Thanks! More umbrella based jokes where that came from. 😉

🫣 😉 🫡

Thanks friend! Happy to see you 'round these parts!

I'll be honest. It took me a solid minute to unpack that one 🤦‍♂️... Very happy I did tho 🥲. Thanks for the encouragement and I'm glad to see you here!

I did do a tour in film school before I was academically dismissed...

Sorry I don't know anything about Capcut. I use Premiere for work. Zee used Davinci for his channel, it's more complicated, but it does have more control and there is a a free version . That said, I did watch the one video on your channel. I really don't think you need to worry about skin smoothing. You seem to do a great job with your makeup/skincare as it is. I'll go out on a limb here, and just say that I can get pretty self-conscious about how I look. There are some things I know I can work on, and seeing myself on camera is a potential barometer of that. There are other things I've just got over/used to. I used to be pretty frustrated by a tumor on my neck. No one cares (once they realize it's not hurting me, that is). I've kept uploading and learned to just see was everyone else sees. My wife works through this all the time, and she is on camera way more than me (and also a woman!). www.youtube.com/@LaShondaMBrown There are so so many little things you might/will learn that can/will help. But the easiest/fastest/only way to learn them is to keep pushing though, and making sub-optimal or imperfect content. So please just keep going!

Oh boy! Did I lose you at "More Woe?"

@@pumperjonesproductions nay, I stay'd for the whole 13 minutes traffic of your stage.

@@FlorisGerber Thanks bud! Hope it did something for you.

@@pumperjonesproductions It did. I have some very old school theatrical lightstands, built for eternity and then some. They are stupidly heavy. I was very much eyeing that neewer stand anyway, as well as that manfrotto stackable one. Your review gave me a lot of interesting information, in a fun way. If I had not subscribed before, I would for sure have subscribed at "both alike".

I felt the poetry right through my tetanus vaccine. Also Zacuto actually mailed me my broken microboom stuff, so I'll give you a call tomorrow to set up a date.

@@pumperjonesproductions I'm down!

Thanks! Its a Glow EZ Lock Wing-Like Parabolic Fiberglass Umbrella (45") Link: amzn.to/4fUsw0X I have a project in the background where I am trying to covert these into decent flag alternatives.

😮‍💨Yeah, I vaguely remember discussion when RED camera was still newish about oversampling being a positive thing due to debayering, ect. I've never heard of the math you are using tho, so I was just wildly guessing. If you don't mind me asking... What technique are you using to actually estimate the color rez? Feel free to make a new comment, and I'll pin that. That would be very helpful. Thank you.

You butt-flatter me, sir.

Thanks. 100(ish)% science. Tight controls.

Oh yeah, thanks... Can I get a DNA test, tho?

Thanks! There are several videos in the pipeline, so you'll have some new content soon!

It is a Hexolux. It's a pretty old light as far as LEDs go. The color is better on newer gen lights. You just want something with an umbrella mount realtively close to the COB. I don't recommend the Hexolux new unless you need the tilt shift feature (I have a video in the pipeline about that). www.adorama.com/vsh7dr.html

It is a Visionsmith Hexolux. It's a pretty old light as far as LEDs go. The color is better on newer gen lights. You just want something with an umbrella mount relatively close to the COB. I don't recommend the Hexolux new unless you need the tilt shift feature. I had replied to this over a month ago when you asked, but I linked to sale page Adorama, so I think the reply got quarantined. My bad, still hope it helps!

Nice! Seems most cages these days have gone for the integrated plate design. Glad it worked out for you!

That's great! I'm not sure if you able to post a link in the comments, but please feel free to drop a model number if it worked well for you.

Thanks, hope it helps!

Thanks for the feedback. Nice to see you around! It's diffusing the scatter of light through the skin vs at the light source or just hiding certain rays from the sensor in case of the CPL. So I think it's more of an addition or an extra point of control rather than something I feel I could head-to-head compare. For example, I find it helpful on noses, even if the light is already very "soft" or the source side. It, at the end of the day is doing the job of decent makeup. Just really universal, easy to use, clear makeup. I really recommend picking up a tube and trying yourself! I'll defiantly use all those tools going forward for my talking heads.

Thanks, bruv! (or whatever the equivalent is over in Ozzieland)

thanks, bud!

Yeah, I found the angle that kept it out prior to this shoot. Fortunately, it has markers on the angle rotation piece, so I was able to get repeatable results. As far as I can tell it's only getting into the shot as much as the operator allows (ex my "vlog walking shot"). If it's in the frame - adjust slightly, and lock it down. That said, I wouldn't use it for anything action heavy. Walking was about as far as I'd like to push it on camera.

Umbrellas are pretty clutch and cheap. I use a white bounce umbrella on almost every shoot. I mostly use the spill control of soft boxes for talking heads.

I do emotionally feel that the deep umbrella give me a little more directional control vs shallower types. That said, your comment gave me an idea for rigging a grid up to an umbrella! Then umbrella gang will be undefeated! Thank you!

Same here. That double female 3.5mm adapter lives on the microboom, currently. I daily drive the VideoMic Pro. They seem to have designed the cabling with something like the VideoMicro II in mind. That said it can handle a lot more weight than that. Frankly, this would be a great mount for the VideoMic NTG.

You flatter me!

So Asustor ADM can do raid 5 as well as 6, but I did raid 6 cuz it's my first NAS and I'm scared. I also bought remanufactured drives, they've worked great so far, but I had no idea what my failures would be like. That said, the speeds are good once they spin up. Spin up time seems to be the main (no the only, but main) disadvantage vs ssds for editing over the asustor.

Data is tricky like that. Spooky Dookie.

Thanks!

Sure! Thanks for making it. Hope it works out (as a product) as well for you, as it has for me!

Thanks for the sub! I used my chemistry set to make a new video!

Thanks for letting us all know! Comments are so helpful to get the blood flowing to the channel in these early days, even if numbers don't reach a climax.

So I didn't know about collapsible umbrellas until this comment. 😅 Anyway, I paused production on the follow up video to test it out. It is definitely worth discussing and will be featured in the B-roll light workflow video! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip. I bought and reviewed the umbrella here! ua-cam.com/video/zaIQzDOYmc8/v-deo.htmlsi=wn2Xiv3-COubOUOD&t=810

My sweet baby boy! 🥹 Thank you for the encouragement in these early days! It means a lot. I got a new video for you tomorrow! Please feel free to leave constructive criticism as well. (I'm doing this in part to keep learning.)
