-: Hit record. 2 2
Zoom out here. 3 3
So, again, this is 11 by 22 millimeter lens, 4 4
I'm looking at right now. 5 5
Lower number, means you can see more of your face and stuff, 6 6
so if you wanna vlog, again, get the Cannon M50. 7 7
And then, get that 11 to 22 lens if you want. 8 8
If you're interested, 9 9
I'll show you actually how you set up this suitcase here. 10 10
So, when you buy it, it comes with a bunch 11 11
of these things, they're long and then you use 12 12
this razor blade to cut, and then what you do, 13 13
is you put these little, they look like U's, 14 14
just to lock in each compartment here, 15 15
so when you travel, you don't ruin your stuff. 16 16
Okay, I think we're done with this. 17 17
Great. 18 18
So, I'll chuck that over there. 19 19
Oh, if you wanna vlog, you can vlog with these things too, 20 20
to hold up your camera, you can push this, 21 21
take it off, put it on your camera and it's got 22 22
this level thing as well. 23 23
So, this is by a company called JOBY, J-O-B-Y. 24 24
It's a great product, I love it. 25 25
I actually prefer it to using that Ronin S device, 26 26
underneath that Canon M50, because this is light. 27 27
And I will close this up. 28 28
All right, good, I think we're done 29 29
with all the audio stuff. 30 30
And, I'm gonna show you actually how to set up 31 31
a Wirecast webcast from scratch. 32 32
This will be a lot of fun. 33 33
This will be a lot of fun. 34 34
Okay, great. 35 35
So, oh, one more thing before I do it. 36 36
And by the way, I'm gonna teach you how to use Wirecast. 37 37
There's another product called OBS, 38 38
which stands for Open Broadcasting Software, 39 39
which is free for doing your live webcast. 40 40
It's similar set up to Wirecast, 41 41
I pay for Wirecast 42 42
just because I need technical support every now and then 43 43
and it's just easier, it's just easier. 44 44
It's kinda like, getting an iPhone or an Android. 45 45
Androids are a bit cheaper than the iPhones, 46 46
but I find iPhones a little bit more intuitive 47 47
and I don't wanna set off a big debate there. 48 48
(laughing) 49 49
All right, great, so I will put this aside here 50 50
and let's move on to lighting, move on to lighting, yeah. 51 51
All right, lights. 52 52
So, Sascha uses a ring light, 53 53
and a ring light is basically this circle light 54 54
that you can put right around the camera, okay? 55 55
And, it works out quite well, but what happens is, 56 56
and if you're cool with this, sometimes your eyes, 57 57
you can see the circle in your eye, 58 58
which is kind of a cool effect. 59 59
And, Sascha actually uses it and puts it off to one side 60 60
and Sascha sent an Instagram picture of her set up 61 61
and I'll show you a picture right here. 62 62
You can see how she's got the ring light 63 63
off to the side there and then she's got 64 64
a camera mounted on a similar tripod to what I have here. 65 65
She uses a Sony A7R, I think and then she also has 66 66
this little teleprompter mirror on the bottom 67 67
that she uses with her iPhone. 68 68
It's pretty cool, it's neat. 69 69
I'm not using a teleprompter for this, 70 70
but a lot of times, I do use a teleprompter. 71 71
If you're curious how to set that up, let me know 72 72
and I'll create a lecture for you covering that topic. 73 73
Okay, great. 74 74
So, this here, these are a bit higher end lights. 75 75
Again, this is what I do full time, 76 76
so I kind of splurged a bit on them. 77 77
What I'm gonna teach you though, is just basic lighting. 78 78
And, it doesn't matter if you use these lights 79 79
or any other types of lights. 80 80
And, these are LED lights, which means 81 81
they don't give off as much heat, 82 82
which is awesome, which is great. 83 83
And, when it comes to lighting, 84 84
the first lights I bought, and I recommend 85 85
what I'm about to tell you, is a product 86 86
called Westcott Basics. 87 87
And, Westcott Basics is just two basic lights 88 88
that come with stands and they're good enough. 89 89
