Stuff stuff. Let's give it a moment and see if it kicks up and stuff will appear Sounds magical Live stuff not just any stuff. What is this live you speak of? Witchcraft refresh Broke Black screen. Oh, there we go. Look at that. Just broke you too Hey, you can hear us do awesome stuff. So that's kind of weird. It's just that screen and I was talking So let's go ahead and switch it over to us and our faces. There's our faces All right, so guys hello and welcome to the live stream. We have Josh with us today Josh is a filmmaker and I'll let you introduce yourself since you know who you are better than I know you Really? Is that true? I mean it depends on the day. I guess that's true yeah, I've Just try to make short films. I need to that's kind of what I do Why should they listen to you because I'm awesome I Used to be camera operator for S&P films for a while, and then I just decided to make my own channel And that's kind of where I'm at now Known this guy for a little while and well here I am ended up right here in this chair so today we're gonna be reviewing your guys's channels and Let me make sure that everyone can hear us. Okay. It sounds like people are saying it But to submit all you have to do is just submit the name of your video You want us to check out in the comments here, and we will see it and then we will go to your channel watch it pull it up on the screen and Then we will check it out Hello one out of the what three Josh's By the way, I am all three Josh's There's only one Josh. There can be only one Yeah, have you noticed you've never seen more than one Josh at the same time. That's not true Yeah, we've been together in my own videos. Yeah, there are at least two of us. Yeah, they're fine Okay, there can be no more than two anyways be sure to go ahead and leave your Channel or your videos rather in the comments. You can't post links because not even I could post links So we'll start out with that not a magician. All right Critique my lab S&P number four. Would you rather? All right, so let's see if I update it real quick Yeah, cool. All right, and hopefully we will have some audio here in a second And guys also let me know if you can hear a reverb because since we're kind of here together We can't use headphones. So hopefully there's oh, there was like no no chests Really? Yeah, how's that? Why would I want this one? Why is this one is there watching a minecraft video from It's about to say there's no intro What you're watching is a brand new episode of the lab S&P today. I'm with rock and 60 frames Well, we're gonna be doing would you rather? Yeah Have 10 questions right you got 10 questions Yes, okay, so we're both gonna read off 10 questions. We're gonna take turns. You're gonna start first And yeah, so all right Uh, so let's hop into the cave. This is essentially like one of those like sit down All right, so um first one In the sandpaper I've never seen anything like that before that's kind of cool. I think I'm gonna go with the sandpaper Um, do I go with like a counter or like that's cool because like you know gamers You never see the other side where they just get to sit down and talk And tell you about their life and a lot of people do want to see that and if you don't have you know The situation of vlog it's kind of cool to do it in this setting. I guess or they never hear about what they would rather do and Yeah, certain situations No Heater in the winter just because you could come the concept's definitely cool I don't know if it was like if all your videos were like that not too sure But if it's you know one a week or one every once in a while, I think that would definitely be A nice change of pace Oh, I know right great setting. I would recommend though to turn up your brightness down in the dark areas because without torches You can't see it All I'm saying is it's dark I'm going to watch would you rather not really the omen Okay Okay, I get you there Uh, would you rather be a feminine man because we don't have time to sit on each video? The quality is good. Definitely cool concept. Yeah, the concept's cool. Definitely. It's unique. It's hard to make minecraft unique So he definitely took that a different route, which is awesome. I agree And I like the element that you'd rather be done. It's very cool. He likes the omen touches There you go. Yeah, there we go. Killer spiders Dungeon rating Okay, so I but I don't know whenever I do gameplay. I always try and remember You know, it's not only about me getting the experience about the viewers too So they can't see like you've thrown down a torch pretty quick But if you were like in there for a long gated period of time, it might be difficult Especially people on old monitors because I was like old white monitors the big fat ones Those get a lot darker a lot quicker All right, so let's go ahead and skim the end I think honestly everything's really cool. You got good audio. You get good quality Um 60 frames 1080p a nice concept. So all that's going for you It's completely refreshing that he's combining two ideas Like what do you rather is already like a funny idea You know with your friends and then combining that with with minecraft gameplay like I said before which everyone loves I don't know. I think it's cool Outro is cool too Uh, I don't know if my screen's broken or not, but the annotations aren't working So make sure you keep that in mind a lot of times. I know I get lazy and I don't do annotations But with that TubeBuddy add on you can just copy and paste annotations really easily So it makes it a lot more manageable. But yeah, really cool channel really cool stuff I think that's definitely a good video And I have to burp Cool Yeah, good job. That's awesome. All right. So we are going to grab another channel Uh, let's go ahead and leave your video titles in the comments here for us to check out And once we see you on we'll pick it. I'll let you pick one this time. How about that?  I should have let you pick first. I'm so rude. I think he's talking to me Moments of the week number 10. That's the first one that came up. Why not? Let's do it. All right from Um, regent? Regent. Hey kids. I apologize if I said your name incorrectly, but I'm awful at saying words. That's a cool banner. I have to say yeah, I'm a big fan of explosions and shiny and Yeah, broken glass. You got gold and you got fire. Yes And you got the darkness in the background which she likes to and it's the name of the channel being blown up It's yeah, that's just cool. I like that. All right, all you need else is like some bacon in the background You had me at explosions All right. So which one do you say? Uh moments of the week number 10. Okay. And also guys keep in mind you can't post links in this and the chat You have to actually just title the video for us and also guys while we're watching the videos We're not really checking out the chat. So you might as well check out the videos too And uh, see what you think it's that way you're not wasting time just spamming the Chat while we're not looking at it when we're looking at it. We'll let you know I want this guy to make me a banner So is this one moments of the week number 10?  