Do you prefer using FOG or HAZE?
I prefer haze.
Would love to see a video about the extra little things that can be done to lights such as skirting a light. I believe Justin mentioned, "diapered it off" stuff like that and how they effect the light!
Fog. Because i can make haze with fog
Haze is better but not in every situation.
Aputure I love the haze effect - The Handmaid’s Tale has really been showing the beauty of that effect. I only have a fog machine so I appreciate your tip about how to make haze with it!!
Haze for sure. I love the separate of space it gives you
This is amazing, I hate it when smug people say "I prefer doing it with natural light" when really there's really not much talent in doing it that way
So for low budget guys, get a fog machine, and waft it out to get similar to haze
be very careful with this, you often waste so much time trying to achieve this. Hazers are worth the expense.
@@chonk2740 All my life thinking about it, never hear about hazers until now...
So I need an hazer for my daily basis
A tip that i got, that might help someone else out is if you have a cheap smoke machine but wsnt haze, mix your smoke liquid with 10-50% distilled water and put a fan in front of the machine (helps to break it up, and a lot of haze machines have a fan at the end).
Used this a lot in a pinch and works great
Thought I came here for haze effects but ended getting a jewel dropped on me about lighting from scratch! Aputure out here giving us the equipment & the techniques lol they really don’t get enough credit!
You should do a video on the overuse of haze in movies. I just watched "Mary Poppins Returns" and every scene, indoors and outside, has some sort of haze. It's one of my pet peeves especially when it is not needed or overdone.
Please do a video on using different filters (correction, diffusion, etc.) and maybe the order in which to stack filters. Also, I'm all haze all daze.
I prefer haze for the Romance scenes but for Dramatic scenes I think fog is more good.

Easy. Haze is sexy, fog is creepy! 😂, good topic Aputure! #Hazevsfog
Really enjoyed the video! I'd really like to see a video about lighting forests at night and how to achieve that epic horror movie look! I'm sure you could also use some fog.
Great video.Would love to see a video on how you will light for an exterior night scene to an indoor scene in one take. Following the talent as they move either from outside to inside or indoor to outside.
Haze for dayz. A bit less heavy handed, and easier to control. Great info! ♥🎥
Nerris is killing the game! Yaaaas! A-Team WOOOT WOOOT!
not sure if you've already done this video. but a great quick video would just be using different lenses at different distances and angles showings us the differences between wide and long lenses. like using a long lens from far away over the shoulder makes us feel like were spying and the difference of that shot vs a wide lens close up.
straight to the point and provides great differences and uses, i love this
Good job guys! Clear & helping ☺️
Love it! Always learn something new on this channels, used your single light tips to film my latest short!
You guys should do a cheap cinematic lighting set up for us budget filmmakers.
I'd love to see a video on building the most practical/versatile lighting rig for indy filmmakers/beginners. There are so many voices online saying so many different things, it'd be super helpful to have a clear guide. Something that details the right tools for the right job.
This video was awesome guys! Come back to the clubhouse and we will film some more!
Would love to see a video about balancing mixed lighting temperatures and the motivations between keeping white white on the subject and forming the wash of color
agh justin's set-ups are always so great
Would love to see examples of lighting scenes to have a low light look while still using lots of light for sensors that don't do well in low light.
I'd love to see a video about how to use rgb and colors/gels in your lighting to achieve different looks, moods, and create different atmospheres.
Thanks!
I'm deffo a huge fan of haze... I would love to figure out how the hollywood folks Haze outdoor locations... But in general I Think the terms Haze and Fog get mixed up quite a lot, so this video was great! Next time a Director asks why we need haze I can point them to this! Thanks guys!
Really like these lighting tutorials. Please do an episode solely on lighting modifiers such as the different diffusion materials, flags, grids etc. It would be nice to know what the range of choices are.
ok wow. to the point video. Thanks a ton. a big shout out from mumbai/India
Here because I’m using the haze machine for my school’s musical
I prefer haze for most situations. My question is, what are some cheaper ways to create haze for your shoot?
Check out "atmosphere aerosol" or "haze in a can online"! They have pretty cheap options under $15.
A cheap and practical method is over cooking bacon. Not only does this achieve a beautiful haze, but you can feed your crew with it!
Make sure to turn off smoke alarms.
Hee Hee
Thanks!!
Plus the "waste" from this isnt an empty can of atmosphere or plastic bottle of fog thingy, it's fucking bacon. And bacon grease. The math checks out, congratulations
* *hands giant check while posing for handshake picture* *
Haze is the secret sauce to great morning shots.
I would like to see a video on the quickest way to set up lighting and cameras to film a dialogue scene with either one or two cameras
I would like to see many sequences that are lighten with only one m9 light in many different situations .
Love that m9
A Comparison between different types of stabilization tools would be cool :)
I would love to a see video of lighting control devices, I think that is where the real power of lighting comes in. Things like LCD's, grids, flags, diy stuff.
at 10 oclock in the morning, sometimes Id just turn on my fog machine and let it fill up my room. 10 oclock is golden hour for me cause of the way the sun hits the window. With the fog, I get some pretty serene sunshafts.
i'd like to see you cover a topic on the importance of CRI
for the super low budget haze, in post add some faded film 😂
can you do a video on blendiing colors in rgb or even just in a bi-color set up
i think it would be really helpful
Love bi color
Thank you for this informative educational video!
