Shooting Multiple Interviews in a Small Room | Aputure Lighting - Pro Vlog 47

Dallas Video Production| Production Vlog Behind the Scenes | Dallas Texas DP
We turned this tiny space into 5 different looks for interviews and testimonials. I opted for a booklight with a 1200D for the key light and then filled with. bounce. I used the 600D to bring up the room levels and then finished off with the T2c as a hair light.

Did you enjoy this breakdown?

[@Rolypopoly]

Yep, like the format with the diagram

[@gilgoncalves2304]

Yes! I really like the diagram Mokry, keeping doing if it's possible! Thank you

[@nicolaswojdacki6277]

Getting 6 setups out of that room is a feat, for sure! Thanks, I really enjoyed your detailed breakdown

[@PDMokry]

Big moves in small spaces, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@schuey323]

Can I just tell you that the way your rigged the bars for the book light with just one stand is utter genius? Like, I'm flabbergasted that I have largely the same stuff and have never thought of this. Definitely going to try on my next big shoot. Excellent as always!

[@PDMokry]

Crazy that we can still get those "Ah HA!" moments with such basic kit! I credit it to my days of Lego! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@allen_bernardo_jr]

@@PDMokry Could you point me in the direction of which of your videos showed the set up in more detail? I'd like to try setting something like that up for future book light setups :D

More to come! Thanks for swinging by to watch!

[@th8132]

Look at you running with a crew! No more one-man band gang. 😂😆🤣

[@PDMokry]

And now you spoke it away! Back on a one man band gig this week! Next week a two man crew!

[@flaviopresutti]

Great bts Morky! Great episode! Congrats, thankyou!

[@PDMokry]

YES YES YES! Thanks for watching!

[@thisisbrightside]

Love the simple book light setup! Such a great idea.

[@PDMokry]

Got another idea cooking! Stay tuned for more!

[@donnybristol]

another great video! Keep'em coming

[@PDMokry]

Thanks! Will do!

[@ToxicMetropolis]

Very informative. I liked the diagram and the time-lapse, too!

[@PDMokry]

Thank you! Sounds like I need to make it a habit!

[@erikpreston2393]

Masterclass. Thank you so much!

[@PDMokry]

Thank you! Hope you sub for more!

[@johrman04]

loved the diagram and the timelapse was cool. Always such a fun challenge to get a lot of setups out of a single space

[@PDMokry]

I will try to do more detailed videos when possible. Glad you enjoyed the diagram. It can be a lot of work, but great when it pays off! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@thefustercluckshow9456]

Love the breakdown! informative

[@PDMokry]

Thanks for watching!

[@WaltervanDusen]

Great seeing you figure out how to get the maximum results out of a challenging small space. 🥳🎥

[@PDMokry]

Glad you found the time to watch, you are always editing and film for your KZbin Channel!

[@12yfilms]

I like the diagram! Thank you for sharing!

[@PDMokry]

Welcome back! Thanks for watching!

[@nikson3200]

Great video, thanks... always curious about the final frames. But I guess it's not always possible to post as it's commissioned work.

[@PDMokry]

We shot this over the weekend and I was not in charge of camera, so it makes it tough. But any chance I get to share, I will be sure to do so. Thanks for the support and viewership!

[@JulioBHJ]

This was surprisingly in-depth and very informative, keep doing these please! 😁

[@PDMokry]

I got plenty of BTS with my phone, but wanted to try something different. Thats just how us creatives work. Glad you enjoyed it! more to come!

[@ricky999doc]

I would love for you to turn each light on one by one so we can see the effect of each one :) especially seeing what effect the hair light has!

[@PDMokry]

Did it in this one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaeQkpSsgt2Vfsksi=O8XV0FEKQs6QQRoN

[@nickparuch6490]

You did an amazing job in a very challenging space. I've been there. Trying to make a small room look like different rooms. Definitely keep showing the set ups. It's great learning jow others work.

[@PDMokry]

Three walls with different looks really helped a bunch. The production company did awesome on finding a good space. Option one was the end clients white wall offices. Glad we made the switch, even with stairs. Thanks for the support and viewership!

[@jorgequinterohmp]

Awesome work bro! Happy to see you putting out more content more consistently. Great work, love the diagrams and the Timelapse is super cool. One suggestion I would have to make these type of videos a lot more valuable is having a sample of what the camera is seeing or a screenshot. I know you have in other videos, i assume since you’re just gaffing, you probably didn’t have access to the footage, but maybe in that case at least a bts photo or video of what the camera is seeing, otherwise its up to the imagination as to what the lighting is doing, and maybe one has a bit less interest in the lighting breakdown without being able to see the shot. Just a small critic, keep the videos coming they’re awesome!

