guys welcome to another behind the scenes i am ibrahim would be finally in this episode is going to be showing you guys how we shoot some of the pre-rolls the pre-roll the whole process of a pre-roll involves quite a bit of planning quite a bit of discussion with the advertiser in terms of what they want us to do and also obviously adding our own element to the whole equation and so today we're shooting the pre roles for the fractal design fans both 140 and 120 ventre venturi fans which are while i guess i don't know what to say about the fans but we are doing the same similar spin on to our as to our previous mural where it would define s where we did the whole and sexy spin so there's going to be an awkward episode because it's gonna be quite a bit of sexualized 33 ended and you were here is help here to help me film it so let me show you what we have so far give you a bit of rundown on the idea for the whole pre-roll and how we came up with it so the whole idea is to actually be a funny sequence or funny pre-roll for fractal and we did come up with some ideas with Josh of course you know it's all scripted it's all done so we're just in the preparation of you know clip being the fan setup and we're just about to test the pants and it should be fun I'm really expecting something funny out of it as well but at the same time and wanted to make it more creative from the other of the competition so usually fun we have 4 120 millimeters set up and what we're trying to do is create this contraption that will pull my hair in the sequence of the actual pre-roll in order to power all these fans obviously we don't want to you know create a new system that would these fans will be connected to but it's a simple contraption of having a single molex cable believe it or not powering the whole thing I was worried that there might not be enough power but we jump our jumped a power supply you know using the black and green paper clip method work beautifully so let's so as you can see they're working right now just did a little test run before actually creating or before piecing them all together but they are working and we're ready to somehow generate these for fans so that looks awesome for video alright so we just finished this one shot we're setting up for about 15 minutes I was really close to the camera we're doing a macro shot of my eye where there's a water drop dropping from my eye lid to indicate how hot and sweaty the scene is for this mural turned out beautiful so this is kind of what I was trying to demonstrate so I have my light and I wasn't really shining it into my face because it kept over exposes me but angle it in a certain way that it gives the side of the shot a bit of purple hinge and you can actually see that on the Sony rx100 so that is what you'll see in the final shot of the fractal design venturi for you all so now Bieber the first shot is done let's do the rest date all right we just finished our second shot in my hallway here and you can see Bieber hiding behind over there he we set up the camera on the floor with a slider and what that allowed us to do is get a quick slow motion shot with motion of the slider as I moved into the into the shower maybe dynamic than cool quickly set up with two lights one firing from the bathroom and one just a softbox just over here to be very give us a very dramatic lighting effect than a little bit extra things in post-production to give the whole pre-roll very creative look next on to the next Rodriguez yeah yeah let's do it do it things we do for the bureau guys just to give you a little preface of what we're doing right now we're preparing for the soap shot so right now so then I'm gonna slice it back down put some salt on my hair so that we can get this shot you own all right ebert what's up he's good all right guys we just found my shot and now it's so funny this is what I look like so quite a bit of a folk following my hair combing his hair but that's the whole idea men getting a shot harbor connect style this is what we do so yeah all right we did the final shoot this is the setup for the jerry-rigged triple fan it worked out great no problems with it so far and the single molex connector actually was able to power all these fans on just perfectly fine and there's so much air for coming out of these fans that we almost ended up not using a blow dryer all right so it is the morning after we shot the pre-roll I think it went extremely successful we finish the whole thing in just about four hours and I think reviewing the shots later on really liking what I saw so now I just have to fill in a couple of more b-roll things and let me show you what i'm doing here behind me okay so this is the setup i have the gh4 with olympus 12 to 40 millimeters just because i need to stop down my aperture and the sigma does not go all the way to f 20 which is this camera setup currently it's on the same level as the fan and i positioned a couple of faculty sign boxes behind there because i didn't want to leave the background fully just white or empty I needed some context as to why this fan is in the front obviously because there are more fan options for consumers to choose from so the shot here is all about highlighting this object in the front and i'm using my handy-dandy light that i manually rotate within the scene so that can get really cool shadows and cool light play as i like to call it so right now i'm shooting at f 20 which means the everything in turn the camera is super super dark and i'm shooting at two hundredth of a second which means the shutter speed is really fast and i'm shooting at 60p which means i will be slowing it down to get that slow motion effect and that's why the shutter speed is alright but look what happens when I move this fan and move the slide above the fan it will only highlight certain objects of the fan like blades and maybe the background I can do you know I can maybe start off something like this and then move it down and keep the the light away from the lens so doesn't actually enter the shot but I know where that is so I'm very careful and just I start recording and I do this multiple times within the exact same shot so I don't have to go back and cut everything and then in Premiere just choose the lighting movement that I like the most out of the whole thing and that would be it this shot here very simple camera in the front fan and literally just one light and that concludes the behind the scenes of us shooting the fractal design pre-roll it was a really fun shoot it was a little bit awkward than some moments when I had to basically shower and get my hair wet and get the soap in there but one thing that we realized to do is get the shop set up before knowing what that's going to look like and then I went in and we actually did the hair but hey man clean here now don't have to shower so why don't we enjoyed this behind the scenes thank so much for watching make sure to
