Bonjour les amis. Je vous suis sur youtube depuis qques jours, j'adore vos vidéos. Je viens de tomber sur celle ci. Mon anglais n'étant pas très complet, j'ai parfois un peu de difficulté pour tout comprendre ;-). Je sais aussi que vous parlez français donc j'espère que vous comprendrez ma question. Dans cette vidéo vous utilisez une espèce de film transparent pour réaliser votre tube, pouvez vous me dire de quelle matière il s'agit et est ce que cela se trouve sur amazon par exemple ?? Amicalement

[@hackerockmedia]

Great video.... just a side note on 1:18 , the thickness of 0.005" = 0.13mm 🤓 (by the way.... Happy new year!! )

[@DeathValleyDazed]

I love to see you two shooting in Death Valley, my favorite national park. You were so lucky to have a windless evening allowing excellent audio underneath the great DIY tutorial. As usual, spicing up the serious stuff with some antics is always fun. Where was your invaluable assistant, THE CAT? I want to see you attach a mini-light tube to Kitty's tail and capture some real furry light painting!

[@DidierFretouly]

hello friends thank you again for this video shame that you do not do more in French but that does not prevent me to continue you are here and on instagram

[@silvere36]

Fantastic! I love how simple this is. Thank you.

I tried a DIY tube with not much success. I bought a T-8 tube, cake collar and I had some Roscoe gels. I took the cake collar at the width you suggested, attached the yellow gels I had at half the width of the cake collar like you stated. I slid cake collar/gel strip into tube and used a white cloth over end of tube. I used a G26 flashlight that I believe has like 330 lumins. I set my camera on bulb, F/9 and 200 iso but tube was VERY dim. The tube was very bright for the first maybe foot but after that you can barely see any light throughout tube in the exposure. Any thoughts or suggestions ?? Appreciate all you guys do for light painting !!

[@Ericpare]

hey hi!! f9, iso200 is probably not optimal if your flashlight is only 330 lumens. Try at f4 (in a darker place). It should be better ::)) Thanks!

[@3.0ptix]

Do you mention at all what exactly your tube is made out of? Like where did it come from. Brand name of the product?

[@Ericpare]

I'm pretty sure it's the first link in the description ;)

[@lmavrikios31]

Hello Eric. Love your videos. One question, what material is the tube made of?

[@lmavrikios31]

Nevr mind. Found your video with the cake collar!!

[@hadersaad9563]

thank u i love it alot you are great

[@JulianAzcarate]

Hi Erick, for the flashlight olight m1x you use T8 or T12 tubes? I try with a DIY tube with 30mms of diameter, but the hot spot is too brilliant, I try with only tube, with a internal diffuser but the lidht it's not good

[@Ericpare]

T8 only :) it's normal to have a hot-spot. If you look at my pictures, you'll see that I always have a brighter spot near the base (where I hold the flashlight)

[@JulianAzcarate]

@@Ericpare please can you tell me how much is the outer diameter of the T8 protective tubes? Thanks again :)

[@ChrisCorkPhotography]

Hey all, where do I get the clear film from? Link is broken. Great video

[@Ericpare]

Thanks for the heads up! I fixed the link ::)

[@ChrisCorkPhotography]

@@Ericpare great will take a look. Thank you

[@HoeyLuc]

Can this be done with and LED stick?

[@EricPare13]

totally! Any source of light can work for light-painting :)

[@mark1hancock]

Great video, but what is the material you used to roll the tube.
