-: All right. 2 2
And you'll notice that I've got another camera angle here. 3 3
That's called B-Roll. 4 4
It's always good to have multiple cameras if you can. 5 5
If you have an extra camera, that is, 6 6
when you're recording videos. 7 7
It's just nicer for transitions and so. 8 8
I'm using my iPhone there at 24 frames per second in 4k. 9 9
And I'm just setting this up here. 10 10
And I'm going to show you the Ronin device as well, 11 11
that I'm gonna put it on. 12 12
Now it's important that you film in 4k if you can, 13 13
even if you're not gonna upload in 4k. 14 14
And the reason is, 15 15
4k has a lot more information on the screen. 16 16
So if I zoom in to my face a bit more, 17 17
like I'm doing right now. 18 18
You can see that the resolution is still decent. 19 19
If you're shooting at 1080p, which is less than 4k, 20 20
it wouldn't look as good. 21 21
Plus I want to future proof everything. 22 22
So I try to film everything in 4k. 23 23
All right so we're ready to go with 24 24
this device here to record. 25 25
I just want to show you a Gimbal device 26 26
that I use sometimes, and so let me just take this out here. 27 27
I know I'm gonna get some negative comments 28 28
for being disorganized, that's okay. 29 29
I just wanna help. Laugh at me if you want, not with me. 30 30
All right so this here is a product 31 31
called the Ronin-S, okay. 32 32
And this is what's called a Gimbal, okay. 33 33
Which means a thing you can kind of hold, 34 34
and it will stabilize your video. 35 35
So I'm gonna screw this in here to the bottom, okay. 36 36
And this here is actually the battery. 37 37
And this will act as a stand. 38 38
It's like that octopus character, the bad dude on Spiderman. 39 39
And then this here is where you mount your camera. 40 40
And so what you can do, 41 41
is you just basically take this here, 42 42
and you mount it there, like that. That's it. 43 43
That's it okay. And you can latch it in, 44 44
and then you can put your camera on. 45 45
But you're gonna have to balance the camera as well, 46 46
in order to use this okay. 47 47
And this here has got a couple different ways 48 48
to move around, okay. 49 49
It can pan up, down, left, right, and all that good stuff. 50 50
Okay so I'm gonna put this down now, 51 51
and I'm gonna actually go and get 52 52
a little tray to put it on, okay. 53 53
Yeah we'll use this one here, this is great. Okay, close. 54 54
So what I'm gonna do is, 55 55
I'm actually going to mount this on my camera, 56 56
on the bottom, okay. 57 57
And this is how I filmed 58 58
the promotional trailer for this course. 59 59
Okay and some of you might be thinking, 60 60
Chris why are you using a battery, 61 61
why don't you just plug it in? 62 62
Yeah you can do that actually. 63 63
And I've got a little device here, this here. 64 64
It's actually a battery that comes with a cable, 65 65
that you can put in to the trap door here. 66 66
And there's a little rubber thing you 67 67
can take off from most cameras, 68 68
so you can plug the little charger in to this, 69 69
and you plug it in to the wall. 70 70
But it will still turn off after 29 minutes, 71 71
but the battery will stay great. 72 72
Okay I'll put this away here, if you have questions 73 73
about that, please let me know. 74 74
But here's where you can get that product on Amazon. 75 75
I've got it for my Nikon camera, for my Sony. 76 76
You can get it for any camera. 77 77
Okay, great. 78 78
So I'm screwing this in here, 79 79
and ideally you'd use a screwdriver, 80 80
but I just use my fingers, okay. 81 81
And by the way, this little thing here is to stop the sun. 82 82
You know when you get sun spots 83 83
sometimes when you take videos, this will kind of help, 84 84
kind of like a baseball hat, to block that. 85 85
And you can also use what are called ND, 86 86
or neutral density filters. 87 87
If you have questions about that, please let me know. 88 88
But I don't know why I'm trying to put it back on, 89 89
we're filming indoors. 90 90
(laughs) 91 91
all right, I'll take this here, good. 92 92
(grunts) 93 93
And now I'm gonna put it directly in to this Ronin device, 94 94
so that I can use the main camera up there. 95 95
This will be my A camera, and you, 96 96
my iPhone propped against the window there, 97 97
