Amazingly good video 👏 I have a video studio with FX6 A7S3 and FX30 cameras and manage to persuade clients to film there with just b roll at their place as an upsell. Saves so much hassle especially room treatments for audio
this is a great video. I shoot corporate work and you even gave me some ideas to use. I'm also glad you promote pro gear. I started using a lot of the cheapest gear but now shoot with better gear. I should have started just buying the good stuff.
FX30 with A6700 for the win! Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to use the dual native ISO. Just expose SLog3 the right and traditional way, and the noise will be lower. You use dual native ISO when you can control the light. FX30 is fine. Get a light.
Hey, this was a great video. I've been doing corporate interviews for a decent amount of time, still don't have some of the stuff you mention, but this is a very thorough and practical video for somebody trying to get up to speed on what you'll need to get what corporate clients want/need, and you really covered all the bases (including how hard it is to find a teleprompter to rent and that you won't actually need some of what you mention until you need it). Only thing I'd echo is a lot of the gear you mention is on the expensive side, and as somebody mentioned below there's cheaper alternatives etc. Especially for somebody just getting into this they are probably not going to have the budget for some of what you mention. But overall really great video.
Hmm... I might ask what lens are you using? And what's your aperture when filming these gliders? And also what's your shutter speed when filming? These three things could be affecting the sharpness.
I bought this kit. I think you can also buy them separate too: Sennheiser AVX ME2/835 SET-4 AVX-Combo SET Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Microphone System
Great video! :-) That is a lot of heavy equipment for the lighting especially to bring to a client. I have not yet decided what carrying stuff to invest in for my gear and it's starting to hold me back on bring all the good stuff the client. What do you use to carry the c-stands, tripods, lighting, etc. when going on corporate shoots? Thanks!
I usually assess each job and determine how much of my kit I will actually need. I try and avoid bringing c-stands and opt for only light stands because they are smaller. You're right though, it is a lot of equipment and in corporate video it's better to be light as to not intimidate the people on camera. I use a collapsible wagon from Amazon (about $200). It can hold all my gear, a couple light stands and a couple c-stands when needed.
The SmallHD Action 5 Monitor is discontinued (noted on their site as well as B&H). The nearest equivalent SmallHD has is nearly 4 times the price. There's lots of cheap (and not so great) equivalents. I wonder if there's a viable alternative in the $400 range.
That's too bad. In that case, I would go with the Atomos Shinobi 5. I have been using it for a year and it has been reliable. Although I prefer SmallHD, the Atomos gets the job done.
I find it odd that you make this video telling someone that this is the best set up for $15,000, and in the same video you’re explaining what an ND filter is and how it works. I feel like for someone watching this video, if they don’t know what an ND filter is, they probably shouldn’t be watching this video and investing $15,000. And for those of us that know what an ND filter is and know at least the basics of operating a Camera in a corporate environment, it’s a waste of time for us. I feel like you have two separate videos you need to make here, one for the novice videographer with a cheap set up to learn the basics, and this video for those of us who know what we’re doing, but are watching for your opinion on what you think the best gear is.
Yeah, you're probably right. I could make it into two videos. At the same time, I often get hired by this video company that owns 3 FX3s and does way more work than I do and I just convinced him to buy his first ND filter. So I'm not sure... but thank you for the feedback. I will keep that in mind for future videos.
@@wintersummermedia Fair enough, but honestly with that mindset you can just use 2 iPhone 15 pro’s, an ND case from freewell with variable 2-5, usb-c dock, T-7 SSD, rode wireless pro / video mic NTG, 3 apature 300’s and have the same results while saving about $8,000.
@@wintersummermedia and by “that mindset” i’m referring to having someone that actually knows what they’re doing in videography versus someone who just buys the gear. Someone that knows what they’re doing and how to properly use the equipment can make those iPhones work better than someone who has $50,000 with a Gear but no clue what they’re doing technically speaking. Which sounds like what you’re referring to.
@@PrestonGladdBut why would someone who knows what they are doing watch this vids. A lot of people have the budget but not the knowledge, then the other way around.
It depends... If you are planning to shoot lots of broll too then one camera angle is good but if you won't capture too much broll then having a second camera angle will definitely help in the editing.