This is actually the first mmo game I've played I'm not a big mmo player But there's more explosions I like the explosions some big fan of explosions Half of my videos have explosions See, I like it when people take extra time Like Yeah I've never seen that before maybe I haven't played this game long enough. Can we get that I only played it for a couple hours so That's not edited in that's the actual thing. I think it's the upper part of the game Around my screen I can definitely tell you put some time Into editing you didn't just record for 10 minutes and upload it So that's definitely a good start the fact that you're spending time on your videos Like Stuff right here We have the text over like even though we can hear you saying it I think it just I don't know I think it also like the way it pops up and pops like It just makes more emphasis on it Yeah, maybe maybe you have that from your mother No, wow turn this one in on the audio quality now This guy So there's one guy in your group. I don't know who it is. I don't know if it's you or someone else But what I always like to say is make sure that everyone in your recording has equal quality in their voice Because if one is distracting and quality that hinders your whole entire video as a whole So there's one in there. It was kind of basy and more tunnely than the others where the others are more direct And that's you're going to be distracting to the viewer So the rest of them sound pretty good, but there's one that stands out just I don't know it doesn't sound as crisp at the rest So I know it sucks to say you can't play with this person He said I don't have a good mic, but maybe not record for your channel when you're playing with them or something You know Or just ask them politely to get a better mic Because it really doesn't cost a lot to get a decent microphone I'm gonna have to agree It's like there's sounds like there's maybe about four people playing Meanwhile in base And most of them are pretty good sounding voice, but there's one in there that just stands out that isn't as high of quality And whether that's you or not it's still oh, whoa switch games up in here Now what's your thumb this he did a 720p 60 frames a second Is it better to do that or do just 1080p? Because a lot of times people do this because they cap out their quality Like they can't handle recording any better So is it better to record at 1080 or 720 60? So 20 60? Yeah Needs a lot, especially with gaming videos Okay I mean if you can't do 1080p 60 then why not but I assume there's something There if you're only doing 720 Yeah all in all I think you're you have a pretty solid video here just watch out for that audio quality Um, I mean there's cheap microphones out there whether it's you or a friend, you know If it's someone you play with on the regular you can have them you can even help them out and buy them a cheap mic That's good Like our first mic that we used was 30 bucks and it was still a nice condenser mic and sounded good so Yeah, it's definitely not bad You have a little call to action there at the end. So I think you're on the right track. You just need to keep at it and uh Again, just watch out for audio Speaking of which I'm going to shut the door.  Don't blow stuff up for real unless it's in a game That's okay. That's yeah, it's fine All right So let's go ahead and see the next channel. So guys go ahead and post your Video titles in the chat here for us to check out and it's your turn. Okay, then we'll take turns. Glad to know All right Oh, I thought I said flamethrowers. It's like what? Crash twin sanity three Oh, this I didn't click the right name. Hold up. You can do that on next This is the walkthroughs everywhere 2015. Okay. We're gonna always this one. Wait. No episode three. There we go. So three Oh, it's old school crash bandicoot I already got my vote Okay Sorry about the traumatizing ad Oh, it's a smoking add Oh So first off and foremost you might be recording an hd, but it looks like you're recording your tv and hd Which is just a little bit deceiving. I guess um What I But I always think when I see this type of stuff is good for you for trying And it's cool that you're you know working with what you have to make this happen But there's definitely ways to record this whether you don't have a capture card or not You can still get emulators on your computer and plug a controller up to the computer and then record it in full hd instead of just simulated hd As for audio It just sounds like it's on camera audio Which doesn't sound bad Yeah, it doesn't sound bad, but that might be an issue when you get to uh, if you do try an emulator And do it on the computer Because capture capture cards they do cost money and it does take more computer strength and everything to set that up and record that from a console And uh emulators though, they don't require a lot of computer strength So if you set that up and just record it's very doable And also from the standpoint of this this video being titled a walkthrough you're kind of moving through it extremely fast Which I mean, I guess it's crash bandicoot, but oh his channel name walkthroughs. Yeah Yeah, I mean with this You're definitely working with what you can get, but that can only take you so far until you get better quality So if this is what you're into the old school games and stuff, which I don't blame you old school games are awesome Look into getting yourself some emulators and like a pc controller you can get one for Five to ten bucks and hook that up and you can play these type of games and then get a free screen recorder I mean, they just don't make games like this anymore. They don't make platformers like this, which is totally Yeah, I mean, these are still my favorite games of all time to be honest That's the one console. I think I can never just step away from But Yeah, I mean props to you for working with what you have again But there's really not much more we can say except for work With what