    Legit the first time I ever heard of someone collecting lamps for filmmaking. Great idea 🎥🤘🏾

      @carstenschlag  17 днів тому +1

      Yeah man it’s a legit life saver. I can’t tell you how many times on set they have come in handy. Lol people have questioned why I have a closest full of lamps on many occasions but it’s so worth it. Appreciate you watching Steven!

    So I’ve seen a million of these videos and run a small production agency and this was useful to me, especially the lamp collection!
    If you’re a beginner these tips are GOLDEN! Much love, great video!

    Man, when I went to University and we were shooting stuff for our sketchy Uni-TV, we used to use Cinefoil for EVERYTHING. I remember having no lighting equipment whatsoever but using a combination of Cinefoil and regular tinfoil to shape the light from bare lightbulbs. That stuff is crucial when you’re on a budget. Also kudos to my Uni for investing next to no money in lighting equipment but basically owning an infinite amount of foil 😂

      Haha hey they taught you the magic of cine foil. That is priceless knowledge lol! Appreciate you man!

    For anyone starting out who feels like a lamp is a silly tool to have in your kit, think again 🤣Wish I knew earlier how quickly lamps can make a scene look 10x better.

    • @carstenschlag
      @carstenschlag  16 днів тому

      Haha dude I own more lamps then I do lights at this point 😂. It’s so worth it though! Really appreciate you watching Brandon!!
