New work! Explainer for Skedda. Quick how-to below, but special thanks to the creative team behind this one first. Arthur Lembo on motion graphics & edits. Colby Todisco on cinematography. Ellie Moscati as producer extraordinaire. And actors that are def too cool for LinkedIn 😎 Also to Jenny Moebius and Jake Helman, MBA for a close partnership on script/vision. Our goal was to stand out from all the animated explainers in the desk booking space. And I think one of the easiest ways to do that is to 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁, NOT the screens. It's easy to say "show don't tell" but here's how we chose to do it. We answered these questions: Where would people 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 use this product? What are the real-world problems they'd find themselves in? How would you 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 in these situations? We wrote a story and found the talent to capture those human moments. Then we integrated the product working its magic in the background. Boom. We chose this route after competitor research, of course. Everyone was showing screens. But look at your product's market. I promise like 95% of your competitors are serving up text & UI on their ads. But yours could contain a whole ass human story. Food for thought 🍉 PS. It's not as expensive as you think to pull this off well.

This week on LinkedIn I'm sharing 10 cinematography habits to save you DAYS in the edit! A couple each day. Here's day 1! #1 - THE HOLD HABIT. Back when I was first starting out as a filmmaker, I’d get out there for a shoot and be so eager to get as many different types of shots as possible. And not in a good way. I just didn't really trust any single one of the shots I am getting right now, so I thought, let me just get a bunch of options and hope I find something I like in the edit. Combine this with the feeling of not wanting to shoot too much overall footage that I would have to wade through in post production, and the result? Well, time and time again I’d get into the edit and the camera was just bouncing around all over the place. I would hardly have any moments where I could leave a clip on screen for like 5 seconds before suddenly I was moving the frame to something else. Everything felt frantic. Nowadays I make sure that whenever I am shooting anything, even if I am almost certain a clip will only be used for a split second, I hold on that frame for 10 seconds. Literally any type of shot. Just get in the habit of holding for 10 seconds so that you have flexibility in the edit. If you start a clip, but then reframe, start your count again. I’m always just counting silently in my head. Breathing and being patient This is also important when you are going to pan, tilt or zoom. Start shooting with your camera still. Hold on that image for a 10 second silent count, then pan, tilt or zoom in one fluid motion, coming to rest on your end image and hold on that image for another 5 seconds. Give yourself options. Maybe you thought a pan was perfect while shooting, but in the edit, it doesn’t feel right. You’ll be grateful you gave yourself a still frame to work with. #2 - THE REACTION HABIT When we are shooting conversations between two or more people, it’s so tempting to always follow the action of the speaker. Almost like we are following the ball in a soccer game — only filming the person who is speaking. But when we do this, conversations become a mess to edit because we never have anything to cut to when we are editing the conversation. That’s why you need to make sure to film reaction shots from the person or people listening. This goes for conversations and it also goes for presentations in front of an audience. Use your intuition to transition from filming the speaker to the audience, use the hold habit for 10 seconds, and then you can think about what’s next. And this isn’t just about getting cutaways. Reaction shots add depth and meaning to a scene. A scene is much richer when you not only hear what someone is saying, but you understand how the person listening feels about whatever is being said.

What makes a video cinematic? 🎥🤔 Is it shooting everything in slow motion? or is it using autofocus background? The word “cinematic” is a general term, referring to any video or film produced with the features of quality motion pictures. For beginners of videography and cinematography, here's 5 best hacks to make a cinematic video: 1. Frame Your Shots to Create Depth Placing the actors and props in the right place is essential to filming. It helps to direct the audience's attention and create visually-appealing images. You can use "the rule of Thirds" 2. Create Shallow Depth of Field Crafting a shallow depth of field enables you to blur backgrounds or create a dreamy bokeh effect, making your subject stand out. This technique draws viewers' attention to the focal point, resulting in a more cinematic appearance. 3. Avoid Shaky Footage and Use Flexible Camera Movements Minimize shaky footage by stabilizing your camera using equipment like tripods or camera dollies. These tools facilitate smooth panning or tilting movements, ensuring professional-quality shots. 4. Properly Use Slow Motion Slow-motion is widely used in motion pictures to enhance a dramatic moment like the falling of raindrops, or the movement of the bullet as you have seen in the movie 5. Use Cinematic Lighting Techniques Apart from the aesthetic composition, a cinematic video also features dramatic lighting, another powerful way to create depth and shape a character's personality. Hopefully, these hacks will unleash your creativity for making a great cinematic video. Now, it's your move! #VideographyTips #CinematicVideo #VideoProduction #Cinematography #SlowMotion

Your characters come to life not just through their actions but through the way the camera dances around them, capturing every emotion and nuance. 🎥 Here's the thing: Dynamic camera movements aren't just fancy tricks; they're storytelling tools with the power to elevate your animation to new heights. Start by mastering the basics: pans, tilts, and zooms. These simple yet effective techniques can add depth and dimension to your scenes, drawing your audience deeper into your world. But don't stop there. Experiment with unconventional angles and movements. Challenge yourself to think outside the box and push the boundaries of traditional cinematography. Remember, every camera movement should serve a purpose. Whether it's to create tension, evoke emotion, or simply guide the viewer's eye, make sure each decision is intentional and adds to the overall narrative. And finally, don't be afraid to learn from others. Watch films, study animations, and dissect how different directors use camera movements to tell their stories. Inspiration is everywhere, so soak it all in and let it fuel your creativity.🌟

New Lesson: The powerful impact of Storyboards. I watched a tutorial video on storyboard recently, and was wowed by the simplicity of this technique in turning simple visuals into compelling motion pictures. The beautiful thing about it is that, you simply have to understand the idea of Camera shots and angles (I guess we all do this with our mobile phones but then, it's not merely that simple in cinematography). I found this clip from my Animation Role Model and it gave me a perfect understanding how storyboard was used to effect some action in the movie "CREED 3". The story was great, the actions and visual effects were solid, but seeing the storyboard.... mehn, it gave me thrills 💪🏾 Then it dawned on me why some movies, animated and live-action commercials are great, and some aren't.... Well,it plays largely to Storyboards. Kindly let me know your thoughts on this video and the storyboard shown below. #storyboard #cinematography #animation #motiongraphics #creativedesign
