LOL! Not bad for a 20 year old, eh? I swear one day I'm road tripping to Utah (I think) for a day and throwing down some stuff with Curtis Judd, heading through Colorado for a day and shooting some stuff with Dave Dug, and heading down to (Arizona, right?) and shooting some rediculosity with you. It's on my bucket list. :)

It is well deserved. Back in my days in community cable TV I had to teach these things to volunteers. (Prior to any mastery of the skills on my own part). And it can be really difficult. Now you have people who are trying to be one man bands on the internet. They need a functional understanding of lighting, cameras, tripods, audio systems, presentations and so much more. The entire profession is demeaned if well intentioned people go out and produce back media. If they're going to do it (or we're going to do it) let's give them the skills to do it well.

Are the students buying? If so, I'd start them off with some Home Depot $6 lamps, some diffusion, and a bunch of different K color lights and some gels. They'd learn a lot doing that. For school use, tough one. I'd have to say maybe some film lights that they could get used to, so they a familiar with them. I can make suggestions with links if you want.

You’re frikkin awesome! Most older guys I watch for filmmaking tips are boring and just blabber on a lot. But you, noooo. You taught me sooo much and were so entertaining. Audio was amazing and editing was very enjoyable. I can tell you put a lot of work into these videos. I subbed! :) I’m looking into getting my first soliddd light. I got cheaper Color Temp. Adjustable youngnuo lights for 60 bucks with Sony npf batteries and they worked well for me but I am wanting to upgrade. Battery powered, travel friendly, quick set up time, and ease of use is most important for me. I do video production including weddings, testimonials, interviews, small business videos, and so on. What light or light kit would you recommend? The Aputure mini20d’s look nice.

@BasicFilmmaker

The Mini-20s are awesome, my only complain is the fans which can kick on and if they're close to the mic, it's not good. If you keep them away from the mic, they are awesome. So far, my favorite lights are the Tri-8 kit. Expensive, but I love them. amzn.to/2SSHQkd

Thanks for putting this together I enjoyed the approach to all the concepts - particularly interested in your upcoming review and impressions of the Aputure Mini 20 fresnel lights as I have been dithering for months over those rather than LED Panels but perhaps oyu might propose where those could be of benefit? Also considering the similar Boltzen fresnels and the Calibre fresnels all around the same pricing. Thus far Im put off by reports of noisy multispeed fans in the aputures and veering towards the Boltzen 30W !!

I'm also very interested what the light effect you can create using the 3 mini lights without diffusion because I like film noir/lighting from the 40's but I need to be able to provide soft lighting as well
