  Could I be so bold as to advise the addition of a new adaptor , that could be connected to directors that are full of hot air ? They will be deflated and saves work for crew , whats not to love ?

  no question, and Martin mentions the 1st gen prototype was in a scoop shape, even more like a zip. I think the significant difference here is the hard light option & with the multiple possibilities on the inlay surface in combo with front diff etc.

  I like the inflatables as an idea but I struggle to imagine doing it graciously on set if you know what I mean. No matter how useful it may be it has the appearance of a blow-up pool toy sorta thing

  Well all i can say is it's active on Mission Impossible 8, Gaffer Uwe Greiner, ICLS has use it on his show Nine Perfect Strangers, gaffer Bert Reyskens, ICLS has several on a french feature in the EU etc etc, so like most DOP Choice products it's working on top shows and it's only just started shipping... as Luke points out, this was def the year of inflatable products in general at Cine Gear and NAB... the real test will be the quality(s) of light and speed of application. It's certainly not for everything as Martin points out but it does (re)introduce a new and unique book light quality to a soft box which we've not previously had w/o creating a jungle of gear. I'm looking forward to testing it out on set in the coming months...

  You make a great point and the more gaffers use it the less it will be seen as “clunky” application wise - had a couple bosses use inflatable tubes and apart from losing air over time have been successful. For small van operators the inflatable should offer more much needed real estate for other gear storage.

  Can you double up diffusion on the pop-up? Or is there not enough velcro?

• 
  @GaffersSalonАй бұрын

  The pop up diffuser as it ships is a sewn in diffusion, I cut mine out and added Velcro. You could clip on added diff to oem version or if you add Velcro like i did you could use 1 inch Velcro around perimeter so you could use multiple layers of diff.

  my suggestion is to get the little demo 4x4 swatch book for opti sculpt - this is like $10 and has all 11 flavors. you can then test it on say a 150 dedo or a nanlite 60C w/ projection etc to get a feel for what each one does. Or if you spend $60 you can get the 7.5 x 7.5 inch test kit.

  What V mount battery would you recommend for powering this light. I was thinking about small rig but not sure what voltage.. thank you !

• 
  @GaffersSalon2 ай бұрын

  I use 26v from nanlite but any decent one will do either 14.4 or 26v these are duel voltage. However with 14v you are limited to 50% output… remember it’s a 200w light and draws even more - if I recall it’s actual max draw is around 240w, so you prob want a battery that’s higher watt hours like in the 250wh range…

  @@JeffGrahamPhotography”Not really an issue. There are a couple of ways the subject can use to adjust/get comfortable with the brightness of the source. Have them close their eyes, then with closed eyes fully face straight into the source. Have them count to 10, then turn away from the source back to camera and open their eyes. That usually does the trick. Sometimes starting on a lower dimmer setting and during the first minute gradually bring it up to speed avoids the previous.”

  Inspirational Interview. Great look. Did he supervise the color grading? At 25 min in he says that he set the camera at 4400k and from what I understand the key was set at 5500k with 1/2 cto? Is that correct? Also why is the show runner making aesthetic decisions? Shouldn’t that be the director’s decision? I need to work with that show runner!

  @@GaffersSalon Well that's praise! 👍 85% is great! So that's about a stop, or maybe less, once spread out. You gave enough info for me to order a pack of 10⁰ (which gives quite a drastic effect - a 5⁰ would have been nice) and a swatch of samples. As you say, this is designed for theatre but it has a lot of potential uses for us. One for me is to put it on an on-camera light I have that's currently a little hot in the middle. Great channel you have. Always interesting to hear pros showing off their little secrets, and it's great how social media now enables this. I'm from the UK, so I'd never heard of NY, Las Vegas, or Chicago orientated apple boxes! Made me laugh. Nor a few other things. I'm most struck by how much lighting has changed since I started out in the 80s. All the best! 🙂

  I wasn’t on this shoot… but off axis I’ve only had problems with a few older folks… it does happen but there are techniques to get them used to it, once in a blue moon some folks can’t handle it… but for me it’s been very rare that we couldn’t make it work. In those cases we sometimes go more sidey and bring in appropriate amount of fill and that usually solves it, but can deviate from the desired modeling or look… but often on docs we get someone who demands to be lit in a more flattering way (to them).

  Such an amazing video! I love what he said about once the subject sits in front of the camera, it becomes "their space" and not intruding w/ technical adjustments. I have one question re: that statement though. When you're setting up your shot & lights with your sit-in subject prior to talent arriving...what sort of adjustments DO you allow for when the interview subject arrives and sits down? Is slight re-Framing to compensate for height differences on the table or do you plan for that ahead of time?
