Behind the Scenes | Our Equipment

00:00:00 welcome to this video if you look at the
00:00:03 screen right now you can see that
00:00:04 something is different I'm not sitting
00:00:06 in front of the green screen
00:00:07 I'm just sitting here in the middle of
00:00:08 the room actually and the reason for
00:00:10 that is that in this video I would like
00:00:13 to show you our equipment because so
00:00:15 much you guys wrote us that you want to
00:00:17 know more about that so we want to show
00:00:18 you which camera we use which microphone
00:00:20 and some more stuff and before we start
00:00:23 you can also find some links to their
00:00:25 equipment down there in the video
00:00:26 description but if you click onto that
00:00:28 these are not affiliate links so we
00:00:30 don't earn any money if you click onto
00:00:32 these we just want to make sure that if
00:00:33 you want to buy some of our equipment
00:00:35 but you can do that and with that let's
00:00:37 start right now
00:00:41 so let's start a little Home Shopping
00:00:43 Channel right here with the first thing
00:00:45 because in our videos you can see our
00:00:48 places well in the sea the places we
00:00:50 need a camera and for this purpose we
00:00:52 use this one
00:00:53 that's the Sony camcorder it's called
00:00:55 HDR DX 6 to 5 as I said you can find a
00:01:00 link to that little camera in the
00:01:02 description
00:01:03 the important thing is actually this we
00:01:04 don't use any fancy settings on that we
00:01:07 simply use 1080p and record in 50 frames
00:01:10 per second we render the video stand
00:01:12 later in 720p and 25 frames per second
00:01:16 audio we are experimenting with that and
00:01:17 we might also produce computers in 1080p
00:01:20 in the future but as I said we try to
00:01:22 find the right compromise between the
00:01:24 qualities and how good we can handle the
00:01:26 data and actually the file size the
00:01:28 camera is about to think about $500 for
00:01:32 example so not really cheap but
00:01:34 considering what it can do I think it's
00:01:36 good value for the money actually well
00:01:38 that's the camera but as you can imagine
00:01:40 VMs sitting like this and film ourselves
00:01:43 because in either end and for this
00:01:45 purpose you need two things the first
00:01:47 thing is we need a tripod and of course
00:01:50 Android prepared so I got this chair and
00:01:52 on this chair we can see this tripod
00:01:55 right now that's a common Alpha mm
00:01:59 another thing it's a release basic fiber
00:02:01 actually but totally sufficient for our
00:02:03 purposes and well you know the
00:02:06 subscribers but we have to mount the
00:02:08 camera on Chris and for the purpose you
00:02:10 have this mount rings like this comes
00:02:12 with the try so actually and the only
00:02:15 thing is to do is you have to well kind
00:02:17 of put that thing on to the camera like
00:02:22 that welcome then you can simply plug it
00:02:25 right here with like this yes and then
00:02:30 you need to serve on with the camera and
00:02:32 make sure that well the place is
00:02:33 correctly in the camera and with that
00:02:36 they actually has our of tapes now at
00:02:37 least at one step to it and actually the
00:02:41 audio because this camcorder has an
00:02:44 integrated microphone to be honest
00:02:46 quality is not the best one and if you
00:02:48 can hopefully here in the videos we have
00:02:50 a relatively good audio quality painting
00:02:52 in oil and
00:02:53 the reason for that is that you're not
00:02:55 using this audio but they're using an
00:02:58 external microphone and which one do we
00:03:00 use well we use this one
00:03:03 that's a roadie role processor again
00:03:05 check the description for the exact
00:03:07 details about that this is great things
00:03:10 as you can please come to this beautiful
00:03:11 back by the way really awesome and the
00:03:14 amazing thing is that well it's simply
00:03:16 work because in the beginning of the
00:03:19 channel and actually until two months
00:03:20 ago
00:03:20 Max and I we experiment sit around with
00:03:23 microphones and we found in the end that
00:03:25 this is actually the best microphone
00:03:28 that you can get for your money it's
00:03:29 about $200
00:03:31 so not really achieve but ever set is
00:03:33 really worth it because I think for you
