THE GIMBAL MASTERCLASS WITH BRANDON LI – A NEW ONLINE TRAINING COURSE FOR GIMBAL MOVEMENT
MAKE YOUR NEXT VIDEO YOUR BEST ONE YET
Gimbals are the latest trend in camera movement, allowing a single operator to do what used to require an entire crew of people (and a lot of expensive gear!)
Now you can create incredible camera moves with only the gear that fits in your backpack.
But it takes skill to get your gimbal moves to really shine. You can’t just plug in the right settings and expect Hollywood-level results.
I’ve been using gimbals every day for the past 5 years, and I have developed a signature style of fluid movement. Some people even call me the “Gimbal God”.
I’ve used gimbals to film award-winning short films around the world, as well as commercials and music videos.
To me, gimbals are more than just a tool. They’re a paintbrush for creating visual art. And now I’m teaching you how to paint in your own voice.
This is everything you need to get started using your gimbal.
And if you’re already an experienced operator, you’ll be able to take your skills to an even higher level.
This is an intensive course, starting with the basics of setting up and balancing your gimbal, then teaching you dozens of essential gimbal moves. You’ll even learn how your gimbal can imitate a crane, jib, or drone!
Then, we go out to the real world and I demonstrate how I shoot in a crowded, difficult environment. You’ll see there’s a lot more to learn than just how to move your feet.
Finally, I show you how to craft a narrative “one-take” scene: an entire scene in one shot. You’ll learn how to break a scene down into “beats”. You’ll learn blocking and rehearsal. And I’ll show you my special techniques for using autofocus in complex scenes. This lesson is its own mini-masterclass in gimbal storytelling.
