This was so informational to watch as a beginner director who doesn't know anything about lighting! Thank you so much, I'm trying to rent out equipment from my school and didn't know what to get haha
I got some experience with lighting working at a community theatre as the light and sound operator during every dress rehearsal and show, but it seems it's a lot more complex for filming. With a lot of theatres you just need two or three configurations (per play). Thanks.
Nice information! Here is a tip ad a dimmer to a tungsten light so you can adjust your light brightness and temperature at the same time it’s great for still photography!
I shot a music video in Hawaii for a group called GENTRI around a campfire. Luckily the group kept the fire going. It was super tricky because I had to get solo shots of each of the members of the group around the fire, plus group shots, also dealing with the sun setting. By the end of the shoot my ISO was cranked up uncomfortably high. The whole thing made for an interesting edit with a lot of post production work to try and match the brightness/color of shots so it felt like the sun was setting throughout the video and not jumping back and forth.
@@ryanmoody6198 got to the location later than planned, took longer than anticipated to get the fire going, etc. It was somewhat an informat video shoot when compared to others. Anyway we had much less time with the sun. Would have been nice to have but ultimately we had planned to shoot with more daylight and not needing lights. Still all worked out and their fans liked the video.
I liked the old carbon arc brutes. Haven’t seen one used for probably more than twenty years now, the last time was at St. Pancras Station in London before it was converted for Eurostar use. Don’t know what the production was.
Hi, thanks for the great video. I'm deciding bw a few models. Does more led beads automatically mean more power? One has 112, another 120, and another a little over 190.
Is the Aputure 600D getting in to HMI territory? I know my 300 is bright enough to simulate exterior daylight in some cases. I'm considering making the 600d investment as opposed to a clunky old HMI
Thank you A LOT for this video, it helped me understand about the differences of a different lights, but i have a question - can LED lights be used with gels? And what sould i consider buying for making videos in different locations? Does the shape and size of an LED lamp matters? And should i consider buying more than 1 LED light or can i have 1 main LED light and some additional background lights that are current in the enviroment and just put some gels on them? For example , i'd use one main LED light to light a talking subject and and put some basic lamps in the background with gels to create a good atmosphere? Thanks in advance!
Hey Catherine, 1. Yes, you can use Gels on LED lights. Do it all the time. Many LED lights now offer RGB functionality, so may not need gels. 2. Tough to say, maybe something with possible battery power or a light that is easily portable. It really depends on what youre making, budget, and features that are important to you. 3. Yes, thats a good place to start. I have various lights from LED panels to COB led lights to tube lights. Which I use as my key light or even at all depends on the location, subject, and what I'm trying to do. Lights are like cars. Every car can take you from point A>B, but some will be suited for different areas, conditions, etc. Hope that helps!
Incandescents aren't at full brightness as soon as you turn them on, by definition. They have to warm up, and the brightness increases considerably over time. A lot of it. That said, there are a tonne of top-tier cinematographers that still swear by old school redheads and blonde tungstens, as they're worth the tiny bit of extra setting up time to make them safe. Don't be so quick to tell people to write them off.
@@hwcentertainment Yes we do. Color rendition is still better than anything else. BUT LEDs are really starting to close the gap! I just finished a feature last week and although I had some tungsten with me, it's the first time I never actually used them on set. My first full LED show.
4:08 that's cute, the thought that in any REAL producing would wait 15 minutes for lighting to wrap. Lol we start wrapping hours before they call wrap or else we would be wrapping for hours. Hahaha. That's funny, he actually thinks Production is willing to wait that long so you don't burn your hand. As if they could give a shit

That was a great crash course on filmmaking lights. Super clear & concise. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent analysis! A bit of history and a bit of today. I've used most of these styles of lights but still your presentation taught me a lot!

Wow, loud outro music. Great video about the evolution of different types of lights.
I needed this. Great one! 💪🏼
Great video. I would consider lowering the volume of the music and choosing a less upbeat track as well, it simply distracts from the video itself.
Great video! Learned a lot!
Chouette, la casquette !
Led panels are the way to go! What you think about rotolights?
Excellent, well communicative video. Tks!
Tungsten is Hollywood. The best light that can be shaped easily.
Very useful video,thanks a lot
Really thorough video! Loved it!
Super helpful, thanks man!
So great and useful!

Why didn't you just use literally anything astera?

Hope you were able to take care of the nosy noise :3
How do you feel about 2 door vs 4 door barn doors? Why would one be used vs the other? Thanks! Great video by the way!
great job explaining
Should mention CRI.
Yayyyyy ❤️ this was something i was looking for
Which LED light would you recommend for trying to replicate natural sunlighe
Thank you this was very helpful
Well done mate
This video is super helpful!

Don't believe the rods are made any more. :( HMI's really killed the arcs.
Super awesome vid, man. Thx for posting. Where did u get the Wilson wallpaper?
I made it and thought it was funny cause this was filmed at the height of covid.
Very helpful!
awesome explanation
great tutorial, many thanks
Really good informative video.
Very good video helped me lot
Wilson!!
Very good :) thank you
What’s the best option for colored lighting?
Hi, thanks for the great video. I'm deciding bw a few models. Does more led beads automatically mean more power? One has 112, another 120, and another a little over 190.
The power draw doesn't directly mean more output. You must look for light measurement in the info (for example "lux at 3m") and take the highest.
Great video
Great tips!
comment: ending sound gain much higher than video. feels like ads on tv, ear breaking.

@@anthonynajera7716 yeah, thanks a lot! Great video 🙏🏻❤
How can I use a lamp outdoors? Or is it recommended?
2:09 what is this application?
talking about an HMI and showing a tungsten is kind a funny
Kinoflos are flicker-free. That is part of the higher price point. Cheap fluorescent fixtures that run at 60 cycles will flicker at high frame rates.
Yeah but who the hell in the industry uses kino now? Lol. Especially for high speed.
I need the name of the program u use
What diffuser did you have on that Godox?
Glow EZ Lock Quick Octa Large Softbox with Bowens Mount (36"). Just google that and it will come up.
Thanks!!

Truth be told. Tungsten is still around and DPs still use them.

Omg
Inaccurate video tbh