00:03:35 guys it's really important that you
00:03:37 understand what we're saying
00:03:38 so a good microphone is important now

00:03:41 this microphone is nice but as you can
00:03:43 see right here we don't have anything to
00:03:45 adjust in it and that's an important
00:03:48 thing because to use the slide perform
00:03:50 you needs and other things you need a
00:03:51 mixer we also got something at that of
00:03:53 course and let me fetch that right here
00:03:55 that the mixer that we used
00:03:58 hope you can see it is a simple bearing
00:04:02 our low the expect I'm Phoenix 302 USB
00:04:07 mixer as you can see we are not really
00:04:08 into details about this technique to be
00:04:10 honest because the important thing for
00:04:12 us is that is basically work and that's
00:04:14 what it should do so we also didn't play
00:04:16 around lots of settings you can play
00:04:18 around with the game and the phones
00:04:20 maybe but that's the main thing with
00:04:21 this and if you use it on your own body
00:04:24 has to find the right settings for your
00:04:26 room or depending on the size of the
00:04:28 room you have to play around with that
00:04:29 but the only thing if you do is actually
00:04:31 you meet that mixer which you can plug
00:04:33 into your computer them and reset you're
00:04:35 almost done regarding these audio
00:04:37 problems de list that again I'm holding
00:04:40 a microphone and well that's not kind of
00:04:42 a set of views so we need another things
00:04:44 let me test it quickly back in business
00:04:47 but this time with my son again this is
00:04:50 a really basic mics and actually because
00:04:52 the only thing I have to do it well it
00:04:53 has to kind of hold the mic and to do
00:04:56 this you've got the mic and you've got
00:04:58 this little thing right here and then
00:04:59 you can simply adjust this like that
00:05:02 oops maybe put it down a little bit
00:05:04 hitting this this maybe whoops like that
00:05:09 and if you then slap your mixer so this
00:05:12 cable you get right here into the
00:05:15 microphone like that and then as a set
00:05:17 connect some mixer to the computer well
00:05:19 then you're ready to go there is one
00:05:21 important thing missing and that's the
00:05:23 green screen because as you see in the
00:05:25 videos we have our faces in our audio
00:05:28 but the main thing you see is with us
00:05:30 it's the screen we do on a computer and
00:05:32 for the purpose we need a green screen
00:05:34 behind us your ever white bowl but
00:05:37 normally I got the screen screen and I
00:05:39 will not build up the green screen right
00:05:40 now because to be honest it's quite big
00:05:42 and it takes a minute so this is the
00:05:45 greens can be used actually so check it
00:05:47 over here and as you can see it comes
00:05:49 with a lot of stuff yes the green screen
00:05:50 and all the stands that you need to
00:05:53 build up in your room and you also got
00:05:56 the labs which are really important
00:05:58 because you need to make sure that the
00:06:00 illumination of the green screen
00:06:01 is as well equal as possible in each
00:06:04 part of the green screen because
00:06:06 otherwise it becomes really hard to get
00:06:08 rid of the green screen later on in the
00:06:10 video editing so to talk about the
00:06:12 glands let me just show you how this can
00:06:14 look like and how they work so the mic
00:06:16 is gone but now we got this little thing
00:06:18 right here that's all included in that
00:06:21 green screen package data to show you
00:06:23 and we have set stand of course for the
00:06:25 land and we have that well thing to
00:06:27 mount the lamp in and students now to
00:06:30 choice whiskers so all we got things and
00:06:33 now we got these lamps so these are
00:06:35 really big lamp actually and you can pin
00:06:38 all the way to this thing like that you
00:06:42 can see that well not really good let me
00:06:44 maybe make this smaller I don't know
00:06:52 it's not really I hope you can see it so
00:06:54 here we go the lab it down a little bit
00:06:59 like that right so you think these plus
00:07:02 the lamb but that's what all they need
00:07:04 you also need something else and this
00:07:07 something else is this thing an umbrella
00:07:10 and no worries different to raining in
00:07:12 here but you need that because