you'll be my B camera, and we'll add more cameras soon, too. 98 98
All right so I'm gonna put this in here, 99 99
and actually, I'm gonna actually move over here. 100 100
A little bit closer, so you can see it. 101 101
So what I'm gonna do is, 102 102
I'm gonna put this in here, and then balance it. 103 103
And it takes a little while to balance it sometimes, 104 104
but it, once you get it set up it's amazing. 105 105
It's amazing. All right. 106 106
All right. 107 107
Good. 108 108
All right great, it's on there. 109 109
And now I'm going to turn on this Ronin device 110 110
so I can balance it, it's off right now. 111 111
And when you want to balance it, 112 112
you always want to make sure that it's in the exact same 113 113
format that you're gonna use when you record. 114 114
So make sure that this little thing is open, 115 115
this little display screen. 116 116
Otherwise you'll have to rebalance. Okay. 117 117
So I'll turn it on, 118 118
let me just screw it in a little bit tighter there. 119 119
(grunts) 120 120
Okay so you turn on the battery part first, down here. 121 121
Hold your finger down, good. 122 122
Okay and then there is another button 123 123
you're gonna push right over here, okay. 124 124
Hold your finger down. 125 125
(camera beeps) 126 126
Ah, there we go. 127 127
okay great. So now it's on. 128 128
And it's already balanced. 129 129
I've done this before, 130 130
but the way you would balance it, in general is. 131 131
Actually I'll show you from scratch. 132 132
Let's do this for fun. 133 133
Let me first of all turn this off, 134 134
and I'll go in to high speed mode, 135 135
and I'll balance this for you. 136 136
Okay great, that's good enough. 137 137
So it's off right now, and it's balanced. 138 138
So let me go and turn it on now. 139 139
(camera beeps) 140 140
Great, cool. 141 141
And what you can do, 142 142
is you can hold it up like this, take it with you. 143 143
It's a little bit heavy, but I think it's great. 144 144
So what I'm gonna do, is I'm gonna go back here. 145 145
And I'm actually going to record, 146 146
let's keep it on Auto mode for now, just for fun. 147 147
So see here, I'm choosing Auto mode, okay. 148 148
Auto, good. And that's Manual down there. 149 149
And then what I'm gonna do is, 150 150
I'm just gonna click record and that's it. 151 151
And then I'll put it up on the desk there, 152 152
so we have another camera. 153 153
And when you're using this thing, 154 154
you can turn this around obviously so you can see yourself. 155 155
Pardon me, you go this way so you can see yourself. 156 156
See there, and let me zoom out as much as I can. 157 157
So that's me there, and it's a little bit dark, 158 158
you can't really see me that well right now, which is fine. 159 159
But what you do is, you can then move this around, 160 160
while it's facing you or away from you if you want, right. 161 161
Which is pretty cool. 162 162
And you can triple click to turn it around, 163 163
and then double click to go back. 164 164
It's pretty cool, it's a bit heavy though. 165 165
Okay, and you just control it here. 166 166
Okay, great. So I'm gonna put this up there now, 167 167
so that this will now be my A camera, 168 168
and you'll be, this iPhone here will be my B camera. 169 169
All right we got two cameras going, 170 170
and this is what the microphone sounds like on top 171 171
of that Canon camera, meaning the Rode microphone. 172 172
The Shotgun microphone. 173 173
This is what it sounds like coming 174 174
from that iPhone over there. 175 175
And this is what the sound quality 176 176
sounds like from my Lavalier, which is my favorite here. 177 177
Using the H1 and zoom device. 178 178
Okay great, we're making good progress. 179 179
So now what we're gonna do, 180 180
is we're gonna set up a GoPro, okay. 181 181
And the thing about GoPro's which are great, 182 182
is that they take a very, very wide angle shot. 183 183
And that's great so that you can crop in if you want to, 184 184
or zoom in later when you're editing your videos. 185 185
And so this is a GoPro Hero 7, 186 186
I always take the trap door off, 187 187
because I never take this thing in the water anyway. 188 188
And what you can do is, you can set it up on wide view, 189 189
and super wide view. Or Linear view. 190 190
And I'll show you what all 191 191
