Many over simplify what's involved to achieve the outcome they are happy with, especially those not regularly involved in major productions. We do have a range of great gear options and some of it is more affordable, but the planning, creativity, knowledge and hard work is still key.
Thanks so much for sharing Luke. I always chuckle at how a 'simple' backdrop can turn into such a massive setup very quickly!
Poor Scott (talent stand-in). His 15 minutes of fame was blanketed in verbal silence after giving a nod that he was ready for his 15 minutes. Thanks for catching light Scott. Good job. Thank you Luke for these awesome videos. I appreciate the shot of the monitor especially because seeing what those cameras see is very different from what a behind the scenes camera sees. It’s helpful to see the lighting setup followed by monitor results. Thank you to camera operator for behind the scenes footage. Now if I could just find me one of those sweet Dallas Reunion Tower / gameshow host microphones then I’ll be ready for any lighting situation. 😊👍
These videos are so helpful love the breakdowns on how you light things and the rigging. Love the Chanel!
I missed your channel - good to see you
Luke, these BTS videos are very entertaining/informative. It's nice seeing how you're overcoming obstacles.
Thanks for sharing! Bi-colors are sooooo useful. I think now that we finally have affordable and powerful bicolor and rgb fixtures I am seeing so much more interesting use of color temp on commercials/tv and films I am watching and I love it.
I was gaffing a commercial yesterday, and we had to cool some under the counter LED lights in a kitchen. The 20 something grip didn't know what a ½ blue or a full blue gel was. He said the lighter one or the darker one. He started in this business with bi-color lights!
As always, very informative Luke. I love seeing the magic behind the curtain with all the new lighting technology. Nice work!
What a lot of people don't talk about is how much easier warmer tungsten light is on the eyes!
Interrsting thx. So much versatility!
Hi Luke, I've been getting into the Apature world more recently as well. 300X 60X and NOVA 600 Panels, with all the soft boxes and domes and fresnels. Just added 600c with 150 dome and F10 fresnel, as well as MTPRO tubes and MC'S. We've been lighting small studio sets with just Apature on Sidus Link and bigger jobs with added S60 Skypanels and HMI'S. Still using small tungsten units with dimmers as it fast and still a beautiful light.
Angle of incident equals angle of reflection. By sliding that 12x12 far upstage that should have helped the glare onto the wall. Just guessing what angle normal is by looking at this video-it def would have required to be far upstage.
"Simple shot" the director claimed on the scout. "She's in the garage and gets stabbed by the bad guy." Shoot day comes. First AD: "The director was fired and now this new kid is the director." New kid director: "Let's have the bad guy open the garage door." Me (gaffer): "Nope."
In the olden days... before RGBWW and RGBACL, what was the easiest way to gel medium to large softboxes? Gels usually aren't wide enough(around 24") to clip on the front diffusion. Gel tape them together to make them larger? Gaff tape the gel on the inside?
Maybe a specular fixture bounced is still too specular compared to a larger natively diffuse panel on axis through secondary diffusion frame, Skypanels seem to have really diffuse output even without the diffusion panel,
Love the microphone!
Versatili-key!
(Cameraman wondering why he was needed in shot)
Would a polarizer have helped to get that last bit off?
