Wow.. This is the very first informative comment I ever got. thank you so much for that. I will see if I can increase the lightning.. Cos the light's I bought were super cheap stuff of Amazon. This one. Also I'm not expert on Camera or Lighting (film making) etc.. I just learned all that in past few months when he wanted to do these videos. So learning about stuff while working at real job. About his bullet points... he does not have any script, As English is my second language + I want to keep it original as he like's it, I don't correct him. He just prepares himself before i start recording. Its all Natural. no script :) . Intro with PS CS6 and Editing of videos with Premier pro. (Learned for him, seeing tutorials on YouTube and Sub reddits here). About the camera: I wanted something small which I can carry in my pocket if necessary + I wanted DSLR Quality.. (never a big fan of Large cameras) So I went with Canon EOS-M2 and most of the time (Almost all the time) I use EF-M 22mm f/2 STM Lens No filters, MIC is This one And Still don't know about the Temperature of the lights... (Now i have learn about that :) let me know if you any more questions about camera or anything else. Once again... Thank you so so much for the feed back. It really helps. have a great day. EDIT: Recently I Started using CineStyle Format and their LUT to color Grade.

/u/Pencildragon,

1. I would avoid this option. As you say, it's a wild card.
   
   
2. I've heard good things about the [$46.70 Takstar SGC-698] (http://www.amazon.com/TAKSTAR-Photography-Interview-Microphone-Camcorder/dp/B00WJMWVWM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20). The SGC-598 not so much. If you want to put these mics on a boom, you will need either a [$3.95 OnStage MA100 5/8" female to 3/8" male adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/Stage-MA100-8-Inch-Female-Adapter/dp/B0007Y60HG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) or a [$3.95 OnStage MA125 5/8" female to 1/4" male adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/On-Stage-MA-125-4-Inch-8-Inch-Adapter/dp/B0075DMYC2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) (depending on the diameter of the socket on the bottom of the hot shoe adapter) to connect it to your boom.
   
   
3. Sadly, a straight XLR to 3.5mm adapter will not work. You need a [$20.95 Hosa MIT156 impedance matching transformer/adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-MIT-156-Impedance-Transformer-XLR3F/dp/B00FC4YR58/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) between your low z pro condenser mic and the high z consumer input to your camera.
   
   Hope this is helpful and best of luck!
