We're back with cinematographer Casey McBeath to shoot cinematic interviews. This time, we're taking it outdoors and only shaping natural light by using diffusion frames, reflectors, and neutral density filters. We're also going to be talking about how to mic interview subjects and avoid wind noise. Everything that we'll be using is on the indie-budget level that you can use for a very long time.

"I need some audio expert." - Ted yelled, clipping the audio.
When interviewing Ted I always add an extra -12db! The camera person is probably shooting Ted for the first time 😹
Lol, noticed that too!
I am definitely a sound mixer's worst nightmare. - Ted :)
Don't worry folks, we forgive the clipping, we come here for the amazing video tips!
Indy Mogul needs to invest in a 32-bit audio recorder!
What I always love about Casey and Ted videos is that they know the right way to do it but instead opt to show you the process of errors and why they don't do it certain ways. I wish I had this type of content when I was learning fundamentals.
Glad it was helpful!!
YESSSSS I want more videos like this one! everyone on TH-cam is making gear reviews all the time. I'm tired of that. Gear reviews don't help you be a better filmmaker. THIS VIDEOS DO. Thanks Casey & Andrew
“You can do this on a pretty low budget”
Audio: “ima end this mans whole career”
Wait wat, apart from the nice boompole (though not a super expensive one) this is basically the cheapest way to get professional, wind-protected audio. That shiny board + c-stand is almost the same price as the entire audio package - and the camera package is 4x the audio package. Audio is not an afterthought.
If audio is 50 % of the video, not really. But if you talk about the sennheiser stuff and wireless connectors on sets, yes
Use this as a "Poor Casey" button. Ted is always making him suffer hahaha.
That's a wonderful idea! We'll approach Staples on that button!
Indy Mogul has taken up the task of making Casey's life difficult! But always love the tips and hacks and all the film making goodness!!
Now this is some classic IndyMogul talking points and guidance. Glad to see. Motivate
Ted is doing a great job hosting.
Thanks Nathan!
Video idea :
Same thing but everything fits in a backpack!
LOL Casey will try to find the world's biggest backpack to put all his pro gear into
Love how you guys flipped the script on this one and decided to push doing the job on a setting which is more realistic where things don't usually go as planned. Learned so much from this because it showed practical use of basic items instead of just what it does but why it does.
Ted ALWAYS clipping the audio... there's no exception.
I love Casey! We all love Casey! Thank you for all the valuable knowledge!
I love the friend dynamic of Casey and Ted--- just too good! Thank you for another great video :D
Glad you liked it!
i love that you made it hard to reflect some tougher stuff for users, best to learn about the worst case scenario, great vid
Always appreciate you showing the hardest option in these example videos. Great work.
This video was one of your best yet. Keep up the great work! Great info in a entertaining “light”.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
You’re a legend! Thanks for explaining things so well and simply. Keep doing more! 😄
Great content and I watched the whole thing from start to finish. Definitely more interesting, useful and engaging than gear reviews.
Thanks for explaining why even using the pro gear. Helps to see the other problems it solves that experience will end up teaching us lower level guys first.
Wow, CRAMMED with information. Thanks!
You guys help me a lot in understanding the fundamental of shooting better.
Another great video with useful tips. Thank you guys. Love the reaction of Casey :).
Casey has the best reactions!!
been waiting for someone to make a tutorial like this. Thanks guys
Been loving these videos guys, keep it up!
Oh man, they look like so many part i learn from this video
The arbitrary limitations are so much fun!
Love this style of indy mogul! working hard to get the good shot! thank you Casey for putting up with what the people want!
I’m trying!
Ted is amazing. Love how good he is as a host. 😁🙏🏻😌
I love Indy Mogul videos. Thank u
No, thank you!!
great dynamic between all you guys and girls, always something new to learn. always psyched to go shoot something after your videos!! thanks so much!!
Hey Dennis.
Are you 🇬🇭?😊😊
@@stanleymakafui akwaba ☺️ Stanley. I’m in hamburg, Germany. So where are you living in Ghana
So glad I found this channel
Another great video! Thanks guys
Great episode!!!
Thank you for talking about sound!
Love this, thank you Indy Mogul
Aha I love it. You rock Indy
Holy shit that audio was so good it caught me off guard when she started speaking, makes me want to buy a better mic
Dear lord I love it
Excellent tutorial. Thanks so much! ...Andrew: "I'll go back to crafty - no worries!" Too funny!
great video as always Ted thanks Casey for your knowledge and willing to share
Thanks for watching!!
