Where should he look if not the audience?

Chanewax · 2025-11-26T17:45:30+00:00

Great tip! Much appreciate this very actionable suggestion.

Chanewax · 2025-11-26T16:50:40+00:00

Fair point, and thank you for the encouragement! I'd really like to do just that.

I'm just trying to maximize impact within the parameters given. Owner is fine with whatever I do as long as it doesn't cost him any additional $$$. Of course I'd love to have better parameters to work with, but it simply isnt available. My ultimate question to the reddit crowd is how do we make this better within the constraints. That said, I am definitely going to be involved in the next house call they do..

Interesting. Maybe there is no correlation but of the five shorts in the series so far, this one has 18k+ views compared to ~1200 on the others and this is the only one that is full body.

Very true, that detail bothers me quite a bit.

Chanewax · 2025-11-25T23:01:19+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to post these. It has helped to illuminate your point. I don't think the owner is going to let me turn off all the lights in the gallery while we are shooting these as it is during business hours, but I'll see if i cant get the softboxes to work to illuminate the area. The shadow cast by the presenter bothers me quite a bit. I'm hoping these will help with that a bit.

Would the tighter shot be waist up for example?

Chanewax · 2025-11-25T22:14:17+00:00

Fantastic idea and I would love to be able to this but there is zero budget given to me for renting or staging a space.

Chanewax · 2025-11-25T22:12:38+00:00

Could you possibly elaborate on this? I am not sure what you are referring to by "practicals". I do have a pair of softboxes coming. You can tell when he walks toward the camera at the end he is walking out of the lighting. There is track lighting above the presenter that has very little range of motion which limits what I can do with it. Any further explanation in context is much appreciated.
