DIY Diffusion!

[@dondayelbano3262]

This series of lighting videos is helping me kill it on my lighting unit at school. You guys are amazing. You're helping my bullshit, hand-me-down equipment actually compete in this course.

[@milesroyalfilms8018]

Color grading is a highly underestimated trait of good filmmaking. It is also fairly hard for new filmmakers like me! Thanks for sharing your insight behind why you made the choices you did while grading.

[@ChrisTempel]

This works pretty well. I shot an entire feature using a shower curtain and a work light rack back in 2010 ;) Leap: Rise of the Beast (Also the first feature to be shot and completed on the T2i). To support it, I built a 5ft by 5ft PVC frame to hang it from

[@HugoHum]

***** dont be a douche about it stan

[@samnorwood]

The music packs are awesome! I can't wait to buy the whole thing! I really appreciate you guys and all that you're doing for the indie film community. Thanks for sticking with it!

[@bernmangilaya8322]

watching this during COVID 19 lockdown. Their banters were hilarious!

[@timm2020]

Ryan I found that white canvas and plastic tarps work very well. We have a couple 48" x 48" frames and use bungee cords to attach a canvas tarp. It works really well for overhead lighting as well. Great Vid.

[@hedleymarks]

Can't get enough of film riot, sooo much to learn! You guys are the beez...thanksssss

[@DavidKuehn]

Hey, FilmRiot. I just bought your full "Triune Sound Music Pack" and its freaking awesome. For me as a young filmmaker this is the stuff of my dreams. Having a set of high quality adjustable musik I can freely use helps me out in so many projects. And I love how you added those stingers and so on. You can realy tell that you thought what would help the people and not how you could make money out of this. Best wishes from germany.

[@TheZaco32]

I can watch episodes like this all day long. Good to see Timmy too!

[@NeonDarkShadow]

Nice Se7en reference! Keep up the great work chaps! Been working professionally for 10+ years now and still learn nice little tips and tricks from your show. Loving the tips segments. Always be learning!

[@akshaythepunekar]

Happy Birthday Emily! We all love you alot !!

[@BA65574]

The banter when they're on the set is so much funnier when you're sleep deprived.

[@RedSprecacenereMusic]

Great episode! I really love it. The Swiss knife of film-making.

[@RRshawncash]

Bought the FULL Music pack yesterday! Was finishing up a title sequence and needed music. Went to the site and there is was pre-announcement! Worked PERFECT!!! Just starting to use it, but good stuff!

[@matthewdoherty4313]

Great Episode Thanks :) I got a diffuser and silver, gold, black and white reflector all in one but will use this too. Great Tip.

[@NathRayner]

Ry Guy And Crew, you guys are legends and have some top quality shiznit!

[@BlacktionHero]

FILM RIOT FOREVER!!!

[@TodessternNews]

I really like the music that is playing in the test shot. Is there any way to get a licence for that? I want to use it in a demo reel.

[@CZsWorld]

Nice Seven reference.

[@gownerjones2]

What's the music from the test shots at 2:18 ?

[@deadguynumbr6]

Maybe something from their music pack?

[@gownerjones2]

deadguynumbr6 I looked through it and couldn't find it.

[@TheJericho1777]

HOLyP | Gaming whaaat is it?

[@PizziFilms]

I'm wondering the same thing. I really like it and want to use something like that.

[@lordskull70]

It's an awesome song!

[@macleod_media]

Just got the full Cinema Toast Crunch music pack! It's well worth the money everyone, thanks Ryan!

[@bengregoire]

loved seeing you color grade. Great episode

[@legodudes2000member]

Hey ry-guy! I've been wanting to do motion cap for a while but there aren't many tutorials out there...... Any help?

[@MrDrakezilla]

What's the music playing in the test shots?

[@Tom_Swiss]

Great tips on Magic Bullet Looks, too. Thanks Ryan.

[@cinemenico]

Thanks for those grain samples, that was cool to see compared.

[@justbfilms]

The Music Pack names are just great.

[@filmriot]

:) That's Ben Worley for ya.

[@ZackHosseini]

Another great de-noising plugin is NeatVideo. Similar to DeNoiser, but a bit more forgiving in my experience.

[@HotPokkets]

what program is he using at 5:58? and is there anything like it in premiere pro cs6?

[@WarTornProductions]

This really helped us Grading our Hand to hand Fight for MONDAY CHALLENGE! Thanks!

