1. Introduction: Hey guys, thank you so much for being here and
joining me today for my Skillshare class on how to shoot professional real
estate videography. It's going to be awesome and I can't wait to share with you all my tips and tricks on how I shoot professional
video for real estate. To kick things off, I wanted
to start by showing you a quick one-minute reel of my past work of just a
few homes that I've shot. [MUSIC] Well, I hope you enjoyed that. Real quick, let me tell
you a little bit about myself and the
journey that I took to get into professional
videography for real estate and
luxury properties. Just so you have a
little bit of background about me before moving forward. Now, I've been shooting
real estate, commercial, and luxury properties
for half a decade now. Although my
professional background was in the broadcast industry, working for agencies
like CBS, FOX, FSM, CSN, and some independent O&Os, I often found myself
moonlighting as a freelancer and doing work on the side to make
some extra money. When I finally decided
to quit my job and go full-time doing what I love, I quickly learned that real estate videography
was my specialty. I have literally
shot hundreds of homes from your
average three-bedroom, two-bath family
dwelling, to something more extravagant like a 20,000 square foot custom home-built. But no matter the
home or the property, the principles you'll learn in this course will give
you the fundamental, foundational know-how of how to shoot beautiful professional
real estate videos. Honestly, this is
the course I wish I had when I had started
doing real estate videos. This course will give you the confidence to
walk into a home, assess what needs to be shot,
shoot it professionally, which will give you the assets you need to produce a high-end, high-quality property tour that your clients will
absolutely love. In the following videos, you're going to get to accompany me on a shoot I
did for a client, and I'm going to
walk you through my entire shoot process. We're going to talk
about what we need to do before we shoot. We're going to talk about what gear you're going to need, and what gear I personally use, what my exact camera
settings are, and the formulas
I've come up with for each individual
room of the house. After this course,
you'll be able to use the principles I'll
be showing you for the next real estate video shoot no matter what kind
of house it is. Again, I'm so excited you're here from my Skillshare class on how to shoot professional
real estate videos. Let's go ahead and get started.
2. Our Project: All right everyone. After
taking this course, you're going to be able to
have the tools necessary to shoot residential real
estate properties. The assignment for this course
is to shoot your own home. It could be a three-bedroom, two baths, single-story home. It may be a townhouse, an apartment, maybe it's
just a studio space. It doesn't matter because
the methods I show you in my course are universally applicable in all
those situations. So here's what I want you to do. First, watch my course. I take you with me on
a real-world shoot in a spectacular home. Consider it like a field trip and you're going
along for the ride. Then I want you to pull out your own camera and shoot
your home with my techniques. Set your camera
settings like mine, and shoot like how I
teach you in my course. Finally, I want you to
put it all together in a final edit and export that
movie for all of us to see. Now, for those of you who may feel uncomfortable
shooting your own home, you're welcome to reach
out to a friend or a neighbor who wouldn't
mind you shooting theirs. But remember, this is
just so you can get familiar with how to properly
shoot professionally. So sit back, grab a notepad
to jot down a few notes, and join me now as
we shoot this home.
3. Gear Overview: In this video, we're going to talk about the
equipment you'll need in order to shoot professional
real estate videos. Now obviously this is a very preferential topic as we all have our own difference
of opinion on gear. My goal here is to show you
what I use professionally and what camera specs I need in order to achieve the look
that I'm looking for. The principles I teach
are universal truths and can translate similarly
towards different gear. Our job as users is
to push our gear to their limits and respect
those limitations. Gear is constantly changing and evolving from year to year and I'm not here as a representative or
advocate for any company. Full disclosure, no
company has sponsored me, given me free gear to evaluate or review or
anything like that, this is literally just
from my personal research, hours of gear hunting, and good old-fashioned
trial and error. I've come to my decision on gear over a long period of time, shooting various kinds of property in lots of
different situations. Quite honestly, I'm very, very happy with the
decisions I've made. When choosing a camera,
I find it best for it to have the capability
to shoot in 4k, 60 frames per second, and also have the
ability to shoot in a flat or raw
picture profile. You can also shoot in 1080P, 60 frames per second, but I've really come to
appreciate what 4K can do in terms of detail and sharpness in the
post-production workflow. Even though the majority
of my clients ask for a web friendly
video deliverable, which usually means 1080HD, I still shoot it in 4K, then export it in 1080 just so I can pack in all that
beautiful information initially from the 4K
resolution,and then export the final
deliverable in 1080. My camera of choice is the
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K. 4K 60 is no problem for this
camera and I personally love shooting in BRAW in the film picture profile
for grading and post. There are a host of
cameras that can shoot in 4K 60 or even 1080 60. I'm not going to
list them all here, but just know that you have options
depending on your budget. I'm not here to tell you
to buy the newest camera, but I am telling you to buy
one that can ideally shoot in 4K or in 1080HD in 60
frames per second. Now, one of the main
reasons I bought the Blackmagic 4K was
because of price. You can hop online right now and get this camera
body for $1,300, which I think is quite the
steel for what you get. The reason we shoot in 60 frames per second is because we're going to use that
high frame rate and slow it down and post. Some students have asked, why can't we just
shoot in 4K 30 and then slow down the
30 into 24 and post? Wouldn't it be
technically slowed down? The answer is yes, but I've tried this and
the results get varied. Sometimes I can get the shot, but more often than not, I'm either walking too fast
or even too slow because I'm trying to compensate for
speed during the shoot. The bottom line is just don't shoot in
30 frames per second. Yes, I've been able
to hack it to work, but it's more work
than it's worth. I'd suggest shooting in 1080, 60 frames per second instead
and getting that buttery, smooth 60 frames per second. Now, once you've
chosen a camera body, it's time to fit it
with the proper lens. The majority of your shots, if not all of them, will be
shot on a wide angle lens. Your wide angle should
be in the range of a 14 millimeter to 16 millimeter
full-frame equivalent. Now, this obviously depends on the sensor
size of your camera. If you're shooting
on a full frame, like the Sony A7S3, then 14 millimeters is 14
millimeters on that camera. But 14 millimeter glass
on my Blackmagic is not 14 millimeter since I'm on
a micro four-third sensor. To get an acceptable
equivalent for a wide angle, I needed to purchase the
Laowa 7.5 millimeter F2.0, which is when you do the math is around a 50 millimeter
lens equivalent. I also love this lens for
how fast and sharp it is and also get that
zero distortion, which is so important for
real estate and interiors. Make sure to check your camera's manual online
technical description to find the sensor size of your camera before
purchasing your lens. For my detail lens, I chose to pair my Blackmagic
with the Panasonic Lumix professional 12-35 F2.8. I love this lens and it's
actually my go-to all around walkabout lens when I'm not shooting real
estate and videos. It has built-in image
stabilization and the picture quality of this
glass is just beautiful. This is also a native
micro four-thirds lens. Keep in mind that this, compared to a
full-frame equivalent, is like a 24-70. When I'm shooting on
a full-frame camera, I pair it with
either a 50 mil or it's 85 millimeter prime
for my detail shots. All you really need to shoot quality real estate
videos are two lenses, wide-angle lens that comes
out at around 14 millimeters and a tight or a detailed lens that's equivalent
to a 50 or an 85. For my gimbal, I chose the
DJI Ronin-S Essentials Kit. I mainly chose this because of the build quality
and its great price. You can pick up one of these for $500 and it's built like a tank. The charge lasts forever
on the battery and this particular
gamble can handle my pocket 4K like a champ. Be advised that if you
do decide to purchase this gamble with the
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K, that you will need to buy a small cheese plate adapter in order to properly
balance the 4K, as it's pretty
off-center without it. One piece of equipment
I always pair with my gimbal is a handle. This handle serves two purposes. One, it helps with the stabilization and
aiming of the rig, and two, it holds things. In this setup, I have
my handle holding the small rig NPF
battery adapter plate for longer shoot times. Last but not least, you'll need a drone for those
beautiful aerial shots. I fly the DJI Mavic 3 currently, but I have used the
Mavic Air 2 and the Mavic Mini for
professional work as well. The limitations of
the latter two are that they can't shoot in
4K 60 frames per second. I really like the stability and the reliability of the Mavic 3. I think that the sensor
on this drone provides a gorgeous result
when shooting in both harsh and
low-light conditions. Remember that if you're using this drone for business
and making money with it, that classifies you as a commercial pilot and
requires that you be part 107 certified to operate
your drone and know the regulations of the
airspace where you shoot. Again, I can't
stress this enough, it's up to you to get
properly licensed and lawfully registered with the FAA in order to commercially operate
your drone no matter how talented you feel or safe you feel when
flying your drone.
4. Camera Settings: In this video, I'll
walk you through what features and
settings to set up in your camera in preparation for professional real
estate video shooting. Again, I'm using the
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K. But if you're using
something different, the settings should
translate over. You'll need to refer to
your camera's manual to set it up similarly. Number 1. Set up your camera to shoot in 4K
at 60 frames per second. Again, if you can't
shoot in 4K 60, then you'll want to
set up your camera to at least shoot in 1080 60. This is how we get that
buttery smooth shot. Number 2. Go ahead and set
your shutter speed for 1/120 one your ISO at
its native setting, and your aperture at f8 ideally, my ISO is set at 400. Some cameras have
dual native ISOs for extra latitude when
shooting in low light. My particular camera
does have dual ISO. I can set it at 400 and
then I can set it at 1250. For aperture, I try to shoot at f8 to keep
everything in focus. In low light conditions, I'll push it as much as f4. In extreme conditions,
f2.8 or even f2.0. But the picture quality
really starts to lose sharpness and
detail really fast. Ideally, try to stay
within 5.6 or f8. When I'm outdoors,
usually I'm around f11. Number 3, you're going
to want to shoot in a flat picture profile for
maximum dynamic range. Since we're going to be
grading these shots and posts, you're going to want
to cram as much color information as possible, and shooting in a flat
picture profile will be key. In my case, shooting with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K, I'll be shooting in B-log. If you're on a Canon, see if your camera can
shoot in C-log. If you're on a Sony,
maybe S-log 3. But check your camera's
technical spec sheet to see if you can shoot in
a flat picture profile. Number 4. know how to
turn on your zebras. We've always got to keep
tabs on those highlights, so make sure you can keep
this function handy. Number 5, turn on grids and crosshairs if your cameras
support that option. This will aid immensely and
your framing and aiming. Refer to your camera's
manual if you have to, if you can't find this
feature, sometimes it's hidden pretty deep. Not all cameras will have
across your setting, but most are going
to have grids. Number 6. Know how to save
your settings as a preset. After you've worked so
hard to set it all up, make it a preset so
you don't have to keep doing it over and over. This is the best
time-saver of them all. Now, regarding your drone, your camera settings aren't
going to be much different. On my Mavic 3, I set my shutter at 1/120, my ISO around 100 or 200, and my aperture at around f8 or f11, depending
on the light. My video settings
are set to shoot at 4K 60 and I shoot in DGI's
flat picture profile D-log. I make sure to turn on my grids and my crosshairs
and also turn on my zebras to detect any
highlights. There you have it. Your cameras are now set to shoot professional
real estate videos. Ensuring that you have
your cameras set up initially beforehand
will save you in so many botched video shoots or even potential reshoots.
