I've seen several videos about the Spotlight SE, you're the first one to give a heads up about it getting hot to the touch. Thank you for that. Will probably be getting one next month. Great video. Appreciate you.

@TylerEdwards 6 месяцев назад

It’s crazy no one else has mentioned it. Sometimes I wonder if reviewers even use the product they review 😂

@kylemckenna 4 месяца назад

doesnt it have a warning on the top of the spotlight? im not 100 percent sure (i dont have one)

@CreatureFeatures3 10 месяцев назад

Good info. Thanks! Observation: sounds like your audio has too much compressor or limiter in post. Each time you inhale between sentences, it's really loud and exaggerated. We had lots of trouble with this ourselves and stopped using leveling plugins because they were more trouble than they were worth.

@Josh_Sattin 10 месяцев назад

Love how small the Spotlight SE is. Great video Tyler!

Wow, I've been eying these for awhile and the smaller form factor is now looking like a green light. Dope work on the foliage background super natural!

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! And yes, this is a no-brainer modifier to have in your kit in my opinion.

@TyroneLT Месяц назад

Firstly I want to say that I'm happy for you Becca! I'm am looking forward to more content from you. I love my Pixel 9 Pro XL but I wish Google wouldn't rely on AI so much on their camera and focus on putting better hardware in there. I'd also say I wish Google would create an Android LOG video recording standard. It's a niche feature but makes sense to have it. There's only so much that software can do. The color shifting issues in the video make it clear. What Becca says at the end encapsulates this.

Great video Tyler. I’ve been using the original spotlight on set and you can create so much more interesting scenes with it. I’ll hopefully add the 300c and the SE to my kit at some stage next year

Nice video Tyler! Don you have any idea if the output generated on a 300c is differente in a SE and a regular Aputure Spotlight?

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

That’s a great question and I don’t know off the top of my head but I’ll do some research

@WilfredFumbly 2 месяца назад

Great video! Tell me: would pairing the Spotlight SE with an Amaran 150c be just as good as the 300c? Any situations where it would lose out to a 300c?

@TylerEdwards 2 месяца назад

The only difference would be output between the two models

@rt2904 9 месяцев назад

@joenicklo 10 месяцев назад

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

Honestly, I’m shocked (in a good way) with how good this spotlight is both in optical and build quality and the price is also great. Thanks for dropping by Joe!

@matthewtomlinson9853 10 месяцев назад

Great review and information, I have the spotlight SE with the 19-degree lens, and I am definitely a fan, it's a fantastic piece of kit that I would not give up. I use it with the 300c as well as the 150c, generally with I prefer it with the 150c as it doesn't get as hot and the 300c is usually a key light. However, the one thing I will say is that the Amaran really needs to work on the focusing aspect of the spotlight, it really is clunky at best and sometimes can be very difficult to adjust, especially when it is hot from running for a bit. Cheers keep up the fantastic content.

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

Maybe on a V2 they can add gears and a knob of some sort for the focusing. Thanks for dropping by!

@creativegreatsvisuals 9 месяцев назад

so to use with spotlight u recommend the 150c watt?

@Dontlicktheballoons 10 месяцев назад

Great video as always. Question for you though. You mentioned its designed for the 150c and 300c. How does she run on the Amaran 200D? I'm wondering if the 200 is too punchy for it, as the 200 is pushing out more lumens (at least at 5600k) then the 300c. If you've any 1st hand experience I'd love to know!

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

I haven’t run it on a 200D but it should work great on it. I only have a 200x s (key light for this video) and that’s not really optimized for a spotlight anyways so I haven’t tried it with that.

@professionaI_yapper 10 месяцев назад

The 200d doesn't push more than the 300c. Both bare bulb, 1 meter, and 5,600K.. You should be good.

@12yfilms 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing! I just got my SE 36 this past week. I'm waiting on the Iris to be available. Do you ever feel like it doesn't focus well enough? Like the outer edges being too soft?

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

I feel like I can get pretty sharp edges with it. I’ve mostly used it with a gobo for texture and usually defocus it anyways.

@lucbus1 10 месяцев назад

Great video Tyler, Thank you. Did you already own the regular spotlight? And if yes, do you intend to keep it/find yourself getting jobs in which you might use both spots? More a gear acquisition/management question for owner/operators. Thanks again!

@TylerEdwards 10 месяцев назад

Yup I’ve owned the spotlight for a few years now and I have no plans of retiring it. 👍

Would you say this is better than optical snoot or about the same

@SomewhatAbnormal 6 месяцев назад

It's amazing to me how poorly some films are lit, specifically when it comes to motivation. My wife works in the film industry, and she did a film last year with Micky Rourke. First, yes, he's a nutjob. Second, as you can imagine, it was a low budget film. Anyway, the lighting person must have just discovered color LEDs because there were no scenes without either blue or magenta lighting. Seriously, in the middle of the woods, magenta light?! Apparently, they missed the day in film class where the concept of "motivated lighting" was taught? Also, it was so poorly lit that the editor boosted the exposure of some scenes (specifically those in the woods) which would have been fine, except that the whole image was not boosted. Only the actors in the scene received the exposure increase. I could go on about how horrible this movie is, but it's really off topic. The point is, MOTIVATED LIGHTING is extremely important and I'm glad to see you talking about it here. Thanks!

@JulioBHJ 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for not praising the window blinds gobo to high heaven, as I find it way too unrealistic. The foliage one however is pretty nice, just a random pattern that convinces most people to be natural.

Theoretically yes. Just depends if the Bowen’s mount is lined up exactly the same as Amaran

@@TylerEdwards It's great, I use it at 8% power when shooting F2.8 in my 10x10 feet studio and it is completely SILENT :D. Fan never kicks in. I'm actually got gobo projector on my to buy list, but amaran one is quite expensive in my country :(.

@plisskenetic 28 дней назад

Dude u don't even show us how you position/ angle the spotlight against the wall to get the light to appear exactly how it is behind you - u need to give us a BTS still at least so we can figure it out. U don't even show which gobo u used from the set. I could figure some of it out coz I already know lighting but I can see newbies being completely clueless.

@TylerEdwards 28 дней назад

I show how it’s setup at 4:10. You also seemed to have missed the point of the video 😂