three of those look like right now. 192 192
So I'm now filming this at 4k, 24 frames per second. 193 193
And I'm also filming it in Wide Mode. 194 194
And it's got automatic stabilization on many settings, 195 195
not all the 4k settings. But it's pretty cool. 196 196
It's pretty cool, so now what I'm gonna do is, 197 197
I'll stop this video. 198 198
We've got three cameras going now, this is dope. 199 199
And then what I'll do, is I'm now going to 200 200
change the angle to Super View, okay. 201 201
And I'm now going to hit record. 202 202
So that's a little bit more angle. 203 203
It's pretty cool, but you got that 204 204
fish eye lens warped look to it. 205 205
So let me now change resolutions, I'm gonna stop this here. 206 206
And you can vlog with this camera too, 207 207
it's actually a really good vlogging camera. 208 208
You can't see what you're doing, 209 209
it's just a matter of time 210 210
till they add a screen to the front here, 211 211
like competitor DJI has done with a similar device. 212 212
You can't see yourself. 213 213
That's okay because this thing is wide enough, 214 214
so that you'll be in the picture when you edit. 215 215
So what I'm gonna do now, 216 216
is I'm actually gonna go to a lower resolution format. 217 217
Meaning 2.7k, and I'm actually 218 218
going to change this to linear. 219 219
And Linear Mode means just regular mode. 220 220
So here's linear, yeah. 221 221
So as you can see Linear Mode is just, 222 222
all the lines are the way they should be right. 223 223
This isn't getting warped. 224 224
And this is a pretty cool camera, 225 225
you know GoPro's done a great job with this camera here. 226 226
A lot of people think they're gonna go out of business 227 227
because you can just use your iPhone, et cetera. 228 228
But there is still a lot of cool things 229 229
you can do with this, 230 230
especially if you're into extreme sports. 231 231
So what I'm gonna do now, 232 232
is I'm actually going to mount this 233 233
and I've got this device here. 234 234
And you can get a lot of really cheap accessories, 235 235
you can pay like 20 bucks, 236 236
for an entire set of 50 accessories for example. 237 237
As you can see in this link here. 238 238
Using all these accessories is pretty intuitive, 239 239
so I'm not really gonna go in to much detail on that. 240 240
But I bought this little clamp device here, 241 241
and I'll provide you a link to this, 242 242
as I do with everything else. 243 243
So what I'm gonna do actually is, 244 244
I'm gonna clamp this up high. 245 245
And I'm gonna record everything up high, 246 246
so I can transition between three cameras now, 247 247
and we'll add a fourth, and maybe a fifth soon. 248 248
So let me just get this in here. 249 249
Keeping it real. 250 250
And the audio's not that great on the GoPro, 251 251
but I have a separate audio device if I want to use it 252 252
to record higher quality audio. 253 253
But I actually prefer just using this Lavalier all the time. 254 254
And then what I do is, before I record. 255 255
I'll just put this aside here. 256 256
Before I record, what I do is, 257 257
or after I hit the record button, I always go like this. 258 258
(claps) 259 259
Because that way I can line up the audio, 260 260
with all these cameras here as well. Okay. 261 261
So what I'll do, is I'm gonna clip this. 262 262
Oh it's a beautiful day outside, yeah. 263 263
I'm gonna clip this up there, 264 264
so that we have a third angle now. 265 265
Okay. All right, and I'm gonna put the GoPro up here, 266 266
and that'll be kind of a nice angle. 267 267
I'll just leave it up there for a couple hours. Great, cool. 268 268
The great thing is you can crop that later, if you want to. 269 269
All right, great. So we've got an A camera, right there. 270 270
We've got a B camera, and another B camera up there. 271 271
Okay, great progress. 272 272
Okay I've showed you GoPro, 273 273
and whenever you buy accessories, 274 274
buy everything from other companies. 275 275
Don't use GoPro, cause GoPro's prices 276 276
are too high for accessories, except the batteries. 277 277
Try to get GoPro branded batteries if you can. 278 278
And again, make sure that you use, you know. 279 279
Higher end cards if you can. 280 280
So try to use SanDisk cards, if you can, okay.
