 Good morning ladies and gentlemen all craziness okay here's what's going on basically this is a behind-the-scenes vlog meaning I have no internet currently in real time So I shot all this footage Some behind-the-scenes for all of you just to show you what it takes to film the daily running vlog Remember I was in Leadville about six days ago filming the Leadville Marathon with Olympian Kara Goucher amazing So anyway, this is a behind-the-scenes throwback. I had to do this because I literally have no internet where I'm at in Real-time. I hope you enjoy behind-the-scenes vlog. Let's roll. All right first coffee It's 437 a.m. That's why a lot of coffee Here's all my stuff that I'm packing up in the car the running shoes the lights the Camera bag it's just like it never ends. It never ends. All right. Here we go All about lighting as a cinematographer Lighting is your best friend a lot of times you guys don't even see it But yes, I do incorporate lighting into the daily running vlog just to make a little extra beauty for you It's amazing what a good light can do and I did forget that I need some gas Here we go Gotta get the fuel All right, just pulled over got the shot the drone shot that I wanted I've been wanted to stop at that location for years So I finally did it and I I only put the drone up for maybe Two minutes and then had to because I got a zip to the starting line and that's part of this daily vlogging Journey Timing you really like I can't miss the start of the race That would defeat a little bit of the purpose of coming up here and filming the race like you got to get the start so Anyway, it's like timing timing timing is critical and thankfully I kind of enjoy timing so all right almost to Leadville Oh, man. There is so much snow up here. I don't even know what to do with it all It's like there is a lot of snow left to melt I don't even know if it's gonna melt this year like it is there's got definitely gonna be some remnant remnants For the upcoming ski season All right little inside secret here tip of the day Part of okay There's a couple reasons I wear a green hat one of them when I'm out at races Filming is so people can recognize me and come up and say hello because I want to meet you guys So that's part of the reason why I always you know I love my my new white Solomon hat But anyway, that's just like a little trick if you're thinking of starting a vlog or yeah a gate starting a vlog It's good to have something that makes you stand out And so what I have chosen is a green hat now and forever Or at least until it wears out. I made position both cameras are filming. I feel real good about the situation real good I'm still a little unclear about the course since they changed it due to the snow But we will figure this out. So the runners are gonna be coming by here Probably in about two to three minutes Rock and roll time The race is about halfway over and I'm just learning the course as we go here folks learning alongside you It's just like the course change is throwing me off throwing a lot of people off But we're getting it done trying to get shots for you guys And that was a second and third place in the men's and I'll just wait for the women's here Top three to come through looking strong all three of them and shout out to Kara go buffs Oh, man. It's fun to see it's fun to see a fellow buff out here crushing the trails and An Olympian to boot. All right, here comes fourth place guy looking strong Getting the shot everybody. Sometimes you just got to get dirty on the ground Rock and roll just getting a nice ground perspective. This is one of my favorite angles to film Boom I got the big mountain in the background The runners coming up epic Boom Just this is a tough part of the course All right, I feel good about that. I feel good about that. All right And just so you know, I'm not afraid to get my equipment dirty It's not ideal, but just not afraid It gets the shot. I think it's worth it The quick tip of the day behind the scenes Filming racing vlogs a lot of times you'll have a couple races happening at the same time. I would recommend Just focusing on one. I made that mistake When did I make them recently? I can't even remember which race But so there's a marathon going on today and a half marathon and it's just a lot better To focus on today I'm doing the marathon because then you start mixing up footage Mixing up races. You don't know which racers are in which course. So anyway, that's what we're doing today Focusing on that marathon For example, here comes the half. Good job, buddy All right. All right, there you have it ladies and gentlemen Oh, man, it's hot. It's hard to film an entire race and create a vlog out of it and try and get all the finishers I did miss the first place men's finisher. I apologize. I believe his name was Josh. Sorry Josh He just was too fast. I couldn't get my camera out faster and fast enough after hopping off my bike shout out to Men's and women's winners. I'll try and get the names into the into the vlog as well and shout out to Cara Great job Cara. I think she ended up fourth first trail race. That's amazing at 10,000 11,000 I think they topped out at like just under 12,000 feet So congrats Cara good to see you there at the finish line with Adam and all right I'm heading back to the studio and we'll break down this a little bit more But that was a fun day here in Leadville, Colorado Great living at ten thousand one hundred fifty two feet above sea level. Oh good times man I wish I could and oh, yeah real quick shout out to everyone that yelled during the race SJD that was amazing. That's probably I don't know 15 20 people So that's good that tells me that we're on to something here making racing vlogs for everybody And who knows maybe someday I'll get you in the vlog Here we go and the batteries died. Oh, it's all part of the experience ladies and gentlemen All right, how to film a daily running or race vlog This is a bit this was a behind-the-scenes of the Leadville marathon filmed last week and yes batteries will die You got to be ready. I'm getting used to a new audio setup right now I just started using it like five days ago, so I wasn't aware as to how in fact I got a checker right now. Okay, we're good. I wasn't aware as far as how long the battery pack would last so lesson learned about Seven eight hours approximately so now I'll know to pack a second one And so what I was about to say on the streets of Leadville before the audio cut is and yes It's another tip and we're gonna go with tips for keyword because I gave out a lot of tips today Here you go. You want to keep if you're filming a running race or you're filming anything actually If you're filming your daily runs You don't want to get the same shots every day your audience will get very bored That's why I like to run in the city run in the mountains run in a park I try to be as diverse as possible in the different types of settings and In the actual race environment. It's really easy to get sucked into the finish line area and just stay there I would recommend getting out onto the course Getting the setting shots of Leadville like you're looking at right now It's like it's an old historic mining town and so that really helps tell the overall story It's a little more work. You gotta get you gotta get those muscles out carry those cameras around But it's it pays off so so much for your audience And yes, I hope today's behind-the-scenes of the Leadville marathon I justifies replacing a daily vlog considering I have no internet right now when you're watching this So thank you for bearing with me on that and yeah, let me know. Oh, yeah question of the day Let me know your questions about how I film the daily running vlog and guess what? I'll do my best to answer all the questions, but it might take two three four days Especially once I get back to internet if you know what I mean. All right. Thanks for watching. That was fun Man, and I didn't even I scratched the surface the surface as far as what it actually takes But I hope that gave you a little insight as to what I what I do on my daily routine Here on the YouTube. See beauty work