That's it, that's it. 90 90
And, you set one up on this side, one up on this side, 91 91
and behind you, you can actually take a lamp if you want to, 92 92
kind of like this, I don't know if you can see that lamp 93 93
off to the side, maybe with the GoPro, 94 94
you can over here, yeah. 95 95
You put that down on the ground behind you, 96 96
so it gives a pop behind you, okay? 97 97
But, when you use, when you set up lights, 98 98
usually one light is brighter than the others, 99 99
and it's either on this side or this side. 100 100
And that's called the key light. 101 101
So, if we're outdoors recording, 102 102
the key light is obviously the sun. 103 103
And, sometimes, you'll see people outdoors, 104 104
hold up those big ring things, those big circle things 105 105
to reflect light onto you, okay? 106 106
And, that is called the fill light. 107 107
So, the key light's the important one, 108 108
that's the sun outdoors, and the fill light 109 109
can be that big thing that person holds up 110 110
when you were a kid on photography day, 111 111
remember that at school? 112 112
Or, it can be another light. 113 113
So, what I'll do is, I'm gonna set up my lights 114 114
and one light is gonna be brighter than the others 115 115
and that one will probably be right here 116 116
and that's called the key light and then I'll have, 117 117
because it's gonna give a lot of light on this side 118 118
and I'll have shadows here, what I'll do 119 119
is I'll set up a fill light, another light here 120 120
to fill in the missing parts, okay? 121 121
It's gonna be a bit tricky, too because 122 122
I've also got natural sunlight here outdoors. 123 123
It looks like it cleared up a bit outside. 124 124
You can almost see the CN tower. 125 125
And I've got a third light here, 126 126
so there's 3 lights in this package here. 127 127
And, the third light is gonna go behind me, okay? 128 128
I think, I think. 129 129
We'll see, we'll see. 130 130
So, basically, this set up here, 131 131
this brand of lights, I can never pronounce the name 132 132
is Kinotehnik, I think. It's called Practilite 602. 133 133
Okay, so I've got 2 of these 602s, okay? 134 134
These are the ones I'm gonna use 135 135
on each side, they're powerful. 136 136
And, I've got one that's a little bit less powerful 137 137
and I'm gonna put it behind me, probably. 138 138
Probably, okay? 139 139
And this is just a 600, okay? 140 140
And, if you do green screening, 141 141
which Sascha and I did earlier in the course, 142 142
in the lecture on how we did titles, 143 143
what you do is you have either a green wall behind you, 144 144
or you can pull down paper on a roll, 145 145
which is green or you can have green fabric like a sheet. 146 146
And, a lot of people think you gotta make it 147 147
really bright, you don't. 148 148
All you have to do is this. 149 149
You use lights behind you, just make sure 150 150
that it's evenly lit, evenly lit all the way across. 151 151
And, I've actually got an app on my iPhone, 152 152
I'm looking for my iPhone, it's over there recording, 153 153
which is a green screen app, it's this one here. 154 154
And, as you can see, and I'll do a little demo here, 155 155
right now, actually, in this corner here. 156 156
You see this? This is the iPhone app here, 157 157
the green screen app. 158 158
I think it was about 10 bucks. 159 159
It will tell you if the back, what's behind you, 160 160
is all evenly lit or not. 161 161
Again, here's the name of the app. 162 162
You can download it if you want to for green screening, 163 163
which is a lot of fun, it's a lot of fun. 164 164
Okay, cool, so let's set this up now. 165 165
So, what I'll do is, it came with 166 166
three little tripods as well, 167 167
they're a little flimsy, or light stands, I should say. 168 168
But, let me just open this dude up here. 169 169
All right, and I'll tighten this up here. 170 170
And, this guy here is gonna be my key light, 171 171