you can and try to get better equipment try to get emulators I mean just I've always said it's it's better to put out content And not worry about quality to worry about quality and never put out content because you've never put out content Then you're never gonna go anywhere and like that's That's one thing I've always lived with so like I said props to him for working with what he's got or Like for example when we first started filmmaking, I don't know about you But like when I first started I started out with the worst camera possible It didn't even record audio. Yeah, mine was and uh, I still had fun with it I still did it and then you know here in college there's kids that graduated They've never really made a film before they got and spend $30,000 on a camera And then they start up their business but they've never made a video before just because you have the equipment Doesn't make it Able to happen you have to have the personality you have to have The the gumption to go do it. I mean, this was great about this. He's doing it for the fun.   I don't know how to do that But like make full videos on their phones and record their screens and stuff and yeah So, I mean, there's definitely options out there So it's a little bit of research figure how he can do and I think you can do well, especially since you have the You know, will willingness to do it at this level. So that's cool All right guys, let's see another video Oh, he recorded it with his phone. Oh, that's even more impressive. That is impressive actually That's awesome. Yeah I don't even know if mine can record that long Again guys make sure you give us the title of the video you asked to check out Okay, check out my latest video from mike the goat I already like the title Oh, this channel has no content Or do you? Okay, so first and foremost Set to your channel up When I go to your channel here, there's nothing It leads me to believe that you you don't create videos If I didn't you know do the one extra click to click videos I would have never known that you made content So on your channel here, you have it set up correctly whereas it's browse versus feed But now you need to start adding material on here Yeah, it literally says this channel has no content. Yeah, so it's quite deceiving I about next to to be honest to go to the next one if you go here on your channel Make sure you click view as a return or new visitor And then from here then you could start adding stuff you can go down here Uh, I can't because it's currently maxed out but you can add playlist You can add videos you could do all the stuff you need to do to set up your channel for a new time viewer Because at the level you're at it's not a whole bunch of returning viewers It's You know new people coming to your channel and this is their first impression is that there's nothing so That aside, let's check out your newest video Okay, this one's for you if this is basketball related I'm not a sports guy. You like sports Scoring with the LeBron only challenge to g-15. I like it So spurs and gas I would recommend pushing your webcam over to the other side Because right now you're looking off screen. There's nothing over here If you're over here and you're looking at the great at the game people are going to follow your eyes to what you're looking at so Either that or switch your webcam up if you do want to be on the top left and look down towards the game Don't look away from it. It's kind of distracting lbj Now you do look over at it. So that's that's good, but You still need to keep that in mind where your head is most of the time not where you look at occasionally Yeah, within the left side and then his face Facing away from the whole frame my eyes either want to focus on the game or on the His commentary, which uh, like you said it gets very distracting between the two So, yeah, it's definitely good Sounds like you have background music that you added in later. I don't think that's from the game Let's go. Let's get it It doesn't seem very fitting but it's it's fitting in a comedic ldj like for the editing sense. We're looking for baseline baseline though guy And another tip uh to make it like a great gaming video like this with with sports videos Do some of the like, um edit out or edit in lbj, baby. Yeah, there you go. Like stuff like that Like really cool shots dunks more like a really awesome Really the only thing quality wise that I think you can prove on is your audience It could be a little bit more crisp. We're gonna take these free throws. We're gonna use a board Right now. It seems like you're talking away from the mic. Maybe If you bring the mic in closer, for instance, if I talk right here It's gonna sound a lot better than when I talk back here over here And it's all about mic placement So you want to place it somewhere where you're talking directly into the pathway of the mic So it sounds better. We're kind of doing a bad example of it because we're having to share it at the moment Yeah, try and bring the mic in closer and you'll be able to hear it more easily Such peaceful music That's awesome. But yeah, once again, um Like I said before it's like a highlight reel video would be great. I mean all this It's inconsequential to the overall this is coming from someone that watches sports videos This isn't someone like me who just doesn't at all. So All right, we're gonna give him four a little bit one of the points to making Uh, you know these videos is to to either one to show people what the game's like or two To keep them entertained and you want both actually And then like a highlight reel video of like things you've done the cool things you've done the dunks the Posterizing people, you know, the cool stuff you've done in game Just the most entertaining Everything else in between is just kind of like I said inconsequential. So I try to focus more on that I do like the extra editing you're doing though How you're adding in music to add a different feel the fact you just pelted some old lady in a face The basketball was kind of funny. That's always good And when you like scaled up the webcam because you knew something was more impactful in the webcam for instance right now What happened in the frame of the game? So you're kind of just highlighting what you want to highlight and I think that's good. So you're on the right track I think you just need to change the pacing up a little bit and uh Web cam and bring in the mic a little bit Oh lbj and lbj gonna be open.  