7D, T2i Stabilizer Show Down! Q and Erik

[PaperBagStudios]

Hey Eric my family is staying at the Lucerne hotel until Friday and my ten year old brother loves this show. You guys have pretty much decided his career for him and it would mean the world to him if he could meet you. If you are interested, please respond ahead of time so that we could be here. Thank you(:

[Fredrik951753]

I love your face :3

[cdavis2260]

I shoot weddings, speakers before an audience, events and indie film. I have a Senn wireless lavalier. Should I get a Rode stereo videomic or the Rode stereo videomic or something else?

[thepugdog101]

does anyone else think erik looks like spielberg?

[KrykoStorm]

Anyone know what mic they are using?

[Fisk4Ever]

@KrykoStorm I think its a Zoom H4n

[OfficiNonProductions]

@KrykoStorm Probably røde.

[bestsupscriptions]

@KrykoStorm They're using a Zoom H4n recording onto a lav mic.

[GanEdenAustralia]

This guy waffles on and says very little, pointless! Thumbs down!

[GanEdenAustralia]

WHAT ABOUT FOR A CAMCORDER???

[celldweller1982]

I Like Mine Better i used pvc and it only cost me $10

[XCasperProductionsX]

Eric, I'm looking for some stuff to make my point and shoot style camera look cooler, perhaps a matte box and a shoulder rig thing, any suggestions?

[gphiproductions]

Good info! 

G-Phi

[dickdog75]

cool video. the opteka looks like something i would like but i think i am goiing to hold off

[actingzach]

i used the cowboy studio stabilizer, added cavision rods and handles, and an indisystem follow focus. works on a charm.

[gder01]

A+ more of this show plz. Tiered of the mediocre bfx builds

[thelegokid10]

I need to find the slip joint extention tubes for the lightsaber!!!

[damoviemaking1]

when you make your stunt dummy how do you fix the height!

[BIGD9393]

I like the $30 rig but I'll add some stuff to it.

[moukidelmar]

Do you guys have any tips for filming in very low light? I'm trying to get a vampire movie together, but the lighting is problematic at night and I don't really have a lot of money for a lighting bunget

[triadmanager91]

I have a canon t2i, and I want to get a follow focus for my camera but they are little out of my range, any follow focuses that are in the 50 to 100 dollar price range?

[36gregross]

Eric lose the beard u look like a goat

[anzorchavchavadze]

i liked a nerd notes please keep writing them

[DeadMonk3yFilms]

Hey Eric, awesome vid, but ya know what would make it even better? if you showed us how stable the video from each stabilizer.

[tuckerartisan]

jag35.com has the low best budget system ive ever used. (5dmk2)

[greenmonkeycheese]

Hey Eric, was just wondering if you could reccomend a decent camera for under £1000 to shoot with that has an external mic. port and manual adjustable focus!?

[ProductoraNeverMore]

@greenmonkeycheese i have an amazing canon legria FS306 and it costs around 300€ or a bit less its really good im having fun with it!

[AV32productions]

@greenmonkeycheese a canon t2i is what you need. i got mine for around $750

[filmingnut]

So this means the old BFX is back again I guess. :D

[csp070789]

you look either tired or high lol

[TzumB]

Yay! Eric is finally Beck!

[Vendoman500]

the t31 just came out so yeah boobies

[JotaLegendOfficial]

I bought the T2i with two lenses last week... It is cool!! and under $300?!?!?

[crisssb]

I always wonder If you can make or point out which is the best DYI merlin stabilizer

[AV32productions]

when will this be on the indy mogul site?

[LightningPr0ducti0ns]

I am looking for a camera mount to attach to a car under $100 Bucks. Thanks

[GlowyKangaroo]

@LightningPr0ducti0ns

use a lot of duct tape

[thebaloob123]

I'm so happy to see erik again!

[shumworld]

Is this your new office Eric?

[ConnorGunn]

Oh my god I care about indy mogul again! :D

[0nderandereN]

[indymogul]

@0nderandereN incompetech is a good choice

[AnthonyArroyoFilms]

@0nderandereN I always get my music from musicbeyond(dot)com they have amazing stuff and it is free to download!

[zukrayz]

WHY ARE YOUR EYES SO SQUINTY ERIK!??!??!!!!?! BAKED OUT OF HIS TITS!!

[zukrayz]

WHY ARE YOUR EYES SO SQUINTY ERIK!??!??!!!!?!

[freekuvnatur]

I already bought the 30 dollar one. Like, just now.

