I've been on RUclips for 15 years and never commented on a video before. This video is awesome. I've spent the entire day trying to find a basic primer on lens/lighting setup for someone with a technical background (but not alot of video experience). I appreciate that this got right to the point and without any BS. Kudos. A breathe of fresh air.
Super useful information, straight to the point, no bullshit or long empty intros, no stupid childish jokes... I'm just subscribed and hope this channel rockets up high as it deserves.
I found this channel yesterday and subscribed with the idea, “this guys got probably at least 100k subscribers.” and was shocked to not see that. I love your form of storytelling so much and can’t wait to see your platform grow!
Wow. I loved this. I only have an 85 mm, 30 mm, 70-110 mm, and a kit lense and I have been wondering which to use. This really helps. I really want a nice 24 mm lense now.
This is probably the best lens overview video I have ever watched! You did a great job with every aspect of this video. You offered a ton of useful information and kept the video very interesting throughout! Great Job!!!
Nice informative video! Didn't expect such a polished video from a small content creator! Definitely shows how high the bar is on RUclips now. Keep up the good work!
16mm 1.4 is going to be the way to go. I actually just made an apsc lens video depending on room size. ruclips.net/video/P_ELajU4Lcs/видео.htmlsi=XpyqSrwSasaQemMz
This is strangely super educational. It's so fast pace and entertaining I watched the whole thing. I also don't usually comment but what a great video. You're a good educator thank you
Great video man! I've been poking around checking out other creators' talking head and this was the only video I needed. Wish I'd have found it two weeks ago lol
You did a great job explaining how focal length compresses the image. I think a lot of people think a zoomed in lens (aka higher focal length) enlarges the image. At least that’s what I used to think when I bought my first crop sensor camera.
Doesn't the focal length depend on whether you're using a full-frame or crop sensor? I'll have to assume your examples all pertained to full frame, and adjust accordingly if I'm using a crop sensor. (In other words, multiply the len's focal length by the camera crop factor to know the effective focal length) Correct?
What a helpful guide! I expected to use a 90mm, but upon testing I realized that 35mm is my sweet spot. Flattering enough while revealing just the right amount of background. I start filming next week. Thanks for helping a beginner get an instinct for this.
Excellent information. Thanks! How do you avoid echo in such a wide open space (2:35)? I watched your earlier video about doing audio. I don't see your lapel mic, and I would have expected the Rode NTG to have issues with echo. I also don't see carpets, sound blankets, etc.
Interestingly, one of the best defenders against echo is STUFF. Flat walls are your worst enemy. And also once a space gets bigger than a room, the sound dissipates before it can return to the microphone, particularly well when there’s lots of different shapes in the room. This warehouse is chalk full of stuff. I am using the Rode Videomic NTG on this one, and that mic does additional work because it’s very directional, which means my voice would have to bounce off the wall behind the mic, then travel back to the wall behind ME and then back into the mic and by then it has disbursed throughout all the stuff in the room! I hope this made sense.
Thanks for the quick answer. Makes sense although I'm still surprised at how good your results are. I know shotgun mics don't have complete rejection from the rear. I thought you would get echo from the ceiling. I'm trying to help a friend make videos for his business. He builds out commercial spaces which means he starts with an empty shell. The "before" shots are especially tough since the space is just that - empty space. It is much like your warehouse minus the stuff.
@@divides_by_zero Yeah big emtpy spaces, especially with concrete floors and meta walls are pretty tough.. Obviously the closer you can get the mic to their mouth, the lower you get to turn the gain and the less the reverb comes through. If you were to listen to just my audio track with noise canceling headphones in a super quiet room with no background music, Im sure youd be able to hear the large space.
Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't had a chance to go with him to one his empty shells yet. I have played around inside my house which has some high, vaulted ceilings. I have the Rode Wireless Go II with their Lavalier Go as well as the VideoMicro. The results weren't horrible but not good enough to use in a promotional video. A better mic will help, but I think you are right about needing stuff to block and absorb the soundwaves. I'm still impressed with your results in your warehouse. Glad to know about your other channel. I checked it out and you have some interesting things there as well.
Use a lens length that flatters the person in the video and position the camera and dress the set accordingly. Dont use a wide angle lens if the person is large or rounded features. Dont use a long lens zoomed way in if the person has thin or pointed features. Shooting at 35mm and giving your subject room will work for most body/face shapes and sizes. You can always crop in the frame in post if you shoot in a high enough resolution to create a more intimate feel without distorting their features
Thank you! I think I made the mistake of making my other channel about too may things for youtube to find a solid audience. So I split out the photography stuff to this one and the other one will be science projects and money...
It’s crazy how much this video looks like a green screen till you explain it and you see it from different angles. Definitely learned a lot watching, much appreciated.
This was amazing. I've never really understood what camera to buy, and I still don't, but at least now I understand more about those lense numbers. An extraordinarily exciting video on basically a very dull subject, I was totally gripped.
Thanks, straight to the point and very informative. A lot of videos on similar topics fail to talk about how far the elements are placed in relation to each other, makes it hard to decide without trying the lense in your setting, even if you know the general principles.
Was anxious about searching through a bunch of videos finding out how to do a basic video shot and you literally referenced the people i thought did well and wanted to try. So grateful
It is DISTANCE TO NEAR OBJECT no focal length of the lens which changes near-far perspective. With faces the key near-far relationship is nose-to-ears and how wide the head behind the ears looks. I’ve been shooting faces with a camera since 1968 and have observed the standard for what most consider ‘normal’ perspective change when people started vlogging with phones and GoPros on selfie sticks a distances far closer than any conventional portrait photographer would use. 85mm - 105mm became the range off focal lengths used for 35mm because that range produced head and shoulder and headshot crops from 6-10ft which is the range of shooting distances which will make a face appear ‘as seen by eye’ at typical interaction distances. The near-far perspective of the human eye also changes with distance but since it is a fixed focal length the FOV does not change and our perception “tunnels” on the center 2° of the FOV when we fixate on anything - width of of thumb at arm’s length - due to the way most of the RGB sensing cone cells are concentrated around the optic nerve. The takeaway is regardless of camera format, try different viewing distances, pick the one that produces the near-far perspective you want then pick the focal length that produces the desired in-camera crop if not able to to alter it in post-processing.
