Yes I know. Sometimes I do not do post videos, but for this one I think I did a speed retouch

Another way to make inexpensive diffusion frames is to go to a store that sells picture frames and ask if they stock canvas stretchers. Here in Atlanta, the stretchers are made of pre-cut wood in popular sizes, two per package. You purchase the sizes you want then assemble and glue the pieces together. Once dried, attach the diffusion material. The nice thing about these being wood is you can paint them black, white, or whatever color you would like. Also, being wood, you can attach screws, nails, hooks, etc. to use to suspend or support the diffuser. For a slightly higher cost, ask about metal picture frame pieces that you assemble. These pieces screw together. Again, you buy pairs of two in order to assemble the finished size that you would like. The resulting diffusion frame will probably last longer than the above wood one and being metal, you can clamp it tightly to attach to devices such as a boom arm.

Thank you for this and other lovely tutorials. :) It would be great is you can mention the gear used in each video as description (I'm aware that the complete gear list is added but a lot of people will be looking for the specific equipment used for a particular video). Also, aligning to your thought process of giving to the masses, I would suggest and request to use lesser gear (or lesser priced gear) for the videos if that is suitable. Profoto gear is expensive and it will not be affordable to a lot of users and hence this request to shoot with lesser/cheaper gear. ~Cheers. Kumar (India)

@botvidsson

Thanks for the tip! People need to realise that the equipment doesn't matter. Any brand will do when you just starting out. I often just use 1 or 2 flashes, the Profotos are expensive but you will get the job done with any flashes.

Just ran across this video and have a question - it appears you are using a D2 on top, I cannot see what light is on the right side but it looks like a D1 on the left side. I have trouble mixing my D1's with the D2's as the D1 is considerably warmer and I can see that a mile away when using a neutral background like white or gray as you are. Are you using a -300 or -600 front glass on the D2 or why am I not seeing a large color difference between the D2 on the background paper vs the snooted D1 that's also hitting the scene from the other side? Just curious as this color difference drives me insane in setups where I need another light and have to bring a D1 into the mix with my D2's

@botvidsson

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's 2 D2's and 1 D1, have not noticed any huge color shift in-between them... well, if I use the D2's in freeze mode, they are crazy cold/blue.

@robertboyer5926

4 жыл бұрын

@@botvidsson thank you for the reply. I do not have a colorimeter but I'll try to take a few demonstration shots with D2 and D1 to illustrate this (I have 3 D2's and 3 D1's and they seem to all behave the same way - NOT in freeze mode). If memory serves the D1's seem to hover around 5700-5800 (number via WB target in Capture One not actual measurement) and somewhere north of 6400 on D2's. My suspicion is that it's the fact that the D1's get a lot warmer as the power level gets lower vs less variance on the D2's and the opposite effect.
