Lil Dennis out there just being the most educative and informative youtuber for all of us bedroom solo djent project guys, thanks for doing what you do man :)
Hahaha I love the Lil Dennis reference. Bonus points for that. Thanks Louis! Just trying to fulfil my need to make, edit and colour grade footage while teaching all the things I know haha. Lmk if this all helps on your journey. What would you film stuff on? Phone?
queue random extremely high production value all-in-one camera tutorial. man you went all out! so great, esp. also going into psychology of how footage is received. Pure gold.
Thank you so much for sticking it out and watching haha. I love videography and aspiring to do more film work so super glad to help share what I’ve learned from a technical and psychological aspect. Helps me reiterate it and think of the easiest way to explain things and understand it even better. Thanks again for watching
@@BrendonKPadjasek first I thought... wait if he doesn't get to guitar soon there's no video left. Then I saw part 2 and 3 😱😅 well sir. take my sub, it's all I have on me at the moment 😀
@kokocreatesmusic hahahah I’ll take it. Thanks so much. Yeah honestly I could have easily spent way more time on it but had to cut it off at some point haha
Thank you so much Don! A few years ago I was getting really over exerted with music, picked up a camera and I feel like I have a whole new purpose with video and photography now. And it makes music More fun as well, to have another reason to write and film a song. Which camera are you using? Or are you on a phone?
Man you do it all! Killer music production tutorials AND video production tutorials. Your channel is a gold mine of knowledge. Gonna have to binge your content this weekend. Love this vids dude.
Eh thank you my man. I’m lucky to work as a videographer/ photographer for most of my work these days and having the music background I think really helps with the creative side and syncopation between the audio and video side
I’ve been making videos for years and this was still incredibly helpful. So stoked to see you doing this channel. Always been a big fan of your work since the early Structures days. Keep on keeping on 🤘
Thanks so much! I learned a lot of these techniques from filming client work as well as the few music videos I've done. I love camera work haha Thanks for following us since our early days
Dude, I just want to say that you are so fantastic at this. You are putting down nothing but good information and in a concise manner. Keep killing it! Will be supporting as much as I can!
@@BrendonKPadjasek Is there any chance of potentially creating a "Guitar101" lesson? Where it teaches someone what guitar to buy for a beginner, explain a bit about amps/digital amps, what to start learning (chords and then simple songs) until finally getting into a Metalcore/progressive/djent vibe playing.
@@BrendonKPadjasek no rush or anything ☺️ I'm thinking of having a new hobby and I think I want to learn how to play the guitar. Since I love your videos and your teaching approach, I'd be looking forward to a mini series or course. Definitely willing to pay for it too!
@@BrendonKPadjasek perfecto!!!!!! Yo también espero subir algunas cosas, te las enviare para saber tu opinión, gracias por tremendo trabajo! Saludos desde Chile!
Stoked to hear that. Thanks for watching. Also I have some videos coming up next about the editing and colour grading using a free program called DaVinci Resolve so check that out in the next couple days for more info!
@@BrendonKPadjasek can't wait ! , i also use davinci resolve as well, i used to followed Joe from ggd ways to edit the video ,but for now, let me fix my probs step by step
Absolutely! Resolve is so damn good and cheaper in the long run. I was on premiere before and never looked back. The colour grading tools are irreplaceable for stock plugins. Do you have the free version or the Studio?
agreed. 60 per second instantly look amateur for some reason. would be cool if there was a plugin that could randomly cut between footages that you provide. I've bought a Canon 600D more than ten years ago, but I am to shy to do videos, so I've never got to use it for shooting videos. It's probably very outdated tech by now, but it's probably better than my phone, right?
100% better than your phone. Which lenses do you have for the EF system? If you Multicam it, it works really well. You’ll see in the next video coming out in a few days. And that’s also why I don’t often like to show my face in my playthroughs. It’s more about the music than me
@@BrendonKPadjasek I have a really bad memory haha. one of them films super close and background is very blurry. the other one is like a normal lens. I will be able to check it out in a few days. but that's awesome that an old camera is still better than modern phone
Oh yeah. I mainly subscribe to camera channels and some of my favourite photographers are still using 10 + year old cameras. It’s actually all about the lens and the lighting. I’ve watched people make Gatorade commercials with that classic rebel T3i everyone had haha. I’d imagine you have a 50mm 1.8 as it’s the classics for the canon system. Even if you use your phone you’ll get good results but likely you’d need to make sure your background is dark as phones done so Depth of Field well at all.
@@BrendonKPadjasek I've tried to learn how to scream for many years but never succeeded, although I kinda found how to reach that distortion spot but don't know if I do the correct things ^^ That would be cool if you continue your vocal series of course ;) I love the scream by the ghost inside's vocalist Jonathan Vigil, that's my goal haha
Hey thanks so much. I’ve contemplated doing that as well. I’m going to do a short video on the best app for doing that on a phone so I’ll include some pointers in that as well
This is really cool, learned a lot from it. It would be nice to see how you would do with iPhone. I’ve been researching a lot about add on lenses and filters to record with the main iPhone 15 pro camera (the 48mp one)
I’m actually working on that video as we speak. I shot my most recent playthrough on an iPhone 13. Check it out if you’d like. iPhone video should be out tomorrow or Saturday Moment also has some really cool lenses
Thank you so much! And yes definitely. The majority of the next video is Multicam and also Media Optimization to make sure any computer can playback the video without lag Are you already on DaVinci Resolve ?
