@@RobEllisCinematographer I KNOW RIGHT! i swear if you lived close to cali it would be great have you in a film as a actor, you just pull it off so well. Love your work, i actually going to be filming with my Black Magic Pocket 4K with a green screen so been getting lighting gear, and always interested in getting more to help with the look i want.
Love your channel! I went through a UA-cam cinematography wormhole and landed here. I feel like Dave in '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Amazed by my findings. Your tutorials are extremely helpful and presented in a way that everyone can comprehend. Thanks Rob!
Rob, thank you so much!!! There aren't many channels that focus on lighting and it's a shame. These videos are gold and the fact that they're free is INSAINE!! Keep up the amazing work.
YES! I KNEW IT, brother! *Dario Argento!* He's one of my all-time favorite directors, and _Suspiria_ one of my most favorite films, hehe. I'm looking to experiment more with colors. Your work is just as inspiring for me, even moreso I'd say, given that we as your viewers get firsthand learning from you, which makes it so much easier. Thanks again, Rob! 🙏 Carlos
Great content, mate!!! As soon as you opened up that door with the red background I thought "Suspiria"...and then...Suspiria and I started smiling. Thanks for the videos and please keep them coming. Cheers from Denmark!
This channel is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Been watching for a few months and your videos have really helped our lighting for our shorts. May have to go and buy this now lol.
Super cool videos. And i am in a completely different business. It is super interesting to see behind the scenes, gear and thinking behind lighting. Keep up the good work.
5:34, its incredible, that in 2020, you can achieve the most cinematic look, I have ever seen on UA-cam, eventhough I follow the vast majority of video shooter youtubers. These days you can get a Sigma ART 18-35 and a Blackmagic 2.5k under 2000 dollar if I count it right, and man, if anyone would puts your cinematic shots in the front of me and says this is a Netflix or HBO original, I would belive it.
Rob, what a incredible work! I'm trying to implement some cinematic look to my photograph and this is the best channel I've found. Congrats and tanks for that!
@@RobEllisCinematographer This probably makes me a bad cinephile but I've not watched it yet. But I mean... if the soundtrack isn't by Goblin how can it even be Suspiria? ;)
Another great video man. Apart from your mad lighting skill, its awesome to see how well you know your way around the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 2.5K Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera. You pull such clean and filmic images out of the cameras
Thank you so much man! Haha a video on getting the best image out of those 2 cams is on the cards at the moment, after working with them for a good few years! And thank you for your support! :)
I’m starting to see your channel as a silver lining to this lockdown year. I’m sure that with consistency, your kind of to the point, educational content will gain even more traction along the way. So I’ve decided to sub to keep up. If I may though, do you mind including your lighting gear, rig, and stand etc. in your descriptions? I’ve come to realise that lighting and rigging may actually have a more immediate impact to one’s image than a camera or lens, especially if we’re viewing it through UA-cam’s compression
Haha I love the difference between the shots - I feel like it makes the BTS setup shots feel more "real" and removed from the final thing and gives you a clearer idea of how lighting is artificially making something look more "cinematic"! Thanks man! :)

