Comparing Video Lights with SSI (Sekonic C800)

Фильм және анимация

SSI is a great metric to use when comparing two different light sources. We'll also dive into why the color rendering index (CRI) and TLCI aren't as accurate as you might think. I'm currently using the Sekonic C800 to evaluate the color of my lighting.
NAB just announced the cancellation of this year's show due to coronavirus. Super bummed. Stay safe out there!

    Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few months :)

    I am just starting into KZread videos and also have a small room. Can I use full spectrum plants lights/bulbs or even the true white light strips by Philips Hue? I am trying hard to avoid things taking up floor or desk space. I also have a German Shepherd and like minimalism.

    Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge on colour rendition. (One day I'd love to pick your brain) But anywho, I just found that the C700 doesn't have SSI, hopefully there will be more tools to be able to measure this since the C800 is a very expensive (yet worth it) tool. I might opt for one next year once production gives me back some cash flow. ... silly Covid. Anywho. Thanks again for all of your shared knowledge.

    I have a questions. We use an FS7 with the 18-110 zoom. Things can look really good sometimes but a common problem is that in the shadows I get a lot of grain. How do you get rids of this grain? I heard you have to over expose than reduce in post, is that true? I'm on the point of selling it and going canon, but I know I'm not using this camera to its full potential at all.

    In CineEI, you can rate the camera at 1000 EI which will clean up the shadows drastically. If you're on the latest firmware, there's an option to bake in the EI rating so whatever exposure index you shoot with will be reflected in post.

    What’s the difference between c800 and c7000. Can c800 measure ambient light settings so I can set shutter speed and aperture or does it only measure color temp? I think the c7000 has additional benefit of being able to read ambient like cheaper light meters. Can’t tell if c800 can do this too.

    Both give foot candles and lux readings. It won’t calculate shutter speed or aperture.
