This was really an excellent production: I enjoyed viewing, listening and learning from its many different elements: the visual philosophy behind lights and directing production, the enactment of the 5 aspects of lighting, the team work involved, the transition graphs, the narration and the music.
Thanks for a great visual production of Lessons to be learned: stop whining, get a set of decent lights and take as much control as one can over one's productions.
Again thanks for a fantastic production and valuable learning!
PS (I can't believe I soaked good Euros into a course here in Rome that should have taught all this but didn't! You answered all the questions - using the medium - that I think the professor either took for granted or didn't know how to articulate, let alone answer.)
I just have to say this is one of the best segments I had watch since I had started watching the videos on your site, great work. Keep up the good work, always learning new things from you guys, AWESOME!
Your shows are always very inspirational and this one is no exception.
This really opens my eyes to possibility, of using good lighting.
That was really a great show.
As soon as I saw Perry walk up with the floor jack, I knew that the end of the segment was going to reveal a "solution" to the "problem" that was introduced at the outset. Fantastic job as usual. Thanks for continually sharing your insight, both in words and in pictures.
Great subject. Well done. i especially like Perry's arm acting as a fan blade in front of the light at the end.
My favorite so far. I'm intrigued by the taped lav to chest. Is this something you guys do all the time? I couldn't detect it in the camping/screening episode so I presume you used a boom on that one. Anyway, I'd like to see more about location sound techniques.
Thank you, thank you...this is the segment I have been asking for. Chuck, once again, with exquisite production and exceptional delivery, you drove home the importance of lighting to quality of a project and the emotion it can create. You are a true professional and a great educator.
Hey Perry...nice to see you again, but would really like to see back in the saddle with your own segments...you rock!
Oh, hi, Perry! Nice episode with some great thought provoktivity (if I may say so). Thanks for getting the creative side of the brain working with the technical.
Incredible Chuck, you make it possible for those of us who do not have the time away from our present occupation, as we break into the video production world, to move forward. Many thanks to you and to Digital Juice for all you do. You've helped me grow in leaps and bounds. It was also nice seeing Matt at the Mac on this one.
Chuck + Perry, this episode has so many goodies, intelligent scripting & thoughtful storyboard, oh! I have to jump out my first post here (being lazy in shadow and sucking DJ blood for so long) just to tell you how much I appreciate this work. Please please please don't stop FOV and Production Notes.. I love these series so much, in fact I love all AudioBuzz, Take5 & TechNote but being an event videographer, I thought I know my camera work well, Chuck & Perry has just crash my confident so much that I couldn't stop crushing you for more.
Well done everyone at DJ. And Thank you very much:D.
I've watched it twice and it still deserves 5 stars. I think DJTV is one of the best learning tools out there today. It's nice to see the set-up in progress and then the end results. It's also good to see Perry. I look forward to this in my email. I'm new at this and every bit of information I can take in will only help me become more successful in my endeavors. thanks guys.
All I can say is thank you, the entire team deserves a HUG.... This is really inspirational. I took the liberty of placing an order as a away of saying “Thank you” but I really wish I could send you some donuts and some strong Salvadoran coffee.
Chuck, your style reminds of my Nooma DVD’s (www.nooma.com) is like every time I finish watching…I have to take a few moments to reflect, I appreciate your work, by the way say hello to Perry.

This segment is fantastic! What a great way to show a well built scene. The warehouse went from blah to beautiful and we go to see exactly HOW you did it. Awesome! And great to see Perry again, and to appreciate his creative eye. Thanks, guys, you're an amazingly creative team with excellent delivery.
This segment was freakin awesome. As the saying goes, "[sometimes] Talk is Cheap." So to see the behind the scenes stuff was very helpful. The more mystery you take away from the cool shots you do, the more it helps us novice videographers. Thanks tremendously. Please keep them coming.
