You guys did a KILLER job with this video J and the extensive explanation was so awesome to see. The vibe seems so inviting. I need to move to Rockford!
20:30 I would love to see you do a side by side comparison of the old reflectors and the new reflectors to see how much fringing happens around the edge of the beam with the old reflectors. Do you think you'll paint or mark the new reflectors in some way to differentiate them from the old reflectors for yourself and your crew when working with both the 1200d and the 1000c?
I didn't immediately notice any fringing from using the 1200's reflectors, but the beam angle was definitely different and I think it lost some intensity. They do have different product numbers on the barrel, but marking them might be a good idea to differentiate at a glance
Great Review! If I could pick your mind a little bit, I am in the market for either the 1200x or this 1000c as my next big light purchase if you had to one or the other which one?
@@729Isaac I hear ya man, it’s a tough choice. Neither would be a bad option. Biggest question is if you think the raw power or color flexibility will be more important for you. 1200x is going to give you 60-70% more output.
Depends on what kind of stuff you shoot and light for mostly. If it's just skintones and faces then the 1200x. If it's music videos, branded commercials, and stuff that tends to get more psychedelic, colorful, or creative, then the 1000c.
Great video! Although I think the low contrast on the main camera makes it really hard to judge. I feel like you should use a less artistic and more technical transform „standard 709“ look for that so we can judge better. Ideally alexa with standard arri lut or aces.
@ Gotcha. Most of this is actually at a pretty straight rec 709. At 10:20 it's the haze milking out the blacks. However, at 8:39 and those shots leading up to it - it was an under-exposure issue. Maybe you'd like to come in and DP the next one for us so this doesn't happen again? 😉 It was ND or aperture thing, there was plenty of light in the scene as you can see from the B cam. Seeing how we're talking more about how the light is hitting and being shaped, rather than how to be a DP - we thought it was more important to raise the exposure to see what was going on.
@ yeah, I agree. But in all honesty, this really is unfortunate as I wanna see how the light falls off not how the sensor is hitting the noise floor. This stuff happens, just wanted to point it out since you’re going through the effort to make these and I think doing this aspect right might improve how useful it is to ppl.

@@NickHillMakesMusic I would not be opposed to that 😉
Excellent review! That sodium vapor match was awesome!
Keep up the great work. This channel’s gonna pop soon!
Thanks for the vote of confidence sir
Great job boys

Killing it man!
Damn. Great video, cool demo and great review
Next episode need to monkey a combo stand ❤

@@simonrabeder1599 thanks for the note. Are you talking about our mock frame? Or the main review set up with the yellow background?
@ like at 10:20. those blacks are raised like I dunno what.
And I wanna add, it’s not great.

what´s the white balance on camera?
@@of1300 for the mock shoot portion I believe it was at 4000. For the review section it was at 5600.
@ good stuff. Thanks!
24.98 fps?
@@blahblahblah2243 ha ha! Good catch. How do you know this guy is a gaffer 😆
