I tested a new way to light scenes 

I loved the intro so much

I think all that's missing in the bounce's design would be to make the edge between colors fuzzier. It would help making the reflections more natural

this is why i always make sure to have a rothko nearby to bounce light into

That intro is crazy, respect the effort! Also great breakdown, I actually do like how the bluff bounce adds that subtle change in colour to the room or objects. 👌🏻

This is the most unnecessarily cinematic RU-vid video I've ever watched. Love it.

Tremendous intro. I love when cinematography/video channels actually weave some kind of narrative style into their reviews or breakdowns in that way. Stuff like that is often just as educational as the full videos because I get to see some techniques to use when you're both in front of and behind the camera at the same time haha.

It's always a good day when I see Lewis Potts uploaded a new video. :) Seriously dude, thanks so much for making these videos and putting so much effort into them! This is the only cinematography channel on RU-vid that I find genuinely inspiring instead of just giving me gear acquisition syndrome (or giving super basic advice).

Very cool idea, thanks for the demo.

Amazing how clearly it bounces onto the objects but the skin absorbs 95% of it. Like the other comments have said I bet it would be better if the colors had a gradient to them 🔥

To quote Andy Bernard aka The Nard Dog; "Dude, you are so money. But you dot even know it. But you do." This is flow state kind of stuff. So visually pleasing. Thanks for dropping the knowledge.

Oh, and it's a brazilian company! Super cool, I'm going to message all the rental houses in my area to get these haha 🇧🇷

the medival lute music caught me off guard, so whimsical and lovely

Man the frames on that intro got me 😍😍💖📽

The hard cut-off between different colours makes this sort of a dealbreaker. The transition from one colour to the next on that fabric should be graceful and diffused rather than a hard dividing line.

It has its place. It works as a solid out of focus backdrop in windows. I think the harsh blue reflections on objects is completely unrealistic and the white bounce looks so much better. However, in the shot of the MacBook at 4:53, the blue reflection looks really nice. Not a replacement, just another tool. Cool to know it's out there.

The king is back! I’ve always wanted to try one of these. The reflections in objects around the room, and when you actually see it a little bit out the window are cool. Sick shades bro.

Intro, and reflection on the objects 🫶 cool to see the remote call with the creator as well!

Nice dude. I need more Lewis Potts in my life

I really love the natural skin tone (even if it's just a minor touch). One personal note is the harsh line between the white and blue on the reflections (such as the cabinet) seeming a bit unnatural to me. Maybe V2 can almost have an ombre shift between the two colors. Sweet vid!

This is great, I have always enjoyed using natural bounces in nature. Spots of sunlight hitting foliage or a brown tree bark. This is a very smart product that delivers a much needed tool for controlling lighting while also staying realistic

Frickin love this format, intro got me inspired

I literally just got my rag delivered yesterday! I went with Amazonia cause if the climate I’ll be shooting in the next few months. So excited to have this tool in my “go-to” kit

Super big fan of how you’re having more and more fun with your videos, while simultaneously keeping the quality 💯

No one competes with your transitions 🔥

This is a very interesting idea and tool. Great to see people thinking outside of the box.

SWEEEET!!!! Back in the day, we used to have to DIY.

The rear view mirror shot is so funny and clever. Good stuff man!

One of the best cinematography channels I've ever seen, thank you for your work!

yooooo this intro - you're such a film maker

Funny enough Emmanuel Lubezki had something like this for Tree of Life. That was shot on film as well. It’s a subtle trick and works really well

I've used a rustic red brick wall as a bounce in June and it gave such an architectural feel to the light and skin tones.

That is a nice idea!!! Thanks for bringing this up!

Another excellent video from you! It's so cool to see some of the innovation in lighting and modifiers especially when so much time and energy is focused on cameras.

2:26 ooooh I can see the difference! white bounce lets light in much more, bluff gives a cloudy day vibe and looks more contrasty

Really enjoyed the editing and subtle humour in this video!

Interesting. Subtle. Adds an ounce of realism. I like it.

Nicholas Bluff is a genius!!!!!

brilliant stuff as always Lewis!

Your intro is so sick! Crazy filmmaking skills!

So happy to see a new video! I've been watching back through your old ones the last couple days, thank you so much

OMFG..... The "woooshhhhhhhh" killed me.

You put so much work on this!😍

Definitely want to try these! Great video!

I enjoy your channel a lot, Eli. I’m glad you’re putting time and effort into it. You are insightful and entertaining!

Keep. Making. Videos. Like. This. Lewis!

Ooh, this man did such a huge discovery that is a gift for film making. Thanks for making this product!

What? How crazy was that intro?🔥😮

Man, Thanks for this! I found these bounces the exact same way. I was curious to see exactly what you showed! the reflections of the bounce was something great I didn't even consider. Glad you reached out and got to check them out.

You have the best ways to start your videos ❤

Another classic! Couldn’t stop chuckling at all the bits. Love these videos so much!