my most important one. 172 172
I'll make it slightly above my head. 173 173
Tighten it up here, good. 174 174
Then what I'll do is, I'm gonna throw this guy 175 175
on here right now, there's a little latch here. 176 176
And, these lights are great and everything I buy, 177 177
pretty much if I can, I can operate with Bluetooth 178 178
because I pride myself, I'm teaching my students 179 179
how to be a one person crew, OPC. 180 180
Yeah, you know me, that song's in my head now. 181 181
(laughing) 182 182
But, I love everything to be Bluetooth based 183 183
and I'll pay a little bit more for stuff 184 184
that's Bluetooth based because the most expensive thing 185 185
when it comes to videography is labor. 186 186
And, if you pay a little bit more for devices 187 187
that you can control yourself, then you save 188 188
the cost of labor, it's great, it's great. 189 189
Okay an I've got another course called, 190 190
Video Production Master Class, 191 191
which goes into way more detail 192 192
on all this stuff if you're curious. 193 193
All right, and then I've got right here 194 194
what are called barn doors. 195 195
Why? 196 196
Because they look like your barn doors. 197 197
And, this here is so that I can put a filter on it, 198 198
which is kind of like the thing my mom used to wear 199 199
when she used to do her hair, right? 200 200
Looks like a mushroom from Mario. 201 201
So you put this on here and it's important 202 202
to have these things because they're called diffusers 203 203
because they diffuse the light. 204 204
Otherwise, there's too much light hitting you. 205 205
This diffuses the light everywhere, evens it out. 206 206
So, you just put it on here and you can push 207 207
these two little levers here. 208 208
Okay, and you put it on here. 209 209
There we go, okay good, it clicked into place. 210 210
Okay, great, excellent. 211 211
Then, you plug them in with this. 212 212
Then, you change the lighting. 213 213
I usually use my iPhone, I'm not going to 214 214
because it's recording over there, one of my B cameras. 215 215
So, I'll set up all three right now, 216 216
go into very high speed mode 217 217
and I'll teach you how to use them. 218 218
And, you always wanna travel with Velcro 219 219
and Scotch Tape and a bunch of clips as well. 220 220
So, I'm gonna clip this onto that light up there. 221 221
So, I've got my key light there 222 222
which will be my brightest one, 223 223
this will be less bright. 224 224
And, then up there, it's tough to see, 225 225
maybe you can see it with the GoPro, 226 226
I've got a rear light, a halo light, 227 227
for my head just to kind of give it a 3D pop 228 228
so there's more depth to the video when you watch it. 229 229
What I'm gonna do actually is, 230 230
I'm gonna grab my iPhone, turn off that recording, 231 231
and I am gonna operate these wirelessly. 232 232
I wanna show you how that works with Bluetooth. 233 233
And there's a lot of cheaper alternatives, too. 234 234
What I recommend doing is checking out a brand 235 235
called GVM, which stands for Great Video Maker 236 236
and you can get fantastic little lights 237 237
that are quite cheap, much more affordable 238 238
and just as good to be honest, 239 239
and they're colored as well if you wanted to have 240 240
a nice blue tone to the background 241 241
behind you on the wall, 242 242
which as my kids would say is, "dope." 243 243
I'll go into high speed mode, set this up 244 244
and then I'll show you how to use it. 245 245
You know what I'll do actually is, I'm gonna 246 246
record this screen here, you can do a recording 247 247
on your iPhone as well. 248 248
So, I'll hit record here. 249 249
Two, one, good. 250 250
And, I'll go... 251 251
(hand slapping on thigh) 252 252
Just so I can synchronize it, okay. 253 253
And then, what I'll do is, I wanna show you here, 254 254
so here is the application here, it's called 255 255
Kinotehnik, I can't pronounce it, 256 256
but there's the name there in the corner, okay? 257 257
