I work for an architecture firm as their media production specialist and I am 100% a one man band. Challenging at times for sure.

I really appreciate how you show everyone that there's more than one way to light a project. Almost every video has a different technique. It's awesome that you're willing to take risks to get the right lighting every time. Thank you, as always, for sharing!

I appreciate it! I am in very good position after buying so many lights and gear. Now I can get creative with what I have. Thank you for supporting the channel from the start!

I'm always amazed at how good a simple F22C can look, and it's so simple especially for a one-man-band shoot.

Never knew the Sidus app had a light meter. That's a win!

Thanks for showing us the F22c as an interview keylight. I was hoping to try one out but was worried about the limited size and output. How would you say it performs on your shoots?

If you are not fighting windows it does great!

I’m learning a lot from your videos, especially about matching the color temperature on your lights. How do you set white balance in your cameras?

nice work! I get to work a lot as one man band for dentists exclusively now, I'm editing one now lol I used to do music videos but since covid the artists can't afford them anymore, but It's keeping me so busy I have no time anymore for anything else. good point with the truck! or you can put a sign on your van that says Sewer Inspector or Fresh Fish. no one will break into those lol

what are your light stands? its hard to find a decent light stand that isnt a c-stand

I don't know what Piotr uses, but I got a used Matthews B387487 light stand (spreader stand) for $35 at my local used camera store. The stand itself weigs around 7 pounds (so much lighter than a C Stand) and has a claimed capacity of 20 pounds. I also picked up a couple of Impact LS-96HABI that are pretty good, and again, bought them used for about $35 each. You might also look into the Kupo Classic Stand, which has a claimed capacity of 22 pounds and weighs under 6 pounds. I am sure there are others.

So these are Matthews Medium Duty Stands. They have a few options for size. But they are way better and cheaper than c stands.
