Great control in a small space. I have such a hard time with spill, by the time I control it there's no space around me for a mic boom...

ND filters my friend. Don’t compromise your dynamic range by messing with ISO when NDs exist.

Your video is informative, but switching off the backlight from the beginning and experimenting with other RIM light options, including front or overhead lights with a grid, could have been interesting. Your video was marred by the backlight. It didn't add any value other than distraction.

I think the final result looks really good and the backlight isn't distracting like the opening shot.

ehm, soft shadows depending on the size of the light source. The size is always relative. The size is always the size of the last diffusion relative to the space. The sun is "big" but without clouds it is a hard light, with clouds, the clouds are more or less the light source and closer and bigger and so softer ... .

I have been shopping to upgrade my video podcast home studio all day. Everyone has so many ideas and everyone is so certain their way is the best. You are the first to say "you can do whatever you want." I didn't know how much I needed to hear that. You also give a great description with illustration of all the things I don't have the equipment to try (yet). I really appreciate you. Thank you.

@@motionbymike I was just watching your December video going over your studio/office lighting. I recognize a ton of the same overthinking I struggle with. I'm ordering a small pile of lights and cameras now. I really like how you set up the 3 cameras for your podcast, too. It's really a little surreal how much work we can put into things, recognize each and every flaw and every opportunity for improvement and someone will come along and say "great video, man!" It's also funny how many tutorials are out there featuring finished studios I wouldn't want anything to do with. Anyway, good luck. Thanks for posting. Keep it up.

@Supercon57 Жыл бұрын

Diffusion really makes a difference by making a light source larger in relation to the subject, allowing it to wrap around the subject I use a similar sheet but I clip it up in a more landscape orientation to maximize on it's ability to wrap around my subject, then place the light at an optimal position to fill out the sheet of diffusion for an even spread of light All in all you lose a lot of potential light output but you trade it off for a larger/softer light source

Thanks for doing the side-by-side comparison. It really helps to pinpoint where the differences are in techniques. It did seem that there was a lot of bleed into the background with the book light setup that made it a little less dramatic overall IMO, but I suppose that could be blocked with a negative panel if it wasn't desired.

Oh absolutely, it’s definitely not for every scenario. I was more so looking at the effects it had on the skin and face rather than the spill. In a real works scenario I would have flagged a lot
