Thank you for sharing this. I am very happy you are using the Interfit light. I bought into that system almost two years ago and have not regretted it. I have not seen many photographers use them. So I was happy to see you use the LED. I was wondering about that light as I have the Honeybadger and S1 monolights. I just love your videos!!!
Thanks Patty. The Badger Beam is the first Interfit light I used and it's already the best battery powered LED light I've tried (and I've tested dozens of LED lights in recent years). I think it's a keeper 👍
Hi Robbie. Without a producer, these would be VERY different. Sam monitors our audio, changes camera angles, keeps an eye on the upload data, fires the questions to me and helps keep me on track. Utterly indispensable!
Nice! I’m gonna try that website out! We have an old pocket watch that once belonged to the great grandfather of my husband, I think it’s perfect for this! ☺️
Fun stuff, Gavin! I started doing these on film, in the 1970s, and we used to call them "physiograms". I thought I'd add that in lieu of putting gels on your flashlight, you can also simply hold them over the camera lens. This lets you easily change to more than one color, if you like, during the creation of a single exposure. And, since the exposure is so long, adding and removing the gels won't show in the final exposure. Thanks again, and take care!
Hi Mike. 70's beats me. I did my first one for Digital Photo Magazine only about 20 years ago! In the full live session I touched on gelling the lens. Unless you use glass gels expect a fair amount of distortion and loss of sharpness but yes, it's possible.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Kye Terrance Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Excellent tutorial Gavin. The barometer spiral at the end reminds me of the opening titles of Doctor Who (the Peter Capaldi version). Sam seems to have quite a few artistic and technical skills. Is she an artist or something in that field by any chance? How about having a tutorial one day with her teaching us how to make props and you doing the producing/ monitoring?
When you set your initial focus for the Spirograph light what exactly did you focus on? Assumedly the stationary torch tip? Does it even matter at F11 or F16? Very inspiring BTW.
Hmmm...makes me wonder if I could pull off the same effect using fireworks sparklers outdoors...& will definitely have to try that Spiralysis app out! Thanks for that heads up!