Thanks so much for checking it out. I have 2 other videos coming out in the next few days that will work for iPhone and camera footage (all the editing and colour grading) so stay tuned for that. I’ll definitely work on an iPhone playthrough next!
Hi man Good vid. Simple query(cant find a decent answer)..is there a free video capture program that lets me record 2 webcams at the SAME time(2 output files)? Cheers
How many released tracks of structures/Brendon we'll be listening if this channel closed?😂 Really involved since 2014, you're just perfectionist but what a diamond of guitarist/production man
Hahah well luckily this channel won’t be closed so I’ll be putting out videos and songs until my hands give out. That’s the plan for now haha. Thanks so much Ed! Appreciate you checking out the page and all the kind words
@@BrendonKPadjasek still trying to understand the details and magic of the Earth Gazing with my band, I think it's the balance of power and composition of modern metal
Oh hell yeah. Our other guitar player actually wrote that song and I just contributed with the lyrics (our old bassist and I) and vocals. We really focused on song writing on that album opposed to “writing the heaviest breakdowns and two steps” like with older album
Unrelated to the topic of the video, but are you rocking 6 wound up strings on your 7 string? Had a friend lend me a wound up G and it is a life changer.
I ALWAYS go wound 3rd string. Even on my 6’s. That’s the only way to have any success with tuning that dreaded 3rd string. Thanks for checking it out! Which guitar are you playing ?
@@BrendonKPadjasek Recently bought a Balaguer from my friend. He already had it restrung with that wound up G and that's how I found out about it. Weighs a ton more then what I'm use to playing (Fender guitars usually)
@@BrendonKPadjasek Thank you. If I turn those lights off, it’s pitch black in my room. Is that OK? As long as I have the front and back lights and RGB lights?
@southisaac id say so for sure. Then it leaves room for you to get creative with lighting where as the top lights don’t really give you much room and always leave those bad shadows that give you raccoon eyes
At that price point you won’t get great autofocus performance so you’ll have to rely on manual focus. I would suggest the Lumix GH4 or GH5 if you can get a gh5 at that price. And look out for one with V-LOG (higher dynamic range profile). The gh4 may be a better option at that price as you’ll need a lens and a light as well. Lighting and lens choice are much more important than the camera itself. Buy everything used. GH4 plus a couple of cheaper prime lenses (likely the Lumix 20mm f1.7 and if you have budget for something in the 40mm-60mm range - keeping in mind that since it’s a crop sensor camera, a 20mm becomes a 40mm equivalent so double all those numbers) Also there are a lot of third party super affordable lenses for the m43 system. Godox makes a really affordable sl60 light which would be great start. If you want RGB light, Neewer are fairly affordable and you can battery operated them, but they’re not very bright. I would go, gh4, Lumix 20mm f1.7 to start (or 2 super budget prime lenses of different focal lengths and higher aperture) and the Godox sl60 + a softbox Lmk if you have any other questions.
@@BrendonKPadjasek Yes I was also thinking about buying some lights on Amazon or something, apart from the camera itself, I heard it helps a lot with the quality. I will check those cameras you mentioned. Thank you, you were very helpful. New sub here.
@@StNudge eh thanks so much! Also if the gh4 is too out of budget with everything in mind, I use the Lumix G7 every now and then on client shoots when I need a 3rd or 4th angle
@@BrendonKPadjasek I was googling and I found someone selling a Lumix 20mm for 200€, looks brand new. Do you think its a good price? I would buy a camera after cause Im not in a rush but if its a good deal, I might take it
@@BrendonKPadjasek One last question: I was searching and I have one guy selling the Lumix gh4, with a 14-45mm len for 435€. I have other guy selling the 20-60mm len you talked about alone for 200€, looks new also. Would it be a good oportunity to buy the cam with the 14-45mm len or just buy the 20-60mm and buy the câmera later (Not In a rush)
Will do! I have the next 2 videos lined up that are for editing and colour grading which will work just as well with iPhone but later on I can make a new song and film it with the intention of making the most of an iPhone playthrough. Thanks for watching !
Haha will do! The next 2 videos coming out will definitely work for iPhones as well but I’ll get on the filming side with iPhones too. It will be slightly different, especially since phones don’t have real depth of field. Which iPhone are you on?

What would you film stuff on? Phone?
@@BrendonKPadjasek Yeah its all iphone 11 on the 4k 30fps mode, its absolutely terrible because i cant monitor myself visually while playing
I hate that. The image quality is so much better on the front camera than the selfie one. Do you have a phone holder when you film?
I'm about to record myself playing guitar and as a complete beginner I must say this is pure gold. Keep it up dude, amazing stuff here.
Thank you so much! Stoked it was helpful
Some of those shots look super cool without the key light but I see how you would need it to see the notes.
Exactly haha. I wish I could get away with just the back and RGB lights sometimes
Finally found the best lesson! Thank you man!
No problem at all! I love videography work so any time I get a chance to make a video related to that I will
