    What's your biggest frustration when it comes to lighting?

    • @NatesFilmTutorials
      @NatesFilmTutorials Рік тому

      The biggest thing for me is how to get it where I want, and with the level of softness you want. I also which all lights were RGB and Bi-color. That’d make my life easier.

      Lighting for a group of people. I'm still pretty new to lighting and I'm finding it hard to find good information on what the best practices are for let's say lighting a choir nicely. 99% of guides on youtube are for just lighting one person

    Bonus tip: You can use different materials to get different levels of softness. Unbleached muslin can be found at a fabric store for under $20. You will lose about 2 stops of light using as diffusion but because it’s thick it spreads light different than a shower curtain. (It’ll also warm up your light by 1000K or so which looks nice on skin tones!)
    Also the shower curtains suggestion is awesome! I bought one from the dollar store and have used it for commercial work to get even more softness from a 6x6 scrim.

    I'm just getting started shooting cooking/food but would like to have a more cinematic look than full-on bright operating room look. Do you think I could get by with the Godox SL60 that you linked to, or should I bite the bullet and splurge for the ML30? Love all of your work and really appreciate your input. Thanks!

    • @NigelBarros