Thanks for the info! I would like to see the next video about how should we add atmosphere and theme to our horror movies, we can do the low-key videography but there would still be something missing which doesn't deliver the full horror visual taste. Please do it so we can benefit and gain knowledge about it and thanks in advance!
Thank you!
it would be neat to have a video about modifying lights without using standard modifiers
Good explanation !
Also : Justin looks like metal singer Björn "Speed" Strid from the band SOILWORK :)
I knew he seemed familiar from somewhere...
(Almost a year late, but hey.)
@@bencampbell5468 :)
The best topic so far..👍
Solid video! I'd really like to see a future video about mobile light setups, for example following talent with a china ball during a tracking shot. I'd also love to see you guys take the same relative concept a bit further and include some moving lights, the best example that comes to mind is Blade Runner, especially 2049.
Would love to see a night scene lighting setup outdoors for instance in a car or pathways.
Which is a great budget friendly haze?
great very insightful .. could you guys recommend a fog machine brand please
I used a can of atmospheric haze and it left residue oil all over the floor, cameras and on my drums. Any tips on the best way to clean that stuff?
Educational Video Suggestion: How to light/expose for cinematic interior/exterior using only practical sources and bounce/negative fill
Thanks guys, you ALWAYS bring it and ALWAYS show that if you take your time and plan your shots, you won't be overwhelmed.
I'm looking to recreate the Dry-For-Wet VFX Del Toro used in The Shape Of Water to safely shoot my talent in an underwater scene. Can you show me (us) how?
Thanks for your time.
Hi, Thanks for your awesome videos. Please do a video on how to cinematically light a large space, for daytime. Like a Cathedral with lots of stained glass windows
How do you use haze or fog without setting off smoke alarm? Do you turn off the detectors?
Increíble!!!
How do you know maintain a consistent level of haze through a shoot?
What haze machine was used?
Could you please do a video on budget (under 500EURO) Haze Machines?
How about smoke alarms??? You should mention that .. this is a big one especially if there s no battery to remove.
Water or Oil haze machine? Which damage lenses and camera less?
So to create music videos that where the light beams use a fogger? Or hazer?
I wish I could double like this video. Thank you
I want to get a smoke or haze machine, i mean is there realy a huge difference anyway ? from what i gather you can use both machines to do either effect ? Or can a haze machine not do fog ? hmm
Your channel is so Damn informative its hard to say what else I could learn from you guys but if its not to much to ask id say id like to see a video of 3-4 different tiers of prices for lighting a music video
Thank You!!!! 🙌
Where’s the “love” button!?
I'd like to see a video about creating shadow with DIY gobos
2:05 haze vs fog
Hey can u use a Fog machine with led lights that have a fan?
Awesome video
I would like a video going over all aputure light products, like your m9 price guide a kit so i know what i need and what to buy, so say 1000 dollar setup 100 dollar setup ect.
Hello, what is the best way to light vapour? Back lit? Thanks!
When is the light dome 2 coming out?!?!?!
Do you get a nasty residue from the fog or haze machines on your sets after use? Was considering using this at home regularly for shots, but if it's an issue with residue then I would be hesitant.
Generally there's a bit of an associated smell that lasts a day or two after filling a room, but with good ventilation most atmospheric effects will dissipate in a couple of hours.
Guys please help ! How can i match the volume of the haze between shots so i can get it matched
Hey nice setup! I'd like to know a good way to haze on a budget. My scene is a low key one light source kitchen. Thanks!
Harry Sunderland just use a cheap $30 fogger and put a fan on it and trigger it in small intervals. Most hazers are just foggers with a fan. The real hazers are oil based and not common anymore since they leave residue so you won’t be missing out with that hack
Fog or smoke ? Fog and haze are often similar by nature.
What fog machine did you use at 2:25 I want to buy that
I don't agree with this. I have a fog machine and I use a reflector and just blow it around and it looks great.
How to make a UA-cam set up from low budget to higher end! Idk I would think that's cool what do you guys think?
Also hazzeee
What happened to the moonlight after turning the 300d on.. wasted your time and energy.. should have reversed the lighting setup.. instead of 120s for moonlight 300d.. and instead of overhead 300d a 120.
If you really needed that moonlight..that you end up jeopardising.
Is it safe to breathe this stuff??
how to make haze?
ok so how do you keep the fog on the ground?
There are low floating fog machines out there that use ice.
How can I use a fog machine if there is no outlet like on a location shoot in a forest? Any solutions?
generator
get there early in the morning.
ok but where's a hazer I can get for under 50
Haze = Fog which is only visible when light hits it
If you want haze, but you only have a smoke machine, rent a haze machine. Or you will be wasting a lot of precious time on set to get the smoke right. Don't follow into false economy advises. They are not as expensive to hire, and will make your films much better. Smoke machine are more for FX, Haze for atmosphere.
You told us what you use each of them for, but never mentioned what the difference is. Do you even know the difference?
