I’ve watched several of your videos tonight. Very helpful. Followed you on IG and went to IMDB and see that you have booked a few things since you made some of these videos! Not surprised and good for you!

Also… you just use one light… not lighting from both sides with a ‘hair light’? Just the way my face shape is it’s quite different left and right profiles and shadows on my gace can accentuate that so I don’t know would one light just work for me

I know I'm late to the party here, but I wanted to note that the text comments you added to the clip from The Crown actually detracted from my trying to absorb your points about subtext. The notes about topics like shooting angles may be interesting, but they're not related to the acting choices.

If casting directors want us to tape in our own homes edit the tape and find a reader I’m sorry they should be happy with me recording on my brick Sony Ericsson from 2006. We do half of their job now. They will see and hear me. Period.

Seems like everyone asks for a full body shot. Do you do that with your pop up just sitting in the background, or do you remove it or shoot he full body shot in a different area?

I usually just put my phone in vertical mode, the way we see on social media so we can see head to below the knees. This shows the sides of the backdrop sometimes, but that doesn't bother me - it's all just part of the magic.

Wonderful setup Dan! I was just wondering how you control the audio on your microphone without it clipping or something.
@dantracyoriginals
@dantracyoriginals 2 жыл бұрын
Good question. In this set up I'm either using a microphone plugged into my camera or my phone. Our phones are pretty good at adjusting on the fly to avoid clipping, but if I'm using the mic plugged into my camera then I have to do a rehearsal where I test my loudest volume, and make sure I set the gain correctly.

What is the paper that you put over the square light?

Of course! I use a small piece of 250 Diffusion paper. Its common on film sets and works great as an extra piece softener.

Hi Audrey! A tshirt or pillow case would be perfect to start. You could also look for something called 250 Diffusion paper and that might help too. (that's what I put over my light panels)
