Where is that cable management pouch from?

Great topic! But I’m confused about your reasons for rejecting the FX3. You criticized it for reasons of form factor - that it was hard to carry for long handheld shoots - but there are inexpensive shoulder braces that would easily resolve that issue. Given the low weight, such a shoulder brace + FX3 would be considerably more comfortable than any of the other cameras you tested. I feel like this is a review for people who’ve never used a shoulder brace. Then you said you’d miss the internal ND. Is it that difficult to screw on a variable ND filter? It takes about 10 seconds. That issue seems trivial to me.

Love this video because it's made by a film maker who has a gig and is going to make something. Did a job with a DP who shot Sigma primes. They were excellent. As delicious as Cooke. One of the reasons the "Cooke Look" is so beloved is the guys shooting Cooke have world class skills. DZO makes a lot of sense. Like the advice to rent both first. I'm shooting Canon EF and RF on a C70. My conclusion is if the story is great you can shoot it on an iPhone. If the story sucks it doesn't matter what kind of lens you are shooting. If it ain't on the page it ain't on the stage.

Thank you for the tips, it's certainly hard to try many options when you don't have so much gear. However, I missed any mention of audio. Your favorite was the spotlight, and I was wondering if you used the 300d with the active cooling (fan) and if that would've increased the noise floor in an unpleasant way, especially on such a small space where the fan noise can bounce quickly around the walls as they're so close. I have a cheap Godox light and the fan is noticeable.

Nice video, thanks for sharing

Hey,iam a huge die hard fan of Nolan sir... I recently created a shortfilm.. Just one mintue..with ReverseStorytelling concept... None of my friends don't understand... I know only a few peoples can understand that...🥹🎬✨kzbin.info/www/bejne/panWnGxumpuYpLM

not diffusion, but scrim aka black net. cheapest available everywhere option is black window screen. works great for sources that don't make heat. single layer should work, probably won't need to double it up but you can. next option is fabric store where you can find material like black bobinette - black mesh ( stretchy hex lace w/o the fire retardant of the film vers ) or various black curtain materials. again, simple, cheap, easy and can be folded up to fit into the light case easily. I always travel with a few pieces for the reason you make : LED's that don't dim enough.

For a specifically the FX 22 I probably would have just turned it around and let it bounce off the wall to help take some of the heat out of it and make it even softer source

that was an amazing video man! it is always amazing to see other peoples approach. One thing that would be cool is different lighting techniques fro the same scene, 1 point, 2 point, 3 point, stronger edgelight, stronger keylight... because for that scene i would have boomed a small light behind his head, a mc or the inkee with 5600k an the left side to motivate light from the window and a warmer light around 3200 -4000k from the right side to be motivated by the light on the table and also a bit further back and then for a better wrap a popup reflector or another light idk :D But i hope you get what i mean i think when a few filmmakers get together often they all would light a scene differently and that would be super interesting to see :)

Maybe the lightbank inflatable lights will work in this situation.

I couldn't help noticing a massive flat screen TV in the frame. Have you ever tried to use such a device to create a highly customizable source of diffuse light ? It is a massive LED array, a diffuser and a customizable filter stacked together, and they are more or less available everywhere you go. Just need a laptop with a set a pictures to suit your needs.

Good video - as a seasoned photographer transitioning into cinema/video, I appreciate watching what some may consider a "fundamental" video to see where photography and cinema diverge. In this instance, it seems that they're essentially overlapping. However, if I may, there's one small bit of clarification that may help new shooters (cinema or photography)... At the 4:09 mark, you say "less depth of field, or bokeh", suggesting that these two things are synonymous. This is incorrect. Depth of field refers to the areas in front and behind the focal plane that are acceptably sharp (or unsharp, depending on how you're talking about DoF). Bokeh specifically refers to appearance of the out-of-focus areas. DoF is objective and can be calculated. Bokeh on the other hand is quite subjective (though many agree on what pleasing bokeh looks like). DoF is a function of magnification (focal length vs subject size), aperture, and focus distance. Bokeh is dependent on many factors, though most heavily influenced by the actual construction of the lens itself. My old AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 shot at 135mm/f2.8 will have identical DoF as my Z135mm f/1.8 lens when shot at f/2.8. However, the bokeh will look incredibly different :)

You should try out some of the 50cm Godox Liteflow mirrors. I have been playing around with them in small spaces and they can look really great.

Oh did you finally buy the Burano?🌯

What happened to the zhiyun lights that you reviewed some time ago. Molus x100 and g60... they put out couple more since then - x60 and x60 rgb. You praised them exactly for the output, size and portability. Why did you exclude them from consideration? Is there a problem with reliability for shoots like this one? Or is it the fact that they are COB lights, and not good for this because of the type?

107k sub luc! Congrats on that!!

The Alexa is easy to see. The client was right.

Recent discovery on my amaran f22 that should apply on your f21. You can lower to 1% from control box. From the app can go even lower like 0.9 / 0.8 / ... 0.1 % Curious, why wouldn't gaff tape it to the wall?

I love the spotlight attachment use them all the time. tbh, I actually thought the 2x2 panel looked the most flattering but thats just my take. For doc shoots I usually pack various size flex fills from 4'x5' on down clipped to manfrotto nano stands along with small bedsheets paper taped to the walls Deakins style. The MC pro rig was cool, def gonna add a sheet pan to my kit.

Thank you Luc for demonstrating a realistic lighting scenario. This is super helpful.

Hey man, digging the content! I feel like I´m learning a lot through your videos and they are also entertaining and fun:) Keep it up man

I'm 17 years old, I recently got into filmmaking and just finished my first one. Ive had more experience in acting but thats besides the point. I am really struggling financially, and am wondering where im supposed to get the money from for the camera, the lenses, hiring people, the list goes on. For my first project I borrowed my equipment from someone close to me, but I am wondering how I'm supposed to do this for future projectsl. Since I'm already starting my next one and don't want to keep on borrowing equipment.

I actually preferred the amaran panel with 7 layers of diffusion, looked nice to me

Great vid, I think this is an ideal scenario for a CRLS get up.

Would have been curious to see if a grid on the f22 would have helped. I know that's more about control but usually cuts light down a bit too

Learning how to get good audio has been one of the biggest improvements i have made. Plus it isn't hard it just takes effort and some decent equipment.