00:07:14 just if you look at it it's the lack and
00:07:15 rely on the outside but inside it has a
00:07:18 reflecting thing right here and that
00:07:21 allows you to kind of reflect the life
00:07:23 and by that get the best illumination of
00:07:26 the crude elimination of the green
00:07:27 screen as I said before to make sure the
00:07:29 illumination of the green screen is kind
00:07:30 of equal in each spot of the green
00:07:32 screen now he has two different

00:07:34 umbrellas that come with the package the
00:07:36 black one and it's the white one like
00:07:40 that now what's the difference well as I
00:07:42 said the black one is black on the
00:07:44 outside and hazard with selecting things
00:07:47 on the inside this one is white inside
00:07:50 and outside so difference is that if you
00:07:52 use the right one just looking like this
00:07:54 we're not crashing a lot like here let
00:07:57 me so you could know it like that and
00:08:01 work hard to see is not a lot of space
00:08:04 in here like that so you would turn it
00:08:06 into your direction right so this is not
00:08:09 that close of course but basically
00:08:10 that's the idea behind it so you guys
00:08:12 are doing screen behind you then you've
00:08:13 got the length one or left one to the
00:08:15 right and well then you turn the light
00:08:17 on which is something I'm doing a few
00:08:19 seconds but before we do that I just
00:08:21 unmount that umbrella like that because
00:08:26 we don't use this white one because you
00:08:28 also play around with it and we found
00:08:30 out that from a lighting perspective at
00:08:32 least in our case this is like much
00:08:34 better and as I said if you set one then
00:08:38 you simply have to put it right here you
00:08:41 cannot see me right now so you use like
00:08:48 that and maybe an important thing that's
00:08:50 not the spot that normally record my
00:08:51 videos so don't worry we had a little
00:08:53 bit more space when we record the video
00:08:54 but that's at work as you can see I'm
00:08:57 now turning it around because it has to
00:08:58 reflect elimination well and as I want
00:09:01 to make sure to get some insights if
00:09:03 you'd enter an orbital life then it
00:09:05 looks like this and this is really well
00:09:08 white actually and now you can imagine
00:09:10 how this basicly works you have one to
00:09:12 the right one to left the green screen
00:09:14 behind you then the camera and the
00:09:16 microphone and that actually is let me
00:09:18 just switch that off because it's
00:09:20 beautiful but it's kind of not the
00:09:23 atmosphere people like to have all day
00:09:26 with that we are actually done with our
00:09:27 equipment to basically the hardware that
00:09:29 we need but there is one more thing that
00:09:31 need actually radio and this one more
00:09:33 thing is of course the software that we
00:09:35 use to record our screens because again
00:09:38 it's nice to hear oh it might be nice to
00:09:40 see us I don't know but the most
00:09:43 important thing is that you see what
00:09:44 we're doing on the screen and for the
00:09:46 Purple's we use both two different
00:09:48 software's on the Mac's we use
00:09:50 ScreenFlow ScreenFlow is not for free
00:09:52 you have to pay for it I think an annual
00:09:55 subscription is about 130 US dollars and
00:09:57 on the windows computer we use OBS it's
00:10:01 open broadcast software open broadcast
00:10:03 software and this also works quite nice
00:10:06 to be honest next and I we prefer
00:10:08 ScreenFlow and be more record on the Mac
00:10:10 but the Nell videos we know to protect
00:10:12 obvious all the work perfectly and that
00:10:15 it actually that's what we used for our
00:10:18 recordings and if you have any question
00:10:20 or something like that just hold them in
00:10:22 the comments and also we certainly like
00:10:24 this kind of performance if you want to
00:10:26 have more insights into the channel how
00:10:28 it work what we do and how we do it so
00:10:30 yes I hope you kind of enjoyed this
00:10:32 different video and sorry if it's not as
00:10:34 well structured as the lore videos
00:10:36 because it's kind of well a different
00:10:38 style of video but nevertheless I hope
00:10:40 you enjoyed it and well as always I can
00:10:43 only say thanks a lot for watching and
00:10:44 hope to see you in the next videos bye