[@PDMokry]

Thank you for the feedback! If we were not so pressed for time, I would have jumped in for a quick second. Since I was just the G&E dept, I did not want to press for anything. I am very pleased they approved this vlog and BTS. But any chance I get, I will try to get a turn key video made. Maybe in the future I can have a BTS shooter there for even better content.

[@inspirecreativemedia_1]

Thanks for the awesome content Piotr. I love the simplicity of the book light. What are you using when you have to fly and can’t really ship or rent C-stands?

[@PDMokry]

So I had this exact situation come up and I did something simple! What is the difference between a book light and a background setup? Not much really, just the material that hangs from it. You can use 3-4 stands and two cross bars. So just find two full backdrop setups used online. Hang diff from one and ultra bounce from the other. That can pack away easy.

[@PDMokry]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Inspirecreativemedia]

Thanks for the tip!

[@PDMokry]

@@Inspirecreativemedia Always here to help!

[@AndersBakfeldt]

Very informative, thx! Feel free to do more of this type. Did I miss you maybe mentioning how long each of the three setups took?

[@PDMokry]

Glad you enjoyed this format! We had 2 hrs for the load in and setup of the first shot. Then we hd about 10-15mins to get the next shot setup. Thank you for watching!

[@jancechovsky9575]

Dear Peter, thank you for your work here. May I have a question? Please, what light power did you set on main lights? Just wondering if I can do simillar job with 2x Nanlite FS 300. Some family members from Czech or Slovak republic? :-)

[@PDMokry]

Hello! If you are not fighting windows, that would work great! I was at 50-100% on the 1200D Pro.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

What camera did you use to record the time lapse? I only do low budget freelance video but its nice to see how a pro does it. Not only the lighting but the staging to come up with so much variety in one room. Great job.

[@PDMokry]

I use an insta360 X3 for timelapse. I appreciate it! Check out my lasted video where I show results from a similar setup. Thanks for watching!

[@digitalskyjourney]

Keep up the great work! I'm also curious to see how the image turned out and would be cool to get some thoughts from the DP as well. I thought you were initially going to go with the softbox route?

[@PDMokry]

Thank you! Great attention to detail! All the softboxes / domes were used on day one in their offices. Very tight spaces and b-roll all day.

[@Dano-Media]

Hey quick question! I noticed in a lot of your book lights that you don't use the f10 Fresnel on the 600/1200d but instead use the provided reflector. Is there a reason for that? Does it give a better spread? Asking because I've been experimenting with book lighting recently.

[@PDMokry]

Using the 1200D with f10 fresnel would reduce output. It would be softer, but when the 1200 comes out, I need the output. Most of my book lights are used close to 100% output most of the time. You are correct about a wider spread in a tight space.

[@Dano-Media]

@PDMokry oh never knew that, does the f10 also reduce the output on the 600? Thanks for the helpful nuggets!

[@blakestanage6898]

The diagrams were awesome man! And you’ve got me inspired to try an all day timelapse soon. I’ve got a question for you on book lighting. I’ve tried them a few times, but I always get a ton of reflection in glasses. I end up avoiding even trying them for fear of having to switch to a light dome in the middle of the shoot. What do you do about this?

[@PDMokry]

Glad to hear it! I seem to get the least amount of reflections on glasses with book lights. You can always raise the whole setup and skirt the bottom with neg if needed.

[@blakestanage6898]

@@PDMokry oh that’s a good call. Thanks!

[@erikpreston2393]

QQ: in close quarter's scenarios such as this, would I be able to use an Aputure Light Dome 150 with similar effect or would that have framing limitations?

[@PDMokry]

It would not be as soft and the light would have less spread. You can watch this video to see the 150 dome: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaeQkpSsgt2Vfsksi=trnI_XirYvgFcxkr

[@nordfilmcompany]

Have you tried to close down that book light with another white panel making it a triangle? Might reduce the light “leak and fill due to the leak, but get more power in the subjects direction ?

[@PDMokry]

I have that idea already cooking for when I need it. I have done 4 sided softbox style book lights. We needed the room levels to go up on this shoot, so it was fine to have an open end. I might custom order a 8x4 ultra for these types of setups.

[@nordfilmcompany]

@@PDMokryCool! Would love to see that in action one day. Wondering if you could get by with a 600D in it instead of a 1209D if that backpanel was closed down. Thanks mate🙏🏼

[@PDMokry]

Might have to do a test with readouts in the future.

[@haikkavookjian851]

Nice! Is that the Matthews Baby Triple Header you're using?

[@PDMokry]

It is a Matthews double header. But great eye!

@@PDMokry Great idea! I'll have to give that a shot!

Hey man where do you buy your rags?

[@PDMokry]

If buying in bulk, Canvas Grip is great. They also do custom sizing. But TRP is also a good option.