5. On Location: In the last videos we
talked about what gear you need and what settings
your camera should be on. Let's now go on location
to a shoot that I did for a recent client and put
all this into practice.
6. Where To Start: Right now it's
about 4:00 o'clock. Today, the sunset is
going to be at 7:30, so around 7:00
o'clock we need to be scrambling out and about here getting fires and water pits and all that good stuff
that's great for twilight. But right now, the outside
isn't that spectacular. We're not going to shoot
the outside just quite yet. What we needed to go ahead and do is we're going to
start inside the house. We're going to go and
start inside the house, and just like I said, we're
going to go ahead and talk about those room formulas. We're going to talk about the formula for how
to shoot a kitchen, the formula for how to
shoot a dining room, a bedroom, the master bedroom. I'm going to go
and share with you my secret formulas for how
to shoot every single room. Let's go ahead and go
inside the house and let's go ahead and start doing
those room formulas. I'm just about to
enter the home. The very first thing
before I enter a home, respect the house.
Remove those shoes. Make sure that
when you walk into these beautiful
multi-million dollar homes, that you don't wear
your shoes in them. Even when they say it's okay, I always take off my shoes. Respect the house,
respect the owners, and don't be tracking
any of that stuff in the house. Let's go and go in.
7. Terminology: Hi again. I know we're
about to enter the home, but I wanted to first define a few terms for
you really quick. Admittedly, the names
of these terms that describe my type of
shots that I use. I've literally made them up. But I use these made-up terms throughout the course as
I described the type of shot I'm doing and
I wanted to make sure that you understood
my terminology. Here are the types of
shots that I always use. Number 1, the
straight-on attack. This shot is where
I walk usually from one wall straight
towards another. Compositionally, I make sure I'm as much in the
center as possible, and normally ninja walk towards or away from
the opposite wall. I make sure my
verticals are perfectly straight as well
as my horizontals. Here's some examples of
straight-on attacks. Number 2, the angled attack and the angled
attack with drift. This shot is generally a
corner-to-corner shot of a room. It does not have to be
exactly corner to corner, but rather can be from
corner-ish to corner-ish. For a normal angled attack, just ninja walk from one corner across the room to
the other corner. I'd like to spice up this
angled attack with a drift. How the drift move works is
as you push into the room, using the handle
attached to the gimble, you steer the rig slightly to drift the
shot into the room. This adds a very
nice parallax effect while still dallying
into the room. Always make sure
your verticals are nice and straight
for these shots. Here are some examples of the angled attack and the
angled attack with drift. The third shot is what I
call the ceiling feature. For this shot, I point
the camera up at around a 45-degree angle and make a slighter arc
move with my body. This is a great shot
to feature ceilings, chandeliers, lighting fixtures, or really cool ceiling fans. But contrary to its name, the shot is not only for ceilings but is
actually perfect for any situation that calls
for the camera pointing up. I always use the shot when
shooting inside a shower. For example to feature the bath fixtures and
the tile and the glass. Here's some examples of
ceiling feature shots for you. Number 4, reveals this is one of the classic defining shots
of real estate videography. These shots require you to look at your
surroundings and use existing features of the home or furniture to reveal
other parts of the home. These shots help provide variety and creativity in
the final edit. Here's some examples of reveals. Finally, there are
detailed shots. So far, the last four shots I've described all use
the wide-angle lens. Detail shots are basically just slider shots done with
a gimbal on a tight lens. Details provide just
that more detail and a better in-depth
look at features of the home that you wish
to be emphasized. I usually do detailed
shots for living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and master bedrooms
and bathrooms. I can, and we'll also use the detailed
lens when shooting, a ceiling feature shot. Here are some examples
of some detail shots. In conclusion, the
five main types of shots I use are one, the straight-on attack
two the angle of attack, or the angle of
attack with drift. Three, the ceiling feature, and four reveals. Finally five details.
8. Taking A Cell Phone Tour: Guys, here we are at
the front of the house. The first things that we
absolutely need to do is get a quick cellphone tour. I call it a cell tour, but it can be a GoPro,
it can be your phone, it can be whatever but we
just need go ahead and make a reference video of this house. I'm going to go ahead
and grab my GoPro, and we're going to
go into this house, and we're just going
to walk it and talk it as a reference video. The whole reason why we do this is that it'll
be a good reference for me so that way I can recall where all the bedrooms are, and which bedrooms are which, on which floor or if I'm going to outsource
this to an editor, they'll have a way to be able
to mentally walk the house. I'm going to go grab my GoPro and we're going to go
ahead and do this.
9. Living Room: Here we are in the house. Let's go and talk about
this room formulas. Here we are in the grand living room.
It's absolutely gorgeous. We've got super high ceilings, beautiful centerpiece fireplace. The decor is amazing. How do we capture this? Let's
go ahead and start here. I'm going to just just
try a little bit higher. I just swung like that
lamp right there. I'm using my crosshairs to get
the bright into the middle of that chimney and I'm
going to move forward. Now notice I have my rule of
thirds on and that rule of thirds really allows me to
get the center of this room. That's our straight
on attack that way. I'm going to do an
angled attack in here. I'm going to look at my
camera settings real fast. I'm at 60 frames per second, 1/120th, ISO is at 400. I'm blowing out some
of the outside. Let's see about 5,600. I'm going to pull down to about 4,950 for my white balance. Let's see, my
aperture is at four. I'm going to go to 5.6 and try to recover some of that
detail from the outside. I'm liking that a
little bit better. Now I've got my crosshairs pointed at the
middle of the room. I'm going to go from corner
to corner and I'm just going to go ahead
and move 1,2,3,4. Now I keep my knees
bent and then walk as if you're about
to creep upon a tiger. That's usually what
I try to think. I'll keep that up and down
movement very minimal. I'm going to also
do it from this side,1,2,3,4,5, and 6. Very nice. I like this
straight on attack. Now this straight on attack, I wasn't going to do this,
but I am going to do it now. I really like this.
Very nice decor. It really shows off that window. Now this is a good
talk about exposure. What am I exposing for? Well, in this case, I want to show what's outside. Because I want to
show what's outside. I am going to expose
for the outside. In that case I'm going
to go and crank up my aperture because my zebras are telling me that
it's overexposed. I'm at F8, I'm going to go to F11 and I'm going to crank my
shutter to 1/240th. That's a little much so I'm
going to go back to 1/120th. I'm liking that. I'm
going to do my move. I'm going to make sure
all of my verticals and my horizontals look
nice and straight. The nice thing about these DJIs, is you can double-click and
it will reset your camera. My horizon line looks good
and my verticals look good. I'm going to go out and
do the move 2,3,4,5,6. I'm going to go and do an
angled attack right here. I'm liking this shot. I
wasn't going to do this shot. I'm going to go
back down to 5.6. I'm going to blow out
some of my exterior, because what I'm focusing
on is right here. It's okay that's
blown out because my focus is right
here in this room. I'm liking this shot. I'm going to go and try
to go nice and low. I got my crosshairs pointed at the other
corner and I'm going to do my move 1,2,3,4, and 5. Back 2,3,4, and 5. Now some of you might be
wondering why is he counting? I try to keep a consistent beat because since
I'm shooting this at four and 60
frames per second. Then I'm going to slow it
down on a 24 timeline. That's going to be
very slow. The key is to have very
consistent speeds. If you have that nice
consistent speed, it'll look nice and
smooth and ethereal when you do your move in post. I'm liking this shot
as well 1,2,3, and 4. One more time so 1,2,3,4, and 5. Very nice. Now while I'm here, I'm going to go ahead
and do an angled shot of my ceiling. I'm going to use my trigger. Point, my camera up out of 45 and I'm going to
do a semicircle move. My cursor is set towards
somewhat the middle of the room. Then now I'm going to
go ahead and try to do a nice wide arc, trying to keep that circle, or that cursor in the middle. I'm going to just do this. The way I'm moving my body
is I'm keeping my knees bent and I'm sliding my
arms from left to right. I'm going to do that same
shot over on this side. I like how I can use this
ceiling to reveal that ceiling. This lower ceiling is going
to reveal the upper ceiling. I'm going to just
move in and turn my camera as I reveal that roof. Beautiful. Let's see what it
looks like from this side. This one looks good. I'm
going to put my camera up. Move into the room and reveal that ceiling using
that lower ceiling. Over time, 2,4, and 5. We still have to shoot
details of this room. Now normally what you can
do is you can swap lenses, recalibrate your gimbal, and then shoot the details. What I'm going to do
is I'm going to save the details for after. I'm going to put it in
my head that I've shot the widths for this room and then to come back
and shoot the details. That way I don't have to
keep swapping lenses. In a normal production, what I actually do is I have two gimbal setup with two
separate black magic cameras, with two separate lenses, both calibrated and I can just grab which
gimbal that I need. But most of us don't
have that luxury and so we're going to do it the way most of us are
going to have to do it. The way I used to do it
is I will go ahead and shoot all my widths and then length and then change to my tight shot and then
I'll shoot my tights. In conclusion, for the
formula for a living room. Straight on attack,
at least two. Angle attacks,1,2,3,4. Remember you're pointed at
the middle of the room. If I got four on this one, at least three. Then
ceiling features. If it's a nice high ceiling, then I would also get at
least three ceiling features, that way you have options. Then we have to get
our detail shots. But we will wait for that. But remember that's
part of the formula. Get your widths, then
get your tights. See you in the next video.
