Best break down I’ve seen so far from my years of watching RU-vid… You explained everything in detail leaving little to no room for any questions to be asked…
Unreal breakdown! You always have juicy interviews. Love the c70 look. I feel like you overthink the coloring sometimes. I thought it looked amazing after the canon lut. Maybe bring down the highlights but it looked excellent without all those extra luts
3:51 This is a detail that most will miss but it triggers my ocd. The guitar on the left seems to be below to the brick line unlike the guitar on the right. This is an eye sore and I wonder why the owner of the space doesn't correct it.
Thanks for sharing such great educational content! By the way, may I ask you what type of tripods you are using to hold the lights? I suppose those are not C stands! I have one C-stand and its upper horizontal part is just way too short and it is hard to get balanced! So in case I'm not mistaken and those aren't C-stands, could you kindly tell me what are they called? Thanks in advance!!
Man, i wonder about one thing. What's the point of putting diffusion filter to get rid of sharpness and than sharpen the footage in the post? Love your stuff, keep sharing the knowledge! Peace ✌
Hi Damien, congrats for another great video (and gig). Can you say what frame you're using to attach the key light panel? I recently did a DP gig and used a big foldable diffuser on exterior walking scenes, but the foldable structure was pretty hard to keep steady and would like to get an aluminium frame like yours and a silk to follow talent on short outside walking scenes. Thanks in advance and keep up your AWESOME work. Cheers, BP
Hey Damien, hast du deutsche Wurzeln oder woher kommt das immer wiederkehrende freundliche „Guten Tag“? Sehr sympathisch. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland, Mirko
I don't agree with the over sharpened look. The mist look is too cloudy and doesn't represent a unique lens or camera look. The mist filter seems overly cloudy and lacks a distinct character that would represent a unique lens or camera style. Additionally, the overall warmth, especially with the red brick and couch, feels excessive. The grading leans heavily towards the warmer tones, resulting in an overly orange appearance. Shadow side is also a bit heavy.
Would you agree that when the DP works directly with a client that you tend to lean into the look your custom with instead of getting feedback from a director?
im sure you've mentioned this before so a link would be great, but i'm a new follower so im not sure... how did you do the subtle film grain at the end ofthe video? 7:28
How do you deal with change of sunlight coming through the window? I found myself shooting an interview and when the sun gets behind a cloud the exposure as well as color temperature in the room changed drastically.
Thanks great walk through. I just had an interview my self where I ended up placing on the light side, because the shadow side didn’t look as good. If you take a look at your footage again, would you still say the shadow side is the best and not too dark? Would you have done something different like bringing in a bounce or a very dim light?
Personally, I never use the lit side for the b cam. It puts too much attention on the side of the subjects head instead their mouth. Just my opinion. If the background sucks, I'll switch the key side, when possible.
The softness is what I love about it. Some people use filters or plugins to remove that “video” look due to sharpness, but I feel like the C70 right out of the box looks natural and not like overly sharp like video.
