Hope you enjoyed it! If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :) If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here: https://www.evanedinger.com/blog/my-gear Otherwise: here's a quick list of some of my kit without descriptions from the above link: Camera: Sony A7siii https://geni.us/Evana7siii Main Lens: Sony 24mm f/1.4 G-Master https://geni.us/Evan24 Secondary Lens: Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G-Master https://geni.us/Evan1635 Main Light: Aputure 120d mkii https://geni.us/Evan120d Shotgun Microphone: Sennheiser MKH-416 https://geni.us/Evan416 Really useful SSD: SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB https://geni.us/EvanPortSSD The background music I use is all from Epidemic Sound!
