    THANK YOU for one of the most comprehensive BTS videos I've ever seen. Cameras, lenses, lighting and the reasoning for the gear, as well as a cost breakdown. Then there's the little details like how and why you hold the camera the way you do. So good. Thank you very much.

    thank you brother for your position on hiring professional actors. I am an actor. I love when the director knows at some point they have to hand it off to the actor. And when a director respects the acting craft as an equal to the craft of a director it is a recipe for a great shoot. Thank you man...for respecting our craft. THAT is a director that knows how to get an authentic moment. bravo brother

    Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.

      Couldn't agree more, succinct explanation of a real world project. And "Virtual Job Shadow" is much more aptly named and useful than "Tutorial." Many of which don't give real examples, or just do a "quick and dirty" example.

    Thanks for doing this video. I learned a few things I had no idea to look for. One is the the V shape, two is the catch light in the eye and three is the outline light to separate the subject from the background. Those three things will definitely improve my lighting and bring out a more professional aspect to my future videos. Again, thanks and keep up the good work.

    I watched the 4minute edit and it is absolutely PRISTINE in every possible category. Amazing and and compelling. Great work! My only shock is that you created all this and only charged $8,000. An edit like this would take me a solid week of work easily. How many days did you put into 1500$ worth of editing? I would have guessed this costed an easy $25,000??

      @@David-ud9ju yes, but he ate his equipment cost. $1500 day rate it great, but when you bring $20,000+ of gear and include that in your $1500 day rate, that is not good. Now if he used just the canon 1dx and a couple cheaper lights, then that's not terrible, but still, there should be a rental fee separate from your day rate. Like someone mentioned before, to rent what he used on the shoot would be almost $2000, so in reality, he lost money.

    Bro you are full of knowledge. Love the videos and this bts setup was dope. Huge fan of Westcott and love the quality of their lighting.
