Can you relate to jobs with little time and little equipment?

Really I think as long as you have a panel light with diffusion as a key light, everything else is bonus. Or using natural light as the key and that panel light as a rim light. Panel lights are the best economy option that doesn't take forever to setup

I appreciate Damien's professional, methodical approach to providing BTS insights without overhyping himself, peddling/shilling a new product every video, or churning out rudimentary/basic content (hoping more content-even if it's poor-will add subs to the channel). This is one of the best film channels out there-just solid content from someone who knows what the he's doing on set. Your work is appreciated! PS-I love videos like this: they offer ideas on how to get the most out of less-than-ideal conditions. This is often what small crews and one-person bands deal with on every shoot.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, as others have commented , your presentation is very thorough and precise in describing what is actually happening in the setup.

Thank you for posting this video with all this information. This video was extremely insightful. In regards to creating new content, this would be more along the lines of the gear that I would be capable of bringing along. This definitely gives me hope that, I can pull this off with the limited gear I own. Keep the videos coming!!!!

What do you mean by dont go too “top heavy”? Not directly above her head?

@basebintv Жыл бұрын

Great look! How did you not create a shadow behind her from your key light? Considering how close you were to the background… I’m curious to how you achieved this.

@hugocalvovisuals Жыл бұрын

Since the lighting was setup from above and diffused well, it shouldn't cast a shadow on the wall. It may cast as slight shadow on the couch or floor but even then you wouldn't see it because of roll off or because of the focal length used by Mr. Cooper.

@KhuramMalikme Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this. Your tutorials are lit. Question, do you ever worry that the sunlight could change rapidly all of a sudden and then completely mess up your exposure mid production? I have a limited space setup starting next week with sash windows I could use sunlight from as a rimlight in the same way but some times the change in lighting temperature can change very rapidly and it's very unpredictable. The challenges of British Weather you see.

@damiencooper Жыл бұрын

Funny that you ask. If you pay attention to my talking head setup, the sun light coming in from the left drastically changed throughout the recording of the video and the white balance changed by at least 2K Kelvin at one point. But one doesn't notice because of the b-roll in between. With interviews it's pretty much the same. If I had to light a film or a bigger "more important" interview I would need to have full control over every aspect of the lighting. But that requires more budget. You get what you pay for and I will try to make the best out of the situation I'm in

Why did you shoot with the blackmagic? At that time you already had the c70, right? Some words about that? 😊

@damiencooper Жыл бұрын

oh right.. my timeline seems a bit off. This was in early 2020. So I didn't have the C70 yet. I didn't even have the C300III yet. The Blackmagic was the only camera I had at the time

@KhuramMalikme Жыл бұрын

Do you set your white balance to auto or do you set it to the same temp as your key light? I apologise if you covered this in the video and I missed it. Thank you once again for these great tutorials however

If you have the time, don't use auto white balance, is very important for non RAW videos

Build quality. The cable attachment broke and I read a lot of people had the same issues. It also doesn’t fold down as small as my Intellytech for example. I would definitely prefer build quality and small footprint over water proof
