Thanks Jas! Trying to keep it simple, because it doesn’t have to be complicated!

Incredible thanks. With no formal background in video, it’s been a blast learning to create spaces to provide the viewer with a certain experience. As a musician it reminds me so much of a buddy who was excited to play a few songs he wrote…they sounded awful on his iPhone, but was kind. I took him in my home studio and began re-recording a song of his, but professionally. His eyes just lit up with excitement from the first guitar take.

I'm surprised you recommend to position yourself in the middle rather than off to the side (like in photos). I find it helps to change positions left to right in the frame to reset viewers attention and also helps with text overlays. You've got me thinking about using a corner angle rather than a flat wall where I hang my backdrop...thoughts?

@benjohnsoncreative

3 жыл бұрын

Try out the corner angle, cool thing about shooting in the middle is that’s typically where the lens is sharpest and you could crop in post to position yourself on either side or leave in middle

@Drostvideo

@@benjohnsoncreative ok thx for the tip...filming in a corner angle makes sense in terms of using leading lines and adding some depth. Curious about your thoughts of using a colored background (like you have) versus a backdrop such as a wall hanging (which is what i currently use) or shelves? It probably depends on your audience
