Just stumbled on your video and I immediately subscribed. Content is SUPER helpful. I’m renting an Aputure light for a test shoot and I’m watching every step of what you do. Thank you for including the longer version, very helpful to see and hear your thoughts/process 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Probably it's me not being smart enough... couldn't find any link to the longer version ! 😌 What am I doing wrong ? Any help appreciated folks, thank you all. ✋️😊
Great demo! Tips I enjoyed: Oil removing wipe Demoing with where the subject is looking, not necessarily straight onto the camera. Knowing how long it took to set up. Thanks again!
Love that you left in the client interaction...made me instantly feel like I was back on set. I immediately locked in with you lolol. And I like the replay with False Color. Excellent touch. You're killing it man!
I really appreciate all of your detail as it helps me understand the lighting rationale. I also love watching your set up routine and how logical it seems, yet not obvious when you’re first learning. Great job with your videos.
It's so helpful to see exactly how other people ard doing these - keep it up! I just did three days of on a commercial job at two different locations and trying to divide up my gear between the two places was a nightmare. It's finally time to build my own production cart. Thanks PD!
Bloody brilliant video, mate. You've convinced me to buy the 600X that i've been researching these past 2 days. I suffer many colour temp conflicts in the locations of my corporates and that bi-colour, combined with that light metre app i have to definitely look into, will make life easier for me. You've also reminded me to increase my setup time. I never give myself enough ! Fantastic tip on starting the tripod high, too. Love it.
Good video. I always show for these early too. Mainly because the client sometimes forgets to build the setup time into the call time. But I also don't like to feel rushed. Nice room you got to shoot in. They always put me in conference rooms, which are terrible because it makes it hard to get any depth in the frame.
This is for sure a top tier conference/board room. I hate the tiny rooms with giant tables in them. I know I will encounter issues in office buildings, so I always leave wiggle room. You always get the best results when not rushed. Thanks for watching!
Always show up early for corporate for sure!! Security slows you up with so many unnecessary questions like "are you supposed to be here today?" when you've got like three carts of equipment and a team of people with matching shirts lol
They know me by name and still give me crap, but thats what the clients pay for. I always tell the client that I need 1hr to get into their space from parking and pushing in. But there are new folks that don't understand this, so I had to share. The funny times are when clients say you should push in through the lobby, I crack up at that.
Great point about being early. I've been "here" since 1996 og if there is one thing that you can count on, is that something will almost ALWAYS take longer than expected - even if you're using great equipment and have years of experience. It can be as simple as when you show up, the client goes "oh, you have to park around 5 minutes from here" and we have to go back and forth between the car and the location to get the gear ready. Suddenly, we spent the first 30 minutes even unpacking. Larger corporations are also typically a bit more spicy when it comes to letting you in and I can't count the number of times I've been held up in the reception for 15-20 minutes just to get access / a badge etc. When doing live streaming, you can almost for sure count on having to spend extra time getting online - I always make sure MY client handles this before I show up but still, it's almost 50/50 chance of them just thinking "well, I'm online so I don't have to check!" and then the IT guys go "You're not getting access to our network - we need to know about this 2 weeks before" bla bla bla.
It's very simple and clearly explaining. Many thanks... I have an Amaran 300C and two 100d lamp... i think i will probe this lighting setup.. :) Best regards from Hungary!
Great setup as always, Piotr! One thing I wonder is if the space would have lended itself to more depth in the shot - I know it looks rather busy, but sometimes a board room could emphasize the importance of the subject, like a CEO. Personally I try to play with the space I'm in, so it won't be another shot that could've come from just anywhere, you know?
This was a direct to camera internal video. It was not anything exciting or news breaking. We have shot this room dozens of times, so I try to change it up for them. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Great stuff Peter. Love the long form stuff. How accurate is that light Meter? Not seen this one before? And it clearly measures colour Kelvins too!!!! Really? Keep up the great work.
Hello mate. What kind of light stand are you using. I'm tired of dragging on film set my 2 heavy c-stands. Yours setup looks so cool. I'm curious what brand is the light stand + mounts + boom and the clamp for lightsaber. Cheers ;)
I use matthews and avenger light stands. You can see in detail in my last video posted. Vlog 55 watch and you will see a link to a longer edit where all the detail is.
@@PDMokry I seen there’s quite a few light apps. Have you used any of the others? It would be cool to see a vid on why you picked this one vs others when this is all you have to work with.
Once again you are demostrating how to be a working DP, Gaffer, etc in real world settings. Your channel is one of the best! Please keep producing these great videos.
I feel like it's easier to dramatic light shaping and etc., it's the subtle shaping and manipulating that you do here which requires more skill and finesse. Also what's the light meter app called?
Boy would it be nice to make everything cinematic feeling, but that does not fly in corporate. Thank you for the support! apps.apple.com/us/app/pocket-light-meter/id381698089
I love how in-depth you went with this! Really showing the importance of slowing down and making sure everything is locked in before pressing record. I also need to add those oil wipes to my kit.
So helpful and reassuring that I’m mostly doing things right myself! Question: I have mostly Daylight balanced lights, how would you suggest balancing these in a mixed lighting environment like this? I tend to find a happy medium between them all
Just getting into this myself from the stills side. Curious to learn if you and others arrived with your camera already built up and ready to go or do you build it on site? Still side I always built my camera on site, but I'm finding, for me anyway, that building out my r5c takes a LOT longer.
@@PDMokry I use the little Ninja V. It looks like the 11.04 update covers Ninja Ultra, Ninja, Ninja V, Ninja V+, Ninja CAST, Ninja V Pro Kit, Ninja V+ Pro Kit, Ninja Inferno, Ninja Flame. Don't see Shogun on there.
Great video man! I'm looking to try to break into this corporate style of video work and you give such helpful information in this type of scenario. I will be checking out the long version for sure!
I started providing the same oil wipes to my clients over the past year, and I was surprised at the positive response. Not only was it helping the onscreen result, but I have received MANY "thank yous" and "what a nice touch, that was very thoughtful". It makes the client feel valued, even at such a low price point for the wipes.
Most people know they get oily or find out fast when they use them. They know you care when you offer them up, because we want them to look their best. You are right, they are so cheap to have in the kit.
Who clicked on the longer version? Should I release longer versions like this in the future?
Please. I just watched, liked and commented. Great content!

