Hi guys my name is Oliver Astrologo and today I'm gonna talk about the
production process behind the Catalunya video, also I will give you some tips and
some insights about my creative approach
I was truly impressed by the big variety of flavours, colors and destinations that
Catalunya can offer many of you are aware about Barcelona a city with
thousand and thousand of things to do and also enriched with the amazing masterpieces
of the architect Antoni Gaudí Catalunya is not only Barcelona as this
land will cover any needs that you can have, regardless if you a fanatic of the
mountain hiking or you prefer to relax at the sea
so you can now imagine how challenging is
to put everything in a just a three-minutes video, when the Catalan
Tourism board contacted us for creating this video I was pretty excited
despite we have planned the whole trip and we careful decided every location
we managed to keep enough of free time for experimenting it happened very often
when when we were driving or travelling around the region to stop and discover
something that we found interesting
the whole shooting took approximately
two weeks my team was composed by four people myself two camera operators that
helped me to capture different points of view of the same scenes and an assistant
it was crucial to get the support of a location manager that brought us in
the right places and also helped us to find the people that would have enhanced
the storytelling and gave an extra color to the video for this project we have
collected over 6000 4k different clips at the end for creating the final video we
used approximately 350 different Clips ok guys now let's talk about my
equipment and my mostly used camera was the sony 6500 i loved this camera
because it's really small a really affordable works like a charm with
the Zhiyun Crane combined with a Manfrotto monopod
my second camera was
the sony a7r2 i love this camera because can provide excellent
video quality and also can be used for getting some nice stills
between one shot and other if you need to get some nice point of view shots for
example the point of view the climber of the mountain
I suggest use the GoPro Hero 5 this camera also can be used for getting
some nice underwater shots most of the beautiful aerial images that
you can watch in Catalonia video where captured using the support of a local
company called Aeroshots they provided us an Hexacopter equipped with a
Panasonic GH4 camera
my mostly used lens consists in
the wide angle is a Sony 10-18 millimeters that works like a charm
combined with the Sony a6500 I like the cinematic look that the sony 28
millimeters is capable to provide this lens combined it with the sony a6500
become a 35 millimeters that is my favorite focal because it's the
closest to the focal composition of the human eye for capturing a more close-up
shots used sorry 55mm 1.8 and also a telephoto lens forgetting the far
subjects if you want to know more about my gear and some technical aspect of my
work you can have a look to the medium story I published you can
find a link down in the caption on this video have you heard the sound? If you
listen this video using your headphones you can feel different layers of sounds
all these sound effects that you can listen in Catalonia video where achieved
just using my smartphone or an h4 sound recorder i think that the music is
a crucial element to give the emotional feeling into the video i worked with
Max he is a very talented composer from Canada he already collaborated
with me in the creation of my previous videos Rome Malta and Vietnam let's have
a look or what Max has to say about this video hey I'm Max ll I wrote the
music for Oliver Astrologo's catalonia video and for the music in the
film we really wanted to meet the music to have this cinematic feel while still
maintaining colors and influences of music of catalonia and the way we did
that was to integrate two elements in the music the first is the catalan rumba
which is the rhythm you hear the guitars playing in the background track
and secondly we use an instrument called the Gralla which is a typical instrument
that you hear towards the end of the track
be creative when you are
adding your sounds to your videos these shots for example where you can listen the
train I combined the sound using a rattlesnake toy to give the feeling
of movement of the camera you can also alter the pitch the length of every
sample in premiere or you can even reverse them to get a transformed
sound in something that is completely different from the original one
I received a lot of question about the transition guys transition are not as
important storytelling is the important aspect of your video before applying any
transition or special effects watch your video without any effects to see how the
flows works either way I don't use any plug-in for creating my transitions all
the effects the movements are organic just obtained with the camera
so guys if you want to start making travel videos my suggestion are
think about a story and find a character that could be the main subject of your story
try to combine different environments with the story the Gralla maker that you
can see here was combined it with the house on the lake to create the feeling that
he was living inside try to get in contact with the local people get close
to them start talking with them a absorb their stories explain what you are
doing to them they will open to you and probably they will invite you to
discover something that is unexpected that could be a very nice aspect for
your video one of the most difficult bit is to make sure that the every
location is not filled with people especially tourists or things that are
not related to destination one of the most challenging items in catalunya
video was the shooting the human Tower so I managed it with my collaborators to
shoot the same scene from different angles at the same time one shooting
from the top another one getting the details of the faces for the people and
I was free with my gimbal to move around the tower and get some nice shot on
different point of view thank you for watching guys I hope you enjoyed this
behind the scene videos please feel free to leave any comments or questions in the
box below I need to say thanks to all the people collaborators that were
involved in the creation of this video and of course and the Catalan tourism board
agency for this amazing challenge please keep watching don't forget to
subscribe because there are new tutorials new behind the scenes videos on
the way thanks again
