How to make creative transitions?

….or pushes.

Those are zip pans (done in camera), probably with some soft wipes.

You pan the camera really fast to the left and right. A WHIP pan. It’s fairly straight forward.

There is more to it.
In this movie (a MUST SEE BTW!) timing is crucial.
Without lots of takes / good direction it is hard to get the desired timing.
Jobs remark about a push / DVE makes this easier.
If you shoot (even a still image) left and right of the original framing, or a couple of stills, you can stitch a panorama, and do your DVE / push on the composit. (Don’t forget to add lots of motion blur, ae is good for this)

Did i mention this movie is a must see?

Thanks. i didn’t think something that looked this slick was as easy as a fast pan with the camera. totally agree with the must see too 🙂

Think ill spend the day testing it out

Many Thanks

One thing to consider – if you are shooting with a 5D and whip pan that quickly – prepare for lots of shutter roll. Your left right pans will become “diagonal” looking which may look a little odd.

Some of the transitions are pushes with the image blurred as the push happens. Others are camera pans and tilts with a well timed cut between.
sometimes using a little motion blur as the move happens.
Most of the transitions seem to be over 6 frames – 3 each side of cut
It looks like on a couple of the transitions to the car they are including a few frames of a whip pan from another image betweeen the 2 shots.
Experiment with those kind of combinations and effects.
Its more in the timing and planning than anything really tricky effects-wise. Matching the speed of the incoming and outgoing movement is going to help it look smooth too.

best wishes

If you have access to AE, Carl Larsen has a tutorial that simulates whip pans. Depending on your Avid package(plugins) you might be able to do it Avid too.

also if you have sapphire there is a swish-pan transition.
Also in Boris, but I find that needs more of a “tweak” to look as good.
