How To Shoot A Commercial | 9 Easy Steps to Film Beer & Drinks

[@khambu53]

But..I'm always amazed in what they keep saying "you can literally do this with nothing" and they keep on adding all these lights and equipment : D :D

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

Dipu Rai All of the principles they’re discussing can be applied to a shot no matter what equipment you have. They’re using nice lights from Aperture because that’s what they’ve got, but you can rig up an equivalent with stuff from the hardware store. The point of the video is mostly to show you how to use the lights you have

[@namesurname624]

@@FlippytheMasterofPie try to shoot it on a 200$ consumer phone with no custom lighting other than what you have

[@FarhanKamdar]

Aputure lights are so cheap in comparison to the lights they use on pro sets. The 300 D ii is equivalent brightness to a 575 W HMI which are cumbersome to use, have heavy ballasts and header cables, too hot to handle, and can cost up to 10 grand to get everything to have it function. Meanwhile the most expensive Aputure light which is just as powerful and much easier to use, costs about $1100

[@FarhanKamdar]

Still expensive for the consumer and the hobbyist but if it’s something you do for work it’s an investment that’s gotta be made. People pay for you to shoot their products they expect you to use high end equipment that can get the job done easily and quickly. You can use cheaper lights, but they’re unreliable, the aren’t as color accurate, etc. They will work to get you those lower paying gigs, then once you’ve done enough of those and mastered using cheap lights you can upgrade to the heavier duty more expensive equipment that will in turn let you produce higher quality stuff on a faster and bigger scale

[@SeanofAllTrades]

@@namesurname624 You fucking children need to stop whining when anyone spends money on equipment. Yes. Some equipment makes things look better. No, your lack of equipment isn't what's holding you back - it's the fact that all you do is comment on KZbin videos instead of getting shit done.

[@DANAMIONLINE]

I like how Ted is so engaged in receiving the information when I'm sure he already knows half of the insights.

[@cestmoi4153]

more than the half im sure he knows everything

[@TheInfluenceStudios]

The final sequence was great till you see the beer that Ted poured 😂nothing wrong with the shot just way to much foam 😂 Great video thanks for the content

I'm glad you are a brown nosing fool that finds entertainment in seeing your wallet being sucked completely dry and with all things considered, this is supposed to work with "any budget".

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Say it again - LOVE these setups and shots using lower end gear - makes it so everyone can learn and do. Thanks! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@JaaProductionss]

lower end gear? the slider setup costs more than the camera and the basically was their crutch to make this decent

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Joseph I’m talking about using the camera, the Canon instead of the Red mention in the beginning.

[@jesse.vr6]

@@JaaProductionss you could always do the towel slide trick, though if you can afford the lighting equipment to even start with this shot you'll probably have a good ass camera and slider anyways

[@Krakenborn]

@@jesse.vr6 could you show me your towel slide shot of any product video like this?

[@Krakenborn]

Only the camera body which is small part of the gears is considered low-end. Do you know how much those lights and modifier cost? And the slider? This is easy tips not low-end tips.

[@kolecava]

Indy Mogul, Studiobinder, Aputure, CookeOptics are some of the best KZbin channels to superpower your cinematography. Thank fuck for you guys, making our lives easier. Anyone starting out has zero excuses, all you need to do is dedicate some time! (and obviously loads of smaller individual channels out there too).

[@SunDevilThor]

More of this please. I love seeing content that can be re-produced at home with high quality results if done right.

[@baodzedun4928]

SunDevilThor согласен

[@isjoren8083]

You dont realise how helpful you are. I am a 17year old that has just became interested in photography and cinematography, and your videos always teach and show me so much! Helps me experiment and develop a better knowledge of camera and lights. Thankyou!

[@fredgebhardt5992]

Daaaaang. That cutting diffusion and putting it on the back trick.... so good!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Some super practical stuff here like putting the paper cut out behind the bottle to diffuse light

[@RSpudieD]

Nice! That's pretty interesting and I would have never thought of the piece of paper on the back to make the bottle glow more! Good job!

[@videotechxplained7020]

“Evoking emotion of a person saying I need that in my life” well that must be a hell of a beer

[@TulsaMotoClub]

Man I really enjoy your recent tutorial videos that you've been putting out. I like that they cover specific fields of our craft like shooting products, music videos, or a commercial. Would be cool to see a video on how to shoot vehicles with different budgets. Keep up the good work!

[@nicoa.levicki5773]

Guys, you make it look so easy :D The trick with the diffusion on the back of the bottle is insane. Thanks for all the insights!

[@RussLyman]

I don't drink at all, but this was still informative. Love it guys

[@OlympiaStudiosProduction]

Ahhh the paper behind the bottle trick!!! Wow, the things you learn 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@ladyloove09]

Please make more content like this, I learned so much from this. This kind of content is amazing. Thank You so much for bringing this useful content to us.

[@nicholasmartin4559]

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh! that diffusion paper at the back bro... :)

[@AmritaBhortake]

Love some of the tips you both gave in this video, especially the one with glycerin and the paper pasted on the back of the bottle. Fantastic! I am definitely going to try those out!

