Man, why didn’t I discover you earlier!? 😅 pleasure to follow you. However; there is a lot of content and stuff available but you differ because you interpret chic, modern, stylish with a natural eye! Wonderful. Would also be interesting one time to see how and when you operate mf or af; tracking; playing with aperture etc. on the Fuji ecosystem. cya
in short tho, MF for interviews always. AF with face tracking for single subjects. AF using the Area mode is key for anything else. Set the focus box where you want it to focus. Usually am shooting wide open at F1.8 or F2.8 unless there is a real specific need to stop down. Hope that helps :)
Great Video! One question I always asked myself when seeing such a setup: Why do you want the edge of the backdrop in frame for the side shot? For me this looks really disturbing, not clean and rough, also unprofessional in a kind of way. Is this what you want to achive? Like a more "natural", behind the scenes look? Thank you and all the best from Germany!
Hmmm. Interesting question. It's not so much that I just really want it to look that way but more of the practical reality of filming against a backdrop and wanting a side angle. Half of the interviews we filmed that were not shown in the BTS here, had the clients branding placed in that corner that they requested to have in the video. I guess to me, seeing the edge of the backdrop isn't an issue as no one is surprised this was filmed in a studio when it is so plain. To me it's just simple and clean, adds a little color contrast and the client was super stoked. Idk hope that helps!
I have used the Nisi True Color VND for the past while. It's good for my needs however I think all VND's I have tried leave a lot to be desired for me personally
Gotta get one of those umbrellas, but debating between silver or white, what did you use for this setup? I'm thinking silver for better output, but what do you recommend?
its been great. we didn't set out to soundproof the space but did want to control the reflections and reverb. the panels we added helped a ton cutting the reverb down as it was originally 3+ seconds and hard to even have a conversation
Dude great video “Subscribed” ❤

That umbrella modifier is a good idea, going to have to try that. Thanks for sharing!

Love the video! Do you use any ND filters for the XH2S?

Thanks for sharing! I'm super curious which mono font you used in the video. Lovely.
Off the top of my head I think it's Roboto Mono
@@blasepivovar thnx!

Man you know you're a camera nerd when the grip bags make you excited...

Hey! How are you doing with your soundproofing for the space?
its been great. we didn't set out to soundproof the space but did want to control the reflections and reverb. the panels we added helped a ton cutting the reverb down as it was originally 3+ seconds and hard to even have a conversation
