I’m just getting started in the industry and this video was very helpful with my lighting project for school! Thank you Joel Gabrielsen!

This interview lighting looks absolutely amazing!

Great work! One tiny little note for when you work with an industry crew on a union set. You would call striking when adding a light so you won’t accidentally blind people not when turning the lights off. When turning the light off you would say “let’s 86 that edge light” 86 is when you remove striking is when you turn on the light.

Interesting. I've heard it both ways on many different sets. It's always been striking for turning it on and when asking someone to turn off a light I've heard both 86 that light and strike that light.

@@BransenPass “86 that” is always remove. Doesn’t need to be a light. 86 means remove. “86 that c-stand” “86 that prop” never used as an addition. Striking is used when you are turning on a light pretty much exclusively.

I’m digging the cleanness of the lighting for this conference.

Bro, you just earned yourself a new sub. I appreciate this walkthrough and the breakdown and why you made the decisions you made. And the final footage looked great. You made a solid argument for sticking with the FS5 in that scenario. Kudos!

This was fantastic. thank you for documenting your process.

Thank you very much for this detailed breakdown. I appreciate you walking us through each step and providing the rationale behind your strategies. Also, sharing how you pivoted to deal with the curve balls - getting a second shooter in a pinch and adjusting for a two-person frame in such a small space - was very helpful. Thanks again.

I think there’s to much emphasis put on the newest gear with 90% of the people not utilizing them to their fullest capabilities. I also have two fs5’s and an a6700 and the pairing is perfect for my needs. I have three 4k capable cameras, two that support raw or external 10bit, and one that’ll do 4k 10bit internal. It I need a camera with autofocus, the a6700. But as for the cameras nowadays, the largest benefit I see is going to be autofocus, but only if you require it, otherwise with proper lighting, which should be the primary or secondary focus(audio), then the sensors in the new cameras offer almost nothing more than these fs5’s and their 10 year old sensors.

I think lack of 4:2:2 10 bit in 4K is a big missed opportunity, otherwise you need atomos recorders to achieve the same level of video quality. Something that most cameras like the FX6, FX3 just come standard in the box and older cameras like the FS7 also had 10 bit video internally. The FS5 was kinda forgotten about by Sony it seems.

Nice setup and great walkthrough! The only tweak I would have made is getting the key light up higher to be more eye level vs mounting it low. I get why you did it so it’s more compact and an easier setup, but the soft light feels like it’s coming from below and his nose shadow almost looks like it’s casting upwards, which imo doesn’t feel as natural.

You might have just saved me a ton of expense in a recent camera purchase for some new clients who just like you pointed out aren't so concerned about whether it was shot on RED or not but that the footage looks great and the overall cost of the package is what they can afford.

Love how you breakdown the business side of it and how that influences camera and other hardware/software and professional services choices. More expensive cameras have a domino effect that up to this point I had not considered. Thank you for a great vlog.

I really appreciate this video and I really appreciate that you use the fs5. I love my fs5, I use it for everything. Run and gun, vlogs, commercial work. Sometimes I be wanting something newer but this camera have taught me alot. Especially how not to depend on auto focus. When I 1st got it, I used to see reviews about how bad it was using it in low light. So I had a viltrox 23mm f1.4 apcs lens. It was terrible. Granted I didn't have any lights with it. So I wanted to get rid of it. I started taking things back to the basics. Then I learned about "gain" and switched my fs5 to "gain" and let me tell ya it's a world of different when it comes to low light. Then I started investing in my lights. I got 1 good light and 1 decent light. My footage looks much better. The footage from the fs5 is still beautiful and filled with character.

Thank you, it's great. The only thing I would try is adding a single net to smooth out the face on the one shots. Just to see if it helps.

Really love this setup! I shoot conferences in Australia with my brother and I thought we had a lot of gear.. a couple of light domes, 4 cameras (Canon C100's haha, they're even older!), but this is a whole other level! Love the key light setup for the main interviews, and so impressed with the lite mat for the vox pops outside - I think that adds so much production value to (what could be) a fairly rough and ready vox pop. How does the Rose Garden diffusion work? Does it cast those green/blue/red colours on the subject's face? And why use it over a white one? Just curious cause I'd never heard of it! Keep up the awesome work!

Nice work making the best of the situation. As you mentioned, a net would have helped a lot with the 2-person setup, but I’ve used a flag on the inside of the book light to do the same thing. And, it isn’t as noticeable in eye glasses. Another thought you can explore for your book light setup: angle it a bit lower so you are getting a good amount of bounce from the vertical layer. It helps prevent the hot spot on the talent’s forehead.

So, good points about upgrading cameras and how you'll have to charge higher prices and it will be larger files. It makes a lot of sense that it's not broke, dont fix it. Particularly if you're working with the same clients again and again and they are happy with their camera package.