@@jesusrg yes, but I think it was done in post. You can see the mask border in the left part of the neck :) If he is shooting DNG it has a lot of dynamic range and color info to play in Resolve, so he can make really strong color correction and get the footage to wherever he wants. Great job, @Rob Ellis!
@@RobEllisCinematographer it's a great job! I didn't noticed that until I read this comment and I went back to investigate! 😅 It's completely unnoticeable unless you are looking for it. Keep up the great job!
I noticed the rgb side has worse CRI compared to the white side, when i tried to use the "flickering bulb" effect. Is that an issue with all rgb lights or just with this one. Skin tones looked really pinkish and weird compared to the white LEDs and it's a bit of a bummer.
Hi! Great channel will follow! Can you please explain your favorite lighting equipment is it Godox FV150 + dome\soft + few Godox LC500R Or what? please will be very glad if you reveal, what do you prefer most to make any lightning set Thank you in advance!
If you had to choose between the GVM 800D 3-light setup or 3 LC500R's, which would you choose and why? (Or would you choose a different light entirely?)
FYI that first URL in the description is incomplete - might put some off. I'm heading for the tutorial now ;) Your content is bloody helpful, thank you!
I do a lot of corporate videos, do you have tips on "on the fly" lighting with a 2 APUTURE HR672 lighting setup? Sometimes I don't have any time to setup a spot or scene because it's to fast paced.
I have 2 that I use all the time!! (an 672s and 672w) they are great, small and very good priced nowadays. If you pair them with a super cheap Yongnuo 360 light stick, you can do many things. The only problem is that they might have not enough power if you need fight daylight, but they can help you a lot. If I need power, I just attach the 2 together with a double screw and make them a single source, then add some difussion in front of them (5 in 1 reflectors are great tools for that). You can then use the YN360 for backlight or accent light. Or you can set the reflector to fill the light or as negative fill. When I don't need all the power I then use one as a keylight (they work great with a cheap umbrella) and can use the other as background light or whatever. What I really think is that the orange filter for turning them into tungsten temperature sucks :D so I always use them as daylight temp or attach some good filters if necessary.
Something like an SL200 will give you more flexibility in terms of power and modification (bright output, can compete with window light, easy to use with softboxes, etc). A tube light will give you more flexibility in terms of colour and placement (colour settings, can place in awkward positions more easily, etc). I would recommend both as part of a varied lighting kit!
love the tutorials have learnt so much from them, thank you for sharing. did you happen to come across the godox M1 pocket rgb LED? on paper it seems amazing (especially the output) but was not able to find decent reviews or comparisons to similar pocket lights. thanks!
Hi, I bought one to go along with the LC500Rs. Pretty good - although much the same as the rest of those mini lights like the Pixel G1, Falconeyes F7 - it has the variable speed on effects the same as the LC500Rs, shame it doesn't have any app or remote connectivity though. (apart from the convenience, what's quite useful is that if you're operating from the remote it seems to sync some of the FX which is useful if you want that) I wish there was more customisability on all of them though - the sound to light thing would be good for practical lighting from muzzle flashes if you could dial in the colour. In short, good if you want it to match with the LC500Rs in look for the effects, just a shame about no remote control. Hope that helps!
@@stevegreen9474 helps greatly, it is similarly priced (in the indian market where im located at the moment) as the aputure MC, which seems to be extremely customisable and well reviewed, im just really after the extra output... i need it to mimic a campfire which will be present in a lot of shots in my next project and I am worried neither will be strong enough to counter the blue gelled light i will set up as key light (moonlight motivated) and maybe just go for the LC500R, thanks a lot for your input
@@mindblast5892 you're welcome - I think the problem with a lot of the light effects is that they're not per LED, (bar a couple of the more expensive ones) so the light isn't dancing about just ramping up and down. Ideally you'd probably want 2 or 3 with the animation offset, but obviously that's going to cost more.
@@stevegreen9474 absolutely! you are so right! as i was watching reviews on rgb lights i noticed the specific fire effect is too "smooth" and its dimming up and down instead of a fire dance. would it make sense to get 2-3 smaller ones then? play around with them until i have found a realistic combination? (if i understand correctly, thats what you are suggesting) eg. one on "fire" setting, one on "lightning" but set the colour to mimic fire, and one static or a third effect .. etc. would that make sense ? or would the intervals all blend into a bad efffect? maybe an LC500R on fire and an MC on an effect? for refrence prices here are M1 (100$) MC (110$) and LC500R (170$) and all are affordable to me so what do you think will work best? thanks for sharing knowledge and taking the time!
@@mindblast5892 hard to say, I haven't tried the MCs. The lightning might work at a low level in addition, although you'd have to gel it as it's white rather than a warmer colour like the flame. If you've got someone to operate the light, you'll get a shifting shadow if they can rotate it and move it about a bit too. Maybe also try bouncing it around a bit off some surfaces, or hanging some light diffusion material in front which is blowing around might give it a bit more life. Good luck!
Purely a creative choice, unless you have RGB mixed with a daylight source/sources, and you need to balance for the daylight, then you'd white balance your camera for daylight. Same would go for tungsten :)
That is very dependant on how you want your backdrop lighting to look - I would recommend getting one of each just so you know how each light works/spreads so you can make the right decision for what you need the light for :)
Hey Rob! How does it compare with cheaper RGB sticks, like the yongnuo yn360 v1? Can't find anything regarding the quality of light to compare. The mais thing seems the effects, but the price point is so different that it obviously can`t be just that.

Hi Rob Love your channel! What's the kelvin setting for thge bathroom scne for the two godox?
It was set to a green hue in RGB mode, not sure of the exact degree!
WOW ... Its like JOKER movie output ...
Hey, I am bit confused between getting a Stick light or light like SL200
Something like an SL200 will give you more flexibility in terms of power and modification (bright output, can compete with window light, easy to use with softboxes, etc). A tube light will give you more flexibility in terms of colour and placement (colour settings, can place in awkward positions more easily, etc).

Purely a creative choice, unless you have RGB mixed with a daylight source/sources, and you need to balance for the daylight, then you'd white balance your camera for daylight. Same would go for tungsten :)
HEY ROB THINKING OF BUYING A COUPLE OF RGB LIGHTS WOULD IT BE PERFECT TO GO WITH THIS ONE (LC500R) OR GVM 800D WOULD BE BETTER. FOR BACKDROP LIGHTING.
That is very dependant on how you want your backdrop lighting to look - I would recommend getting one of each just so you know how each light works/spreads so you can make the right decision for what you need the light for :)
With your set up you could easily do the Blade Runner movie with no issue
Hey Rob! How does it compare with cheaper RGB sticks, like the yongnuo yn360 v1? Can't find anything regarding the quality of light to compare. The mais thing seems the effects, but the price point is so different that it obviously can`t be just that.
I'd imagine things like battery life and light output are better on the Godox - I've never used the Yongnuo so I couldn't say for sure!
Do you use C-stands or heavy duty light stands with boom arms?
