  From what I see of the review it's the best unit out there. I have the Ambitful AL-16 which has a better system for adjusting the gobos as well as control of the lens and filters. Another point is the heat that is generated by these units. The Wellmaking lacks any vents to help dissipate the heat whereas the Ambitful does have vents. Perhaps you should compare the two optical snoots sometime.

  Thanks for the tip about the Ambitful! Luckily, with my lights this unit didn't create too much heat, although some vents would probably be a nice addition - as long as they don't cause light leaks. If I get the opportunity to compare the two, that would be interesting!

  3 other thoughts I want to add that I thought of while filming extra examples: -I do have one that sometimes has a very slightly warmer tone than the other lamps, however it was not enough of a minute difference for me to return it/have it be a noticeable issue. LED temperatures sometimes affect the color. The others all seem to match each other, but as I said in the video I don't have a color meter to be 100% sure about color variance. -The bowens mount is tight, which can make getting accessories on slightly slower, but I prefer the mount to be snug rather than loose. Using the 2x fresnel on the V2 feels better than on the V1. -This lamp paired with the Aputure 2x Frensel in particular is a really versatile and powerful setup, especially for the price! Let me know if you have any questions!

  It's possible you've mentioned this before, but where does one get a fake head to use as a stand-in? How durable is it? Does it collapse for easy storage, or is that going to add another full box to my kit?

• 
  @TrentonHoshikoCinematography2 ай бұрын

  I got the two I have off of amazon a few years back. Wig stores and hair cutting training places/stores will sell them too. I am careful with them so they don't get scuffed, the material is a soft-ish plastic, but they have definitely taken tumbles before and have been fine, but I wouldn't just throw them around if you care about scuffs, etc. These do not collapse/inflate, so it would take up space, however, when paired with a light stand to adjust height the ease of getting a stand-in for lighting and focus is so useful/quick. My only problem with them is that the skin tones can look a bit off on camera sometimes, I *think* that might be a product of them using color pigments to color them and they just simply reflect light differently than skin, color wise. Otherwise, lighting with them as stand-ins works as you'd expect.

  Hi, what are some of the uses for the skirt that comes with this lantern, I have it but not sure how to use it. Great video, thankyou

• 
  @TrentonHoshikoCinematography2 ай бұрын

  Now that you mention it, that might be a good topic for a video! :) Skirts are like multi dimensional flags/walls of a softbox (without the reflective material though). They are used to direct/cut the light to control where it falls. A good classic example of this is having a dinner table scene where you want top down light to fall on the table/actors but not to reach the set walls. The skirt limits where the light can go an constrains it to the table. You adjust the circle of light by raising or lowering the lamp/lantern. A skirt is, mostly, best used when the lamp is boomed overhead so that skirt edge can be parallel to the ground, otherwise it can twist and that changes the shape/opening size some. The some information is applicable to pretty much any skirt for overheads, space lights, etc. Here are a couple of pics that show skirts in use to control the lighting direction/spill: www.pinterest.com/pin/17170042322385088/ www.pinterest.com/pin/209698926392512807/ Hope that helps! :)

• 
  @esteva032 ай бұрын

  This is the first video I've seen where the shadows change with distance. I thought that distance meant diffusion and gave soft shadows, and close light was more "straight" and gave hard shadows; but it's the other way around. In my experience I've tried to make hard shadows with small single powerful light sources. Is distance a better solution? Thanks for the content!

• 
  @TrentonHoshikoCinematography2 ай бұрын

  So glad you liked it, I really appreciate your kind words, they made my day! I totally understand why you thought about it that way before, glad my examples helped clarify some. To try and answer your question, there are a few different factors that all more or less adjust the shadows: relative size, distance, and diffusion material to scatter the light/tools to make the light harder. So it isn't exactly a one-size answer. Distance is a REALLY powerful factor here, but it comes at a consequence of exposure. So to reduce the exposure drop you can also use a smaller source so that when moved further away you can get hard shadows while minimizing exposure loss. So I kind of like a middle approach myself, but generally I think that it is important to consider the distance in particular because it is usually a lot easier to move your lamp back rather than get a smaller source if you want your shadows to be a bit harder. The easy to remember example for hard vs soft shadows is the sun itself! The sun is HUGE, but VERY far away, so the relative size is like holding a small coin at an arm's length. On a cloudless day, the sun would create hard shadows on the ground. On a cloudy day, the cloud catches the light and scatters it, but also is much bigger relative to pretty much any subject on earth (like a person). If it is a small cloud the shadows will be less soft, if it is an entirely overcast sky there could be no shadows at all. Of course, in this example, it is a combination of effects from the relative size and the scattering of the light via diffusion material (the cloud). Hope that all helps, I will probably make some more videos on this subject because it is very important! :)

  i have some of these but i must be doing something wrong. When i put them in my c-stand trying to block overhead lights, they just rotate down. I cant tighten the c-stand enough to keep them held up sideways. Does it take a special type of knuckle to grip them correctly?

• 
  @TrentonHoshikoCinematography3 ай бұрын

  I don't have that issue when they are clamped properly, but I do have 2 thoughts that could help: 1. For your knuckle, does it have multiple sizes of attachment holes? What I use mine on in this video is an impact c-stand/gobo arm and the knuckle has the large size for babypin type accessories, but there is also a smaller diameter hole that is perpendicular to the large one. That hole is what I use for these flags; you do have to tighten it down a lot though. My fast flags also have a small rectangular support bracket (not sure if it has a name) right next to the attachment point and that and be positioned inside of the grip head's largest channel, which seems to prevent rotation left and right. 2. The other aspect that might help here is making sure the weight of the accessory/arm is going "forward" and rotating tighter rather than looser. If you stand with the grip head in front of you (handle towards your chest, where if you turned it to the right it would tighten), the hole that is on the top left of the head is ideal for the accessory to be placed in with the length/weight towards the right. This way, the weight tightens it, rather than loosening it (if it was long/weight wise towards the left). This is a big safety thing that I see overlooked in c-stand lessons sometimes. If that doesn't help, let me know and I will try and think of some other ideas! Thanks for working to make sure it is all safe! :)

  We store our film gear in our house, so space is a premium. That being said, we don't yet have a use for something like this. I use blackfoil if I need to shape the light at the source, gels to diffuse, and distance or reflection off of walls, ceilings, or one of the rolling mirrors our filming space has to attenuate light. Then again, our lights are a combination of DMX-controlled PARs and a pair of GVM panels, but the bulk of the lux we can throw on a scene are cheap BLE-controlled landscape lights with dimmers that absolutely do not work for video. We have to get pretty creative with how we light a scene.

  Hi Sam! I don't have the same lamp/lantern (I think mine is actually a bit smaller than the cs-85 as well at 3.3ft vs 2.2ft), but I do find that the Aputurre 2.2 lantern can be front heavy on the GVM p80s, especially when the stand is extended more. It isn't as noticeable as the Aperture Fresnel, for example, but is something I am careful with. I generally leave a little overlap in each section of the light stand, use an extra sandbag, and make sure the weight is over one of the legs to help reduce tipping risk. I imagine with the larger size of the Cs-85 that the front heaviness is even more pronounced though. I hope that helps answer your question, let me know if you have any other questions! :)
