-: Now what I'll do is, 2 2
I'll show you how to set up another camera, 3 3
a higher end one, here. 4 4
Pretty much every product from this box, 5 5
I'll show you how to use today, 6 6
during this section, here. 7 7
I know it's a little disorganized, 8 8
but it's the only way 9 9
I could figure out how to do this properly. 10 10
So, this here is a cinema camera. 11 11
It's a higher end camera. 12 12
This is a Canon, 13 13
and this is called a C300 Mark II. 14 14
And it's a 4K camera. 15 15
I've got a non-4K version, as well. 16 16
One thing I wanna stress is that I know 17 17
this is a bit pricey. 18 18
This is what I do full time, 19 19
and I'm a bit older. 20 20
But it doesn't matter how good the camera is 21 21
if the operator doesn't know how to use it. 22 22
And so, there's a lot of people 23 23
that can just use their iPhone, 24 24
or Android handsets, or cheaper DSLR, or mirror-less cameras 25 25
and get much better quality than I ever will. 26 26
But I'm trying to teach you the basics here. 27 27
And this thing, it's pretty complicated to use, 28 28
but what I do is, 29 29
I've got this lens here that I want to use. 30 30
I've actually got two of them, the same lens 31 31
because sometimes I like 32 32
to mount one of them on my Canon M50 33 33
and on this bad boy, as well. 34 34
So what I'll do here is 35 35
I will take off the back of this Canon, 36 36
and then I'll take off this lens, this cover here. 37 37
Never touch what's in the inside obviously. 38 38
I'll line up the two red dots here. 39 39
Okay, good. 40 40
And that's it. 41 41
Great, it's that simple. 42 42
And then this thing, there's no auto mode on this thing. 43 43
It's quite complex to use. 44 44
But the same three things apply to this camera 45 45
and all cameras I talked about before. 46 46
Number one, you set the frames per second. 47 47
So I'm going to use 24 frames per second here. 48 48
And the shutter speed is always twice that, so 48. 49 49
Then number two, you're going to set 50 50
the f stop, meaning the aperture. 51 51
And I'll keep it pretty low so I can have, 52 52
or actually I'll keep it a little bit higher, 53 53
but not too high, a bit higher 54 54
so you can see everything in focus. 55 55
If you make it too high, then you don't have enough light. 56 56
And the third thing I'll do is 57 57
I'll mess around with the ISO as well. 58 58
If there's not enough light, I'll make the ISO high, 59 59
because eye so high, like my eyelids so high. 60 60
Kind of a dumb way to remember it, 61 61
but you'll never forget now. 62 62
Okay, great, cool. 63 63
So this one here, I usually leave it plugged in. 64 64
The battery's not that great on this one here. 65 65
So I'll go into high speed mode now, 66 66
and I'll this thing plugged in. 67 67
All right, and always have a surge protector 68 68
if you can with these things, as they can be expensive 69 69
and a hassle to fix. 70 70
All right, so I'll turn this one on. 71 71
There we go. 72 72
And this is so I can obviously see what I'm recording. 73 73
You can zoom in and out. 74 74
You can put autofocus on, which I love to do. 75 75
And I can play around with all the settings. 76 76
So what I'm going to do now is, 77 77
whenever you're recording, try your best if you can 78 78
to make your video as perfect as possible, 79 79
so that when you are editing you don't have 80 80
to change things around too much, 81 81
just so you can save time. 82 82
So I'll try to do that. 83 83
So what I'll do is, I'm going to record this here in 4K. 84 84
And by the way, the memory cards in these things 85 85
get eaten up really fast, right? 86 86
So it uses a memory card here, 87 87
this one will get eaten up in no time. 88 88
So I'll put it in the back and I'll record 89 89
for as long as it will go. 90 90
Probably won't be that long of a recording. 91 91
And I have another external device 92 92
called an Atomos Inferno. 93 93
And I use that to record because I can get four terabytes 94 94
in one recording, which is like four hours or so, 95 95
versus just these things here which are quite limited. 96 96
Let me connect this and I'll start recording. 97 97
All right, and I am going to record this in 4K, 98 98
but it'll only give me, it looks like, 83 minutes, 99 99
on that little 256 gigabyte card. 100 100
Not very much. 101 101
Okay, great, and the other ones you can get 102 102
that are a terabyte or higher, 103 103
just way too expensive for me. 104 104
