Making A Music Video From Start to Finish Ep.2 (Behind the Scenes, VFX, Color Grading & MORE)

[@YCImaging]

LONG video, but lot's of great info. Enjoy!

[@CJWest]

Don't trip on the time some of us really need this, god bless.

[@luucamNY]

I also did a video similar to this can I send it to you so you can see the outcome I did a similar approach with green screen outside lol

[@Chasemovement]

Wana suggest because i'm also working on a floating music video too. its best if you use a green screen cloth material about 2 yards. its way better than green screen cardboard backdrop especially in windy outdoor situations.

[@silvesterwisdom9706]

Long video but it's worth the time 🤠

[@fredmaxmz]

Thank you very much for the lessons today!

[@Sk8luv33]

Some great pointers 🔥🔥🔥

[@JuiceandToya]

Seeing an entire breakdown like this is so helpful, even for us in the health and fitness space. We've taken a lot of inspiration from your creative process the last few years and it has taken the production value of our YT channel and business to a whole new level. Thank you for sharing and keep doing what you do! - Juice

[@paulg3388]

I’ve written and produced music for 30 odd years, but never really thought about the whole process of making a music video. Having got into Davinci and Videography I fell upon this video and man I have a lot of respect for what you do and your whole process ! Very inspiring and I don’t think I’ll ever make a music video but if I did … ya know :-)

[@CreateToCreateTV]

For green screen try clicking sample color & drawing a sample of the clip & it usually helps a little more than the sliders! Hope this helps if you haven’t tried already 🙏🏾

[@nate42]

Here's a green screen tip I picked up along the way. If your subject is taking up more vertical space than horizontal (like standing), turn your camera sideways so you capture more resolution of the actual subject rather than the surrounding space. Great video as always!

[@YCImaging]

This is actually genius!

[@nate42]

@@YCImaging Wish I could take credit. Just passing along what I learned somewhere.

[@unique863]

@@nate42 good tip.. have to watch what lens is being used and the angle you shoot at though because cameras naturally have warp distortion around the sides and when you rotate the camera the head shot gets that distortion.

[@ShawnyBGolf]

Seriously, such an invaluable video. So helpful to learn from someone’s else’s workflow and work process. Also to know not everything doesn’t always go as planned haha. Thank you so much for sharing. Best use of 30 mins today. Haha

[@anthonyroy7004]

Great job, thanks. Get yourself a green sheet to use outside as your green screen. If it's to thin and you can see through it attached a black fabric to it.

[@KristophTy]

Thank You man. Im currently setting up to shoot my 1st Music Video with an amazing artist named LA1DRE. So Videos like this are SUPER HELPFUL!

[@lif3sentenc3entmedia]

This the best videos of the year from a videographer. If possible, do more. This so much detail and it’s so original. One of the best videos I’ve seen from you and I’ve been following since you made the video about how much u make from a 10k music video

[@YCImaging]

Dang man I appreciate that, just tryna inspire bro!

[@elkapoteverdadero]

de locosssssssssssss, buen contenido

[@kolbyjackson956]

good being back to YC this is where i started . i’m back now after 4yrs

[@darealphantom]

Been watching your channel for like almost 5 years now and I’ve learned SO MUCH from you this video is pure perfection and so helpful I’m definitely going to watch it a bunch of times and share it

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate that!

[@ElijahJacksonPhoto]

I like these type of videos hopefully there’s more of it!

[@danifortune007]

Excited for this!!

[@lexvidzproductions9466]

Mannn you did ya thang!!! Crazy dope, creative thinking out side of the box. Love how you do it

[@HardwiredMusicMaker]

Great video, thanks for sharing your breakdown of this one. I'd love to see more like it.

[@joba858]

This video was hella entertaining and inspiring. I finally found somebody who goes over every part of this process (:

[@NathanVMountain]

Would have probably been easier to ditch the green screen altogether and then rotoscope him in post, basically swapping the work on set for more work in the edit but you get a cleaner result in the end, still a pretty dope music video though! 🙌

[@NathanVMountain]

@YClmaging1. Hey, no I didn't, please leave scammer 😄

[@Doghousemurphday]

Thanks for sharing your work flow man. Pretty sick! Do u have a link to cosmos? Is it a plug-in?

[@myeishawalker220]

informative and inspirational! i’m about to start back shooting music videos.

