Sonne just registered a high end emailed
camera in China this all according to
Sony rumors why is this so exciting well
for almost 5 years we've been waiting
for the follow-up to the a7s2 and we're
also expecting the ACM for to be coming
out soon we have sony having their
virtual press conference on this
Thursday at noon New York time or 9
o'clock Pacific time so this is really
exciting
now last week on the 20th I believe it
was the 20 I might have my dates wrong
but I believe it was on the 20th Sony no
well actually Sony had previously
announced that they were gonna do this
virtual press conference but then Kenan
a few hours later came out said yeah you
know what we're gonna go ahead and hold
our virtual press conference one hour
after you man we're gonna steal all your
thunder well it didn't say we're going
to steal all your thunder but Sony
didn't want to have to compete with
Kenan Sony didn't want Canon to have the
last word so Sony went ahead moved it to
this Thursday the 30th but what's really
interesting here is on the 20th yes it
was all about broadcast cinema equipment
we got a new camera from Canon we got
some new cinema lenses and some new
technology but right at the end as
expected while they didn't announce the
r5 they did tease us with some more
video specifications this Thursday sony
has to deliver more than just broadcast
and cinema technology at the very least
they have to tease us about the a7 s3 or
the a7 for at the very least they have
to answer to Canada and I strongly
believe they're going to do that I'm
gonna be watching this conference I'm
gonna be keying the interest to see what
I'm very excited I love Sony I think
Sony makes some great cameras yes I'm
shooting on a 7 year old canon and yes I
tend to focus on Canon more but there's
a very simple reason for that Canon
leaks information like nobody else
there's so much information coming out
Sony it's like being in the desert very
little information comes down I don't
even have specs for these rumored
cameras we can make assumptions sony has
said that the a7 s3 is going to exceed
our expectations but I don't know what
that means the r5 exceeded my
expectations is the a7 s3 going to take
a different approach or they gonna use a
global shutter are they gonna go with 6k
r 8k video I don't know I I don't think
that's the main concern right now this
is only two days away what is really
important is do they make any
announcement at all is that a
development announcement do they come up
with a full specifications do they do a
bit of a dog and pony show if they don't
announce something that's significant in
itself because this is a great
opportunity for Sony to talk to their
fans to talk to the market and say look
this is what we've been working on this
is very exciting
last year I was seriously looking at
getting the a7 s3 but I've heard nothing
over the actually since 2018 I've been
looking at the a7 s3 but we've gotten
absolutely nothing there's been some
rumors leaking but how credible are they
this is very little coming out so I'm
really excited to see what the a7 s3 is
gonna look like is this gonna grab our
attention back is Sony gonna wake up
because I really feel that over the last
couple years Sony has been taking a bit
of a nap they've kind of fallen into
that what I would call a Canon malaise
they've just they're not hitting out
with major new amounts of announcements
each year it seems to be more iterative
releases and again it doesn't mean that
the a7 s3 itself is a bad camera or that
some of other the a9 is a bad camera not
at all
but this is Sony we're used to getting
major updates major announcements and
not just me a lot of us feel that Sony
has kind of led us down so hopefully we
will get some sort of announcement on
the a7 s3 this Thursday the virtual
press conference is definitely worth
watching
Canon's was it was exciting then right
at the end they dropped the r5 video
specifications in detail so I really
hope that Sony's gonna do the same thing
for us here at Cirque show some love
they're gonna announce either the a
semaphore that they're working on with
specifications are they're going to do
the a7 s3 and I really hope it's the a7
s3 because it'll be five years this
October five years that's an eternity if
we look at Moore's Law that's almost
three generations well it's two
generations but I'm kind of excited here
I'm kind of hyped up because this is one
of those announcements that we've been
looking for all year and for some of us
for four or five years yeah so pretty
exciting
in this episode of behind the scenes I
want to address some recent changes I've
made you might notice that the lighting
appears a little different that I kind
of stand out from the background a
little bit more this all started this
past weekend when I was doing a video
with Ian Robinson
Ian also uses a green-screen but Ian's
was so much easier to edit when he sent
