All language subtitles for 2.10 Followed Shot - Drone Pro Academy

I guess our next shot is the followed shot
or the chase shot.

So with this show,

it's kind of like the other shot,
except we're actually chasing the object.

So I've done the shot
a lot for car commercials

and both stuff, things that are moving.

What you're going to do
is, let's see, we've got our car,

our fancy car right here.

Looks more like a van
or a Suburban or something.

Just kidding.

All right, so the car is going
to be driving away from us

and what we're going to stand
is we're going to stand

right behind the car,

okay.

With our little transmitter.

And so we're going to take the drone

and bring it up.

And you can either bring it up like right
in front of you or a little bit higher.

But as the car drives away,

then you're just
going to try and keep up with it, right?

So you're going to have to do a top down
view as well.

So the perspective wise.

Okay, So let's see,
we've got our car right here

and the car is going to be driving
in this direction.

You want to be standing right here

in this spot.

So you want to be right dead center
because

depending on the shot.

But typically, this is a cool shot
to be just dead center with the car.

And so the way to do that,
it's going to be standing right behind it.

So as he's driving off,

you want to just try and follow them
as closely as possible and then as he gets

far and far away, then you can lift up
and kind of do it tilt down

to keep on following the car.

Or you can slow down almost to to a crawl.

So you slow down right about here
and then just look forward

with your camera
to show him kind of going off

into the sunset or whatever.

There's another option you can do here.

So we're looking at our top down view.

So you start the drone right here
as he's driving forward.

You can fly to the right
and kind of track him

as he's going along, Like, say
you've got a bridge or something, right.

You can track him along as he's
cruising forward

or you can even do a really cool shot

where I do another example
here, I'll do the bigger one.

Okay, so this is this is our car.

So I can do another shot
where the drone starts on a side

like this.

And by the way, make sure you have radio
communication with your person driving

because you need to be able to tell him
the start, stop, turn around,

stuff like that.

So make sure you have a radio
for the guy that that you're filming here.

And so we're going to do
is I'll be standing here still

for this shot.

And as he's pulling forward in a way,

you can take the drone
and kind of chase up with him

and say he's about here,
but not here by now.

And then you're going

to do a wrap around him
as he continues to go forward

and your camera operator
is going to focus on him.

So you kind of got this.

It's like a 180 wraparound.

But as he's moving, so the car is moving
and so so so the car is moving forward

and the drone starts here

and then wraps around him
and stays focused on him the whole way up.

And then also speed, car speed
can be a big issue, trying to figure out

that that sweet spot sometimes, you know,
you just got to tell me, go slow or fast.

Just try multiple takes.

It just takes time sometimes to
to figure it out.

All right.

So the next trick you can do for
the shot is say you have a car right here

and you got those like the super long kind
of winding road that goes up a canyon.

You can do the shot
where you follow behind him.

So you're right

here and you're going to follow
as long as possible.

And then once
he kind of gets away from you, especially

if it's a sports car,
sometimes they just they'll just rip.

And he's way down and down here.

Then you just climb, right?

You just climb super, super high.

And then you tell him,
you know, after the first 7 seconds,

once you start driving,
I want you to floored as fast as possible.

So he'll just be cruising,
kind of going slow.

But the problem is once you go high,
then he looks like he's going slow.

If he's just going to your regular speed.

So you tell him just to punch it

after about 7 seconds or so
and then he'll just start florina.

And so as you climb away, then it still
looks like he's moving quick.

So that's just a tip for that shot.

And we're going to go out right now.

We'll find a car
and we'll shoot this shot right now.

Here we go.

Okay, This is the follow shot so you can
follow motorcycles, cars, stuff like that.

And yeah, so you.

Can follow like straight behind.

You can do like a wrap around
to the left, to the right.

You can even pass them if you want.

This right here.

I kind of let them go ahead of us.

This is for a Subaru commercial.

And yeah, you kind of see them
through the spires and then.

We just.

Kind of slow down and lift straight up.

As they take off.

And here's one.

I'm standing on the top right
as you can see there.

And some Sam boarding in Peru.

And so I'm just cruising down with them,
trying to stay up with them.

And the camera operator tracks them
and it makes for a really cool shot.

All right, guys, here we go.

This is the followed shot.

We're going to slide down to the car
and then he is going to

pull towards us and we're going to try
and stay in front of him the whole time.

So John's going to help me out

as far as telling me
if I need to go faster or slower.

He's looking at my screen.
We're doing The Phantom. At the moment.

And then as you can see, you want to have
a really good perspective.

So like,
you know, flying from here might be okay

because you can kind of see, you know,

how far away you are
from from the car this way.