10. Kitchen: Welcome back. This is the formula for how
to shoot a kitchen. So come on in. This kitchen, it's a pretty nice kitchen. Not many kitchens are like this, but the principle remains the same. What are we going to do? We're going to treat
this all as one big room from here to there, to there, to there. It's just one big room. Now the kitchen is
what I categorized as one of the four cores. Now there are certain
rooms that are the core values of a house. The living room is one of them, the kitchen is one of them, the master is one of them, and the dining is the other one. Then I always say
something cool. In this case the something cool, maybe it could be the
upper floor because it's open or the basement. The basement is really
cool. Something cool. But these are the four. The four that
everyone cares about, doesn't matter if it's
a luxury property or a three-bedroom
two bath house. I always like to start
with an angle of attack. I'm going to go and get all of my angle attacks out of the way. I know I want a shot
going this way, that way, that way, and that way, as many as
I can get. Let's see. My f-stop is at f 5.6. My white balance is at
4950, that looks good. My shadows are looking
nice and not too dark. So where do I angle? Well, if I'm dealing just with this room, corner to corner. I'm going to stand
in this corner, I'm going to go to that corner. That's where my [inaudible]
crosshairs are pointed. I'm going to move
11,002, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Do it one more time. One one-thousand and two, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. We got it. Now, I'm going to get this
angle of attack right here. Loving this angle of the attack. I love it because we can get this cool little
sitting area, the second or the main
island over there, and we can even get the
pizza oven over here. Now, I can tell that I need to increase the amount of light. I'm going to go to F4. White balance is at 4950. Still shooting at 1/120th
at 60 frames per second. 11,002, 3, 4, 5, and 6. One more. One, 2, 3, 5, 6 beautiful. Whenever there's an island, I love to get a
straight on attack. I know I haven't gotten all
of my angle attacks yet, but as I'm working
around the room, I'm seeing these opportunities. How am I going to shoot
this and where am I going to set my cursor? I'm looking at this guy up here, and I'm going to use my rule of thirds to center
the room with that. Now I'm going to go ahead and
do my straight on attack. One, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I'm going to go backwards now. One, 2, 4. This is a really important shot, so make sure if you
need to do it again, it's not a big deal. Do it now because you
can't do it again later. Beautiful. One more. I like walking forward
and then backwards. That way I get two shots in one. Sometimes I'll use
the forward shot, sometimes I'll use
the backward shot. It's just getting two
for that one line. Here we are at the angle
of attack. Same thing. One, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Back 2, 4, 6. Beautiful. Now here we have an opportunity for
a straight on attack. I love these where they go down in between these cabinets. I like to call this the trench run from Star Wars because that's exactly
what you're doing. You're going down the
middle of the trench. I go a little bit low. I get my crosshair to be somewhere the same level
as my countertops. What I'm doing is I'm
trying to show off the floor, the cabinet tree, all the hardware that they used and a couple of seconds of this really does wonders for
showing off the kitchen. I'm also going to do a
straight on attack going here. Now, these shots, it's so
important I can't even stress. That you have your vertical and horizontal lines straight. I'm using my rule of thirds, my crosshairs and
just the environment. I'm looking at the slats on
the top of the ceiling there. I'm looking at that table
for how level it is. I'm looking at my rule of thirds guide on the top of that. It's so important to be able to have those lines straight. This is what sets apart the
amateurs from the pros. I'm going to go back this way. Let's see, I'm going to go F8. Well, much F 5.6, That's better. I want to go back this way because I don't know which
way I'm going to want. I'm getting them all now. I'm getting all my options now. I'm silently editing in my head. I'm like, you know
what? There's a chance that I could use this shot. I need to do an angle
to tag going this way. I don't think I haven't
shot going this way. This is a really grand
shot to be able to show this arrow going that way. Let's see, I'm an F 5.6. It's a little bright right now. I think I'm going
to have to keep it. I'm going to have to let
some of that stuff blow up because my focus
is this room, not the outside. Here we go. One, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and back 2, 3, 4. I can do a straight on
attack here to show off this space with these appliances and from the other side as well. Three, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3. Beautiful. I'm going to feature this. This is technically
part of the kitchen. Something like a little slide, I'm sliding and turning. So if you notice,
the way I slide, so I'll squat like this, I'll hold this out and I'm
basically moving like this. The reason why I
say have a handle, is now I can use this
like a steering wheel. So I'm going to slide
and turn my rig. I get a beautiful sliding
move to really show this off. We've got our angle attacks and we got our straight-on attacks. Now, something that's
a really cool move for kitchens is revealing. So I'm going to
use the corners of my islands to reveal
parts of the kitchen. For example, I'm going
to use this corner to reveal that really
cool appliance. So I'm going to get low,
and what I'm going to do, is I'm going to
hide behind here, and I'm going to
lift with my knees. I'm going to come
over the countertop, and then show that off. Do it again, lift with my knees, come over the countertop,
show that off. I'm going to do it
from this other side because I can see myself over here in the reflection
of that glass. Come up, show that off. Beautiful, just like that. Come up, show that off. I'm going to go
ahead and show off this sink area. Same way. I use this corner. I'm going to reveal. See how I revealed all of that, I revealed all the woodwork
on the cabinet tree, then I revealed the floor, the sink, all with
just this one move. So it helps break up all of our straight-on attacks and
all of our angled attacks. I'm going to reveal
this space here. Using this corner.
Just like that. Lift with my knees. Turning my rig ever so slowly. Over here, I'm going to
reveal the sitting area. I'm going to reuse
this corner and reveal chairs, in
that sitting area. Now, I like this
floating shelf area. I'm going to reveal this
floating shelf area or at least show its use in here. Instead of hiding behind it, I'm going to use
its transparency and allow those
things to pass me. I'm just going to rise
up and show it all off. It's really cool to show
you these floating shelves are just so functional
in this kitchen. Now, got this awesome skylight. Put my camera up. I'm going to expose
for the skylight. Then I'm going to do my move. Wider stance. So nice
cool ceiling feature. I'm going to do it
from this angle. I love that there's
that Cloud back there. Do it from this angle. Beautiful. This angle. Just because I don't know
which angle I'm going to use. This angle. Beautiful. Now, is there any other
ceiling features? Well, we've got these Lights. Lights are cool. So I'm going to go down to 5.6, and I'm just going to move to
the left and to the right. I'm going to also show
off these lights. Anytime that we need to
kind of break up our edit, we can use those shots. Since we're here,
part of the kitchen is this Butler's Pantry. This Butler's Pantry, it has some of my
equipment right now, because it's darker in here. I'm going to create
my ISO to my second, I have dual native ISO. So 1250 is my second
bank of ISOs. It's still dark, so
I'm going to go to F4. My white balance
is a little warm. So I'm going to
go down to 3,800. I'm going to go ahead
and do the move. I'm going to do
the move in here, but I'm actually going
to use other footage. I've actually shot
this house before. But through the graciousness of the builder and the designer, they're allowing me to shoot it again for these tutorials. I'll do the move right here. We'll use the old
footage that I used from when I shot it last time because this room isn't really
staged as well. I'm going to go ahead
and do the move, and I'm using the drift. So remember it's like Tokyo
Drift I'm kind of coming in and then I turn in my car this way doing the
same thing here. I'm going to point
to that angle, but as I move in, I'm turning my rig. Beautiful. Just like that. That's the kitchen. We've
shot our straight-on attacks. Every straight-on
attacks we can take up, we've got these
straight-on attacks, this straight-on attack, those two up there, that
one over there. Lots of straight-on attacks. Lots to choose from for edit. Then for an angled of
attack we've shot this way, that way, down here, lots of different
angled attacks. A variation of the angle
of attack is the reveal. So we're going to use
the corners to reveal our appliances and cabinet tree. Then plus we did a lot
of ceiling features. So angled my camera up at a 45, and did my half circle move
at different angled attacks, angles from down here. That's the formula
for a kitchen. In addition to that, we still have to shoot
the detail shots. And because of the way
I'm shooting this, we're going to
shoot those after. So that is it for the kitchen so far. See you in
the next video.
11. Dining Room: Welcome to the formula for
how to shoot a dining room. Now in this case, they actually have like three areas to dine. But we're going to go ahead
and shoot two of them. This looks like
their main dining room and I'm calling
this the main dining room because it's
attached here with the kitchen. I'm calling that the
main dining room. The way we shoot it is
usually a straight on attack. I'll do a straight
on attack this way, and a straight on
attack this way. Then I can do an angled attack, but most of the time I just
leave it with those two. To do a straight on a attack, I'm going to use my cursor. Find the middle of
the table and I can tell that I'm blowing
outside, but it's okay. Because what's my focus? It's that table which that is looking
properly exposed to me. I've got my cursor right there. That's where I want
it. I'm looking at my horizontals and verticals. I'm going to double-click
on my gimbal to make sure everything's
nice and straight. Bend my knees and
let's do the walk. One 1,000, two 1,000, three 1,000 and four, and back 2, 3, 4. Beautiful. Let's do it here. Where's the center
of this table? It looks like they did
a good job of centering it with the chandelier. That's going to be
my center mark, 1, 2, 3, 4 and back 2, 3, 4. It looks like that my
horizontals are not straight. I'm going to do that again.