[@MustangGT715]

Love how you did the "cold" look with the water and glycerin! :-)

[@K1LL4Cam]

Another tip to prevent that overflowing and foaming is to use food coloring in water and dish soap, this will keep the look of "beer" without the carbonation adding to the overflow and over foaming, so you get a longer pour, see more "product" or fluid than foam.

[@JunDBant]

Another fantastic video; educational and fun

[@TheSureShannonShow]

This was very educational. It gave me a better idea how to light a bottle. Plus the camera settings were a plus.

[@TheLoftySloth]

this video inspired me 10 fold. wow I just took so many banger photos, thank you for the video!!!!

[@Joey.Alford]

This is excellent content and super inspirational for people that have the space, gear etc. I know you used an old DSLR but the other equipment fell into the “entertainment” category for me pretty quick. I’d be interested in seeing a video like this with a complete beginner or intermediate setup! I try and make videos like that on my channel but I don’t have the expertise that you guys do. Anyways, liked the video nonetheless thanks for keeping me entertained on a Monday!

[@SeanofAllTrades]

Besides the slider what are they using that isn't completely beginner equipment? You can buy a kit with 2 softboxes online for like $100. I'm not sure HOW MUCH CHEAPER you want everything to be. Not every video can be someone shooting video on their iPhone with a bunch of home depot lights and foam-board reflectors. You can still apply these principles with any equipment you currently have.

[@kylerossi1381]

Tilt the beer glass at an angle for a better pour than pour upright to get better foam head

[@TheHypeEngine]

That turned out great. I think that white diffusion on the bottle was a great trick to make it glow.

[@jonathangolgota]

i learn much from all your video .... thanks you sir 👍👍👍👍👍

[@whothetechknows]

That's great :-) I love it. I definitely drink and I might actually make one for my next drinking party

[@logicfrogmedia]

can we just take a moment to appreciate that he has a timer for the sponsored segment?

[@thriftingsifting6709]

Good Video On Lighting Technique. But ya missed out on using a circular polarizing filter on the lens especially with the light reflection on glass/liquids. Unless your client is wanting reflections.

[@wit6665]

wow so this is how Indy Mogul evolved what an amazing thing to come across after probably 9years. glad to see it evolved and is still making cool content.

[@HernanCortesYip2011]

[@alexmansell8385]

"So we do have this slider here" was the moment this turned from reasonably inexpensive and doable to straight up taking the piss.

[@autocrow]

I don't drink either. Well, not until I saw this commercial. Now I'm craving a frosty cold one!

[@ahack210]

Really well done Ted and crew. I took a great commercial photography class back in the day and we did a lot of these same tricks and tips. This was a great refresher and added some new dimensions (pun intended!) Keep up the good work. Loving the content as of late.

[@indymogul]

Very cool! What else did you learn in that class?

[@ahack210]

@@indymogul The neatest tip was to put a scrim behind the table/bottle (just out of camera view, so low) and a light positioned right at the back of the bottle, JUST peering over the scrim. It gave the bottle a nice glow and rim light.

[@JordanBrothersRacing]

If your not listening to the Podcast that goes along with these Indy Mogul videos your missing out.

[@Yes2LifeShow]

These types of videos are absolutely gold. Thank you Ted :) Greetings from Germany

[@haroldvillegas17]

My tip for lighting a reflective object is to Bounce your light. If you use light meter to a reflective object with direct light the meter cant read it.

[@Johnny_frost]

Please, do an episode about how to shoot a cosmetic product commercial(powders, different bottles, liquid stuff...). White background, not dark! How to light it, different technics?

[@Valuiskihh]

You can watch "workphlo" KZbin channel, there he makes photos with times cheaper camera and flashes, so everyone can make it. Not like these guys, who talk "make from scratch", but use several thousands $ stuff :D

[@Johnny_frost]

Roman, ordinary Estonian rescuer thanks!

[@TonyRush21]

Best video ever :D It was like been on location shoting, and a 100% explane on why we do it. Love the light-set up, like to know more about lighting. I have many times problems with blacklevels, not getting enough lights for the grading... how to adjust it with a blackmagic camera?

[@BhaswarYouTube]

This was very helpful!!

[@TylerCinema]

13:10 Bro you gotta tilt the glass to not over foam it and then as you get closer to the top you put it back and build up the head on the beer.

[@SweBeach2023]

Or just let the beer go slightly stale.

[@TylerCinema]

@@SweBeach2023 Why waste perfectly good beer? Also to let it skunk would take a while.

Hi, thank you for the great tutorial. @7:59 can't we just change the color in post when color grading? Or is it always better to try to capture the color you want while filming?

[@davidmejia4993]

More of these, this guy is great. And with equipment we actually have, every youtuber now has a red and good for them but we have 6d, a6300, gh4 and it's really discouraging when they teach things but have a massive studio, 10 lights, 3 reds, robotic arms, I mean cool and all but come on.

[@footballfrenzy5990]

David Mejia lol so true. So many of these ridiculous titles out there like “Arri Alexa mini vs 473 red montro 8k’s on our 16k screen” exaggerated but ya get the point :p

That’s because it’s for different viewer. If budget is a factor, I think it would reflect in the title. I don’t have any of this equipment, but I have an idea of what I can do to make something work.
