Dallas Video Crew Hangs with the “Dudes”<\/h5>\n

DUDE! PERFECT! If you\u2019ve never heard of these guys, then you are probably assuming that I\u2019m trying to talk like a gnarly surfer dude. As much as I’d like to talk like a gnarly surfer dude, I\u2019m talking about the guys from Dude Perfect<\/a>, the internet trick shot superstars.<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n
B-Roll and a Basketball<\/h5>\n

First things first, I had my grip and utility set up my 9 x 15 green screen in the hockey rink to be used later in the day. I decided to light the talent with my 400w HMI, filled in as necessary with Kino Flows and light my main green screen with my Kino Flow Divas. I also sent my B-Camera operator around to shoot scenics and B-roll of the entire Dude Perfect HQ to be cut into the promos as needed. While my crew was doing all this, I was walking through the shoot and scripts with the producers, blocking out actions that the Dudes were going to take \u00a0to make the shoot flow smoother once talent was on site.<\/p>\n

Tough Gear for a Tough Shoot<\/h5>\n
\"Basketball<\/p>\n
Tossing Around the GoPro<\/h5>\n

One of the promos we shot involved and the Dudes catching a basketball, delivering a line to the\u00a0camera (in our case, the camera ball) and passing or kicking it on to the next Dude. We did this series of ball passes and transitions from Dude-to-Dude (sounds like a great title if they decide to ditch ‘Dude Perfect’) with our camera ball, which inevitably ended up getting tossed into a basketball net and kicked into a soccer goal. For the final shot I pulled out my DJI Osmo to get an awesome trailing\/tracking shot of one of the Dudes on a go-cart catching the final pass\u00a0and leading to a group huddle cheering finale.<\/p>\n

Back to the green screen! This was by far the most unique part of the shoot. It involved a single Dude at a time performing different actions that could be edited together with the Nickelodeon logo. An example being, lifting the heavy logo above their heads, or hitting it like a baseball. Once each of the Dudes did their take on the actions, we brought in the Dude Panda! (I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s what it’s called, but that\u2019s what I came to call it.) This involved the Dude Perfect panda suit, performing the same actions in both real-time and in slo-mo.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"PandaThe final shot culminated with me shooting a dancing panda on a green screen at 120 frames-per-second slo-mo, while our production team chanted \u201cGo Panda! Go Panda! Go!\u201d Needless to say, it was a good way to wrap it out. The Dudes were awesome to work with, and I look forward to my next shoot with Nickelodeon and MTV<\/a>!<\/p>\n
