 Welcome back to a I don't know out of it's a product review or an FNA I'm gonna go with an FNA because it's a reference shooting tip But I'm also gonna review an app that helps you with that when I put on two playlists But that's that and the app that I want to talk about is called double take It's part of the filmic pro app series and I'll give you a quick overview of how it works And how it's actually really cool for shooting reference And instead of me talking I'm gonna record my screen so you can see what this app is doing This is double take that is the camera layout here It depends of course on the phone that you have with the lenses that I have here So you need to check what kind of phone you have and if it works with the app and to what extent But this is the layout so you can choose between ultra wide, wide, tele and selfie So let's pretend I want to do ultra wide and selfie for whatever reason Then you can say yes confirm so that's the layout that you get This is flipping me like this and you can see where my hand is It films the screen here so you can look around Do all kind of stuff on top of talking however your layout is You can switch this to recording it like that picture in picture So whatever you record is going to be burnt into the screen like this You can move this around and you can make this full screen as well if you want to Or you can do a split screen and it's going to record it like this And then there is a discrete mode as well and this is usually how I record But when I go back here I choose the fps setting So you have 25 frames per second 30 and 24 Now I am animating at 24 frames per second in Maya So preferably I shoot at 24 frames per second So if I bring this in Maya and if whatever style you're going to animate to You can copy the reference if you need to if it's a photo real animation But you can also record at 30 frames per second It gives you more frames you can do some time warping It gives you more material Because ultimately you're not going to stick to the reference Unless it's really demanded by whatever the client or the type of show Or the style whatever it is where you need to really copy the reference But ideally it's there as a springboard for mechanics You kind of study how it goes and then you push it there So I set it to 24 and then you can choose your A and B And this whole setup has come in really handy for just that sequence That I've just been animating link in the description of the thing Where I shot reference why I wanted to jump around do something physical But at the same time see my face as I'm looking around for eye darts In kind of details if I needed that So for that I chose ultra wide and you can choose that as your A or B But I chose ultra wide and the telephoto lens But you can again you can choose this where you go A and B here It doesn't really matter it depends on what you set up you want to have Then hit confirm and then this is what you see Can you turn around? The mic will not pick things up here But you can see this here I'm going to turn around so I can speak into the mic You can see the full view of the room a bit of a close-up view And then in the lower part you can also make that bigger This is the expanded wide view So how does this translate into shooting reference? Well let me set it up So I grabbed my tripod-y thingy with the clamp here For my phone I hit record on the app and now Then you do your thing Or acting and close-up and far away And you can have the mechanics of doing whatever and get close And then go back whatever your shot is But as you can see it's kind of hard to film Because you don't know what you're filming Because your phone is like this So sometimes I put a mirror behind it So I can see what the viewfinder is doing I wish there was an Apple Watch app for that Because if you go into Filmic Pro And you have the app open on your watch You can see that on the watch You have the viewfinder you can say record and so on and so on And it's especially really good on the regular phone app You can see the screen is much bigger So that's the only drawback You can't really see what you're doing But let's get back into the app I'll show you what I recorded So once you're done with the app You can tap on the upper left part here And you can see this is the recording So because let's go back here Because I switched to the discrete mode And not picture in picture Let's pretend I'm going to record this picture in picture This is that, hello These are my fingers We're done with this now You can see the difference And I can actually shoot a split screen as well So let's record split screen Whatever you want to record Get back to your recordings And here you can see the differences So this is what you record when it's split screen So your two screens are burnt into it You can't switch around So that is that option And if you go into picture in picture It's the same thing The picture in picture is burnt into the other footage Now if you don't like that You want to keep it separate Then here we go This is what the wide one record I'm going to fast forward You can see full body You can see all the silliness that I was doing here And then you go to the close up And this is your tail lens And then here you can see what is going on You can see closer upper ish What I was doing here Now as you can see If I just stand here It's going to record my chest And if I go back up here It's a bit too high As in the way it's frame is a bit too high The way those lenses are just positioned Obviously you can't shift them around If I set up my phone like this It's going to have a bit of a problem in terms of It's not going to record just perfectly the face And then the body So if you want the face framed You're going to bring up the phone a bit But because of that on a telephoto lens It's going to give you a lot of headroom So you have to play around a little bit With the position You might have to shoot a couple things differently But as a whole it's really really handy And again you don't have to go telephoto and super wide You can do all kinds of things Again you can do a selfie version In case you need to And whatever you set up is There are many many options that you can have But having shot a couple takes References for this and other clips I'm animating at home I have found it really really helpful Even if you are just doing kind of mid-shot Because that's your framing Like that's my framing the camera right here And that's what I want to act out And you don't really have to animate the legs But you're still wondering what is the placement How is the way it shifts Because you don't want to cheat completely It gives you kind of like those hidden gestures That are off-screen If I'm framing like this And I do stuff like that You still might want to see What the elbow is doing How am I shifting If I'm on a chair How am I leaning on the chair All that stuff will be captured If you shoot it with multiple lenses And with that different setup That you can see in the app And then once you're done You can tap on the lower left You can either select one Or both where you want to do Or you can say Save to the default role here Yes It saves to the photo app Or you can say export You got all the options here In classic fashion And if you don't like any of this You can just hit the delete option And that's it It's been deleted If you go back to the camera options here You can also see that You can tap on the filmic pro icon And then there you go You're back inside this app You got all the options here You can go back to device Or you can say resolution That's whatever the filmic pro has But if you're done with this You can go back to camera And you choose all this And it gives you double take Then double take Takes you to the app And you're back in there And that's kind of that That's the short overview So double take That is the name of the app And put of course the link in the description With all information Go check it out I'm curious what you think And if there's another app That uses that kind of setup I'm just used to this And it shoots at 24 frames per second I'm just used to that setup But if there's something else That's more awesome Let me know I'm very curious I'm always open to trying new things And that is that for my overview Again, this is kind of an FNA slash app Review something something So hopefully that's helpful to you And as always If you're watching this till the very end Thank you so much I thank you for your patience If you like this You can like and subscribe Totally up to you It helps my channel grow though And that is that That's the pitch at the end And I'll see you in my next clip