That's looking a lot better. 1, 2, 3, 4 back 2, 3, 4. I knew that they were
not straight because I was looking up here. There were like this and
that is not straight. You want it like that. That is straight. Let's see
any other opportunities. I'll go ahead and do
an angled attack. But instead of it being an
angled attacked like this, I'm going to do it as a slide. I'm going to take
a nice wide steps. I'm going to slide
from left to right. This is why we don't
bring a slider. onset. You are the slider. Your body is the slider. Nice. Now we have
another dining room. That's this one, same thing. I'm going to shoot it over here. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. For this one, I am
going to do an angle of attack just for some variation. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8. Do a straight on 1, 2, 3, 4, I'm running
out of room. Do it again, 1, 2, 3, 5.
12. Second Living Room: For this room, it's the same thing as the
other living room. We are going to do our angle of attack and a straight on attack, and maybe another
angle of attack and probably the dark
cover for this room. So this is like your normal
living room if you will. [LAUGHTER] So for a
normal living room, we are just going to
go ahead and move in, 2, 3, 4. You can see why we choose
this nice wide angle. We're getting the ceiling, we're seeing everything of
this room right off the bat. I'm going to do an angle
of attack from here. Now, instead of an
angle of attack, I could do an angle of attack and get the outside
as my main shot. I can move in like that and that's a
great angle of attack. I'm going from corner to corner and I'm definitely showing off that this room has an
excellent view to the outside. Or I can do what I like to
call as an experienced shot. An experienced shot, in my head I always
like to say, well, this is what it's like
to sit in this room and see what it's like to sit here and feel
what it's like. So I'll literally get very
personal with this chair. I'm going to show it here in the bottom part of my
lens or my composition. Then I'm going to do a drift, if you will, I'm going
to drift into the room. I'm going to drift, pushing
in and turning and just showing this is what it's like to sit in this chair
and take in this room. This is actually a
really effective shot. It's a very personal shot because it's like I'm
sitting in this chair, sitting by this fire
looking at this view. So I like to call these
shots experienced shots. It's just a good way
to break up the edit, so it's not the same
move every single time. A straight on attack
of this room as well. Let's do a straight on attack. Check my verticals, my horizontals, and then I'm just going to go down the middle of this room. That's a great option as well. Who knows if I'll
use that or not. Pretty good. All right.
That's that room.
13. Powder Room: We have a powder room
here, very small. Come here, take a
look. Here it's tiny. Plus I'm in the shot, so that's not going to work. How do we handle powder
rooms with mirrors? Best thing to do, just
get on your knees, and now we're not in
that mirror anymore. Let's go ahead and get all
of our lighting right first. I'm going to set my white
balance to about 4,000. I'll lift my camera until I see it in the mirror,
and there it is. About right there, you don't want to see that. I'm going to go down
as low as I can, get my horizontals and
verticals straight, and I'm going to do my move. I was going to push in. That's how you shoot a
little powder rooms. That's it. That's the
formula for a powder room.
14. Mudroom: We've got a couple of more rooms around here on the main floor. We need to get the mudroom, the entryway, the stairs, and then we still
got the master. Let's go ahead and
knock out some of these smaller things real quick because we don't
want to forget them, even though they're not
part of like the four core. Set up the shot for
this. I'm going to F4. It's pretty dark.
Second Bank of ISO. White Balance, 3,900.
That's looking good. I'm just going to do a drift, move in here, rather than a
straight-on attack. I'm pushing in and
turning my camera at the same time and showing
off this mudroom. I can go a little lower. I can show off that floor. Very nice, one more time. I'm going to do a
straight-on attack as well, just so I have that option. Straight-on attack,
and then I'm going to turn and show off the room. That's the
bedroom. [BACKGROUND]
15. Entryway: All right. I know this is the first thing
that we've walked through, but we haven't even shot it yet. Let's go and get this entryway. So for the entryway, I usually do a straight on
attack moving backwards. So let me set my ISO
to 400. White balance. There's a lot of
light, so I'm going to go to about 5,300. I'm at F8. That's
looking really nice. So I'll get my cross-hairs right at the middle
of that door. Double-click, make sure
everything is nice and horizontal and vertical. All my lines are looking
straight. I'm going to push in. Even if I push in and that
was the only shot that I got, I can always reverse the clip, and then I'll have a
backward shot which is this. I'm going to go ahead
and do that too far. Beautiful. That's it
for the entryway.
16. Stairs: Let's go and do the stairs.
Stairs are important. Not only are these
stairs very nice. Let's say that these
stairs were just like your run-of-the-mill
regular old stairs. I still like to shoot them and I don't shoot them for
the fact to show the stairs. In this case, I will, but
I will shoot them for the fact of giving me a
transitionary point in my edit. It's saying, hey, I'm
about to go up the stairs. To shoot the stairs I'm
going to do an angle attack. I'm treating the
stairs as a room. Treat it like this
box, this room. I'm going to go from
angle to angle. There's my corner, so I'm going to move in
and shoot the stairs. Now, let's make it a
little more dynamic. As I push in, I'm going to push my joystick up and turn my rig. I'm going to push
in, turn my rig, push up and then
it looks like I'm going up into the stairs. One more time. Doing
an angle attack, turning my rig drifting, pointing my angle up
and it really says, hey, we're going to go up. Let's do it the other
way. Let's go down. I'm going to do a
twofer for this shot, since this is also the
way to go downstairs. What I'm going to do is
I'm going to point at the angle and I'm
going to move down, going to drift over and
point my camera downwards. Beautiful. It really suggests that hey, we are now going from
one floor to the next. In this case we're going down. I'm just pushing my joystick
down and I'm leading my viewer as to where they
need to go. Those are stairs.
17. Office and Magic Line: We have one more room here. Now we have these
cool pocket doors because I don't
have any assistant, I only have my cameraman here. What I normally would
do is I would take two people and they would go down in the
corners and I would have them manually
open up these doors. I call it magic doors and
as I would enter the room, those doors would
magically open. Now we don't have
anybody here to do that, but I'm going to go out
and show you how to shoot this office area. But in the post, I'm
going to make sure to use that footage where
I did have assistance, where I was opening
up these pocket doors so I can feature the
fact that there are pocket doors and that's a feature-rich thing
of this office. I'm going to go ahead
and do my move. I'm going to go and I'm going
to find the corner of this. I'm going to go from
corner to corner-ish. It's not a perfect square,
but it's corner-ish. I'm going to make this
a little bit more dynamic by starting my angle up and as I walk in, I'm going to start
bringing my angle down and it really
brings that room in. I'm just slightly pressing
down on my joystick. I'm going to do
it one more time. I'm going to point up and this will be cool
when it's speed ramped. That's what I'm thinking
in my mind right now. I'm coming in and moving down and showing off
this great office. Beautiful. Even though I'm
not crazy about this shot, I'm just going to go one, two, three so what am I doing? This is a thing
called magic line. Let's talk about
magic line real fast. For rooms like this that
are like single rooms, I want you to pretend. For rooms like this there
is a magic line going from this corner to that corner-ish. I always say corner-ish because it's not always going to
be a perfect square room. Imagine that there's a
magic line going from here to there and what you're doing is you're going
down magic line, so I've revealed the room, and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to swing around this way and here's the line
and I'm taking this line, and now I'm just
walking backwards. In my edit, in post-production, I'm going to take
that first shot and I'm going to come in
and reveal the room. Cut and then I'm going
to cut to that spot right there on the second
half of magic line and then take that so I've
shown the entire room in two shots and that's the
power of magic line. I use magic line for
every kids' bedroom. All the kids' bedrooms
are two shots, go in and then go backwards,
and then that's the shot. I love kids' bedrooms
because they're super easy. Let's go to this
wing of the house.
18. Master Bed and Bath: This room, I'm going
to actually do a straight on attack
coming into here, so I'm going to go straight into here and I'm going
to turn my rig and convert my straight
on attack into an angled attack,
revealing the room. Wait, restart it.
[inaudible] I'm going to go down to F5.6. My white balance
is a little warm, so I'm going to go down to
4,900. It's looking good. We're going to do a
straight on attack and as we round that corner, it'll turn into
an angled attack. I'm looking at my doorframe, I'm looking at my
rule of thirds, everything is looking
nice and straight, and I'm using my cursor to
find the middle of my door. Let's go and make the move, one 1,002, three. We're showing off this entryway into the master and that, like a room in itself. I'm going to start turning my
rig and I know I want it to point at the bed and
the side tables. I'm drifting angling
attack into the room. Let me do it one more time.
That was really a good shot. One, two, we're showing off this, this is a room in itself, even though it's
part of the same and it's the room in itself. I'm turning my rig. I'm going to drift
into this room and reveal the master
and all its glory, turning my rig continuously
while still moving forward. Beautiful. Guess what? That was magic line. What am I going to
do? I'm going to go down the other
side of magic line. I started going down magic line here and I know I'm going to take magic line going
backwards like this. I went down magic line one
way and now I'm going to show the rest of
the room going down magic line the other way. I'm going to show
off the ceiling, so I'm going to do
a ceiling shot, just to show all
this nice beam work, all this woodwork,
this nice finishing. I'm basically doing
a semicircle move. I've got my cursor pointed
at the middle and I'm doing a semicircle move to
really show off that ceiling. Beautiful. Now we're
going to go in here. We've got these cool barn doors. Again, if I had assistance, I would probably use
them to do a magic door. Let's say we don't
have an assistant and I really want to
do something cool, I'm going to do this; I'm
going to shut the doors, I'm going to take the
middle using my cross here, and I'm going to go ahead and do my move as if those
doors were not there. One, two, three, four, five six. Now I'm going to push these all the way back
the way they were. Now I'm going to do
the exact same move. What I'm going to do and post is I'm going to
crossfade between the two and magically they're just going to open up into this room. I do this a lot with closets. If there's a closet that I
want to show, I'll do that. The trick is to make sure that you're lined up in
the same position. I know that this
is my center mark, this is where my doors were, and I want to use
my cursor right there to make sure that
I'm in the middle. Now I'm going to do my move and I'm going to crossfade
between these two. Into the process, I'm going
to reveal this awesome tub. Beautiful. We've shown the tub. I want to show off this area and I'm going to do a straight on attack but backwards. We're going to do straight
on attack to show off these nice sinks and then I'm also going
to do an angled attack. I think I like the
angled attack better. Two, three, five, and back. One more time. One.
