Amazing! What would be cool is if next time, you show what everything looked like before you did the lighting setup and after!
That would be ideal! I need to have someone on set dedicated to bts content for sure 🤘
@@timothy_films hit me up, I can do it for you!
That facetime/teleprompter idea is money!!!!
Yeah I saw a friend do it once and it’s the best solution I’ve found for this style 🙌
@@timothy_films The Eyedirect autocue is great too. So long as your camera isn't set up right beside a wall, you're golden.
Amazing work!
Tim this is a friggin masterclass yet again. Love the unique decision you made with the A & B cam placements. Def breaks the traditional interview barrier and im here for it! haha keep pumping out the gold my man. Much love 🙏
Bro thanks so much! 🙏
Man, you're so chill and passionate at the same time haha. nice video!
Thanks man! 🤘
🔥🔥🔥 OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
Thank you! 🤘
@@timothy_films My Man!!!
very smart move with the book light. loving the look
Book light is my favorite 🤘
sick setup.
this is expert level wow and i didnt know that the black magic could look that beautiful wow i only have the canon eos r
Thank you 🙏
bro...that wasnt an interview. That was a film...that had an interview in it! That looked ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! subbed!
Thanks so much man🙏
This was sooooo educational. Thank you! Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Looks great man. So lucky wit that sunlight
That C-Stand is a revelation!
Definitely! 🤘
These types of videos are my jam. A live set tour before or after talent would be cool too
Definitely will start filming more bts stuff on set 🤘
good behind the scene and explanation, showing the structure on both fill light and your negative fill
Thanks! 💪
Amazing breakdown. Loved it thanks for sharing. More of this on RUclips plz
Thank you! Will do!
Great Video Bro!
Thanks!
Super nice looking frames!
Thanks!
I always love watching these BTS breakdowns. There's always something to learn.
What was the reasoning for having both camera angles so similar rather than shooting wider and just cropping in sections for the edit? Other than a backup camera and memory cards
A few reasons… I always do my best to avoid cropping in post. It’s always best to film things in camera the way you want. I think the angles actually very different. The tighter angle compresses the background so much more and you wouldn’t achieve this by cropping. I wanted the b cam to be more than a backup angle. It feels different within the story. A cam is more intimate and b cam is more laid back and informational in the story.
Great question! Hope that helps 👍
@@timothy_films I guess I was meaning more of having the second camera off axis a little more for that kind of variety instead of both of them being more head on
@@tbeiber09 ok makes sense! I’m not a big fan of mixing center frame direct to camera and then off camera angle. Pretty disjointing to me. I also wanted something unique and different and not the same old traditional look. 🤘
this is so incredibly helpful, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice, loving the compact book light!
It’s amazing! 🙌
Awesome BTS breakdown. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed!
amazing! it is gonna be great to see camera setings too
I'll remember to do that next time!
This was very helpful and answered a lot of questions -- thanks! Cute trick with the teleprompter, I might have to borrow that idea someday.
Glad it was helpful!
This is awesome stuff man, love the interview setup! The book light setup is clutch
Thanks man! Yeah it’s an awesome piece of gear
nice setup!! And cool video sytle with a lot of information 🙏🏼
Thanks!
Looks like a Hoyte Van Hoytema shot. Unreal.
Thank you 🙏
Now that´s some BEAUTIFUL work man, keep up!
Thank you!
Great video. So helpful and informative! Love that you are rocking the pocket cameras. They are so amazing!
Thanks! Best cameras for the money! 💪
Love it, great stuff!
Thanks!
The most american way to shoot an interview haha amazing that you built this setup with BMPCC!
Lol thanks 🤘
incredible breakdown
Thanks! 🙏
Awesome details! I started as a video editor but not bought my first camera (fx 30) to include video production in my portfolio :)
Nice!
Oh yeah, this is a masterclass. Immediately subscribed
Thank you 🙏
Hey man, just stumbled on this. Great video. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing the piece whenever it is available!
Absolutely! Thanks 🙏
I thought it was interesting that you talk about how clutch tethering your audio recorder’s aux output directly to your camera was. I was taught to always shoot like this if possible.
This is the way to go when using dual system audio in general if possible, as you get a backup and in my experience you get perfect syncing as well, no drift Baby. Zero realistic downsides IMO , you can even use a wireless go or something to tether if you need wireless. I bring direct boxes to convert 3.5m to xlr and back if needed
Absolutely the way to go!
looks really really nice! would have just added a little catch for the eyes
Great video. This is very informative. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Hey savage tripods, love em. great job man.
Thanks!
Nice. It would be nice as well to see the interview video 🙂
Here is the documentary- ruclips.net/video/O7U7cPv3MIA/видео.htmlsi=XX12-WopHJj1S4j8
Good image! thank you!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow the image from those BM cams looks amazing. Love the composition and shot selection. Please do more breakdowns… these are really valuable.
New subscriber!
Thanks man! More content coming soon 💪
Much better than the digital look from the Sony cameras for sure
So much value within the first 5 minutes! Thanks for sharing! Instant subscribe from me!
Awesome, thank you!
dude great setup! I need to rig something like that 4x4 Ultra+Diff for future use!
For sure!
It's great to see canon fd lenses in use. I have the 55 and 85.