me the video and the the image to apply
to his green-screen I'm more or less
just put the video down I put down the
image layer and then all I did is just
drag the keyer over and Boop everything
worked or pop I shouldn't say poop
especially this early in the morning it
worked it was just incredible and so I
got frustrating they're like why is this
so much more difficult for me I'm having
to work with Matt functions I'm Emma
there's probably about five or six
different things I'm fiddling around
with in the keyer to get the
green-screen to work for me so I spent
time on the green-screen I made sure it
was completely flat I tighten it up I
don't care that I change the lights on
the front of me here these two front
lights the left one has been moved over
a little bit more so it's a bit more
symmetrical the ring light here is a
little bit lower down on the table but
the real big news here are you ready for
this this goes against everything
they've said on the who I shouldn't say
set on the Internet
this goes against what most people are
saying on YouTube so let's recap a
little bit I've got two lights in front
of me but they're not shining directly
on me they're not even shining at an
angle they're actually facing directly
into each other and then I've given them
a very slight tilt towards me now the
back I have one LED light hanging from
the ceiling pointing directly at the
back of me and that's lighting me up
that's it I don't have any lights
pointing to the green screen none none
whatsoever
and you'll see a lot of you or you'll
watch a lot of videos and they'll say
well you want at least one or two lights
in front of you now preferably a ring
like pointing right at you or other
lights that are kind of angled at you at
around 45 degrees then you should
probably also have about two lights
aimed at the green screen and the ones
in the front should have about 5,600
degrees the ones at the back should have
around 3,300 degrees now the color
temperature I've kept that
and all the lights pointed towards me
have a temperature of 5,600 including
this ring light here the one pointing on
the back of me well it's also at 5600
the ones at 3300 well they're disabled
I've removed two different I've removed
three lights from my system and I think
I'm getting much better results so the
lesson learned here is YouTube is a
great place of information I do my best
to give you information as well reason
why I do these behind the scenes is to
give you my lessons learned as I'm going
ahead at five thousand subs I will do
another recap of how I got to five
thousand subs and what I did but I want
to give you little tidbits little lesson
learns as I go along because the amount
of time I'm putting into learning these
things is horrendous
on Sunday I spent at least four hours
fiddling with lighting then yesterday
after work I spent another hour tweaking
it that doesn't include the dozens of
hours I've probably spent on lighting to
the state and I'd say dozens is probably
putting it lightly it's amazing the
amount of effort it goes into tweaking
these things now if I was a lighting
expert I'd probably have it nailed
properly if I could bring somebody into
my home and set it up for me that would
help but you see I'm also having to sit
down shoot something change the settings
go look at it
make justice again sometimes what I'll
do is I'll get my remote here and I'll
start adjusting it so I can adjust the
level of the light so this is really
nice what I like about the godox is it
comes with a remote control and what I
can do with the remote control is I can
set each light to a different channel
and so each light can be controlled by
separate my mode I can have one control
to control them all I can set the color
temperature between I think it's around
3200 - I don't know maybe 6000 I've
never gone past 5600 but I can also
change the brightness and that's very
very helpful so I'll sit here all adjust
the settings and then I'll preview
well I'll preview it in the computer but
it's very important to bring it into the
computer because on the LCD on the back
of the camera there's just not enough
detail but that's what I've done
recently so hopefully it looks a little
better I'm tweaking it each
I'm tweaking I'm trying something
different I'm changing the clothing to
see how that works
unfortunate a lot of my clothing has
some sort of green on it which with the
green screen doesn't work as well am I
gonna ditch the green screen eventually
but there's no real rush for doing that
right now
my goal isn't to try to put on a really
posh or beautiful looking set that's
stunning
that's gonna take time it's gonna take
some money and right now I can't even
bring any trades in and it's very hard
to go out get materials so I'm focusing
mostly on the presentation and I think
that is what has changed most over the
past several months so thank you very
