This has quickly started to become one of my favorite channels. Keep up the great work

[@Bruces-Garage]

I agree. Me too.

[@PDMokry]

You guys are awesome! It can be a struggle spending 4-8 hours each Sunday editing these videos, but y'all make it worth it. Thank you for the support!

[@kevinyampi]

love all the info in this video, really easy to comprehend interview set ups

[@PDMokry]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you stick around for more!

[@johnstewart3391]

Great video! I always look forward to seeing what new video you post. Thank you for sharing.

[@PDMokry]

Thanks for watching! I have over 70 other videos similar to this, check them out when you can!

[@WaltervanDusen]

This is a very informative vlog. Who doesn't love detailed vlogs as great as this one. Love the details of the setup and the pre interview questions. False Color segment is always great to see. The b roll segment was also great.

[@PDMokry]

Always great to see you in the comments! Glad you enjoyed the new POV setup. I plan to do a lot more like it! Maybe EL Zone will start to make it into the vlogs!

[@dhphotovideo1]

Great demo video of the set-up.

[@PDMokry]

Glad you liked it!

[@brendanbilo]

Thanks for the BTS! Love the POV cam. What cart are you using? I like the stand storage component. Thanks! Keep it up.

[@PDMokry]

Thanks so much! More to come! I can share a link if you would like to the cart.

[@brendanbilo]

@@PDMokry that would be awesome! Thanks

[@card-joker5301]

Great Video! Cool to See how you build up the framing

[@PDMokry]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

[@Bruces-Garage]

Love this. Appreciate seeing the client interaction - that is super helpful.

[@PDMokry]

That is one of the perks of a pov camera rolling the whole shoot. I can catch interactions naturally. Thanks for watching!

[@aaronporterjr.9515]

This interview set up is amazing!

[@PDMokry]

Keeping it simple! Thank you!

[@1imanni1]

Great video

[@PDMokry]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marcoaslan]

Learning a lot from this guy. Keep them coming

[@PDMokry]

Awesome to hear! Can't stop, won't stop!

[@wenjun_n]

Nice setup for a small space like this, I was just wondering if it was possible to loose the spotty top lights and introduce your own light from above, but probably time and space constraints ain’t allowing it, maybe some CRLS reflectors will help. Those spotty top lights are just introducing quite a bit of multiple shadows with unflattering hard look. Also if your are using the Atmos recorder, if you have access to the EL zone false colour, use that instead, it will be much more accurate with exposure mapped to the log gamma you are shooting at. But that would probably also mean you have to choose to shoot with slog3 and burn in the viewing LUT instead of s-cinetone.

[@xasaintx]

Great stuff! How do you find shooting with the dual A7iv? I use mine occasionally paired with an A7Siii and every now and then it will overheat and we have to interrupt the shoot.

[@PDMokry]

The overheating issues are happening more with usb power and hdmi out. I make sure to keep the camera in airplane mode also. But I do overheat from time to time anyway.

[@jefferson.castillo]

Diggin this setup. I have the exact same gig next month. How are you color grading with S Cinetone? Where should the false colors be for S Cine? What white balance did you shoot this in? What was the name of the app for the light?

[@PDMokry]

Sorry, only one question per comment! No grade done at all. I try and keep the key side at 70% I did a custom WB with printer paper. Sidus Link Thanks for watching!

[@thekp503]

Awesome. Thanks again.

[@MojoPapiFPV]

This was REALLY great BTS w/ commentary. How do you discuss the KZbin component w/ clients in terms of releases/permission, etc?

[@allen_bernardo_jr]

lol'd at the interrogation part xD I like how you mentioned the context of the answer and gave the color example, that's a good one I need to remember. I feel like I know to do that but I keep worrying that I'll forget next time I shoot 😄

[@PDMokry]

I always try to have fun on these types of shoots. It takes away the nerves people have going in. Glad you could take away something from the vlog! Thank you for watching!

[@Every_Joint_Supplies]

What’s the attachment your using for the easy rig to gimbal?

[@PDMokry]

Just some slapped together parts.

[@GioZilke]

love it

[@PDMokry]

Glad to hear it!

[@nythinkers5108]

Very good content. What application do you use on your iPhone to measure light?