[@noxtron9000]

Great episode! Thanks Film Riot for everthing :D

[@FrozenFilmsByParis]

I'm trying to buy the curtain to use for diffusion. What type of curtain do I need to get? As in the material, what do I ask for? Thanks..

[@AndrewGayner]

Thanks guys! That was a awesome and easy to follow demonstration!

[@BarefootMediaTV]

great tips... and that cowboy music in the test shots is AWESOME

[@kris.monroe]

I've actually made my own light bar - and an easy trick is to have only ONE light at one end, and THREE at the other end (leaving a four socket gap between them). That of course cuts the amount of light in half, but on a close up it gives an easy highlight from the one blub, and fill or key with the three bulbs. Experiment with it. Who knows when something like that could come in handy.

[@WWpictures100]

Are you going to show us a sample of you using the music pack in action? I've already watched all you videos on the pack.

[@lordskull70]

Please show us how you setup that stand for the shower curtain. What type of stand is it, and where can I get one?!

[@Opocor]

Hi Ryan! What is name of that song in 1:16? And where is possible to download it? Thanks so much! JK

[@TheBink1000]

Could you do a DIY rig for above angles? About seven or eight feet about the ground? Strong enough to hold up a DSLR? Would like to shoot a music video for my band, but in one scene in the script I wrote calls for a shot from above. Thanks for reading my comment!

[@HousekeePNG]

What would I be asking for if I wanted one of those stands to hold up the curtain?

[@HatsuonJ]

I need my W-S-E-R rubber wristband! Please make more!

[@SlimReaction]

Whats the name of the song at 2:18?

[@CineLikeFILMS]

Love you guys so much! keep doing what you do!

[@Bakamanzz]

Yay! Its Tim!

[@eddmclaren]

Can you guys do an episode comparing professional lighting, mounting, accessories vs cheap knock off items? I recently found a 120 led light on eBay from China with no brand on it for $15 and I bought it just for fun, when it arrived I was surprised to find out it works just as well as my $80 professional one. I've been wondering if there are any other cheap film accessories can stand up to high quality ones.

[@Dhujdic]

Any thoughts / suggestions for diffusing basic clamp lights?

[@JB.Creative]

Hi ryan thanks for all your awesome knowledgeable tips, could you show us how you composite a 3D animation into live footage I find it hard to get the perfect realism sometimes, or if you have done already could you point me to your video? thank you.

[@TheGallifrey123]

I'd love to know how you lighted i.e position of the lights for the shower curtain and grading shot :P

[@MTOhRyan]

How do they find the old black and white film clips??

[@CartoonCorey]

Ryan, what's the best way to convert the mts files going to the sd card? Transcoding all that footage to mp4 or the like is time consuming!

[@TheOfficialZERGRUSH]

Happy the guys back now we need Bruno

[@Dollahs19]

Film Riot Is there a spot exposure tool equivalent in CS6? More specifically, something in PrPro, SpeedGrade? or a low/no cost plug-in?

[@CubicBrain]

Hey Ryan. Have you tried using the plugin called "neat video"? Its a great alternative to red giants denoiser.

[@galinswigart]

What song did you play when you did the test shots? Has a very Django Unchained feel to it.

[@BrettCWX]

I just bought some songs. Thanks for the amazing work! Keep it up, guys :)

[@UbaidSeth]

Great tip on the shower curtains but which stand would I need to use? Where would I get those?

[@filmriot]

You can hang it however you want. It's incredibly light, so anything will work.

[@PatUtz]

Film Riot specifically which stand was that which you used?

[@rockU4fun]

Film Riot, mir fehlen die Worte: Diese Soundpacks sind der Hammer! Ihr macht so tolle Arbeit Jungs und ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie sehr Ihr die Bedürfnisse von Hobby-Filmern erkennt und entsprechend Material zu guten Preisen zur Verfügung stellt! Danke Danke Danke. Da ihr das ja nicht versteht sag ich es noch auf Englisch: Awesome Job Guys, If I'd be a girl, I probalby would be in Love with you. With Stark I guess...

[@AuthorBryceSanders]

Got some big stuff in the works, thanks for helping rekindle my passion for film again guys. =)

[@JDsAfter12]

what was the song that was used during the test footage?

[@motioncinema1835]

Now say that shot that you graded was part of a film, how would you get all the other shots to match it?

[@Benjamin_Gilbert-Lif]

Hey Ryan, could you explain aspect bars?

[@mikecaron231]

What ISO did you use in your test shots? Thanks.

