I absolutely LOVE the result in terms of light quality on her face. But how in the hell am I going to reproduce three panels like that on a hobbyist level? One could argue that it's not a video for hobbyists, and that's fair enough. Still, I am somewhat rankled!

@@al201103 An Amaran F22 with the lantern attachment or create a DIY attachment like his would create a similar look. I think his contraption is still bigger.

No. The umbrella will have a much sharper specularity, because there will be much much less scatter withing then material.

Look for the places that supply foam to RC Model Plane hobbyists.

Or just type depronfoam all one word, and you know what COMes after that.

well it depends on what kind of coverage you're going for, if the shot is too wide for the Light to be present up close (ig it would show up in the frame) you might not be able to do so, you'd have to back up the light too far which would make it harsh and would not result in the same characteristics as the close up. In that case you'd probably resort to adding a big Diffusion Frame (at least 12 x 12) and pump up the Output to better match the softness of the Close up

Who doesn't like a nice candle-like warmth, right?

He probably didn’t like it because it matched her backlight, he made it slightly cooler to create color contrast

I agree, I think splitting the difference would have been ideal but hey, he's just trying to show off the contraption.

Probably this video took time to be edited and delivered 😅

I think he means using keyframes to have the grade cha'ge during the shot, for exemple if someone is coming in our out of a building you might need to adjust your exposure to compensate during the shot

Parallel nodes take the base from the previous node only and apply the changes. For example a Vignette and a mask in parallel, would always use the same node before them. If you do serial nodes, they apply one after the other. Serial nodes make it harder to control specific parts of the image because each serial node uses the one before it to start creating a new mask. So what you saw initially, by the time you get to your 3rd mask correction, may be completely different and harder to control. Best way to learn this is trying it. This node structure is golden. Wish I knew this a few years back.

@@ricardobirnbaum A great explanation, if I wasn't already subscribed I would now!
