You've seen on other websites and in college courses Or books we do it in a fun and informative way and after you watch this guide You'll have all of the knowledge you need to start shooting impressive DSLR video today, but why wait let me give you some free tips right now straight from the guide enjoy All right, I think I ate the most balls there, so so why are we using Hungry Hungry Hippos to demonstrate anything? Well, we're gonna get into frame rate our cameras have the ability to be set at different frame rates And that's what Todd's gonna explain, so what are the different frame rates? We're gonna be working with the general frame rates that everybody's gonna find in their cameras is 24 frames per second 30 frames per second And 60 frames per second so what you're saying is that at 24 frames we have Literally 24 individual still images, and 30, there's 60 still frames that all make up the video It's exactly right, so what is that giving us 24 frames per second is going to give you that cinematic film look? It's gonna give you a motion blur We've all grown up watching movies shot at 24 frames per second and a lot of guys tend to gravitate Towards, 24 frames just to imitate that look so that gives you a certain look that may be good for one thing But maybe 30s better for something else, but 30 frames is gonna. Give us a more realistic look There's actually more frames there capturing more action, but it's gonna give you that video, so what are we gonna do here to demonstrate? We're gonna stick with that cinematic movie like look so 24 frames per second is where we're going to live on all these examples the Only thing we're gonna change is the shutter speed so let's start off with this one fiftieth of a second and see what that looks Like what we're gonna. Do here show you how shutter speed affects what's going on in the image We're gonna use a metronome, so we have something that's constant and moving We've already locked in the settings for the camera because all we're focusing in on right here is What's gonna happen when we change the shutter speed all right? Let's see what happens with this metronome as an example all right, and we're rolling and action Now this is a very pleasing image This is that cinematic look we were talking about a great place to be this looks all right What's gonna happen if we slow it down to a thirtieth of a second? Let's see what it looks like? So we're down to one thirtieth and we're recording now. What's gonna happen here Is we're just picking up more of that motion blur not a terrible thing But it's definitely something to be aware of if you push it down that far So we've shown you a lot of different lights that you can use for your setups But we haven't shown an actual setup and Todd's gonna tell us about a simple one right here We're gonna do a classic setup called a three-point lighting scheme.

It's got your key It's got your fill, and it's got your hair light So what I want you guys to know is that we've already locked in the settings for the camera This isn't about the settings of the camera and what lens and all of that. It's all about the lighting so Todd What are we doing here first thing? We're gonna. Do is we're gonna turn on our key light. That's our main source of light It's gonna be the strongest light in the whole scene So let's turn that on and see what it looks like So while Todd is doing that I want to let you know that if you just have one set up I know that this is called three-point lighting But we want you to know that with just one light you can still make this happen We just want to show you that one two three lights and how that all works together Just so that you have an idea that you can build off of that for the future So we just showed you guys a lot of different options that you have to get audio into the camera but there's one mistake that I made when I first started out because I didn't know any better and that was how to set the Audio levels in my camera I set it to auto and auto may not be the right choice Why is auto not the right choice Todd well it would be great if the camera did all the work Unfortunately when it's set to auto when it's real quiet and nobody's talking it looks for sound so it Raises your recording level and you get a lot of hiss next thing you know somebody starts talking again And it compresses that audio to try to keep up with all the different levels right so basically what's happening There is the camera is set to auto and it's just it's bouncing up It's bouncing down based off of just whatever audio is there so if you have some quiet times.