So my next video to watch isn't going to be you And if you had your own videos on your own outro slate then the next video I'd watch hopefully would be yours So that way you can keep people on your channel and keep them going from one video to the next Whereas right now these are my choices to choose from I don't want to click one extra link to go one other place and then go find another video I want to see here.  It's not set up. I guess but uh Yeah, so outro slate and the other things we mentioned earlier And also that outro slate will give you your video your channel least in your videos that uh The flavor of your channel it still brings out that and kind of um overall brand Yeah, overall branding of your channel and that flavor that your channel has and that needs to be consistent throughout your whole channel Uh, he asked how do you do that? Um, just simply when you're editing. I don't know if this showed up at all. Probably didn't Let's see if I can add another window real quick boop Speaking of which I didn't upload today's vlog yet. Yay I'm sure there's a ton of people that can help you with this thing too. Yeah, so outro slates So here's our our daily vlog that we post up and at the end there's we created Our outro slate we have photo layer with our video in the background It's just something we made in photoshop with a little bit of after effects. It's nothing too fancy Took me maybe like a half hour to make And now when I scroll through I've been able to feature comments and videos and such so Sorry if that's loud by the way Let's mute that layer But yeah, it's just something simple you can make in photoshop whether you download a template or do it yourself It's not too difficult to set up yourself When we do yours and maybe like an hour or so Yeah, just messing around with no idea what we were going to do either. We're just putting photos together And it came out beautiful. Yeah, that's great So it's not too difficult whether you work with the graphics guy or do it yourself. It's it's quite doable So, uh, I'll let you pick All right. I'm up next. Please check my video What video? We need titles guys. We don't want to go onto your channel and watch something. You don't want us to watch Please check my videos. Okay We need video titles What is that? fours times four That one Okay There's a bird Nice. Yep That tasted things. Do we have any actual uh videos from that are not gaming? I know a lot of gaming. I will say 95 percent of them will be there's a nerf gun prank. We're doing that nerf gun prank I just want to change it up. Not that I have anything against gaming videos. I just want to change it up a little bit Let's see something. I don't blame you there. Hey, what's going on green my game ahead? Okay So it is a gaming channel first and foremost that banner here Looks like it'd be cool, but it's kind of low reds. You might want to bump that quality a tad So there's lots of programs. I can do that. Yeah with your current it was nerf gun prank. So let's see. Let's see this nerf Also guys if you have Like film videos or short films or comedy sketches We can give you a lot better feedback than we can with gaming videos because our gaming knowledge is Yeah, it was good as just anybody else's really I make comedic short films. I don't do many game videos I don't actually don't do any game videos.  Yeah 15 years ago Like think about how much more we could learn and how much further we could be in life With like, you know our knowledge and no set and everything. All right, where's this going?  Like we're going down stairs and it's awesome around the corner You should have uh If it were me I to take that next step. I would put some like dramatic swell music. Yeah Yeah Like really dramatic and then when you get down there have it be like the climax or And then we'll have it hit him and then like do I have like almost like a replay But like slow zoom in with like slow motion like the that would be yeah And then throw in this guy In shot Yes, you know, there's there's little things you could do to take that next Little bit further. I like that. That was great. Yeah, it's it's sort sweet and to the point and the kids got personality. Yeah So props to you for starting where you're at Take just think a little bit more in the editing process because right now you're focused on your intro and outro But focus more on the content And the middle if you do a little bit of editing there, I think you'd have a pretty solid funny video That was great. I enjoyed it. I like it All right, so Check out my video short expectations versus reality about school. All right, let's see this Let's check out that little What's your second one right there? Yeah We're just typing school. It's right there. Oh. Oh, there it is. There it is Nursing college cared for its students this is very much just what we asked for their patients. What would happen? Something extraordinary join us chamberlain college of nursing extraordinary care extraordinary nurses I'm not a nurse What you could be I feel like I've seen this video before I have Are you on whitey talk I know for a fact i've seen this video before What's your thoughts on doing wide bars for these type of videos? necessary unfortunately, um those were Like it helps make your films more cinematic The only reason why they were there in the first place is when the camera when um lenses Well aspect ratio is widened from yeah, we were at 480 which is Not aspect ratio, but yeah Do I say this correctly? See the thing is people think that gives their video cinematic feel when it really doesn't Because at those bars were there, uh, they were necessary at a time when you remember the whole like white screen full screen You could buy DVDs Last aspect ratio has changed and got wider. So if you wanted somebody with a wide screen Change the format from the bottom. Those are called slugs Those aren't necessary anymore because Everything has switched over to the formats that we have now cameras Cinematic expression Comes from many different things. I mean he's got it here without the bars. Yeah, see the intro and outro Don't have bars And then when you cut to the clips they do And you could definitely tell you did color grading you did everything else the color grading looks good Um, but I don't think that's really necessary especially for a vlog type video Like if you're trying to really get like a cinematic feel I think you know, it's okay But cinematic expression comes from, you know, many different things the way you frame it I mean the whole point of framing is to is to Keep your viewers focused on what's happening in the frame instead of what's happening