Thanks, some great ideas and good to be able to see how you accomplish your end result. It would def be better to get a more significant (different) angle of view for 2nd camera and I might have looked at adjusting light positions to see if that were possible. One thought on the hotel's practical stand light, it might be good to carry a stack of different wattage bulbs (ie lower) to get light level down. Maybe if tungsten an in line voltage regulator to reduce power (but messy, likely to offend hotel health & safety etc and may lower colour temp too far). Another option would be to remove bulb and clip or gaff in (possibly plasticine in) a small LED panel (eg Small Rig RGB panel light sub $50) or an expensive Aputure MC Pro (for Sidus Link control like rest of your set-up). Just random thoughts but I'm pretty new to all this and trying to learn.

FS5 looks great! I believe the issue people had with it was the 8-Bit recording and the color science back then. I own the FX6, and it has been great. 4K24p is about 200mbps, which is 2.5 hours on a 256GB card.

Thanks so much! This is true. The 8 bit can be an issue if you don't expose correctly and have to fix it in post. The image will fall apart really quickly. Also if you apply a heavy color grade. Most of the time i'm trying to keep it very clean and it works well. Thanks so much for watching!!!

I do appreciate your skill levels and the fact you know your kit and set up very well. I can't help thinking that book light set up though is highly impractical. If i get told I'm getting a break out room before a conference sometimes i don't even know if they're filled with tables and chairs, i also get no indication of how big the space is. For those reasons i totally downsize, i have a very big parabolic (bounce in) which would take up less than a quarter of that space. Alot of the time there's no budget to get a second shooter so it's all me :) i could probably get all my kit in two wheelie bags, which fit in the back of a car boot. I don't think i could/would ever pull that amount of stuff into a job where i have to be flexible and quick. Not to take away from your amazing set up and system though, it looks a million dollars

I gained a lot of valuable info and insights from this video, thanks for making it so thorough. For the standup interviews (example 19:50) , am I correct in seeing that you essentially just used one key light (looks like a mat light) and then let the ceiling lights kind of serve as a subtle rim light on the shoulders/hair? Or did you sneak a small backlight in there? Thanks.

Hey great video. It just shows how crazy important and crucial lighting is regardless of what gear you have. Quick question tho, it really seems like a hefty setup for a single person. How long did it take for you to setup the whole formal interview by solo-ing and do you usually do it alone?

Good lighting can make the iphone 13 look like a Panavision Gold Package from the 90's, trust me, I've used both. You can create an average looking shot just as easy with a 100,000 dollar camera if your lighting sucks. Lights are EVERYTHING in a production to make it look professional and or cinematic.

Hi Joel from London, UK. Great content. I'm mostly working solo, I'll typically use a very basic setup for lighting - Key light with a Amaran 200X and Aputure Dome II and fill light Amaran 60D with an Aputure Mini Dome ii. I've never used a bounce and T-Bar setup before. Just feels like something that would take me ages to setup. Any benefits compared to the Dome setup? Also, love the use of the light in the plant, so simple but effective! Do you have any tips for when the room is TINY? Recently had a shoot where I had a box room and no depth whatsoever, resulting in a shadow casting onto the wall from a fill light. Not a great look. However, the client was happy as the image was clear and the sound was right and I delivered it within 3 days as requested... but I knew deep down it wasn't a great look. Also, any thoughts on using a lantern dome when lighting multiple subjects?

@JoelGabrielsen

4 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for watching all the way over in the UK! That's awesome! When I have to light so many faces back to back I prefer a big source like a 6x6. This requires very little adjustment in between people. Because everyone has a slight different shape face a big source is very flattering. You also don't need to adjust so much for glasses or bald heads. You can can get a very similar look with a soft box it will just require more thought in placement of the light to make sure it's flattering for each person. I knew going into this project I wouldn't have much gaps in-between interviews so I went with the 6X6.

This might be a question similar to asking your weight, but how much do you charge for something like this? Three day shoot with all that gear! Also tell me if that's lame to ask ;).

Very informative, I wonder if i could get away with using my godox ml60 in this manner while increasing the iso on my sony camera to balance things out. Just one question I'm always worried about setup times and lugging everything around. How much time does it take you to setup lighting and camera gears, do you have any helpers to help you move and setup?

@JoelGabrielsen

4 ай бұрын

For sure!!! I had my 600x at like 60% so you could definitely use a different light. The rose garden 6x6 is also very thick. You could probably use like a half grid or something and still get a similar look. For this shoot. I had about 2hrs to get everything from my van to the conference room ready to setup. Usually, I would want some additional hands for lugging and setup but I had an assistant come a little later to help with additional filming.

Do you ever concern yourself about clothing style? Whenever I shoot corporate, I tend to go with slacks, collared shirt, or if it’s a hipper corporate group/firm, nice dark jeans with like a zipper light sweater top, golf style, pullover. I do a lot of corporate stuff in Cincinnati and I know that this younger generation is trending towards business casual with jeans, expensive dress shoes/tennis shoe look. Just curious.
