“Tag sale” is very New England. When I moved from CT to the West Coast, no one knew what I meant when I said I wanted to spend the day going to tag sales! Thank you for sharing the information about this technology.
Hey, I'm loving your tips, but I don't understand how my place of birth or hour of birth makes a difference in how I make videos. Is it some kind of astrology marketing suff?
No. It's just a fascinating insight into how you tick. And how you tick leads to how you make videos, or it can, though most just imitate others. There's no cost to it. This one gives you dozens of insights into how you as a unique individual could be making videos. But if it puts you off, then that's just part of your uniqueness, too!
Personally, I find youtube videos with music, while someone is talking/explaining etc very very annoying. I just listened to a 'how to start making RU-vid videos' video...and the person was insisting how important music was (whilst being a sponsor for that company). I got 2 minutes in and stopped.....due to the music. So....that's my answer.
Be careful with those cheaper devices, I have purchased several, most work... at first. Some don't have the resolution they promise, others overheated, and at least 2 just died after about 6 months. Not to say that the CamLink can't have issues, but I own two of the ones shown, and one of the larger units, and none of them have failed.
My God you even sound terrible and unnatural yourself. It's the dreaded Boomer Voice. Ugh. The problem is you older folks sound like a radio announcer or a news broadcaster. Here is a tip...watch how much more real and natural a legit youtuber sounds compared to this. Nobody talks like this in real life. Its horribly transparent and painful for younger viewers to watch. I've dubbed it "the boomer voice" awful. For you actual boomers...think about how in your mind...terrible that awful 1920s radio voice was. That is how unnatural and awful you sound to non boomers.
This was one of the best, succinct, helpful instructional videos I've watched about this topic. Great job, I want to be you when I grow up (unless you have a criminal record or something bad).
I loved it when the background switched to the beach scene. That's when it hit me that you stood only about a foot in front of your new green screen, and it looked amazing!
Excellent. Filled with facts I can use. I've gone through several iterations of green screen studios and am now using the Sub2r. These tips are very useful to me. Thanks.
That's OK. And thanks for the kind words. I would normally agree about the shadows, but once you add the key, they disappear. At least I don't see them anymore.
The human brain's frontal lobes' connections with the rest of the brain aren't fully formed and mature until our mid-twenties Steve. This means that our personalities aren't really 'set' until then. Even so, our capacity to learn and change enables us to gain more insight about ourselves throughout our lives. Remarkable! Thanks for your valuable insights.
I don’t think so. Spill is a function of proximity and intensity. You can only be in one spot at a time. You just want the light as even as possible, then balance exposure of subject and background.
It could be a number of things. Usually it's because of reflection off the green screen caused by being a little too close. It could be compounded by other factors including the camera, focus, codec, color space, lighting intensity, modeling, the background contrast, and keyer settings. But if everything was done fairly precisely and you have a good keyer, you might try either degrading edges, adding fill or adding to the edges with about 6 points of interior portions of the image. Also make the background the same luminance as the subject. That can hide a multitude of sins. Good luck!
my big problem is camera shyness when the cam isn't on I can read a script flawlessly, but when it comes on I can't even talk right. Your so relaxed on cam, nice incidental comedy inserts, and your so good at expressing yourself. So I'll look for these videos maybe they'll help me thank you for all these great videos you make to help people.
I did this 15 years ago (from my own trial & error experiments) and discovered what these pros are now sharing in 2024. The room was only 6x4 and I used a dark blue bed-sheet. In post production inserted an animated back ground from Digital Juice. 😄
Believe it or not you're the second person who has told me something similar. Everything old is new again! I wonder whatever happened to Digital Juice.
I have a really tiny studio space, so this looks like a lifesaver! Curious though, what did you use to raise it the needed 20 inches for landscape video?
Hi, Steve! Have you sold your Box Lights and Angler Lights yet? I’m excited to get rid of so many lights on my green screen. I’ve just ordered the AGS!
I think you'll enjoy the heck out of using it. It's amazing how much room you can reclaim and how much less cluttered the room is while still letting you produce the magic! If you check the B&H site, they don't sell the Angler anymore because of the fumes it gives off. Yeesh. The box lights I may save for bigger location shoots.
I just tried it out and it revolutionized my streaming and online performing opportunities. Definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to reach an outstanding quality in a small space with little effort.
I bought my SUBR2 Green screen shortly after they came out, after I had a long talk with Richard at SUB2R and so glad I did! I have a tiny room for video streaming. Before this came along, I had to shoot green screen in our 2 car garage and then, either leave the cars out to the elements or strike it every day... this was a game changer for me. the rounded corners do limit the effective green screen background, so I usually have to do some masking. I'm hoping they can come out with a true 16:9 internally lit screen that's a little bigger. BTW, Steven doesn't mention that the entire screen folds up and sets up in minutes - and comes with a great carry case.
“Getting away” with “only 2 soft boxes…” isn’t the point. None of us who really enjoys and wants to improve what our viewers see doesn’t aim to only “get away with only 2 soft boxes.” We’d like to reclaim as much square footage as possible and ALSO create a great product.
@@jaybcreightonActually, it is. There is no reason to overinvest. I can prove you very good keying for RU-vid with just two softboxes and DaVinci Resolve Studio. Why on Earth shall I invest in new equipment when the existing does the job very well? Shall I get myself in a commercial project that requests higher resolutions and quality, I will gladly use the credit card and buy all that will be necessary.
The room I have available is about 8x8, AND that's empty, I have 2 desks, a floor to roof shelf and over the other side a guitar rack. Seriously don't know what I'm supposed to do... I can pretty much rotate my chair in the middle 😐😐
Great review Steve. I've got an Elgato pull up green screen but my little room is too small to use it properly without me tripping over a bird's nest of cables and light stands.
And it's for cases like that exactly that this slightly mind-bending technology was created. In their marketing, they show a young lady sitting in a closet with this screen behind her!
wow! Besides the LOG look "which I like to think is just Your Look and feel" this is great!!!!! Are you able to add additional lighting or increase the ISO on the talent? Be nice to do a 2nd review answering all these questions . All in all you sir got another home run!!!
Thank you! So kind. Yes, you can add more of each. Of course the main idea is to end the "arms race" of more light hitting the screen, necessitating more light hitting you, and round and round you go. I cut the light back deliberately to show how little you could get away with. But a little more on the subject couldn't hurt.
This video seems hazed - is it the grain from not enough light? Lots of good info here, as always...the geek in me can't stop seeing the haze on this video. Maybe it's a disparity of bitrate...? I love your info and presentation style, this is not a complaint...more a curiosity. Thanks!
@@StevenWasher the look fits the theme of what you're doing in this video. Hopefully you grinned a little that your viewership pays such close attention!! Great channel, Steven!
These tricks work for a few months and then Google will break them. I'd prefer to have youtube for businesses where you pay a bit, lets say $10 monthly and have customisation or video selections on the end. Multibillion company and they didn't think about that :)
Steven, I have to say all your tutorials hopefully helping people to achieve that pro green screen production are extremely clear & easy to understand. Including information most newbie have no clue about. Solutions they absolutely need to know about including steps in the video editing software. but wait! The video doesn't stop or slow down & it's kept interesting by well, you know who. Awesome shit dude, Thanks
