Hey, great content, which one is your suggestion for youtube videos? Mostly gaming

[@OneAverageDan]

You are very articulate, concise, educational confident but don't come across as arrogant. Great job man.

[@owen73o730]

your voice is so relaxing. This is very helpful

[@JonathanStrange]

Thats very kind! Since starting KZbin I thought my voice was terrible. This means alot.

[@karlmuster263]

I think facing left vs right makes a difference, with facing right being the better option. Characters in movies deliberately face left to seem villainous, and walking to the left gives a sense of uneasiness. This is also seen in the side-camera example, since facing right gives a sense of progress. Mario levels always go left-to-right. Right is right.

[@papercavegames]

Dude how do you not have more subscribers??? This is a really great video for a beginner streamer. Thank you.

[@Shelma32Reactions]

Your explanation of each angle/type was really simple and easy to understand. Your presentation and voice made it sound so personable.

[@OGSensei]

I did not expect to watch this whole video; came here for camera facts and got that and some laughs. Great video my man!

[@truthstands4ever]

Super helpful stuff, thank you! And the ending was awesome. 😆

[@chonkikage]

Informative and sprinkled with little bits of funny. So good.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

chonkikage i’m so glad. i was nervous

[@ghxstyn]

how tf this isn't a 100k+ channel? production quality is so good

[@RubyCarnival]

As a small streamer that just strating to get into it properly this was a huge help Thank you!!!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

glad i could help!

[@JesScorpi]

enjoyed the psychological breakdown of the type of angles and what they really impose for the viewer. the floating head is the best lol

[@BaYaMhijau]

With the knowledge you're giving us, you deserve more subs. Keep moving foward bro

[@xenoclix]

For a new streamer this is great video....not sure why you only got 570 subs, deserve damn alot more.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

lmao thanks. i'm cool with being a 1-hit wonder

[@xenoclix]

@@SPANISHFOREAGLE the best in the world are usually 1 hit wonders and the ones who always get remembered ;)

[@MrParabellum215]

you a honest straightforward dude, i like that.. instant sub brotha

[@Sayakvids]

normal people: thanks for watching my video this guy: QUACK!!!

[@nanopierogi672]

This is super insightful! I've seen a lot of these but never understood the appeal of some- thanks for breaking it down. I always like the straight on or the 45 degree that you use because they seem more personal and that connection is more tangible, but I can totally see how different angles work for streamers who are streaming for gameplay or action over personality.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

Nano Pierogi thank you. this means a lot

[@BlueLineVibes]

Video is very well made and you definitely deserve more subs on KZbin. However, there was one camera angle you left out. It is starting to become popular as well and that is the camera angle that is further back "behind" the streamer, not even showing the face but the Studio set up (chair, monitors and other webcam) and it shows the streamer talking as if they are on camera facing forward. Now this angle's primary use is only at the very beginning of the live stream or perhaps studio tour if your doing that. Gives the perception that the viewer is behind the player getting things kicking off when the live stream starts. Then the streamer switches angles again to the other angles you mentioned.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

i think _technically_ bird's eye view can cover that, just from a different angle. i guess since we're covering composition, technically it's the farthest distance from the streamer. but yeah i was debating whether i had another name for this 'behind the streamer' shot and thought maybe another video might cover some more angles!

[@BlueLineVibes]

@@SPANISHFOREAGLE Well you did very well explaining the angles in the video. Gave me some ideas as well.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

@@BlueLineVibes thank you! let me know what you come up with

[@blaq_attitude]

funniest dude ive seen this year..hahahahah..Great Video!!

[@vaunslayzez5910]

Appreciate it bro haha after 2 years I never once thought to simply gain some insight on something as simple as webcam placement 😅😂 Thanks!

[@Livingwithdirt]

My man. Loved this video and I love your personality. New sub here!

[@ThePrimarySolution]

I literally spent 3 hours trying different camera angle ideas today while playing, seeing how I looked, the background of my gaming area because I worked hard on it, and the location of the boom arm/mic. I had so much trouble seeing what worked well with where the placement of my body was, the area viewed, compared to where I was looking at my 55 in. TV. I get why people use gaming PCs because the webcam right on top looks better but since I'll be gaming on my PS4 I really am having a hard time.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

haha the struggle is real. i think at a certain point, a lot of people move away from webcams being on their monitors and toss them on tripods or mic arms with adapters. there's so many options. you could also get like a magnifying glass or lens glass to magnify the video but careful which one you use- it might look like a funhouse mirror

[@TrazerOnTwitch]

Absolutely amazing video! Broke it down bit by bit. Overall phenomenal review !!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

thank you :)

[@JonathanStrange]

Bro keep grinding. You are awesome.

