Nice stuff. Love the simple setup. I have moved to a Intellitech RGB light matte that folds down to a 12x12" form. I have it in a wheeled backpack with seveal other lights so it is a compact kit.

Great advice! Bounced light is a great fill. Although tube lights are not “essential” they are small and easy to set up and can help with character separation. Another light I love that is small and useful is a screw in color bulb to control background lamps. Foldable negative, white, silver, and diffusion systems from companies like Westcott are super useful too!

It wasn't worth it for me. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but next time, I'm going to hire an experienced person who can manage Google's ad ecosystem. Google made it sound too easy. lol.

Awesome video with great information. I am currently in production of a documentary, and needed some insight and got some ideas from this video. I really like the filming in silence you talked about that’s a great idea. Also the deep thought or time for editing is so important. How do you feel about narration for a documentary? I am considering it but I just feel I might not need it, lol. Just maybe thinking too much. Anyway, thanks for the video and ideas.

Important to acknowledge: no matter which party is elected, the forces that finance party A (let's say the current winner) AND party B are the real winners. No matter which party is elected. It is crucial to understand that political parties are not those in power but those who pay them. We do not have any democracy, never had. It's corporatocracy or technocracy. Where were all those investigative "critical" journalists in the midst of the PLANDEMIC? What happened to really critical journalists like Julian Assange? Etc.

Since you are giving me your opinion.. I will give you mine. Go out and talk to Trump supporters. You are in a liberal super bubble in CA. Get out and travel to the heartland of America and get their take. You express a very hard leaning progressive bias and you come across as only open to the opinions you agree with. Trump isn't perfect, but he's no dictator. He was democratically elected by a near landslide by the American people. He gained in popularity among minorities and increased his margins within ALL voting blocks except college educated white women. Why is that? With that said.. I love your channel and I've learned a lot about doc filmmaking. I appreciate your view point and honesty. I encourage you to challenge your own bias. I'll do the same. Happy filmmaking.

For the mainstream media news outlets in particular - Over the past year I have been disgusted by the 'journalism' surrounding the Gaza genocide. Medical professionals, fellow documentarians, journalists, aid workers, civilians and children slaughtered but presented with a sugar coating of downplayed wording and victim blaming. When I see a headline that is clearly refuted by the video evidence at hand it becomes very hard to trust that news is coming to us without bias. I would love to know your thoughts on the journalism of war, propaganda and a documentarians role in all of this if major news outlets and employers seem to be printing and running motivated campaigns.
@austinmeyerfilms 14 күн бұрын
Is there any particular story that you're thinking of when you share this frustration? It's tough for me to comment on mainstream media's coverage of the war as a whole, because that is so broad. I know journalists risking their lives in war zones. On the other hand, there is reporting that doesn't live up to the standards I would hope for. So of course it's varied.

@ (I do like your content and I am subscribed btw. I also love that you’re a vegan and fight for animal rights. Not a fan of this political nonsense though.) I’m sure there are many terrible truths that can be brought to light about any candidate, possibly even the one you voted for. And I’m sure any of those candidates would hate the journalists who exposed them. You’re just coming across as upset Trump won when you didn’t want him too AND said he doesn’t like journalists. I really I hope you didn’t vote for him, that would be a crazy plot twist!
@austinmeyerfilms 14 күн бұрын
I appreciate you being here and sharing your thoughts. They are definitely noted. No candidate is perfect. And no documentary filmmaker or journalist is either. I just hope we're all trying our best. And this is a moment in which me trying my best looked like me reflecting on the values that I think about in my own craft. Like I said, not only do I have no incentive to make this video, I actually have negative incentive. I've already lost subscribers since posting it, which is completely fine. I also lose followers when I talk about animal rights. But that's who I am. So as much as YT and YT's audience would like me to become a full time KZbinr, putting out videos every week reviewing free camera equipment after not using it on any professional jobs in docs or journalism, I think that niche is pretty covered :)

I would ask that you just pay attention to what occurs, rather than what Trump's political enemies have said and done. Keep investigating and showing the truth. According to the major media, Trump was a Russian asset, Trump is a racist, Biden was sharp as a tack, his son's laptop was Russian disinformation, Trump said that there were fine people on both sides, that he is an insurrectionist, etc,., etc. Repeating lies from the left is not being a documentarian.