All right, so what I've done, 105 105
it's kind of hard to see, 106 106
but in the bottom I threw this thing in here. 107 107
And this is for mounting on a tripod. 108 108
I have a higher end tripod at home. 109 109
The tripod I'm going to use to set this up 110 110
I'm going to show you right now, 111 111
is not that sturdy for this camera, 112 112
but I want to keep it simplistic. 113 113
So let me just open up my lights box here. 114 114
Good thing I have the GoPro all set up there, 115 115
so you can also see from a higher vantage point 116 116
what I'm doing. 117 117
And this here is the tripod I'm going to use. 118 118
There's a great company called Manfrotto, 119 119
and Manfrotto makes great tripods. 120 120
They're a bit pricey, but I recommend getting them, 121 121
because they're the best, 122 122
and if you have a lot of expensive camera equipment, 123 123
they're definitely a worthwhile investment. 124 124
So what I usually do is I make the tripod 125 125
all the way up high, and then I lower it. 126 126
It's easier to lower because of gravity 127 127
once you have the camera attached to it. 128 128
And again, for a higher end cinema camera like this one, 129 129
this is not a really smart idea, 130 130
using this lighter tripod here, 131 131
but it's the best I've got here in Canada. 132 132
I've got another one back in San Francisco 133 133
that's a bit better. 134 134
Okay, great. 135 135
And then when you buy this Manfrotto stand here, 136 136
it came with that little thing that screws into the bottom, 137 137
I showed you there, that round thing, 138 138
and then you can insert it here in the top. 139 139
So let me now lower this a bit, 140 140
just so I can get in camera 141 141
and show you there on the Canon M50, over there. 142 142
And my kids just arrived, 143 143
you can hear them in the background. 144 144
Or, actually, no, they are just leaving, 145 145
my kids and my sister Elizabeth's kids, 146 146
they're going out to play. 147 147
All right, let's see if I can even it up a little bit more. 148 148
Here, good, all right. 149 149
And then this what you can do is you can loosen it 150 150
and then tighten it up as well. 151 151
So I clasp this open and I'm going to put that little thing 152 152
I screwed in right there. 153 153
And again, you would never do what I'm doing right now. 154 154
You would use a higher end tripod, 155 155
but just for simplicity, 156 156
I want to get this set up and show you. 157 157
And this thing comes with a handle as well, 158 158
on the top and on the side. 159 159
I took them both off, because I'm traveling. 160 160
It's tough to bring all my equipment with me. 161 161
Let me hold this up here, and I'll put it here, 162 162
and I'll clamp that in, okay. 163 163
Let me just make sure that this is on tightly. 164 164
Good, I'll clamp this in. 165 165
A little ridiculous on this tripod, that's okay though. 166 166
And then I'll try to set it up here, 167 167
and then I'll tighten everything really tight. 168 168
And I can turn this around if I want to, 169 169
to kind of set up what I'm looking at, what I'm filming. 170 170
And then I'm going to try to make it level. 171 171
Oops! 172 172
Okay, great. 173 173
All right, good. 174 174
I think we're good to go. 175 175
So I've got this thing set on an ISO of 500, 176 176
an f stop of four, meaning I can get 177 177
a bunch of stuff in focus. 178 178
If I went even lower than that, 179 179
which I can't with this lens, 180 180
but if I did, you would see me and everything behind me 181 181
would out of focus, which I love, it's cool. 182 182
And then I've also got an ISO of 500. 183 183
I might make that a touch lower. 184 184
And I'm recording at 24 frames per second, 185 185
It's actually 23.98, but whatever. 186 186
And then I've got 48 for the shutter speed, 187 187
which is twice the frames per second, 188 188
which is what you want to use. 189 189
Again, these things you can't use manual, 190 190
and the microphone sucks on this thing too, 191 191
as it does with most cameras. 192 192
Now what we're going to do is, 193 193
I'm going to set this up over here and record in 4K. 194 194
So let me move this over here, 195 195
and we've got our fourth camera, 196 196
and this is why the GoPro really comes in handy 197 197
right now, for this. 198 198
Let me set this up. 199 199
Definitely lower the ISO, it's way too high. 200 200
