Don McVey and Kieron Jansch compared every LEE Filters Diffusion while lighting the same model with a single M8 HMI. It's an invaluable reference for better understanding the range of diffusion effects available.

Thanks!
One of the most useful videos on cinematography I've ever encountered
"you really have to side-by-side it to see what it's doing"
This should be a feature of the video.
I agree
THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF AWESOME!!! I can not thank you enough for doing this.
Most useful filter video ever! Thanks for making and sharing w/us!
Extraordinarily useful.
Thank you to all that were involved.
This is great; a really wonderful resource! Thank you for putting in the time, and sharing.
Thanks so much, this will really help me out. as a low budget/student filmmaker who can't purchase every filter that's out there this really helps me see what I might want to go for. I was following along with my swatch book!
Thank you for the wonderful effort to putting together all these. . !! 🤗
Great video, thanks for sharing with the community. How large were the diffusions? How far from the light? How close to the talent?
wow 2021 found that this is amazing way to educate your clients , Thanks
Thank you! This was brilliant. Much better than stills, and the commentary was actually quite helpful too! 👍
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Super valuable reference video! Thanks!
Amazing! Thanks so much for this, Don! What a tool.
VERY Useful. Thank you for doing this.
Extremely useful video! Thank you.
Superb. The blog post explains the setup brilliantly and the side-by-side comparison is a great tool. Many, many thanks!
Thank you! This is great and extremelt helpful!
Excellent video 👍🏻
Sorry for all the late replies! Thought comments were disabled on this video!
Got to your webpage and found all the info I've ever wanted ;-) thx for the nice test.
That's the way passionate DPs research... learning from a filter company's webpage 💯 I'm on the same path right now
Thank you for this!
This video is a life saver
So rad!
Very helpful video! I'm sorry about such a random question, but what is the music playing in the background?
thank you!!!!
Brilliant Don
Thank You!!!!!!
Thank you so much :)
So, so, so good. Thanks again man!
Amazing resource but could you also include other skin types? I feel like that would be so helpful.
Great comparison. :)
How large were the sheets of diffusion that you were using, and how far away from the subject were they? Obviously that's going to have an effect on the softness of the light source, but I didn't hear it mentioned, and there's a quite sizeable catchlight in her eye on some shots.
+John Aldred In the description there's a link to my blog, where I explain all this :)
Thank you for putting up this video
How were the filters used? Clipped on the barndoors? What was the distance between subject and lightsource?Thx.
+Koen De Saeger Read my blog post in description. I rarely clip to barn doors. Somewhat pointless as you don't get a bigger source of light - which is instrumental in soft lighting. I also think clipping to barndoors takes out more light as you don't get a large luminous surface.
99% of the time I hang diff from a C-Stand and arm. Slide on the roll, pull it down, crock clip it secure. That way you can roll it back up and re-use!
This video's a tad bit annoying because things aren't shown side by side, despite the speaker saying that's a way to see the difference.
+Mr. McBride Link to side by sides on my blog (in description). Also on the Lee Filters site in diffusion section. Also now a great App in link description! :)
also no light to see those characteristics. shame
Hi Don McCey,
please tell me about light meter and light.
means... i want to know...
if light meter shoes reading 2 lux light means what kv light is there
means...
if i am useing 4k HMI with 216 diffusion plus ND 6(2 stops cut) but light meter shows 2 lux,
so how much kv i am using for the shot?
again i am Asking in Detail...
if i go to location hunting and i found 3.5 lux or 2.8 lux (what ever) light in my meter (with out any light, only natural light)
what is it means, how much kv light is there?
means ... if i need 3.5 lux light, so how much kv light i've to use?
+prasad mhetras Light meters measure in stops of light. I was using a meter in these tests to get a rough idea of how much light is being taken out. But I explain in my blog post on the tests that I wasn't exactly scientific. We had spill on the floor which I allowed as I didn't want her face to be very contrasty.
When I'm deciding how much light I will need for any given situation, I mostly use my experience in the real world and make an educated guess. But things like the Arri photometrics calculator are extremely useful in helping out! Google it and try it yourself!
As for knowing exactly how much extra lux I need to bump up a stop or 2 in light - I really have no idea. I'm sure there are ways to calculate that stuff, but I've never been massively technical :)
I mainly use light meters in the real world to give me lighting ratios or to do location recces.
+Don McVey
Thank you so much...
I'll Google it...
I've subscribed your channel, it is very useful to me...
Thanks again...
You should have tested this with some kind of light and maybe christmas lights in the background, so we could see the effect of the diffusion on lights.
useful
Their size was fixed? The diffusers?
+raykaowo Yes. Check blog post in description.
Nice diffusion comparison but can you do another video using darker skin tones?

This is nice, but that woman is gorgeous.
