    Upgrade! Thanks for this. Really helpful to know what all the different pieces are called, I wasn't certain how to find all of what I needed before without knowing the names!

    Shocked to hear that these types of videos do poorly. They're why I started following you in the first place; behind the scenes stuff for such a specifc niche is hard to come by.

    Upgrade! I stumbled on your channel looking for lens suggestions for board game content, since that's what our channel does lol, and if I had this video when I first started it would've saved me so many headaches trying to figure out as an amateur to all of this what to do!

    Upgrade! 🎉 Yes, thank you for doing these. Considering getting into some content creation myself, so this is helpful. Would maybe consider taking a class if you offered one, especially if you did what you said starting with a beginner affordable setup and then how you can upgrade from there. 😊

    I would love a beginner level class. Not sure I would get the equipment when starting so the info with the better gear might be lost on me. I guess it depends on who you want to target with he videos.

  • @JenCamPlaysBoardGames

    Upgrade! Thank you for this video!! I feel like it has been hard to find information on filming/streaming board games...any type of content on this topic would be very helpful. It may even help people who are starting out save money. I personally did trial and error and wasted a lot of time and money. I feel like my current stream setup is ok, but could be better if I had the right information for my needs in the beginning.

    @dmitrywigandt7702 Před rokem

    Thank you, Tim! Could you please make recommendations on the lighting setup specifically for this top-down shooting? I sometimes struggle with glare on shiny surfaces like sleeved cards, even when there is no direct lighting from above

    • @TimChuon
      @TimChuon  Před rokem

      ah that's a really tough one that could definitely be an entire video! I'd definitely recommend aputure's amaran lights (many of them put out great power for a cheaper price point), but I use the 120D. Ultimately, what's more important is how you diffuse your lights by using a light dome (aputure light dome 2 or mini 2) and or white paper! The table surface also plays a huge impact as well (glossy surfaces suck, felt/matted don't have glares) hope that helps!

      15-35 f2.8 (canon rf)! The 24 would work well too, but the 50 would likely be too much!

      Ahh that’s going to be cropped in a lot, but you could use that for close ups on one component! Check out the 24-105 or the 24-50 is a way more budget friendly option!