All right, great, now we've got four cameras running, 201 201
and I'm going to use this as the A camera now, 202 202
because it is higher resolution. 203 203
That's 4K there. 204 204
And you see in this camera here, the Canon M50, 205 205
you can see a little bit more information. 206 206
It's because that lens goes down to 11 millimeters. 207 207
The lowest this one goes is I think 24 millimeters. 208 208
And so I couldn't get everything in the shot here. 209 209
When you go buy a camera, if you want to vlog, 210 210
try to get the lowest millimeter possible on the lens, 211 211
like 11 millimeters. 212 212
That Canon M50 uses what's called 213 213
an 11 to 22 millimeter lens, which is fantastic. 214 214
It's my favorite vlogging camera, that one. 215 215
This is my favorite higher end camera, the Canon C300, 216 216
which corporations use, whatever. 217 217
But again, the quality equipment is not nearly as important 218 218
as the way the person uses it. 219 219
There are a lot of people that are way better than I am 220 220
at using really cheap cameras 221 221
that have better quality than mine. 222 222
Okay, great, we've got the GoPro there, 223 223
and we still have the iPhone there. 224 224
Now, I'm recording everything in 24 frames per second, 225 225
and the reason that's important is because 226 226
when I go into the editing mode, 227 227
and I want to coordinate all these cameras, 228 228
and some of them layered on top of each other, 229 229
or in windows, like I'm showing right now, 230 230
see all four cameras here in the windows here, 231 231
split-screen like the Brady Bunch, 232 232
what happens is if you don't record at the same frame rate, 233 233
then some of the videos will end up a little bit longer 234 234
than you expected, a little bit shorter, 235 235
it's a pain in the neck trying 236 236
to synchronize the audio to all that stuff. 237 237
Okay, great, cool. 238 238
We've got four cameras connected now. 239 239
Now I'm going to show you some other stuff. 240 240
So, let me actually show you a higher end microphone now. 241 241
This one here is called a Schure SM7B, 242 242
and this is the one 243 243
that a lot of higher end talk show people use, whatever. 244 244
There's also what is called a Blue Yeti, 245 245
which I absolutely love, and I've been using it for years. 246 246
The Blue Yeti is plug and play. 247 247
The Blue Yeti looks like this, 248 248
and all you have to do is you plug one side 249 249
of it into the USB port on your computer, 250 250
so your computer can power it and process the sound. 251 251
You can't plug it into the wall. 252 252
It has to be into your computer. 253 253
And then you plug the other end, if you want to, 254 254
into a camera, or just leave it as is. 255 255
So if you are doing a webcast, all you have to do is 256 256
just plug the Blue Yeti directly into your computer. 257 257
It's pretty cool, and it's really easy to set up. 258 258
It's just plug and play, which is awesome. 259 259
And I actually like the Blue Yeti, 260 260
which is cheaper than this. 261 261
I like the Blue Yeti a lot more than this, 262 262
because this microphone, 263 263
the sound quality is off the charts, 264 264
but you have to be really close to it when you talk into it. 265 265
Okay, great. 266 266
And sometimes you'll see people 267 267
that are speaking into a microphone 268 268
have that little circle thing in front of it. 269 269
And that's called a pop, and the reason it's called a pop 270 270
is because it gets rid of the p and b sounds. 271 271
So if you are too close to the microphone, 272 272
you sometimes need a pop to stop the wind from your voice 273 273
when you say the pees and bees, p and b. 274 274
Hi, I'm seven. 275 275
You need a pop. 276 276
This microphone is really good. 277 277
You don't really need one unless it's touching your lips. 278 278
Okay, great. 279 279
And you're probably wondering what this is. 280 280
I've got to show you this quickly. 281 281
This here is a couch bed I've got here 282 282
in my parent's place here in Mississauga, Canada, 283 283
where I'm staying. 284 284
And I got into a car accident years ago. 285 285
I'm fine, but my back is kind of messed up, 286 286
so I bought this thing here. 287 287
It's a clamp that you can 288 288
put on anything, if you want to watch iPad or stuff. 289 289
I love working when I'm lying down too. 290 290
It's just me, because my back. 291 291
