Another blessed day with Wandering DP uploading another video.

Mucho respect to you for doing ANY behind the scenes because it is extra WORK.
I tried it once and it got old REAL quick.

[randallburgess]

Awesome you’re back with it. Thanks so much for taking on the subject matter and love your channel. Thanks so much for all that you bring to our community.

[RallyAddict]

Awesome. Thank you Patrick. The BTS stuff is the best :) The mix of your handdrawn visuals + bts pics from set is the perfect (most educating) combination for me. Cool they let you do this project + enhancing it with a regular breakdown. Someone in Blackmagic marketing team is doing the right thing :). Kudos to them too.

[MtZionMediaPro]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this content!! Thank you for putting in the extra work to document the process and break down these beautiful shots! I'm glad to hear your experience with the Pyxis was favorable!

The octobox in living room had me rolling.

Man I know this is probably ridiculed as a naive opinion, but I really like the lighting and the whole shot that is the closeup of the woman on couch in daytime. I understand that camera-side key light most often creates a flat image, but I feel like you knocked it out of the park with all the variations in light and shadow and color within that particular frame, it’s really very nice.

[justindavis]

Thank you, Patrick! We appreciate you more than you know.

[cynemathis]

I wish I could like this twice. Thanks for sharing.

[JonathanPalfrey]

Haha so true about the post sunset regret. So many times we’re packing down or packed down just as the light looks good.

On one production I even managed to capture the model going into the sea after the shoot which ended up being one of the best shots in the commercial. Luckily still had a pocket 4k near me as it happened when everything else had been packed down.

[DiodeFilms]

To be fair, your viewers are far more likely to have an octobox in their living room than most.

[drafeirha]

This is the first time that I see you break down your own work apart from that 10 year old film of that girl running. And I really hope there will be more of that in the future because there is a big difference between making educated guesses about how third party projects were shot and explaining the real decisions and challenges of a project you actually shot.

[MojoPapiFPV]

Talent usually has an army of minions with their phones out creating all sorts of content for them. You would probably have to take the same angle and find someone who you're paying to be there or apprenticing, filming the BTS for you and shadowing you, so you're not using client's time to do your BTS. You could occasionally interact if appropriate or just voice-over in post.

[robsquad_films]

Love this stuff, I've been listening to you for years on your podcast and on patreon at one point. I like your point on crossing the line for the reverse key, this is something I've battled and end up doing both if I have the time. I always love the reverse key the best though but I really liked how you pulled it off on this.

[LuisGrolez]

Great idea to use the Pyxis as a viewfinder for the LF

[ImranStBrice]

oh yes, another one, let's gooo!

[who_the_hell_really_Cares_v]

Amazing job on this shoot and breakdown. You nearly made me order the camera after this, but I forgot no internal ND's. I think I'll catch them on the V2 of the Pyxis once they add internal ND'S ;) I've grown too accustomed and spoiled to the internal Nd's on my 12k's and 6k pro

[largeteezy]

Jeez I sure wish I could buy this camera

[robinprobyn]

Thanks for detailed answer to my question, I guess I thought close ups wouldn't have entailed a major relight, naivety on my part . Or one could have retired to ones trailer with a large G&T, with the line, that was said to me by none other than Mr B Ackroyd, " well, I cant film excuses " .

[MichelangeloBaffoni]

beautiful work, beautiful explanation of techniques and lighting. but I was here to see the Pyxis.
