The fake pleasant conversation while internally panicking is so accurate
@noBfilm2 күн бұрын
everyone knows this feeling too good - and every time on set, when im in the second row - working as a AC / Gaffer / 2ND Unit Camera and seeing the DP in exactly the same situation - it breaks my heart to see the stress in the persons eyes! but just rethink & calm down and dont panic.

Thanks for another great share Luc. A couple of thoughts from a long time Doc Gaffer. I find that unless I'm dealing hard against a window, something like a 200w Amaran with an Impact fresnel shoulld do the job fine and have the ability to dial down ... and a lot smaller than the 300 and elipsoidal set up. In this scenario, that's how I would approach it. Unbleached Muzz, great choice ... I don't fly with c-stands, I use micro blade stands and make a t-bone out of small pvc to hang the rags, they can get pretty tight against the wall or they can be paper taped to the wall (don't use gaffer's tape). Another trick is I carry small metal mending plates from home depot, again wrapped in paper tape, they can be taped to a wall or cabinet then use small magnets to hold your fabric or tube lights, no damage. I hope that plants some seeds for small footprint solutions. Keep up the good work!

I love the spotlight attachment use them all the time. tbh, I actually thought the 2x2 panel looked the most flattering but thats just my take. For doc shoots I usually pack various size flex fills from 4'x5' on down clipped to manfrotto nano stands along with small bedsheets paper taped to the walls Deakins style. The MC pro rig was cool, def gonna add a sheet pan to my kit.

I’d go with two b7c’s two mc pros and a bunch of those pb6’s. The infinitives are brilliant. You can stack 4 together as a panel and you can use them as accents or rim lights even. The pb12 got soft boxes and grids as accessories, so I guess pb6 does as well. Also brilliant for any b-roll. If you want a panel light the f21c is lower in intensity and in fan noise than the f22c. And can even act as a light to lift the room ambiance. You could get a thick muslin from Amazon to cover it and reduce the output significantly if you are using it up close as key light. Grids would also be of high priority if it was me.

this could not come at a better time for me! awesome video, thank you! quick question, would you say the light doesn't spill as much when you draw a smaller square inside the bounce instead of lighting it entirely?

Probably, I guess in general the smaller the spot the less spill - would have to try it to be 100% sure though!

just think twice and use mini-bowens projector units!!!! using the spotlight a lot for doc shoots! against white wall, against Scrims and reflectors. tip for size: use fixture with mini bowens mount, save half of the footprint! i use a Nanlite 150D (most powerful unit with mini bowens mount, daylight only for more output) + 19° mini projector. its more or less exact the same size like a Aputure LS 300 + Dish/Fresnel! and the power output between a 150D and a 300D is just little more than one F-Stop. normal bowens mount projectors are big and heavy - if size and weight matters, like on most of doc shoots, just go the mini-bowens route unless you need much more power, like a 600W / 1200W COB. i just use one bag: the bag the projector comes shipped with, the forza is so tiny, that attached light + projector fits perfectly in the bag.

The spot light with a few gobos could be nice even for bigger setups. I love to throw some blinds on a wall in the background or some little accent like that
@markmaloney3918 сағат бұрын
Would have been curious to see if a grid on the f22 would have helped. I know that's more about control but usually cuts light down a bit too
@robinprobyn1971Күн бұрын
2x2 or 3x1 Intellytech lite cloth . Folds down small , can hang off small stands or attach to wall. Each diode has a diffusion layer so relatively softer to begin with , dims down very low. The older 160 2x2 comes with just an unbelievably small and light weight hard case. TBH all these alternatives are very fiddly, just want one stand , one light , one slim soft box / egg grid.

I wonder if instead of using a spotlight whether it might be possible to use a regular bowen's mount reflector with a grid on it. I guess it wouldn't be as effecient as putting a spotlight on a light, but it seems like in a small room like that you would still have plenty of power. Mole Richardson use to sell white paint for painting the interior of hard boxes. Not sure if they still make it or not, but it could be worth it to buy a 5-inch reflector and paint the interior white, and then throw a tight grid on it.

Can someone explain to me if the practical was to show motivation how come the key Light was daylight and the practical was tungsten? The final product looked to match well but I'm confused how they matched when they were 2 different color temperatures. Thanks in advance.

@@LucForsyth I was going to say the same thing. Also space wise for travel I prefer this option but would use an egg crate on it so it doesnt spill all over the room, that would also help dial back the intensity a bit.

@christosmontes722213 сағат бұрын
I don’t understand the need to go lower in intensity. Your practical clips in the background and doesn’t look natural to me. Because of the inverse square law, the more level you have the more you can control the spill, especially in small spaces. Trying to balance things in the 1% range makes spill a nightmare and will create issues when you have even the slightest amount of daylight coming in the room. So if you NDd down and brought that practical to a level that just creates a bit of interest in the BG instead of being the brightest and most prominent feature in your fame, then you wouldn’t need to put all that diffusion on your panel. Adding probably a bounced out of frame 60x or something to up the ambience of the room would make it a full, easy to travel with package. I take my hat off to you scoring such a gig and love the way you present your content, you sound like a great guy and this comment is made with the best intentions possible. Hope it’s not taken the wrong way.😊
