I see in this video something I see in a lot of videos. Maybe you can answer a question for me. You've got 600 and 1200 watt lights used on shots where the light is 3 to 5 feet away from your subject. You had the 1200 on 1% and still had to use cinefoil to knock it down. And you used a 600 watt light again in just a few feet from the subject. In these instances, a 100 watt would do just fine. Even a 200 watt light. Do you not bring lower wattage lights to these kinds of shoots? Sure, having the 600d and 1200d is FANTASTIC, when that much light is needed, such as the establishing shots when the subject walks in. But for the more intimate scenes, these lights are just too big of a hammer for the job. We don't used sledge hammers on a carpentry job. Like I said, I see a lot of people do this. I don't know why, other than perhaps to show "Yeah, we have really expensive lights?" I have a light kit that runs the gamut from a 600 watt light down to an 2 inch by 2 inch light with a built in battery. I have every step of light in between these extremes to fit whatever the task may be. I have a tack hammer for hammering tacks, a claw hammer for driving nails, and a sledge hammer for knocking down brick walls (a metaphor of course). In your video I see everything being done with sledge hammers. Why is this? So that you don't have as many lights to haul around? Less lights to set up?

I love a lot of the stuff you do but this looks at least 2 steps back from what delighted to see: All of the main shots in the church looks kinda flat and not natural at all; too much light and too much reflections going on there The side light is too strong and overall levels on the subject are just too high (even on the lateral dolly) Seems like you put a lot of effort on it - for sure - but the output looks kinda "cheap" Even the close up inside the cab is meh, considering it's a "built" set
how did they make this?