Anyway, check it out if you want to. 292 292
It's a really cool device. 293 293
All you do is you put it on, and then you can stretch it 294 294
bigger or smaller, and it holds basically any kind of iPad. 295 295
I'll put this aside, and I'll get this out of the way now. 296 296
Oh, come on in! 297 297
So this here is my son, Dylan. 298 298
A lot of you will recognize him from the webcast. 299 299
Come over here, buddy! 300 300
Say hi! 301 301
I love you! 302 302
He just turned ten years old. 303 303
We're using this camera here if you want. 304 304
So Dylan comes onto all my webcasts. 305 305
-: What's that one? 306 306
Oh, that one's being used too. 307 307
We've got four, one, two, three, four. 308 308
Whoops, that's okay, I'll take care of that. 309 309
All right, I love you buddy. 310 310
Give me a little bit and I'll be out soon, okay? 311 311
Thanks, buddy, I appreciate it. 312 312
All right. 313 313
Okay. 314 314
So this microphone here, the way you'd set it up 315 315
is a little bit more complicated 316 316
than setting up a Blue Yeti which is just plug and play. 317 317
So what I'll do is I'll show you how to connect this. 318 318
If you're not interested, just skip this part. 319 319
You can always look at the menu here on the side 320 320
and move on to the next topic that interests you. 321 321
All right, so when you use higher end stuff like this 322 322
you can't just plug it in. 323 323
It's kind of like a high end stereo. 324 324
If you get a simple stereo, or a little sound box, 325 325
that's it, you just plug it in, Bluetooth, 326 326
whatever you listen to music. 327 327
But if you have a high end stereo, 328 328
you need to get an amplifier and all this other equipment. 329 329
And I don't have a high end stereo. 330 330
But what you do here is you need an amplifier, like this, 331 331
and then this here will record the sounds and also help out. 332 332
Kind of like with your home stereo, 333 333
if you have several different components, 334 334
like you might have an amplifier, 335 335
another main unit, et cetera, these work together with that. 336 336
This one here, this is called an H6 Zoom, 337 337
similar to the H1, which I'm using to record right now here. 338 338
This one is a bit higher end, and you use it 339 339
if you want to attach higher end microphones, 340 340
and you also use it if you are interviewing people 341 341
and you want to have multiple microphones. 342 342
And that's why there's multiple ports. 343 343
These ports here don't look like the little ports 344 344
that we use to plug in the lavalier 345 345
or that shotgun microphone there on the Canon. 346 346
The ports here are what are called XLR, 347 347
and what that means is that these are powered 348 348
by this unit, or can be. 349 349
And so, what you would do is you would plug this 350 350
into this side here. 351 351
Actually, I'll set it up, what the heck. 352 352
You plug this one here into that port, okay? 353 353
And I've got a dial here to make it louder or less loud. 354 354
That's called the gain. 355 355
And any microphone you use, or most microphones, 356 356
if you can't get the sound quality perfect 357 357
you can adjust what is called the gain. 358 358
So there is a gain on the top of that rogue shotgun mic. 359 359
You can only do it up or down slightly. 360 360
There's a gain on this one here, this as well, 361 361
here, to make it louder or not too loud. 362 362
The reason why you want to do that is 363 363
you want to get the sound quality perfect 364 364
so that you don't have to change it in post edit. 365 365
And by the way, there's a bit of an echo in this room, 366 366
and so I actually in post edit, I actually changed it 367 367
so you can't hear the echo as much. 368 368
So let me take off that echo filter. 369 369
You hear the echo? 370 370
Okay, I'll put the filter back on now. 371 371
I'll show you how to edit all this stuff 372 372
from scratch as well, using Final Cut, 373 373
at this point here in this very long section. 374 374
Okay, great, all right, cool. 375 375
This here, what you do is you plug in the amplifier 376 376
on this side here, okay? 377 377
And then you plug in this using another really long cord. 378 378
And I'm going to use this on my web cast tomorrow 379 379
because the sound quality is great. 380 380
And then you plug this end into here. 381 381
It's just a long capo, that's all it is. 382 382
