Make Your WARHAMMER LOOK BETTER

[@RogalDorn01]

I can't unsee how you literally called this video what you called it so that Warhammer would be in the title despite the fact that that this is just a super cool photography vid in general!

[@MSPaints]

Eeeeeeyup! Haha

[@cabe_bedlam]

I work in a prod studio and my term for "Fake Aesthetic" is "Media Wank". All of our producers have MacBooks, all the developers and the like use Windows.

[@MSPaints]

Media wank! Amazing! Added to the vocab, thank you!

[@TCRP117]

SG1 spotted in the background. Great video once again! This close to reinstalling Deus Ex after hearing the UNATCO HQ theme.

[@Valreg]

Dig this style of instruction. Feels like your cousin or uncle who is really good at what they do teaching you a difficult subject in a practical manor.

[@MSPaints]

For sure! I only really understand from doing so I guess that’s basically the setup haha

Dave, you brilliant, wonderful human being! You literally fixed all my miniature related photo problems with a 17min video! AMAAAAAZING!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!

[@samhoban2509]

Dave’s got more sides than a dodecahedron! You’ve got a head filled with cool $#!T, Dave. Thanks man

[@MSPaints]

Haha, cool and semi useless!

[@HeftyOwl]

Every time I see games in your studio I just nod in approval. You have quite the curated collection of absolute gem titles. The Mystery of the Druids (droods) in another video had me laughing but you owning Infinite space took me back. One of the most unique games for the DS if you ask me. Any ways I'm proof that the subtle shots of the studio are just as engaging as the content you are explicitly presenting.

[@geekfreak69]

That’s the best understanding of photography that. I’ve ever seen thanks Dave. Awesome video.

[@WulvenKraft]

AT LAST !!! Someone finally managed to discuss cameras in a way that I could understand! I've been trying to learn & every time I listen or read nothing goes in, it's all just noise. Thank you for finally putting it in me hahahahaha.

[@MSPaints]

Aye, took a long time for me to understand too. Just had to trial and error!

[@ronnocrd]

Awesome advice dude, my favourite little 360 vids of my minis are filmed with a blurry background shot of my workspace and an obligatory out of focus shot of my cup of tea (in a union jack cup just to be extra British lol) I also like making little photography boards (about 40 x 30 cm), a little terrain and a monitor with some background on it sat behind and you can make the minis look like they are immersed in a whole different world :)

[@TomsTabletopBunker]

Thanks Dave for translating all the stuff I don't understand about photography (which if I'm honest is a great deal). Brilliant video 👍

[@ThatJakers]

Worth several rewatched. Cheers mate.

[@retrorambles517]

Very informative One must make best use of the tools they have

Watching Stargate SG1 in the background 👌subbed.

[@stephenrenwick8781]

Great video with sound advice. I have a DSLR but really just use my phone for my blog photos...simply because I can faff, crop and upload all in one go.

[@tuvaaq]

It's just so easy in comparison, it's no wonder the consumer camera industry is dead. Phone integration with DSLR's is a royal pain, wish they'd just add SIM support and cloud backups.

[@biggoldfish8747]

Smidgeon was his word of the day

[@mr08evox]

Dave, I love the Geek Gaming product placement. That’s awesome.

[@contrastinghobby]

Late to the party on this video but love the advice here. Have taken all my mini photos on my phone purely as that is what I have but might be an option to change to to a cheap SLR as you mentioned. Some solid tips there as well especially with the background, I just take photos on top of my bbq so if it isn't being lazy then I will take that as a technique haha

[@JRobb84]

Thanks for this video, I stopped photographing my minis because it was driving me daft trying to get half decent pictures. I will say those cheap Amazon light boxes are utter crap too!

[@astrozombiac3535]

0:42 changed his wording, as to not offend the machine spirit

[@Himle_]

Interesting and informative! While I usually use my newer Nikon DSLR's with a macro lens to take photos. Honestly my old Nikon D60 (from 2008?) works flawlessly. I did use my phone, but was never really happy with the end result. Also, putting the camera on a tripod instead of holding it, makes me waste a lot less photos.

[@LaBibliotecaEterna]

Thanks for the tips/tutorial, I will be making a mini video in the near future and it has been really helpfull.

[@MSPaints]

Glad it helped! Good luck

[@LaBibliotecaEterna]

@@MSPaints thanks !

[@euansmith3699]

The bit about the psychological element in photographing your minis is very interesting. 4:53 Has Health & Safety Frog returned?! Or is this a sad reminder of happier times?

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Apart from my cheap and not very cheerful mobile camera I normally fall back on a even cheaper Fuji DSLR - which if memory serves me correctly is about 20 years old and works great on scenic shots, especially when following Red Deer about the Highlands, when I can see them that is?

[@mattyredlocks]

Little late to the party, but great video man. Best (and quickest!) explanation I've seen for DoF on minis. Keep up the good work!

[@samhoban2509]

Thanks again for another gem, Dave. Idk wtf half of what you said means, but will it stop me from watching it? No.

