Thanks dude 🙏

Options options options

Haha sometimes I think it's best to just get straight to the point.

Much appreciated 🙏

Appreciate you!

Thank you, means a lot

🙏🙏🙏

Glad it was helpful! Nets, diffusion and neg are your friends to help shape light

Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks dude. Nets flags and even diffusion really sells the look. Not everything has to be soft and diffused all the time. Ive been trying this technique a lot recently for some commercial shoots and love how it's been coming out.

@ exactly! natural light isn't always soft and we have to step out our "talking heads" mindset to create natural scenes.

@@tylerstewartmedia 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏

Definitely, always negotiate a travel rate and per diem! haha I forgot to add that part in there.

I’m in Southern California. Near Orange County. But would love to connect

Thank you! 🙏

Man thank you for your in depth and thoughtful response! Both of these were on a pretty tight timeline, we would shoot b roll all day then head to a location for an interview. I was the only person to setup cameras and lighting. Luckily we had an audio guy so I didn’t have to worry about that as well. Funny thing is, the last interview with the restaurant owner, she was sick the day of the shoot and we had to snag an interview the morning before we all flew out. I should build some more context into these and what went into scheduling the whole day. I will keep that in mind for future videos, that was a great suggestion.

Couldn’t be happier I made the switch.

Glad you think so!

That was their choice, they wanted straight on to camera. They wanted a side profile. They had an art director and I learned a lot just being on this shoot. Next time I’ll for sure be asking dimensions of backdrop. As you can see the reference photos are pretty damn close to this look.

@@WanderlustVP Im not talking about the subject being straight on , but the wall / BG behind them . Im not bagging on you , but your clients who actually requested it ! Its page one not to shoot directly onto a flat wall like that , zero depth , even if it's out of focus . But to do it on purpose ,thats a bit wild .

I agree man, I don’t know why they didn’t go with a more dynamic look. I’d rather shoot without the wall any day. They really locked into that loft apartment look haha. Also they wanted to put animations and call outs to his right, so maybe that played into their decision making. They wanted something clean they could overlay text and graphics on.

@@robinprobyn1971​​⁠I would generally agree with you, but check out the recent series Tom Brady Man in the Arena for a high budget, high profile doc-style show that is all straight-to-camera interviews with a flat background!

Semi newbie: sorry, am I missing something here? Was it really just a basic two cam interview setup? 60K???

I’m trying to remember, I think they were fairly short maybe 3 ft long since we just mounted the transmission close to the sdi port.

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that. I’m trying to provide as much value as I can with these videos to help people who haven’t been on the larger scale productions. That way they know what to expect

Well said, it takes a team! Thanks for watching 🙏

Be nice to your PAs get their number. You never know when they may a director, or on the studio side and may hook you up.

Thank you very much!

Appreciate it

It’s from my butterfly frame from glide gear. The pieces just snap together so I use the top 6ft section to drape diffusion over.

I hear you my guy! For my workflow and me personally I like to have more output. That way I’m not limiting myself when I diffuse or double diffuse the light. I own a few godox lights that work great. Do you use the molus series a lot?

@@WanderlustVP No ,I only recently bought the G300 and the tiny X60. Use the G300 with a travel series Godox 90cm dome. But with the X60 in the same small bag as the G300 ( I take the reflector out) I have a couple of decent lights in a very small travel kit . Main interview key lights I have normally are, Intellytech Mega 6 and 4 , which are great. But for one man band / lugging gear around type shoots Ive just been using these two zhiyun lights /90cm Light dome for interviews , Using Sigma Art 1.4,s so don't need high fire power. The G300 does have a 500w mode , but Ive not needed that so far.

LETS GOOOO!!!! Glad you love the BTS, trying to incorporate in more when im on shoots. HB is my old stomping ground when I first moved out here to California. Lets connect, hit me up on IG @WanderlustVP

Thank you so much! Trying to make it easy as possible for people to grasp. I try to keep it short and to the point. The Zhiyun is promising. I did notice a little color shift from my godox lights but nothing that is crazy, and a personal preference. Looking forward to really pushing its limits on set

Thanks dude! 🙏🙏

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! Will work on those for next time. What audio editing tools or enhancements do you usually use?

You should! It’s the best way to set yourself apart from the pack. Glad these help

Thank you very much! Hopefully people can see what worked for me and apply it when they run into these issues on set

Glad it could help you guys out! Where are you located or do you go all over the country?

@@WanderlustVP we really appreciate that man ✨🤩.

@@WanderlustVP we are located here in Mauritania 🇲🇷 / Africa we usually work in the capital city but we travel also sometimes for some events with our clients & partenerships

You bet!

All my fixtures are daylight balanced. I have just bought them that way either dude to price difference, or initially when I started there was an output drop when switching color temps. I usually just use a cto gel if I need to change the color of the light. I’m sure I’d have a different opinion if i actually had a bi color light but at the moment I just have all daylight balanced lights

For this b roll I believe we shot it at 60fps. Sometimes I like to shoot at 48fps for those non high action shots. To me the slo mo feels a little more natural and less overly slowed down

For sure no problem! For the DP role which included two cameras, lighting and audio the rate was $2500. I spent $150 on a 2nd camera rental which I paid to my AC/utility. The AC rate was $750 and I was able to bring on a PA for $350. Again I was just hired to shoot bring out equipment and hand off footage, the company who hired me handled the rest. Let me know if you have any other questions regarding rates I would be happy to help

@@WanderlustVP Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you, I try to steer clients away from white seamless backdrops as much as humanly possible. haha. The location we were in was already stellar but the head boss in charge wanted this look so we made them happy.

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Haha thanks dude, or the deadpan stare I have when demonstrating a back light 🤦‍♂️ trying to keep it light

Thanks dude. I linked the light stand attachment in the comments and the video description. As for the harbor freight wall spreader I’ll try to find an Amazon link and the additional clamp I use to rig the light to the wall spreader. Thanks for the sub and let me know if have any additional questions. Thanks for checking out the channel. 🤙

use these all the time for the tubes. Great way to angle them and get them into the position you need. amzn.to/3RAxANS

@@WanderlustVP, thanks for the info. What I am most interested in is the clear plastic clamp that you snapped around the tube. I can't seem to find those anywhere.

@@mikestewart4733 not sure it's the exact model used in this video but google Nanlite Pavotube clip. You can get them for five bucks from B&H. (I would double check to make sure they fit whatever tube light you're using specifically.)

Thanks!

I bought these almost 4 years ago and they are still going strong. They are really affordable now, let me know if you have any questions. Lots of options out there

Thank you very much. Yes you can most certainly use them for photography. You can use them like you would any continuous light, just be mindful of output. They are bright but maybe not the brightest in certain scenarios. The color options are a lot of fun to play with to get some unique looks.