And if we go head
on, that could also work.

But if you're going to be head
on, you want to make sure

that you're just not down in front of him.

In between you,
you want to be to the right or higher or.

To the left.

So I really like this vista over here.

I love this lake.

So we're going to be kind of pointed.

This way a little bit.

And you got to watch out
for any wires, trees.

So just kind of do a quick look for that.

And then the good thing
is just to kind of walk and just stare

and then make sure there's no like wires
or anything weird like that.

So do we.

That is just a walk
and just stare and kind of see,

you know, what the 3D elements are.

So we do have a bunch of pole poles right
here, as you can see,

and we don't want to hit those. So.

Okay, here we go.

Ready?

Okay, Roland,
the whole point has been updated.

Take off

a little bit winded.

You have a nice shot
that's going up up there.

I got some wind gusts going.

So I'm going to stay in Jeep's mode
because I'm

a little bit windy,

so I'm in charge of it down low.

And yeah, to me
it looks like I'm already to him.

But as you can tell on the screen, I have.

Got a ways. To go

because I'm going to drop it down low

right about there.

I mean, Jeep's Man.

Yeah, okay.

I think we are.

Just my exposure

helicopter up here

and then they can fly this high.

Yeah, he's really high.

It's crazy.

He's way high. All right, you ready?

He's super high up there, guys.

So we're totally safe.

He's okay.

He's, like, a thousand feet up.

All right, Ready?

Okay, go ahead and send them.

All right.

3 to 1.

Tell me.

Go faster.

A little faster, faster,
faster, faster, faster, faster,

faster, faster.

Okay,

so I'm pulling back really fast right now.

That's suppose close to the poles,

and then I'm going to kind of go up

and then reveal whatever is behind him.

See that?

So he kind of left the frame

and, you know, it
all takes a bunch of adjustments, right?

At first I tell him this just to kind of
go really slow, but it wasn't fast enough.

So we told him to to speed up
so we could try it again if we want.

But I was pretty happy with that.

Yeah.

As you can tell on my sticks,
you just had to stay very, very smooth.

Very, very smooth.

I'm going.

Gonna go ahead and get

another shot

without the car.

Okay.

So I'm going to try a shot.

This is going to be

the jib motion shot,

so. Okay, guys, we're going to drop down.

So we have.

Sure.

All right,
pull into the bridge, flip around, drive

that way.

You say like

he goes in regular speed, like ten.

All right, You're going to go
about ten miles an hour.

Okay. So we're going to do it.

Did that that jib up move?

Here we go.

And I'm gonna do a nice tilt down.

So that's pretty good

timing. This is slightly off.

The timing is a little bit off.

So you just got to keep on doing,
you know, guys like

if you don't
get the first time, just keep on trying.

So it's great to happen.

Flip around.

So yeah, I can do that.

That same jib movement,
I'm going to do a little bit

of a push pull forward as well.

So I'm tilting up a little bit

and then I'm using the trigger
that we have.

I'm sorry,
the little round tilt adjustment.

And I, I that I'll share those settings
with you guys.

Okay, Ready?

Okay, go ahead.

Right.

Action.

These are my bad.

Don't Action again.

Action.

Then go faster.

A little faster.

Okay, here we go.

It's a nice tilt.

I'm just holding it still.

I'm just holding that.

That tilt nice and still.

Okay, so there's a fisherman.
I want to bother him.

So I'm going to stop this shot right?

Right there.

And yeah, that was a cool jib and a little
bit of a push forward shot as well.

Okay, guys.

So we're
going to the following shot right now.

And you want to try and get behind them

as much as possible, depending on the shot
that you're going for.

So the shot we're going to go for is I'm
just going to follow him down the canyon

and then we're going to reveal

kind of this really, really nice,
nice vista.

He's going to go around the bend
and then tell him to stop.

When we tell him to stop,

although he

it'll be like

30 seconds after he goes around the bend,
probably about 10 seconds,

and then have him turn around and stop
and wait for us.

To wait for.

Okay, ready?

Yeah, go ahead.

Actually,

normal driving speed.

That's good. That's good.

Okay, so I'm watch the

monitor
for doing a little bit of a thirds here

and then I'm going to not do a
nice and slow nice pan.

I'm going to speed up so I get up there.

Nice pan to reveal
the bigness of American Fork Canyon.

Look at that.

Oh, boy.

Has a gorgeous. Day,

so it has a cool shot.

All right,
Go ahead and start having flip around.

Tell him to watch out for
for the car behind him.

Is the guy behind you to

usually the roads would be blocked
off for these kinds of shots.
