You are the man! So glad you mentioned glasses, been struggling with that. Glad you are back to creating too, hope wife is recovering well and you are getting your rest too!
Thanks so much Dennis. She’s well on the mend now. Yeah. Glasses have always been an issue for commercial shoots I’ve done and I’d always start with tilting them down slightly before doing anything else
@@VicBarry Glad to hear that about the wife. I just started with glasses a couple years ago, they are a PITA but I can't do contacts, so I fight the urge to push them up my nose constantly, the, glare, and just the overall nuisance of them. Getting old aint easy but it beats the alternative haha
@@VicBarry I knew when I was constantly getting nauseous. Like my vision isn't total crap, except close up, but further away its blurry enough that I was getting motion sickness walking through Walmart 🤣🤣🤣 Told the wife about it, she was like YOUR BLIND OLD MAN! Now I'm all! 🤓🤓🤓 Alright I will let you get back to your day! Have a great one!
Thanks a mil, Vic. Always super helpful. QQ: What would you suggest if I wanted to shoot a subject in a totally dark place, as though there was only a a single spotlight coming straight down, but still see their face front lit? make sense?
Hey 👋 cheers. Totally. You could position the light more or less above them and use a white bounce card in front of them so the light bounces off that and lights their face. Alternatively you could use two lights and a modifier just for their face. Depends on the look you’re going for ultimately
How do you get the background so dark? I use a llight with a softbox but the light drop off between the foreground (me) and the background is not enough to make the background dark (walls are fairly light in colour)
@@bigjimny hey Jim. Literally just the one light. It’s not a bright room but completely light controlled so for this video about one light , it’s pretty dark. Look at adjusting the brightness on the light as well but making the light “darker” and still have watchable video will depend on the camera and the lens as well.
Thanks for sharing Vic 😊
Great lessons.
Cheers :)
You are the best for real thanks !
