    Being a cinematographer myself, i can definitely say that you must be the calmest person on set. Many DPs mostly lose their temper quite easily, there is a certain calmness to your personality. I also try my best to be the calmest one on set. Cheers from India

    Being a beginner filmmaker, I wud like to say thank you for your valuable tips that you share, it's taking me 2 1/2 years to build up from scratch on what I have now. 2 canon cameras, 80 & 90d, 3 different lenses, 2 light panels with one small LED light, 2 Tascam dr 10L's, a low budget laptop for editing, a boom stand with a rode mic along with a few more things I have managed to buy. My point is that being a writer, film maker and editor, it cost quite a bit, even when finding deals on equipment, your videos helps me out in a lot of ways. Thank you for the very helpful tips and ideas that you have, they are helping now and will be helping many more young filmmakers to come in the future.

    Another great video! I took some inspiration from you at a recent shoot of an interview in a small kitchen...I placed a silk in front of a 120d soft box for double diffusion, close to the subject, and hid a couple of MCs at 3200K as practicals in the kitchen to provide some depth & contrast and it worked a treat. Keep ‘em comin!

    Great video! Do you think you could do more videos in the future on lighting? I don't have a very large budget and was wondering if you could possibly do videos on lighting interiors (Day and night) as well as exteriors with cheaper lights. I am a beginner and I am just learning as I go along. Also what camera do you recommend for a beginner? I know you probably get asked that a lot. I am thinking about a Canon M50. I have heard good things about that. Thank you for any help you can give me.
