    Great video. One tip... Place the frame in a horizontal position on the C-Stands FIRST. Next unfold the diffusion panel until it's half folded. use these points to attach to center frame on either side (near lollipop grip). Now not only can you attach the rest of the bungee cords WHILE STANDING UP. You also prevent your diffuser from getting dirty. Grass stains sure to come this way. #FunFact: Do the entire process in reverse to put diffuser back in the bag. It will last 4x longer. Or some other arbitrary number.
    P.S. i've tried the method and you can literally setup and teardown by yourself faster than with two people. #FACTS
    Keep pumping out great content! And Thanks for stopping by.

      @@tenochaztecatl8923 put the frame on the two stands HORIZONTAL. Then start tying onto from middle. Since standa are around 5ft high minimum if you fold a 10'x10' in half it will be 5 ft. Then attach middle points to either side of the frame. Now you have a frame with a fabric attached at 2 points hanging down without touching ground. Frame is horizontal (not vertical) so you don't need a ladder. Hope this helps!

      +Film Riot Hey so at the end of the day diffusion is just the softening of light and we bring the frame or diffusion object we are using closer to the subject to soften light and diffusion is not always necessary as in some scenes we may want too have a silhouette but other than that its good to use nearly all the time

    @hawksoob 9 років тому +3

    If you cut the pvc's in half and join them with a coupler, you can run a piece of bungee through the whole perimeter of the frame. That way you can break the whole thing down into a more portable package without worrying about all the parts getting separated and spending the time to hook them all back together. When you lay out the pieces, the bungee will make everything sort of pop into place, then all you have to do is stick the ends together.

    Maybe a tip if you want to add more stability to the DIY version, insert wooden poles into PVC poles (make sure to match the outer size of the wood to the inner size of the PVC so it fits). Get some screws and screws them in place so they dont fall out. i did this for a DIY dollytrack (which i made out of PVC those wooden poles) i made and it worked great since they dont flex as much as without the wood.

    • @scottslotterbeck3796
      @scottslotterbeck3796 6 років тому

      Ryan et al could have actually shown us how to attach it, eh? Or even HAVE SOME LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION! I've seen diffusion screens on set, and they are commercial expensive ones. I think like the $600 one, they use special clamps etc. I also think it would be great to have it overhead, and tiltable. Def know you MUST have one or two grips along each side of the diffusion screen, BECAUSE THESE ARE THE SAME PRINCIPLE that sailboats use to propel their boats! These cannot be used if there is any significant wind.

  • @TaylorTheDeveloper

    Awesome Scavenger hunt Guys! Thanks for putting this on! Congratulations to whoever won, I know I came in way behind anyone else. Once you figure the clues out, you feel really dumb. :-)