[@PDMokry]

First off, thanks for subscribing! Glad you liked it. It is the Sidus Link App

[@Deatarus51]

Loved the setup, and explanations. You've sold me on the f22c, just have one question. Does your Amaran f22c have fan noise in the control box? I hear conflicting reports. Also need to point out that I just subbed, and this is my second video of yours. Generally I'm a video quality snob, but for these one man behind the scenes videos, it's actually crazy that you're able to work AND film these at the same time. Watched the whole thing and didn't once think about the GoPro quality. Just grateful it was captured, and grateful for your train of thought narrative of all the steps. Great content man. I'm gonna be watching your whole channel backwards in my spare time now lmao. Keep it up!

[@yaronwn]

Hi. Great video! Can you share the gimbal with the easy rig setup please? Thank you 😊

[@OrenArieli]

Nicely done. Have you considered brining a hairdresser's mannequin head for your framing and rough lighting? They're about $25. Just put them on a stand at the approximate height of the talent and frame/light them as you would a stand-in. They never complain, they don't move around.

[@rickbiessman6084]

I’m really surprised by how soft the light from the F22 looks. If you hadn’t shown it, I would’ve thought it’s a much bigger light source.

[@jpalczewski]

great stuff ... thanks for sharing .. how are you using an Atomos LUT without using an Atomos monitor ?

[@PDMokry]

Thank you! It is a LUT added during the edit.

[@Stevebuk123]

Amazing video, thank you! 2 questions: 1. My instinct would be to turn house lights off to avoid unflattering shadows under eyes etc and maybe bounce an additional light to add room tone. But I guess you rely on your colour-matched key light to fill in any unflattering shadows there might be? 2. Are there any rules for shooting a wide and tight using 2 cams in roughly the same camera position? My guess is to try and get both cams as close as possible, do you always put wide nearest interviewer etc Thank you!

[@ocimaging]

Amazing and detailed video, I didn’t even mind the quality of the action camera. What was the name of the light testing/temperature app that you used?

[@PDMokry]

Sidus Link App Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel!

[@ocimaging]

@@PDMokry you are welcome and thanks, had this app for like 30 minutes before heheheheh here I go again.

[@BruceMarkos]

Thanks for sharing. Those tight spaces can be a real challenge, you nailed it though, with two cameras, two lights and a boomed mic. Great stuff. Do you ever get tempted to use a radio lab instead just to cut down on big gear in your space?

[@BradMagnus]

Ok, so I feel pretty dumb that I didn't know there were those Filming Tools built into Sidus Link! Thanks for sharing.

[@MuhammadFloyd]

Im always in small spaces so this is helpful as I don't see many if any interviews done the way I'm doing them. thanks

[@YourStoryStudios]

BTS video quality looks "authentic" 😉

[@PDMokry]

I have a GoPro 12 headed my way now! Should help clean up a bit of that authenticity! 😁

[@YourStoryStudios]

@@PDMokry looking forward to seeing the results!

[@sachapegado]

Love the POV style - keep it up

[@PDMokry]

You got it!

[@ADDICTIVESimon]

What’s your easy rig model?

[@PDMokry]

EasyRig? MiniMax Stabil Light

[@manrifamoustoifaali1011]

Very useful for learning

[@PDMokry]

Glad you think so!

[@JaymieJones]

This was an incredible breakdown/run through, like your others, but I really enjoyed the chest mount POV in this one. Super informative as always, will be taking some of this advice into my next shoot.

[@PDMokry]

Wow, this is awesome to hear! I keep trying to change things up, but still have a similar feel. The GoPro allows me to work freely without stopping. This is why I keep doing these. Love to hear that you can take ideas onto your shoot!

[@framewavemedia4831]

For b-roll with this little movement, why not just shoot handheld? Seems like that would be a lot easier and faster. What's your experience with the FX3 IBIS?

[@PDMokry]

Some shots are basic with little movement and others have a lot of movement. The IBIS is great and even better with a stabilized lens.

[@fenstoon]

What light meter do you use?

[@PDMokry]

Sidus Link

[@fenstoon]

@@PDMokry thank you

[@bobsteinfinkel]

enjoyed this video I like the go pro angle worked well I think. Nice interview set up regardless of the space too.

[@PDMokry]

Another vote for the GoPro! Glad you enjoyed the video. Tight spaces can be tuff. Thank you for supporting the channel!

[@remcodegast_]

Your video's look soooo good!

[@KaloramaStudios]

This is amazing. Really appreciate your breakdown of everything.
