On cloudy days I put my 600d on an electronic technocrane outside my house and set it to replicate the movement of the sun throughout the day. It helps cure my depression

last summer I shot a pilot episode. it took place in a workout gym. we shot 8 nights. the only lighting I used was a 600d on a rolling stand with a spotlight, and the MC 12 light kit. It was great. the mc pro 8 light kit is a thing of beauty. includes so many things.

I was Gaffing on a shoot not too long ago and the DP wanted to use a 4K HMI even though I said there was no way we could get it to the location... We were shooting in a cavern on top of a mountain and the production didn't get us any way of carrying the geni and the light. We got on location and we pushed the geni about halfway until we had to cross a river. At this point I said fuck it and got my 600D with my Fresnel and Vmounts in my car and we ended up using it for the whole shoot. I fucking love this light

@BlaineWestropp1

6 ай бұрын

@julienpierb incredible story!! Haha I’m glad it worked out.

Funny that I am currently trying to make my mind of what big light I should get, great video as always! Btw, would you more recommend a daylight light rather than a bi colour one? Like 600D Pro vs 600X, or even Nanlite 720/B? Cheers

@BlaineWestropp1

6 ай бұрын

hey thanks! I think the daylight/bicolor is totally dependent on what type of work you shoot and what type of lighting you need most often. I like the daylight units. powerful, can get a lot of jobs done, can do a lot with daylight units, and when you have something you need to have more options on, you rent. that is how I look at it.

@Sniickerz_CH

6 ай бұрын

@@BlaineWestropp1 Thanks for the quick reply! Well, I am both working as a Director and DP, often on very low budget shoots, some with more resources, so it varies a bunch. The versatility of the bi-colour is great, but the punch of the daylight ones is something very interesting! And gelling a light also reduces quite some power. I might go with the 600D Pro and an Amaran 300C for the versatility!

@BlaineWestropp1

6 ай бұрын

I think thats a smart move. my point in gelling, is that you can get a 600d for the output at daylight, then gel for tungsten. where if you go the bicolor route, you dont have the punch in the daylight. I dont know how the light loss from gel compares exactly to the lower output of the bicolor though. also, you cant go wrong with the bi color either. I am often times not operating with the light at 100%, but it is nice to have.

Great! I like this. How is the reach when you don’t have the fresnel adapter?

@BlaineWestropp1

With and without the reflector has a nice reach. I was outside in the sun and it was lighting an individual person similarly to how a setting sun (but still very much in the sky) was lighting her. Fresnel is a good to have item though!

@BlaineWestropp1

6 ай бұрын

Aputure supplied the lights. that is all. they didn't have a say over this video, nor do I have any benefit to tell you to buy their lights (other than the fact that I use them all the time on all of my shoots, and I have recommended them for years. here are my thoughts. I have not used the nanlite so I cannot comment on it. I have used the 500's. I don't know about the noise on the 720, but the fan noise on the 500 is definitely audible and can be picked up easily by a mic. on the 600d that is not the case in my experience. also.. I have just really fallen in love with sidus link. it is an incredible tool and allows you to operate any aputure or amaran light, make groups, save presets, etc. so that I really like. is the 720 weather proof? couple months ago I was using a 600d in the pouring rain, we covered it but it still got wet. no issues. yesterday I was using it in the snow. no issues. that I like. and lastly.. ive had an aputure 300dii since it came out. I have circled the world with it, banged it around, shipped it, checked it in all sorts of bags where it wasn't protected, and it never had an issue. that I also like. I would analyze the Photometrics and the color metrics of each as well (which I dont know off the top of my head).

I didn't mean to imply your biased cause you might get paid(which honestly would be totally fine in my opinion, the getting paid part) i just didn't know if you are contracted and thereby allowed to give an opinion at all(: I do agree and also prefer the 600ds. sidus link is amazing The Forza 720Bs have a higher output but no water resistant housing. One plus for the Forza 500s is that you can adjust grenn/magenta. Fan noise is worse definetely.

I have 2 Forza 500s I use them all the time. my choice units are the aputure and that has been the case since I got the 300d. even down to little things like the yoke.. the yoke on the 600d is how a yoke is supposed to be. when you loosen it the light doesn't move. it doesn't fall forward or back. it stays where it is, you move it, then tighten. the ballast snaps onto a stand, my Forza ballast hangs onto it with a strap. I am not saying dont buy a Forza, I mean I bought 2! I just like the overall experience with the aputure units more.

600d vs 600x vs 600c ? 🧐

tough question. I typically go for the daylights for the power, you can always gel them. all depends how much and often you need color, or how much you need tungsten.

6 ай бұрын

at 5600k, and 1 meter: 600d pro: 22150 lux 600x pro: 16060 lux 600c pro: 16450 lux so the 600d pro is about 38% brighter than the other two, which aint bad at all for the other 2. Since the other 2 operate at a similar intensity at 5600, I would be fine with either one. I still lean towards the 600d pro without a doubt. it is nice to have the power, and then you make arrangements for when you need color. there is no right or wrong answer, only preference.
