Very good. I have one small subjective note: I would try not to cut to B-roll during the slider's reverse move. Try keeping it moving in the same direction if you can. When we see it cushion and then change direction, we can become aware of the camera.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that three camera set up breaks the 180 degree rule. You want your B and C cameras to be on one side of the A camera. Not on the left and the right.
The setup he shows does not break the 180 degree rule and is the correct way to set up three cameras. To break the 180 degree rule, you have to position a camera on the other side of the 180 degree line, which puts the person on the opposite side of the frame for that camera angle. In other words, if you follow the 180 degree rule, the guy on the left is on the left in all camera angles, as he is in this interview. If you break the 180 degree rule, you’ve positioned a camera so that the guy on the left is now on the right for that particular camera because the camera has crossed the 180 degree line. If you diagram the three camera setup that you describe, you’ll see that it doesn’t provide full coverage.
it doesn't break the 180º rule but still the two lateral cameras are probably too separate, it's really the front camera and two cameras at 90º on both sides (which would be exactly on the 180º line, although it doesn't go beyond). That angle is probably too wide for the editing to feel smooth when changing cameras
@@morrisonAV If you look at the footage you will see that it does not break the 180 degree rule. The way you you can tell is if the people change sides in the frame. The 2 people in the scene always stay on the same side in all camera angles. The main shot establishes them on the right and left of the frame. The man with the gray hair is on the left of all three cameras. The man with short hair is always on the right in all three frames. The main shot is done in 4K so you could punch in slightly to tighten the frame if you wanted. If I had set the cameras past 180 degrees on each side the people would have changed sides and then it's a problem. the 180 degrees is in a straight line parallel to the camera. When you cross the parallel line to the camera you have broken the 180 degree rule. It's easy to see if you have broken the rule or not because the people will change sides in the frame. They may be closer to the middle but will always be on the right or left side and will not change sides. I hope that helped.
I didn't realize you did video too J.P. This video is packed with so much value! The filming techniques and the interview techniques, you captured a great interview and footage. So inspiring. Thank you for your great channel!
When I first saw the processing machine I thought you were at Amada America. Amada hauled one of their metal processing machines, about that same size, out to King of the Hammers the last couple of years. Interesting to see something that big set up out in the middle of the desert!
Wow, I just received a Godox lite and softbox similar to that Aputure. I also have a similar setup of the sliders. I have the sliderplus long, but with two headones and tilt kit. I also have the sliderone v2. This video really came in handy in regards to the setup. I have an interview this weekend to practice this.

Avidcomp great point! Thank you for bringing this up!

You are right, Mike. Drives me crazy to see that rule broken.

Lenzy Ruffin thank you for the clarification, Lenzy!

"That rim light is going to rim this person" "It's rimming his partners head from behind" 😂
was thinking someone HAD to comment this ;)

You are very welcome. Thanks for your comment!

Very informative. I added this one to my Favorites.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment!
Great tutorial as always. Your list of bullet points at the end is perfect!
The World of Pierre thank you so much! :)

Great share and I love your thoughts on letting people ramble.
Thanks so much Joe! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Super cool but super expensive
This was very informative and useful. Thanks and many thanks again.
Leroy Moore thank you Leroy!
excellent tutorial - as always - thank you so much!
mercurius6699 thank you for watching and commenting! :)
Have you noticed any shakiness in the sliderone v2? Been seeing some videos suggesting that the movement can be jagged.
What type of cases do you use to transport your edelkrone equipment? I see a long vertical case at the 4:42 mark. What case is that?
... what a great commercial. 😂😂😂
Hope you learned some good stuff!
good tutorial except mixing the shotgun and the lav sounds crap.
Thanks for watching and keep on clickin!
OY3AH!
bad angles, lens focal lens doesn't match, in one shot the background is sharp, in the next one is blurred
your interview is full of jump cuts
Good points. Thanks for watching!
