  • A look into the transitions from #UALA -- Transitions (or stitches) are hidden cuts between multiple shots to give off the illusion of looking like one continuous shot.
    I'll try to do more BTS videos like this in the future 👊🏾
    Also shout out to Heiki's actor, Jay Kwon, for being ridiculously consistent. Made my job so much easier lol

    Filmmakers -- Feel free to download this video and try editing the transition points for yourselves with the raw footage. It might be good practice. All it takes is a bit of reframing and a good cutting point. You might even find better points than me 👀

  • @jason-composer
    @jason-composer 2 года назад +27

    The process seems awesome to make this a reality; forethought in the story for how some powers might be displayed on-screen (or a fun on-screen idea that turned out to be useful to plug into the story), and then creating choreography and studying martial movements to plan ahead for transition points. Not to mention the camera on top that blends it all together consistently. Really awesome, fight choreographers, stunt people, camera techs, everyone's got my deepest respect :)

  • @trevenantlord988
    @trevenantlord988 2 года назад +14

      @@bobthebuilder8110 Indeed. If money is a concern they could always start a GoFundMe or something of some sort. People will be happy to chip in. They even managed to do the Pilot without any expensive costs (other than equipment and talented people). Normally there'd have to sets and CGI and whatnot, but this looked pristine and well-crafted without much being spent. I bet fans would even be happy with minimalist sets if this quality continues (although creative-block and burnout could be issues, so I understand if that is an issue).

    I still can't get over how fluid these edits actually are. Using someone's arm as a wipe cut inside frame makes it look so natural it's unreal. I may have to have a go at this kind of edit myself and try and tie it into the project I'm shooting next year.

    This is the best original live action ever created from anime for now and for a very long time, in terms of story, and visual effects. In just 15 minutes or so, it totally feels like a cinematic movie. To me, nothing will beat this any time soon.

Like doing the same actions with the different weapons is so smart and sick
