Loved the video! Great tips! If I may chime in, we should also consider how your videos are rendered by KZbin. Gradients will suffer from heavy banding, so be mindful of lighting an empty backdrop or wall. And darker areas are compressed more heavily than brighter ones. So if you're going to go dark, don't use gradients, and fill your background with stuff to break up the effects of the KZbin compression. Basically, the worst thing you can do for KZbin is shoot in front of a big dark purple wall with a gradient. 🤓🤣🤦♂️

Thanks so much! Yesss that’s a great tip! You can totally see banding in that shot of Chris and I against the white background with the plants! Stuff with texture and layers definitely help!

It's SOO interesting that you want cooler tones behind you, you're basically doing the exact opposite of what is best for your skin tone in terms of fashion, makeup, and filming. You look healthier and more beautiful against the warmer tone, you do not "wash out" in any way. The cooler tones make you look paler, less healthy. Contrast might seem good, but it's rarely what's good for PEOPLE and you are a human after all.
@WorkerBeeSupply3 жыл бұрын
I've been wanting to watch this video since it came out, finally did, and loved it!!! We have a small office a short walk away from our apartment and have shot most of our KZbin videos there. We were just chatting about perhaps moving one of our desks to the opposite wall (they're currently side by side) so that we can open the space up for either a KZbin backdrop or small photoshoot space. This video gave me lots to think about and I'm looking forward to checking out the video you mentioned as well about finding your design style for KZbin. Currently, there is *way* too much going on in the background of our videos, simply because it's our workspace. I loved how quickly you put together your tiny sample backdrop using the different types of wood and how you framed with some plants and the long tube bulb. It's great to know the F-stop you use, too. :) Thanks, Becki!