It's really gonna raise those levels You're gonna hear a lot of hiss and that isn't good I hear a lot of hits and a lot of my early videos and that really is the reason why so what is the way? Around it well the first thing you got to do is get out of auto and go to manual If you enjoyed that be sure to watch until the end because we'll give you another free look inside our video shoots But before we go any further if you're not familiar with who I am my name is jared polin aka the fro from froknowsphoto.Com I've been a professional photographer since I was 15 years old and during my career I've shot photos for stone the Philadelphia Flyers Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction Matisyahu and hundreds of well-known musicians tech visionaries business owners and celebrities for the past four years I've been creating fun and informative videos That have helped hundreds of thousands of photographers and videographers Of all skill levels my training videos have been featured on sites like digital photography school DP review peda pixels F. Stoppers and many more I've been a photographer for over 20 years and when my first DSLR gave me the ability to shoot video I. Thought the transition would come naturally I was wrong, but I didn't know why yet at first I thought shooting video was easy I set up the camera set my exposure Exactly how I would set it if I were taking a still and then press the record button Little did I know I wasn't even close to doing things properly I didn't know what a frame rate was and why it was important I didn't understand that the exposure triangle was totally different for video And I had no idea how important audio was I quickly discovered that? Photography and videography are completely different animals and just because you're proficient at one Doesn't mean you're proficient at the other which I found out the hard way here are some questions I had how should the different settings be used for the look or style I want How should I set up the scenes to keep the viewer engaged? What are the hidden rules of shooting amazing video that don't apply to still photography? How do I minimize the time I spend editing in post-production? How do I get the sound just right for any situation? What do I do as far as composition and storytelling to make the video memorable and? A bunch of other things like what gear should I use what lighting equipment? I needed and how to do all of this on my own Without a crew I tried reading articles and watching videos from around the internet But the information out there is scattered and often low-quality it made learning how to do it professionally on my own nearly impossible at this point I knew I needed guidance from someone who was more skilled at video Production to show me all the things I was doing wrong and to guide me towards better video Otherwise I would continue wasting time shooting videos that were just good enough So what did I do when the time came to film some very large projects? I sought out a seasoned professional who was just as good at video production as I am at photography And that was Todd wolf I hired him to shoot and produce both of my video guides the froknowsphoto Guide to getting out of auto and the froknowsphoto flash guide if you've ever seen either of them You know how high-quality Todd's video work is I ended up learning more from Todd about video in a few short weeks Then I was able to learn in the previous four years on my own so After creating the first two guides in helping tens of thousands of people understand the fundamentals of photography and flash photography People started to ask me how do I shoot video with my DSLR and that's why I teamed up with Todd and gathered all this Information in one place to answer that exact question and once you've seen what we've created It's going to dramatically cut down the learning curve for teaching you how to capture video with your DSLR. So here's another sneak peek inside So we're out on location at a bowling alley and not only are we gonna do something pretty cool But I have my bowling shoes on because I'm ready to bowl, but Todd.

What are we really here to do? We are here to shoot an EP K which is an electronic press kit, so this could be for any corporate client any Business out there and a great way to make a couple bucks mr.. Dave Leno back here. He's an avid bowler He's looking for an e PK to help promote himself And how knowledgeable he is sure and another thing that an e PK can be used for for musicians for any business owner you're telling the story of what they do in an easily consumable piece of content that they can put anywhere and Use it pretty much as an advertisement so you have the clipboard here. What are we talking about? I got a clipboard here I have got a shot list first and foremost last night.

I kind of just thought out everything I want to get not cutting off creativity whatsoever there We're gonna be inspired while we're here to do some extra things, but at least I've got a roadmap And I'm not gonna miss critical things. Yeah, remember what we talked about pre-production That's what you have to do to prepare yourself Todd. What are some more rules? We're gonna get into well some good things I want to talk about now our coverage and the almighty one eighty rule now this 180 rule is something that I just Ruined at the very beginning, but it's something that I made the mistake once and it never happens again so that's why we're here to show you the Examples to see what a good use of the 180 rule is and what it looks like if we break it So let me just give you the basics. We've got a camera above us here and between the two characters There's an axis between us.

There's an eye line between us. We don't want to cross that eye line with our camera We want everything to be on one side or the other right now. We've got all of our cameras on this side That's generally where you want to keep them it helps the audience understand where things are Relative to one another now if we cross that line which we will show an example of it will disorient the audience Can you break the rule absolutely but know the rules and then you can break them? All right Todd I see you have the slider set up. What is going on here well I'm gonna come in here for a two-shot kind of tried to fake it here when I swung it around I think that'll give me a good movement to come into this shot, but this is gonna Give us a really cool effect while getting both of them in one shot So go over the two-shot again two shot is obviously we've got Two folks here that we're gonna get in the same frame at the same time this isn't singles This is a two shot So we refer to dirty and clean and before, but in this case it would be clean except I decided to grab some glasses from behind the bar and stack them here So I put a nice foreground element as I'm sliding back and forth and it's gonna look really cool So before we can get to shoot we we had the scratch audio coming from the camera before on the first shot But now that we're in a two-shot.

What are we doing to get better audio well now that I'm tighter I actually was able to rig my rode mic here on a boom pole over top of them It's not gonna be the best sound right now, but it's the best for the shot. I'm doing right now It's not pointing at either one of them directly so it's gonna get a little bit of both of them pretty good But not the best where I'm gonna get the best sound is when I go on for close-up So what's the lighting setup that we have right now? Well The bulbs we have our daylight and our cameras are set to daylight under the daylight setting you've got your cloudy and you've got your shady at that's just a Variation of the daylight so as of right now our whites are white Right so if we popped up this white card. We would see that everything should be pretty white mm-hmm absolutely now We also have some other variations in here We've got some tungsten bulbs in here So let's switch to tungsten so we can kind of show what's gonna happen while we're still in daylight settings on the camera Boom, so we are awash in a beautiful orange. Glow right so basically What switched here is we just changed the light to tungsten balanced light But left the camera set to the daylight white balance so what would we do here to get the proper white balance? I mean we have tungsten lights on now so we should switch our camera to tungsten all right, so let's do that all right So there's another look inside to sum it up.

We're gonna give you all the tools and fundamentals You need to go out into the world today and create amazing video content with your DSLR.
