Hey Austin, I loved that tutorial! Keep up the good work.

[Folding the big reflector] "You cannot imagine how proud I am. I've gone so far in my career". ROLFMAO!!! Haha, that was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh (and the insights), Austin!

This is great to see the use of scrims! I typically shoot interviews indoors but I might be doing my 1st outdoor interview on a marine vessel in a few days which might be outside somewhere on the vessel. I do plan to bring my Apature 600d and softbox just because but now I’m thinking of grabbing that impact scrim! I have the neewer one but agree it’s too small when I have a wide and tight shot. But thanks for really going in depth on these outdoor interview videos!

I have battled those large collapsable reflectors/skrims for many sweaty minutes. Thanks!!!

Been working on documentaries for ultra-mountain running (with vegan runners/events) for 6 years now and I still have so much to learn. Your past couple of videos have been an incredible insight and hopefully my next couple of documentaries can go up a notch, really appreciate you sharing this!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It would be great if you could share how you mic up your subjects when using lav-mics in a run and gun situation. How you avoid cable noise or rubbing noise for example. Thanks again, Johannes

thank you for sharing your knowledge of shooting in the field. your first video has already been very useful to me. i'm very fond of skills that make it easy to get great results. especially those that save weight and money.

Thanks for the video, neighbor (I live across the Richmond - San Rafael Bridge over in Marin County). I picked up a couple of C Stands a few months back, and then realized that they are WAY too heavy to be lugging around WITHOUT an equipment cart. So I do use a couple of medium-duty spreader stands (one by impact, one by matthews) that I bought used for about $35 each. They both weigh about 7-pounds each (as opposed to the Kupo C-Stands, which are about 22-pounds each with the grip arm) and they are both rated for about 20-pounds capacity. Those spreader stands fit nicely in my "light stand bag," which is actually a Caddy Daddy golf club bag with wheels. The Caddy Daddy works well enough, but then strangers see me with it and want to start talking golf with me... and I don't do golf :( I do suggest that people buy at least ONE C-Stand with a Rocky Mountain Leg though, and just keep it in the car, just in case. I love spreader stands, but having a decent C-Stand will be really helpful if you need to set up a stand on uneven ground )amd they are great for holding five-in-one reflectors). I would just suggest if one DOES buy a C-stand, that they should get a used one from Matthews / Kupo / Avenger that to get a new c-stand from neewer or impact. Should be more dependable in the long term, and the cost is about the same as a new one from a Chinese manufacturer.

I appreciate you sharing your skills, and your sister-in-law seems lovely :)

Just what I needed for next weeks shoot:-) thx!

& the joys of chasing the moving shadows..

Thank you very much!

That big 5 in 1 is my mortal enemy. I have to watch a tutorial every time I break it down lol. Have you tried cove lighting outdoors with just the sun?

Im honestly a fan of the collapsible 5 in 1 reflectors, until the inevitable gust of wind smacks somebody in the face with it or tries to transplant the person holding it into the ionosphere lmao

Merci !
