I like you guys. If you've got time, maybe consider making a video about how you guys all came together to create this channel and what your individual backgrounds were before Shutterstock. I think your audience loves the tuts but it would be cool to see a little personality as well.
Great video! I really like the format of these videos. There’s a great combination of examples, graphics and details without dragging on or going off topic. A lot of thought and effort has obviously gone into putting this together including clean audio, great visuals and great content. Keep it up! 🎥
Great vid! Most useful thing to know about the inverse square law though is how it evens out light: the further you are away from the source the less dramatic the fall off. Therefore, if you want to light a large area evenly it’s best to use a very big light as far away as possible :)
Might be too soon, but was the "10 Things I DIDN'T Know about lighting" video ever made? If there are even ten things you don't know. Great tutorials, by the way. I've picked up a lot of great tips which have improved my work significantly. Keep it up!
Well done! Just wanted to add something (maybe you'll "learn" it in your next video). You concluded the section about the inverse square law by saying it means "if you want your light to be brighter, just move it a little bit closer." While true, I think its most useful application is in understanding that you can control how much light is on the background relative to your subject. If your subject and the background are both far from the light, they'll be similar in brightness. If you move the light closer to the subject than the background, the subject will now be quite a bit brighter than the background. A useful tidbit when you aren't able to light your background separately from your subject, or find that you're having too much spill.
I'm the cinematographer of my office, I show my collegues this video and they loved it. Now they understand better what I do at the office 😂 (I work at an art studio)
This video rocked. I’ve been trying to understand the whole amperage and voltage thing for years, and this video helped me understand it in seconds. Thanks!
Love the video. Great job! Please be sure that when you're using a c-stand that you obey the right-hand rule! Your narrator didn't and it actually showed why it exists when he dropped a solid (at the 4:00 minute mark). Also, if you want to be a bit more specific about single & double nets: the single reduces light by 1/2 stop (.6 on some models), the double a full stop (1.2 stops on some models). I'll definitely be using this video in my lighting seminars! Thank you!
Ha, I wondered if anyone would notice. I almost reshot that portion... dangit! I will say though, the solid got dropped cuz I just loosened the knob like a dingus. haha, nice eagle eye there though!
@@shutterstocktutorials I spend a lot of my teaching time talking about right-hand rule so I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for it in videos I use. You DID loosen the handle (I'll leave the "dingus" part out...) but, if it had been right-hand rule, that might have stopped it from falling. Might have. Might not have, too. Much of what you cover in this video is what I teach (of course, I go into much greater detail). I've found that after a while, my students get tired of hearing my voice and a new voice (almost invariably saying the exact same things!!!) can reinforce their learning. Thanks for that. If you're ever in Orlando, drop by & say hello. Valencia College Film Technology Program. Started in 1988 and going strong. I graduated in the 2nd class (1989) and started teaching (part time...gotta earn a real living!) in 2001. Great job. Cheers!
@@straightjacketsstraightjac1946 Glad to hear you're teaching the real stuff! I'm always surprised to hear the types of things that people aren't learning in film school. Sounds like you're doing a great job with your classes!
@@shutterstocktutorials Thanks for your kind words. It's always a challenge. I have a very limited time to teach an incredible amount of gear, protocols, and processes. The RHR is one of the hardest things for them to truly grasp. It's not rare at all for me to get a FB message from a former student sending me a picture of a c-stand not RHR and they fixed it. It always makes me proud! A question for you (it's a question I often ask gaffers & Key Grips that I come into contact with): What would you like to see recent film school graduates that come to your set to work on lighting with you (be it electric or grip) know?
Congrats to the 100k subs. You guys deserve it!( Maybe you could make a third part on lighting: With which gear to start, what to buy after that and what a profesional set-up would look like).
Electric stoves are 50Amps and electric Dryers are 30Amps. Dishwashers and washing machines run off 110, via a 20Amp circuit, (120volts). You can get an adapter cable to run power from a 30Amp dryer outlet to bates connector, then connect that to a bates 220 distro box, or convert it down to a 110 lunchbox.
Thanks dude! "Lo Fi Dreams" Is a banger for sure. Sometimes I realize I've been accidentally listening to those tracks in the background for like thirty minutes.
Argh!!! I debated reshooting this part so much haha. I knew some folks would notice. When doing these videos sometimes I have a hard time keeping those types of details on my mind haha. I move too quick.
Awesome tips Todd! I phoned a few friends and asked them to subscribe to the channel, so we can get Team Shutterstock Tutorials over the hump. "100K Closing Fast!" Be well, stay encouraged, and Congratulations in advance!!!
@@shutterstocktutorials I appreciate it Todd, just remember that you, Logan, Robbie, and the rest to the Team put in the work and I (like all of your other subscribers) reap the benefits. By far one of the best channels on RU-vid!!!
What? Have you never heard of a frensel light? It was invented by Rebecca Frensel, professor of physics at the community college of south idaho. Come on, I thought everyone knew about the frensel light.
The v flat looks super portable. Please provide a link to it. Also, what flag kit is that? Recommendations for just getting the job done. Fancy names don't matter. I need to order some for my kit.
amzn.to/30Xfed7 - Here's the v-flat we got... but TBH you can even just use some tape on a couple of poster boards from a hobby shop. That flag kit is Westcotts fast flags - amzn.to/2GqkD4i
From a softness perspective, there is absolute no benefit to book lighting, unless you need the exposure over a f4 at 800 and don't have space to light. A 4x4 litemat will be equally soft as a booklight going through a 4x4 diff frame, and its a lot less work.
I do all that stuff in After Effects - I actually talked about it a bit in the first tip on this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2bx8uVs8JVM.html
7:00 .... wildly misleading ... f40 to f32 is less than 1/3 stop of light lost... I know you meant something different when you said and it seems right to say but it's wrong to say it like that....
@@shutterstocktutorials The way I understand it the term f-stops and stops are used interchangeably when measuring light difference. The only way it works your way is if you say f-numbers. Not trying to nit-pick, just might be a little confusing to people who don't know the difference.
