- For some reason I found myself capturing this shoe in my bathroom today. Using 2 tube lights, some dental floss, and past experiences from shooting products in studios, I saw some good potential. I then moved on to the living room, during the day, and found that the look wasn’t really there, but could be fixed up nicely in post. I used davinci resolve for the color grade where I went for more of a film look, with film emulation, grain, a little bit of halation, etc. dirtied it up a bit. I used after effects for the background removal, and wire removal. Lastly I went into a larger room, and blocked out all of the light and landed on the final look. Getting a nice cinematic look with products can be tricky, but with some finesse you can land on a nice look, even in your bathroom. A lot of the magic happens in post production. This is an at home test. For a real shoot I would light the background with 2 brighter lights, some HMIs, 10ks if we were shooting tungsten, or some sky panels or some aputure 1200ds. Anything big and bright. I would then use strip banks on the shoe, with a couple other lights to create some pings of light on the shoe. Having v flats and floppies is also important.

My original plan was to show the post production process but this video took too long, so I gave up and shipped it. Let me know if you have any questions and join the discord: / discord
Footage shot on the Arri Alexa mini LF and a couple anamorphic lenses.

@nike (and all footwear brands) ya’ll missin out in this guy
Thank you! Love Nike
i love that you just start, i dont have to listen to someone yapping all day till they show something useful. If i click on one of your videos you just start doing intressting stuff. best way to learn
Thank you :) I definitely try to get right into it and cut out anything that isn’t useful.
Turning a bathroom into a studio..no excuses, just keep practicing!
Bathroom is typically the easiest studio you can find 😂
I love these style of vids from you, I learn SO MUCH from them - and they inspire me to practice at home. Thank you!
Thanks Ed, love your videos too. One reason I love RUclips.. it forces me to get at a minimum, a somewhat acceptable final image lol. Where before posting to RUclips I would do tests at home but not push as far as I do now.
Thanks for the early motivation! Good way to start a Friday.
You bet!
Shoes are from Brandblack. no affiliation with this video, just love the shoes. all of them are wildly comfy and good for standing/working all day. check them out.
Practice does make perfect!! Awesome job man. Inspired through all you do
Thank you! More to come
My man out here doing the Lords work! I have the same quasar tubes and whilst they are a massive pain they are some of the prettiest tubes in the game imo. Thank you for keeping it simple and showing what's possible🤝🏼 much love from Tennessee🙏🏼
Haha thank you Garrett. They do look really great, but yes they are a hassle at times. Love them forever.
I love the shots. I did one of these for a handgun and it turned out incredible, you've inspired me to do more.
Love it! Let me know how they turn out
great vid. always dropping interesting and informative stuff
Thank you! ☺️
Love the video. Not only do you get to practice but also get to entertain us.
Haha thank you. That is why I love to do it.
Mkayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Imma whip out my 1200D and 600D, turn my living room into a studio and shoot some shoes. My wife will hate me, I'll tell her it's your fault.
Awesome video as usual my guy!
Hahah. Every room should be made into a studio here and there! Pro tip. Start with small setups, then slowly take over the whole house with stands and cables.
this was nice to watch.
thank you :)
This is a great video. Makes me wanna turn the spare bedroom into a studio I did tell the Mrs that should be my office (my vote somehow got veto'd) though in all seriousness just playing and experimenting with shots like this would be great fun.
In terms what you were saying about CGI though I am not sure if it is fully true some of the shoots I've been on clients really want their product in the shot and not just generated. Which in some ways might be easier.
I believe there is a certain magic when it is real like look at what we did
totally agree with you on the magic of doing it for real, and I hope we continue to do it for real! also.. you have to convince the Mrs to turn the bedroom to a studio!!
@@BlaineWestropp1 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have a plan! I feel if I put a shelf up and put a paper roll underneath she'll never notice.
Hahah I like it. Please keep me posted.
These are some fresh kicks yo
My go to
this is crazy!! I subscribed.
Thank you 😊 more to come.
I love this video
I ❤️ u
So good!
Thank you 😇
For the bagel algorithm 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Loved this. Turned out great
Thank you Tyler!
Long lenses compress the DOF, wide angle lens do the opposite - background lights pointed 45degrees in crosslight for BG, you could honestly just bounce the BG light back into the shoes instead of lighting them independently, and you'd get like... a 3:2 ratio on those being so close to the wall, and the shoes being white also :)
Well.. camera position is what compresses depth. Lenses have nothing to do with compression. You can definitely light them with the BG lights, or the background bounce. Depending on the product this can be enough and look good. But when you’re going for a very specific look it is wise to treat them separately in my opinion, sometimes. The same goes for anything you’re dealing with in a studio, even humans. You don’t always have to, but sometimes it’s worth it. All depends really.
