As promised, this is the second video in a series I’m producing on how to shoot video outdoors. In this installment I introduce you to another critical tool for outdoor lighting. It’s the old reliable reflector. Additionally I show different types of reflectors and review the advantages and disadvantages of them. Also, I show how the reflector changes the image.

This is a popular request I get: Will you please show different ways of shooting video outdoors, when you don’t have all the comforts of a studio?
That’s a big request, and there’s a lot to cover, so this installment of Izzy Video will get the ball rolling. This one is all about diffusion. I’ve touched on the subject in the past, but this episode goes more in-depth and does a better job of covering gear.
UPDATE: Several people have asked me to post a link to the Scrim Jim Kit that I show in this video. Here it is: Scrim Jim Broadcast Location Kit – Large
You can watch Izzy Video episode 121 here.
As I mention in the video, this is the first part of a series of tutorials on the subject of shooting video outdoors. There’s plenty to talk about, so there’s no way to fit it into one episode. If you’re new to Izzy Video, I recommend you subscribe to the RSS feed in iTunes to ensure you get the future episodes.
If you want to see every episode in the series, you’ll need to be an Izzy Video Member. Members always get more. If you’re new, you might want to learn about an Izzy Video Membership.

This topic has been a popular request. Especially after the last episode where I showed how to create a black background, several viewers wrote to ask me to please show how to create a white background.
This video will show you how to create a completely white background. It’s more complicated than creating a black background, but it’s still pretty easy. You just have to know what to do. This video will show you.
This tutorial is for members only. If you would like to learn more about an Izzy Video Membership, please visit this page.
