Osmo Pocket 3 Course: Film 202 Blog

I recently launched a second Osmo Pocket 3 Course and wanted to discuss what I cover in it. With my guidance, you'll master the ins and outs of your OP3 and learn valuable tips and tricks that will help you maximize your investment. From the basics to advanced techniques, my comprehensive curriculum at Film Alliance University is designed to help you create content that meet the high standards set by today's top creators. Over the years, I've developed an extensive toolbox from real-world scenarios and client-based situations, which helped me stay ahead of the curve. Now, I'm sharing them with you.

Here's what you get with the entire OP3: Film 202 Course:

•  The course consists of ten modules that showcase the curriculum with real-world video examples. These modules are designed to quickly get you up and running at a next level.

Module 1: "Intro to Film 202 Course" 

Here I show you the important initial steps needed to get started with the Osmo Pocket 3 before you move on to future modules. 

Module 2: "Focus Modes"

Here, you'll learn about the three different focus modes, as well as when and how to use them. Focus is crucial in the OP3 because it determines the clarity and sharpness of the image or video being captured, making it an essential factor in creating professional-grade content. If you're not in control of your focus, the final output may appear blurry or out of focus, leading to a noticeably unsatisfactory result.

Module 3: "Gimbal Modes"

This module covers the different gimbal modes available with the Osmo Pocket 3 and why they are essential for gimbal control. I'll take you through the various ways I use them and the methods I have adopted to enhance the style of video I am going for.

Module 4: "Intelligent Auto Modes"

In this module, you'll learn how to use the different intelligent modes to enhance your videos. I would only use these modes in unique and specific situations. I will show you when I use them and how to get the most out of each one.

Module 5: "Mimo App"

The Mimo App is valuable for exposing and having a bigger display. I'll run through the menu display, and where you can find all the most useful functions within the App. 

Module 6: "Slow Motion"

Have you ever wondered how to properly expose your slow-motion shots or why it's important? When done right, slow motion is an excellent tool for video creation. I'll show you exactly how I expose my Osmo Pocket 3 and what frame rates to use to get your footage to look buttery smooth. 

Module 7: "Photography"

In this module, you'll discover the power of the Osmo Pocket 3 in photography and learn how to set it up to get great-looking stills and panoramic shots. Don't let the 9 Megapixel sensor fool you. I will teach you how to dial in your exposure correctly so that you can capture some great stills.

Module 8: "Timelapse, Hyperlapse and Motionlapse"

Timelapse is one of the most creative ways to make your videos more professional and dynamic. I will show you the multiple functions available with the Osmo Pocket 3, and the best times to use them. 

Module 9: "HLG and Color Profiles"

How often have you wondered which color profile to use when filming? This is a very common question and can often times feel overwhelming to choose. We will dive in and see what's right for you, and what factors I consider when choosing my own color profiles. This module is heavily focused on HLG.

Module 10: "ND Filters"

ND filters are great but come with some caveats that you must know about before you start to use them. ND filters are useful for the OP3 because they allow you to control the amount of light entering the lens, helping you achieve proper exposure as well as creative effects such as motion blur. They are particularly helpful in bright outdoor conditions or when using slow shutter speeds. You'll learn how to use them in real world sitautions and when you should pull them out of your camera bag.

Module 10: "Conclusion"

Get ready to capture your best shots yet with the Osmo Pocket 3. So, don't wait any longer - it's time to get out there and start creating some bomb content that will leave your competitors in the dust.