[@sophieneeee]

great video! now im inspired to test things out! cant belive how random my camera angle is lol

[@Dangeruss]

Watching in 2023. This video was very good and opened me up to more creative possibilities with just a cheap webcam.

[@davidrusseleg]

love your style and humor

[@HuntmanC68]

I like how you broke this down and explained it!

[@Xman0824]

Lot of helpful tips my guy thanks bro Respect. I subbed looking forward to the next one.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

thank you

[@N3ur0w]

Nice video buddy!!! thanks great job!

[@saoriyaa8166]

This really helped me and was straight up on point. Thank you!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

:) no, thank you!

[@WhiteWhyne]

Thank you very much. Cleared many issues I had.

[@waslosshier]

This video helped me a lot ☺️

[@WayneTheHoncho]

I fw the energy and you gave me some new options on camera angles so you my friend have earned a like and sub

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

[@ladyfreedomsrawnarratives]

Thank you! I really appreciate the input!

[@Jinxmusicx]

This was really helpful! Thank you so much :D

[@bullworkz]

"rip you a new one" ? hehe, nah man this vid was awesome!. I've read that you can expect about 20% of you subscribers to view your video :). You blew that stat out of the water. Nice job! Liked, subscribed, notifications on!

[@tashagotdebo]

This is really helpful man! Thanks!

[@FlyAntelope2500]

Great video man. Thank you for the Viddy 🤙🏽

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

🙏

[@LimaEchoEchoZz]

You deserve so many more subscribers.

[@zwerver6249]

That's a Turkish sweet; Baklava, how does a Spanish guy get a hold of this ? Ty for the video btw you should be way bigger in subs by now, underrated af

[@soapypotatoj]

This was a really great video.

[@Hakeem597]

Yo big homie! Great video bro!!!!

[@obiez9116]

Awesome video just what I was looking for thank you! 😊

[@nuukyplus2821]

So underrated topic! Great video!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

hey thank you. i thought so too!

[@Neverkilltime]

I have the same microphone and I have never seen anyone mount it sideways lol you ever knock the pop filter off by accident?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

lmao. can say i have not. i mounted it sideways so my face wouldn't be blocked as much on stream.

[@Averagehazmat]

U deserve more subs.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

I really enjoyed this video

[@Vinn0001]

Deserves a sub

[@Grinder819]

Great video man! Dropped a Sub and break that wall you did! Hope to see you grow!!!

[@PeterKJRichterIMHO]

I use the Wide Angle - same one I use for vlogging etc (need to get back to that some day LOL), but it works as I have my collection of thing behind me i.e. art, collectables on shelves etc, and my new military beret collection (from when I was "in"), so what you see benind me is... me i.e. the stuff that's who/what I am ;) For streaming I'm still using this angle but may need to re-think it later (after I re-do the PC area - big job!!) and may put the cam elsewhere?? Thanks for sharing!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

that's awesome. glad you got to fill your space with what makes you you. thanks for stoppin by

[@alexxxidlbi]

good job you will be big one day :D

[@AveEndGermany]

really good video to give inspiration.

[@ChickentNug]

That was really well-made

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

thank you!

[@jth3552]

What do you suggest a person should use if they have a camera but don't want to show their face

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

depends on what kind of content they're creating. if playing comp FPS or MOBA for example, a lot of people use a top down shot of their mouse/keyboard. or their cat. cat cams are cool.

[@maxio117]

Nice video dude!

