Mura Masa What If I Go Effect
what is up people it is a beautiful Thursday afternoon
no it's definitely the morning still feeling that a little too hard and I'm
out here just outside of kind of downtown ish Edmonton Megan had an
appointment so I figured I would come out and try and get some cool shots
I need something to fill up my Instagram so I thought how can I make this
creative how can I do something a little bit different and recently conch who
we've met in the vlog before showed me this cool effect that's happening right
now in a lot of music videos it's an effect that's seen in Mura Masa music
video for what if I go or if you prefer to watch a music video with a whole lot
more butts in it then you can watch broccoli by DRAM so me and conch the
other day tried to shoot one of these but without the actual equipment that is
typically used for this and this is how it turned out
so as you can see the general idea is that your subject is kind of staying
still and it's almost like it's almost like the bullet time from the matrix
where like the camera is kind of moving around the subject but because they're
still it looks like time is kind of frozen and then it's also got the kind
of boomerang thing that we see a lot on Instagram where it's an animated thing
going back and forth so I found a cool way that I can do that without actually
having to have the original equipment that it required so I figured I'd double
up on creativity I come out downtown I try and get some shots like that but
then also add the lens ball into it last week I posted my first photo using the
lens ball and people were really loving it so I thought there's got to be a way
that I can combine the Mura Masa 3d picture effect with the lens ball so
that's what we're gonna try today but before we do any of that we got to
get breakfast
we're just chilling in the car before Megan's hair appointment she is tiny and
fits with her feet up on the dash how was breakfast
anyway back to the photography stuff when Conch showed me that effect of
course I did what any sane person would do and I went straight to YouTube to
figure out how the heck it was done I found this video that was a Justin Odisho
show video where he explained that it's actually a specific camera
it's an old film camera from the 80s then it's got four different exposures
on the piece of film so it's actually taking four side-by-side pictures at the
same time and when you take those pictures and you put them in sequence in
a video sequence or an animated gif sequence then you get that cool effect
where it kind of has like this parallax so the subject in the foreground isn't
moving but the whole background kind of feels like it is little tough to explain
but it feels like 3d space so what I hope to accomplish is to actually get
that same effect but with the lens ball cuz you see all sorts a lens ball photos
so I just kind of wanted to try and get a little bit more creative with the lens
ball effect
so first I'm going to try and get a shot of Wayne here with the effect before I
introduce the lens ball so the way that I do this is that I try and mimic the
four shots that you would get with the old eighties camera the beauty of the
eighties camera is it takes the four shots at exactly the same time so you're
actually totally freezing time so if you have something that's moving fast it's
gonna totally freeze it in my case I can't quite get that same effect but
what I can do is if I have a subject that's standing still like I don't know
a statue or something like that or like in the example of conch I just got him
to stand really still and so it kind of looks like you're getting the four shots
at the same time then I set my camera like the high-speed shooting so I think
it takes like 11 frames per second or something like that so once you set your
camera to take the shots in succession like that you just have to move your
camera slightly so that it looks like the four different shots that it would
be taking with that old camera so we're gonna try that now
can't feel my fingers that's so friggin cold out here like minus 12 degrees
Celsius and I didn't bring gloves like a genius so I think I got my shot of Wayne
so next I'm gonna try and get there's this cool background here I've used it
before for another photo shoot that I'm gonna try and bust out the lensball
see if I can get something
my plan was definitely to be out here a little bit longer get a couple more
shots but that's gonna have to do because I actually can't feel my hands
right now so okay so the bad news is that I might lose a finger or two from
freezing but the good news is that I'm now inside Rogers place the arena here
and things are warming up a little bit and I found a cool spot to try and take
another set of photos so I'm gonna try and get one more lens ball 3d thing here
and then I'm gonna head back
all right I think I got some cool shots some of Wayne here a couple of the cool
overpass thing and then some from inside so let's head back home and I'll tell
you guys how I edit these guys up
and we're back cleaned myself up a little bit
ready to go I have the files all imported into the computer so now it's
just a matter of actually taking them and making that animation out of them so
step number one is going to be to edit them however you want so if you're happy
with the files the way that they came out of the camera great if not then pull
them into Lightroom or whatever editing software you use edit them up just make
sure that you don't crop anything differently from one photo to the next
in the sequence and try and edit them all the same too so the way that I do
that is in Lightroom I'll edit one of the photos in the sequence and then I'll
just sync the settings across the whole sequence so they all have the same thing
I export all of them in the sequence even though there's like 20 of them we're
only and gonna end up using probably four or five of them I'll export all of
them put them in a folder and then we're gonna pull them into Adobe Premiere to