[@MikeBeals]

Thank you for this video, I think you may have solved some issues I was having photographing my stuff, my depth of field was real touchy and all over the place . I think I just need to move the camera back to get more in focus.

[@KrippledKracka]

Glad to see a new upload my brother. Keep on krackin and puttin out that good good content.

[@MSPaints]

Cheers mate! Still going as strong as I can! Haha

[@jongrantminiatures]

[@Llew2u]

thanks man, i just finished my hero quest minis pretty proud of the job and was thinking I want to show them off, Serendipity you post this. going to follow this.

[@myzri3557]

Great info. Photography is something I've always seen as witchcraft, thanks for shining some light on it.

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

Class tutorial man cheers. Really struggle with lighting in my vids. I need some of those big ass lights.

[@spice6828]

Great tips. Also, SG1, a man of culture I see.

[@MSPaints]

Ooooh gonna be a lot of that in the background going forward

[@matthewrpenny1]

Great video, some good information, but still doesn't click in my head (100% my problem... not the video) I have a fuji finepix sl240, better than a compact, but not a DSLR, would I have any joy with that, or better off sticking with my phone (galaxy note 10+) Great vid again, the cameo from H&S 🐸 brought a tear to my eye.

[@MSPaints]

You should be able to have some fun with that camera. Watch out for chromatic aberration if you’re shooting against a white background, but otherwise I think it’ll do! The note 10 is proooooobably an all round better camera… but probably also isn’t as interesting

[@davidtuck8584]

Great video Dave, hope you are doing well. MS has got to my walking and Ocuvis has given me hives, so I told it to bee off, without success. Got to laugh !

[@MSPaints]

Absolutely! People don’t know laughter is the best cure until they have to rely on it! Respect

[@JeffBarberDigideus]

This was a cool video and I actually remember reading all this stuff about aperture length and focus when I bought my first (crap) SLR from my mums catalog in the 80s. (it was a Zenit 35mm SLR with a basic lens and I had a flash unit and filter holder for the lens so I could make metal things look cool with light glinting off its reflective bits). I lost the camera somewhere in Norwich when my mates played at a pub called the Oval in the 90s. thanks for reminding me of cool times, but I have to ask WhErE iS tHe FrOg?

[@SHINdanny]

You´re right, health and safty is in danger, imagine if those big light boxes fell on your head. Hector might recommend wearing a helmet

[@jasonfrederick6564]

great tips

[@originalbaxio]

So looking at the lighting setup at the start of the video, looks like warm yellow lamps for background lighting and cool white LED lights for spotlighting?

[@MSPaints]

Just one colour temperature throughout bud! Think I was all daylight for Eve thing, 5500K ❤️🐸

[@originalbaxio]

@@MSPaints thanks for clarifying! Still don't understand LED lights 100%. I was trying to get a matching downlight for my kitchen. It said "ice" on the box but it turned out yellow. In the end I noticed 4400k on the old bulb so googled for one with that on and it matches :) will look for a 5500k one for my spotlight and try this tutorial :)

[@MiciaSger117]

Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing what you produce with Unreal 5. Will we see some jurassic scenes for make seraphon great again?

[@wardaddyminiatures]

What's the Retro ultramarines project? Are they the minis from the last vid unboxing the car boot haul?

[@alritchie2162]

Great video! Always get excited when I see you have a new one out. I like the idea of using a bit of smoke to help mask my badly painted minis but I may need to burn my house down to make enough smoke to hide all the mistakes. My wife might be a little pissed off. 😂

[@elstonation]

Nice video dude. I'm gonna use some of these tips for an upcoming video also love the lighting ideas

The Sony lens isn't a 16mm 2.8 is it ? Or the 16-50?

[@MSPaints]

Yeah it’s the 16mm. Pretty dirty but so useful.

[@itsalwaysfunnyinphiladelph8885]

I'm tempted to pick one up as they're nice and small but I already have the Zeiss 16-70 so I think it might just sit in a drawer. If you're after other primes for Sony the newish af viltrox lenses for e mount are very nice.

Hi Dave I’m wondering if you can help me, I have acquired an epic ork great gargant 1988 but mainly resin. I can’t find much information other than not many were made. Do you know anything about this gargant ?

About the same as you, bud! Only that very few were made. I think squidMar did a video on one if I’m not mistaken.

Can I use the cheapest shitty-ass vape I can find to make smoke? I have a couple of friends who always have new vapes everytime I see them, so I assumed the cheap ones don't last but I don't vape so haven't got a clue. Still cool though when someone blows smoke on the table when a unit is destroyed!

Yeah disposable would do it. I think they have ones designed to make big clouds. I usually haze up the place a bit while I’m shooting.

Great stuff! I was inspired to use your coloured lighting idea in my latest video (apologies for the shameless plug kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGnbnp-kYqhjjZI). A budget tip for tinted lighting is to stick a solid colour on your phone screen and then turn the brightness up to full.
