can you guess which technique made me can you guess which technique made me fall in love with motion control it's fall in love with motion control it's fall in love with motion control it's called the repeat pass repeat called the repeat pass repeat called the repeat pass repeat pass repeat pass repeat pass repeat pass repeat pass repeat pass repeat pass yep the repeat pass let's roll that intro hey guys welcome back today we're intro hey guys welcome back today we're learning about repeat pass this is the learning about repeat pass this is the learning about repeat pass this is the technique of replicating the exact same technique of replicating the exact same technique of replicating the exact same camera movement multiple times in a row camera movement multiple times in a row camera movement multiple times in a row and it opens up a world of creative and it opens up a world of creative and it opens up a world of creative possibilities elements within your scene possibilities elements within your scene possibilities elements within your scene can be changed after each pass and can be changed after each pass and can be changed after each pass and composited together or removed in post composited together or removed in post composited together or removed in post now when it comes to compositing now when it comes to compositing now when it comes to compositing elements together this is already elements together this is already elements together this is already possible with any sturdy tripod just be possible with any sturdy tripod just be possible with any sturdy tripod just be mindful not to bump it in between takes mindful not to bump it in between takes mindful not to bump it in between takes when you want to add camera movements when you want to add camera movements when you want to add camera movements into the equation there is no way to into the equation there is no way to into the equation there is no way to achieve a true repeat pass other than achieve a true repeat pass other than achieve a true repeat pass other than with motion control motion control with motion control motion control with motion control motion control guarantees that the camera will follow guarantees that the camera will follow guarantees that the camera will follow the exact same path through space at the the exact same path through space at the the exact same path through space at the exact same speed and it will synchronize exact same speed and it will synchronize exact same speed and it will synchronize to the camera shutter so that it opens to the camera shutter so that it opens to the camera shutter so that it opens and closes at the exact same points in and closes at the exact same points in and closes at the exact same points in time along the path let's say you wanted time along the path let's say you wanted time along the path let's say you wanted to film multiple animals in one room to film multiple animals in one room to film multiple animals in one room working with one animal is already working with one animal is already working with one animal is already challenging but trying to film multiple challenging but trying to film multiple challenging but trying to film multiple in one room all interacting with each in one room all interacting with each in one room all interacting with each other at the same time would be almost other at the same time would be almost other at the same time would be almost impossible with repeat passes you can impossible with repeat passes you can impossible with repeat passes you can isolate each animal's performance and isolate each animal's performance and isolate each animal's performance and then composite them together later o then composite them together later o then composite them together later o hello my dear would you care to join me hello my dear would you care to join me hello my dear would you care to join me for dinner later what's about my for dinner later what's about my for dinner later what's about my boyfriend well I like elephants but I boyfriend well I like elephants but I boyfriend well I like elephants but I couldn't eat a whole one not only is couldn't eat a whole one not only is couldn't eat a whole one not only is this better for performance but it will this better for performance but it will this better for performance but it will be safer as well repeat past can be be safer as well repeat past can be be safer as well repeat past can be captured at different locations and captured at different locations and captured at different locations and different points in time which can different points in time which can different points in time which can enhance your storytelling abilities and enhance your storytelling abilities and enhance your storytelling abilities and also offer Creative Solutions to dealing also offer Creative Solutions to dealing also offer Creative Solutions to dealing with scheduling conflicts in addition with scheduling conflicts in addition with scheduling conflicts in addition repeat passes can be captured at repeat passes can be captured at repeat passes can be captured at different frame rates this gives the different frame rates this gives the different frame rates this gives the illusion that fast and slow moving illusion that fast and slow moving illusion that fast and slow moving elements can exist in the same scene at elements can exist in the same scene at elements can exist in the same scene at the same time as you may know lighting the same time as you may know lighting the same time as you may know lighting for wide shots is sometimes more for wide shots is sometimes more for wide shots is sometimes more challenging than lighting for tight challenging than lighting for tight challenging than lighting for tight shots well with the help of motion shots well with the help of motion shots well with the help of motion control and repeat passes you can bring control and repeat passes you can bring control and repeat passes you can bring those lights closer to your subjects to those lights closer to your subjects to those lights closer to your subjects to achieve the desired look even if they're achieve the desired look even if they're achieve the desired look even if they're within the frame once you're satisfied within the frame once you're satisfied within the frame once you're satisfied with the take just remember to shoot a with the take just remember to shoot a with the take just remember to shoot a clean plate so that you can easily clean plate so that you can easily clean plate so that you can easily remove those lights and light stands and remove those lights and light stands and remove those lights and light stands and posts a Clean Plate can be thought of as posts a Clean Plate can be thought of as posts a Clean Plate can be thought of as a background element it's essentially a background element it's essentially a background element it's essentially when you run the move without any Talent when you run the move without any Talent when you run the move without any Talent equipment or foreground elements in the equipment or foreground elements in the equipment or foreground elements in the scene another great technique to use scene another great technique to use scene another great technique to use with repeat passes is the match cut a with repeat passes is the match cut a with repeat passes is the match cut a match cut is a type of transition that match cut is a type of transition that match cut is a type of transition that links two shots using similar visuals or links two shots using similar visuals or links two shots using similar visuals or camera motion we can make match Cuts camera motion we can make match Cuts camera motion we can make match Cuts feel seamless by using motion control feel seamless by using motion control feel seamless by using motion control and repeat passes to ensure that the and repeat passes to ensure that the and repeat passes to ensure that the background or camera motion remains background or camera motion remains background or camera motion remains exactly the same the best part is that exactly the same the best part is that exactly the same the best part is that all these techniques can be used all these techniques can be used all these techniques can be used together and sometimes they should be together and sometimes they should be together and sometimes they should be used together to make everything feel used together to make everything feel used together to make everything feel more real all right guys that is it for more real all right guys that is it for more real all right guys that is it for this video I hope you
