FULL Behind the Scenes of Filming a Food Video at Home

[@AngryBroccoliRecipesVegan]

This video has 0 dislikes and it better stay this way. The amount of work that you had to do is incredible. I love your attention to details!

[@figandlight]

Thank you! Very kind of you 🙏

[@SoumitaDas-fk3qo]

Loved this so much! Very few people actually show such detailed behind the scenes. But honestly, I was hoping to see the behind the scene of that awkward stare part because that was my favourite haha! Lastly, you have a lovely studio space and kitchen.

[@figandlight]

that awkward stare was the behind the scenes hahah thank you so much! I appreciate that

[@binny_binbin]

Thank you for curating and offering us such quality content. I have NO experience in photography, but I've always had an interest in it since I've been surrounded by it since my days in design school. I've always wanted to obtain this look and feel I've had in my head and your content has sparked a newfound drive to actually make it tangible within photography (or, at least in your techniques that I can apply to what I know/have). Can't invest in some of the equipment now, but I know I'll build up to it as I learn more and start with what's available to me. Thanks again for sharing your craft and knowledge!

[@figandlight]

Appreciate that Alvin, thank you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions

[@binny_binbin]

figandlight thanks so much for offering that! I’ll definitely reach out via socials if any questions come my way!

[@Baker2P]

I love your channel. Very simple and easy to follow 😊😊♥️

[@KeepingItRelle]

I thought I was the odd ball out setting the focus on my camera by sticking my hand in the frame. Glad to see I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing!

[@figandlight]

for sure, definitely a great little trick to get focus efficiently haha thanks for watching!

[@kawashimaeve]

You are one of the very best instructor so far! very clear details.

[@carloscast1]

As a beginner, I am learning a lot from your videos. Keep them coming.

[@Hmhieu]

Your video has broadened my understanding a lot. Thank you for your contributions to the community !!!

[@raysopal6]

I've been watching your videos for a month and I'm learning so much. I want to learn more about video and this is invaluable to me. Thank you!

[@figandlight]

Thank you Rachel! I'm glad they're helping

[@melodiesoflifeee]

Your videos are fantastic! So helpful - they've answered a lot of the questions I've been having for the past while! I'm so happy I found your channel. :D Thank you!

[@kiathaolifestyle3117]

Again. The quality and knowledge gained from you sir, deserves for this to be paid for info! ♥️ Thank you!

[@cicifl1757]

I checked the links to the tripod head but it’s the same link as the kupo receiver. Can you share what gear head you used to be able to adjust your camera in the c stand? Thanks!

[@onuchcha]

Wow...Great, I love it! I did like mostly your camera pod/stand, which was is great as a tool's idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@rameezchougle4252]

What a work mate....commandable tutorial.... sharing is caring

[@yummyforadam7485]

This was honestly so helpful, binging through your videos today, gonna do some prep and start actually doing some of this stuff soon

[@figandlight]

That's awesome! Looking forward to seeing it!

[@yummyforadam7485]

@@figandlight I started playing around with hard light mixed with soft light today actually, mixed results but something to explore for sure

[@sadisfoodbites]

Hi, I have seen so many KZbin videos on the topic but none were as useful and easy to understand as yours, So well done to you!!. I have a question to ask, can I connect my iPhone to my Mac while making video to look at it like you are doing it with your camera...?

[@PrimaDonnaCrafts]

So well made and explained

[@georgewere2970]

Great video! What was the big softbox you used? The link posted says product unavailable. Thanks! 👍

[@RobinWalrecht]

Amazing video, thanks for creating such a detailed and fun way to get insight into creating food videos! I was wondering how you handle focus and camera settings. Do you use manual focus? :)

[@stylishlygrwn614]

I’m not even done watching the video (about halfway through) but I just wanted to pause to say, “THANK YOU”!!!!! This is amazing and I’m learning so much! 💎💎💎💎💎

[@koalitycooking2782]

Loved the video mate! Was just wondering what kind of software are you using to view your cameras shots on your computer? I have a Sony and the screen doesn't fold out so it drives me nuts trying to set up my focus lol

[@AaronMarasigan]

hes using EOS Utility which is for Canon but you can do the same with Sony with Imaging Edge Desktop

[@aiyanamorgan8144]

what is the metal tripod stand you're using? I don't see it linked, a few of those links are actually broken :(

[@mszhaochinese]

Same question here, where to buy the metal tripod

[@ShanShenShin]

thanks for the video! how did you attach your laptop and get the live view?

[@anavamor5449]

Love the process!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@figandlight]

[@mannymota3442]

I don't so video, but I really, really like this style of instruction when you do it. I think that I get far more ideas this way because I'm asking questions of myself rather than having to listen closely. Thanks.

[@figandlight]

Hm. thats really good to know, thanks for the feedback Manny!

[@justpixelating]

I am so glad I found this channel

[@anaara9432]

Loved the video! Do you have a video showing how you edit your videos? which software?

[@AaronMarasigan]

6:41 hahaha to say that this is a great video would be an understatement!

[@IpinIsAmazing]

This is amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making the video(s), i learn a lot.

[@capableofgreatness8804]

[@kimannale]

Oh, you are master. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you! I like your video. Excellent.

[@jcparedesc]

Great video! Keep up the good work! 🎉 One question, what software did you use on your computer to see what you were filming?