[@Cineinsaner]

2:13 😍😍 man this is awesome.. i always wonder how they shoot slow mo lip sync in song.. but still wonder how does this work in post

[@baakya27]

Awesome insight !

[@iseehd]

The visual was fire 🔥 and these types of vlogs. And them shots next level 🤘🏾🔥

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate it!

[@bruceb.5]

Informative and inspirational as always appreciate the knowledge 🙌🏾

[@alex_lionspaw]

Really appreciate sharing your creative process. Knowing how you think helps to learn and to pay attention 🙏🏻 thank you☺️🇨🇿

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate it you checking the video out!

[@kelwinkwel]

Great work 🎉🎉🎉

[@chadwickwatkins6272]

Are you gonna make mvfx avail for premiere pro users? Enjoy your work btw!

[@jayjackson6849]

RESPECT!! Enjoyed your video and your overall love for the art!! Keep filming!!

[@ViergeverProds]

maybe i missed it but how did you create the shadow for the door scene? (so of the person rapping/singing.)

[@byronjohnson8346]

EXELLENCE JOB BREAKING DOWN THE CONCEPTS IN A SIMPLISTIC FORM. THANK YOU ENORMOUSLY. STAY UP

[@theevolutionists8450]

Thank you for this, it was great seeing your thought processes

[@Stedmen]

Yo keep dropping videos like this. I enjoyed it.

[@JimLifts]

The small monitor on the canon rig looks funny , awesome video btw!

[@ridiculosvisuals9921]

Really dope video bro I learned a lot from this

[@nor.cal.explorin]

Love your behind the scenes vids. Great job man. U r an inspiration

[@Jay_so_fly01]

I don't know that i'll ever need this but just in case it's going in my favs. Your work is crazy good man!

[@JovanteGray]

Idea i had i like the door way shot definitely inspired me and i like you used the chair for the floating effect if its a regular folding chair could it work spray painting it to match the green screen color to make it easier to key out?

[@SaurianKing_]

Amazing video. And the fact you talked through the slo-mo frame rate conversions is such a sign. As I'm using this technique this weekend for a music video. In regards to keying for the floating shot. If you didn't want the chair - you could've used a stool draped in fabric green screen. Might've eliminated your problem with having the chair. But the final outcome was great, regardless. 10/10 Video. Long time subscriber and you just show time and time again why you're one of the best and informative content creators out there.

[@hamzaalamin]

How did I sit here for 30min watching this and not notice till he started saying the outro 😂

[@pinefilms3141]

those floating, glowing doors and the floating chair🔥🔥🔥

[@luucamNY]

For the green screen not being perfect on the shoes part what you can do is roto scope since it’s on a green screen rotoscope works just as good as green screen

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate the tip!

[@rickforeign]

what video editing software did you use

[@ikonicmediagroup7039]

The steps to this wasn't easy at first with green screen but it ended up working out for the best .gave me a lot of ideas to as well great stuff bro...Very Inspirational for me as a Beginner

[@KdotMedia]

Where did you get the backdrop for the slomo performance shot in the garage ?

[@YCImaging]

I just added it to the description, it's canvas.

[@Bexgotthebounce]

unlock the layer in photoshop, then under quick actions hit remove background.

[@crabfilms4031]

so interesting how you work! I Love IT! Thanks

[@bartabz2199]

You should try out a fabric green screen?

[@ZaeShotThat]

What monitor did you use ?

[@JimmyBlanco]

A glow wrap on the subject would've really took the doorway shot up a level and made it look less green screen, it's fairly easy to do in After effects i'm not sure about FCP tho

[@YCImaging]

I like this idea, originally I had a much stronger wrap but I dialed it back.

[@kangwadicksondkay]

Awesome, kindly share the link of the full ideo i want to watch it.

[@GRININMCKINNONFILMS]

So in depth! Super helpful behind the scenes! Loved this! 💯

[@YCImaging]

I appreciate it!

[@jabarih_1]

I noticed you went handheld instead of gimbal on this one coach. How do you determine which to use?

[@AN1M3JUNK13]

😂😂😂😂 man that chair tilted on that cheap table had my heart pounding that was super unsafe creative but man that could’ve gone wrong quickly 😂

[@Tanoaproductionsfiji]

Bro you had in the first 5 seconds.. Top quality and Good vibes.. Sub for sure!

