Scott, aside from getting a sneak peek into your production, the BTS shows all of us just how much work actually goes into making one of your films. Nicely done!
Hey there, it's actually a Feiyutech AK4500. I don't really use it though since the motors don't work as quickly as the Ronin. After testing, it mostly sits in the box.
Sick video, I was asking my self how do you white balance your shots. I have a gh5 and sometime in the forest I find It difficult too nail it because of all the greens. Thanks :p
Thanks Gabriel! I totally hear ya when it comes to WB in the forest, it definitely puts a green cast on your footage, particularly noticeable with skin tones. In most situations things are so fast paced on a shoot day that I'm running the same WB most of the day if conditions aren't changing much. Often times I will use the daylight preset which is about 5600K or cloudy if it's overcast. If I have the extra time the best thing to do is use a grey card to get accurate WB. That said, I find that there is enough latitude in my GH5 footage to fix most issues with green color cast in post. Sometimes I will need to isolate the skin with HSL secondary in Lumetri and adjust it on it's own but this almost always works. Good luck!
Hey Danie, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! The rig you are seeing is the Feiyu Tech AK4500 gimbal with GH5, Rokinon 14mm, Sennheiser MKE 600. I can't recommend the Feiyu Tech after using it for a bit. It's a decent gimbal but doesn't have powerful enough motors to keep up with action sports if that is your thing.
Hey, thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the vid. In terms of nailing focus, I prefocus before the rider drops in. I'll either have them stand where they will be riding or find an object to prefocus on. There are situations where I will pull focus as the rider approaches the camera but in most cases, I prefocus my shots. Beyond that, I use focus peaking and have a large enough monitor to see focus well.
Nice video man... I was wondering whats your favorite aputure to shot mtb video. I have the gh5 with sigma too. Action sport is not easy to keep focus :p Thanks
Hey Gabriel, thanks for watching. Aperture varies depending on the situation. I'm often shooting in low light forests so I'm at f2.8. I pick my most important area of focus before the rider is coming at me and then I know that moment will be sharp. Trying to track a subject and rack focus is really challenge so I try to keep the focus plan static.
See like these behind the scenes are always way more fascinating to me than the videos themselves, like did you guys specifically bring that collapsable ladder for that shot or it was a "be prepared and bring it" kind of situation?
Hey, thanks for the comment. We brought the ladder with a rough idea in mind. I didn't have the specific jump in my head but knew I wanted to try and get a unique angle. With all the boosty jumps something up high seemed fun to try for.
Such sick shots. How are you not drenched in sweat? Whenever I am doing client work, the nerves combined with the weight of the all gear always makes me sweat.
Thanks! Don't be fooled, the day before I was soaked. It involved much more hiking with lots of gear. This location was right near a road with minimal distance between shots so once we were there I was just dealing with my camera.

@@ScottBell Thanks a lot for your time and tips :)
Anytime man!
Totally enjoyed it Scott! :) What is the rig you have at 1:10?

@@ScottBell ahh noted. Thanks for relying
This might sound daft but..
How do you nail focus of a rider who is in the air ?
Love this video, great work !

@@ScottBell amazing thanks so much ! Deffo have to try that next time :)

@@ScottBell thanks a lot for the response I am planing to do mtb film too ...
No prob, good luck with it. All about finding the right angles.
@@ScottBell taking notes :p

Look so easy. But doing his stunts...I would surely be dead.
Hahah yup, Mark is a gnarly rider! Thanks for watching.