And, what I can do is I can change the lights, right? 258 258
I've got a lot of really nice natural sunlight right now, 259 259
but I can actually change these lights here. 260 260
And so, my key light is gonna be that one there, okay 261 261
the one I'm looking at over there. 262 262
And, it's, I think I'll probably make it the brightest one. 263 263
And, this one here is called my fill light 264 264
and this will just basically fill in 265 265
where there's shadows on my face. 266 266
I like to have some shadows though, 267 267
it's a more interesting look, I think. 268 268
Okay, so that's that one, make it a little bit less, 269 269
so that one's a lot brighter over there. 270 270
And, then the one behind me is right there, 271 271
it's not gonna do too much, 272 272
a little bit there in the back. 273 273
I should ideally have it closer to me 274 274
or maybe move the couch forward, 275 275
but let's just leave it at that for now, okay. 276 276
And, by the way, if you're curious 277 277
what the end product's gonna look like for all this stuff, 278 278
you can watch my weekly webcast, number 50, 279 279
because I'll be using a set up like this kind of. 280 280
But, I love the natural light from outdoors, 281 281
but if you're doing it at night, these things are awesome. 282 282
And then, as you can see here on this screen, 283 283
you can change what's call the Kelvins. 284 284
And, Kelvins means the warmth of the light, 285 285
or the coolness of the light. 286 286
In Kelvin, the scale on this product, 287 287
I think goes from 3,000 to 6,000. 288 288
And so, a Kelvin of, you can see here, 289 289
if I go down to 3,000, it's a very warm light. 290 290
Right, this one here is, I'll show you here. 291 291
This guy here is yellow and then if I go up to 6,000, 292 292
it's a more, or 5,900, it's a more blueish look to it. 293 293
It depends what look you wanna get, 294 294
but whatever you do, make sure you're consistent 295 295
and have all the lights, I like to have them 296 296
at the exact same Kelvin. 297 297
And then, you can lock it in 298 298
as I'm gonna show you right here in this video. 299 299
So, just for simplicity, let's just use, 300 300
actually, I'll use 5,300. 301 301
It's not gonna do too much though, 302 302
because I've got that natural sunlight here. 303 303
If I wanted to, I could get garbage bags, 304 304
black garbage bags and black out the window, 305 305
but I'll keep it open for now, it's nice, I like it. 306 306
Okay, great. 307 307
Okay, so that's lighting, that's lighting. 308 308
And so, this light here, oops. 309 309
This light here is gonna be brighter than the other lights. 310 310
Okay, the trick is to keep the Kelvins 311 311
at the exact same value of around 5,300. 312 312
Okay, good. 313 313
And, then this guy here is gonna be brighter. 314 314
Yeah, there it is, good. 315 315
Okay, good. 316 316
And, this guy here, yeah, him, I don't want to be as bright, 317 317
so what I'm gonna do is, I'm actually just gonna 318 318
lower this one, the brightness, that is. 319 319
Oops, wrong one. 320 320
The older I get, the better I was. 321 321
Okay, great, yeah, that's good. 322 322
That should be fine, that should be fine 323 323
It's not gonna make too much of a difference anyway 324 324
because of the window is open there, the curtain. 325 325
Okay, great. 326 326
Just get your lights even if you can, 327 327
meaning using the same Kelvin. 328 328
So, that's basically lighting, that's how you do it. 329 329
I recommend Westcott Basics if you're just getting started. 330 330
That's what I started with. 331 331
They're awesome, they're really easy to use. 332 332
All right, are we still recording with this guy? 333 333
I think we are. 334 334
Okay, great. 335 335
And also, keep the iPhone beside me for now 336 336
just in case I make some changes to the lighting. 337 337
Okay, great. 338 338
So, we've talked about lighting. 339 339
I guess I could put this dude away here. 340 340
