5 transitions: Simple and gorgeous

Welcome to creative Tuesday, friends. In this series, we will share with you cool tips and techniques for filmmakers. And I am the host of Jordi with Cinecom.Net. Today we will look at 5 super simple, but delightful transitions that you can do using a camera or a simple installation reception. We will start with the shift of the foreground. Place some object from the foreground to the frame, then just move the camera, make a frame and return the camera back. Now you can connect it with a similar frame where you use another front plan object.

You can move in the same direction during the transition, or in the opposite, creating a small collision effect. I often used such transitions in a promo video boutique-city. By the way, if someone is interested in which cell I use for my camera, then this is Vary-I Dlsr for Panasonic Lumix. They sent it to me, but they do not sponsor and do not expect anything from this video.

I just want to options express gratitude to them, because it is a very cool cage. You can get to all the buttons, there is a belt and a pretty good viewfinder that wrapps up the display.

The next super simple transition, I call a turn. Again, you need any object in the foreground. This time we will not move away from the object, but turn away from it. You can even adjust the sharpness of the image of the object. But make sure you are moving fast enough, of course, when you hold the camera in your hands. On a gyrostabilizer, all this will be a little easier. Then in the next frame you begin to turn around another object in the foreground, and then return the camera to the subject of shooting. If you focused in the foreground, do not forget to focus on the foreground and in the second frame. Then turn in the same direction and at the same speed and return the focus to the shooting object.

The next transition is fasting fast movement. You have two objects that quickly move in the frame. And in one direction. You can cut any of them, creating a cool transition. Here is an example that I made for the promo video. We can see the pizza flying up and falling down, but when the pizza falls, we cut the video and go to the T -shirt, which is laid down.

The next transition of the camera is the shooting of actions that differ from the previous. The idea is to find samples of different movements. For example, while playing basketball. A typical action can be when someone beats the ball, runs to the ring and throws the ball there. But since we know that such an action takes place in this game constantly, we can remove it at different angles, as well as different players. And during post-processing you mount one player with another, but make sure that the action has a logical course. That is, if you cut the video immediately before the ball hit the floor, then in your next frame there should be a ball that hit the floor. If we take several of these personnel and mount them in series, we can get something like that.

And this transfers us to the last transition – overclocking the speed. You need to increase the speed of the last part of your first frame. And then speed up the first part of the second frame. The unification of these two frames will move forward the middle, and this will make the video the video very attractive. This technique works in the best way, if you shoot, holding the camera in your hands and slowly move in a certain direction or lead a camera behind a moving object.
