i'm not even a filmmaker, i just shoot stills, but your work is sooooo creative and inspiring, and your videos weirdly relaxing as well as informative. thanks so much!!
Industry: Here's a diffusion scrim, it costs $5000
Brandon: Bedsheet
Depending on your hygiene it's more or less """warm""".
@@BorisDessimond lol disgusting
Your channel is proof that when people are not chasing keywords, seo and trends, some really great original content can be made!
Not to mention the value and just pleasing scenes, ah blisss ♥️ thank you
Another great original video idea man, thanks for the inspiration. 🙏🏻
This is great info!
Honestly glad i found your content, and purchased your course. Such Great info. Cannot wait to start putting it to use.
Killed it B!!! I Learn so much with your videos compared to other creators! Plz continue leveling up and share ! ⚡️
Finally someone doing practical tests of a light ! Thanks a lot :)
Super helpful that you're not bringing out a ton of light-o-metres and spending half the video talking tlci-values, but actually showing the light on set. Much appreciated! Ordering a couple right now.
Nice work and presentation Sir. Thank you.
Damn Brandon, it wasn’t enough you hooked me on this light (on top of that I’ve already ordered the 2-light kit of their Pocket Cannon Mini), now I’ve also purchased your course. Looking forward to digging deep into your filming and editing process, I find your work very inspiring. Thanks!
Incredible information as always. Thanks!
This is awesome, super helpful! Trying to figure out how to go about doing this as I live on the 2nd floor!
Never thought of using hard and soft light from the same spot. Very helpful video 👍
I saw a DP do it with a skypanel and an m8 to give wrap + punch. Thought I would try it.
Hello Brandon - thx for the lighting class. Well done! IMHO, color gels can help create scene moods as well. AND sometimes just using a simple $10 low thread count "white" bed sheet can really help diffuse a key light along with maybe bouncing the light off of a cheap white foam board is also a very helpful lighting technique.
These are some gorgeous shots
Thanks Brandon, great video. I really like the way that you break everything down.
Out of interest are you hoping to get into more narrative filmmaking?
Awesome vid, super helpful info!
Love this kind of light review!
Wow ! A lot of possibilities with those lights ! Muy interesado en llegar a ser filmmaker !
Your a beast more people need to know your channel. Gonna share this Asap
Another most excellent video!
I lit a living room in a house to be late in the day but not quite "magic hour" yet, after actual midnight. Yes, it was pitch back out. I had an Aputure 120d outside to light up the 3 front windows (all together) that had the blinds closed on them (lit them up like it was daytime outside) and one Amaran 100d coming through the single side window. Both lights had a 1/2 CTO gel on them to warm the light a little. The light on the side provided the sunlight into the room, with the blinds open and the light high and off to the side a little to keep it out of the shot. Then I had an Amaran P60C bouncing matching color light off the corner of a wall and the ceiling to provide a little complimentary ambient light in the room. Through a doorway you could see into the large kitchen from the living room. I had a 350 watt tungsten light shining through one window (off angle to cut down on the light some) and another 350 watt tungsten light shining at a real shallow angle to the kitchen window that could be seen from the living room. This angle caused the light to light up all the dirt on the window so that it just looked like sunshine on the window, and this kept from seeing that it was actually night time outside. This really sold it. The whole shot looks like a "late daytime" scene and I had total control over the light. You cannot tell it is not natural. I actually prefer to shoot "daytime" scenes like this now as the "sunlight" never moves, changing angles and shadows. This does great for continuity not matter how long the shoot is and how many takes are done, from a number of angles. The 1/2 CTO matched the tungsten lights perfectly.
Another great video. I'm going to spend the day digging into your content especially the one on how to light the car interior. I do have a question. When is the best to use the reflector and when is it best to use the barn doors and when should I use a honeycomb diffusor. A newbie question for sure but I can't seem to find an answer.
very nice peace of equipment
I just want to mention that the Sony HLG 3 profile allows you to easily fake night from daylight shooting with no noise. These are great videos Brandon Li. I am going to look at your list of videos and see if you do Day to Night shooting. I think you have one and will review it now.
Super nice info man, interesting to see the different effects! Now you need to upgrade your travel trolley for sure😜
Haha
Great Stuff As Usual!
Hey Brandon, thanks for this video, do you remember what the ISO/aperture settings were on this one?
This thing is a beast. Seems like the one I need in my life
Good content on how to get by with less on set. I shoot catalog of interiors and room sets and (well not right now) resorts. Catalog is in a black out studio so lots of strobe. One thing I bought which I use sometimes to soften lighting is camo netting. I purchased a white one 6.5 x 10. I allows some of the light to go thru unobstructed thru the camo openings and softens the light with the fabric and it creates an irregular very soft pattern. And I do use fake plastic plants/branches too like you showed.
Camo netting is a great idea for a cookie. You could also blow a fan into it to create a moving shadow.
Awesome video bro! which cam u used for this video?
Awesome video!
Great video mann
thank you, very informative! But you didn't mention, how much was Iso in camera?
