    Wisdom - the stuff you get right after you needed it.
    I just finished a project (Virtual Choir 6 submission) in a bedroom with the overhead light, then two shadeless desk lamps in front of two pieces of white foamcore and a cheap-o RGB dance light, all propped up on flimsy cardboard boxes. All in all, the shadows on the wall were pretty terrible, and the video overall was super dark with the camera settings set to max on everything. Now that the video's all up, submitted, and done, I thought, "hey you know who would probably already have a good explanation of techniques and easier options for this mess?" Lo and behold, here I am!
    Next time, Mumbo. Next time.

  • @shadodragonette

    I have just learned more about lighting than I ever wanted to know, but I'm NOT sorry! Really, even my family pics or my dog pics will benefit from this education. I watched enough of Mumbo Docs to notice light and shadow before seeing this explanation, but this makes so much sense that I feel "duuuurrrrppp" (or "spoon", as Mumbo would say). Really, this was very simple, and I'm sure Mumbo and others could make it almost impossible to understand! However, this is almost easier than redstone! Thank you!

    Hi Mumbo Jumbo. I had a couple of questions. What type of computer would you recommend for doing HD or 4k video editing, and what type of software do you use for your video editing? Also, do you have a recommendation on a good HD or 4k video camera that won't break the bank? I have a blog channel ( the-unraveling-mind.com) that I will soon be launching a UA-cam channel for as well, and was looking for some insight. By the way, love watching your minecraft channel with the family. I am planning on launching 2 blogs this week... one on minecraft in general, and the second on top minecraft UA-cam channels to follow. Don't worry, you made the cut! Lol. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

    Try Carpet tape to stick your lights where you want. I don't know if in the UK it's called carpet tape so I will describe it. It's a double sided tape and the one you want has some fabric in the middle and should be super sticky.

    Quick question, would you get an 8K camera if you could afford it? Do you think its unnecessary with all those pixels and those massive video files?

    • @joshuachampion5973
      @joshuachampion5973 5 років тому

      I'm not Mumbo but I think I can help. 8K Is great to have if you can afford it but definitely not necessary if you're on a platform like UA-cam. Most content online (not movies or shows) isn't shot in 8K because there are very few people with 8K displays, it's not cheap, and it takes a beast of a machine to edit.
      But even if you're exporting your content in 4K shooting in 8K has plenty of benefits. Downscaling from 8K todo 4K can actually result in a sharper image because the original picture has more information. Also if you're exporting in 4K You can scale your footage in pistol up to 4 times original size without losing quality. This helps if you need a tighter shot than what you captured in camera or if you need to stabilize your footage in post.
      Shooting in 8K Also helps future-proof your content. If you want to rerelease a video in the future when 8K or higher becomes standard your content will already be up to date even though it has a little age on it.
      Sorry for the long answer but I hope this helps.
