Creative Lighting for $1

[@cleverghostchili]

*CAUTION* - These thinner films are definitely prone to melting and can be a fire hazard especially when placed in front of point source lighting or hotter/larger practical lights. I can only recommend these for use as shown in the video - for smaller lamps and household fixtures. Film safely, Ghost

I've used Index dividers you'd use to keep paperwork organized, eight different colors in a pack, $1.25 at Dollar Tree. Obviously for LEDs that stay cool enough only.

[@JaymesMedia]

Bro, this is why you're the GOAT and on your way 10K SUBS. You deserve every sub you have.

[@cleverghostchili]

that'd be a shock! to this day I still don't know what people want, the algorithm eludes me

[@hugomalpeyre]

Seeing you talking to the camera made me realise i love your voice. I must have known it before without noticing it but now it's clear how powerful and deep and subtle is your voice. Great job on those light and color tips.

[@cleverghostchili]

What a surprise, thought most people would be turned off by it, must be the experience 😂

[@danriordan6395]

Ahh yes, this apartment must have many leather bound books and is rich in the smell of mahogany.

[@tannorwalters]

2:49 focus rack noise goes crazy! Been seeing this whenever I'm at the local crafts and had ideas of using them as gels. You've inspired me once again to experiment with my setups! Great video, Marko!

[@cleverghostchili]

yeah I should have just pulled by hand lol, glad you liked it

[@temitayoisme]

Loving the content buddy, great work

[@jondoeslifestuff]

I love lamp!

[@cleverghostchili]

stay classy

[@Trailer86]

great video. I agree with your philosophy on lighting.

[@EdProsser]

I think the lighting definitely looks more grounded like this! Really interesting idea with the gels on practicals, I also kinda liked the gel on the lens - something I’d love to experiment with

[@cleverghostchili]

Gels for the camera definitely work with some colors feeling surreal like orange/red. I’m thinking of Men, Gerald’s Game, Blade runner 2049

Always learning from your vids!!

Your dedicated ghost teacher

[@chakk0]

Great video and tbh -> really creative!!

[@cleverghostchili]

sometimes budget forces you to go outside the box

[@chakk0]

@ you did an amazing job🔥

[@lexgraham]

Definitely going to start using gels on practicals. Thanks

[@cleverghostchili]

film safely

[@0xDoohu]

lamp good, cheap good, video good! Ghost good!

[@cleverghostchili]

Doohu gud

[@AnotherCameraChannel]

Should be obvious but please don't do this on lights that run hot, you will melt your gels, and it's a fire hazard. Ceiling lights with glass fronts can be extremely hot.

[@cleverghostchili]

Yes, it was an oversight to not mention melting issues and why I mainly used the thicker plastic sheets, good comment

[@ChrisBrogan]

Wait. Are the lights you're putting these gels over LED? Like, you're not going to burn down your house while filming, right?

[@cleverghostchili]

Yes, these are more for practical lamps, It would have been more responsible to address the melting issue. Thank you.

[@IsaacPaulides]

I am a little confused as to how to acquire the coloured films. Is it something you can find in a shop or online? They seem ideal!

[@cleverghostchili]

They are called colored gel light filters, you can buy them at any arts and crafts store or online like this one amzn.to/49PHzqr just be aware these are meant for small practicals that don't get too hot.

[@IsaacPaulides]

@cleverghostchili Thank you so much!

[@lecanius]

Thinking about selling my xh2s for the sigma fp as i recently got the xm5 which satisfies my fuji look need for pictures. I long for better low light and cinematic video, do you still use your xh2s? Do you have a video comparing them by any chance?

[@cleverghostchili]

@@lecanius I have a very short comparison at the toward the end of this video. If you better lowlight and things to look like a modern cinema camera FP will be one of the best considerations for value kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqOZh5yDbNCqn7Msi=tlhnZ0B5H3ZvlClM

[@OnRoy]

What is this call? Where can I buy it?

[@cleverghostchili]

I'm not using any particularly brand and you can get these from any arts and crafts store. However you if want a CTO colored gel filter recommendation I can recommend these: amzn.to/49PHzqr just be aware these are meant for small practicals that don't get too hot.

[@shueibdahir]

I've been thinking about this exact same thing lately for the short film and you just managed to clear my doubts. I've got a nanlite fs300 that's literally a barebones Forza 300 so it only has the 5600k mode and a few effects. What do you think is the best place to place these inside a soft box?

[@cleverghostchili]

Actually 300 is probably enough to melt these if they’re that close. If you want to be super safe then it place them on the outer edge