Great, and then what I do is, for my webcast 383 383
I actually plug this here directly into my computer, 384 384
which we'll do really soon. 385 385
At this point here in this long section, 386 386
because I love to get high quality sound 387 387
when I do my live YouTube broadcasts. 388 388
What you can do is, I can actually record sound 389 389
on this as well. 390 390
It's a nightmare opening this little trapdoor here, 391 391
so I'll go into fast-forward mode and get that done. 392 392
All right! 393 393
And the good thing with recording 394 394
with several different cameras is that if I make a mistake, 395 395
I can always just cut to another camera. 396 396
I just made a big mistake there. 397 397
You didn't see it, but anyway, now we'll hit record, 398 398
and the sound quality sounds like this. 399 399
So it actually sounds really good. 400 400
But the problem with this microphone is 401 401
if it's far away it doesn't pick up as much noise. 402 402
But when it's really close it sounds really good. 403 403
You get the deep bases there, that base there as well. 404 404
And again you can record and connect 405 405
several of these together, 406 406
several microphones into one unit, if I wanted to, 407 407
if you are interviewing lots of people. 408 408
All right, great. 409 409
I'll put this down for now, 410 410
and I'm going to stop using this mic for a second 411 411
and go back to this mic, okay. 412 412
And again, the quality of this little lavalier is great. 413 413
I love it. 414 414
So, what I'm going to show you now is, 415 415
I bought this, it's called a Manfrotto arm. 416 416
You can get cheaper versions as well if you want to. 417 417
Back in my home studio, I've got bars on the ceiling 418 418
which I drilled into the studs, 419 419
so I can hang a lot of equipment down from it. 420 420
I don't like anything touching the ground 421 421
in my home studio, just to keep it clean. 422 422
And it's a small studio. 423 423
But I have this device here, 424 424
and I got these really cool clips, or Manfrotto devices. 425 425
What you can do is you can hook these things 426 426
up to other devices like this. 427 427
You push this button in here. 428 428
And I'll provide you the links as always. 429 429
Push this button, and then what I can do is 430 430
put this in here, and it won't fall out. 431 431
It's locked in, and then I gotta tighten it up right here. 432 432
And then what you do is, after you tighten it up, 433 433
you move this to whatever feels most comfortable for you. 434 434
And then you tighten this, and then nothing moves. 435 435
Pretty cool, it's great. 436 436
So what I can do with this is, 437 437
I'm actually going to just hook it up right here. 438 438
I'm going to MacGyver it. 439 439
I think I'm dating myself there. 440 440
I'm not sure if everybody gets that, MacGyver. 441 441
Oh, and you can take this out, 442 442
in case I want to hook it up to something that's not square. 443 443
I'm hooking it up here to the side of the case, 444 444
because I don't want to ruin my mom's couch. 445 445
Tighten it up. 446 446
Great, move this around here. 447 447
Get it into a position that I like it at, 448 448
and then I will tighten it really tight right here. 449 449
And that is stable, if this stays still. 450 450
So let me just put this guy right here. 451 451
That's fine, yeah. 452 452
And what I'll do actually, is I'll screw this in here. 453 453
I'll go into high speed mode so I don't waste your time. 454 454
All right, great. 455 455
So it's a little bit unconventional, but it works. 456 456
So what I'll do is, I'll use this microphone for a while, 457 457
and I'll switch back and forth to this dude here, 458 458
and this guy here. 459 459
The shotgun sounds like this on that camera there. 460 460
The iPhone sounds like that. 461 461
The GoPro is just awful. 462 462
I don't know if you can hear the audio there. 463 463
So I'll just keep a couple of these audio things 464 464
going at the same time. 465 465
Okay, great. 466 466
And then what I also have an extra one of these clip things 467 467
in case I want to mount this somewhere, 468 468
like on the side of the couch or wherever it is. 469 469
Okay, great, all right. 470 470
Next up, I'll put this aside here. 471 471
What do we have next? 472 472
Ah, this is how to clean your camera, 473 473
so that's what I'll do. 474 474
I'll show you how to clean the camera.