[@killakajilla9419]

Honestly, good stuff.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

Killakajilla i love you

i was eating when i got to your bird poop eye view comment and i choked on my egg smh

[@773Cubs]

Man thanks so much for this video lol

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

thanks for watching. glad i could help :d

[@icanbecuz]

Great overview

[@ElJaxtv]

Hey great vid! What camera are u using to film this?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

Panasonic GH5. completely forgot what lens i was using for this

[@officialDLoKado]

Immediate sub and like. I can digest any information if you're the one explaining/teaching. wowowee, thanks so much for this!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

wowee thank you so much. i would make more if i knew what to make! (that being said, i did start scripting some ideas)

[@officialDLoKado]

@@SPANISHFOREAGLE if we could use some of your BIG photography brain for tips/ideas on better lighting and/or lighting angles. How to use it to our advantage? I struggle with this a lot personally. Your camera examples in this video all seemed ace in that regard. Even the webcam ones lol

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

@@officialDLoKado interesting. i'll see if i can script something out here

[@xXKIKOXx0]

this was a rly gud video :D ! ty u

[@SavageSenzu]

What about field of view, what field of view would you say is the best for the frame?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

tough to answer that one considering i zoom into my face constantly. it depends on what you want to showcase to the audience

[@SavageSenzu]

@@SPANISHFOREAGLE hmm I mean I really wanna just showcase my face but don’t want it to be too far or too close! The Logitech capture offers three different fields of view so I wasn’t sure which I should use and I’ve looked at a ton of other twitch channels and it’s hard to tell which they use!

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

@@SavageSenzu maybe try to think about how much you're in the frame. look up the rule of thirds for photography for example and experiment with a few test streams or recordings to see what you like and don't like. or browse some streams on youtube/twitch to get a gauge of what's out there and steal that. that's what i did

[@MrChipMC]

Weird Algorithm. Recommended me this 9 months old video ) And I've watched it ) Good questions, Good answers

[@EmiFolkMusic]

Nice video, thank you.

[@juanete69]

I have a desktop computer connected to a big screen, and I want to use a webcam for interviews. I can place it on top of the screen (when you look at the monitor your eyes are always down) or under it (you show your nose holes). What is better?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

big screens can be tough for this reason. maybe have the screen a bit further away and put it on top? or if you’re fancy, look into a teleprompter solution so you have direct eye contact with the camera. elgato just dropped one recently

[@jellaelle]

Thank you so much !

[@NBKio]

really useful video

[@AdinYusuf]

How about vertical angle or well vertical straight on? What do you think about it?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

if you mean vertical like how tiktok or IG reels are formatted then yes i'm all for it. the straight-on angle in this format reminds me of CSGO or Valorant events player cameras.. but when i'm tired i look more like Doomguy. my preference as a viewer is minimal camera so i can see the whole HUD for games. i get why certain creators go big on the camera but it's too distracting for me source: guy who zooms in 400% onto face

[@mikebryan7077]

I would like to know what kind of headphones do you use?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

at the time of that recording, I had the Sennheiser HD58X. now I use IEMs only (currently XENNS Mangird Top with the iFi Zen DAC)

[@sylvander4972]

never seen you before.. but... this... is good shiit =)

[@mrgusse]

Nice video, I was looking for a video to get inspiration on possibly changing my stream setup. however, I have another question completely.... what is that chair? It looks really comfy, and I bet it's not too warm to sit in ,is it?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

thanks. it's the Autonomous ErgoChair. i'm not sure if they make this specific one anymore (as i'm looking at their site)

[@tyedutch]

Where did you get your event list from?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

i think it's just streamlabs but i changed the font

[@enemyonmee2293]

what mic and mixer you have bro

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

it's changed a bunch since this video came out. right now SM7B mic and presonus revelator io24 interface

[@bullworkz]

Thanks!

[@fubiki9899]

dude how are you on 600 subs this world is crazy

[@popoporiBN]

thank you =)

[@marquezlive6867]

Nice bro

[@GODSenpaiXD]

that was helpful

[@notptk]

Im so fucking ugly.. I look like shit in all of them.

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

I FEEL THAT. that's why it took like 3 years to make this video. i still have yet to see it

[@DenKeeper]

How do you say your name in English?

[@VillaAdaPosseFan]

what camera r u using bro?

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

depending on the clip it's either the Panasonic GH5 or GH4

[@darinharadika]

im out of focus so its my career bruh thats a shit dark joke

[@jth3552]

let's say the play warzone and on a controller than what? You also don't have a cat. Tbh in comfortable with showing the top half of my face but not the bottom. So I liked the forehead view but I knew it wouldn't work

[@SPANISHFOREAGLE]

i'd go forehead cam like nickmercs style and for the controller (only on PC from what i know) there's ways to show your controller input digitally because the overhead shot can be uncomfortable for some
