Suggestion for lighting @ 5:30. Noticed that your ceiling is white/light color, try bouncing your light source off the ceiling coz your present set-up is All light on your R & darker on your L. Or change your seated position & bounce your light off the bureau(?) mirror, evening out light/dark spots....

[Thomas_automations]

The difference seen in the intro is huge. Appreciate these suggestions, they will really help me out

Nice video. One feedback I have is you haven't covered HOW to actually adjust the light. The monitor on the camera can give a false idea of the picture's balance. Similarly, seeing the picture on laptop screen is also not going to give you an accurate picture. So what data should you look at to get the right balance of light and shadow is the key to a good picture.

Please what camera did you use to film the other camera?

[sfire_]

Thankyou for this
I’m currently editing one of my videos..

[brandonandsora]

How would you do lighting for a two person talking head?

[NecroNicki]

Great video! Maybe give us some more creative ideas for the background light besides the lamps. Like what are different ways they light the background in the movies?

In the video you talk about getting a good SD card. At time code 1:23 I am not sure if you mention the repeated use of the SD card. That is, you download the footage and then wipe to use for new footage. Is that something you recommend? Or should I simple have hundreds of SD cards with saved footage? I use SSD storage to save the footage I want to keep.

[Polynasian]

Thank you so much for this. Really appreciate this.

[shreddykrueger]

Great video but that rhode video micro sounds horrible man. Definitely gotta switch that up! Too tinny

[travisshaw]

Thanks, Nate! Hey, how quiet/noisy is the Amaran light? I"m recording music videos and need a quiet light. I was going to go with the Godox UL60 Silent light, but it's more expensive. Have you had an issues with noise using the Amaran light?

[jovanijordan]

I’m wondering if it’s worth spending a few hundred more to get the Sony EV-10 ii, any thoughts on that?

[RaymondwLin]

First time I've heard the term "Large APSC Sensor" and background blur when talking about cameras. What are you comparing it with? m4/3s?
