Love the “oh I forget to bring my 8’ by 8’ soft box”. Classic. Great channel, and great example of how to create big book light, tennis 🎾 on the legs (pro), explanation of all the things you’ve done and easy understanding of it. I’m really trying to learn how to do lighting like in motion pictures to get that look that you see on the big screen. I think you’ll be one of the people to help me get there.

@Dano-Media 7 месяцев назад

The book light master at it again, after watching your videos I decided to add more wheels/rolling stands to the mix and it's super worth it.

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

They will save your back for sure! Welcome to Pete's Library, home of the BookLight!

@TheBrotographer 4 месяца назад

Bro thanks so much for this. I'm based out of California. I ironically built this for the first time in Dallas a couple weeks ago on a shoot! I considered even giving you a call. I took the 1200d though, and it worked out great!

@PDMokry 4 месяца назад

This is epic! Awesome to hear!

@danabeldp 7 месяцев назад

Magic Cloth all day for me. If you have the output, bouncing into a Muslin and then pushing through something lighter also has a nice look.

@Cinegavo 7 месяцев назад

sexy combination

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

YES, great combo for sure!

@sketchbo0k 7 месяцев назад

Just subbed. I'm new to filmmaking and I'm a one man crew, your tutorials are really helping me build a visual library of light setups I could use for various things. Thanks a lot

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

Love to hear my videos are helping others. Thank you for the support!

"I always forget my 8x8 softbox at home so I do this instead" 😂 Another great video! Thanks for going into detail about the book light - I'm definitely going to try this setup out soon.

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

🤣 Have to keep people informed on my choices! Thanks for watching! I look forward to hearing how it goes.

@Paul.Billingsley Месяц назад

Yeah, that double header is IT... means 1 C-Stand instead of 2 for me!

@PDMokry Месяц назад

Time, money and space savings!

@stephond.photography9867 7 месяцев назад

After seeing your other book light videos I created a book light soft box with PVC. It gives a better look then a soft box if you’re looking for a full range soft wrap. I like this better than what I did and will see how to implement it

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like a solid setup! I was making my own DIY gear for years. Great job trying to save money!

@stephond.photography9867 6 месяцев назад

@@PDMokry I used it yesterday at a church for interviews and it was easier to setup then I thought during the stresses of being on site. I think if I can improve on it though. I may do a video so you can see

@JulioBHJ 7 месяцев назад

Great explanation as always! I wish I had more of an input on which diffusion to use, but I haven't gotten around to testing a few different options at my rental house just yet. Mostly it's magic cloth or something similar, but I also enjoy the lighter Lee gel filters like 1/4 Hollywood frost, I feel it gives it a bit of a more professional look. That said, I really should back up my own statements by checking out and comparing all the available options... 😄

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

Might be in a future video! Need to test it for myself! Thanks for always being here to support the channel!

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

Would you use this setup on your shoots?

@PhilHover 7 месяцев назад

It's effective but lots of spill - Matt Porwoll's rolling book light setup is killer.

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

We wanted to raise the room level, so spill was good!

@bbrunorocha 7 месяцев назад

another amazing video ! as far as diffusion does, it all depends on how much light i have avaliable and which look i want to, but i really like using unbleached muslin or something similar !

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

The biggest factor is windows. Those require a lot of output, when you diffuse. Different rags offer a different look. Thank you for watching!

@vanzetti7 2 месяца назад

Amazing! Love book lighting and I love your rig. Dumb question but couldn’t you just set up a deep umbrella and that becomes your book light? I see photographers use umbrella’s all the time and the deep umbrella especially is just a book light where it bounces off the back of the umbrella and is then diffused.

@amorfilmslosangeles 6 дней назад

PD, Kick ASS video! Quick question, how do you adjust the book light if your subject is wearing glasses?

@PDMokry 6 дней назад

Great question, so with a big book light, you get a better wrap compared to a smaller light. Also you can be a further away from the subject. This seems to help avoid glare from glasses. You can always raise the light to help if needed.

@amorfilmslosangeles 6 дней назад

@@PDMokry Good call! Sometimes with 8x8 or even 6x6, depending on ceiling height, you don't have much room to stem up. I'm always trying to anticipate that one subject with glasses.... Thanks so much for replying, your channel is awesome!

Where do you score those bags? I can only find 15 and 25lb shot bags.

@ErikNaso 7 месяцев назад

Very nice setup. Rolling stands for the win.

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

They are so great, until they are not! They don't like to be transported easily when collapsed.

@ErikNaso 7 месяцев назад

@@PDMokry@PDMokry Yeah, I have 4 in my kit, and yes, they are sloppy to store in the van, but I'll take the trade-off.

@Bobsmithabc 7 месяцев назад

I’m all about some rolling stands!

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

Saves the back and the pain the next morning!

@JoATTech 6 месяцев назад

I was not aware this bags are called shot bags. Just got myself two (6kg each). They are great. Sandbags always leak at the end, which is kinda annoying especially if transported on the same cart as camera gear. Going to get more shot bags when I got rich :D.

@Bobsmithabc 7 месяцев назад

At the end of the video, you are putting a bounce in frame. Is that for white balance, exposure, or both?

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

Stellar eye you have! That was to white balance! Great catch!

@JoATTech 7 месяцев назад

My favourite diffusion is shover curtain from IKEA - $5 for 6x6 diffusion :D.

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

I just take the one in my hotel room!

@JoATTech 7 месяцев назад

@@PDMokry I'm not joking. Got 2 shover curtains from IKEA as experiment and they are quite good diffusions. Going to build my DIY booklight with them soon :D

@kwa42 22 дня назад

forgot my 8x8 softbox at home LMAO

@PDMokry 9 дней назад

I will be sure to bring it next time!🤣

@kanerifilms 6 месяцев назад

Could the grip head and ear combo be replaced by a super clamp?

@BryceDearden 7 месяцев назад

The deadpan delivery on "I always forget my 8x8 softbox at home" made me chuckle. My first reaction for the diffusion was half grid but it makes sense that since your source of light is the bounce you can go with something lighter and it will fill out evenly.

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

Great catch! Had to give the nay sayers some love! If we did not have windows, magic cloth would be king!

@PDMokry 7 месяцев назад

Will do Walter! Thanks so much!

@GatesRick 7 месяцев назад

Great idea! I hopped on this right away and built a 6x6 with a 600d bounce off a Wag Flag, through some magic cloth. Worked beautifully. I'm teaching a local lighting class in March and will add this to the agenda. Thanks PD!

@PDMokry 6 месяцев назад

Wow, awesome to hear! Awesome to know I inspire others! Send those students to the channel! lol