Such good lenses 👍
The image are superb 😮
Thanks! 🙏
Great Video. Subscribed to see what’s next.
Awesome, thank you!
Beautiful interview image dude.. and great video. 🤙🏿👍🏿 as a 6K Pro user love to see what others are doing with it..
Thanks! 🙏 such a beautiful camera!
@@timothy_films yeah it is.. I just wish it had a global shutter..
@@ODHunte that would be sick
Wow, amazing the 4k in 2023 still surprise me
I know right! It’s crazy how good it still looks
Great video. Straight to the point. Teaching rather than self promoting. Thanks.
By the way, what is the name of that incredible C-stand and the 4X4 super bounce + diffuser?
Thanks man that means a lot 🙏 the links for those are in the description! 🤘
@@timothy_filmsfound it , thanks
This is awesome man, so inspiring to see someone else uses bmpcc cameras on this level of production. What lenses were you working with too?
Thanks man! We used a set of vintage Canon FDs. 28mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 135mm
Sound blanket is a nice touch, do you often shotgun mic and lav for backup? 99% of the time I find myself using lav audio and the boom is the backup personally.
I’m always using the boom as my main source for interviews. It’s a higher quality mic and the lavs are hidden by clothes which obstructs sound a little. That’s why the lav is my backup. There’s no right or wrong, just my preference.
My dream is to achieve fantastic color with this one.
Nice ,I dont often do my own audio , but for sit-down interviews I have been doing it more lately . I would always worry about concealed lavs and clothes noise , even with a sound recordist !, but I see that with a well placed and good quality shotgun on a boom , you don't need the lav . Just get it right with the boom , to 2 tracks ,different levels . Fx9 has very decent pre amps , better than many of the cheaper ext audio recorders , and just record in Camera , with the bonus of zero TC drift :)
I like to have a backup lav just in case and have someone monitor it so you know if the clothes are interfering with it 👍
It looks so awesome! Sharp and creamy. Did you use any diffusion filter?
Thanks! I used black pro mist 👍
Great interview breakdown! Definitely subscribing. As a beginner it is great to see you are able to use that 300d for that key light. I got a Nanlite Forza 300 on the way, but been worried it might not be enough with everyone using 600d or even 1200 for booklight. By the way, did you use a warmer color temperature for that 600x with spotlight lighting up the center left background?
Glad it was helpful! I definitely use the 600 and 1200 for certain setups. Every situation is different. I can't remember exactly what temp we used for the backlight, but I believe it was a little warm.
This looks amazing! Which adapter did you use with Canon FD for 6k pro?
Thanks! I used Simmod Lens conversion kits
Bro is that god’s light shining down on you? Nice breakdown though. That sound blanket on the ground is genius.
Thanks 💪
Peace. Beatiful shot! What did you use to haze up that huge area?
Thanks! CHAUVET DJ Hurricane Haze 1DX
Thanks dude. Where we can watch full doc?
We just had our guest screening last weekend and it will premiere here on the channel soon!
dope! what about the color grade?
I’ll be doing a separate video just for the color grading of the doc 👍
Damn that book light is sweet!
Quality stuff out here! Btw which lenses did you use?
Thanks 🙏 Canon FD 28mm and 50mm
what lenses did u use on bmpcc4k?
Canon FD 28mm
How did you get the colors to look so natural and saturated ? @timothyfilms
I’m planning on doing a whole color grading breakdown but the simple version is I used Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro and 4K which have incredible colors and graded with Kodak 2383 in Davinci. Tweaked the colors from there 🤘
@@timothy_films thanks brother it looks amazing!!
🙏
Hey bro! Where can I watch this interview?
Hey! The full doc premieres in a few weeks but the trailer is at the end of this video- ruclips.net/video/YYInkSR38Yw/видео.htmlsi=njOUyKCYSziJ382X
@@timothy_films Awesome! Please continue dropping more of these Lighting Breakdowns / BTS. I'm learning BIGTIME forsure.
@@bakoenanakin9400 absolutely! More coming 💪
How many people on your team?
For this project we had 4 crew members. Me as the director and DP, our producer, gaffer, and audio
@@timothy_films Thanks! How would you handle this type of documentary style interview if you were on your own. What would you cut? Keep? Gear differences.
@@CreativeIsolation I would honestly try to do as much of it as I could which means more pre production to make sure everything is dialed and getting to set earlier to set up. I would’ve probably not done that background light and haze just because we had to constantly monitor and fan out the haze. It’s definitely hard to watch cameras, monitor audio and conduct the interview by yourself.
@@timothy_films thanks! And yes it is! Even with a simple set up like I have.
Another welcome breakdown but am wondering about catchlight or eye light? Can see you are a fan of top down and or side light but for that extra connection especially when the tones if the shot and face are quite muted and its facing the camera then some eye light would probably have added something. Just a thought. Thx
Good thought!
Love the A and B cam angles. I’ve never been a huge fan of the off to the side cam B angle when it’s a one sided interview. Just looks like the subject is talking to nobody lol
Exactly 👏
Did you mean 18k? or m18? dont think u woulda gotten much out of an m18 ;)
Haha yeah 18k 🤘 good catch
great video mate, but you sound tired
lol I was probably tired when filming. That’s what I get for running a business, making RUclips videos, and having 3 kids 😂
respect!!@@timothy_films