[Wubalubaloo]

@musstakrakish There's like 15 days of shipping so idk yet. I hope it's good! It was an impulse buy because of the price hahaha

[Pottunator]

@Pottunator ...finally adjust everything so it's just right. Use a tripod when filming to reduce shaking.

[Pottunator]

@ColombianForLife 1.shoot the footage you want of the actor from where the mirror will be 2.Shoot footage of the mirror and the surroundings 3. Shoot footage of the actor from behind him/her in front of a greenscreen, repeating the same moves as in step one 4. Bring everything in your editing program. 5. Crop the footage of step one into the mirror of the footage from step 2. Then place the footage from step 3 on top of everything and key out the green. Also flip the footage of step 1 and final

[Eldejot]

That lens flare gag made me crack up too hard. Much too hard. :D

[santaslayers]

pause at 0:13 wierd!

[torodi1995]

REALLY happy ur back Eric :D:D:D:D

[ColombianForLife]

Ok, here's a filmmaking question that has been rounding on my head for a couple of days now:

How can you do a frontal shot of a mirror? Like an overshoulder take of someone looking himself at the mirror.

[Onimusha2nd]

no link for your new channel in the description

[ZachMoFoSho]

What about TWO Opteka shoulder mounts and connecting them at the handles?

[jeffersonlambert20]

Canon 50mm f/1.8 is a great lens for film!

[shadowblack1987]

Canon Fail.

[Leader509]

Is there a good video recorder for under 400 bucks...and do you know what kind of tripod i should get? or could you help me build a tripod

[TheNarwolf]

hey i have the same crappy mini marshal amp!

[jackTHErampage]

what are good beginner video cameras for cheap

[RenderingGlintFilms]

Did you guys know that the Casey guy that asked the question was the kid who tazed that guy in the hangover? :O!

[DemiTheCameraMan]

Good info THANKS! I'm gonna investigate the Cowboy rig. I just did a series on 5D filmmaking. Cheers!

[aerosoladdiction]

i like nikon better

[CliffyGiffy]

I know this probably a broad question, but I'm looking for a good quality video camera for under 600 bucks, do you think you could help me out?

Thanks :)

[mushroomshrub]

Q? I don't see no John De Lancie!

(If you get that you're awesome!)

[laportrem]

yah! wahoo ERIK IS BACK!

[lods321]

If i plan on filming in a mall would i need to get permission from the owner or would i be allowed to bring tri-pods and all other kinds of filming technologies?

[dominobauer1995]

I´ve got the second shoulder rig today :-)

[machinegunmana]

the silly cuts and voice backs are lame

[HillierSmithStudios]

What about the Hague Steadicams? They are very useful!

[Hazelnutfilling]

how do they make babies/toddlers cry in movies?

[THATSBAM]

okay so how do I get my actors to do what I say

[yuujinmikeru]

Nice to see you in front of the camera again Erik. We missed you.

[toadenk]

I feel like I am going to really enjoy this show



[MrWhoization]

210th comment! WOOHOO!

[Trampathon]

YAY

[robojot]

getting a cheap follow focus for dslr .. diy or buy cheap :D!

[LegoNationAnimations]

i think gary should say the question and u answer it :D

[MrSmallButBrave]

erik is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ck!

[LookB3hindU]

It's far more inconvenient to screw on a lens filter when you end up having to change filters for your next shot. A matte box fixes this as you don't have to remove your lens or camera from your mount and you can simply take the filter out of the matte box and replace it with your new one.

Could you try going over a nice cheap way to make a decent matte box (not the tupperware variant)

[acinemanearyou]

what is the best camera to get for under £600.

[omegakleb]

@indymogul What is the BEST editing software? i would really like to know

[DuckHouseProductions]

@omegakleb again, depends on your budget and platform windows upto £100 premiere elements 8 (not 9) above that you have loads of others but my favorite is premiere pro cs5

for mac final cut express for under £150 and final cut pro studio for some more

[EmilLoveFingerboard]

Stop at 0:11

[missmuffinlover123]

Well I have a really small frame, and if after awhile the first one started to hurt I'll have to go with the second.

[enterjames]

when did you meet JJ Abrams!?

[RedOnyxProductions]

This is great we get Zack on BFX and Erik on his own new show! Yay!

[NoPointSketch]

I got the t2i with a Canon 18-200mm It's handy for peoples that want a cool zoom lens, but i want to make real-clean-awsome-goodlooking movies. Do you have anything to suggest for about the same price? Please reply.

