In this video I’m walking you through my filming setup for 2020, but from my actual perspective—what I’m looking at when I’m standing in front of the camera talking to you. I break down how I frame myself, how I monitor focus and composition, and how I light the space even though my living room basically opens up into the rest of the apartment (all the way to the kitchen). Audio is a big focus here too, because in a big open room I want the cleanest sound I can get. I show my full rig: my Sony A7S in a cage with a Tilta follow focus, plus an Ikan VH8 monitor mounted with a SmallRig-style magic arm setup so I can flip it around for talking head or B-roll. For lenses, I’ve been running Rokinon Cine glass (24, 35, 50, 85) because the geared rings make pulling focus way easier, and I explain how I use each focal length for A-roll vs product shots. I also go over my GVM 800D RGB lights (and why simple lighting + diffusion helps me a ton), my Rhino EVO slider for those slow product moves, and the fluid-head Sachtler Ace tripods I’m borrowing. The big takeaway: none of this is “spectacular”—it’s mostly secondhand gear that lets me keep improving while the channel grows.
