Awwwwww! Thanks for the shout out friends! I'm happy to be your sound guy and your friend!

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. ❤

😭 thank you Matt!! That means a lot!

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.

Super appreciate this about lighting and small spaces! We just bought a new house and we go live on KZread 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!

Once again you provide useful advice and deliver it in a very accessible way!

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!

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 😁

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 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!

Oh this is an instant watch for SURE

loved every shot and have been so excited for this video ever since watching the series!! loved every second

Here under the first 10 mins let's go babyyyyy

Dam!!!I just see two video and I'm full of ideas and tips for my KZread journey ❤ Thanks for that motivational and educational videos 🤘🏼

Super handy as I’m travelling very soon to Sweden/Lithuania and needed a portable lighting setup, thank you guys! 🙏🏻

The shots turned out soo good! thanks for breaking down the lighting setups!

what a dynamic duo husband and wife team. love from malaysia

I love your guys videos. Y’all are amazing

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

This was a great BTS breakdown!

Your manner of presentation about New technologies is really fantastic. I like it a lot.

Thanks for posting another awesome video You guys are helping me so much I will watch and rewatch lol

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.

Your video quality and aesthetic is always so crisp! I love it!

The visuals are just sooooo goood! Great job guys!

Really cool - loved the breakdown!!

Your videos are always cool, and I like the dark theme in your videos its awesome 👌😎👏

wewh that's a really compact lighting setup! love the breakdown too

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.

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 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 need that backdrop

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.

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.

I think for the light you could use a mono pod with a tripod base. Not sure if that could balance though.

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.

Would you recommend some of these lights when doing something like top down product photography?

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.

The foil 😮 life hacks

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?

Nice review. Can you compare it to old Elgato Key Light and Godox ES45