@@BlaineWestropp1 ok, well, are we talking about the same thing? Film.a face with a 28mm and another with an 85mm lens and you'll see what focal.lenrgh does :) We're talking about compression yes?
@MichealBeaulieu compression is a result of camera distance to its subject relative to its background. Longer lenses force you to get further away from your subject - the distance involved is what contributes to the image compression, which is why telephoto lenses often get false credit for this compression effect. If you take two photos of the same thing from the same spot, one wide and one tight, then crop in on the wide angle version to match the framing of the telephoto image, the compression will appear the same too!
This is interesting! I am just a hobby photographer but I always thought doing studio photography like this looks fun. I take photos of playing card decks, but I don’t try this hard. This looks fun imo.
try it out! make those cards float!
YO - Aura 130's. I bought Hoka's and regret. Might turn back.
Gnarly video as always 🙇♂
Yo thanks bro! Which Hokas did you get? I have hokas and definitely like them.
Picked up the Rincon 3’s. High comfort, mid look 🤣 - great running shoe for this big boy
I think I got some 7s based on a recommendation and they saved me a few months ago when I was in the middle of nowhere working for a month.
What anamorphics do you own/use?
Hey. I have a great joy/blazar 50mm 1.8x. That is the only anamorphic I own. I often times have other anamorphics with me, usually prototypes. I am also waiting on the atlas Mercury set to be delivered.
Wow... you're the man... How did you remove the string and some unwanted things in the background such as lights in post?
Haha thank you. You shoot a clean plate (a shot of the scene without the shoe), so you can mask out that stuff. You then can position that in different areas to create the clean background. There is also a “wire remover” in after effects that is good for wires and strings.
Epic man! Learned so much in this one. Can I have a question - when you are using false color are you monitoring the log or the lut? Thanks. a lot!
Hey thank you! For false color, sometimes I monitor log, and sometimes the lut. depends on what I am shooting! for this I had it on the lut, as its main purpose was to judge the evenness of the light on the BG.
Thanks man, much appreciated and looking forward for the next video. @@BlaineWestropp1
@JakubChlouba thank you! Also regarding using false color. I find it useful to monitor the log image when I’m in really bright, or really high dynamic range scenes!
@@BlaineWestropp1 much appreciated man!🙌🏻
How did you manage to pull such a nice film grain that survives youtube commpresion? Love your channel btw, you really stand out :)
hey thanks so much! I find that grain works well on RUclips with bright footage. dark footage is another story..
Thank you for response! :)@@BlaineWestropp1
HOLY HELL THE END PRODUCT BRO WHAT!
😇
Dude I need your help on the next one
Yo habría atado los cordones con un lazo en lugar de dejarlos con el nudo que traen cuando son nuevos.
Yep. I agree.
Love it dude
Thank you!
i'm just lighting dumb. it's very hard for me to understand. even as you explain it. fun, inspiring video. if you had a wide angle showing the entire set up the whole time (ideally a split screen of the main cam with the wide angle) so i can see where lights are being placed while you say you're moving them here or there, that'd be tight. i'm not trying to direct. not demanding, as a free viewer. just saying, i'm so dumb every bit of visual info helps me. thanks for the sweet vid though!
Good tip. Will implement in future lighting videos!
Curious if you could attach at the sole and film it upside down and flip it in post. Could get some bounce light off the floor
Could be cool. You could attach anywhere really. Sometimes attaching on the top part of the heel is good. Then you get full 360 of the shoe and can do some cool things with keyframed repos. Can almost make it look like it was shot on a robot arm.
Thanks for the video. Once I filmed something similar, but with a chair instead of shoes 😅
Oh cool! How did you spin the chair?
@@BlaineWestropp1 it was outdoors and I used trees to secure the ropes attached to the chair. Wide shots are often the most challenging, but for close-ups I simply rotated the chair with my arms up
@@orestfilm smart move!
Hey blaine, how did you get this pastel greenish look?
Any luts or color grading tricks? Really curious how you got this look
Thanks for all the inspiration, love your work❤
Hey thanks! I think I may be due for a grading video. Stay tuned 😇
Yes - I've been late to a video. But I never miss.
You the OG
Can you link the clanps you were using on the stands to hold the Quasars?
Yes, will find today and share link.
which diopter did u use?
It’s a very old large diopter that I don’t know the brand of 😭
Put the alexa on the slypod.
I can hear the snap now. there is a way to use the slypod with the Alexa and its great.. Alexa on slider, slypod pushes slider. its great.
tuto edit?
Can you clarify? 🙂
@@BlaineWestropp1 how Edit this vídeo
Oh yes. Maybe I will make a video about it!
It’s the absence if fluff that makes this all worth it. I’ll watch the whole thing just because you don’t BS me. Thank you. 🥲
thank you! that's the goal 😊