outside It's all it's everything from your angles to Um, using your angles properly To depth depth is a huge part of of cinematic expression And uh Yeah, so I think nowadays to get that cinematic feel that's not really As far as I'm necessary I do also like your choice of text Like the fact that it is red on a blue background it makes it pop I see a lot of people do like red on a red background Um, I will say though it does look like you have a red drop shadow on it So that kind of makes it a little bit more blurry if you did like a black drop shadow or Something it would make it pop a little bit more Even more so than it does already Unless you're trying to go for like that graffiti look it kind of looks like You know like a little bit of mist around it and kudos like props in the color by the way Yeah, over colored. It's really well done Yeah, I I think it's cool The video says that it wasn't finished. It was just a school project So, um Yeah, it was never finished due to the time that they had so this was a school project That's funny that this is a school project and you straight up show at the very beginning how to cheat on a final exam Yeah, I think the content and idea is fun because it's those those little pictures that you always see on facebook that pop up Like expectation versus reality or what my mom thinks what my friends think like those photos I always find funny So to see that in video form is cool But yeah, but once again focus more on your your actual cinematic expression through the you know Little tips that I think Mike and I both gave like the using your angles using depth Things like bokeh, you know blurring that background getting I mean there's different ways to do that even if you don't have a lens that can do that There's a back out and you know, uh, zoom in a little bit. We'll we'll do that for you things like that We'll do it in after effects or you're gonna have to Um, and that's focus more on your cinematic expression then I mean, we also don't know why those are there. It could be an old camera Like I had a camera that was one of the first When when aspect ratios really started to change because of hd I had a camera that's still shot in letterbox Like and it was on the verge of like it was one of the first ever hd cameras back in like 2007 2008 And so I still have the option to shoot a full screen or letterbox. That might be what happened here But we don't know that might be the reason for the slugs But I mean if you did add the slugs in post Yeah, they're not necessary. I mean the filming is great Yeah, I don't know Oh, oh, there you go. Cool Nice. You have all your stuff here Oh, this is a little distracting. I think second channel shows a gaming video and then on your gaming channel It shows a picture of you on facebook I think that might be backwards maybe Oh, it said right there. They're mixed up Oh, I mixed that We can read I look at pictures All right, let's see another one Did I pick that or did you I picked that your turn my turn you're up. I thought that said pizza, but it doesn't I'm hungry We just ate like five minutes ago Call it out. I'm looking I'm looking Again guys put the titles to your videos Don't do the links because it will spam it comedy skit videos right there Blocked by channel blacklist what? I love you all good. Why not? Let's check it out. All right. So what was it? I think he just said check out his channel Comedy skits are on my channel.  I've always been light-skinned Hi guys, it's nico and in today's video.  They make you think they're someone. They're not then the moment you think you know them Bang, they're holding a keyboard Coincidentally though the first one we're gonna talk about is well made Uh your background. I think it's a little bit distracting to have the picture right behind you Because they'd be terrified when in You know if it was off the side or something where you can help build a set I think that's nice, but if you are blocking something that You know draws people's attention to it kind of just I don't know. It's just a tad distracting So just nitpicking because everything else is really good at the moment Yeah, I mean if you're trying to go for like that blank slate background There's the reason why people do that blank slate background that white or whatever color they choose What the green screen is because it helps them stand out The background and you're able to as a viewer you're able to focus on that person What they're saying more than than what's going on around them. Yeah Sorry Life they would not say any of that because they'd be terrified now, mate Why like that? That was absolutely more hate than anyone else.    Yeah, I do too. There's that's cool little like The same guy is coming to the game with you. Look at you. All you are is a weird brown color that makes video This is you the laptop and the heater and you know what's kind of cool Like the only breaks that are taken are needed. I'm sorry, but there is no way Like comedic causes that are actually planned that way Now the next one I'm gonna talk about are the people you've talked behind your own Now these are the people you've talked about Are they there the whole time? No Oh, yeah, they were. Wow This guy is just kind of disappear I'm unhackable. Now the next one I'm gonna talk about are those people you've talked behind your back Now these people can be completely chill with you I think I like this better. I'll be able to scale it up just a tad so you know how to watch headroom But it looks like the headroom is set up for the slugs I'm gonna say one skin. Great quality too Is that you? Yeah, mate. That's me. You were a legend in you. Yeah A knit picking again since again everything else I've seen has been quite well You might shoot this by yourself which would make this a little bit more difficult but lighting Right now your face is very dark right in this area. So like looks like you got knocked out on this eye All you take is just one little reflector ten dollar reflector And it reflects the light onto your face and it fills it in you don't need to get outside lighting You don't get anything like that and you can also get reflector stands a tripod where it holds each side of the reflector And you just aim it in the sun hold it there and then do your shot Move it from the next scene and that's going to fill in all these empty spots Also, one thing that I found really distracting. I mean, I didn't even hear the dialogue because of this There is such thing in film as too busy of a background the background you have there is Extremely