[@ldonz1]

Super dope video bro. Really inspiring and interesting. More of these if you can I know it took a lot of work, I appreciate your time king

[@CalineApollo]

I love your video . Are you shooting in manuel mode or AF ?

[@YCImaging]

Thanks! I use manual 99% of the time.

[@emmanuelsey-xy2qe]

Can you use phone for film...if yes how

[@ihustlemuzikfilms]

U should try the Boris fx green screen key that program will key out a bad green screen as well

[@YCImaging]

I'm gonna look into it.

[@Cineinsaner]

i cant expalin how informative this video is .. tysm for full bts love your videos

[@fredmaxmz]

I learned a lot today!

[@YCImaging]

That's dope man, i'm glad you checked it out.

[@fredmaxmz]

@YCImaging wow! First day I got your reply ❤️

[@jdavevisuals]

Let's goooooo!

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Bro you are wild for standing on that table 😂 That looked pretty sketch! Great video man love you diving into some vfx

[@KBDarell]

Thank you for this! I appreciate it! And you did awesome with green screen. I first dabbled back in 2011 and still learning. Thanks so much for sharing,you’ve always been transparent. You are appreciated 👌🏾🙏🏾

[@alllove128]

Where can I find the instrumental at 5:26? I will like to write to that sound

[@kornillus16]

10 seconds in, paused the video, went to get my notepad. Thank you for this right video at the right time!

[@filmmadetv]

Thank you man, your class was awesome for me and I learned.

[@LearnAsUGrow501]

0:40 Inside is better just match lighting., Green-screen. Put them in it. Video the Area. Then add them.

[@LearnAsUGrow501]

2:56 have you though of a hammock style make it green, then with normal masking? use Green Tie Rope to pull where you want the subject to sit and you can angle it with the lines. thinking out side. I am learning but taking action it has been over 6 years since I have done any after effects stuff. Learning as i go with the Idea id GO. or add modern A.I. you can remove it and fill gen the backside. We live in such interesting times we can make anything we think now.

[@MORPHPICTURES-m7c]

Thank you for this incredible breakdown 💯🔥

Yo big ups 💪🏾 thanks for sharing I just got started and as you know its some many thing to know and get I love that you juat put it out there and take the time to explain thank you respect salute ✌🏾♥️💪🏾

[@WillDesignLLC]

blue screen would have worked better for the outside to match the light. But i appreciate your work. good job bro

[@GarryEWright]

This was great!!

[@TonyCyrus7]

💯💯💯

[@momarleey]

Thank very much for the story, give me more motivation ❤️

[@jacintomunjovo]

good evening YCImaging which application do you use to remove the screen to see

[@Outlawes]

What is the diffusion plugin you mention at 13:31?

[@YCImaging]

It’s in the mMusicVideo 2 plug-in I mentioned.

[@b29ak2007]

use a curtain or sheet next time.... for the green screen in the street... also cant wait to watch this

[@vidailypro]

Superb superb superrrbb good luck....

[@vidailypro]

@YClmaging1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it’s funny

[@KoelAnderson]

🔥 another 1

[@dustincdouglas2290]

What’s the name of the music on 9:58 mark?? Great behind the scenes btw

[@Actingclasses66]

Great work 👍

[@unbound_classic]

So Hawaiki Keyer for FCP is a FAR more powerful keyer. FCP's native keyed is very basic. It's more work work with Hawaiki but the result can be fantastic. Great work man!

[@Lifeisripe]

Bro you gotta start rotoscoping instead of green screening. This has changed my life.

[@YCImaging]

I gotta look into it!

[@andrew_nayes]

2:26 how do you film at 36fps? Are there cameras that lets you choose the specific frame rates? 🤔😕

[@YCImaging]

Yeah, most of the LUMIX cameras give you that option and the majority of cinema cameras as well

[@andrew_nayes]

@@YCImaging Is this available under Slow & Fast settings? I've never encounter this under the normal settings, but I haven't experimented with S&F before.

[@ChrisLeung]

YC are you going to make the mMUSIC VIDEO 2 Plugin for Premiere Pro?

[@YCImaging]

Not sure, I’ll ask MotionVFX about it.

[@ChrisLeung]

@@YCImaging Thanks, looking forward to an update.

[@109pix]

youre a great editor
