that honeycomb grid made a massive improvement on the image.

my honeycomb didn't do that to my image, I'm like what camera and lens combo does he use, that it handles and intakes the light totally dif than my GH5/godox w/ softbox & honeycomb grid... It frustrates me to no end 4 years later I still can't seem to pull off the cinematic look, or even just a half professional look.

sometimes we tend to overthink things, start by keeping it simple and then add more dynamic lighting as needed to amplify the scene or emotion you want to evoke.

Great video. What is the advantage of using the fill light with the key light if you are looking for the flat beauty diffused kind of lighting? I saw your other video using just one light for the flat diffused lighting look. Also which LED panel light are you using for your fill light? I do not see that in your list of equipment used. Do you miss not having bi color lighting control with the Aperture 120D light?
Yeah, I need this. Thank you.

I really liked the content, but I'll give my two cents about the format. The editing could be a little more to the point and you could show us the before/after more times and for longer. The payoff of seeing the light finished flies by too fast. We spend 5 minutes seeing the light being built, then see the finished light for two seconds. Without proper before/after to see the difference. Thank you for the video, my comment is in good faith and I wish you all the success.

Great video, really stimulating! Just a note, for negative fill it’s meant the use of a black flag to block bouncing lights, if you close the window you still have white materials bouncing light and filling shadows. I know you did use a black flag, I’m just making a point about the term in relation to the closed window. Subbed, I’m very curious to see what’s coming next!
