Chris Franklin , I was thinking about that. How would that work with a BMPCC with manual focus? Keep both cameras both horizontal so they’re always at a constant focal distance? I didn’t get a chance to see the other tutorial, but I’m guessing they used auto focus cameras.

@ChrisFranklinJr

4 жыл бұрын

Todd Lloyd Yeah in the other one, they used two autofocus cameras! But for the BMPCC, edelkrone offers a focus module that lets you set focus points and it will automatically pull focus for you! An expensive solution, but a solution. Either that or you can not shift the plane of focus too much!

Your content is perfect...the tone, the process, and the story. I was planning on picking up a edelkrone, but have had some concerns about their motion control kit. What’s your experience with it? My use case is a two person couch interview series, and I am pretty much going for your setup with the BMPCC 6k with motion control

Chris: I noticed you were using your soft box for hair light. I typically always use barn doors, hard light not diffused and direct that light at a 45 degree angle over their left or right shoulder. I notice that by directing that hard light source to the back of my subject it makes them “pop” more out of the frame and appear even more three dimensional. Have you ever tried using backlight on your subject without diffusion?

Спасибо, чувак. Это очень полезно

Thanks for the fun video. My strictly personal opinion however, is that short-side lighting looks more pleasing on the face than broad-side lighting. I'd also ditch the promist filter for interviews, unless they're old and request it specifically. Just my 2 cents.

I had a gh5 and a bmpcc 6k but got tired of trying to match their color in post. So I sold the gh5 for another 6k. Much easier when the color science matches so the camera doesn't look off going back and forth. Your set ups look good except one thing that you have in studio but not on location, a background light. Maybe a small aputure light or a couple that you could put in the eye glass case or shining on a wall so the person talking doesn't look like they are in a dark room. Or just for those times when the surroundings are boring.