do the actual animation of it so assuming that you've got the editing
side of it done let's go into Adobe Premiere and I'll show you how this is
done waiting for premiere to open
okay so I've imported all the photos into
Adobe Premiere and I've put them in their own folder so I can find them easy
now I'm basically just gonna go through and pick my favorite four or five photos
that I think will make the best animation usually what I'm looking for
here is the subject in the center of the view and I'm gonna make that kind of the
middle photo so I'll pick two photos on either side so we'll end up with five -
before - after and then the one in the middle once I pick the photos that I
like the best I'm gonna drag one down to start a new sequence and then actually
delete that and then drag in the five that I want making sure that I start
with the first one so that they're in sequential order once I get them all in
I'm gonna highlight them all and hit command + R and that
will bring up the clip speed slash duration and this is going to allow me
to set each of those clips to a certain length so what you want to do is make
sure you click the little link to unlink the speed and duration and then what
you're gonna do is type in one frame and click the ripple edit shifting trailing
clips now what this is gonna do it's gonna set each clip each photo to one
frame long and then it's going to make sure it snaps them all together so
there's not a bunch of space in between we're gonna zoom in so we can see it and
then to make the loop effect happen what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the
second last one and copy it holding option and dragging it we're gonna copy
it to the end and the third last one copy it to the end and the fourth last
one or the second one to the end so now we should have a full loop we don't copy
the last one or the first one because those are the ones that it's looping on
you don't want there to be two frames in a row of the same thing so we should
have a total of eight frames going on here and so if you want to check the
loop you can actually add loop to your options on your program panel by going
into this little extra menu and then you can turn on the loop if you don't see it
you can hit the plus sign and add the loop to your program panel and then we
can check it now what I found was that if I did it so that each photo was only
one frame found it to be a little bit too quick and once I went back and
watched the Mura Masa effect in their video too I noticed that it was a little
bit slower so I actually went back highlight them all again command R so I
get up that speed thing I keep all the same settings and I change it to two
frames each and I found that to be a little bit better yeah that looks way
better and now what we're gonna do is we're gonna crop this in so that it's
the right size for Instagram we want that five by four so we're gonna change
it from 1280 by 1920 into 1280 by 1600 and this has to do with to how I
exported the photos you may have to mess with where the pictures are where the
each photo is in the frame because you've just cropped out the top and
bottom so in this one I'm gonna have to move it up so I'm gonna highlight that
one that I've already moved I'm gonna hit copy I'm gonna highlight all the
other ones and then I'm gonna do something called paste attributes and
that's gonna basically put them all to the same crop so now we have our
complete instagram size Mura Masa effect animated
boomerang type of thing and then of course I'm going to apply this to the other two
shots that we got so I got another one a little bit of a darker lens ball kind of
thing I'm gonna pick the five I'm gonna put them all in two frames each and it's
gonna look like this pretty cool and then lastly we're gonna go to Wayne
Gretzky we're gonna apply the same thing pretty cool now the last thing that I
did is I actually copied it out so that it would be 15 seconds 15 seconds of
this back and forth is probably enough on a loop so I figured that was probably
a good length for these guys so I made them 15 seconds and I exported them a
couple of little tips when you're shooting these you want to try and make
sure that whatever it is you're shooting is very still like I said before if you
don't have the actual camera that has four exposures coming at the same time
you can't totally freeze motion so what you want to do is try and find something
that's already fairly still to start with for example a statue of Wayne
Gretzky is a perfect example I had a little bit of trouble dealing with the
lens ball ones because as I was moving the camera I found myself also moving my
hand with the lens ball in it a little bit so I needed to keep it a little bit
more still and make sure that I was just moving the camera because ideally if you
want to make it look like it's actually four separate exposures or five separate
exposures rather than someone moving their camera in my case each exposure is
actually happening after the last one so it's a little bit of a trade-off but it
still gives you a very similar effect and I found it really effective another
little thing that I found is depending on what you set your timeline to in
Premiere so whether you're at let's say 30 frames per second or 24 frames per
second it's gonna change it a little bit so it's gonna go a little bit faster if
you're playing it back at 30 frames per second I preferred the 24 frames per
second so that's what I ended up exporting all of these in but you can
choose based on what you like and before I wrap it up here I want to say a huge
thank you this was all kind of for my Instagram and while I was out shooting
these photos I actually crossed 5,000 followers on Instagram so thank you so
much for following me if you haven't already you'll see these cool effects up
on there this week so make sure to go follow me at dunna did it @dunnadidit
thank you so much for watching make sure to give this video a thumbs up it really does help
subscribe to the channel if you're not already and I'll see you guys next time