How accurate is that light Meter? Not seen this one before?
And it clearly measures colour Kelvins too!!!! Really?
Keep up the great work.
Glad you like the content! I feel it gets you close, but for matching if it is off, it is off equally on all readings.

Looks great 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Would love you man on my documentary film shoots. Your lighting looks great! :)
Feel free to reach out! Thanks for the kind words!
@@PDMokry The problem is I live in UK! Wicked lighting!
For your atomos lut false color, how is this being recorded and added to the video? is it all done in editing or how does that work?
Dope! I can’t figure out which light meter app that is. There are so many!
You can you Sidus Link App
awesome vid !! very informative my friend , instant subscribe

excellent video and very well explained. Could I ask you the name of the app that you use to sync up all the lights? thank you!
Thanks so much! It is the Sidus link app.
Nice trolley/cart! (It’s the small things) 😅
What brand is it??
More important question, what cart are you using?
What is that cart you have?
what kind of cart do you use? I'm in the market for one.
I can share a link to the one I have.
I dont find the app what is the exact name of it ?
Can you share me link of light meter apps. Thx

Hey @PDMokry Great stuff! Where did you get that False Color Lut? Or are you screen recording?
I can’t seem to remember, it might have been from another UA-camr that made it. It is not a recording.

"receding hairline" I feel you brother, me too 😂😂😂
Really excellent tutorial, I really like how you show how each light plays a part, so neat that you can dial it all in with the app.
I appreciate your viewership! The app is great when trying to dial in a look.
Great video. I found this very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Freddie!
man you are meetering wrong the tube light. You need to be on camera point to meter correctly. Remember the inverse square law
Using it as a color meter, not light meter.
Dope work as always bro
Much appreciated!
Love your videos!
Greetings from Uruguay!
All the way from Uruguay! Thank you for being a supporter for so long!
