    4:32 is EXACTLY the look I want for my talking heat shots - love the colours of blue and purple together. Wow!
    Have been using a blue curtain for the moment whilst I grow my channel but want something more professional looking that I don’t have to worry about but I’m less than 3 foot away from the wall cause its a small room.
    The pop up looks like a great option too.
    Thank you so much for your advice. Your channel has helped me loads.

    A tip I often share on backdrops and cycs is; get some sheet vinyl kitchen or bathroom flooring at a blow-out sale price, off the end of a used roll, or a roll that's not selling well because it's ugly or an unpopular color. What's on the top doesn't matter, since we're using the flat "felt" bottom. I prime this with water-based latex KILZ primer and hang it by thru-bolting it between two 2x4's at one end. I let it hang free to form a natural curve at the floor and, boom; white cyc. It's heavy, not very portable, but durable as heck, washable, you can roll it up somewhat for storage, and, once primed, you can make it chroma green or gray and light it as Caleb does his papers and vinyls. The cost is very reasonable.

    @thebeatagp Před 6 lety +8

    Love this video! Hey where do I get that color changer thing? I have a white vinyl backdrop but didn’t know you could add those colors like that. Does the light have to be in the shot to get that color or no?

    • @benchang3908
      @benchang3908 Před 3 lety

      ideally you would put the light source behind you so it's not in the shot.

  • @jonphoto5078
    @jonphoto5078 Před 6 lety +1

    Loved it! Great! Grey was my personal fave. It's the most easily manipulable in color with lighting (or no lights to achieve black). I've also had issues with black backgrounds' wrinkles being the most obvious. I got some "Downy Wrinkle Releaser" (only useful for fabric), but haven't tried it yet.

    @Ranger7Studios Před 6 lety +5

    Awesome video! I've actually just switched to a gray muslin backdrop. I'm hitting the muslin with a Pergear 960 panel with a half blue CTB and setting my camera at 3200K. This is creating a really nice pop of deep blue. The only set back is that the cloth has to be steamed once in a while, so I may try a vinyl drop next. Also, I noticed that the RGB light you use is no longer being made. Are there and alternatives besides the Youngneo light wand or is that my best bet for popping color into my backgrounds?

    You can increase the colour saturation on the white background by turning down the light. Obviously it won’t give the same saturated look as the gray background, but you do get some control.

    I bought a white vinyl window shade at a home store on a whim around 4 months ago for video (won't talk about what I was using in my old videos... haha). Turned out it was good enough and lights similar to how you were describing in the beginning of the video. It has some markings/patterning from being thin/rolled up, but if enough light hits it I don't notice texture in the resulting video. Recently I was able to get more filming space and upgraded my window shade for $15 to get a wider one (now 55" w by 75" h). Though, larger ones than what I use jump up in price a lot. (Edit, I see your vinyl have the same wavy issue when not lit)

  • @godfatherNYC
    @godfatherNYC Před 5 lety +1

    Very professional video and great presentation.

No idea if they will ever go completely, so I will need to edit them out somehow.

I have a course and I interview guests, I want to film the complete picture (me and the guest) and in the post production make cuts only on me and the guest as if I had 3 cameras. To do this I imagine that recording should have a great quality and so I imagine it should be 4k, right? Which one do you think: lumix g7 or m50?

    Would have thought that you would cover and talk about green or blue bg for keying. Have had a portable one like that the last one you showed for almost 10 years - green on one side and blue on the other. Portable key is just as important as a static bg to me.

  • @ImaginetMedia
    @ImaginetMedia Před 6 lety +9

    Always store vinyl back drops vertically. This is key to avoiding flat spots that are caused by the weight of the roll upon its self. If you store them on horizontally (as Caleb is doing in this video), you will get waves in the roll that are impossible to remove.

I was considering 2 Aputure 300d all but that little panel you are using looks like if might do a better job as a flood solution. Anyway would love to hear back.
