The Plugin is called Crumple Pop Echo Remover AI ;)

THIS. theses are how breakdowns are supposed to be. i literally have no open questions about the shoot. excellenr work Damien!

I really love the details you went into. also, the way it didn't come across too techy but I still got the information I needed to be able to try it myself. really well done, can't wait to see more like this

Don't know if anybody's already said this, but tips from a sound mixer here... you can angle the mic toward the mouth for better clarity and higher S/N (signal to noise ratio). In this particular scenario where you don't have any wind to fight, you can also remove that foam windscreen to get the mic that much closer, again increasing your S/N and reducing how much work the reverb reduction plugin is doing. Use of sound absorbing blankets everywhere out of frame will also help dramatically change the amount of reverb captured. It sounded fine, by the way, just suggesting ways to improve it further!

Absolutely brilliant, stunning set up!

Fantastic Damien! Thank you!

I can't get over the colour grade of this video - it is the definition of "buttery smooth" Let's go DC!!

Insane. By far the best interview setting I've seen so far.

awesome video Damien. thanks for the dope content as always

Thanks for this detailed overview. Exterior window backgrounds have become my nemesis. Despite 4-5 stops of ND I just still have trouble getting the ratio of light between background and subject that I find pleasing. This was really helpful.

Everything about this video is excellent; instantly subscribed!

Amazing breakdown, thanks Damian!!

Bravo, great cinematic work and very sharp and concise comments, wonderful 👌👏👏👏

Thanks for this clear breakdown!

Awesome! Really interesting and very well made!

Great video！ Glad to see SYNCO D1 microphone in use of such a useful tutorial

Amazing breakdown bro!

Thank you for this!!!

Great Video!

Awesome man

Very interesting! The overall set up in the room is very effective and you explained it well. And it's also interesting to see how the dark-light-dark scheme is carried over from the interview to your youtube head shot.

This was awesome.

Informative ❤️😊

Looks really nice, great work

AWESOME!!!!

Enjoy your content great stuff

Looks great 👍🏻

Looks good!

Nice work

great job!

Really helpful 👍🏻

Keep going!

I watched the actual short film “Cutting Edge” after watching the behind the scene on how you shot the interview sequence, and it is a great documentary!!!

Great 👏

This looks STUNNING! Amazing breakdown. How do you handle multiple light temperatures when shooting with natural light, practicals, and your own lighting? Did you use a color meter or did you set all of your lighting to daylight to match the window? Thank you!

Bravo !!!!

Hi Damien, a really very instructive video that answers all my questions! Thank you so much! Looking forward to a next BTC video.

Actor gets emotional, cries. Camera crew, oh wait, haze machine needs to be restarted. 🤣

Great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great...I learnt some ideal. Thank you

Damn good, Damien!

Great breakdown dude! Love the earth tones of the shot 🤘🏻

The location is half the battle! Great video.

Damien, this was so good. Your decision to talk about every aspect of the interview setup is so appreciated. I'm curious about the double diffusion. How does moving that second diffusion layer further away affect the light ... and how did you settle on the two-foot gap we see here?

Such a good video. glad I found you channel - just subscribed. Curious, where was the interviewer positioned?

That 100mm Shot is Top Tier.

Hi, Damien nice job .

Great, well explained ....

Amazing job! I appreciate the behind the scenes. Keep it up!

Love this thank you! Quick question what AI too do you use for removing echo?

loved this break down part. I wanna see more on color profile and editing too. 😊

Looks great! For the wide, I think you could have given a touch more headroom but that's obviously subjective. Nice work!

Great breakdown! Did you use a light outside to get that nice light slash falling on the wall? Also, how do you keep the overall brightness of the room to not get too low and dramatic when you stop down? Thanks.

Love it thanks for the great video! Would love to know what the AI software you used for sound was!

excellent class! thank you very much! Where can I find lavalier microphone accessories?

love the setup. by the way which ai tool did u use for removing the room echo? thanks

Very nice breakdown and excellent video. But why these 90degree shots from the side?

Better late than never. Danke!

Klasse! Da isses endlich! Schönes Ding 👍🏻 freue mich auf dein Colorgrading Input. Das Deity interessiert mich.. werd ich mir auch mal zulegen. Wo gibts den Diffuser-Frame? Mag das große Mopet!

Enjoyed your video ! Very interesting. Thanks. I have an interview job coming up but only have one C70. I use some Fuji's for the other angles. 2 questions ..... Would you suggest I shoot in Log on all cameras, then colour grade? Fuji tend to be sharper and I am worried about getting a good overall look. The other question, and I dont think I can...... Shoot in log on Card A and Rec 709 on card B (as backup) with the C70. Petty sure it cant be done.

Thank you for sharing your amzing work... I do no seem to find which AI tool your are using to remove the room echo! Thanks

hmm interesting... the hazing hahahaah! worth it! :D

Loved this! Great video. Can I ask what AI you used for her voice to eliminate the echo?