[@oscargt23]

What light weight pole do you recommend I use for my curtain?

[@PyschWardFilms]

I'll have to try the shower curtain just because it looks awesome. Sick Batman shirt btw!!

[@soundninja99]

Tim finally managed to get back on filmriot

[@VikramVetrivel1]

Was there something wrong with the key-ing process? The green edges are very apparent in this video.

[@andrewcopple7075]

So where is the download link? I can't find it. Thanks!

[@nickmcpherson40]

Which magic bullet product did you use to color correct?

[@GNARDBZ]

Hey friendo, I was watching the Halloween challenge winner and I was wondering how Tyler did that thing when the girl like suddenly got closer the went back

[@marioricciardi5780]

What is the bar that you clamp the shower curtain to?

[@evan0316]

What are your thoughts on Adobe SpeedGrade for color grading? I also found an LED light panel from a brand called Genaray that seems to be significantly cheaper than others ive come across so I was wondering if you'd heard anything about them in terms of quality.

[@Gselx]

lmaooo 3:28 I knew he was gonna pull something w that smirk earlier

[@saralong1612]

Does Ryan use a mac or windows since my magic bullets is different. Or maybe its another version?

[@ZackHosseini]

Ryan, so you prefer FXHome's film grain plugin to Looks Film Grain tool?

[@MichaelSchofieldFilmmaker]

Can u do a review of the HitFilm plugins?

[@dafLOh]

How come Filmriot is one of the few channels on KZbin which doesn't show me the "Send-To-Chromecast"-Symbol when playing it on the desktop webpage? Works fine via the KZbin Android App.

[@FilmsCrunch]

Hey rhy Do you have any tips for fog in films.!

[@FilmsCrunch]

I know was that Adobe and the frog

[@TechManYeah]

I have a fog machinery ne. Don't get cheap fog. Go with higher grade so it doesn't annoy the actor. Also when you have fogged the room out in fog, use a piece of card and woft it to spread the fog around and get a more even look. U might also want to get a more expensive fogger if u want I to be quiet.

[@FilmsCrunch]

Ok great starting youtube soon need for short film

[@TechManYeah]

😃

[@shanerandal2168]

Mr Ryan Conolly if you listening, please can you make a review of the canon t3i and what lenses are great for video please, this is the only camera i can afford at this point.Your show rocks my dude, keep it up !

[@Danialdaneshmand]

Any particular reason why you didn't go for Davinci resolve for grading? it's simply a good looking all in one Editing software.

[@seans3280]

Happy Birthday Emily!

[@evannicolini6990]

Ryan, do you use magic bullet as your primary color grading software or do you use Adobe Premiere and After Effects?

[@rustyshutterfilms]

Was that country-esque music in your Sound pack??

[@krazypaddler]

that is my new favourite knock knock joke :)

[@TheMentalVendi]

whats the song at 2:19?

[@TheJericho1777]

yes do tell

[@artmuk]

BEAUTIFULL! thanks very much! one question: what camera are you using in this clip¿

[@BobKermanPlaysGames]

1:13 men in black reference?

[@lukeslife8912]

Hey 2 things. If you know your grading do you shoot in RAW all the time? Also opinion on Neat video for denoising?

[@SuperWhiteLightning8]

Thanks a lot Ryan I learned a lot in this episode!

[@alrightk]

I need more Tim in my life!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Thank you showing us how to color grade our videos. That was a little fast but I will watch this video a couple of times.

[@arfilms8808]

Hey you record a few fragments ??

[@AlliHahn]

What editing program did you use in this?

[@OK43AndCrew]

Timothy's back !!!!!!!!

[@adhiachu8785]

What is the name of soft cloth ?

[@noahdavis2112]

Does anyone know what camera he uses?

[@DarkTriforceFilms]

Do you think it's possible to make a good webseries with only editing programs like Windows Movie Maker? I'm only 13, and trying to save up for things like after effects.

[@paulocone1963]

Try checking out Lightworks, which is a professional editing software for free. www.lwks.com

[@Lupo2punto0]

The packs titles are hilarious...

[@PedroFlynn]

We need a tutorial on how to use f stop, ISO, and that kinds of wizardry things!

[@gownerjones2]

That's already done. Look it up on their channel!

[@PedroFlynn]

Thanks mate!

[@A.Studios0311]

You guys don't mess around as much as you used to.

[@DunderOnion]

What song is that with Tim?
