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.

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.

Hi Nicolas. I’m posting on my wife’s account as it’s logged in to YT on iPad. I’m watching my second awesome video from you and was pleasantly surprised to hear a track I composed during your Nord VPN promo! I’m a feature film director and composer. I directed the horror movie Urban Legend among others. I absolutely love your channel and I’m so glad the first time I’ve bumped into one of my AudioJungle royalty free tracks was on one of your videos. I couldn’t be prouder! You are a gem on KZbin and set the bar so much higher than others creating content in this space, or any other. You deserve a huge audience and I will certainly help spread the word to my mates in the biz. Warmest regards from a new fan. Jamie.

[@MediaDivision]

Hey Jamie... thats what I brought spectrum of talent! Impressive man. I am completely yellow of jealousy, directing a feature with that talent must be such a thrill. I am amazed that my little amateur KZbin shenanigans make you proud man... but I feel very honoured and I am very happy and thankful that you plan to share our content... we certainly need a bigger audience to make all this work worth wile. Really like that Ninja track. Appreciate you being around and hope to hear from you soon. Nikolas

[@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.

3:51 - and the Oscar for Best Cinematic Instruction goes to..."MEDIA DIVISION!" Thank Talos someone finally teaches that lighting is a storytelling tool, not a cosmetic tool when teaching it.

[@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.

[@mutcholokoW]

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.

@@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.

Excellent. Innovative, non-standard kit and excellent lighting examples. I pay much closer attention to your work than the others out there.