[whiteandnerdy2damax]

ERIK IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[300warrior300]

I bought a little lens hood for my little camcorder for £5. It's visual awesomeness is now increased by warp factor 7

[11Entertainment2]

I am so happy

[WiiPownes]

So.... Many.... Questions... My brain can't handle it.

[JippaLippa]

What Lens Should I Buy for Filmaking on a T2i and Spend Less then 350$?

[crysisguy05]

@JippaLippa canon 50mm 1.4\85mm 1.8, based on your neads..

[digitalgraphixvideos]

@JippaLippa try the light wide angle lens "Canon EF 35mm f/2 " 303$else Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II 119.95$ @amazon

[DuckHouseProductions]

@JippaLippa depends on your budget - i would say canon 50mm 1.8f for £99 or 50mm 1.4f for £300 and then you have 50mm 1.2f for £1200

[VishalSinghFilms]

@JippaLippa 50 OR 30mm f/1.8 if you don't wanna drop the money for a f/1.4

[Purdyc12393]

@JippaLippa 50mm 1.8, or 1.4 or maybe a 28-135 IS lens. depends on what you want - zoom range/Image Stabilization/Lowlight capabilities/shallow DOF

[MrJippaLippa]

@JippaLippa i ment a zoom lens

[maxbakerman]

@JippaLippa also get a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8

[percussionchica101]

@JippaLippa 50mm f1.8. Only about $100. The 18-55mm is good for wide angle shots, otherwise go for a lens with 16-..., but they might be more expensive than $350.

[MaghoxFr]

@JippaLippa You might want to look for the nifty fifty, it's cheap and fast. It's a 50mm prime, with f 1.4 (or 1.2)

[RobertGoulet298]

@MaghoxFr I think you mean f1.8 or f1.4.... the 1.2 is not cheap.... the 1.8 is about $50, the 1.4 is about $300.

[MaghoxFr]

@RobertGoulet298 Yes, my mistake, you are right, but I think the prices are a bit higher ;)

[RobertGoulet298]

@MaghoxFr Ah, now I've made the mistake, haha. I was thinking 50mm, $50... but it's more like $100 like he said in the video. Looks like the 1.4 has gone up in price... it's an amazing lens. I got it a while back and it was around $340 or so.

[TheFrameHunters]

nice episode

[PirateFromVoid]

nice marshall mini amp on 0:41 :D

[veneratedaniel]

1:56 <- keep clicking 

[MUDSWAT]

Thank you very much, I was wondering how to make a good one steady cam.

[rbaradoy]

q and erik no one has gone over how to shop for lens's... what to look for ..a general summary does not have to be for a specific camera. f stop to shop for and not to 15mm- 400mm?????

[debiancool]

the 30 buck rig looks better for the average home video maker, so that is to choice.

Cool video

[UThinkUKnowMe42]

your trying too hard

[redcrowdesign]

Thanks for the tips dude!

[YRUIM]

i want to see you eat a cookie!

[tonysvlog2]

@YRUIM wtf

[meattube2009]

erik beck has a mmj card i bet, he always looks medicated nothing like his clear eyes early work

[david56dbz]

i still think your better off wiith a DIY fig rig. just because its stable and more versitile for shooting with

[KawaiiHD]

I buyed exactly the same thing you showed at the and a few weeks ago... its really cool, i got it on ebay...

[madskizophrenik]

Wow watching this video makes me think of how much I still need to learn...I just got into photography and I own a Canon AR-1 Program and recently got a Caso Exilim EX-FH25 High Speed Camera...and Im way far behind when it comes to photography. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate them XD

Great vid by the way...I checked the rig that the guy build and damn its a beast!!!

[iammichaelkui]

this "30 USD" thing, in china just selling 10 USD

[ezekijelAE]

dealextreme. com/c/photo-camera-806

[jeremyshaw]

Yay! Eric's back! I'm totally gonna sub your Q and Eric channel! Good to see you have a regular in front of the camera, man! Awesome tips, too! Thanks!

[jackeyramone]

Fig rig; got mine for £30 and i LOVE IT!!

It's great to see Eric back!!

[Stefsparrow1]

Can you use these on a non-detachable lens camera like the Sony DSC-HX1 ? love the show !!

[jackeyramone]

I'm getting the t2i next week (or as we call it over here the 550d!!)

