How To Shoot a FITNESS VIDEO - Lighting & B-ROLL - Cinematic Breakdown

  Marijke felt ;

I post from scratch the flow between shots was really easy in the edit because of the similar up and down movements making it easy to do match cuts, more importantly, was the shot list  I had every type of exercise planned out according to what Marijke felt comfortable with and she knew  she was good at for example the boxing Marijke has a lot of experience here which comes through in an  the authentic and powerful way I specifically chose her because of her athletic ability to exercise  hard but also because she's a working actress which made directing her super easy   if I missed anything and you have any more questions feel free to drop them in the comments.

Projector Attachment;

Projector attachment for a focused rim light and running it off a v-mount battery made it easy to  move around for each shot this light was a great way to motivate the power tubes from behind but  also to create some flares when shooting directly into the light on that note you might have noticed  some strange flares here and there but they were most certainly not coming from the lens  but was created in a post in resolve and I feel like they add a nice touch to the form To get even more depth we use the hazer and here it's always important to try and spread the haze around   as even as possible and to let it settle to avoid seeing it move around like smoke as for audio a  film of this nature is really difficult to sound design post and I decided to bring in a foley .

 Dominated;

Artist the challenge however was the general noise in the gym being dominated by the sound  of crickets and cars passing by a busy street, Jason quickly identified the bathroom as the  an ideal place to record the sounds not only because it was quiet but also because it had the right  amount of acoustic to sound like it could be in the gym we had our model do a variety of workouts  and recorded a whole bunch of breathing sounds at different tempos and these sounds really  brought the edit to life the only sound we recorded in the gym was the silt  bike because it overpowers the external sounds using an on-site foley artist has many benefits  and doing the sound in the post was an absolute breeze compared to how long it usually takes me if I do .
