The easiest way to complete an image and present a more cinematic, filmic look - a bulb! When lighting a scene, using a practical light, like a bulb in a lamp shade, can help you motivate your lighting - showing your audience where the light in the shot is supposed to be coming from. This allows you to light your image to how you want it to look, whilst anchoring it to something within the frame - forming a representation of the light in your scene in a way that makes sense to the viewer.

Absolutely, great way to do it! I think now with these newer specialised bulbs, it's a lot easier and a generally smoother process to achieve brightness and temp change though - they're pretty great!

Thanks Bo, your kind words are always appreciated! :) haha you do start noticing little flaws when you start learning about this stuff! I find much of the time when you notice mistakes in a professional production it's more about how involved you are in the film/show itself - you're less likely to notice flaws and mistakes if you're more invested in the story and world! That's how it is for me anyway 😁 good to hear from you! :)

I am a new watcher dude, you instantly become one of my favorites. I love lights... I own a couple Aputure 100ds, a couple Aputure 60xs, some PavTubes 4ft's, but I'm not the best at lighting. You sir, have taught me a lot. Thank you That said, I want to be able to simulate a sun, like you do in a lot of videos. What fresnel and light would you recommend that is cost effective, but not cheap?
@RobEllisCinematographer
@RobEllisCinematographer 2 года назад
Wow thank you Andrew!! Super happy to hear you've learnt a lot from my videos, makes what I'm doing worth it! :) At the moment I think the best cost effective, but not overly cheap way to do this is with the 600 - 800 watt range of lights from Aputure, Godox and Nanlite. The Aputure 600X Pro and the Nanlite Forza 720B are similarly priced and are both bi-color units, so you've got the flexibility for changing the colour temperature for more of a morning/evening sun, a midday cooler sun and anything in between, to your taste or what you need to shoot. The Nanlite 720B is more powerful, so it is definitely more cost effective since they're the same price! You've also got the Godox M600D which we looked at in my last video, which is the cheapest of the three and isn't bi-color, only daylight. But if you use gels you can save a little money and get a similar power output! Each of these has their own compatible fresnel too. I've actually got a video looking at the Forza 720B coming out soon too. I hope this helps in some way! :)

@MarcCotterill
@MarcCotterill 2 года назад
Another really great video, thank you Rob. Can I ask perhaps a simple question? I always assumed that the in-camera white balance setting would usually be set to achieve accurate skin tones, however in this video you showed how it was used initially to cool the exterior lights to mimic the look of nighttime. How do you balance that aspect whilst maintaining accurate skin tones? Or have I missed the point here, and the light and colour temperature set from the practical is what then balanced the look to achieve the correct colour/skin tones?
@RobEllisCinematographer
@RobEllisCinematographer 2 года назад
Thank you Marc! So if you've lit the shot how you intend to light it, then generally there's no need to adjust skin tones - it's more about the intention of how you want your image to look, why you want it to look that way and in this case, backing it up with the motivated light. We set our lamp and key to a super warm 2000K so it still appears as a naturally warm indoor lamp light with our cooler white balance - so we end up with an image in which the skin tones look natural because we've presented that warm tone as lamp light - so there's no need to try and find a "correct" skin tone, the lighting itself is explaining the warmth on the face. If we wanted the whole shot to be lit by moonlight, for example if you take a look at the shot when we just introduce the fill - you'll see that the blue tones work for the skin, as we've presented the image as being lit by moonlight. If we go and try balance for some sort of correct skin tone in that situation, we'd just be warming the image up and removing the moonlight feel, or we'd be making our face warm and keeping the rest blue, which would look very odd haha! Skin tone correction is best used when something is initially wrong with the image, like there was a reflection from something green catching the skin, or there are multiple sources mixed together and the skin looks off, or you'e pushing for a really stylistic grade (which doesn't usually look too good unless there's a reason for it, in my opinion)! To sum up this extremely long response - light with intention and you will barely need to correct skin tones! I hope this helps in some way! :) it might be nice to make a video on this at some point!

Thank you so much! Right angle adapters and specific cable sizes - when I built the rig for the Pocket 6k I roughly measured out how long each HDMI cable would need to be, with a tiny bit of headroom. Although I tend to misplace my cables when I de-rig so it doesn't always look that neat haha!

You don't have to do anything, that's the beauty of creativity and finding ways of doing things that are suitable for the work you're creating - but it helps to understand these basic techniques so you can utilize them when you feel like they're needed. For a more direct answer, no, haha- but if your scene feels "lit" and unnatural, and that's not your intention, then you might need a practical to motivate from!
