[@stiknpoke]

@@MediaDivision You've done exactly that. Thank you. As for me, I feel like rip van winkle, ready to properly 'make' again. No more Panavision kits and 60 man crews... Thank you. By the way... do you know how well the anamorphic adaptor works on a contax 35-70? Can you get it to a 28mm or is 30mm the absolute, limit? I've heard it's 'single focus-ish'... : ) or do you have to play with it? Meanwhile, as ever, thank you for incredibly inspiring tutorials.

And btw, you didn''t answer the question regarding that mirror for replicant eyes effect. Where to buy and what exactly is? It seems to be a simple piece of glas. No?

[@MediaDivision]

@@stela_camera_girl We have lots of good stuff coming... we post some "whats cooking" on instagram now and than. You can use all kinds of reflective glass but the best way is to use a beamsplitter. Every teleprompter will do, or replacement glass for prompters if you want to go cheap. If you get a teleprompter, you basically have it in a useable rig right away.

[@geverniveup]

One of the best lighting tutorials i've ever seen on KZbin....and ive seen A LOT. Clear, concise, simple explanation...with a witty and creative sponsor add, a practical lighting equipment explanation, and a product suggestion. Also....a very CINEMATIC real world lighting scene at the end! You guys deserve a million subs! You got mine for sure! THANK YOU!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot Waseem!!! Hopefully more will realise that 😜

[@stateazure]

Wow, this was just amazing. I'm still very new to shooting video, lenses and lighting and this is really going to help a lot. I wish I could get your advice on lighting my own videos, I quite like what I'm able to achieve but I feel it could be so much better. I shoot videos for my electronic ambient music on my YT channel, while I think they're acceptable I'm struggling to get the cinematic look and have to rely a lot on colour grading. Doesn't help that I'm in a very small/cramped studio, using cheap LEDs! Have to at least get me one of those Colourspijkes! Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks man… color grading is a necessity when shooting with DSLR or Mirrorless. Have a look at Filmconvert. It is a pretty fast solution to get you closer to something I would consider cinematic. Lighting wise, try a couple of things… backlight looks more cinematic. CInematic light is poetic and usually not ideal for moderation and vice versa. For moderation, I would usually go with a big light source… Ideally a bounce of a huge diffusion

[@stateazure]

@@MediaDivision Really appreciate your advice! My biggest limitation is lack of room to put up lighting. Anyway, subbed and looking forward to more. Your videos are extremely inspiring, keep it up!

[@MediaDivision]

I know the problem! Nice to have you and so long!

im mostly into astrophotography but damn i keep coming back to this channel just because of the insane production quality and interesting information. hope you guys never stop.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot man... well, you never know. Each new episode gets more and more complex. This will have to pay off sometime

[@pupperemeritus9189]

@@MediaDivision it might be a fancy ask but could you guys try combining videography with astrophotography and make a new field of astrovideography. You guys have the super speed lenses and superb cameras to try and achieve that. Maybe when you guys have finished your current bucketlist of making videos. Considering the SNR for photography itself is requiring trackers and long exposures. I thought you would be up for a challenge.

[@MediaDivision]

I don't see value for us in that... you can't tell a story that way. Things are not happening in real time and the entry in sophisticated results is costly. Capturing the beauty of the cosmos in a cinematic fashion has been done so many times. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey does it very nicely.

Consistently solid videos. One of the best channels out there. Keep up the awesome work!

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot Ace..... I will try.... and try to get better ;-)

[@GxAce]

​@@MediaDivision Well you are already in an awesome position! I'm definitely excited to see what the better version of you does because you are already awesome ;P I recently did a project with anamorphic on a Hasseblad H6D that you might find interesting over on my channel ;) I loved your video on medium format. You are totally right about needing to buy up the medium format film lenses before they go the way of anamorphics haha.

[@MediaDivision]

@@GxAce I don't know myself yet… thats the whole excitement ;-) Yeah……… I saw that the other day after you posted that in "Anamorphic Shooters" really digged the look of that one and I am yellow of envy that you had a H6D to play with. I was surprised that your sankor gave you a workable field of view with the medium format lenses. I'm working on a "ultra Panavision 70" episode myself to recapture the look of Ben Hur and the Hateful eight. The lighting tut in this episode is shot on that setup already. Where are you located?

[@GxAce]

@@MediaDivision Fantastic! Someone must have posted it there, but I'll definitely join the group. I got super lucky with Hasselblad seeing my previous video where I originally machined and mounted the anamorphic on my 500c/m and thinking it was cool enough to try on digital! Yeah, as long as you shoot over an 85mm equiv lens you are golden. I was trying to get my hands on an anamorphic with a larger rear diameter while I had the H6D but no such luck. Hot damn am I excited for that video!! This current video looks great. You definitely have one of the best shot youtube channels out there. I'm located in Michigan USA. I'd love to figure out how to collaborate at some point!

