  • What lens does Casey Neistat use?
    What is the best lens for youtube?
    What lighting do famous RUclipsrs use?
    In this video, I take a look at ‪@casey‬ Neistat ‪@LizziePeirce‬ ‪@PeterLindgren1‬ and ‪@PeterMcKinnon‬ to break down their youtube shots. - what lights, how far away is their camera from where they sit, what lens and cameras are they using?

    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.

    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!

    • @NicholasJamesJohnson
      @NicholasJamesJohnson  Год назад +1

      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!!!

I love the process, though, and Im not stopping!