We talked about lighting and we've talked about audio. 341 341
We talked about video and so I guess the next step now, 342 342
is to do a Wirecast set up, meaning YouTube Live. 343 343
And so, before we go there, you might be thinking 344 344
"Well, Chris, what's the bottom line? 345 345
"What camera should I buy?" 346 346
Well, if you're into extreme sports, 347 347
then I recommend getting the GoPro up there. 348 348
If you wanna vlog for yourself, 349 349
and your face is in the vlog, 350 350
meaning the video you put on YouTube, 351 351
then I recommend the Canon M50 over there, 352 352
or an Android device or an Apple iOS device. 353 353
And, if you wanna vlog, you can get those selfie sticks 354 354
or you can actually get one of these things 355 355
if you want to, the Osmo 2. 356 356
And this, you gotta balance this as well, calibrate it 357 357
like I showed you how we calibrated 358 358
the Ronin M50 over there. 359 359
Hey there, Ronin M50. 360 360
But, this one here, it's, I find it messes up the audio 361 361
when I use this, so I love to have 362 362
an external recording device while I use that 363 363
even though it's my iPhone, even though it's my iPhone. 364 364
The iPhone sound quality is decent. 365 365
And, you'll notice that in the first couple 366 366
side note videos in this course, when I was in Barcelona, 367 367
the quality of the audio wasn't that great 368 368
because I was just using the iPhone audio, 369 369
and that's why I provided the closed captions. 370 370
Now, I went to get the subtitles or closed captions 371 371
from a website called Rev.com, that's R-E-V.com 372 372
and then I burned them directly into the video, 373 373
when I was in post edit using final cut. 374 374
And so, what I wanna do is I'll show you 375 375
really quickly how to use this guy here, okay? 376 376
So, let me just hook this up here. 377 377
All right, I'm actually gonna do a screen report on here 378 378
because I'm gonna show you the software 379 379
that DJI uses and DJI is the company 380 380
that makes this and the best drones. 381 381
I've got a Mavic Pro 2 or a Zoom 2, 382 382
that I'll show you how to use 383 383
at this point here in the course. 384 384
Okay, so the first thing you do is 385 385
you open the DJI app. 386 386
Let me record this screen, 387 387
Three, two, one, go. 388 388
Okay, and let me just two, three. 389 389
I did that so it knows that we're recording, 390 390
the audio in sync. 391 391
Okay, so now we're gonna go to DJI, go. 392 392
Okay, and what I'm gonna do is I'm actually 393 393
going to connect this device. 394 394
Okay, so, Device List. 395 395
Does it see it? 396 396
It probably doesn't because it's not on, 397 397
so what I'll do is let me just put this here, 398 398
make sure the camera is on this side here, okay. 399 399
And, I'll show you how to set up, one second. 400 400
So, let me turn this on by holding 401 401
this button down here, the power button. 402 402
Siri: I don't understand, so we turn this on. 403 403
But, I could the web for it. 404 404
-: Siri, I did not ask you that. 405 405
Okay, and then what I do is I hit Refresh here. 406 406
Okay, it looks like it can't find it, 407 407
so let me make sure I'm connected. 408 408
This thing is not too robust actually, 409 409
so I'll go here to Bluetooth and make... 410 410
See that, my son Andrew, he renamed my phone Baby Daddy, 411 411
so, my Airpod's Baby Daddy Airpods as well. 412 412
Okay, he's funny. 413 413
I don't know where he gets that from. 414 414
Here it is, awesome. 415 415
Okay, it looks like we're connected, good. 416 416
Then I go back to the DJI app, hit Refresh, 417 417
connect to your device, good. 418 418
Okay, great. 419 419
We are connected now, okay? 420 420
And so, I'm gonna hit record. 421 421
(iPhone beeping) 422 422
Great, so, I'm recording this vlog right now 423 423
and what I'm gonna do is, I've got audio source 424 424
right here recording in my pocket, too, just in case. 425 425
