This week I’m doing something a little fun and different. This installment of Izzy Video is a pop quiz that will test how well you know the concepts discussed in previous episodes.
Spill light can be somewhat frustrating to work with, so in this installment of Izzy Video, I review a few methods to reduce it. The tool I show in the last part of the video is particularly useful, and I highly recommend it for your setup.
Incidentally, the reason why this video has this certain “look” is because I was experimenting with special effects in Apple’s Color, and frankly I just thought I look cool with a bleach-bypass filter. Nope, there’s no other reason. Just thought it looked cool. :-)
Sometimes I think we forget this. Although I’ve spent the last two years demonstrating ways to improve imagery, sound, editing, color, and so on, the most important thing to remember is that “content is king.”
This video has been viewed more than 30 million times. It’s not because of the lighting. It’s because of the content.
