in the arena of this photography/videography world becoming more and more short-video space , becki and chris I appreciate you soo much to keep long form films like Mauzy and their extras and BTS coming up. We must not let these efforts , which go into set building and composing the shot and designing it , die just for the sake that reels and shorts get viewed more and require less effort
Becki, the fact that you had a mood board with the colour coordinated right down to the outfits you wore in the video to tie it all together is what I love about your channel. Your attention to detail is like no one else!
this is REALLY helpful! I have a small space too so will totally use these tips! thank you for being so generous with your tips! love that you are so honest about your process gives people like me hope!
This video falls in the right time for me! I am designing a studio for interview and we are looking to create multiple set in the same place. Great ideas here! thanks
Becki, I've thought it for as long as I've followed you guys, but realized I've maybe never commented. I feel like your channel puts out some of the most high quality and visually beautiful content anywhere today. Love the work, and also love the podcast. You guys are awesome. Thanks for doing your thing and sharing it with all of us! ❤
I definitely thought it was a window light when I first watched. Then I realized how stylish everything was, and I was like "yeah, Becki and Chris for sure made this set..." 😄
Your videos are so informative and captivating that I wouldn't want to watch them when I'm tired. You make me want to commit 100% of my attention to everything you're saying. Such a breath of fresh air in today's world of attention-grabbing (often brainless) content. THANK YOU so much the hard work you put into your content. You're amazing!
Love seeing what all went into the set design for Mauzy! Loved the film and loved this bts look, thanks for sharing!! Also, cracking up at Chris' "hook and loop" ASMR comments 😂
I love the set build vids! Yes! It's nice having someone with a background in design who is also a film maker to talk through the process. Also. I appreciate that the set had a color scheme based off of the film... and the outfits... like... damn thats some polish!
I remember finding B&C when they were like around 8k Subs and caught myself thinking this is the channel I'mma keep in mind to learn about photography and inspiration. Glad to have found an amazing channel. Cheers :P
Comment for algo. Ty Becki! EDIT: Oh wow... I don't know HOW but I actually thought you shot those interview scenes in your guest bedroom but this makes much more sense.
Ustedes son simplemente espectaculares, gracias por este video y por supuesto que queremos ver muchos mas de esta forma, son una gran inspiración para muchos creadores, gracias
This is awesome❤ The level of detail you consider to build this set, I totally believed this was near an actual window. I’m looking forward to see more content like this
I love this so much! The thought process and the details are amazing! The board behind the sheers to make it look like the window box/sill?!?!?! O.M.G!!!! I am constantly inspired by your creativity!!! Thanks for this!!!
This was so creative, I never would’ve guessed you didn’t film this in one of the AirBnBs in Newfoundland during Mauzy! The chair is gorgeous, especially with the rug thrown on it. ❤
This was so good! I watched the entire film when it came out but I had no idea that the “interviews” were done on a set. Like my brain just accepted that this was a real room for sure.
Love your content style and really appreciate the effort that goes into it. Mauzy was one of the best pieces of info and content I've seen in recent times. Has inspired me to make one of my hometown in India. Keep these videos coming
Wow! I actually thought this piece was filmed in Newfoundland 😳 I remember you guys did that in another video where a talking head piece was filmed in a small cabin lol. I figured this was filmed in a hotel room. Totally faked me out that there was a window there lol. Such a great learning video. Great work 🙌🏼
Omg no way. You really had me fooled. I have been trying to figure out when and where the heck yall did that. I thought maybe it was during the trip in an air bb or something but also like no way. Had me fooled and stumped. Love these dvd extras :)
Shocked to find out this was not a real window. Wow, you really pulled this off so sick. When I watched the documentary I loved this shot, and was sure that it was a real window haha. So cool to hear your thought process.
Thanks for sharing this breakdown. The fake window lighting setup is also called the “Book Light” technique. Watching ‘Mauzy’ in cinescope fit beautifully on my ultra wide monitor with a 21:9 ratio in 4K 🤌🏽
I feel like this has altered my sense of reality! When I watched the documentary, I literally thought you were shooting in some Airbnb in NF… I never would have guessed this was a staged set. The professionalism and attention to detail is truly astounding… even down to incorporating the coloring palettes into you wardrobes for both this set and the actual trip. Incredible.
