A Short Toy Photography Documentary
In winter of 202, as part of a documentary class at Southern Oregon University, I was asked to make a documentary showing the process of any given process. I chose to show what goes behind some of the edited images I like to create, and part of the reason why I make them. I thought I'd share the project, instead of letting it collect digital dust on my computer.

    It's funny to me how some people seem to think using gels somehow "adds color" when it's really doing the opposite. A bright red gel is not red in the way we perceive it, in fact it's every other color BUT red. It absorbed the other colors for the most part, leaving the red photons the ability to pass through or be reflected if it's opaque enough. Shine a bright blue light at the red gel and almost none of it will get through. I've seen people try to stack a red and a blue gel on top of each other, thinking purple will come out the other side, 😆and instead essentially no light passes through. I've tried to use low CRI light as key light before in my younger days, and kept realizing that if there's not enough red light in your white light source, that their skin looks extremely sickly and washed out. If you're forced to use something like that, I'd suggest getting a small throwy RGB to add in a little red ,or whatever color is lacking, and all of a sudden they look like they have blood flowing through their veins again. ha

      Yeah grids are really only expensive when they’re for the pricy softboxes. The down side is that these don’t fold that well, but the upside is that they’re crazy cheap and can be custom made for any size softbox.

      That’s a bummer. Some folks have made grids out of card stock, which might be a bit lighter. Also, I’ve found that adding bagged weights, such as ankle weights (which I have found at thrift stores) to the base of your light stand helps keep the whole thing more stable.

    I love the idea but wouldn't it stick to your softbox when you want it off? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to save money but I think that it will be troublesome to take it off if it starts to stick.

    • @nathanaellathrop5799
      @nathanaellathrop5799 3 роки тому

      So far in the years I’ve had it, it has never stuck. If you do a really clean job of taping, and run a thin strip around the whole grid, it’s very stick free.

      Since I don’t have enough footage for a behind the scenes video, I’ll just explain the lighting for the lab scene. I had a can light with a gel shooting through the window, and a 55w fresnel with a red gel dimly lighting me and the set from the side. There was a small panel light under the basin on the table, along with two RGB light strips running along the table, one green and one white. The fluids in the containers were all color dyed water, which added a bit more color to the scene. I also had three small candles on the table as well.