beautiful. I mean, but that's also the problem. It's way too busy. It's like my eyes were drawn to that more than to the subject Speaking and that that can like I said, there is such thing as that as having too busy of a background And like I said, it caught me like your background caught my attention so much I didn't pay attention to the content. What was actually happening the background is fine If you had a lens that you could blur out the background with be aware of that So, I mean it looks like you have one of the standard cameras that everything is in focus And it's tough because no matter where you place the subject is still all in focus So you have to think with that and work with that. Yeah, that's called an infinite focus Yeah, he's got here and like you said, yeah, it's you gotta I mean, there's a reason why I mean, you know in In film and they they it's the technique called bokeh They've brought that and blur out that background for that very reason because that happened to my breaker right now Yeah, where I went. Oh my gosh, that is gorgeous. There's too much for you to focus on instead of I mean the focus Should be on your purpose of making you focus. I want you to focus on. Yeah, exactly Like for instance that camera up there is $2,000 camera It has an infinite focus. I can't choose what I want it to focus on. I have no choice Whereas this camera is a pocket camera and I can do as shallow as yeah So I mean, it's all about what lenses you have and what you have to work with So if you don't have the option To blur out the background like you said change up your scenery find something else So that's not quite as distracting or one of the techniques I learned in a camera that has an infinite focus Like I said, I mean you're gonna lose a little bit of quality But it's better to do that than have your viewer completely distracted away from your content is you back the camera Quite a ways and zoom in and that will blur out the background at least a little bit enough for it to not be distracting Yeah, that's one of the techniques I learned using Camcorders mostly that have infinite focus. Yeah, that's where you see it the most is camcorders Yeah, mate, that's me.  I've never liked you. You were no legend in high school. Nobody liked you And the that's why I think digital zooms too. You talk about you don't lose quality on two So what are you using? It's nice. Now the final type of fake person Make my soul lose all sense of living and give me the name why are these slugs keep popping in and out? That's Nice one g-lad, but I am the almighty calad watch this Calad Oi, calad.  Uh, what was I thinking? Listen g-lad. I'm gonna resign my place in the lad bible I do have to say though. You seems like you do have a natural talent Another calamagos has died in this world. Let's take a moment to remember their tortured souls Well, that moment's over if we could hit 250 likes on this video, that'd be amazing Yeah, your goal Yeah, 401 nice. Congrats. Yeah, I'd say a solid video. You did a good job Um, there's a few things that you need to work on cinematically Which is very hard if you're by yourself doing it So it's kind of just a learning curve to figure out how you can get these shots and make them You know a little bit take them to the extra level because right now the content's good the acting's good The comedy is good now you just need to find out how to produce it a little bit better And like I said, that's tough when you're by yourself, but I do have to say though Like with the over quality the the cinematic expression. He's already got Um, I mean he's well on his way to producing something I would even say the word extraordinary. It's fantastic. Well done Yeah, definitely deserves what he has and more. Yeah, so I agree. Good job there All right, let's see a new video Did you pick that one? Yeah, you did. I did. All right Cool people are in the chat asking if they want to collab and stuff It's cool. The fact that we can use these to like You know shed light on different stuff Fan theory four We're gonna pick this one because Once again, it's so simple, but it's such a cool banner. I like that. Also freedom subscribe to it. So Really? Yeah Very cool Yeah, Brittany was watching fan theory stuff I love fan theory stuff. So I've never seen any of that. So I'm kind of curious Or wait, was that it? Fan theories four. Yeah Yeah Or if this is actually the one she was watching To his life is strange. Don't want to watch it. I suggest you watch fan theory one through three Okay, this one's gonna Actually playing on playing this game. We're gonna mute this then and we're just going to Okay, first off first people on twitter. What's this sound like? I think it sounds okay You're one of youtube digital hero here huge spoilers. I hate it. You don't want to watch it I suggest you watch fan theory one through yeah So audio quality is good. We're not going to keep it playing because you don't want to ruin people's lives and We'll just kind of skim through it and check it out 1080p 60 that's nice Um, there's a butterfly That's always cool. Yep This is just hard to watch because it has spoilers in it What do we do he's got an outro Yep Okay outro I think This can be helped a little bit for one annotations These I like them better when they are see-through. Was that background only um for Does he make any background for every outro is that I don't know his life is strange. Oh it says right there Do you only do life is strange videos because that's my only question like I mean that could have just been an outro for this particular video might be different each time That would be cool. That's yeah or for each But I'm only saying life is strange videos. Okay, that answers my question Seems like they're no we got some hard line battle for you Um, that would be cool. Like does a series of videos and then yeah, you know what the hell's going on Well, that's what it shows. Thanks to the people on twitter. They ask the guy I don't want to like listen any of it. But I want to but I don't dirt was untouched until well Okay, I think you're You know like your persona the way you act throughout it. It's good I think you keep the interest Um, the only thing I'd really say is mic. I think you could bring it in closer Like again when I was talking like this, it's going to bring in more More clear more deep sounding voices to your voice And uh right now it just seems a little bit flat So maybe just work with that because with these type of voice over videos where it is all about your voice You didn't make it as prominent as possible so It's tough to sit here and watch the whole thing and really judge it but From the first impression to the last impression. I think you did a good job And again freedom subscribed to it. So apparently you're doing something, right? I don't know Where's that? Uh, someone just posted on a video about five tips for better macro Someone who knows their cinema. Okay, I can pull it out Okay, I'm gonna say how to fix it with macro How can you make videos with macro? We'll check that out. All right, but yeah I'm curious. I'm very curious about that But yeah, good stuff. I think The content would be cool. It's hard to really judge it without spoiling everyone in the comment section Everyone watching and us because you said you were looking to play it. Yeah, I was like this game. Yeah So Do we have something that's not fan theory? We could just since he we did pull up his video we can Motivates life is strange Okay, we'll do Battlefield now about that.  