    You guys should make a video about lighting in tight spaces. Almost all of your tutorials demonstrate lighting with a long room where you get great DOF and space for lights and modifiers.

    @MichaelSavidgeStoryteller 3 года назад +6

    I love the fact that the gear you used to light this scene can be used for other aspects of making a video.
    For example, the moving blanket you used to cut out some of the key light would come in handy for a DIY vocal booth.

    idk what's with people that have tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera gear and lighting somehow saying that you can take a professional photo with any camera, even a shitty ebay one. tbh people still need good cameras, just not everyone needs the latest $5,000 super decked out future camera with a $10,000 lens kit. you can make do with even a decent $1000 bridge camera with a good zoom range, and it will have all the focal lengths you could ever need and have good enough quality. the best part is it wont be confusing to people that aren't great with cameras.

I showed both images to my friend and he could't tell the difference between the two cameras. I could see some of the finer differences, but overall it was very close.