I love the idea of creating fake sets that can be constantly switched around to new sets. Someday, when I have the space, I hope to do that. For now I just change my office setup every few months for the channel, haha :D
This video is perfect to watch for today, so glad for you this, i've been watching the channel for years from the very beginning and I get value out of everything you two put up, especially today because I finally have a space I can mold the way I want to and i've been struggling to come up with a good idea and I think its because I keep trying to implement color and RGB but i'm more of a flat white, grey and black kinda person and this video helped a lot. Also I wish I was small enough to sit in a chair and cross my legs, that just looks comfortable.
Great video. Makes me want to build a set, and make a movie. As usual you all make stunning visual work, and aside from your high quality execution I am impressed how consistently you make me want to get out and try new things and make new art. Thank you.
Such a sleek, simple, and honestly poetic presentation of this simple set up! So cool to see some of the BTS of how Mauzy was all put together. PS - greetings from Buffalo's sibling city - Rochester!
This was a helpful video. Thank you! You answered some questions that i didn’t even know I had. Keep up the good work. I look forward to watching your channel progress, and to enjoying your films. Congratulations on the new home as well. It looks like it’s a wonderful project and I can’t wait to see what you do to it. Cheers to both of you! 😊
Funny you should mention Cinema-scope, I've had a Siuri 50mm anamorphic lens for well over a year and its been gathering dust for two reasons. The first is because its completely manual and an alien learning curve for me and my Panasonic GH6 which isn't exactly famed for auto focusing anyway. And the second reason is because I didn't have a scooby doo on how to calculate the de-shrinking maths. For well over a year I fell down a rabbit hole of trying to do the maths with aspect ratios and squeeze factors until today when I solved the problem in a matter of seconds. It is simple in its ingenuity, I printed off a Test Card with perfect circles and filmed it with my anamorphic lens for a few seconds. And the genius part, in my editing software I stretched out the horizontal aspect of my image until the circles were once again perfect circles. No amount of maths even came close to simply filming a Test Card and making the circles become circles on my editing software of choice. I fully realise that I'm way, way, way, off topic but should you experiment with cinema-scope in the future and you get your hands on an anamorphic lens for that added production feel then I hope this simple hack, saves you the pain and fear I went through learning how to play with my new toy. Maybe I should have kept with my normal lenses and stuck some duct tape onto my camera screen to fake the aspect ratio, letterbox, and help frame my scene to fake cinema-scope that way.
loved the video. I was such a huge fan of the set on the Mauzy film and was going to try to build something similar myself and now you've given me all the instructions!! Thank you
So creative! I’ve been trying to decide how to turn my office in our house into a studio. So excited to watch your short film on the coffee table book. I’m going to try and get my wife to watch it with me. Great video Becki!
Small creative space but I would love to have multiple sets or looks but can't afford a larger space. Using these tips I feel inspired to make a bunch of fake locations to keep things interesting on future projects. 👍👍 Love you stuff ❤️
@@BeckiandChris Incredible! The amount of effort and attention to detail is just amazing. I haven't noticed that even the outfits matched the colors in the movie but now that mentioned it, WOW!
One question that always pops to mind when you show how you create a set: do you keep all the props? What do you do with all the stuff you buy/build after you are done with the project?
Yes we keep everything! I’ve been brainstorming on a background storage cart but I’ve got some shelves and boxes for props etc. The chair from this is actually from our living room.
Nice! I always wonder about this because I wouldn’t have the space to keep everything 😛. Thanks for the answer and thanks for the video! Love all your content.
I thought that was an Airbnb from the trip. Awesome!
Same and Becki did mention that she would reuse the wall for this so I was so confused as to where they put it in the movie 😂
My mind is blown seeing how much work went into just this shot, not to mention the entire mauzy film and extras! Super cool to see this bts!
Thanks dude!!
I loooooove hearing the step by step thought process for decor details. Like, roughening up the stool?! This stuff is so fun
After watching B&C videos for a year, you feel like you can be a professional home designer.
in the arena of this photography/videography world becoming more and more short-video space , becki and chris I appreciate you soo much to keep long form films like Mauzy and their extras and BTS coming up. We must not let these efforts , which go into set building and composing the shot and designing it , die just for the sake that reels and shorts get viewed more and require less effort
Yes! So stoked for this one. I remember wondering the whole time if you were next to a window or if it was just Becki’s lighting sorcery. Well done!
Thanks dude!!