This is your boy hero here And I know a few of you've been wondering where's the battlefield heart? Uh, guess what you just clicked on one. Let's go. Right now when it did sound better than one of those games, man It's one of those games. It's not, you know It's not about a fifth four. I'm not gonna say it's not about a fifth four I think that's right now your your biggest Downfall between everything is just your audio. It's not terrible. It's good But it could be better at the same time. So Play around with the position. Make sure it's not too close. Make sure it's not too far away And find that happy medium where you can Do your full range of voices with still being heard nicely And there's also ways in post to increase the volume without uh having your audio peak Yeah, as long as you record softly to begin with if you record loud then uh, yeah You're kind of screwed now Seems like there's not any talking anymore. Is that just an intro? I think it's just gameplay for me Gotcha Again, that's another hard one But yeah, I definitely think you have something going with the fan theory stuff people really like that and It's fun to look into after you've played the game. So Very professional maybe after we play we'll come back and give you a better critique personally One thing I do like is is also is his uh the icon and the banner very professional looking than that icon is Yeah, I do like that So looks good All right. So now we're moving on to the home filmmaker And the video was Increasing video quality with using macro or something on this macro Nope Five tips to making better looking videos Yeah, let's try that one. Okay First off these intros here Um, this is clearly a template From the like an after effects template Um, if it's not, I'm sorry, but I've seen a lot of similar stuff to this on after effects You know websites where you can download these templates But I always recommend people if you don't have the know how to sit and make a really fancy intro that you'd like Take these templates, but then run with it Learn little stuff that you can to tweak it and make it your own so it stands out from the rest So that way if someone is able to you know recognize it as a template, it's still yours It's not the creator of the templates. So that way you can still make it your own in a little bit original It was gonna guide something here, uh, you know, you see a lot of youtubers with these very expensive DSLR cameras and you're like, wow, how can I get that good quality? It looks amazing and I don't have very much money. How do you act like me? So, uh, today I'm gonna show you a Couple of tricks to make your video from a non DSLR camera look Hopefully fairly decent or student. Okay. So my first tip for you is of course good lighting and Yeah, it's a very important feature right now. I have so for these type of videos. I'd recommend b roll Because right now I skim through it In the whole entire five minutes are are your face and norah And now you want to talk But yeah, try to get some b roll to Try to get some b roll to top this up a little bit He's mad at us because he's sleeping Yeah, also like he said to uh, cut it out. Yeah, I get some more different shots Simply on this camera simply go on to On any camera just go into the macro mode as long as you can choose different depths in video mode as well Then you'll be fine. So go into macro right now. I have it on west 1.4 On the macro and so I've focused it on my face in my head and then everything else behind it kind of is faded out My next tip is white balance. I don't know if your camera has this depending on the camera But a lot of cameras should have this. Um, white balance is a very important feature If you don't have the proper white balance, your shot will look pretty orange Um, we gotta bribe the dollars to be quiet if you need to set a custom white balance And also one one quick tip When you're gonna set a new Speak to the viewer. It looks like you're speaking to someone off camera. Like you're having a conversation. That's that's not Um Speak into the lens inside so you engage your view. Yeah for sure We'll have the option for that whether it's the video you're definitely looking at it It's just like you're looking away from it like you're kind of intimidated by it Maybe you're reading a screen or you're looking at a monitor or something to see what you're recording So I've definitely been that but when I've done this sit down and talk stuff And it's it takes a lot to make eye contact even though it's not another person It's not too bad a device, but you have to treat it like it's fun And maybe also show examples of what you're talking about You talked about the white balance that is how important that is and yes, it is very important So show show some different like show an off balance like an outdoor go outdoors And show a cool white balance that doesn't look anything like outdoors, you know, and then switch before and after What an outdoor white balance should look like or what? What if there's effects you want to achieve like you want to really like warm lighting indoors show the difference between like You know or the difference of white balance outdoors versus indoors could be just huge I mean keep in mind the people who you're telling this to the people that need to know about it Are the people that have no clue like right there?  