okay super exciting morning super hectic I'm meeting up with James Matthews media basically he's on board as the videographer and he shooting the promo for Accra so I don't think I can show you the actual promo because it'll take him a while to edit it but I'll show you guys you know how we go about it we're here with James scandal yeah he brought that huge bag with all the equipment on the train on the train if I'm not sitting on the chain yeah I know we're just waiting outside at Morris house Maci she said
I went on like a cool location and somewhere near here she has like a pretty cool rooftop for like an interview setting but she's sick and she's at a friend's house but she's on her way so she's we're just waiting last night was a Sunday but again she's on half-term tomorrow watches every single one of these yeah all right so we're in a Morris house getting everything set up lights Mike pretty cool location wicked at location yeah so uh what do we have to write so we're gonna set up a free light setup so this
light I'm sitting up here is gonna be the backlight so I'm own it's gonna be sitting here Jeff's board looks quite nice Islands me sitting here and that back light there is just going to give a little bit of edge room light on his back here and a little bit across his ear in his hair that light is known as a backlight or a hair light basically he's gonna be keyed the key light is gonna be I'm going to decide what you want to want to do from this side because I'm shooting this way and
we're going to be looking primarily at kind of the left side of his face so probably came from the left and then a feel on the right and I wanted to create some distance between him and the background so we can kind of blur out the background a little bit if we have like a nice wide open aperture I'm gonna be shooting at 1.8 this thing here this is a boom we're gonna be sticking the microphone on here so we can get some really nice sharp audio really really close and yeah these lights are at
3200 color temperature Kelvin so they're gonna be nice and warm we've got some blue light coming in which is daylight which would actually give like a nice bit of color contrast and then along the back we've got super super nice background and it actually fits really really nicely with a narrative that we're trying to tell so and the practical lights just look awesome I love a practical light in my interview so yeah cool then we send up here shooting with the ACMs to this shoot in 4k so we can actually shoot like a mid shot
and then we can crop into like a mid close as in when we want to yeah just shoot with a little nifty 50 on there we didn't want to go in too mad don't need luck and it's super super good lens for this so just like a 1 as long as I'm like 1.8 I'm happy this one first interview so yeah talk well go on what's going on my man's left his camera down here so I'm just gonna take over his Logtown so yeah what's going on everyone we just talked through the light and set
up I'm gonna have him sat there I've defer got to say that I'm gonna defuse these lights so these two here at diffuse you see like the the cloth in front of him that's basically like I don't know what to call that the diffusion paper so basically just increases the area of the light which basically makes it a lot softer so less shadows and things like that that's to put it really really simply so them to a diffused and that backlight there is gonna be really really hard on his back so we got soft lights
and a hard light ice caught me caught me he's caught me vlogging on his camera quick turn it off how do I turn it off everything packed I don't know it's so much like darker now thanks for letting me use your house don't like my drink what do you do Oh drape why cuz this is birthday yeah peace and love Drake hate why oh there we go hey everybody Oh guys still shooting it's been like three and a half four hours at this point just walking around we just went to water stops again a bookstore
scene now we're going back to Mars pick up our stuff and then we're gonna go again at Chipotle he's actually never had a Chipotle I'm pausing which is I'm positive it's scary it's scary it's scary that he's never had a Chipotle and then after that we're going to like Millennium Bridge City Hall's Cathedral get some more shots just end off this problem video just so bad for James you wanted the truth first time to taste us this day I'm a bit nervous now nice madmen so next location Parliament Square so we're all done with the