[@figandlight]

Thanks! EOS Utility

[@lifewithzina3451]

I love your approach to everything!! Lol thank you!!!

[@tiskitchen]

This is so cool 😊thanks for sharing your talents!

[@tahsenaakter5689]

[@figandlight]

Thank you Tahsena! This was a bit more time consuming to make so maybe not anytime soon will I make more on this subject, but will definitely not close the door!

[@tahsenaakter5689]

Thankx for ur reply. U r a very good teacher though. Hope soon or later I can learn more from you. Best of luck.

[@noodlebrains]

Great video, not many people show the movements of the camera and changing of lenses like that

[@videomakingpassion4828]

Nice video. instructive for some types of shooting. I will steal some of the techniques for my videos. Fantastic video compliments

[@AntreasChristophides]

Love the video! what program did you use to preview the video feed?

[@figandlight]

Thank you! I used EOS Utility 3

[@dangreef1710]

Absolutely stunning, thank you

[@light_and_stories]

Once again, great video! May I ask what system are you using to mount your camera on the c-stand?

[@figandlight]

Thank you Arianna! Of course, I use the Kupo 5/8inch receiver and the MeFoto tripod head, but you can use any tripod head with that thread size. I updated the description with the links to these items, but here they are as well: Kupo 5/8inch Receiver: amzn.to/3dDjswO Tripod Head (Not what I use, but will work just as well): amzn.to/3dDjswO

[@rahulrg03]

Marvellous really appreciate your work bro 👍

[@vivekbhargavv]

This is absolutely brilliant. I got a few questions please do answer when you got time. Would really help to understand First of all I have learnt a lot of insights and gained knowledge from this video. Super thanks for this video, it’s really helpful. 1. Since a single camera is being used, How long did you totally take to shoot the video? 2. What was the approximate recording or filming hour? 3. What’s the camera and lens you used for this? 4. Please name the light that you used 5. Any link for the tripod? 6. Finally what’s the dimension of your table 🙏🏼🤩

[@WELLROOM-hq3qk]

Hi, really loved the video! Very good! The question: how many times do you get to make the same toast to get all the coverage you need? It seems like it's more than 1 time, may be 2-3?

[@KiranKumari-et4zg]

It was really hard then expected but it was really awesome ❤️ enjoyed your video 👍

[@88kajin]

Man!! You are amazing!!! 😊

[@figandlight]

Thanks Kajin!

[@lucytd]

Love it!!! I’m learning to film with Static Shots and KZbin leads me right to your video. This is really helpful! ❤ Could you do some example of shooting a vlog with Static Shots for beginner as well? 😁

[@BenjeevRendhava]

This is brilliant, thanks for the video! Super informative. Assuming it's all shot in 4k to allow for punching in/out etc in post?

[@abduyaree]

Hey, this B Roll is amazing! I love your video on how to make more engaging b rolls. You should make a part 2! I have a quick question. I seen that you use the SL 60W. I shoot the same sort of content as you (Mainly food) and was wondering is the SL60W powerful enough? I am planning on getting the SL100d (Only $35 more, much more powerful and newer light) which I will use as a key light. Which would you recommend, SL60W or SL100D?

[@remareem9]

My god, so much fun watching this!

[@figandlight]

Thank you Reem!!

[@mopikozz]

Thanks for sharing! good content! Are we able to film similar setup using the iphone thou

[@Diana197897]

Nice video, could you please tell me what kind cable did you use to connect from your camera to your computer

[@alicegoursaud1534]

hi, thank you very much for this video, which micro do you use to have a good sound when you are cooking ?

[@ettorsanayep4376]

Where did you get/buy that skinny 'metal tripod' looks like it does everything I need to do! Thanks homms

[@mas_bro316]

Great👍👍 Your explanation is easy to understand. I hope next time maybe you can do live stream QnA about food photography and vid 😁

[@figandlight]

Thank you! I'm already planning to go live exclusively for my Patreon page, but I haven't decided yet if I want to do it for KZbin. I will keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion!

Question: Where did you pick up that boom stand setup?

[@easyfoodrecipes405]

Fantastic video👍

[@maciaka]

What kind of mount is this? I mean, what is the camera attached to on that movable arm?

[@PunnuCooks]

I just started making videos on KZbin. Its innocent dream ive fostered for almost a decade but im starting, thats what matters. Thank you for this. I hope someday i can do something like this, for now i will operate from the little equipments i have ❤❤

[@figandlight]

You got this! Glad my content helped

[@earlybirds915]

Do you play and pause whenever u need to or you shoot everything and discard the unnecessary part?

[@markdashark4350]

Awesome vid. How were you able to use your laptop as a monitor? I have tether cables and I use a fuji XT-3. Thanks.

[@vocabularyoffood]

Hey! Thanks for this incredible video. It must have taken you so long to film. What is the attachment that you have on the camera that allows you to rotate it? Why do you film upside down?

[@dbal_3d]

Hey! Thanks for your awesome content. May I ask what is that mount you use to fix your camera to the mic tripod?

[@figandlight]

it’s called a “Kupo” adapter. there are lots of variations you can find online.

Hey pal. What’s the piece called that attaches to the c-stand and holds your camera for overhead shots? I’m looking to purchase!