Bring Nerida back ! she was great! ..... great useful stuff as usual !!
Great content as always!
That segway into StoryBlocks is smooth!
*segue.* Now you know
@@TheREAPERBlog Thank you. I would have never known.
Turns out the two are commonly confused.

I really enjoyed watching this, I learned a lot.
Great Video thank You guys ✌️
This is great stuff, thank you guys!
Great tips as always. Looking forward to seeing more
I love all your content. They are making me a better filmmaker
Always great content :D
This is a ton of very helpful information! Thank you!
Ted rocks, this tutorial was great
Thank you!
great vid Ted. Thanks
Real big fan of these websites though. More Casey quotes! Also love the reactions when you make things as difficult as possible.
We love it too!~
This is so insightful, as a beginner Photographer/Videographer 👊🏽💪🏽
I love Casey being like "Why you gotta do me like that?" this feels a lot like "how hard can we make this for him?"... I like it...
The crew is just like my family. I’m used to it nowadays 😅
;)
Damn. I needed to see this two weeks ago.
Funny ad for squarespace! :-D
Casey is the best!
I cried 😭
"Be carefule how many times you make them do that though, coz you might not have friends either". Best lesson I got from this video.
Haha love it!!!!
Awesome, thanks so much
Such a good model
Perfect Ad
I love this channel :-)
Brilliant 👏
That was a fun video
Does the daycare also do "special" dutch plants? It some kind of "grass"! I will pick them when the plant is grown up!
Great video Ted! ❤️
10:40. Incredible.
Great stuff and lot's of fun!! Thanks Mogul crew :)
Funny... so much good info!! 👍 I'm a beginner interview style mini doc cinematographer and I need this info! I want to try the deity mics. Right now, I'm using the Rhode Wireless GO 2 and have a movo mini shotgun plugged into the rhode as a transmitter. But I would like a better mic and I see alot of people are using deity. Keep showing us LITTLE GUYS tricks of the trade fellas!!! Sick channel!
I love these indy turorials! Thank you!
-Will
I would love to see a run and gun backpack setup, something a one or two person crew could use
Do you mean audio? Because I wouldn’t trust the lighting aspect to anything that could fit in a backpack. As soon as you put something up in the air, you want to make sure it is way down. Usually a nice heavy stand is only going to barely cut it inside, so you want sandbags and everything.
We need to make a separate video to actually tackle your idea. Maximizing not having gear.
@@CaseyMcBeath1 Video and audio. The idea is a setup for people starting out with a channel. Usually you don't have a giant crew. I myself record interviews with a one-man- sometimes even a zero-man-setup since I'm also on camera, to do the interview
Geruhn Yeah, that’s how I started out myself. Always on my own, never occurred. The only thing that could fit in my backpack with my camera and lenses. I’ll have a think about it, but I am always the first one to suggest investing in yourself to solve problems
Love the advice and seriously thank you Casey for all you do! Was thinking the same thing as Geruhn. As someone who hikes im very interested in what tips or tricks you would have for being ultra light while still creating cinematic footage. Maybe headlamp, small light, tripod, camera and 5 in 1 reflector for a set up. Thanks again, love these videos!!!
Have you’ve done a video on file management ? Storing videos files, audio files, and how to name and compartmentalize them ? That would be cool. I know that’s a bit of a problem for me
Muito bom!!!
He's so good he just had to come and give a word from the sponsor.
Good stuff. I really should get a C-Stand or two or three...🤣
😍😍😍
Youre awesome
This is brilliant!!! Was this colour graded or SOOC footage, for the interview final clip
I gotta give a like just for interrupting his usual camera answer 😂
Casey's usual camera might as well be the 6D MkII 😂
Love these videos but Ted peaking audio is kinda nuts
This is way less than usual, tbh
Hey great stuff! What if it's a couch interview outdoors? Two people in frame. How to boom if LAV mics are only for a backup sound? What aperture to use so that both talents will be in focus: f/2.8 or better f/3.5-4.0?
Plant day care lol thats a great idea
PLEASE show us the difference between the many types of diffusion materials and fabrics!! And which one is recomended for each moment
Great idea ;)
On god, I've learnt more watching Indy mogul than I've ever learnt on my film course at uni lol
Why do you start ISO 800?!
