Hey dude, found your channel recently. I see no uploads in a while, (so as a total stranger from the internet), I hope you're still making video/film/commercials & whatnot. Even if it is just personal projects every once in a while. All the best dude 👍
Many thanks! And yes, still cranking out lots of video content, just for clients right now (took a traditional 9-5 because I had a kiddo and wanted the stability for a few years). Hoping to get back into some more of this stuff at some point in the not-too-distant future :)
@@DroiMedia Deakins uses a cove light (bounced light that forms a cove from multiple light sources at different outputs strengths). Shane Hurlbut is known for the book light.
It's not enclosed, it bounces and diffuses light, and it's not directly attached to a light. A softbox is enclosed, just diffuses light mostly (yes there is SOME bounce), and usually attaches to the light. Otherwise they pretty much produce the same nice soft light, just a different way to get to the same spot 😁

Great project and explanation!
Thanks, Kevin! Always happy to see your name pop up in my notifications :D
Good video I want to slide into your DMs lol
I want to be like Roger Deakins.. I need to make one. 🤓
If I catch him using one of these exact book lights I'll poo myself, BUT, I do think he uses this method all the time :D

Good to know!
How's this different from a softbox?
