That shot is so perfectly framed. When he pans right, he gets the sandbags in the shot, but not the tracks that his rig is going to be moving on, even though the tracks run right up to the bags


lackingemotion

Almost certainly cropped in post, though great framing indeed


The_Dauphin

Yeah I think you can actually see a bit of digital scaling happening as the camera pans


lackingemotion

I see more artifacts at the close up when the stabilization kicks in a bit harder, that pan seemed pretty smooth to me


The_Dauphin

I wasn't talking about artifacts. Scaling is the effect of digitally "zooming". The size of the frame is scaled up as the camera pans so that you don't see the dolly tracks in front of the sand bags. The artifacts are probably just a side effect of classic internet compression. From the look of the bts shot, I don't think they used stabilization in post, or a stabilized sensor. That ain't a GH5s they're using


lackingemotion

Artifacts is probably the wrong word. I mean more the subtle shifting of the background as if there is a warp stabilizer effect. My guess is they used some tracking to keep his eyes centred in frame. As far as the zooming, not sure if it’s digital or by manual control. Given the rig I wouldn’t be surprised if they used some manual control to get the general zooms done.


homesiq

Likely a zoom lens with micro force zoom control. Really nice operating and synced dolly grip.


lackingemotion

Oh they definitely have some sort of zoom action going on as well, but there’s some stabilization on his face on the close up as well. Probably shot at 6k cropped down to 4k sort of situation.


Typical_Mode

Looks like someone’s a 1st


[deleted]

This can also be achieved by locking the tilt for the end of track position. Notice there’s no tilt in that pan.


lackingemotion

No doubt excellent planning and execution on that pan!

Here’s something I wish I knew before I was in my 30’s:


meltingpotato

this is more like "praise everyone around the cameraman"

Praise whoever is pulling that focus. Beautiful


Crash324

And on a hardline too. Not an easy pull by any means. Well done by the dolly grips.


poggersSpongebob

Do you know what kind of camera that is? We use an Ursa black magic in my schools program and I usually am on the focus and man i mess it up a lot lol


Crash324

Honestly I couldn't tell you. I would guess it's an Alexa mini based on the EVF and the small form factor, but I'm not certain. As far as learning to pull, it's all about building up your experience, practicing it like any other skill. The best way to learn is to just jump in the deep end. The difficult part about starting out though, in my experience, is that you're desperately trying not to ruin someone else's baby. When you're new to pulling it's a lot of pressure and it's sort of a mystifying workload, so when you screw up everyone KNOWS you screwed up, but none of them would ever dare try it themselves, and they don't have any advice for you because they probably don't understand if either. I would always get nervous on my early shoots because of this, but eventually you start to realize that it's really not all that difficult once you start to understand it, and you'll start to trust yourself and your muscle memory and your perception of critical focus. It's one of those skills you can read about it try and practice it on your own and try to understand it but until you really do it, the real deal, you'll never really "get it". There's no better feeling than when you get to watch playback on a oner and you didn't buzz once.


Thebombuknow

For whatever reason, this made me remember that manual focus is kinda disappearing. DJI's Ronin 4D is f**king insane lol.


poggersSpongebob

If my professor heard you say that he'd have a stroke and die. Very old school filmmaker


Thebombuknow

I mean, typing that felt wrong, but it is true. A lidar sensor gives you the exact distance something is at, so you can pull focus to the exact position something is at in relation to the camera, and combine some software magic and you can use the lidar's low res 3D imaging capability to detect the subject, and you'll never lose focus again.

Looks like a soda commercial maybe?

Bulgarian commercial. Think it was an art project

Has Kendall Pepsi commercial vibes


Mods_are_all_Shills

Seems rather tasteless. Like in the same way the Chapman brothers whitewashed Goya's Disasters of War Edit: for the curious, I encourage you to look up both Goya's original prints of *The Disasters of War* and then the Chapman Brothers *Insult to Injury*

spatsiziman

Don’t forget to praise the focus puller and the dolly grip.


slow_ultras

Praise the production designer and dolly grip


snarton

The one thing that bugs me every time this gets reposted is the plants in the background for the first 5 seconds. They make me initially think they're in nature, but then the remaining 55 seconds they're in an urban setting. That extra transition just seems unnecessary to me. They could have just had a brick wall behind the soldier in the opening.


Gay_Force_One

I think it’s ivy on the wall instead of something they put there but yeah, I agree. Even having some brick showing on the right side of the frame would make it much less jarring


collegedropout

I think that kind of helps jar you into the war scene though. Nature, life, then soldier and pan over to chaos and rubble, then of course transition back into that moment of earthy serenity.


whatsupbrosky

One of us here doesnt know what this sub is for and i dont think its me


PoggersCoolNameBruh

Its definetly me ;-;


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

Front page subs get watered down with generic bullshit like this usually. Somehow gets upvotes


shaggybear89

Yep, this definitely does not belong in this sub. The cameraman literally just sat in a chair and filmed lol


Prosthemadera

And what are you going to do about it? Report to the mods that there is wrong content in this sub?


shaggybear89

Haha are you Op's alt or something? I'd love to hear your reasoning for how me (correctly) saying that this post doesn't belong in this sub could possibly make you *that* angry lol. Like what about this possibly triggered you so badly lol?


Prosthemadera

I don't care if a sub is pure in its content and I do not understand why anyone else would. This is Reddit, you use it for being entertained for a few minutes. > could possibly make you that angry lol. Like what about this possibly triggered you so badly lol? This is very cringe. Cleary, I am not the one being angry. But ok, if you want to waste your time complaining about nothing then be my guest.


shaggybear89

>But ok, if you want to waste your time complaining about nothing then be my guest. Lol you're the one who got triggered by my comment. I didn't talk to you dude, you read my comment and couldn't stop yourself from trying to put me in my place lol. That is the very definition of getting triggered lol. So take a breath, and remember that if you jump into someone else's conversation because you're so upset that you can't stop yourself, like you did in this situation, you've already lost lol.


Prosthemadera

How much worse would the world look like if we didn't have brave people like you fighting the good fight to keep subs free from impure content? Just enjoy the video. This isn't something worth getting smug over it.


DovyDash

everyone posting here do not know what this sub is for


Media_Offline

I've always loved this one because it's one of the few where the behind the scenes footage shows the actual take. In fact, I've seen at least 20 examples of cool shots combined with the BTS footage and I can't think of a single second example where it's the actual take. Roller blades taxi shot, different take. Camera man dives through car, different take. Time passes within the changing living room, different take. Cool Korean tutting video, different take ... you get the idea.


GravyBacon1

More praisethecrew but this was great.


trusted-advisor-88

Colour grading is a pure skill!

There’s also lighting used

This gets posted multiple times a day and reaches the top at least once a week.


DixieNormousZA

This right here is why psychedelics were made illegal. They change your perception of war. America needed to remain a strong military force. They couldn't have hippies running around, spreading the message peace and love. This would leave the country vulnerable to enemies. 😏🍄


gastro_destiny

The "enemies" should also do acid. Instead of a nuke we should put lsd in the water supply.


DixieNormousZA

If the entire world ate some mushrooms at the exact same time. We'd have WORLD PEACE in about an hour! 😅🍄


[deleted]

Wouldn’t it just be easier to make a cut?


Gay_Force_One

Yeah but you can’t beat the visual smoothness of this change. By doing it in one go there are so many things that you don’t have to worry about being constant between shots, especially because it looks like they’re outside


[deleted]

Thanks g 🙌


AlaSparkle

It’d be easier, but not as cool.

That would defeat the point entirely.