Same question
Most cameras will have a dynamic reaction to the settings of their ISO, with the full range of their dynamic range sliding around its middle grey. It's a difficult concept to explain in brief, but a simple statement is that typically a higher ISO will retain more highlight details and a lower ISO will retain more shadow detail. So surprisingly, many cameras (at least at the professional level) will give better results (depending on wants and needs) when setting ISO high for bright sun lit scenes and low for dark scenes.
@@CaseyMcBeath1 thanks. i actually just asked the question, then decided to read the comments.
@@lamarshealey3332 yea so curious as well
@@CaseyMcBeath1 so how ISO r u talking about with regards to these canon dslrs? thanks by the way
Muito Bom
thanks guys for the information. i'm always learning from your videos. However, I am trying to understand why would you shoot at iso 800 in broad daylight? is it canon's native iso to achieve dynamic range? why wasn't it set to 100?

My concerns were that if left at the lowest ISO, the amount of room we would have in the highlights would be too tight and make things clip early.
Damn bruhh
Casey Expression exactly same as mine with with clueless client hahahaha
Loving these Indy series of challenges - As a budget Canon chap it would be great to see you guys thrown like a Canon Rebel camera to work with - how much quality an you squeeze out of one of those for a short shoot?!
Honestly it’s pretty much the same camera. With the exception of sensor size (I believe the rebels are not full frame… I could be wrong), as far as I understand they all offer the same color science, bit depth, Codec.
@@CaseyMcBeath1 thanks so much for response! Yes Rebels are APSC crop sensor - I recently hired a canon 90d for testing before buy and I didnt see too much of a difference in quality or noise in photos or videos so I would say you are pretty much right it seems regardless of cost there isnt the huge gap in quality one might think!
nice show and nice tips... now i have a question.. if you are in a scenery of really high wind, what tools can u use, to avoid any wind issue with the setup???
I know u will look for a next location, but the cliente don't want that next location, she or her what the high wind location.. what are the correct tools for that?
Tons of sandbags, an army of grips, ropes to tie things down, you can even go with special materials that have holes in them so they don’t catch as MUCH of the wind. But if you’re experienced Gaffer or your judgment tells you it’s too dangerous, you’ll have to start cutting back
Helpful fun video thanks 😊 With the mic and the lavs that you use how are you dealing with the COVID risk? They are going to get covered in a lot of spit.
We are making sure to sanitize them and handle with gloves after every shoot
@@indymogul thanks. I am experimenting with a few methods, its good to know how others are approaching it.
I ask me all at the time.
Is that the Guy of Aputure?
Hey the interview stage best so my question is for interview is which is best picture profile
divertido video
Points for the Sisyphus reference. What was bothering me was why leave the ISO so high and use the ND rather than get the sweet sweet low ISO with maybe minimal ND?
Most cameras will have a dynamic reaction to the settings of their ISO, with the full range of their dynamic range sliding around its middle grey. It's a difficult concept to explain in brief, but a simple statement is that typically a higher ISO will retain more highlight details and a lower ISO will retain more shadow detail. So surprisingly, many cameras (at least at the professional level) will give better results (depending on wants and needs) when setting ISO high for bright sunlit scenes and low for dark scenes. That is how a large majority of professional cinematographers will work.
I will say its a bit counter-intuitive for anyone who comes from an analog film background. We always reached for the lower ISO and ASA when we could. Since then, I've been mostly working in the Blackmagic ecosphere, and minus the 2nd native ISO development, they've always seemed to work similar to film in that sense.
@@CaseyMcBeath1 I didn't know this. That was really helpful. I was wondering the same thing.
OM Entertainment Yes, it’s very counterintuitive. In one of the other comments I put a link to the filmmaker IQ breakdown that should explain it a little bit more. I won’t say that it makes the concepts easier to understand, but it does give you more information
Hi there,
where can you buy the tripod for the audio? And where do you find the adapter between the rod and the microphone?
Was the Canon shot at ISO 800 as it is its base ISO? I have a Canon 750D (entry level body), I feel there is too much noise at ISO 800, should I drop down the ISO or stick with it?
I have a question ………where do you buy the collapsible frame for the magic cloth. I can find some that are a permanent 4 foot square, but not one that collapses for travel. Can you help?
What lav mics were you folks wearing? Thanks for showing websites with the cost of the items you were talking about.
Ted and Casey were wearing the Deity W.Lav www.deitymic.com/collections/lavaliers/products/w-lav-da35-bundle
@@DeityMicrophones thanks so much!
