I don’t do anything with video, but really appreciate the breakdown you guys went through. It really gives viewers an appreciation of the effort you two out into making these videos and why they always look top notch. Keep up the fantastic content.
You two absolutely crush it doing what you do. I'm sure there are plenty of days that suck and maybe it doesn't feel that way, but I have enjoyed what you two create together for so long now and for so many different reasons. Really rad. Hope you guys enjoy the holiday and New Year. ❤
Super appreciate this about lighting and small spaces! We just bought a new house and we go live on RUclips every Tuesday. In the new house we get to design an actual set and the room we'll be using is a bit smaller, so these lighting tutorials really helped!
Loving these regular uploads. Been really into the helicopter series too. You guys should definitely do more gear breakdowns like this. Shaping light is the one of the most important things for photo/video, looks like that little light does a great job, especially when paired with the S3!
I love hearing the detailed technical breakdown of these scenes. I think you guys absolutely nail a clean and aesthetic look in these helicopter travel series! This one especially just LOOKED great. And it should prove that with limited space, gear, and time anyone can still get amazing results. It just takes knowledge, and skilled execution and it's really inspiring as someone who has been in photography but wants to move into videography to see that. You guys do great work, and I hope you're enjoying the holidays
@@BeckiandChris They are rolling forward! I'm actually spending them planning a move across 4 states! And I'm hoping to document that since it's such a huge transition, these video setups (and the heading east and cold island videos) are super inspiring for that sort of project :)
for light stand check out the Matthews MERF Mini, it can hold 9lb, folds down to 20" and weights 3lbs. Its heavier than your typical Nano stand but can hold much more weight, I've recently even put on an godox vl300 + 24" lantern on it in a pitch
I found this episode really, really really instructive. I have a couple of Neewer LED lights, and they just DO NOT cut the mustard. Hopefully my Kickstarter Rotalight, when it arrives, will be as versatile as your Aputure light.
I have an LED similar to the Aputure Amaran P60X you used (just older and a little bigger), but I've never used it much. I realize now I can get a soft box to cover it (why didn't I ever think to look??). Ordering today. I do some video work at my dining room table, and I'm tired of lugging my large light in there. Now I can get a very portable operation. Thanks for sharing this!
I am glad you called out the Aputure Amaran P60X.I have the older model but think It's time to pick up a new one. Just bought and watched the Moment series you guys are in. Ya'll crushed it! So good!
Going on my honeymoon in March! I got my fiancee to watch the helicopter series and now I got approval to get the setup after we pay for wedding! I like how affordable it is but also very pro looking.
Minute 7:24 when you talk about the light. It does not really necessary to match the outdoor light with the interior one simply because in a real scenerio indoor always has to be 1 to 1/2 stop down from outside to give it that natural looking, and you did a great job in getting it, even if it was not meant to.
Great video and thanks for what you do. BTW - Wish they made those pants without the elastic at the leg opening. Other than that they look supper comfortable.
Yay!! I have been waiting for this video since you mentioned it in your helicopter series! Thank you so much. I've been trying to figure out how to shoot sit-down videos while traveling, and this is super helpful.
First thing I did this morning was seeing the results of the streamy awards... I was so sure you two must have won! - Anyways... Great to see the mobile Studio Set-Up. I am still trying to find the best lighting setup. Always good to see content that fits...
Puluz makes a Tripod Extension rod that goes from 7.5 to 12.2inch. I use it for table mounted camera especially when I want the camera not as tall as my table mounted lights.
Opened YT and... oh, a new vid from Becki & Chris? Yes please. But also, I feel like you two are secretly having a grand ol' laugh with the monochrome grey palette sweatsuit interview shot. I don't know why, but it feels like ya'll think it's hilarious.
Dunna is a great dude and of course we love your “Tuxedos” 🤣❤️ Love seeing how you lit all of these scenes. This light looks fantastic, especially if you need to be mobile at times. I’ve been debating a Amaran 100x with a light some SE for my office. I wonder if this is the better option. I’m on a budget. I don’t really see myself taking it with me. Thanks for another great video you two.
@@BeckiandChris thanks for always engaging in the comments. So many don’t and it means a lot. Bought your course with Jesse, Dietchy and John Hill today.
Please!! I beg for a video about how to shoot in small spaces with not a lot of space in the back of the subject, specially what type of lens to use...and specs... Thanks guys! Great work
Are you wearing Glerups?? Your shoes! 🤫 I got my wife some for Christmas and I tried on a pair myself to make sure I was getting the correct European size ... and I loved them. I just didn't feel right getting myself a pair also right before Christmas! 😂 You should get sponsored by them and then I can grab a pair after Xmas with your affiliate link!! 😁 Oh your portable lighting set up was rad too! 😊
I really like what you did in these shots, as well as with the aluminum foil, however, in my opinion, with the exception of the tent shots, in all of the rest of the shots the light is too hot. It washes out some color in the face and does not look natural. The faces are just a little over exposed, and though this is the first video of yours that I've seen I am under the impression that you usually do quality video shoots. Lastly, I would recommend in the tent that a more pleasing light could have been done by removing the soft box from the P60X and turning it around to face the tent, bouncing the light off the larger surface of the tent wall, and bouncing the light onto the subject. This would create a much softer light because of the size of the bounce, and would closer match the look of ambient light from outside. The set up you had appeared like you did not have enough distance to set up the light you used, which I believe was the case. Please take this as constructive criticism that may be helpful. As I began, I am just offering my opinion.
Love this format! I like that light too. I have a couple of them. Do you find it challenging to install the soft box? Feels like I’m in a wrestling match every time I try to put that thing on 😬
Could be the batch I received. Seems like these things are about an inch too small on the diameter. The straps are really difficult to get around those little hooks on the light.
I film mostly offroad in the bush and carry Sony NPF batteries. I don't leave home without a lithium power bank to re-charge things on the fly. Surely the Millenial Falcon has a 12v charge port??
They are fantastic! Haha we can charge via Millennial Falcon but only when flying, it’s too expensive to fire up just to charge batteries. We do have a solar panel though, and some power banks but we don’t use the banks unless absolutely necessary (save for emergency charging).
Thank you for making this video, two questions though. Doesn't "fall off" refer to light/shadow rather than depth of field? And also, this footage is all so desaturated. I know gray seems to be your theme color but are you also desaturating everything in your color correction?
So you can get an adapter cable for the Amaran panels to run off a v-mount batt instead of the NPF. I put an order for four p60c's. Equals two poor man p300c's!
He recommended the deity W.lav pro I think it was! We should! We’ve done a few in the past, hopefully we will be able to be in the same city sometime soon.
Podcast? What podcast? Do you do a podcast? It's not a regular thing though is it? When should we be expecting the next podcast? Podcast. Podcast. Podcast. PODCAST...... Pretty please 🙏
Are you guys ever afraid of the dark? You ever out there in the middle of nowhere and getting like serial killer vibes? Like I'm afraid of the dark - if I can't see it I just assume Freddy, Jason, randomly Ducky from The Land Before Time, a handful of Gorn, like everything is out there in the dark - that would scare the crap out of me.
Depends on how you use it, it’s super bright but would probably need a bigger modifier than the pop out softbox, you can see them in the map wall set as rim lights on each of us.
Do you guys ever dream about taking a spontaneous, uncalculated, and undocumented vacation, or does that take away your fun? Just wondering. Or, do you and just not tell us about it? 😎 👍 🥂
Awwwwww! Thanks for the shout out friends! I'm happy to be your sound guy and your friend!