Good. 426 426
And, I'll show you how this works. 427 427
And so, I've got the GoPro up there running, 428 428
so you can kind of check out how it works. 429 429
So, all you do is, you just kind of move this around, 430 430
and I set the settings up so it moves slowly. 431 431
And, as you can see, when I walk with it, 432 432
it kind of stays stable on me which is pretty cool. 433 433
Again, the only issue I have with this 434 434
is the audio gets messed up, I find, sometimes, 435 435
which is why I use an external device. 436 436
So, I'm gonna show you how it works here. 437 437
I'll do a quick little walkthrough here. 438 438
So, my kids are here with my sister, Elizabeth. 439 439
There's Andrew. 440 440
Where's Andrew, 441 441
say "hey" Andrew. -: Hi. 442 442
-: There's Matthew, say "hi." 443 443
-: Hi. 444 444
-: Love you guys. 445 445
Okay, and I'll go over there, there's my godson, Silas. 446 446
Say "hi," Silas. 447 447
-: Hi! 448 448
-: I love you. 449 449
There's my mama. 450 450
I love you, Mom. 451 451
My dad. 452 452
Here's Christine, my wife. 453 453
Hey, Christine, say "hi." 454 454
-: Hi! 455 455
-: Let me see if I can get it down here. 456 456
The problem is it's tough to control it, 457 457
there she is there. 458 458
That's Christine. 459 459
And that's Elizabeth who's a clone of me, my sister. 460 460
Oh, I'm sorry! 461 461
The most important person in the world. 462 462
I'm walking back here, I'm doing moonwalk for you, Dada. 463 463
This is my dad. 464 464
This is my father. 465 465
-: Hello, Chris. 466 466
-: Oh this came, oh, yeah, yeah, thank you. 467 467
Thanks, Dad, thanks. 468 468
That's a good segue to talk about storage now. 469 469
So, if you're gonna do a lot of editing on the road, 470 470
I recommend getting a high-end drive that's fast. 471 471
Don't get a back up drive. 472 472
Get one that's fast like this one if you can. 473 473
All right, great. 474 474
I'm gonna wrap this up quickly 475 475
so I can spend time with the family here. 476 476
But, my drive got corrupted which is why 477 477
I had to order an extra one here. 478 478
Always have back ups. 479 479
Okay, great. 480 480
So, it's kind of a cool device. 481 481
But, again, if you're going to use it, 482 482
get an audio hook-up if you can. 483 483
Okay, so I'm done with this now, 484 484
so I'm gonna turn off this device here. 485 485
And, I'll stop recording here. 486 486
Oh, one more thing you gotta do is this. 487 487
(iPhone beeping) 488 488
Is, if you have to actually... 489 489
The moronic thing is you have to actually 490 490
send that video we just recorded, 491 491
directly to your Photos on your Android device or iOS. 492 492
Then, you can download it. 493 493
Just use Airplay for that. 494 494
All right, so I will turn this device off. 495 495
We are done with this gimbal and we're done 496 496
with the Ronin gimbal as well, which we talked about. 497 497
So, I will put this guy aside. 498 498
And then, just for fun, what I'm gonna do is, 499 499
I'm actually gonna put this guy back 500 500
over there and I'll show you the settings I used. 501 501
I always use 4K on this device and 30 frames per second 502 502
or 24 frames per second, if I can. 503 503
Okay, I go here to Video. 504 504
See up in the top right hand corner there, 505 505
it says 4K, 24 frames per second 506 506
and I just click Play there. 507 507
Let me just turn that Record off there. 508 508
Good. 509 509
And then, what I'm gonna do is, 510 510
I'm gonna hit Record here, 511 511
and I'll just chuck this against the window there. 512 512
CN Tower is supposed to be over there, 513 513
it's a little bit cloudy unfortunately. 514 514
All right, so I'll just jam this dude in here 515 515
for another camera angle. 516 516
Okay, good, great, okay. 517 517
And, I think my head's kind of cut off there. 518 518
That's fine, that's fine. 519 519
Okay, good. 520 520
So, next up, what we're gonna do is 521 521
we're gonna set up a webcast from scratch!