Beautiful. We've got some angled attacks and straight on attacks here in the tub. Anytime that there's
a tub like this, I will get very
personal with it and I will reveal the tub like this. Anytime there's a tub, I will do this. It just says luxury, and so I like to do that. I want to try to get
those LED lights. I'm going to really get low so I can show off
those LED lights. Can you imagine having to
set up a slider for this? That's why I always say, look, your body is your slider. Beautiful. Let's go ahead and show the shower
from this side. I'm going to move in and
we show it over here. It's obviously way overexposed. Go to ISO 400 F5.6, white balance
probably around 5250. Looks good. What I'm going to
do is I'm going to reveal. I'm going to use this
wall to reveal that area. I'm going to reveal and
I'm turning my rig. This is why you
have that handle. One. I'm not in love with that, so what I'm going to
do is I'm going to break it up into two shots. I'm going to do a slider move, so revealing that and
get myself some options. I'm going to treat
this as if it was a ceiling reveal, but it's not. That's why I call it the
ceiling reveal shot, but it's something
I'm angling up. I'm going to use
this wall still to reveal this double shower. Now I'm going to reveal and
I'm loving that way more. You can see that extra
shower head up on top. It seems super grand, super big because I'm so low, and plus it doesn't
spoil my next shot, which is the fact that there is a Jacuzzi connected
to the shower. It's still keeping the
intrigue and the mystery. [NOISE] I'm going
to do a shot from here and what I'm going to
do here is I'm going to transition from this room using a slider into the next room. Here I am. I'm sliding from here and then I'm going
to show off this room. This is tricky.
From here to there. Now I'm going to try it
where as I move into there, I'm going to angle my
shot, so that way. [LAUGHTER] I like
that so much more. Beautiful. Little overexposed.
I'll do it again. I'm going to keep
my verticals on all my horizontals
nice and straight. It's going to move in here. As we move in, I'm going to
turn the rig and now we're going to reveal that. Beautiful. Love that shot. Nothing screams as
luxury than having your own Jacuzzi by your
shower because you can. That's a great shot
to reveal that one. [NOISE] Before we do the recap, we've got to do this
walk-in closet. Just treat the walk-in
closet as any other room. Straight on attack, and I can't do that because I just got myself in the mirror. I'm going to do it from here. Admittedly, I'm probably going to use the
footage from the other shoot because they have all their
personal clothes here, whereas during the parade, this time was in
the parade homes, this was more staged. I'm loving that. Maybe
I'll use this corner to reveal that the fact that
there's a little bench here like I did in the kitchen. Very good. Now, we still need to shoot details. Now, I only really shoot details for the four core rooms, and that again is the kitchen, living, dining, and master. We will shoot details
for this room. I just won't do it yet
because I want to shoot whatever else we needed
to shoot. Let's go.
19. Gym: We're going to go and knock out two other rooms real quick. We've got a gym, and we've also got
a laundry room. These are just
square-sized rooms. What am I going to do? I'm
most likely going to be shooting down magic
line for these rooms. I'm going to look at my room, and I've got a heck of a view. I'm going to try to expose a little bit better
for the outside. I'm at "F11". I want to increase
my shutter to 240. My white balance I'm
going to set to 5,600. I'm going to shoot down
magic line, 1002, 1003. I'm going to go back
down magic line. I'm going to shoot down
magic line once more, but this time I want to
expose for the room. I expose for the outside because I really
liked that view. But what's important? Well, the room is important. I want to expose for the room, bring my shutter speed
back down to 1_120th. Now, here I am
exposing for the room. Then post, I'll be able to
decide which one do I want. Do I want the one
where I'm showing the outside or do I want the one where I've
exposing for the room? This is really tricky. I'm going to just go down low, and I'm going to
try to hide between these bars and those bars. Then I'm going to
go just like that. We might not even
use this shot just because those mirrors are really tricky, what
am I going to do? I'm going to try to get a
couple of ceiling features. We've got a cool
ceiling feature here, and I'm going to go ahead
and crank up "F11", and then I'm going
to try to feature some of this stuff here. I'm going to do a ceiling
feature for here. Honestly, the one shot that
will probably end up using, is the one just
going into the room, and not showing any
of the other stuff. Because the mirrors
make it really tricky.
20. Laundry: All right. Let's go ahead
and do the laundry. This is probably the nicest view of a laundry I've ever seen, unless you really like to fold the laundry with a nice view. Anyway, so this room can be
just done with one shot. You can either do it
with an angle of attack. I'm going to just come
in an angled attack from corner to corner,
one more time. Or we can do a little bit more of a dynamic move
or we can drift in. I'm going to use this doorway
right here to reveal, and I'm going to think
of a car drifting in. I'm going to skid in and turn. I'm going to come in and
my momentum is turning. As I'm pushing in,
I'm revealing. I'm pushing in and turning. Honestly, both shots work. It's just whichever one
you want to use to post.
21. Second Floor Main Landing: That takes care of this
entire first floor. Stands the outside,
but I'm going to wait for the outside. We've got a lot to shoot
out there as well. But let's go ahead and knock out the kids' bedrooms upstairs
and then maybe the basement, and then we'll come back
and the knockout with our detail lens. Let's go up. This is going to go
with my stairs shot. Because as I was
growing up I was like really admiring the glass. I'm just going to do a
reveal shot of the stairs. I'm going to use this corner
to reveal this open room. I'm just going to
use this corner and just reveal into this room. Now, we've got this from here. I'm going to treat each part of this room as if it
was its own room. I've got this nice big area
which looks down into there. What I'm going to
do is I'm going to physically walk
in and look down. I'll walk in and then I'll use the thumbstick and point my
camera down to show that, and I'll use that as a ramp. It's a very dynamic move. A lot of my builders love
it because it shows off not only this room but the fact that you can have an awesome
view downstairs as well. As I'm moving in
pointing my camera down, don't drop your camera. [NOISE] Let me do
it one more time. Usually, I have to do this about three times
to get a good one. I got my center mark here. As I move forward, I'm
going to slowly move down my gimbal with a joystick. This one wasn't as great. I already know don't
love that one. [LAUGHTER] Centered move, look down, and that was the one. Let's get the rest of this room. I'm going to go ahead
and do an angled attack of this area. I do an angled and drift
in. One more time. Beautiful. I'm also going
to do a straight-on attack, expose a little bit
more for the out there with the outdoors. Very nice. Then let's also do a straight-on attack
to kind of show like the coolness
of this catwalk. I'm going to do an angled attack and just go over these rails. It's a cool shot. It's like we're go
on over and back in. Reveal this space here by just doing a straight-on attack, I'm really just playing
with these lines. It's all about symmetry. Straight lines. That's what makes
it great video. [NOISE] Then since
we're up here, I'm going to show
off the ceiling. I'm doing an angled attack up. Just moving like I would, but from up here, to really show off this
beam work. Very nice. I think I'll just shoot an angled attack here just because it's
a little dynamic, and show that it's a catwalk. Anytime I do these
angled attacks, it doesn't have to be
perfectly in a square room. I'm just looking for corners. I'm looking for these
corners over here. I see a corner over there, and I see this opportunity for these lines just to pass me. These handrails are
just passing by and it's always nice in a video. All right that
takes care of this. I'm going to call this the upstairs living room
because it really is. It's an upstairs living area and so basically we just shot it like we were in any
other living room. The only difference is we
had an opportunity to look down and we have
these cool catwalks. Speaking of looking
down we need to be able to look down
from the stairs. Remember, stairs are important. Remember we shot
looking up the stairs? I want to also do a shot where it says that we're
coming up from the stairs. The way I'm going to do that, I'm going to do it backwards. I'm going to start here. I'm going to start like this
and I'm going to pointing down as I walk forward. I'm pointing my camera down, and then I'm also
going to do it where, let's see, like
an angled attack. I'm going to angle attack
and just point down. What I'm going to do is in post, is I'm going to play
that backwards, so it's going to look
like it's coming up. We pointed up going up, and then now we're
going to take the other clip going backwards, and now we've really told the
user we are now upstairs. Then we'll shoot all this. We do all this stuff.
22. Kids Bedrooms: Bedrooms are my favorite. Super easy, super fast. We've got the doorway
that leads here. We've basically got an
angled attack like this. What we're going to do
is we are going angle in, do an angle of attack. We can either
drifting or we can do a straight-on angle of attack. Then we're going to
go down magic line. If we go down magic line you know what we
are going to do? We're going to hop
on the other side of magic line and then go
backwards from there. I'm going to first go ahead
and get my exposure properly. I'm at f 5.6. My white balance
is a little warm, so I'm going to go down to
5,100. That's looking good. I'm going to use this wall to reveal my line going
down magic line. I'm going to push
in, drifting in, going down magical line, and do it one more time. Pushing in, revealing the room, going down magic line, and guess where we're going. We're going to go down the
other side of magic line. We're going to go backwards
[inaudible] magic line. Then we can even go
forward down magical line. What we're going to do we're go forward down magic line
and what are we doing? We're showing the bed
and all these awesome built-in that [inaudible]
did with this bedroom. I'm just going forward and backwards just to give
myself some options. That's it for that room.
Let's do it again. Let's not even hit stop, let's just go down to
this next bedroom. Same setup. Only thing that's different, is it got bigger windows. Let's go ahead and let's expose properly for
the light and look at that, we can see out the windows and
the room at the same time. Love the dynamic
range of this camera. We're at 50 for
my white balance, ISO 400, it's
looking really good. It's just the opposite
setup with the other room. We're going to use this wall
to reveal down magic line. So we're going to walk in, reveal a magic line. Still got forward momentum, so I'm going down magic line.
We'll do it one more time. Forward momentum,
going down magic line, reveal the room, beautiful room and guess
where we're going, because we're going
down magic line. Now we're going to go
backwards down magic line. That's it. That's how you shoot bedrooms. Bedrooms are the best. The shots are the same. Go down magic line, go the opposite
side of magic line, two shots for a bedroom. That's the formula
for a bedroom.