Your topic is lighting, but no one has made mention of your audio. During the FOV series, I've found myself wondering how you are recording your audio, and this episode finally reveals it. I realize there may be a shotgun off camera as well, but you are getting very good quality from your wireless lav. Would you please share some info about your mic (brand/model) and how you avoid picking up the sounds from your shirt? Great show, guys.
As someone new to video production, let me say how much I appreciate the ideas and tips you guys give me with each of your shows. THIS one is perhaps the best one I've seen. Who knew you could transform a "set" so dramatically?!?! Thanks Chuck!
Awesome Chuch & Perry! A lot of great information on lighting basics, as well as encouragement to think outside the lense to get to the heart of the art.
Thanks a ton!!
Once again, you make me feel good that I chose to spend my life in this profession.
Thanks so much, Chuck and crew! wow
5 stars
Wow. Field of View hits it’s stride! When you produce these onto DVD, I would pay money to see a behinds the scenes section with every napkin sketch and crude story board that Perry, Chuck and team have used to create these. Even on some of the earlier episodes that felt “too fluffy” to me, I found myself rewinding to watch a shot, move, or setup more closely (over and over). It’s like jumping into a pool from the Magician’s Nephew.
Thanks,
D!
Excellent. I think it would be GREAT to take this episode and go more in depth with it. Take the top 10 shooting scenarios/locations and show how you can make them better. The warehouse was a good start. Many shooters often find them selves shooting in small, ugly office spaces more than anything. Do a survey of the 10 most widely used locations that shooters wish they could make look better and get to work. Please.
Excellent segement. Great to actually see Perry, not just his work, which as always is spectacular. I see he did all the work, geez couldnt you have lent him a hand moving the heavy stuff, just like on-camera talent. LOL(just kidding) but Chuck, chill on the hands man really distracting and used so much it becomes campy.
Excellent! I am new at this and I really appreicaite the encouragement enthusiasm. You are right when say perception makes a difference before the shoot. Great work guys. Bernie
Really Excellent, what do you think would be the best set of lights to nvest in? (maximum budget £1000)
I find all of the FOV episodes to have wonderful tidbots of information. I always feel like... oh that's what I was doing all along, probably not as well though. Always great information that makes me think. Well done. I agree with some others they get better with each episode. Also liked how this had some how tos as well as thought provoking ideas.
Keep up the great work all.
Great segment Chuck, and as always concisely explained and
most amply demonstrated. It was also a pleasure to see you
and Perry actively at work in setups. Looking forward to the
next installment!
Walking the talk is the best way to show what you mean. This episode reminds me of the first season where you are spot on with your purpose and with your examples. Good distinction between concerns on the camera and on the shot. Nice use, too, of black and white to discuss lighting basics. Made the use of color at the end even more impactful. Nice job.
One of my favorites so far. As always, it speaks visually, but this one is very applicable with practical and techincal info. Thank you!
While this one is yet another one of those "
-DUH! We all really knew that in the first place but had forgotten"
type things we all know, it was a nice reminder, had a good feel and was easily one of the best yet! It didnt feel like a waist of time. Nice job.
- Chuck, you read my mind. I was hoping for a little bit of behind-the-scenes shooting and tips, and here it is.
- Good to see Perry once again....
- Great overview of lighting.
- The fog made a huge difference in the overall look of the warehouse shot.... (Good thing I already have a fog machine from being a musician who does stageshows. That's one less thing to buy when shooting a scene like this warehouse shot.)
- Perry has a great eye... he can transform any set into anything he wants. The combination of his creative eye behind the camera, and your skills in front of the camera, and your knowledge of shots, make for a totally high-end production every time.
5 stars again.... as always.... great job.
Thank you so much for doing this. I feel very inspired by watching this... and other DJTV shows. I tend to shy away from the filming part of my business, because I feel I just can't make it look good enough. This show "sheds light" in my mind of thinking that it can change. It made me want to go film again!
Thank you for your time.
