But..I'm always amazed in what they keep saying "you can literally do this with nothing" and they keep on adding all these lights and equipment : D :D

[DANAMIONLINE]

I like how Ted is so engaged in receiving the information when I'm sure he already knows half of the insights.

Say it again - LOVE these setups and shots using lower end gear - makes it so everyone can learn and do. Thanks! 👍👍👍👍👍

[curtisjudd]

Well that was both educational and entertaining!

[SunDevilThor]

More of this please. I love seeing content that can be re-produced at home with high quality results if done right.

Indy Mogul, Studiobinder, Aputure, CookeOptics are some of the best YouTube channels to superpower your cinematography. Thank fuck for you guys, making our lives easier. Anyone starting out has zero excuses, all you need to do is dedicate some time!

(and obviously loads of smaller individual channels out there too).

The final sequence was great till you see the beer that Ted poured 😂nothing wrong with the shot just way to much foam 😂
Great video thanks for the content

You dont realise how helpful you are. I am a 17year old that has just became interested in photography and cinematography, and your videos always teach and show me so much! Helps me experiment and develop a better knowledge of camera and lights. Thankyou!

[fredgebhardt]

That cutting diffusion and putting it on the back trick.... so good!

[drmatthewhorkey]

Some super practical stuff here like putting the paper cut out behind the bottle to diffuse light

[ladyloove]

Please make more content like this, I learned so much from this. This kind of content is amazing. Thank You so much for bringing this useful content to us.

[RSpudieD]

Nice! That's pretty interesting and I would have never thought of the piece of paper on the back to make the bottle glow more! Good job!

[TulsaMotoClub]

Man I really enjoy your recent tutorial videos that you've been putting out. I like that they cover specific fields of our craft like shooting products, music videos, or a commercial. Would be cool to see a video on how to shoot vehicles with different budgets. Keep up the good work!

[nicoa.levicki]

Guys, you make it look so easy :D The trick with the diffusion on the back of the bottle is insane. Thanks for all the insights!

[OlympiaStudiosProduction]

Ahhh the paper behind the bottle trick!!! Wow, the things you learn 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[JunDBant]

Another fantastic video; educational and fun

[AmritaBhortake]

Love some of the tips you both gave in this video, especially the one with glycerin and the paper pasted on the back of the bottle. Fantastic! I am definitely going to try those out!

[TheSureShannonShow]

This was very educational. It gave me a better idea how to light a bottle. Plus the camera settings were a plus.

[MustangGT]

Love how you did the "cold" look with the water and glycerin! :-)

[LiveFireCulinary]

Holy smokes! Every video you release is a wealth of information, presented in the most engaging and fantastic way. This a HUGE help. Thank you!
