Recreating Ariana Grande's "Breathin" Slow Motion Hyperlapse with Premiere Pro
In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a slow-motion hyperlapse inspired by Ariana Grande's "Breathin" music video using Adobe Premiere Pro. Follow these steps to achieve this stunning visual effect.
**Step 1: Set Up Your Footage**
To start, you will need a camera, a tripod, and a portable green screen. Ensure your camera settings are correct and stable for both the timelapse and the green screen footage.

**Step 2: Shoot the Timelapse**
Capture a timelapse of your background. Set your shutter speed to very low to achieve a smooth and realistic result. It's crucial to take this timelapse in a location with a lot of movement to emphasize the hyperlapse effect.

**Step 3: Shoot the Green Screen Footage**
Place the green screen in the exact same location where you took the timelapse. Shoot your subject (yourself or another person) walking at regular speed in front of the green screen. Try to shoot at the same time of day to match the lighting conditions of the timelapse.

**Step 4: Ensure Proper Spacing**
Make sure there is enough space between the subject and the green screen to avoid casting shadows. Proper lighting is essential for a clean keying process.
