A Day in The Life Of a Case Video - Behind The Dam! Ep.3

2017-10-28
hello guys so today I'm tasked with creating an ad spot for COO master for their H 500 T enclosure so come along this should be fun I just finished building this machine so I have to clear out the space so that I can have the H 500 p.m. here instead because I still have to capture some b-roll for the case for the ad spot so the premise for the shoot is to have some creative freedom as we have with other coolermaster ads in the past outside the box thinking the H 500 P is not perfect but it's got some really unique features and that's exactly what we're highlighting in this ad today and by the way we have reviewed the case so make sure to check it out over here to get the full picture on what this thing is capable of the master of vast curve gaming monitor is now available measuring in 35 inches with 34 40 by 1440p resolution at 100 Hertz and free sink support with nice stand that can do portrait mode because why not so join the drop with a link in the description below to get your game on and so the idea for this shoot is a little bit challenging because I want this whole space behind me cleared because I'm gonna be sitting here with a nice tight lens so that things behind me a little bit out of focus but I want everything to be perfectly white so it looks like I'm in like very pristine studio with the case on the little pedestal behind me so that's the setup and this is my situation and I got cleared out so it's at times like these that I wish that I had more room because it feels so good to have all the space cleared out because I usually just have it as you what you just saw but you know obviously all these boxes are spilling it out outside of the office and just kind of occupying the rest of my house which is not very nice but at least I have this room to work with now in the office so I can set up my interview shot let's get that do that let's do that now all right so the only thing left to do now is bring back the box for the atria from your P case because I think I'm like wanted in a background on the ad plus the box is purple so perhaps I tried to create this color and brand recognition so that if you see this color scheme anywhere else it might make you think about color master maybe so it is six o'clock right now here in the evening which is not great in terms of productivity but I had to wait until the Sun was on the other side of the building so that way I get this nice soft light coming from the window because I'm trying to create that soft natural white pristine studio look inside this space and I didn't want any exterior light interfering with my lighting situation and white balance here because in the morning we get so much light in the studio that is difficult to achieve that pristine and controlled lighting situation unless of course it's like overcast and then it's fine but today it's a beautiful day but in terms of productivity and trying to shoot this thing yeah I'm a bit set back I think that should hold in case you're wondering I am shooting the interview portion with the g7 it's again Panasonic and I love that whole system it's such a fantastic be camera for like five hundred bucks on sale it's a really good deal and bmh has them on sale every december which is how i acquired this one it's such a good secondary camera in case my th5 with gh4 died or something like that and i'm shooting this right now only GH 5 along with the rest of the b-roll but for the interview let's do it with the g7 near the chair now one tip I can give you in terms of trying to focus if you're doing this by yourself is to always use some sort of object on where you'll be with the eye level so right now I've set up my shots so that my camera is right there and I pre focus on the microphone so that when I sit back down and adjust the microphone to be in a proper position away from the from the shot but a really good distance for my mouth I know that if I sit like this I'll be in focus I don't have to touch the camera anymore just as long as I memorize the sort of my posture for when I'm on camera and in terms of lighting I change that up a bit because instead of lighting up this whole place in pure white I decide to use my trusty LED lamp right here firing into the case cream that nice shadow on the wall and also highlighting that exterior texture that we don't otherwise see when this whole place is just pure white and so now I just got to get the interview portion done so I have my voiceover script ready but I'm gonna try to be talking to the camera even though not a lot of the footage will be shown on the final spot only the audio will be used but when you try to interact with the camera you're a little bit more natural and how you speak your intonation and all that so that you know it seems less scripted and more like I'm talking to you guys in the ad spot so hopefully it all turn out well all right so the interview portion is complete I did multiple takes of each sentence so that in case there's some intonation variations I can piece together the best voiceover so it sounds more natural alright so there are two things that I enjoy throughout this entire process one is obviously the production side of things of clearing out the space and making sure that I can produce something quality in such a confined space that's always been a challenge for me at harbor canucks because I've used to shoot videos out of my living room and needed to let's say flip over on my couch so that I can get the shots and you know it's it's a good exercise and working with what you get and number two is the whole idea creation on how do we advertise this product without misleading the audience if you guys see in my review there is some criticism that I am open about and the community has been bashing coolermaster for you know releasing something that they're not agreeing with or they do not expect so what we're trying to do instead with this ad is bring up those positives that are truly unique to this case and therefore not really you know barring any of the negatives in there anywhere it's more like talking about why this case is unique instead of bashing it off why it isn't something that people were expecting it to be so what I got to do now is mount the GPU vertically so you can actually see how that looks inside the case and not just me mentioning that as a feature and so now that this part is shot I gotta bring all those boxes back with their damn corner so that I can have room in the apartment now you guys are probably aware that I am running a risin system and I've decided to give this whole AMD thing is shot with both the CPU and the GPU coming from the red side with the arts Freddy the most powerful card that I have from the AMD side of things and Wow really sucks for rendering in Adobe Premiere which is why I'm just gonna pop in my gtx 1070 back in there so that i can get the benefit of better gaming and also much faster performance in rendering and my third favorite parts of this whole process is the editing when it all comes together the footage is great and despite having that little hiccup with the lighting it's good to evolve it and change it up based on what feels right so all the footage is on the computer so it's time to edit all right so the Edit for this odd spot is finished but one thing I normally don't talk about in reviews is the actual disassembly process of like taking out the hardware and like is it simple is it difficult on all master case cases it's very easy and this one is no exception all right the last piece of the puzzle time to pack it away I'm gonna love me a nice case bag here I have it totally fit in this bag and the reason it's so handy is because you just take it over it done and so that concludes this episode on behind them where you get to I see my thinking and my production process so here's the finished spot enjoy so it was kind of a love at first sight you know there's really nothing like this exterior I love the metallic color the tinted glass panel the RGB fans at the front it's basically a see-through case and who doesn't love that your graphics card can go vertical the top is radiator friendly and the right side is so unique when exposed thanks to these cable covers so you can show off everything you've got with the aged 500p my Coolermaster check it
