You know I recently built my Freedom and after doing so I decided to do exactly what you mentioned here, watching the anime where it comes from so I can get inspiration, and whoa! Little did I know that Gundam Seed/Destiny would become one my favorite animes of all time. Also, after taking a few pictures with my phone, I discovered that I really like to take pictures of my kits and then look at them and be so proud of how cool the gunpla looks.

Awesome LightyGab! There’s always two halves to a Gunpla kit: the first is building it; the second is admiring it 😂

@@aMillaGunpla can confirm! I can't stop looking at him and the fact that I loved the series where it came from, adds so much more to it. Now I want to get the other kits that belong to the main characters, like the Strike Rougue, Justice, Lunamaria's Zaku.

Just started getting interested in Gunpla. So, i've never shot gunpla, but i have shot human models for a long time and shot a few bits of lego models. Some good points in your video. I'm happy that you meanioned RAW in the editing video. A few tips i'd like to add: 1) get a tripod, so you can use a slower shutter speed and get your ISO as low as possible and get a greater depth of field with your fstop. 2) Shoot manual mode if you can. That have more control over the exposure. 2a) Manual focus will also ensure the camera doesn't randomly decide to focus on the foot or something. 3) If you shoot with a 1 second or more exposure, you can just use one light and move the light around to "paint" the light on your model. I recomend starting with the side you want to be slightly dimmer, then move to the other side and leave it there till the shutter closes. that will simulate having multiple lights and creates a really smoooth transistion of the lights and shadows. You will need to experiment A LOT with the shutter speed, brightness of the light and how fast you move it, till you find soemthing you like. 4) Backlight! having a light above and behind the model to one side of the model or the other will help to separate the model from the background, especially if with a dark kit on a dark backaground. 5) this might be more resources that some people have, but if you have a large tablet, you can put the tablet flat up against a large tv or comptuer monitor. get a free space scene from NASA or something and display it on both screens. it's a great way to give a setting for the model. 6) trial and error. the beauty of digital photography, is the only cost of doing it over and over again is time.

Subbed! Great explanation. I love the look of the overhead shots that you are making. The dark background, the focus on the gunpla and your hands. Hope you make a tutorial on how to achieve that kind of composition in your vids. Thanks and more power!

Great video! I have small light boxes like you showcase but I have trouble with shadows cast onto the background from the kit :/

@aMillaGunpla Жыл бұрын
You'll need to either bring your model further away from the background or (ideally) add a layer of diffusion, like tissue paper or frosted acrylic, in front of the light so that the light bounces more around the model, making the shadows less harsh

Yeah! And you can usually pick up black acrylic at Home Depot or Lowes for pretty cheap. I think I only spent around $10-12 for 2 squares of what I’m using

Good tips. Is there any guideline on the brightness of the light please? Thanks.
@aMillaGunpla
@aMillaGunpla 3 жыл бұрын
It'll mostly depend on your camera. If you are able to control your camera's ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, keep your ISO as low as possible with bright light. Positioning of the light also matters--the closer it is to your subject, the softer the shadows will be

What do you use for your black background? None of the walls in my house is black lol. Any tips?

In this video, I used a black pop-up backdrop from Neewer. It'd probably be easier (and cheaper) to get some black paper/posterboard.

I have a question. I'm having getting the leds on my kits to show up right. There's a glare on every one and I can't get it quite right. What should I do?
@aMillaGunpla
@aMillaGunpla Жыл бұрын
If the LEDs show too bright, you need to make the light shining on your kit brighter and adjust your exposure to let in less light. Essentially, you'd be equalizing how bright the "inside" of the kit is with the "outside"

Whats your camera settings to make the background so dark but foreground crisp?
@aMillaGunpla
@aMillaGunpla 2 жыл бұрын
Good keylighting will give you a bright foreground and dark background. I think in this video, I have my lens aperture set to 2.8 to get the bokeh on the background
