The amount of thought into this lighting setup is insane but definitely pays off. Plus, all that blue and tone in your videos really keeps the focus on your brand. 😅 Smart!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks guys! I definitely love that blue light so I try to use it whenever it makes sense. Sometimes I’ve done different colours like green or red, so it’s just key to use that same colour for the shots if that’s what you’re going for Thanks for checking it out!

[@KaiDown]

Always stoked to see camera+lighting content here, you are the master! 🔥

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Eh thanks so much Kai! I am an absolute nerd for camera/ lighting/ cinematography so any chance I get to make videos on it on this Channel I always take it haha Thanks for checking it out my man!

[@neptun3189]

Yo this shit is huuuuugely underrated my guy. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and workflows

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

No problem at all! I’m glad it was helpful. This is exactly why I make these videos

[@kirillbarr]

glad to see your channel growing 🔥

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Thanks my man. I’m having a hard time keeping uploads consistent but I try to make them whenever I can

[@kirillbarr]

@@BrendonKPadjasek your production and video sequences are top notch, I understand how much work this is and it's really cool that people notice it 🗽

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@kirillbarr thanks so much my man. I do really appreciate that. I do my best with the time I have haha

[@song11artmusic]

Your really good at teaching!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

I’m glad to hear that. When I started this channel I thought I absolutely sucked at it but I feel like I’ve gotten better at it with every video. Thanks for watching!

[@moogle.]

Hey man, just came across your channel and just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your work in Northlane - both bass and backing vocals wise. Looking forward to more great content from this channel and I should probably get around to checking out some Structures too. Cheers

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hey thanks so much for finding the channel and checking it out! I absolutely love those guys. Some of my best friends in the world and they’re such talented musicians and songwriters

[@carloszavala735]

Awesome video dude!!! i can't thank you enough for the info

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

No problem at all my man. I love film making related stuff and part of me wishes the channel was geared towards that instead of music lmao. Jk I love music but yeah. Always glad to share

[@BigfootLIFE]

Fantastic video and solid info as always my dude 🤝

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Eh thanks for checking it out! I keep learning more the more often I shoot so I’ll likely do an updated video ever year/ few months on the topic

[@BigfootLIFE]

@@BrendonKPadjasek of course! Been a huge fan since Structures began and a fellow Canadian 🫡 and that’s what I like to hear always learning!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@BigfootLIFE oh that’s awesome. What part of Canada? And hell yeah. There’s always ways to improve.

[@BigfootLIFE]

@@BrendonKPadjasek I used to live in Vancouver now in Victoria. Forever room to learn

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@BigfootLIFE that’s awesome man! I love it out west

[@Evolji228]

Thank you for the video, Brendon. Funny enough how different could be people's perspective for some things. I'm not even close a videographer or dude from visuals area, so my main goal in watching playthroughs is education. If i don't understand how something works in the song I'm going on youtube and pray all the gods I know that somebody already did a cover or playthrough. And in my opinion, the most useful angle here is number 3 just because I see all the fretboard and both hands at the same time. I totally understand that any video-related person could piss on my face for these words, but I truly believe that static frame in playthroughs where you could see literally anything happen on the guitar is much better for educational purposes than dynamic frames changing every 1,5 seconds where you don't understand what's happening. Of course, static frame is definitely not dynamic enough and some people even (OMG) could think that it's boring, but are playthroughs supposed to be entertaining or useful for learning? No questions to the technical side, it is impeccable as usual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Great point. It definitely would be most useful to learn the song from a one shot playthrough but I think (and I took this out of the video) most people wouldn’t have the attention span to watch a 1 angle playthrough unless it’s for a song that they love. And most people filming playthroughs id say are indie players and need to keep the attention span for as long as possible I definitely agree with you though

[@KaiDown]

I would personally say playthroughs are supposed to be entertaining rather than educational - if you want to learn to play something, the typical medium would be tabs.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@KaiDown good point. That’s definitely where I go first and I watch playthroughs also for entertainment

[@Evolji228]

@@BrendonKPadjasek Yeah, I totally forgot about attention span problem, while it's actually an important problem these days

[@Evolji228]

@@KaiDown Tabs are definitely number one for learning, no questions there. I just also think about how much effort could people make in attempt to create a proper playthrough and how small would be the views because basically people who watch playthroughs are the instrumentalist themselves and couple fans who clicked on a video just because of their curiosity

[@metalheadblues]

Hello Brendon 👋

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Howdy!

[@riccardogaudentidrummer]

Hi Brendon! I'm a drummer and i am here to ask you something a little unusual 😅I would like to record a drum cover of STRUCTURES band and the studio where I'm going to record asked me if I had the "STEMS" of the song Alien. Would it be possible to receive for the purpose of a drum cover on KZbin? I realize it's a special request but it would be really nice! 🙏

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

No problem! Sumerian actually sells the Stems for Divided By and LTAW on their site. Simple stems though, Drums, Bass, Guitar, Vocals, Effects without specific files thanks for watching

[@riccardogaudentidrummer]

​@@BrendonKPadjasekok thanks! I didn't know that! thanks for the info and keep rocking! I love what you do

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Funny enough I had to purchase them to do a playthrough a while back haha

[@riccardogaudentidrummer]

@@BrendonKPadjasek oh wow that's nice 😅 I just bought it! I'll enjoy it, thanks for the tip! LTAW it's my life even though I only found out about it a few years ago. But it's been my "best friend" in all this time and in difficult moments 🔥 when I play in my studio I play that whole album with drums every time

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@riccardogaudentidrummer thank you so much! Yeah it wasn’t perceived well at all when it came out and I actually had a hard time with it after its release and the band splitting up but when I listen back on it I’m super stoked on it

[@Sp00ky-zr9yk]

Would these techniques work on if your using an IPhone to record these types of videos 🤔

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Absolutely! The only difference is that there won’t be very much of a depth of field effect (where one point is in focus and others are out of focus) I actually have a song on my channel in drop G where I filmed it on my iPhone 13 and I have another video about a DaVinci resolve app that’s free and allows you to get way more quality out of your phone camera. Check those out if you’re interested

[@diostaylow]

link on the fogger please hehehe

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hahahah ill see if I can find it

[@signalz.7417]

structures new music?? 😢

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Haha you’ll have to keep waiting! We’ll definitely be doing some playthroughs though

[@signalz.7417]

:D​@@BrendonKPadjasek

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@signalz.7417 hahaha thanks for the interest

[@MaxAntsiferov]

Nah the best angle is constantly zooming in and out with left hand tracking, preferably on beat with kick drum

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Hahahahahahs I’ll have to try that next time. That’s good

[@MaxAntsiferov]

@@BrendonKPadjasek jokes aside, great video!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@MaxAntsiferov haha I appreciate the jokes so no worries. Thanks my man!