Becki, the fact that you had a mood board with the colour coordinated right down to the outfits you wore in the video to tie it all together is what I love about your channel. Your attention to detail is like no one else!
this is REALLY helpful! I have a small space too so will totally use these tips! thank you for being so generous with your tips! love that you are so honest about your process gives people like me hope!
❤❤ can’t wait to use this tips !
This video falls in the right time for me! I am designing a studio for interview and we are looking to create multiple set in the same place. Great ideas here! thanks
Yessss. We wanna see more of this..
Your Mauzy film was dope, but I find these "How did we do it" type videos so interesting!
Thanks so much! Glad you’re finding them interesting!
HARD SAME.
And yet the video still turned out AMAZING
Becki, I've thought it for as long as I've followed you guys, but realized I've maybe never commented. I feel like your channel puts out some of the most high quality and visually beautiful content anywhere today. Love the work, and also love the podcast. You guys are awesome. Thanks for doing your thing and sharing it with all of us!
❤
So many practical takeaways! I honestly thought those interviews were filmed in the corner of a living room 🤯
I always appreciate the behind-the-scenes videos. You are the "fixer-upper" of TH-cam.
Becki, you are so talented, I enjoyed the feature film. I would love to see the BTS of your book creation.
The attention to detail is amazing. Nice work. I love the chair, too.
Yes yes more videos like these!!! Absolutely loved it
You blow me away every time you do a bts! So well thought out and has a wonderful cozy vibe. Perfectly compliments the Mauzy vibe.
I definitely thought it was a window light when I first watched. Then I realized how stylish everything was, and I was like "yeah, Becki and Chris for sure made this set..." 😄
😂😂
Great tutorial, always interesting to see how things are done, lots of great ideas 👍👍😎
The attention to detail is inspiring.
This is awesome!! I am in a super small apartment where I can’t paint so this was awesome to see.
Your videos are so informative and captivating that I wouldn't want to watch them when I'm tired. You make me want to commit 100% of my attention to everything you're saying. Such a breath of fresh air in today's world of attention-grabbing (often brainless) content. THANK YOU so much the hard work you put into your content. You're amazing!
Yes to more videos like this! Really enjoy seeing how you guys, build, set up the lights, angels & props selections🤩🙌🏼
Lots of nuggets of very helpful advice, thank you! ONE DAY, I will get to this level of production! Going to check out Mauzy!!
Nice to see a suble shift away from your typical dracula, cave-like saturnine background setting style.
Love seeing what all went into the set design for Mauzy! Loved the film and loved this bts look, thanks for sharing!! Also, cracking up at Chris' "hook and loop" ASMR comments 😂

So helpful!!! ❤ Thank you for talking to all of us who rent!
Lol I had no idea that wasn't a real window show in the documentary! Killed it.
Comment for algo. Ty Becki!

Aw thanks Christina!!
Going to do an office/TH-cam redo this fall/winter. Super good info here. Love the depth you went into and not just a quick little overview. 👏🏼
Thanks for sharing this BTS look! Your attention to detail is awesome -- and inspiring!
This was so creative, I never would’ve guessed you didn’t film this in one of the AirBnBs in Newfoundland during Mauzy! The chair is gorgeous, especially with the rug thrown on it. ❤
Excellent video that explains why you made the choices you did. Love it!
Never mind the sound, it sounds grate, nice job
This was so good! I watched the entire film when it came out but I had no idea that the “interviews” were done on a set. Like my brain just accepted that this was a real room for sure.
I would love to see more videos on how to make sets in small areas.
I just love Becki and Chris sooo much!!!
Love your content style and really appreciate the effort that goes into it.
Mauzy was one of the best pieces of info and content I've seen in recent times. Has inspired me to make one of my hometown in India. Keep these videos coming

Seriously the amount of work that goes into your videos is amazing! Incredible job guys!!!! And on top of that I learned so many things!!!
Me: too lazy to even put on pants when filming myself.
Becki & Chris: make an entire fake room and furniture to film themselves.
Don’t be fooled, there’s definitely sweat pants going on under the table in most of our videos 😆
Perfect. Been thinking about my new TH-cam bkg and you gave me everything I need to know and more!
You fooled us! Nicely done.
The fact this wasn’t a real set and window makes me so happy. This stuff is so freaking fun and awesome. It looks amazing!
Thanks dude! Was a fun one to create
Shocked to find out this was not a real window. Wow, you really pulled this off so sick. When I watched the documentary I loved this shot, and was sure that it was a real window haha. So cool to hear your thought process.

