All language subtitles for Gearing up for B-roll shooting

day 2 time for some B roll

Greg myself

and the crew were trying to work

off of the truck as much as possible

we have about a half ton truck with a bunch of stuff

for the shoot

but we need to keep our footprint small

this is a working brewery

and we don't want to set up a whole bunch of stuff

we don't want to stage stuff in their working spaces

so what we've done is built up a cart

and we have pretty much

all the stuff that we're gonna be working with over

the next couple of days to shoot all the B roll

the cutaways

all that kind of stuff

that little insert shots um

I'd say No. 1 thing is

battery powered as much as possible

and that means for cameras and also for lights

so we've got

the C100 Mark 2

it's built up on the movie M5 with a wide lens

great thing about a wide lens is deep

depth the fields

we might even stop the camera down

the magic is in flying the camera

it's in the movement

it's in the Gib shots

all that stuff

so we don't have to shoot everything super shallow

when we're on that

uh we'll do some other stuff

maybe later on

on a slider

throw a prime lens on there

and we can do some nice pushes uh

and then shoot at a shallow adept the field

but that's also ready to go

we can do locked off shots on that slider as well

because it's on sticks

and then as far as lightning

uh some of the fixtures we talked about yesterday

we've got the little Matchbox battery powered

we've got the Maverick

battery powered

we've got the 1 by 1 bicolor

battery powered

down there on the bottom shelf

will probably pull out the light panels

1 by 1 battery powered

the little space light

probably won't use it over there in the brewery

for the brewing process

but maybe in here in the tasting room tomorrow night uh

so that stuff

and then we will plug some lights in

and just looking at the space over there

there's a lot of stuff going on in there

there's a lot of ambient light

we've got a big skylight in there

a lot of stuff coming in

so I think that what will wind up happening

is Greg will set up some jokers

we've got a Joker 200

but I have a feeling we might put a 400 up

or maybe an 800 or combination of both

move them around

those are not gonna be battery powered

for what we're doing though

we could actually battery power

you know uh

200 or 400 if we needed to

but they do pull

quite a bit of juice so um

I think we'll probably just run stingers for that

the lowcaster from Ari

we can change color temperature on that

nice little unit

we can run that off of a battery and run around with it

if we need to

we can set it on the stand

um coming back over to the cart

some lenses that we can pull

primes and zooms

and then I've got a couple other tools here

including light meters

uh light meters are great for lighting

for ratios because we can actually walk into a space

and we can actually take meter readings

without even having a stand in there

and we can make some adjustments

and this is called the Spectrum Master C700

it's a special color meter from Seconic

and if you've ever used a color meter

older color meters

don't really work well with LED

in fluorescent fixtures

they're fine for daylight

tungsten units

traditional ones

and things like that

but this is actually designed to have the sensors

and what it needs to tell us

when we are using

lights like these

and fluorescence

which may not have full color spectrum

and so it'll show us that

and give us

you know what we need to know

and whether or not we need to add magenta

for instance

and all of the good stuff

it's expensive

but quite honestly

I have it in my bag all the time

because there are times where I walk into a space

where we have to use

the light that's there

the practicals

and they have to stay on

and I kind of need to know what's

happening with the color temperature

and while you'll get an idea

and you'll say oh

that's daylight

or that's tungsten

this will nail it

so I think it's very

very valuable

and this meter does a lot of things

but it is not a

traditional light meter

it's specifically for color information

um again working off the truck

uh definitely gonna build up a frame or two

at least a 6 by 6

we may need an 8 by 8

and Greg and I have talked that out yesterday

and how we wanna make sure that we are

essentially controlling and softening some of

the light that's coming in from outside

but at the same time

not seeing traffic passing by

all the time

it's a brewery

we're gonna see all that stuff

there's a lot of reflections going on in the space

and it's gonna be a lot nicer if we're not

seeing those in the frame

we have ideas

we have specific shots

we need to show

this brewing process

today they're brewing a coffee IPA

and Casey's gonna walk through with us

where each of these things happen

and then we're gonna place lights

so that we can cover that

and then we've got these battery powered lights

so that Greg can follow

and make sure that we can

just kind of lift

each of those scenes

and we'll break those down

in another part of the video
