Some of the best advice I’ve heard on KZbin. I hope more professionals who have experience pop up on KZbin

the Astra is a classic! Glad to see it getting love.

Underrated! Thanks for watching

Great advice! Bounced light is a great fill. Although tube lights are not “essential” they are small and easy to set up and can help with character separation. Another light I love that is small and useful is a screw in color bulb to control background lamps. Foldable negative, white, silver, and diffusion systems from companies like Westcott are super useful too!

[@austinmeyerfilms]

Agreed! Thanks for sharing your experience, Tim

Nice stuff. Love the simple setup. I have moved to a Intellitech RGB light matte that folds down to a 12x12" form. I have it in a wheeled backpack with seveal other lights so it is a compact kit.

[@austinmeyerfilms]

Nice! Will have to look up that light. Hadn't heard of it. Sounds like a nice portable option for people

I see on the a7s3 there’s a rode mic pro + is that just for scratch audio ?

[@austinmeyerfilms]

Yes, that is just for scratch audio for syncing up later in post!