The set looked amazing and the attention to detail is simply brilliant......chef's kiss 😘👌🏻
Really good to see you back Becki !!- Old Fan here!
I feel like this has altered my sense of reality! When I watched the documentary, I literally thought you were shooting in some Airbnb in NF… I never would have guessed this was a staged set. The professionalism and attention to detail is truly astounding… even down to incorporating the coloring palettes into you wardrobes for both this set and the actual trip. Incredible.
So much fun to watch you guys! It fascinates me how much effort you guys put into the videos you create! 😀 So good🤩
YAW SOOOOOOOOOOO DOPE!
I love the idea of creating fake sets that can be constantly switched around to new sets. Someday, when I have the space, I hope to do that.
For now I just change my office setup every few months for the channel, haha :D
Love your lighting

Extremely helpful! Thank you!
Great video. Makes me want to build a set, and make a movie. As usual you all make stunning visual work, and aside from your high quality execution I am impressed how consistently you make me want to get out and try new things and make new art. Thank you.
Legit thought the talking head was shot while you guys were in Newfoundland. Love all the bts content post mini doco.
Wooooo … or should I say WoW… I thought this perm set/ a new room in your house… completely sold on it being a real room!
Such a sleek, simple, and honestly poetic presentation of this simple set up! So cool to see some of the BTS of how Mauzy was all put together.
PS - greetings from Buffalo's sibling city - Rochester!
Wowza, Color coordination down to the clothing? Now that's the next level
Yes, please. ❤ more video like this
Yes please Miss, may we have some more?!
W👀W this entire time I thought it was an actual room! Very impressive 👏
Where did you get that chair? Looks comfortable.
This was a helpful video. Thank you! You answered some questions that i didn’t even know I had. Keep up the good work. I look forward to watching your channel progress, and to enjoying your films. Congratulations on the new home as well. It looks like it’s a wonderful project and I can’t wait to see what you do to it. Cheers to both of you! 😊

loved the video. I was such a huge fan of the set on the Mauzy film and was going to try to build something similar myself and now you've given me all the instructions!! Thank you
too creative. it will definitely help me to setup my studio!
Well done
Such a wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing your process and giving out so many great tips! Thanks! Big love from Israel!
Where is the chair from?
The setup BTS are exquisite.
Really enjoyed watching this video.
I would love if you could make a minimalist kinda nerd background for youtube video.
So creative! I’ve been trying to decide how to turn my office in our house into a studio. So excited to watch your short film on the coffee table book. I’m going to try and get my wife to watch it with me. Great video Becki!
Small creative space but I would love to have multiple sets or looks but can't afford a larger space. Using these tips I feel inspired to make a bunch of fake locations to keep things interesting on future projects. 👍👍 Love you stuff ❤️
Thanks Shawn! Definitely some fun stuff that can be done around the house in different corners!
mind blown! 🤯 i actually thought you guys rented out an airbnb for that. i have never expected it.
W.O.W is soooooooooooo amazing!
I was surprised that this is not a window 🤯
Glad it passed!!
@@BeckiandChris Incredible! The amount of effort and attention to detail is just amazing. I haven't noticed that even the outfits matched the colors in the movie but now that mentioned it, WOW!
Thank you guys very much again.
Beautiful Chair ! probably the second most important thing, between the creators and the rest of the set. Can you please share it's link as well ?
That was amazing, guys! Thanks for the ideas 🙏
That was done in your studio, I can’t believe it I was convinced you’d filmed it in a living room. Well done you had me fooled 100%!
So awesome , yes I think people overthink their “studio” and think they need big budgets :)
One question that always pops to mind when you show how you create a set: do you keep all the props? What do you do with all the stuff you buy/build after you are done with the project?
Yes we keep everything! I’ve been brainstorming on a background storage cart but I’ve got some shelves and boxes for props etc. The chair from this is actually from our living room.
Nice! I always wonder about this because I wouldn’t have the space to keep everything 😛.
Thanks for the answer and thanks for the video! Love all your content.
Insanely helpful 💯 You are one of the best teacher ❤💯
Sooo well told this story. This is really compelling. Congrats, fun to watch!!! Thank you for the tips.
Such a great video. Thanks for the info!!
Man! I love your protection glasses! what are those? Keep up the great videos!
This video is exactly when I need it, thank you Becki !
Good job!
so extremely helpful!! thank yoU!
impressive. well done
