[@joedoe7506]

glamour equals butterfly, high contrast equals low key, xerox is quite interesting. good job guys

[@Aaron_Smith_OM]

Nice. Funny enough, you can see where the lights are placed in her eyes. Well, the ones in front. The others you can gauge from looking at the surroundings. This is a really great video. Thanks for uploading!

[@9StudioProductions]

Her smile is intoxicating OMG

[@sgcollins]

I like this! Good work.

[@fairlie1000]

Love the Quasars, thanks for the tutorial. Great job!!!!

[@videographiya]

Thank you for making this very straight to the point tutorial ShareGrid and thank you Casey for an amazing job!

[@ShareGrid]

Andriy Semenyuk we’re so glad you found this useful!! Thanks for the kind words. There will be more like this!

[@AnandaGarden]

This was very interesting - made me smile. I thought of beauty photography for cosmetic companies - and of course music videos. Some really beautiful effects. Thanks, guys.

[@tonypith811]

Awesome info! Great setups... going to test those lights out.

[@ShareGrid]

Thanks so much. Have a great shoot!

[@ooh2weeproductions202]

Awesome video, I got some qausars coming in shortly!!

[@amirperry3015]

Amazing video! Thanks for doing this.

[@Sameir8055]

Awesome...!! But, these lights give me a stroke when I see you handling it. Are they so fragile? How did you manage to fix it on the C-stand?

[@ericlombart]

Wow awesome job! Looks so good.

[@ShareGrid]

Eric Lombart thanks! Your video is in the near future...

[@youtravel2567]

Super cool video

[@CoreyMorrison]

Super creative and helpful video! Any idea when ShareGrid will be in Dallas? :)

[@ShareGrid]

Corey Morrison thank you! And very soon...

[@mjaron5]

Looking to build a DIY set-up similar to some of the options you have here. What clamp are you using for some of the single lights?

[@ShareGrid]

I have built custom rigs from cheap home depot parts, mainly from the gardening section..but have seen people use Cardellini clamps or the Matthews Quasar rigs for a few extra bucks! -Kyle

[@tinderbox218]

These seem useful as alternatives to strip softboxes, or for lighting backgrounds, or as in-frame novelty lighting, but most of the other applications in this video seemed a bit like fitting a square peg into a round hole. And it's a matter of taste but I don't think square eyelights are as pleasing as round. However, these lights have their place and it would be nice to have a few on set for certain situations. -- checking piggybank -- 🐖

Tinderbox There are hundreds of ways to use these bad boys on set..we find new and inspiring ones every week!

[@StephenEastwood]

What iso, shutter, and aputure were you shooting, how much light do they put out?

[@0800filmez]

Very nice guys!

[@ShareGrid]

0800filmes thanks!!

[@jimarri]

Don't forget, 2" black paper tape is a great way to reduce the intensity or kill some of the "wrap" of the light.

[@ShareGrid]

Jim McKinney good call!!

[@jimarri]

And I'm a big fan of the Quasars, both what you use in this video and the crossfaders.

[@waveoflight]

So are dimmers.

[@MarioGarciduenas]

FTW!!! lol Casey!!! Dope bruh!

[@RunAndGunVisuals]

Love this!

[@gavingreenwalt1409]

I think a moving light shall forever be known as the Bladerunner 2049 light.

[@ShareGrid]

Gavin Greenwalt Hahah so true!

[@adamballweg]

Where have I heard that end song?

[@nicholasscreenstoryteller7708]

These look very intriguing, especially with the new Matthews grip accessories AND compatibility with Kino-Flo fixtures. I can't find where to buy them, however! I've been looking at the the vendors listed on Quasar Science's website, and, after looking at all of the listed vendors in California, several in Arizona, and one in New York (AbelCine), I find only two vendors who sell any Quasar Science products, and they only have a few of them (like the LED light bulbs, not the tubes). Does anyone know a good source for these? (I also looked at B&H, Adorama, and Amazon, with no luck.) I'd really like to try some of these tubes. Also, what's the difference between the T12 and the T8 tubes? Thanks! Nicholas

[@ShareGrid]

Nicholas Screenstoryteller they’re still not out I believe but contact Matthews. They may have some demos for you to try.

[@nathanbarrick]

T12 is the crossfade model that can switch between color temperatures. The T8 is smaller in size and can't change color temperature (comes in either 3200k or 5600k). T12s are more powerful at 50w (for 4') whereas T8s are only 30w (for 4'). Since these lights have become insanely popular, they're harder to come by. About a year ago, we ordered some T12 directly from Quasar and they came very quickly. However, I recently tried to order some T8s from Hot Rod Cameras and they've been backordered from 2 months now.

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

Hot Rod Camera's in Burbank is where I got mine.

[@recipiend5711]

Where can i find these light in UK?

[@ShareGrid]

recipien D contact Quasar Science! [e-mail]

[@jinsjoseph6995]

amaizing....

[@FitFlexJuli]

Great video guys!!! Who makes that Quasar Bracket you guys were using?? Thanks in advance!

[@Thats_my_Point]

FitFlexJuli their the Matthews made plate you can get through Quasar directly. We also used the new Matthews MQ clamp!

[@tomlazio]

"Inverse square law"

[@vexphoto]

Too much spill, pta to control. Nice light though. They should make something round.

[@jefegreenheart2705]

there's a nasty pinge of light on her nose from the hair light

[@waveoflight]

1:56 so amateur. Like wow. 1:59 you were able to top it. I am in awe. Please, go back in and pixilate that out. No one should think that is remotely acceptable. The 3:38 edge is stunning. If I can, all my edge lights are from a large soft source. Having said this, you did it by accident. You need a housing for the tubes. That is the standard. Taking them out of a housing is the exception. The moving light was really nice, can be very powerful if used at the right time. Moving lights are very uncommon.

[@SF_Curious]

That was not “glamour “ sorry.
