Man I just wish your channel had 10x more views and subscribers, so underrated! Thanks for sharing these videos!

[@SjoerdWess]

Thanks so much! Means a lot reading this

[@pauljakeman]

jij bent een legende Really great that you can control the lights from an app, no having to keep getting up to adjust things constantly. You have a great way of explaining things buddy. I agree, incandescent bulbs were always better. Awesome video again mate!

[@SjoerdWess]

Thanks a lot Paul!

[@roediman]

Leerzaam weer Sjoerd, helaas door mijn run and gun werk is licht meeslepen geen optie..Haha zelfs een statief is een hele last. Maar er zit een kunst docu in de pijplijn en dan is er meer tijd. Lijkt me overigens heel tof een keertje over je schouder mee te kijken!

[@SjoerdWess]

Tof man! Heel goed bezig. Als je een keertje wat in de studio wilt doen hier, altijd welkom!

[@synesthesiafilms]

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you!! Small sidenote: Those lights are banned in Europe for 15 years now. It is like looking into a past earth, that still consumes energy like theres not tomorrow.

[@SjoerdWess]

You’re absolutely right. But one cannot deny the quality of light these bulbs produce is incredible

[@smallbizdigitalmedia]

Great video so subscribed. I intend to use a black backdrop for pro quality sales type videos but where the focus is just on the talent and what they’re saying. I have space so will an Amaran 200d s be sufficient to power a 150cm soft box key light with grid? (Also will have a large reflector fill and Lupokickasspanel backlight.

[@SjoerdWess]

Thanks for joining the channel! I'd go with a smaller softbox, more like a 90... its more versitle!

[@paulm8157]

Quality video, clearly presented and illustrated, Sjoerd. Color temp info a plus. “You don’t see a thing, but it’s working.”😊 Nice. Incandescent lights might be getting harder to find. LEDs come in a wide range of “temperatures so you can likely find colors you prefer - same for dimmable feature. Was your prior post the last of the “interview in a barn” series? BTW, your hair sure grew out fast since that post😂. Cheers!

[@SjoerdWess]

It was the last indeed. I had a couple, but I deleted them. Didn't like what I made. This is also the last video of this year. Will focus on other things and start with something else from Jan 1!

[@paulm8157]

@@SjoerdWess Happy holidays, Sjoerd! Look forward to your 2024 vids. Cheers!

[@SirineAissaoui]

Thank you for your really qualitative content! Is it possible to know which LUT did you use for this vidéo ?

[@SjoerdWess]

Its one of the Gemini LUT pack! Not sure which one exactly!

[@PeetSneekes]

Stellingkast! Sjoerd, you mentioned the ‘Rembrandt light’ and you choose to light the part of your face that’s turned to the camera. I have heard that the general consensus is to light the other side for best effect of that lighting. Could you talk a bit about your view on this, or perhaps the theory on this? Thanks! Keep it up!

[@SjoerdWess]

Im not really lighting that way, it seems like this because of the bts angle. For an interview I will never shoot into the bright side of the face. Always into the shadow side.

[@nicoschneeweis6231]

Amazing video! What is the name of the app where you build the lighting setup?

[@SjoerdWess]

Its in Photoshop, but I'd use the tool inside the Sidus Link app from Aputure

[@killderrodrigues6958]

Man, what temperature is set your key light?

[@SjoerdWess]

5500K

[@youknow6607]

I have a smaller space and am really wondering how to do this

[@SjoerdWess]

Go for it! You wont regret it

[@RYOKER]

What's that wireless monitor?

[@SjoerdWess]

Hollyland M1 system

[@ramiziqbal2903]

Hey can you provide links to ikea incandescent bulb. Because it's hard to find

[@SjoerdWess]

The cheapest 2700k bulbs they have. Can't put a link here for some reason...

[@ramiziqbal2903]

@@SjoerdWess okay can you tell if they're led bulb which emit light similar to incandescent bulb or are they exactly incandescent bulb? I mean plz give description of the bulb if you can't provide link

[@plutogalaz]

hello mate :) what was a key light temp. in this setup? cheers

[@SjoerdWess]

5500!🙏🏼

[@plutogalaz]

Sweet!🤙 what about WB settings in your camera? 4300 k?

[@stevenkralovec]

I’m guessing he WB’d to the key light, so probably 5500 K

[@plutogalaz]

@@stevenkralovec thx mate 😁👍

[@Bruno_Kay]

First!

[@SjoerdWess]

Haha, yea buddy. Laatste video dit jaar

[@AnastasiaLetskovnik]

Hi, I sent you an email with a commercial offer, but I'm afraid it got lost in spam. Please let me know how I can get in touch with you. Thank you very much!

[@SjoerdWess]