[jeddr1]

i missed you eric, and i missed q and eric

[peetyweety]

I have a few red rock set-ups and some other rail based gear, and I have to say, the easiest thing to run and gun with, is the $24.95 shoulder plastic thing.

It is weird and uncomfortable, but it comes through. Gives me moments of hands free and makes me want to lose weight so it will fit properly on my man boob.

[joejumps4fun]

You can't go wrong with this one, and for the money and ease to build it:

watch?v=A_CrvVsVdww

trust me--it works like a CHARM!

[BBoyRaiden712]

How can I rig a Spring action Airsoft Gun so that every time the trigger is pulled that slider comes back like a semi-auto handgun?

[joejumps4fun]

Um...image stabilizer on a DSLR only works for photos

[LiveShowFilms]

Second rig because I've used it and its pretty fantastic!

[garrettgibbons]

Oh, and you totally left out the awesomezor Spiderbrace!!! It's $70 or so and has the nice double (triple option) handle that makes it uber steady.

I'd like to see an episode on car mounts and cheap gyro solutions!!!!!

[garrettgibbons]

FYI, the IS on Canon lenses doesn't work while shooting video, with the exception of the newer 100mm 2.8 macro, which has the new video-enabled IS system. Ask Vincent Laforet about it sometime.

[wolf40k]

I'd go for the $30 rid because I'm poor.

[schroedertime]

YESSSSSSSSSSS ITS BACCCCKKKK

[jack130788]

Erik Beck is back on a weekly basis =D !!

[JamesRPatrick]

I would go for the plastic one and add a handle.

[6production9]

Never new he had a tattoo? What is it?

[larybobjoeguy]

can you use, for example, a DVX 100b the one he got from cowboy studios ?

[Frederick13rl]

Yesss! Erik Beck!!!

[WelschVideo]

It's better to shoot without IS anyways, doesn't it degrade the image up to 10%

[tongannewsnetwork]

Cheesy Cam.com is way better then indymogul period.

[soneeday]

I like the Cowboy rig but just wondering about the Cowboy shoulder support before I buy it... do you get some movement when you shoot with that chest support being so close to your rib cage?

[thiskidglows]

I'm so happy you are back!!!! i really only watch the shows you are on here!!

AHHHHH!!

[RigoDiscua]

You talked about the Canon 7D having an unstable shot without help of a shoulder stabilizer. Would investing in such camera be a wise choice or a complete money spender(having to buy so many things in order for video to look great); will the video quality be that unstable?

[zipperthehamster]

i can haz daft punk helmet tutorial

[zipperthehamster]

how about i just play baby on the piano

[ParodieGermany]

<----- iPhone 4 und iMac Gewinnspiel !!!

Rauf da und mitmachen (TugayBeatbox hat auch mitgemacht)

Nur bis zum 28.02 !!!

[PharaChris]

yay he's back!

[DoodMan7392]

Erik Beck, could you show a cheap way to get the same feel as a "redrock" on an HPX170 on the same sorts of DSLR's as this episode?

[JohnnyBlazeGR]

Where is a good place to get started in the film business besides youtube?

[tjridley]

@JohnnyBlazeGR personally im going to film school

[JohnnyBlazeGR]

@tjridley I'm going to school for film, I'm just wondering for afterwards. lol, but thanks I appreciate your input.

[Riexn]

I am dying for the Sony NEX-VG10 review. >:

[musstakrakish]

This is so awesome I was wondering this very same thing!! :D

[WolfEyeProductions]

Hey, where is your Bubble Pipe?

[carsontom1914]

my issue, how do I get muzzle flare to work smoothly in final cut pro, I can get it in after effects, but for the life of me I cant get it in final cut. any one is welcome to answer this... please

[freekuvnatur]

YES!!!!!!!

[zorlock118]

what happened to holly wood fx

[Wubalubaloo]

bought myself that $30 shoulder rig right after watching this!

[musstakrakish]

@Wubalubaloo Is it good? I'm thinking about doing the same.

[TheHelifreak4]

what happened to backyard fx

[musstakrakish]

@TheHelifreak4 Don't they still have it? They just uploaded a video a few days ago. Unless the other guy really fucked things up again I think there going to have this and BFX.

[TheHelifreak4]

@musstakrakish i hope so

[EllipsisStudios]

Erik!!! Awesome!!!

[Pythonfan149]

Could those work for a video camera or do you have to get something completely different?

[Rentongb]

Good to have you back Eric.

[hittdude99]

Can you build me prop m16 machine gun with a masterkey shot gun

[cadester101]
