This is one of the mossssst detailed videos on a setup on a real-world project I've ever seen. I love your workflow and covering everything. Every time I watch your videos and process, I learn something new. I'm sure there are a lot of people watching this video who don't have access to a mentor (or don't live near NYC/Hollywood) who are learning so much from this. This is hugely valuable education. Thank you for sharing!
Quality! So much work to do for one person, making it harder to maintain the quality 👍
Happy to have met you and have gotten your channel details! I'm all in on Aputure lights myself and one day want to get a 600 series or a 1200 series. Having had clients that want to have the scene out the window it's a lot tougher only using a 200x!
🔥
Wow, only 30 minutes to set up is really tight. You handled it well and the results work. Don’t let clients see this or we will all be limited to only 30 minutes!!!
I also rely on false color for lighting. The results don’t lie, and minimizes the challenge of working with an uncalibrated monitor.
Awesome job! Expose for background & false color, love that. Something that’s easy to overlook
Nice work man!
Loved the the setup sped up section and another great how to vlog.
I’m a simple man. I see PD. I click 🫡
Love the setup! Awesome seeing the full thought process when going into these shoots.
Superb, as always. Great to see how you transformed a fairly unpromising location into something really pleasing in the final shots.
At this point it’s rare for me to have more than 30 minutes to set up an interview. Great work!
Really nice and quick OMB work! The BTS time lapse w/narrative and false color breakdown was very informative.
I always carry an Aputure Accent B7c LED RGBWW Light for use in practical lights. You can dial in the color temp and dim through Sidus app. Ask Aputure to send you a full kit ;)
I also always run time code out to second camera for fast sync/multi-cam creation in post… BNC TC out/in is one of the great advantages of those cameras.
As others have commented: the ballast can counterweight the softbox weight if you place on opposite sides on stand.
You are creating great teaching tools with these videos. All the best!
As always great video. Thank you for sharing.
Cool video. Like how you added the time-code at the bottom to track ur setup time.
Did you try to attach the head light to the heavy softbox on the ground and lift them together and put them on the stand !
Great video as always
I like your 'short lighting' setup combined with wraparound and soft light.
I rarely get 30min to setup an indoor shot with 2 cams. I therefore go with LAVs and two battery powered LED panel for light.
Sometimes it feels a bit like a driveby shooting.
30 mins is bare minimum for something like this. Nice job
Amazing results for 30 min hehe ... I'm impressed. Great, great work!!!
I love seeing the output vs that strong day light. Here I was plotting on getting a 300 but it seems a 600 is more for what I would need to record similar interviews. thank you for this
the LD 150 seems like a great option for quick setup and tighter spaces where a book light won't fit. You don't have links to your combo stands. Both the 150 and some combo stands will be my next purchase.
When I grow up hope I’ll be like you (just joking, I’m older, but certainly not this fast) in maintaining the quality even in this tight schedule! I think one of the most difficult things for me is achieving balance within my perfectionism and effectiveness
Your breakdowns are top tier! I found you at VLOG21, and watched everything back all the way to 001 :D My top 3 episodes: VLOG 20, 55, 57!
Dude - you’re the man!
Very nice man... Your BTS are great.
Man, I sure hope you got a B7C kit out of that sponsorship deal, could have helped with that pesky little practical lamp. 😁 Jokes aside, for the amount of time you had I don't think there's anything to improve upon. Good work bud!
Awesome video man! Thank you for making these videos always learning something from you. Images look amazing. I just did a gig and my setup time was roughly about the same, 30 mins. Definitely little room for error, but if you come prepared, it's tight time at worse. There have been shoots where i didn't come prepared had the same or less time to setup and it didn't go nearly as smooth.
Great content,, like always
I woulda put the cable on the other side of the chair. My OCD was making me nuts watching everyone walk on it. Quick work.
Super breakdown! As per your usual! Can you speak to your temps in camera due to the practical light in the background?
Great video.
That’s it. I’m going minimal my next shoot. 😂
You're rushing, something may get missed and you end up blowing the audio since you're not an audio guy by trade.... this is where 32bit float makes the most sense for me. For solo operators and people who often find themselves in this scenario where you have to do a million things in a short amount of time or you don't have a dedicated sound guy.
I use the FX6 so often that it does not come into play. The FX6 allows a safety track, so clipping would take a lot.
I agree it is a lot for one person, but I got it done.
Can you explain why you expose for background first, and then subject? What does that achieve?
I can’t change the background lighting. I have control over the key light.
I really enjoy the detail and work on your videos. I'm curious, how many stops of ND did you use. I am particularly interested as you said you went full open on the 600x. Thanks so much!
a back light and neg on the left would make this perfect. gotta consider the sun
More stands
More time
More kit
subject definitely needed some shoulder separation but not much you can do because of that honking big chair
You mentioned briefly the client's small budget. Would you mind sharing the ball park figure they quoted you? Assuming a full day rate at $1500, a second hand helper at $50 an hour would be $400 for their work for the day. This would net you $1100 for an hour of work outside of the travel time.
Nice! One question, I am a little surprised you had to take off the honey comb grid at 100%. I was under the impression that the Aperture 600x put out more than sufficient light. Do you think it would have helped to bring in the light a little closer to the subject?
Closer would block the interviewer and then moving it to the right would reduce wrap. Tough with a huge softbox like this.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! In your experience, what helps you decide whether to go with a booklight or light dome?
New to your channel but love your knowledge unless it is covered in another video I have not made it to yet, what cases are you using for fx6 to transport fully rigged. I have a ursa mini and switched from a pelican to a gym bag.
Great video! I have a question, if you hit the orange in false color you gonna lost the highlights or not? Thank!
Nice you got Aputure sponsorship. Well deserverd.
What ISO value for Slog3.Cine? And what ND setting if any?
Do you have any audio issues running a shotgun gun mic for interiors, especially with hard floors? Also, any recommendations for an external monitor with good peaking for the FX6? Next time you’re up in the Lubbock area, you’ve got an open invitation for lunch.
What LUT did you say you’re using as your base LUT for the FX6? Why that LUT?
Nice natural look . Would be ruined with any fill / bounce or hair light .
Dont run your only cable in frt of talent run it behind the chair SAFETY FIRST Now this director will expect all of to run around like a monkey . Dont ruined
it for all of us
Thank you for the feedback!
I am from Kerala, India and I am a Cameraman. Here I am working on short films, documentaries and ads. I am working with Panasonic Lumix S5 Mark ii x so if you give work I would like to do that within India and sell to you at a rate.
600 ballast and dirt bag on the same side as 150 dome. Thats imbalanced, one small bump from behind and that gonna crash.
180 degrees around the stand would been better.
80% of filming is moving furniture ..
You don't have to move the furniture just fix it in post. ;-) lol
@@thefluentone ah yes ,that's why they use look up tables !
