Audio is one of the most important things in video

November 6, 2024

When the audio is bad I often stop the video In all honesty I can watch a video that is not perfect for the image quality, but if the audio is bad I'm out. For years I've been using a Sennheiser wireless lovelier microphone. I always bring this to shows and use it during almost all videos and live streams, and it just sounds awesome and it never failed me. But it's expensive, and for most starting creators it will be overkill, plus in all honesty you always have to put the wireless transmitter somewhere, and it's not a super small device, plus over time I've had several cables replaced.

We recently filmed a brand new class for KelbyOne with our model Claudia. The video is all about using one strobe and how you can still create totally different looks by changing light-shapers and angles. Today I wanted to show one of the sets in which I show one of my favourite setups.

Building a set can be tricky But a small set can really set the mood in a shot. You can of course just build a set, but sometimes you simple don't have the room to build a complete set, or you want to offer your client different options. This is where our scenic backdrops from ClickBackDrops really shine.

When it's Halloween it's time for some cool images of course. We already showed you the video this morning but now it's time to see those gory photos in full glory. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did creating them, and trust me this was one of those workshops where the group totally went for it, I can't wait for you guys to see the images popping up on their timelines 😀

I LOVE Halloween, not only as a horror fan but also as a photographer. There is so much fun you can have with the theme and I can already tell you that for tomorrow we have something really special planned on both the blog and our YouTube channel, and trust me you don't want to miss this.

For portraits the Clicki works like a charm, but sometimes you need a little bit more space. So we also now have the Clicki available in a full 2x2 meters, which also makes it a great option to build a small set for newborns or pets where you use the Clicki both as a background as floor, as you can see in the following samples.

Proper calibration of your monitor is essential, today BenQ made it possible to use their flag ship software for calibration also on their PD series monitors.

Removing ghost Google Wifi devices from Google home

October 8, 2024

Google home is a great system if you want an easy way to automate your home and connect everything together. Also the Google home app is easy to use and supports a lot of automations and devices are almost added automatically. So when it all works so easy you might expect that if you have to replace a defective Wifi unit it's super easy to remove that device.....you probably already guessed it, it's not. I tried almost everything (except of course delete the home and rebuild everything) but whatever I tried there was no way to remove the old device. At one point I just gave up and accepted that the ghost of my defective Wifi device would haunt me forever.