Awesome! Cool video. ✌️
Heh Brandon, thanks for the heads up on the Intellytech! Just a quick question, what do you use as a color checker for most your videos? ( X-rite, Datacolor, ect )
I use my eyeballs :-) I’ve thought about using a color checker but I would then need to use a proper color grading suite like Resolve
I have a 60-watt Godox and its also doable as long as the light inside the room is kept low. This 100w seems bright.
always interested watch ur content 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏
Also hope to see you yourself in more and more scenes. The camera loves you.
Wow I didn't know you could do that!
One thing I'm amazed by is how you did all the light setups single handedly...how do you place and test? I need multiple tries to get even a single shot setup right and even then most times I realise my mistakes only in post!
I used a tripod as a “stand-in” for setting framing and exposure. I raised tripod to the exact position of my eyes, then went back to the camera and focused on the tripod head. I still had to do multiple tries, I just edited out the bad takes.
Great video again! :) At 6:26 you're looking like a mini version of yourself next to the giant switch and doors. How tall are you tho? :D
I enjoyed your sharing, I am subscribed and liked your channel

What to say. Very nice job, i like it.
Thanks for this video such content is so helpful woooow
You got the most cinematic videos on youtube
@brandon, how do you line up the bed shots? Aren't the beds bulging a little bit differently because of the way you are sitting?
Thanks for that awesome video! Love your style of videos. Showing what one can do with lighting instead of just talking about specs!!!!
Oooh, sexy! It reminds me of my days playing with lights for dance films and rigging lights in the theatre!
Hey @Brandon Li , do you remember if you used a 1/8 or 1/4 pmist filter with this footage? thanks!!
Nice !
Thanks for this helpful video mate! Does it mean that any other 100W (eg. Amaran 100X/ 100D ) would be enough to create the artifical sunlight as well?
PS: are you from HK?
They would be about the same brightness. A spotlight attachment would give you the most realistic light beam with sharp shadow and no hotspot.
Do you have any feature films online I could watch?
Throwing a freezer bag so close to the light source like in 4:33 is actually pretty ineffective means of "softening the light". The light source in itself is the hotspot on the plastic, which is still far away from, and small in relation to the subject. If you had the freezer bag held up just out of frame, and distanced the light so that it's beam filled the diffusion, that would have met the end goal.
I love the video! I just think its more helpful to talk about the amount of lumens than the amount of electricity the light consumes (watts). Yes its posible to mount a 100w light for day light but not all will perfomance the same brightness to really achieve the look. My english is not so good and i dont want my point to be misunderstood, i think what you do is really smart and at the time artistic but some people could get a wrong concept. Keep uploading videos you are very good at it!
I would love to use lumen count but it’s difficult to find this info for many lights, and it is often reported inaccurately. Users cannot easily verify lumens. Lux ratings are measured at the center of beam and do not account for beam spread. That’s why I used watts..it’s not scientifically accurate, but it at least gives you a rough idea.
Rough estimate is 100 lumens per watt, making this a 10,000 lumen light.
Can you share lens and camera settings? Picture profile?
Brandon, has anyone ever told you that you look like Keanu Reaves? Haha
whoa
He had a cinematic face look 😂
I told him on one of his last videos!
Maybe an epic Cinematic Brandon Li vs John Wick battle for your next video 🙌
I thought that while watching
what do you think of the haze spray?
The one I used leaves an unpleasant moist on things in the house.
I’ve used it several times and have never noticed residue. But I sprayed for less than a minute.
Brandon excellent video. I'm curious which lenses were you using on this video? And I am also curious about your thoughts on the Sony/Zeiss 50mm 1.4 - I'm thinking of pickup up that lens next. Thank you again.
Thanks! I left out the lens info to keep the focus on the lighting. Wider shots were Sony FE 28mm f2, and tighter shots were Sony FE 35mm F1.8 or TTArtisan 50mm f0.95 (at about f1.4).
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Understandable. Thanks for the clarification and great work once again!
The 50mm 1.4 is beautiful and smooth with fast AF - perfect for interviews. It's also heavy as hell, so I won't be using it on travel videos.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Thank you again Brandon, really appreciate it. I'm looking forward to adding it to my kit :)
any idea how well a godox vl150/Aperture 120Dii would fair vs this? Could you use one of those to create this? How far is your light from the windo approx to get that sunlight look?
For the "morning sun" look, that is golden hour. A 500 watt tungsten does an amazing job. That's how I did it. It gives the warmth of golden hour without any fuss. Your set-ups look great, but for morning sun I prefer the golden hour look, and that means 3,200K.
Evry little is enough when there is brandon...
Nice review! The X-100 is a definitely a nice versatile small light, but for less money you can get the 330w Nice Foto HA-3300B which is WAY more powerful which would be much more versatile in those outside the window shots and a much closer competitor to the Arri M-18.
Thanks, I had never heard of nice foto. That light seems a bit brighter than 300dii, which is amazing for the price. Probably not very sturdy for long term use.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted It's also sold under the Genaray brand as the POWERHOUSE. The Film Look does a nice review of it here: ua-cam.com/video/P-id-55KQ4Y/v-deo.html I have the Genaray version (same light) and have no issues with the build quality, although it may not be the best choice for a rental house. But boy does this light have intense power and beautiful color quality for a price that can't be beat!
