How I Get This Shot - New Custom YouTube Studio Garage Build. 

Yep, the b cam just goes back and fourth forever.. I don’t cut to it ALL that much, I more often punch in to the main shot for cuts, but I think that motion just makes such a nice shot to occasionally cut to. Road noise is surprisingly not a problem. I’m sure if you cranked up the volume and put on studio headphones when watching my videos you could MAYBE make out a car going by once in a while? But I live in a suburb and there just isn’t a lot of noise out there. If like a garbage truck stops at the end of the driveway I’ll obviously have to take a pause. House noise is practically silent!! I am so happy with this new house, all made out of foam filled block, and the door between the garage and the house is steel and heavy. That was a surprise. For sure.

@@NicholasJamesJohnson Cool, thank you!!

Interestingly, when you have the Sony a7siii in HAVC-HS which makes the file sizes smaller with the h.265 compression, the only options you have are 10bit. I have it at the lowest bitrate, so 4:2:0 10 bit at 30mbps - vs shooting at 100mbps. I actually didn't know all that until you commented this and I checked the camera to SEE why it was in 10 bit!

​@@NicholasJamesJohnson That sounds interesting! Perhaps it could be a great idea for a future video. I'd love to see how you've automated your background lighting, and having links to the products you use would be really helpful.

@@ChaseJamison I was making a video in the warehouse that was like an hour of filming, and I was demonstrating stuff, building these immersion tanks for my other channel, but I didn’t realize that my main camera had overheated after like 15 minutes and shut off!! It was so much work to reshoot that I’ll always use a monitor now. It IS funny how hard it is not to look at yourself, though I agree. I script almost every word I say on this kind of video! I guess the only tip I have is to go on a long walk and listen to music that doesn’t have words, then open up a pages document and type out pretty much one side of a conversation where you’re explaining whatever thing to someone who you know pretty well.. Any time I try to just wing it, even with subjects I know pretty well, I always end up making the edit take SO LONG because my thoughts won’t collect and I say too much extra garbage. But if I write it first, for me at least, it seems like I can crank out a ten minute video script in like an hour, and then filming only takes maybe 25 minutes! I should do an ‘entire process’ video. I’m sure everyone’s process is super different.

@@NicholasJamesJohnson yea, I'll need to figure something out, my last video took about 2 hours of filming, but editing it down took countless hours of work to get it to 25ish minutes. My current format (unboxing instrument reviews) doesn't lend itself well to pre-thought out scripts, but I need that skill for the video I'm working on now. Funny story, I recorded something two days ago and my camera overheated for the first time ever BECAUSE I was using it on the monitor as well as having it plugged in. Thankfully I heard it turn off as I was shooting really close to my camera on a 16mm lens.