[@MediaDivision]

@@GxAce I use the AnamorphiX by Letus as the 1.33x stretch resembles the 1.25x from ultra Panavision the closest. It allows to use 35mm medium format… with booster on FF… that is wiiiiiiide. While I totally dig the look of your setup , the rolling shutter pretty much kills it The H6D sensor read out is to slow (it is just not designed for that) and the anamorphic enhances that. My Mavo LF is much much better in that regard (while not perfect). My heart cries for an Alexa Mini LF… but it will not get it ;-). I would love to collab… lets talk again while I produce the ultra Panavision 70 episode… maybe we can put some of your H6D footage in there and I give you a shout out… would not harm your subs.

[@GabeJChorabik]

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Thx for the great tips Nicolas! Always luv to see what's next!! Light is it, without it we truly have nothing, and for most Filmmakers, cinematographers, or DOP's... is the KEY to a successful film. I find it fascinating how many spend $$$$ on equipment but seem to lack in lighting, me included. I'm still on the fence with LED lighting as it is still evolving by leaps & bounds, and most... COST. I'm saving up and will look at them again next year. Cheers

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot Richard… always nice to have you around!! I think the kit in this is very reasonable with something like 1200$… much less that most will spend on a lens while way more important then the lens… I love Tungstens look for sure… but in the field and without power they are next to worthless.

[@IslandFilmMaker]

@@MediaDivision Thx, yes... you're right! Your kit is compact, portable, multi-usable, and priced very reasonable for what you have. If I lived in the US a would buy now but with .74 CAN exchange, I'm going to wait till at least the fall.

[@tommcdaniel7775]

Do you think you could do a tutorial on lighting meters? Still confused about which options are best? Great channel and very informative, fabulous cinematography :)

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks Tom… no, i think that is way too specific for a small audience. Lighting meters are essential when working with film as you don't see the exposure on display. Since we got life view, waveform monitors, etc, they became unnecessary. If you feel like working with them… I am sure there are plenty of videos about it out there already.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot Farid. Light can be all sorts of things ... cinematic lighting is a story driver... or it should be.

[@farid1406]

@@MediaDivision Amen to that. Do you have any recommendations for lenses that produce a more "mysterious" pure look to them? For example, Canon lenses are reknown for a "warmer" look, and Zeiss for a "cooler" look, but I love night photography, and really want to bring out the mystery in the unknown dark of an unfamiliar neighborhood. The beauty in the way the streetlamp pierces the darkness, the wonder in the streaks of light on the pavement winding around the edge of the alley. Something that picks up the "glow" of light so to speak. Any suggestions?

[@MediaDivision]

well... the Canon FD 55mm f1.2 looks very dreamy wide open and the non aspherical version is somewhat cheap.... if you want to go really wide, the Kipon IBELUX f0.85 can reveal a new world on a sensitive camera like a Sony A7sII. Have you seen our "ultrafast" episode? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKGYdmqfjd2Yh6c

[@farid1406]

@@MediaDivision You have successfully addicted me to yet more lenses. Going to have to save up for the Kipon in the future. I have the Canon FL 55 1.2 which I love for the dreamy look it gives fully open. Is it comparable to the FD?

[@farid1406]

@@MediaDivision Yessir! Haven't finished the whole episode, so I'm not sure if you went over any "budget friendly" Ultra-fasts. I was inspired by these options you listed and looked into the Mitakon f/.95 but was disappointed since I was a Panasonic S1 and the mounts they offer (Sony E, Fuji X, Canon EOS) can't be adapted for the Leica L full frame. At this point its either the IBELUX 40 mil $1400 (LOL) or the brand new Mitakon 50mm f/.95 but I'm not supe hyped about the 50 mil focal length - I have so many fifties I'd like to get something just a bit wider.

[@MagnumDB]

It's interesting to watch how lighting has evolved just for KZbin bloggers. It was all about 3-point lighting, then the ring lights to keep everyones face soft. I then started to see everyone using fairy lights or groups of other small old-fashioned bulbs - to have multiple spots of bokeh light. Today I'm seeing neon colored lights in the backgrounds - neon blue and purple most commonly with a regular white light on the subjects face.

[@MediaDivision]

Sure.... lighting is fashion and the technical possibilities...... in cinema we are all about side and backlight an d about low key lighting... that will inspire Creators plus the general expectation regarding production value went up.

alternative option to the Aputure LS-mini20d is a bi-color Dedo LEDzilla, also has spot/flood option with fresnel front and powers from compact sony batteries, plus its so small you can use it as a top camera light, which is great for some uses.

[@MediaDivision]

I like Dedo.... and it is Bi-Color, but a 3rd of the power for over double the price is hard to swallow for me.

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

@@MediaDivision yea its fair enough, i think the aputure wasn't out yet when i bought the dedo, buttt i also heard sometimes the aputure's fan can get a bit noisy? i used to do a lot of interviews sometimes in tight spaces so that would have been a big no no. also looks a tiny bit bulky to use as a ENG style topmic as i described, which can be a neat feature of the dedo, but with u on the power and price.

[@MediaDivision]

@@Patrick-jj5nh not this one, no... the large 300 D is barely audible.... funny enough the power supply for the 300 D is very audible.... idiots ;-) The LS-mini is not a great light, but it is cheap, bright and it is compact... just right for this set.
