and a software that can cut video. Here are 5 super-simple
video hacks! Cinecom's intro music] Jordy here for cinecom.net
and welcome to Creative Tuesday, and let's kick it off with the first
video hack called the bullet time, which was made famous
by The Matrix film. Take a chord as a distance reference
to where your subject stands. Let your subject take a pose,
he or she can even jump in the air, but you wanna grab a
picture at the right time. Try to use your display's info
to align the subject, because in the next shot, after you've
moved about 15 degrees around, you snap another picture
on that same place. Keep doing this
for an entire round. And once you got all your pictures,
simply place them all together in your favorite video editing software. Every picture now becomes one frame and
you got yourself a quick Bullet Time effect. Video hack number 2! Ever thought
about creating an infinite zoom? Well, It’s quite easy, actually! You start off with a first shot of anything
while stepping backwards. You then take this clip and load it
into anything that can play it back, for example, my phone. I play the clip and film it so
that it covers my entire view. At a certain point Yannick, the camera
guy, will also step backwards. You then load this clip into another
device and do the exact same thing. Repeat this as much
as you want. Finally, bring all of your clips into
your video editing program. We are using Adobe Premiere Pro. Just place all of your clips in the
right order next to each other. And after that, you wanna
seamlessly cut them together. So, trim your first clip to the same point
where you start walking backwards... ...in your second shot. It takes a little bit of time to find the right
spot, but once you got a little sequence, it looks awesome! [Music fades in] Hack Number 3! On one of our previous videos Lorenzo
did a great job at playing Harry Potter, so, today he can do that again! Simply film your subject while
he or she jumps into the air. Every time you wanna move
a little bit further. It's best that you film this from
a tripod to avoid any shake. In post production, you cut away every part
where Lorenzo stands on the floor, so you end up with a sequence
of him floating through the air. And, if you wanna get that
static tripod shot away, you can select the whole bunch,
right-click and choose Nest. On that nested sequence I'm
adding a fake camera motion which is a free-to-download
pack from our website. Number 4! Let your talent
stand on a little height. Take distance with your camera and lay
a mug with water in it in front of your lens. Try to align the two perspectives. Important now is that both the foreground
and background are in focus. So, what you wanna do
is close your aperture, which will increase
the depth of field. Then let your actor jump down and after
he did, drop a little rock into the mug. In post production, just cut out the part
where you dropped the rock and align the jump with
the water splash. And this perspective trick
can be used for many things. It's one of the oldest
film tricks in the book! And that brings us
to the last one! [Clap] The easiest way to make
a hyper-lapse! Snap a picture, take one step forward, snap
another one, one step forward, etcetera. What you wanna pay attention to
while doing this is like with the first trick, that you align a specific point of a building
or whatever with something on your display. The smaller your steps and the more pictures
you grab, the cooler the effect will be. In post production, you again wanna place
every picture as one frame in your timeline. It's really important that we're going
to stabilize the entire footage now. There're two ways of doing that. The first one
is if you're not so familiar with editing yet. What you then wanna do
is create a small square. Position this to that same point you were
aligning to, while making the pictures. With every frame, you wanna
adjust its position now, so that it perfectly matches
with that little dot. On the final end, you
nest everything together and scale that group
a little bit up. If everything went well, you would
see now a smooth hyper-lapse. For those who are familiar
with Adobe After Effects: with the build-in tracker you can
set the track type to Stabilize and let your tracking point
move with that building. This obviously goes a lot faster! [Music] I wanna thank our channel sponsor