I think you just need to try and deliver it A little bit better and also the uh showing examples of what you're talking about. Not only is it extremely informative, but also will Uh pace pace it a little bit better. It'll break up some of the Um, it'll just pace it. That's pretty Mm-hmm Oh Nice, there's a macro shot beautiful Are you showing examples show these throughout the videos you're talking about them. That's yeah Outro simple nice I I do like Beginning area. I don't know if that's stock footage or whatever, but it does look nice And it has a nice Feel uh feel with your trailer here because they both have those little surreal lens flurry overlays to it So it definitely has a nice overall brand So good job there all right guys let's go ahead and See one more because we have time for one more channel before we're done So be sure to put your videos here in the chat for us to check out And then we will check it out and let you know what we think Okay, got the last one What do we got here nuke town adventures episode one. All right. Oh, I thought this was gameplay Yes, it's not Oh, that's episode two. Oh episode one. Sorry spoilers We've got all filmmakers today. Look at that bring you on board So a lot of this is tough because I'm sure you're kind of limited to what quality or what equipment you have Um ideally with a situation like this You'd want to have a microphone over here out of frame or maybe behind the tree aiming at you guys So you can hear what you're saying Because right now you're kind of having to awkwardly angle your bodies to talk to the microphone to pick it up Which is I assume on your on-camera mic But if you don't have the right equipment to do this don't set up that shot Set it up as a closer shot so you can use the on-camera mic or something And I'm gonna talk once again about cinematic expression. That's that's one thing. I'm really big on Is this whole right side of the frame here is now completely well it was for that whole shot completely empty Which is something you kind of want to avoid and if you still want to get him running up in the background to your tree You can definitely do that But just angle the camera a little bit so you got him on the left I mean framing is all in thirds too is what they teach you I mean you can go outside that rule I've heard other rules of framing like in triangles with eyes and face, but whatever I'm not gonna get into that But if I mean there's ways to angle the camera angles angles angles angles angles angles Angles is what's been pounded into my head when I was learning cinematography and You can still get that cinematic expression. You can still get that That closed frame and those thirds With that angle that you use and it won't have that I've always been told it's awkward space. It's just space that's just open and there's nothing happening in that space I mean That's just that that's really big at least for me Yeah, and so there's there's ways use your angles to to close off those spaces And you can practice the shots over and over and then change your angle if you don't like it Yeah throughout film school We were always taught that for one there's a tripod leg right here, but uh, we were always taught that every time you blink That should be a cut to a new angle Now there's sometimes there's an exception if you want to have like a more impactful shot that long that drags out longer But on average all of your clips here lasting a minute to like a minute and 10 You know, they're they're longer clips That's different. That's not what we're talking about But like, you know, they there should be more cuts throughout it more angles More stuff to really sell what you guys are doing So it looks like you guys have a fun story that you're trying to tell here. You just need to find a way to Capture that better to tell that story And not only that the one thing that's awesome here is that like they're having fun in general Yeah, that is that is I mean to me. That's the reason why I do film I don't do it for anything other other reason that I love it and I think it's the most I think it's it's fun. That's why I do it I love the fact that you got into a play and then cut to a Grand Theft Auto of it playing or whatever game that was So you can actually get the flying footage That's that's a good use of what you have That's cool Yeah, once again be aware of that that open space you have on the left and right of your frame there So I think right now you need to focus on Since I mean, it's obvious that you guys just Are kind of lacking equipment to get those perfect sounding shots and stuff Maybe just focus on Where can you put the camera to get the best audio for these shots? Because that will start developing what you can and can't do with the shots So, you know, like right now we're talking we're going to want to put the microphone right here Which means the camera needs to be right here. So it's going to be a close-up on us But that's going to be, you know, we want to move at some point. We want to move over here So I'm going to be out of frame. So I'm going to reset the camera over here And now you can still hear us. Okay And if you can hear us, okay throughout the whole video and we're on screen the whole time And you're going to start building, you know, your scenes and your shots accordingly So ideally obviously getting extra microphone, but if you can't or don't have the ability to then that's Kind of what you have to work with Two things that I was told when I was young When I was just doing films for I was, you know, young and just doing whatever I didn't really know much about cinematography two things that I was Pieces of knowledge that were imparted on me. I mean, I was really young 15 16 were with to help me with that that framing Was the secret to good films or good filmmaking cinematography is tight shots in number two Any open frame needs to be used at some point So if even if you do leave part of that frame open, it has to be for someone to exit or enter vice versa, you know To walk in to walk out things like that And I've carried that with me and learned much about cinematography since then but those are still the two principles I really keep and then uh, sorry Nothing to do with what you're doing But random question is this in Dayton, Ohio? Because I think I've been on this airbase before. It's very cool too. Yeah Looks like that's the presidential plane I think this is the one that Kennedy was on or something or other actually flew in And they have like a bunch of the These were like that one was in the Avengers Nice something else If I'm not mistaken So I'm curious to wait for a response there and see if he answers us But yeah guys that was uh That was our time here I'm running out of voice My voice is starting to get lost because I'm talking so much.
