Thanks Tyson. This was my first paid gig. I'm not a videographer by prefession, but one of our customers asked me to do this. The lights I used are these. I think they're really great lights. And yes, the Letus makes a big difference for this kind of setting since you can thrown the background out of focus.

Great light. Clear audio.

I think the logo gets a little lost sometimes when on black but I don't know how you could avoid that.

At 1:53... I would drop the audio during the laugh. Made me jump. The guys voice gets very soft too.

Well controlled pans. I can never get my pans to ease to a stop like that.

I really enjoyed the tour.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the comments.

The logo is more a watermark than something that needs to be visible at all times. You're correct about the audio being too loud at that point. I should have tunred it down a bit.

I guess the tripod makes a big difference for pans and tilts. Besides, what you see here is the best of probably 3-4 takes :).
