LOL... the old reverse psychology trick. My channel currently has zero content and one subscriber. I've got the whole "stuck figuring out my studio setup" problem. I've been writing scripts and adding posts to my blog, but every time I set the camera up, I just shake my head at the result and end up deleting it in disgust. Oh well... back to trying more things to get a look I'm happy with :).
I used to be teaching photography lighting 20 years ago and used these tricks. Now, we have LED bulbs and more! All of these just came back to my memory! Thank you very much for my total recall! I'll be back!
I love your teaching style. It’s so... “not RU-vidry”. I’m not even learning anything new lol. Except for that mirror trick, noice. Keep up the good work 👍
You executed the content of this video like a boss. The knowledge is great, but the execution of the delivery of the knowledge is A+. You carefully emphasize key terms while displaying abundantly clear visual examples for an audiovisual slap in the face of easy-to-understand knowledge. I'm not even a video person, this just happened to be recommended during my lunch and I clicked on it, watched the whole thing, liked and subscribed.
I’m on my way to film my first interview as well as being the interviewer without any assistant. Watching your video just bumped my confidence up and gave me the positive energy I needed! Thank you so much and of course I’m not subscribing and disliking this video 😂😂😂 bless 🙏🏾✌🏾
Watched this one upside down. We followed your last instructions to a "tee." clicked the thumbs down and then clicked that funny foreign word in the big box next to the upside down bell thingy. Since we kinda recognized the bell icon, we decided to click on that to notify you that we followed your instructions. Thank you for the clarity. The totally rigged setup was the best--for obvious reasons. The second best was actually the last option you showed us with the budget setup. Just knock the side light down another 1.5 to 2 stops and it'll make the subject pop off the screen. We tell people all the time that budget lighting is not just about budgeting $ is about budgeting what is important in the scene.... Since it's just a boring wall, better lighting on the subject is the wiser use of the cheap lights--unless the back wall/location is important to the interview. But there again, our musical interludes on set are usually "if I only had a brain."
Tape on a mirror used as a textured background light...that's a new one. I've heard of shining through cookies but never reflecting it on a mirror with tape! I've gotta try that!
Ya know I've been watching all these filmmaker youtubers for a while and thinking how awesome stage lighting can be put to use for filmmakers. Watching you gaff tape a mirror just drove that theory home. Some stage lights on a dimmer with gobos would make that boring room incredible. That being said being creative like this: two thumbs up ebert & roeper
The issue is I don't have $1k for a light and than some more cash for a diffuser. Even if I did. The interviews I do are very run and gun so I would never have time to set this up.
Man I just happen to stumble upon one of your videos and am now watching my third one. This fr is one of the most actually useful RU-vid channels I’ve seen so far really informative real life info being said.
I got to a Art and Design university and though I am majoring in Graphic Design I have taken a couple classes in production and I feel like the way the video explains things would be very similar to what you’d learn in class.
I could watch an extended interview with the subject matter in any lighting situation. I’m glad you showed cheaper lighting setup. It’s great to try to think outside the box. Location shoots go wrong and at that point, it’s all you have.
Ohhh you blew my mind with that mirror reflection creativity on wall!!! i am thank full to you for this tutorial. Love from India. D setup i really liked.
I'm a photographer getting into YT and video... this was a very valuable video, you're direct, easy to understand, and you give us options. Thanks for the great vid!
Please keep doing these!!!!!!! This is a real class. So many others want to charge outrageous prices that every one cant always afford. Thank you so much for your probono work. God bless u
Man, you are doing an amazing job! Thanks a lot, it’s so pleasant to watch you. And you speak very distinctly which is very useful for non English speakers.
I was thinking about starting a youtube channel with filmmaking tutorials, but for some reason i didn't start... Your videos are really inspiring and i decided to just start! i'm gonna upload my introduction video tomorrow!
Dude, I can't explain how much you read my mind with this video! I wanted to know the difference with backlight and side light hahaha and you did exactly that when I asked myself for it! Great job!
I use the construction, cheapo lights (flood lights). They cost about $6.00, the bulb is extra, of course. I produce films for the town and non-profits so there's no way I'm going to buy expensive lighting. Thank you for the placement tips. The lighting has always been an issue for me and the interviews look okay, but something is just not right. Now I know it's the lighting. : )) I liked the set up with the tape on the reflecting mirror (D). That is SO creative. I'm also going to start using back lighting. It's a miracle.
You could use the sun as a source of light, and if you get close enough to it, it will burn this mediocre channel away from existen- I CAN'T BE NEGATIVE I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
I love ur irony! Makes me do things! I always struggle with lighting in my vlogs. You make it feel sooo ez! Thumbs up! You my friend are a TRUE INSPIRATION! Thank you for being on youtube!