23. Bathroom: Bathrooms. Specifically,
kids bathrooms, not the master bathroom. This one's a little different. You've got diamond mirrors. I can still see
myself in the mirror, so this one I can cheat. I can just push over. But we've also got this area. What I'm going to do is
instead of showing both sinks, I'm just going to show
one of the sinks because what I'm trying to show
us all this tile work. What I'm going to do is
I'm going to use this wall to reveal into here
just like that. I'm going to go back to a four. A four is looking good. I'm going to start here. I'm going to have to
avoid this mirror, otherwise I'm going
to be in the shot, so that's not going
to make it in there. But I'm going to push in, angled attack, and
show off that area. Again, push in, angled attack, drift in there. I'm using my rig to turn
over so slightly to the right as if it
was a steering wheel, drifting into the room. Beautiful. Because this
is a cool showerhead, I'm going to do a
ceiling feature. Which means I'm
going to get low. I going to have this
thing that I always say : Anytime that there
are glass like these, I say let the glass pass. What does that mean by that? Let the glass pass in
front of the camera. When I let the glass
pass like this, this allows this
foreground element to pass by the lens and
it looks really nice even though my focus is
that skylight showerhead. I'm going to let the glass pass. Pointed up, I'm going to do a half circle arch to
reveal this space. I'm letting that glass pass. I'm getting that
beautiful parallax that viewers love.
Just like that. One more time. Very nice. Let the glass pass. I should make a T-shirt.
24. Basement: Welcome to the basement. Treat these stairs,
treat this as a room. How am I going to
feature these stairs? I am going to do an
angled attack into this room and start pointing up. Push in at an angled attack
and I'm going to point up. What it's doing is it's
featuring this room. It's featuring this
craftsmanship and I am trying to show some dynamic angles here
and some beautiful lines. We can actually treat this
as a room if we wanted to. This is a little sitting area. We're going to just do
a straight push in. Straight on attack,
boom, push in. This right here, this
garden area, that's cool. You just straight on attack. I'm going to treat
this as a room, even though it's in the same
room as everything else, I'm treating this area as room. How am I going to
do it? I'm going to do an angled attack. I'm going to corner-ish
into that angle. I'm going to do an angled
attack. Moving in. Beautiful. I'm going to do a reveal just like
I did in the kitchen. I'm going to reveal these
little arcade games using the back of this stool. I'm going to reveal into that. I like this little game on sign. So I'm going to use
this game on sign to reveal into this next room
which is the pool room. Very nice. But vice versa
I can do it from here, this game on signs on this side, and then I can reveal
into this side. Using reveals, angled attacks, this is a great accent wall and this is some cool
art. Just this light. I'm just going to
do something where it's an angled attack into that angled
attack at the wall. Maybe I'll treat it
more like a gallery, I like this. Do it backwards. Instead of a straight-on attack and do a straight-on
attack going in. Or I can move it backwards. Just keep that symmetry in mind. Let's do a straight-on
attack with this pool table. Go backwards. A rule of thirds really helps
me as well as my cursor. Because I can easily find the center mark of
that pool table. I'm also going to do an angled
attack at this pool table. Feature the pool table with those jerseys
in the background. I'm also going to do
a straight-on attack for a symmetry sake. Very nice. Now we've got this living room, so what do we do
with living rooms? Angled attacks
straight-on attacks. I'm going to do an angled
attack. Very nice. I'm going to go right to
the straight-on attack. I'm really liking this
straight-on attack. I'm using these as
my center mark. So I'm going to get
my cursor into the middle and then just push into the room and we can
do it backwards. Let's get an angled
attack of that room. That will give
ourselves some options. Loving this angled attack. Let's make an experience shot. Let's get personal
with this furniture. Get nice and low
and show what it's like to be sitting here in lounging in the basement and these are really
comfy couches. We've got another game area, so I'm going to treat
this as a room. See how this whole
open basement, it's one big room, but I'm just splitting it up into
little different rooms. This is now a room. This ping-pong table
is now a room. I did an angled attack. I'm going to do a straight-on
attack, but I'm backwards. I'm going to treat this thing as a room. I'm going to show that
it's a little play area. Show this ball pit. Maybe just show, I'm going
to reveal, and then here. Very nice. Let's also do one angled attack
from this point of view, just because I like it and
use this wall to reveal, do an angled attack. Very nice. Then we'll do an angled attack just
to this side as well. I like that one more than
the other angled attacks, so I'm glad we did
this side. Very nice. We just knocked out all these
different living spaces here in this cool basement. Now, we still have
these two bedrooms. Now, they're just bedrooms and also they're not
really stage-worthy. I'm just going to
explain what we would do and then I'll use the
footage from the other one. We would go down magic line. Here's magic line, so we
would go and we would just shoot down magic line. What would we do? Come around, swing back on
this side of magic line , and pull back. That would be our two
cuts to show this room. Same thing with this room. We've got this wall. We would show this wall. The reason why I'm not
shooting in this room is these electrical blinds aren't working and so we
can't feature it. But I know I have the
footage from my last shoot, but I would use this
wall to reveal it open. We could either leave it at that or because we shot
down magic line, we can go down magic
line going this way. Just like that and it'll be
our two shots for this room. Then for this bathroom, this bathroom is pretty cool. You would use this
wall to reveal the two sink fixtures
just like that, 5.6 is probably better. That covers the
basement. What's left? We've still got the outside. We haven't got any
exterior of this house. We'll be using mostly
drawn for that. We've got a pool, a fire pit, some really
great sitting areas. We want to feature those during the times when it's
more twilight. Now, let's look at the time. It's 5:53. In one hour, it'll be time to
shoot the outdoors. What we need to go out and
do right now is switch over to our detail lens and get the detail lens shots
for our four core rooms, which is the living
room, dining room, master kitchen. Let's go.
25. Detail Shots: Now we're going to go ahead
and shoot the details for our four core rooms, kitchen, dining, living, master. Let's go ahead and knock
out the kitchen first. We're basically
creating a slider shot. A slider shot is
created by your body. We're not setting
up a slider at all. Your body is actually
acting as the slider. I'm going to feature
this nice hardware on the sinks and on the cabinetry, showing off this wood, and do the slide while pre-depressing the
trigger on the Ronin. Very nice. [NOISE] I'm
going to go and show off this stove or this range. It's got a lot of these
beautiful tiles on there. We're going to go ahead
and get nice sharp focus on that and we're going to
reveal using the corner. I'm going to reveal
using this corner , and there we are, showing those beautiful
tiles and that gold trim. I'm going to go ahead and
show the staging right here. Very nice. I'm using the edge of this wall to reveal and I'm loving the
reflection that I'm getting, adds to that parallax effect. Very nice. I want
to go ahead and get that sink right there. I'm liking the
hardware on the sinks. We are also able to see and
get nice focus real quick. We're also able to see part of the cabinetry and the
hardware chosen there. Got these nice lights over here. I'm going
to feature those. [NOISE] Let's see. I'm going to shoot. I'm not loving that shot. Let's see. I'm going
to shoot this. I like the floating
shelves here. Then let's see. Wherever I want my focus. I think I want my focus
at that back sink. [NOISE] I'm going
to do my slide, featuring the marble, those floating shelves,
that back sink. I'm going to feature
these lights. That's going to
move left or right. Beautiful. I'm going
to feature that light. [NOISE] I want to feature this
little eating area. I'm going to move
[NOISE] these things over to here so we
don't see them. Beautiful. I'm trying
to get the back of this chair to get that parallax. Get it from this angle. Try to show off the fact that the dining
tables over there. I think that does
it for the kitchen. I see if there's any other
opportunities over here. I think I'll just get
that little fruit to try just to literally
add a little color. Get that back stuff right there. [NOISE] Those are the detailed
shots for all the kitchen. Let's go from kitchen to dining. For dining, I will shoot down to show the
edge of the table. Grab my focus. I use my focus as the middle
of the table right there. I'm going to get the edge
and just slide to the left. I'll usually try to get some of the lights, the chandelier. I'm going to crank
up my aperture. I'm also going to just grab
it from this end as well. I had two dining tables. Let's do this one as well. I'm just going to get some
of those design elements. [NOISE] Very good. Let's go ahead and
do the living room. Anytime that there
is a coffee table, I'm going to get
the coffee table. What I try to do is I get the coffee table
with a little bit of parallax from the chairs. Using the chair to reveal, it's on the table and then shot's great to break up because there's
so many too wide. Even if it's a straight on
the attack or angled attack, that it's nice to break it up. I get this nice sitting area. [NOISE] Notice like
to get nice and low. Just want to show off
some of this texture and design elements
that they chose. I'm also going to try to
show off this fireplace. [NOISE] Let me see if I can use the corner of this chair to reveal
a few things. We got the kitchen,
dining and the living. I'm just looking around
to see if there's anything that I can get
just with a longer lens. Like I can get the
fireplace right this. Basically just looking for
opportunities to slide. Beautiful. That shows that there's two dining rooms. Let's go into the master. Details for the master
always the same. I always get the edge of the bed with the edge of
the table. Edge of the bed. I'm going to show off that fire [NOISE] especially
not the sitting area. The ceiling feature
and the wood beams. Let's go to the bathroom. I'm going to show off this tub. It's going to do my slide. [NOISE] Shows some of the detail, the light and the
tile tile work. Then the sinks. [NOISE]
26. Backyard: I just switched back
to my white angle. We're going to go ahead and take advantage of the
fact that there's this beautiful light
streaming into the backyard. We're going to go in
and just shoot all of our y's in the
backyard for right now, I added a filter, just an ND filter on my blends just because there's so much light coming
in right now, and hopefully it will help. I'm going to increase my
shutter speed to 1 over 2 40th, and I'm going to switch to f 11. Make sure I'm at
white balance, 5,600. Whenever there's
a pool like this, I would like to get the
straight on attack. Also get an angle of attack. Then go down to F 5.6. I'm going to get a
straight on attack here. This is such a grant
shot right here. I give like a little
experienced shot here. This is what it's like to lounge in the sunset of this home, is going to shoot
an angle of attack. That's going to get that. Watch my angle, so
my shadow doesn't get in the shot. Here we go. Now for this, I'll walk forward, and I'm going to walk backwards because if I want
the backward shot, I can't reverse the clip
because of the fire. Fire and reverse looks weird. If you want a backward shot, you've got to walk
backwards to get that shot. I'm glad we're shooting
this. This is nice. Some nice footage man. I'm going to get a
straight on attack. I'm going to do a drift shot. Look at that sun flare. Anytime you can get sun flare always make sure to
shot look money. Love that. Beautiful. Let's go back to 1 over 240
f8, an angle attack. When I'm doing is I'm
pointing the gimbal down as I walk in there. Let's descend into the pit. Beautiful, and because we're shooting in 60
frames per second, we're going to get some beautiful
fire shots, my friends. I think it would
be wise if we went a head and took a
couple of drone shots, while the mountains
are lit up like this.
