How to create a circle of light! (Lighting tutorial)

Today we're going to go over a very simple but effective lighting technique. A circle of light! I've really enjoyed using this effect for both my video and photoshoots. Theres a couple simple techniques I've used to get great results with this setup that Im excited to share with you all.

this is so f***n inspiring ^-^

[@1JAYWOODS]

Great video bro

[@Chollette]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏽

[@robertthompson2273]

what's a projector you recommend i'm trying to find a good one in a reasonable budget of 100-200 i don't mind buying used too!

[@PIF_PAF_POUF_RL]

Excuse me sir, but I tried to use a projector for my light circle and when I start shooting with a canon 200Od camera (I know it's not is first function), it started to flicker and with that the only light source was my projector (in a dark room). I tried many things, sush as changing the shutter speed of my camera and so on but the issue was never fix. Did you have an alternative, an other type of light, puting cardboard around an other light source or settings which can help me ?

[@myreelart659]

Love the tutorial just one question. When you're creating the shiolette. What should my iso setting and shutter speed be set at because I can never get the shiolette look ?

[@Chollette]

Thanks!
For video I’d keep my shutter at 1/50 and my iso as low as I can. Make sure any ambient lighting in the room is off so it’s as dark as possible. Also try putting your f stop to the 5-6 range and see how that looks.

[@eddylee6691]

love the video man. Amazing shots. do you only use continuous light with that or used some strobe light for the pictures??

[@Chollette]

Thanks! Everything in this video was using continuous lighting.

[@slater-studios]

Great video man! I was just getting ready to look into spotlight shooting. Do you have any recommendations for an alternative brand spotlight? Is there like a universal option that would work if you don’t have aperture? Something that would fit bowens mount. Thank you!

[@Chollette]

Thank you! So A cheaper alternative but not by much would be the Amaran Spotlight SE. Thats a Bowens mount option. I recently uploaded a video using that setup. Beyond a projector, these are the only two spotlight attachments I have personal experience with. Hope that helps.

[@slater-studios]

@@Chollettethank you for responding! I will look into to that one! You have a new follower! I followed before you commented lol but I appreciate that!

[@violettaschmieder2096]

how did you make her look so vintage at 2:46? did u intentionally unfocus or did u use a gaussian blurr or smth in post?

[@Chollette]

I shot it using a black pro mist filter 1/8th and then added some grain in post.

[@TyImani.]

What camera did you use to take the pictures?

[@Chollette]

I use the Sony A7R5 and the FujiX100v :)

[@isrl5450]

Do you use a smoke machine?

[@Chollette]

At the time of making this video I didn’t, but I recently got one actually!

[@williamrogers358]
