    Very good and easy to understand way of showing what would be required to make the shot epic which also makes me appreciate what it takes to make movies work well.
    Meanwhile I will have to stick to cloudy days, shady places or indoors ;)

    @kjvisual7 4 года назад +2

    Hilarious 😂 this made my day! But the truth is, this is what it takes. The only reason it looks funny is because you are solo. Adding 2 more people (doing anything) changes everything and makes it look ultra cool instead of silly. I have to say, your counter balance is brilliant! I will just get a 4x4 on a stand and not walk around.
    And ya, that shot looked really, really good. 😁

  • @fostervf16
    @fostervf16 4 года назад

    So far this is one of my favorite videos you have made. Second is the softbox video.
    Another advantage to this setup, albeit small, is that even when you turn the white material will reflect some light back on you. I actually wish you did that test to see if it worked. It's not as good as a reflector but still does something. You could even try another white one that has less diffusion. That would have more reflection but not as much as a silver one. Which means it wouldn't hurt the eyes as much. And probably provide a nice soft look.
    How about trying that?

  • @GeriMars
    @GeriMars 4 года назад

    Unless you have a really large scrim there is the problem of the exposure difference between the face and background. I would like to see how well a clear umbrella, which does have some diffusion properties due to the texture of the plastic, works. And mount a GoPro inside it, and use a minimal counterweight.

  • @Indrid-Cold
    @Indrid-Cold 5 лет назад

    This gave me a great idea I wanted to share. TWO-WAY MIRROR! You can get a very light ACRYLIC two mirror for cheap, and cut a hole in the center for your lens, or order it custom with a hole cut in the center. Most have a ratio of 70:30 or 60:40 of reflectivity versus light transmission through the other side. So you’d get just the right amount of reflected light onto your face, and you can see through it to walk. More importantly, it will only weigh a couple of ounces. I’m going to order one and give it a go! If you’d like to steal the idea and make a video for everyone, since I don’t do that kind of thing, I’ll be happy to share the best link I found for the idea. Let me know!
