      Daniel's stuff is amazing - I always learn so much. But he just kept going with all the things you could call a plastic bag... it was remarkably entertaining. So, yeah, some could call this: a flexible polymer container. Or maybe a transparent veggie vehicle. There is no end to the nicknames for that prop.
      Never stop being you, Daniel.

    Its also very important for clients to have an infinite black backdrop to reduce the major banding issues. As long as you don't have different shades going on in one background piece, you're safe and it will look good!

  • @DrewWillson
    @DrewWillson 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    To reduce the overhead/key light spilling onto the backdrop, you can also hang some black fabric around the frame. This is called “skirting” the light and it’s used in videos like May I Have This Dance with Chance the Rapper and Francis and the Lights. It’s also a great method if you don’t have a lot of space to pull your subject away from the backdrop.

    • @zubeyrgun1767
      @zubeyrgun1767 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right, we should adjust the light as well as we can before we go into the post production phase. Otherwise, things like water drops get distorted when turning the background black.

    Question though....For the pepper in the air example, how do you set the focus beforehand? How do you have CRISP, PERFECT focus on something moving mid-air? Do you measure the focus with your hand and lock it in place and hope for the best?
    A follow-up...Getting into nitpicking details here... What if you can't reach the focus lock with the other hand? You'd need an extra person to help lock the focus?