27. Front Yard: I just realized that I haven't shot anything in the front yet, so we're going to
go and knock out these front shots while we
have this beautiful light. Get this straight on
attack at this front. [BACKGROUND] Straight on attack here. Beautiful, beautiful. Just getting some straight
on attacks [BACKGROUND]. Let's get the drone.
28. Drone Part 1: The sun's going to dip down
behind those mountains. I want to be able
to make sure that I get the mountains
lit up like this. For video about 4K60, I'm shooting it in D-Log, H.264, at MP4, [NOISE] and I'm making sure that [NOISE] I have
my grid lines turned on. I'm going to format
my card real quick. Let's go ahead and get
some beautiful shots. Take-off. Google point
has been updated. Please check it on
the map. [NOISE] I'm going to switch to cine mode and then I'm just going
to do a little orbit. That's like a half-moon
orbit around this property. That is looking beautiful. I'm going to bring my exposure
value done by one stop. I'm just doing a half orbit. Just want to get that
backdrop of the clouds. This is usually the first
drone shot that I will do. The next one that I will do, so I'll take it from a little bit higher perspective
and I will just start to descend and push in
just ever so slightly. [NOISE] That's a
beautiful shot. Then I'm going to do it from
the other side. [NOISE] Just descend ever so slowly and just
push in ever so slowly so small movements
make a big difference. I'm going to get one more orbit. [NOISE] Just a little
bit tighter. That's all. So it can show us some
of these water features. Then also it backed up against the mountain. Very pretty. [NOISE] Now I'm
also going to get some of this porch area. Very nice. [NOISE] Let's
take it to the backyard. [NOISE] I need to descend a little bit. It's a beautiful shot of
the backyard right there. [NOISE] I feel like we got the shots we
needed for sunset. I might as well just get this
one as I descend in here. Beautiful. I think I'll do a couple of these just because it's so
pretty right now. Once you get the
edge of the light over that mountain like that, you start getting some
beautiful qualities of light. This is going to be
right before twilight. It's always good to get
this footage as well. Who doesn't love a good sunset? [NOISE] I'll see you back here once the light is ready for twilight.
29. Drone Part 2: It's almost 7:30. We're already getting some
pretty beautiful results right here. Look at that. That's pretty beautiful. I'm just going to
do my same moves. I'm just going to do a half
moon orbit real quick. Basically, I redo the same
shots as time permits. We've got the time to reshoot this and I'm going to because each time
that I keep re-shooting it, I'm going to get a better
result. Look at this already. I can already see inside
and through the house, which is absolutely stunning. I'm going to zoom in
a little bit and do another half moons
orbit around the front. I also went to the backyard. We didn't record
this, but I went back to the backyard and re-shot some of the backyard at this quality of
light with my gimbal. I did it pretty quick so
that I wouldn't miss this. That's just looking gorgeous. The reflection of
those pink clouds in the distance there in the front, absolutely gorgeous. I'm just staying
locked on my track and then I'm just
orbiting the house. I'll hop in on the back. I'm glad I did. Got
those pink clouds in the background there. Get this amazing backyard. Beautiful. Let's try that again. This time pulling out. Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Let's go ahead and do a
little bit of an orbit. We can have some variation. Absolutely beautiful. When you get the skies
like that and then the fire and the interior
to the house, that's what you're working for. Let's go ahead and do
it from this angle. Try to come back.
That's a little fast. I think my center is a little
off so let's do that again. Beautiful. That's
what I'm looking for. Glad that the
waterfall isn't on. I get this super awesome
reflection on the pool, reflecting the sky and
the clouds in the house. Well, we're getting some
really gorgeous shot here. It's going to do that
again just to feature the fire pit and all
those twinkling lights. Really give this designer
and this builder some love. They've just done
an excellent job. Yeah, just locking on a
target and doing a move. Lot of times it's
just my move will be either half moons or an
ascent or a descent. Sometimes with my
ascent and my descent, I'll just also do a
push in or push out. We're getting towards the end of our twilight opportunities here. But honestly I think we've
gotten more than what we need.
30. Post Production - Entryway, Living, Kitchen: Let's go ahead and
get right into it. I am using the DaVinci
Resolve Studio 18 as my linear
editor of choice. You can use Adobe Premiere, you can use Final Cut Pro, the principles will be the same. Just to give you an idea, my timeline settings are set at 3840 by 2160 at 24
frames per second. That's what my sequence, if you will, is set at
my timeline settings. I have made three bins. I made a bin from my Blackmagic Pocket
Cinema 4K wide shots, and then my tight shots, and I also made a drone folder. I basically just drug all
that footage in there. Now, full disclosure,
after I shot the drone, I actually went
back inside and I shot some more wide
shots of the backyard. It was such a
pretty time of day. I didn't record that for you
guys just because they're the exact same shots
as what I did in the afternoon and
I didn't want to have to do that all over. They are the same shots. They're just at a
different time of day. If you see some
evening portions here, that's where those
are coming from. I think I have let me see. Let me switch over to this view. These are later evening. Full disclosure. I wanted
to let you guys know that. I'm going to pause here. I'm going to do the hardest
part of editing any video, and that is getting
us. I'm back. I'm going to make a bin
called Music then import it. There it is. Now, one other
thing I need to disclose. Remember when we were going through the house
and there was a couple of rooms that weren't completed, and how I said that I would use some clips from a prior shoot. I'm going to make a bin. I'm just going to
call it first shoot. Now, these were the
clips that we needed, those other clips
from our first shoot. We've got our wide
shots that we shot, tight shots that we shot
for drone from music, and from our first shot. Now one thing I like
to do is I like to make proxies of my drone. I don't have the fastest
computer by any means. It tends to be staggery when on playback if I'm
going to generate some proxy media for these guys. Then I'm going to go
ahead and come back. I have a proxy is now
connected to these files. When I scrub through
it, let's see, I'm going to choose my playback and I'm going to
prefer the proxies. When I scrub through this, it should be pretty smooth. That's not bad at all. I'm going to go ahead
and put my music down. [MUSIC] Cool. Not sure why my
waveform isn't showing. It should be showing.
But it's not. Not a deal breaker. We know we're going to start
with drone and then we're going to
end with drones. I'm going to go ahead and
add some drone footage. But before I drop
anything in my timeline, I want to make sure I'm going to select all of
my drone footage, right-click, and I'm
going to convert all these from 59 down to 24. It'll give me that nice slow-mo. [MUSIC] I'm going
to just find some nice drone clips that I like. I'm going to take this one. Then here I'm going
to speed ramps. I'm going to do a
real-time controls and every time curve, I'm going to add a speed
point and compress the time. Anytime I do speed ramps with drone footage it just
kills my computer. It's why I made proxies. That makes it so much
nicer to work with. [MUSIC] I like that shot. [MUSIC] I want that
shot in reverse. I'm going to use those as
my outside establishing, and then I'm going to
get in to the house. [MUSIC] Love it. Let's go inside. Let's go ahead and
do the living room. One thing that you can do, I'm going to go ahead
and create a bin, [NOISE] and make
this [inaudible]. Let's get all of our living room Let's see, where are
these? That's kitchen. Let's go to our tight shots, kitchen, dining
room, living room. These are the only kids
I care about right now. I should grab that entryway. I know I have an
entryway shot as well. This is entryway and
stairs. Let's do this. Entryway stairs. But I want it backwards. Now it's going to go
the other way around. I usually like to start
with an angle of attack. I want to go from a wide shot. Let's go to a tight
shot. [MUSIC] I like that. Maybe
let's show the ceiling. [MUSIC] It's a good ceiling feature. Then let's maybe do one
more angle of attack. Maybe this one. I like this one. [MUSIC] Before I do that, maybe I'll do one more
tight shot of something. Let's see what do we get.
Showing off the fireplace. Let's see what the
fireplace that's like. [MUSIC] I like the fireplace. I'm going to use the fireplace. [MUSIC] All right. That is
the living room. Let's go ahead and
go to the kitchen. I'm going to make a
thing for the kitchen. Let's go ahead and
find everything that's associated with the kitchen. This is all I care
about for kitchen. I said think about
it room by room, that way I'm not overwhelmed. Let's go do an angle attack. My ninja walking is not
great here, you can tell. [MUSIC] Cool thing is use
our stabilization. I love to use translation, fixed somewhere
around there, 0.8. Then [MUSIC] it's like magic. [MUSIC] Beautiful. Let's get a tight shot. I saw a camera setter. Cool. [MUSIC] Not living
that. Let's show the oven. Let's use that one. [MUSIC] Let's go back to
wide, cut that one. There, that's the one I want. This is why you just try to get all the different
angles that you can. Right there. Beautiful.
