    What do you think? Was one light enough?

      Yeah... it looks natural and not lit.

      Definitely in this case Damien, it looks great.

    The tip that you shared about exposing for the background light before adding any other lights is extremely helpful and makes so much sense!

    You are one of the few on UA-cam who is really professional, i can see what you do, not just review cameras without professional work, all the rest are just testers...comparing old cameras with new one, and trying to sell us, subscribers cameras that are with big flaws, like zv-e1

    This is one of the best, most informative UA-cam videos I’ve seen on just about any topic. It’s like a masterclass in under 10 minutes. Thanks for this.

    This is gold. After watching the full commercial I can see how well this all comes together.
    Your channel is defiantly my new favorite. As a native English speaker learning German, I would love to see some of your videos in German as well. So good.
    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Great breakdown, thanks so much for sharing this. It's super helpful and you can learn from it a lot.
    The final ad is amazing. The vibe is so friendly and light, absolutely perfect for beauty treatments! The client/testimonial is the best pick ever for this. With her experience in front of the camera this was probably a walk in the park for her. She just vibrates being comfortable that that's so important for that service. I'm in awe!

    I would love to see a video about white balance in a professional way that explains every little detail in every location and how can we set a custom WB in even hard conditions
    Thanks for the great work 💙👏🏻

    Another great one. I'm envious of your ability to get great looks from simple setups. That's experience, I guess. I noticed you shot beneath the eyeline. Was that so you could include more of the overhead lights in your background?

    • @damiencooper
      @damiencooper  Рік тому +1

      thanks a lot. I love shooting from below the eyeline. It's a personal preference and makes the subject look more confident and competent.

    @damiencooper I love this video! I currently have a elgato key light for my home videos. Do you think I could use that as wel for an interview like this? Or how much lumen I should be looking for?

    But why not just using FCP‘s „sync multicam clips via audio“-function in post?

    • @damiencooper

      Really unreliable when the cameras audio habt great. And then it’s a pain to sync

    • @damiencooper

      I always shoot wide open 🙈 I want as much background separation as possible. Shooting that wide on a s35 theres still enough in focus areas

  • @BrianSellers
    @BrianSellers Рік тому

    Watching the interview video itself, I notice that the talent is wearing the same outfit both in the interview and in the clinic with the client. Did you shoot all of that in the same day, or request that she wear the same outfit on multiple days? Great video - thanks!

    Only thing about this I don't like is the camera angle where it almost feels like an upskirt the whole time. Usually I would crop in a bit to avoid that.

  • @Makta972

    The A cam was positioned too low. The differences in tripod height makes that setup wonky

    I can only see the girl in the background you did an amazing job with the lighting but I would have sacrificed a little bit of Framing and turn the camera a little bit to the left so that that person wouldn't be in frame

    I let the light in the room to determine if I can get away with just one light. Sometimes you can let natural and ambient lights work for you. However, I was raised to never shoot women from below. A lot of older women don't want to expose their chin or chins...LOL

    The recording of your voice is too close, too warm, too intimate. It's like you are standing in my personal space. I don't want to listen.