Once again you provide useful advice and deliver it in a very accessible way!
Love the BTS of how you were able to make such amazing vids with limited resources and make it look killer. Also yes Dunna the man 😁
I loved the tent setup the most. I think its awesome you used the bug netting to cut light on the outside.
I think that was one of my faves too, it’s always interesting lighting something that’s basically outside. A fun change!
We love how technical you guys are. Thanks for providing so many helpful tips!
Lights tends to be hard for me to get spot on but this really added a few new ideas and tools! Love you guys as always!
Loving these regular uploads. Been really into the helicopter series too. You guys should definitely do more gear breakdowns like this. Shaping light is the one of the most important things for photo/video, looks like that little light does a great job, especially when paired with the S3!
Here under the first 10 mins let's go babyyyyy

This was a great BTS breakdown!
what a dynamic duo husband and wife team. love from malaysia

Oh this is an instant watch for SURE
More interior design vids chick, you're good at it and what got me watchin. Love
You're closet build got me started
loved every shot and have been so excited for this video ever since watching the series!! loved every second
Your manner of presentation about New technologies is really fantastic. I like it a lot.
I love your guys videos. Y’all are amazing
Your video quality and aesthetic is always so crisp! I love it!
Your videos are always cool, and I like the dark theme in your videos its awesome 👌😎👏

Ooooooh this twas nice!!! Loved the breakdown especially for a small kit to travel with. The thought of having a mobile studio is dope! 🔥🔥
Going on my honeymoon in March! I got my fiancee to watch the helicopter series and now I got approval to get the setup after we pay for wedding! I like how affordable it is but also very pro looking.
Super handy as I’m travelling very soon to Sweden/Lithuania and needed a portable lighting setup, thank you guys! 🙏🏻
The visuals are just sooooo goood! Great job guys!
wewh that's a really compact lighting setup! love the breakdown too
Nice Tuxes!!

These BTS videos are phenomenal and quite informative for us, soon to be RUclipsrs -- Thanks, Becki and Chris ✌🏼
The shots turned out soo good! thanks for breaking down the lighting setups!
Yay!! I have been waiting for this video since you mentioned it in your helicopter series! Thank you so much. I've been trying to figure out how to shoot sit-down videos while traveling, and this is super helpful.
Excellent! Yeah this light has been a really great addition to the kit especially for this type of use!

This one should answer all your questions!

As always great content and knowledge sharing 👌🙏
I think for the light you could use a mono pod with a tripod base. Not sure if that could balance though.
I did not know that lighting matters thiiiiiissssss much. Well at least we are learning from the best of there. Thanks :)
Lighting is soooo important and often gets neglected!
I need that backdrop
Are you wearing Glerups?? Your shoes! 🤫 I got my wife some for Christmas and I tried on a pair myself to make sure I was getting the correct European size ... and I loved them.

Oh your portable lighting set up was rad too! 😊

Would you recommend some of these lights when doing something like top down product photography?
What lapel mic did Dunna recommend? I see you’re using the Aspen. And I think you and Dunna should figure out some ways to collab!
He recommended the deity W.lav pro I think it was! We should! We’ve done a few in the past, hopefully we will be able to be in the same city sometime soon.

Is the light only good for small interviews/spaces or could u away with using it in a bigger space with multiple ppl?
Depends on how you use it, it’s super bright but would probably need a bigger modifier than the pop out softbox, you can see them in the map wall set as rim lights on each of us.