That's what I wanted. [MUSIC] That's my roof. [MUSIC] Take it wide. [inaudible]. Let's show some ceiling action. Buzz it. [MUSIC] It looks like reversed. [MUSIC] I like that better. I like this shot. Let's see where can
I put that guy. Maybe instead of this one? [MUSIC] I'm not crazy about that shot. [MUSIC] Press this. [MUSIC] All right, I think we might
have the kitchen. Let's just watch
it from the living room into the kitchen. [MUSIC] It looks pretty good. I think that is the kitchen. Let's go ahead. Pantry is part of the kitchen. I'm going to go
ahead and get this, mad room and pantry, throw
those in the kitchen. That's from our first shoot. Let's go do that.
[MUSIC] There we go. [MUSIC] That's
looking way better.
31. Post Production - Dining Living 2, Master, Office, Stairs: It's a good shot on that guy, and I bet you did a straight
on attack the other way too. Which one do I want to use? I like the other one better. [MUSIC] Yeah, I like
that one better. Let's get a tight shot. [MUSIC] Let's get that
other dining room on the other side. [MUSIC] I like that it
shows both right there. [MUSIC] That's it for
the dining rooms. Let's go ahead and do this little sitting area
right over there. [NOISE] There's a powder
room over there too. [NOISE] I think that's it. I got my angle of attack and I think I'll go to
an experience shot. That's way better. [MUSIC] Let's show that powder room. [MUSIC] Reverse that one. [MUSIC] Cool. Let's go ahead and
do master bedroom. [NOISE] I'm going to separate it into two rooms. [MUSIC] Then I'm just
going to go cut right in, there we go. [MUSIC] Then we're going to
go down magic line. [NOISE] Cool. [MUSIC] I should do
a ceiling feature. [MUSIC] I had this idea of
going in to the master and then to that point [MUSIC] and then cross this off. That's what I do when
I don't have any help. [MUSIC] When If I don't have any help to help
open those magic doors. [MUSIC] [NOISE] We're in the bathroom. Show the sinks. [MUSIC] I like that one. [NOISE] Cool. The closet. That's a good section. [MUSIC] What happens if I just use this one? [MUSIC] That should be the master, so let's see how that works. Let's go from the
living room Number 2 [MUSIC] into the master. [MUSIC] On this side of the
wing of the house, I know that we have the gym
and the [NOISE] laundry. Looks like I'm getting one clip. [NOISE] I like it when
it's all dark like this. Supposing for the outside [MUSIC]. I think we'll just go
straight into the laundry. [MUSIC] We get to the office still. From the first shoot, because the office
was not staged, I did the magic doors
here and you can see the people laying down there. Let's grab this one. Let's go to the office. That's from the office, that's from the office. Right there she is. That right there. It is 60 frames per second.
[NOISE] [MUSIC] Let's see. Maybe I
can do something where I gradually speed in. [MUSIC] Let's
stabilize that shot. See what it will
look like [MUSIC]. Go down magic line. [MUSIC] Now we can
go to the stairs. Speed that up. [NOISE] [MUSIC] That's fine. Some stairs from the top. Now we're on the second floor. That's the first floor. [NOISE] It's the
stairs and landing. [NOISE] Let's reverse it. [MUSIC] Let's go
into the landing.
32. Post Production - Top Floor, Basement, Outside: [MUSIC] Show off some of
these scenarios here. Scroll to the bedrooms. That's one bedroom
and second bedroom. Go down magic line. The other bedroom [MUSIC] Let's go to the bathroom [MUSIC] Let's go to the shower. The other bedroom and it's
from the first sheet, and the bathroom. That is the second floor. Let's see how it plays out so let's go
upstairs and check out everything on the second floor [MUSIC] Awesome. Let's go to
third, the basement. This is basement and
this is basement. Then from the first shoot, we need these guys. Let's knock out the basement. I want to start up here, go backwards and end here. Reverse the clip. Cool. Show the stairs, show that we're descending. Let's go. Let's show this area. Then let's go into
the next area. Next area, is this
kind of game room? Looks like my song just ended, so restarted. That's good. Cool. I like that. Let's try that first. What else we got? There we go. That's what I wanted.
That's better. Then let's go into
ping-pong play area. Reverse that. Let's get these two bedrooms, then that one. Let's get that rest room [MUSIC] Let's see, a good basement [MUSIC] Awesome. That's every floor
in the house, guys. Now we need to go ahead
and do the outside. We're going to take
these one in two ways. We can start right
at the outside on the ground level or we'll go with the drone.
Say we go on the drone. Let's see what we got here. Nice. [MUSIC] Now let's go on the ground. We went from drone, still in the daylight. We're going to take
it into the twilight. Let's get some
twilight drone action. [MUSIC] I love this shot. We've got to use this somehow. [MUSIC] Let's see if we can find some
more drone shots here, I could have sworn it took some. That goes over this
side of the house. Here it is. I just wanted a different vantage
point. Here we go. Love that shot. [MUSIC] It's so good. Let's get out of here. That's the grand exit right there. [MUSIC] Good. Then let's finish off
with front of the house. [MUSIC] Let's try this. [MUSIC] Then [MUSIC] Good. [MUSIC] Fade it all out. [MUSIC] Let's check out the outside. [MUSIC] I think that could have
used a cross dissolve. [MUSIC] That is the edit. Let's go ahead and
do the color grade.
33. Color Correction, Sharpen, Stabilization, Export: For color grading, I turn off all the proxies. I disable the proxies
because we want to use full resolution. [NOISE] Then I go into the color mode.
This is the color tab. I'm going to convert my D
log footage, interact 709. I'm going to just put a
color space transform and take it from D Gamma. That's my color space, and then my Gamma was D log. I'm taking this out
into to rec 709. Crank it up and using my [inaudible] one point for the contrast,
60 for saturation. [NOISE] [MUSIC] Good, tends a little off. Cool. Cut and copy this. That looks really bad. This is my black magic footage, so no need to color space
transform this footage. At least inside of DaVinci,
you don't have to. [NOISE] [MUSIC]
Copy in that grid. [NOISE] Here we are inside. Interiors, I just tried to
really look at my walls, that's how I color correct, not really grading, because I'm just correcting the colors. [NOISE] Normally what I do is I adjust my
temperature, adjust my tint. Like to lift my shadows like
everything nice and bright. That's some contrast. Increase my saturation. Then I sharp it at last. Bring back some
of my highlights. This is before, after.
[NOISE] [MUSIC] If I've already
created one scene and I know I just shot
in the same area, I'll copy that grid. [NOISE] [MUSIC] Here
I am in the kitchen. What I'm going to do is
I'm going to copy this and it's going to be all off, but not a big deal. Just look at my parade over here and taking a
look at my walls. If you wanted to I just can
start at ground zero again, and just started this way, and sometimes I like
to do this as well. I always try to make
sure I need to pump up my contrast. Is too much. Bring up my shadow. On my saturation, bring down my highlights. Then in my career is sometimes I'll do an overall
curve adjustment. [NOISE] [MUSIC] Before, after. Look for anything else where
I did wides in my kitchen, and I say I did that
one has a wide, I'm going to copy that
grid until it's too hot. Punch it down some.
It's looking better. Let's go ahead and do some
of these tight shots. Let me just going
to copy this grid, see what I get, looks terrible. Already, that's note
contents better. Just too hot, so bring it down. Looking good. This
is the wide shot, so I need to copy that one. That looks pretty awful. Let's start this
one from scratch. [NOISE] [MUSIC] There we go. [NOISE] [MUSIC] If your walls are
looking greenish, you want to hit
it with some tip, that's why I'm
always messing with my temperature and tint. [inaudible] like
that. [NOISE] [MUSIC] So this is a good example of going between two rooms of
different exposure values. So what I'm going to
do is I'm going to animate my color corrector. I just clicked on this guy. I'm going to go
to the beginning. I'm going to make a
animation keyframe. Then I'm going to scrub to
where I want it to change, which is about here. Now I'm going to go ahead and do my correction so I can tell
that it's overexposed. I've done my highlights, and let's look on the cool side because
we're outside now. There we go. Now
we go from here. Yeah, I didn't do it. So
I'm going to have that one. So now I got to
correct this one. Let's go ahead and bring this up, right there. From there to there,
there you go. So what it's doing
is it's basically twining between these
two, right there. Cool. [NOISE] [inaudible] Over here. Then, let's see. [NOISE] [MUSIC] All right. That is the color grade. We just got to add all of our [NOISE] we need to
sharpen everything. I like to add a
sharpening filter, and I'll do that by adding an adjustment clip
to everything. Then I'll go to
my sharpening and I'll put it at like 0.47. Then the last final
step [LAUGHTER], well, almost final step, is
destabilize the footage. So this is a little
tedious inside of DaVinci because you can't just have them all do it at once,
but it's okay. This is what I do.
I select the clip, I go to stabilization, I just choose translation, I'll put it on 0.8,
hit stabilize. Literally, you do that
for every single one, and you have to do
it one at a time. So I'm not going to
bore you with this, so I'll fast forward
this section for you. All right, with all
of our footage now stabilized and we've got
everything sharpened, the last thing to
do is to export. So I'm going to go
to the deliver page and I'm going to
go ahead and say, [NOISE] this is, I'm going
to export it as an mp4. I'm going to send this
as ultra HD clip. I'm going to restrict it to
100,000 kilobits per second. I'm going to put it in here
and add it to the queue. Wait, let me delete
that real quick. This is my 4K. Then I'm going to
add it to the queue. Then I'm going to
make an HD version, 1920 by 1080, like 10,000
kilobits per second. Now I will render it. Now we have rendered it
out. Feel free to watch it. I'll make sure to include
it in the class files. But go ahead and enjoy.
34. Conclusion: We did it. Thank you guys for joining me and
congratulations on completing my class on how to shoot professional
real estate videos. You now know what gear you need and the settings
your camera needs to be in when shooting real estate. You now know how to attack
different rooms in a home in order to get a lot of usable footage for
post-production. You've seen why we need
to use wide shots and tight shots in order to
enhance our final edit, and you've seen how
essential drone shots are. You've also seen the final editing post-production process and how to put it all together. Again, I'm Ron, I love shooting
real estate videos. I can't wait to watch the properties you've
shot for your assignment. Good luck. I'll see you soon.