Could you share your hlg 3 settings?
Do you do anything in camera or post to make the image look soft like most film do in Cinema? Something I run into a lot with cameras like the 7iii and the Canon R is that my image looks so digital.
I put a Black Satin 1 filter on the camera and I added film grain in post. On some shots I used Motionvfx MVolumetric (as shown in the video)
If love to get the blackmist Pro looks yummy, for me, I make sure all the sharpening in camera is remove, if I want it a little bit softer I just add a little in post and add a little bloom to the highlights to make them a little softer, hard to get the balance so it doesn't look too fake but a good work around
My Teacher
Keep it a 💯
I don't click on any video faster than a Brandon Li one!
For LED the rated lux at 1m is a much better way of gauging the light output rather than wattage as this will vary between brands depending on their efficiency.
Manufacturers cheat the Lux rating by designing reflectors with severe hotspots in the center. I used the wattage just to give a general idea of the power draw. This is a non-technical test, for technical breakdowns I recommend Gaffer & Gear
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Ah right that makes sense, that's a shame. Thanks for the technical breakdown recommendation.
Ok kinda of a bait and switch there as a 100watt led is generally not equivalent to a tungsten which is what the misguided wattage comparisons are usually for
Love you
I guess we can acheive same result with apature c300d?
Yes if you get the aputure fresnel
Wah 👌
Hey man,do you think i should go with the a7iii or wait for a7C?
I don’t know much about a7c but it seems overpriced for 8-bit video in 2020
@@BrandonLiUnscripted thank you man,a7iii it is then
plz how many lux in x-100 ?
There's no magic : The Arri M18 outputs 150x the amount of light. The photometric values given by Intellytech are deliberately biased for extremely close lighting (0.5 m, 1m and 2 meters). The M18's stated photometrics are for more realistic 7m, 10m and 15m distance. The number of lumens per watt for HMI has no common measure with LED. The Intellytech is a nice, inexpensive PAR-type lamp, and it'll work when placed right behind the window, outside of the field of view, to simulate early morning or sunset, IF the room and subject are small and close. What you get with the Arri is the ability to simulate a sunny day inside the whole room and with the lamp way off the field of view. But even that is usually not enough - that's the reason gaffers use 4Ks, 6Ks and 12K PARs. Now, if you've used HMI in the past, you'll know how tiresome they are to use : Super hot, buzzy, heavy... Don't we all wish they could be replaced with small LEDs...
Thanks for the detailed info! I've been looking for a way to cheat and get convincing daylight from smaller sources. Any lights or techniques you'd recommend?
I think we have to wait for the 600w+ LED lights coming in the next year for real competition with HMI for daylight-faking entire rooms. Even then, they will be closer to Joker 1600's, not the monster HMI's. The most unsung benefit of that transition will be the ability to go without a generator up to a level matching a M18, but that is still a year away...
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Have you looked at the Stella Pro, their 10,000 light? It's tiny and pretty bright. from LightandMotion.com
@@bobkrist1 I've researched it as much as possible - there's not many reviews. From what I can tell, it seems to be around the output of Aputure 120D. Hard to tell though because of inconsistencies in output tests and lack of real-world footage.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted I've got a 10,000 a 5000, and a 2000...tiny, and bright, but I have nothing to compare them to either. But they are much smaller than the Apertures or anything comparable. They need help in promoting their stuff...I think their price point also puts people off, but you can put the damn things underwater if you want. Not that I would, but I could.
Awesome , what is the difference between it and aputure 120 d
120dii has no cct control (daylight only), no fresnel (can be purchased separately) higher output (180watts 30k lux)

Was hoping to emulate sunlight not for filming but to fight winter depression in a region that's overcast 80% of the year. Unfortunately this doesn't seem feasible for my situation. Granted I'm not the target audience but there is no one making videos about emulating sunlight *for this purpose*.
哎 没有中文字幕
I feel like an m18 and this light are non at all comparable. If you’re going to look for a more accessible alternative to an m18, the 600d or even the new 1200d are going to be the closest to an hmi fixture like that.
never been so early
$600 for a 100 watt light?! Thats pretty expensive.
Sun : am I joke to you
Shadows don't expand in sunlight they loose vividness as the object casting them get closer to the light source. This effect can be emulated using lenses. Don't believe me? Check out DIY perks' video titled "Building an artificial sun that looks incredibly realistic" he explains it better than I can here.

Which light has the same features at the correct price?

Luv the Light, it's features as well as your tests Boss.
However, After researching other comparable lights, Like the SOKANI x60 it's output and Price, i can promise!, ALL the others on & in this market will outsell INTELLYTECH 6 to 1. No? Question.
P.S. if that unit was around $250 to $300, i would purchase 4 of them....it's a great productuon tool.
Thanx again for your review Brandon , Nice work.
Thanks, the Sokani x60 doesn't have color temperature control or built-in fresnel.