Thanks for the full breakdown! Incredible work! Curious which speed boosters you are using with the C70? Seems like something that could make a huge impact on being able to expose everything properly and I have never used one. Can’t wait to see more!

haze interview! OMG! Hardcore!

I will totally buy your course. When is it ready and what's the AI audio too l you mentioned?

A year later?! Who cares? It's very helpful and valuable information! 😌 thanks for making it, I needed it

Bring on the questions for the full making of:

Gorgeous work! Thank you so much for this breakdown. What picture profile did you use on the cameras?

Hi Damien, very good breakdown! thanks for this video. What tool did you use to remove the echo in the audio?

Interview and course, 2 for 1 👍🏾

Awesome video! Did you shoot in clog 2 or 3 for this project?

I loved watching this. I have a few really small detail questions. (1) What are the clamps called that are holding the flag near the backlight @ 8:21 and the 5x6 diffusion frame @ 9:23? (2) What's the monitor on the stand called @ 3:35? What's the thinking behind why its on a stand and not on camera? (3) MAKE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS! THANK YOU

What AI editor did you use for the audio?

What haze machine did you use?

Which de-reverb are you using?

Wow, amazing interview video AND breakdown video. Thank you for putting this together! Quick question, for settings on your A cam, you have 6 stops of ND and then your iso set at 1250. Couldn't you have shed some of that ND and been able to drop your iso for cleaner image? Not that your image didn't look clean, is there some advantage to adding ND AND bumping iso?

Curious about which audio source you went with in the final edit? Great Video!

Brilliant tutorial and end result. It seemed like the lav mic had less echo, do you think that was the cause due to the boomed mic was aimed directly down towards the floor rather than at an angle towards a surface further away? Subscribed

What's the AI you use for the audio?

What was the AI software to clean up the audio? Cheers!

👍🏾🙏🏾

Great video! What is the AI tool used for removing the room echo?

Great video! Why did you use the .MP4 and not the XF-AVC? Thank you!

It looks like a shotgun on the boom, if so, not a mic best suited for interiors with poor acoustics. The mic is pointing straight down, is that best for maximum pickup? I know you also had a lav, so maybe the overhead was for safety? I much prefer a cardioid mic as opposed to a lav for all interiors. I also place a deep pile carpet under the chair for that little extra acoustic dampening.

Great video - thanks for putting this together and for being so thorough. Forgive me if you stated this and I missed it but what's the name of the ai software you allude to that you use to remove echos in your vocals? Thanks in advance!

Do you have a link for the lav mic attachment? :)

Come si chiama l'accessorio per mettere il lavalier sul reggiseno? Io alla fine ho usato l'attacco a ciondolo magnetico della Insta360

7:45 eh? no colour contrast there, they're the same tone; only colour contrast in there are the windows. really professional looking light btw, and i like the 50mm perspective

unless I missed it did you you shoot S-log or???

I love Damien Cooper

✌

Excellent video! Just gave you a follow 👍🏼 I would love to learn more about using haze for interviews. Does anyone know if you can set off a fire alarm with haze?

Really loved the breakdown . Was 50mm perfect for that room Most of the rooms are a bit smaller do you think sigma 35 1.4 would have done as good as 50 did ?

Mic support link?

Hi Damien, thanks for the insides. What Ai Tool against Echo you use?

I agree with David Minard's comments about mic and room treatments. Saves a lot of time in post, and bad audio still doesn't sound right if the audio is reverberating on the shoot. I'd say it's better to get the audio right in the can in the first place, or think twice about shooting in the venue or doing something to fix this issue before you shoot. So much bad audio out there it's astonishing that some people still relegate this to an incidental afterthought or accept compromises justified by "fix it in post." I would add that perhaps a proper dialog mic like a small diaphragm condenser hyper-cardiod might have been a better choice than a shotgun indoors because a true shotgun has a rear node that picks up the reverb from the ceiling. Check the polar pattern of your shotguns to confirm this characteristic. I use an Audio Technica AT4053B on a boom pole for my interviews Zoom meetings, and it sounds fantastic. Worth every bit of the current $700 price. You've got a lot invested in the cameras, which most shooters do, but leave the audio to budget-oriented decisions. I would have done just the opposite. For interviews, I'd budget more for the audio than the video, although the picture looks gorgeous, especially with soft FX filters and the soft lighting, but i'd emphasize audio in the budget mix for gear so have pristine audio for unmatched intelligibility. After all, the bulk of the information in a video interview is imparted by dialog, so isn't the clarity of the audio actually more important the video? Many sound pros do not use a shotgun indoors at all because of this reverb issue coming from the rear node. I also agree with many of the comments that your video is one of the best at breaking down how and why you shoot your interviews. I'm just picking at the few points i thought might use some improvement to take your work to the next level. I hope this was helpful and taken as constructive as it is intended.

whats is the echo removal you used in your film , thanks

Great video, Damien! I am a budding doc filmmaker and was very interested in this breakdown. Can you put me on a list for your course? Any more information available about that??

Are they CLog LUTs or creative look LUTs? Great vid. Very pleasing and earthy.
