohammedullahrasel4662]

that's great....I'm still watching and excited too

[@jackvillanueva9397]

Awesome Thacker for the tip

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Good tips man! I get stuck in the slow motion phase as well but am trying to get out of it!

[@hitmanleo5378]

and yes the opening shot is awesome

[@hossproductions4345]

Thanks for sharing! A lot of good tips and new ideas to try!

[@brettparker708]

Creating a constant motion is a great way to tie all the videos together, maybe always whip panning to the right, or zooming in to every shot to get a false sense of motion 👌👌👌

[@ChrisMcKiernan]

Oh man, you are soooo close to 100k nice job you earned it Chris!

[@JoeVincentPresents]

Just found your channel, I dig it brother. Congrats on 100k!

[@daniellaquaphotography]

Wonderful video and very useful suggestions to improve! Thanks for sharing!

[@jaymcb8635]

Thanka for making this video. I may be wrong but I think most of us are still stating out with handhelds and dslrs that don't shoot the magical 120fps. Its reassuring to know that guys like you don't always use 120 and it can look good. Would love to see more videos like this.

[@Bas_Angie]

Chris, are you trying to start beef with Peter!? Dont break up the dopesquad pls 😂

[@timgalletas3856]

Great video! Slow-mo shots can get boring after a while. Thanks for the tips!

[@brucehoover5140]

Great video, great shots! It's nice to be reminded sometimes of ways to flavor up a video! Well done!

[@badbackbatch]

You may also try 30fps - for instance the slider shot getting into the car - shoot that at 30fps and then slow down to 24 in your sequence - it will give it just a hint of drama but still look normal.

[@floatingrabbit3556]

I usually shoot 60 and even 30fps sometimes, and the b-roll is actually pretty good. I think generally if you have planned your shots properly and executed them well enough, the 120fps can bite the dust.

[@montelvisuals5879]

That intro was insane bro, another i like is putting the camera on a surface with something in the foreground and movement in the background, definitely keep grinding man.

[@Tinhuang1]

Great advice on B-roll shots! Thank you for your informative video. Hope to pick up one or two your suggestions and embedded to my clips soon!

[@samtei9903]

Such an awesome video! Quickly becoming one of my go to youtubers to learn about cinematography!!

[@Clickumentary]

That dolly zoom in the hallway was flippin cool!

[@wasimdar007]

Thanks for the suggestion actually these days I am working on series that we are going to make, n hopefully it will be uploaded in coming month's on KZbin, so again thanks n I will use all your suggestions n will post u link to our video, again I am thankful to u

[@laurafordesvideos]

Thanks for sharing those tips!

[@yusufhousini]

HOLY CRAAAP!! just that intro alone was so dope.

[@daveparadice]

Lots of gold in this video. Thanks ✌️😁

[@antonmessina5304]

Yes!!! Yes i love these ideas!!! Cheers man!

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Had to watch this video twice it was so awesome!

[@tylerdoop]

I honestly thought this was not going to be a good video, but it was so helpful!! I've never visited your channel or seen you videos before but this was so informative. Really helpful! Thanks for the tutorial!! Definitely going to incorporate these ideas into my summer project

[@eddiejaoude]

Thanks for the tips, really appreciate you sharing and showing examples. Keep up the great work!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

Sweet timing fam. I'm chowing on some dumplings getting ready to go to a shoot. Nice to have some Hau zazz to keep in my back pocket.

[@robertdee]

Sometimes in a wide shot it's difficult to get a sense of scale so put a potato in the foreground close to the lens to give a sick perspective to your radical shots. If you don't have a potato, any medium sized vegetable will do.

[@LydiaWalker]

Cool practical ideas! Gonna experiment with some of these to change things up

[@NJowa]

One of the best tutorials you filmed :) awesome ❤

[@amxvid]

Very Useful tips Chris!

[@christoffbusschots9468]

Love this video, short but a lot of tips!

[@kaloyantsilev]

Awesome video Chris! More of these please :)

[@grenierdave]

Thanks for the simple and effective tips my man. Keep rockin out those videos!
