Production value: what's your money actually worth? (VIDEO)

12/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Sometimes it's hard to actually show how budgets effect photo and video production value. In this example, Sandwich Video was asked to create three separate campaign videos about the same product - each on separate budgets of $1,000, $10,000, and $100,000.

While I don't do video, I found this to be a really helpful explanation of how a budget impacts what we (as creatives) are able to accomplish for our clients.

Can you tell the difference?

I found these videos to be extremely helpful. What do you think?

Ever wonder what the difference is between a speedlight and a strobe? Each is a type of flash that could be used for various purposes. A tiny intro is featured on today's PhotoVlog!

​As always, if you have any questions, feel free to comment below or shoot me an email!

Gels are used with flash to add color to photos - think of it like a filter. Today, I'll explain how simple it is to start getting creative with color!
Links, as promised!
  • Large gels
  • MagMod gels (used with MagGrip)
  • Gel swatches

(If you're just getting started with flash, check out this video first.)

How to use a reflector instead of flash

3/8/2019

​If you're indoors and feel like you can't get great natural lighting, head to a window and use a reflector - no flash involved!
Reflectors make a HUGE difference - and are a cheap way to achieve lighting needs.

​If you're looking for a reflector, you've got options!
  • 60"x40" reflector for $100 (the one in this video)
  • 30" reflector for $30

A big thanks to Megan, owner of Studio 614 (where we shot the video!), for being a model and helping create the video. :)