Its always fun to watch your videos!

thanks for reminding everyone that 5 minutes is the perfect length for RU-vid video.

Your comedic timing is on point my dude! Idky, but I died when you clapped with the prospective transition and then immediately cut mid explanation. As always, I love your content, and wisdom/knowledge along with the cherry on top with your deadpan humor!

Perfect for shoots here in sunny Florida! Gonna check them out.

I love that subtle blue!!! great vid

man i want to see a breakdown of that dark scene close up looking at the phone! that is a great shot!

This is GREAT PRODUCT!! I can't believe no one else figured this our before now, and then marketed it. What a GREAT PRODUCT!

Hi Lewis , You got some charm in yourself that reflects. You are a great actor also. Loved watching you.

OMG this is actually so clever and simple and genius! 👏🏼👏🏼 Loved this.

wow this looks so promising. Cheers Karnt

The GOAT has returned!!!

Great video! Loved the intro, and the subtle humor.

Very cool product. I could see how it could be used outside a window with/without curtains. And you use the colored fabric to block nearby buildings/houses from being seen through the window. Instead, there is the blue from the Bluffbounce screen giving the impression of a sky when the location is across the street from other houses or in the city. Plus, as mentioned, the colors from the screen bouncing off of objects in the foreground. A great way of adding mood or depth to the shot.

Holy shiiii… that intro was brilliant!! Another great video from the master

Great video, Lewis, and very funny. Keep it up!

It's one of those interesr8ng ideas that I wonder why hasn't it been done before. Thanks for awesome content.

love your videos!

Great video! I think I really like the look of the Bluff Bounce - what a great idea.

This is actually a really fun idea…now I’m thinking of all types of uses. 🧐

I do like how the Bluff bounce subtly affects hard surfaces. I will have to try some of his rags. Thanks for sharing.

I can't believe that you made this awesome opening scene with a Sony fx30? 😯 just crazy !!!

Genius!! That intro tho. Good stuff man!

Great video. These peaked my interest when I seen them a few weeks back. I really like the reflection colours. In a similar vein for soft box's etc, I was looking at the Brokeh lighting system. Subtle difference to flat white but very pleasing on skin from the looks of it.

“Just a rag”… I get excited about rags, lima bounce comes out on set it’s a good day

hahah that eye squint in the rearview!!! love it!

Definitely a cool product! Little details!

One of my favorite channels. just thanks) You're cool!

Very interesting, gotta love something new !

this is fantastic. I had so much fun, and that’s a really interesting produce too. Hats off… or on

incredible intro, you are a gem

at first it doesn't look like much keying but it's a crazy cool detail when added as a kicker and on surfaces! I love it. Also, I love your clap transition haha!!

Interesting with some logic but not sure it makes sense in reality. Quite specific result but great that people are trying new things. I know using flags and scrim is what we are supposed to do but i have never really understood why we dont have graduated reflectors or graduated diffusion. Think Deakins cove light and creating a softer fall off would be so easy. I know placing flags or extra diffusion is more controllable but its so easy to end up with a spaghetti of stands and arms. Meanwhile my current favourite thing to do is use a mirror as a bounce as if its a window source. So often a room might seem dead or for practical reason the window is in the wrong place. I dont mean mirrored glass, more the plastic light and cheap ones. I know its not exactly news but doing that with some coloured filter in front or few branches or cucoloris to break things up often helps create a more lived in set of reflections and the highlights have a sharpness that creates some interesting texture. So many ways to do it and usually so little time. Thx as always

BRAZIL, LETS GO!

subbed for the sly looks to the camera

Excellent product. I was taking photos of a person with a sunset behind me and loved the look of the colours in the eye's and refractions. Always figured a big bounce with the same pricipals would be cool. It would be nice to see if they could have some sort of fade so it's not just a hard line. Would make it look even more natural.

Top tire intro!

I feel like putting your source through 4x4 gel frame that has some ctb and straw layed out in the same manner as the bounce would work better, better color, more subtle reflections. for a sun bounce seems cool though.

Real good info and product ! Thank you to share 👍

I'm shook to see you shot on the FX30. I expected the Komodo. Would love to see a video with your thoughts on the camera.

Good lord the intro is a masterpiece in itself. The lighting is incredible.

I like what it's doing to the overall color of the image. Not a huge fan of the reflections on objects, but I could see it being useful in subtle ways.

Great video and cool to here about smaller scale innovators

Props to Nicholas. But if anyone wants to try this for cheap, maybe get a piece of unbleached muslin and then spray paint the top half light blue. Then you'll have a nice fade too.

wow - awesome cinematography

it's arrived.

Love this concept, always cool when someone thinks outside of the box 👏! Loved the video intro too 🎥 🍕 🥒 😆!

I think on faces it looks subtle. But that reflection on objects and wall it's kinda game change imo

"I need some fitting background music to go alongside me rigging this thing up... *types into music streaming service: "medieval rpg ambience" THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR"

Very interesting!

your style is the best... also the cheap but effective falcoln eyes "flexy light" ha hell yeah