I just realised you're at 4.25k subs at right now in May 2024. You deserve wayyy more. Given the production quality of your video and the clarity with which you deliver information, I just assumed you were at 50-75k subs. I hope you get there real soon.
My latest video was a fuji 56 1.2. Roughly 85mm FF equivalent. It's a bit close. I use a fuji 35 1.4 in my soon to come videos. Roughly 50mm FF equivalent. These have a better background composition I think. They give more context but still allow nice separation/blur. So I like that a lot. I'll have a video soon with this new setup. I'm using two boling p1 lights in a sort of rembrandt hybrid setup with an led panel behind at a slight angle for a rim light.. I'd love feedback once I post it soon... Stay tuned!
On your latest video, I noticed the sound was greatly improved. Did you switch microphones also? Your lights are a TINY bit hard, but definitely better than just ambient anything - and kind of go with the dark aesthetic background you've got going. I agree, though, you might want to go a little wider to get maybe some of that fairly light bokeh back in and those big speakers since youre talking about sound.
@@NicholasJamesJohnson yes, i started using my condenser microphone just off camera. i personally like a bit of a harder light myself, but it looks better in the new video. I'm using diffusers, but the lights are just small. there is no space for larger lights in the limited space unfortunately... i might be able to diffuse them more, but i will have to play around with materials and settings to see if it is feasible..
I agree! This guy is very informative and taught me a lot about lenses. The effort he puts in to make the video interesting and gem-dropping is amazing. Hitting that follow button takes a second man .
Great videos! New subscriber. A question regarding lens choice and focal length… if I want to use a green screen to add information/photos/videos behind me, does the green screen need to be in the same focal length as me, or can it be out of focus? I plan on starting my tests with a nice Panasonic/Leica Summilux 25mm 1.4 lens on a M4/3rd resulting in a 50mm equivalent. And based on your green screen video (thanks for that!) I will need to play with my distance from the green screen. Thank again!
It’s actually better if the green screen is out of focus. That will smooth out imperfections of the fabric and even out the color. And yeah, further from it you can sit the better just for colors. And thanks!!!
Awesome content!!! The best real-world explanation of focal length and its effects on telling a story. Using real RUclipsrs was such a great touch. Your channel will blow up, I'm sure of it.
Thank you for this video!! Finally, instead of someone trying to sell me a bunch of stuff I don't need, someone just teaches how to find the answer myself. 10/10 🙏
Great Video! Good examples. Got anymore of this stuff? I have to make some talking head stuff for my websites, however, I can't talk as fast as you. I will get it. I have 43 vintage lenses.
43 lenses!! It’s so much harder to shoot with lenses that don’t autofocus.. I used to shoot on a Nikon D850 and its video autofocus was terrible so I would shoot manual. I had to basically put something in my chair, get focus, and then sit pretty stiffly because if I leaned forward too far I would leave the plane of focus. Also, I’m shooting off of a script that I wrote, and then editing out between each sentence, which is how it seems so fluid. The real shots aren’t so fluid speaking
Well, back in 1958 and forward to 2000 I only had manual focus with non-removable lenses. It is pretty easy these days with a large 27" monitor for example. When filming my band I would only focus once and set the exposure, then leave like that, but we were on a stage which didn't move around. We moved, but not enough to go out of focus. I like the look that vintage lenses give. All this changed with digital cameras for me.
This is one of the best informative vids I've ever seen. You made me excited about photography maybe for the first time. Like really this is a masterpiece video.
Thanks a lot for the video! I would like to know which lens should I get for one camera RUclips Podcast interview? Like, two people sitting... Do you use 16mm f/2.8 wide angle?
That would depend a lot on the set. Like, how far from the two of you can the camera sit. Because a 16mm is going to distort the picture the closer you get to the edges, and since you'd be filming two people, you'd both kind of be at the edges, so you'd get stretched out. It would be ideal if you can shoot with a 24mm (full frame) ((16mm would work for APSC)), but even FURTHER back, I would shoot it with 35 or 50mm, for the look I like.
Great video - you nailed it! I just bought the LUMIX S5ii and am trying to figure out which lens I should invest in first for talking head videos. This was a huge help!
I love seeing these comments - and I hope there's a full-time RUclips future for me!! It's been interesting to see which videos do well compared to which videos get no attention at all - and it always seems to be the ones I work the hardest on that get no views. I love the process, though, and Im not stopping!
Such a great video, i honestly expected you to have soo many more subscribers!! Thanks for the detailed examples, I’m in the process of deciding what lens i would primarily like to use and this really gives me a great overall perspective! Subscribed 🙌

I have to make some talking head stuff for my websites, however, I can't talk as fast as you.
I will get it. I have 43 vintage lenses.
43 lenses!! It’s so much harder to shoot with lenses that don’t autofocus.. I used to shoot on a Nikon D850 and its video autofocus was terrible so I would shoot manual. I had to basically put something in my chair, get focus, and then sit pretty stiffly because if I leaned forward too far I would leave the plane of focus.
Also, I’m shooting off of a script that I wrote, and then editing out between each sentence, which is how it seems so fluid. The real shots aren’t so fluid speaking
