love this. I do love tungsten, but also the ease of use of LED. Like film, I am thankful we are still able to use both.

@moviesmadebymike 5 месяцев назад

dope seeing two of my favorite "new" filmmaking creators coming together and commenting on each others shit. its like the filmmaking multi-verse.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Agreed!

Listen to me youngster... Buy heat shield for your gels. It's a clear plastic type sheet that removes 99% of the melting UV light of tungsten. Thus you can reuse your gels almost unltd times because you can protect the gel from the heat that's coming from the uv rays of the light. (Eg put some distance between the gel and the light source). This has let me reuse my gels like 20x's over and then some. Your welcome.

Very interesting, I liked B a lot more, the results surprised me

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Honestly me too

@sapienproductions Месяц назад

Preferred A. There was a crispness that wasn't there with B. B made the shot feel more like Mini DV compared to A.

@moviesmadebymike 5 месяцев назад

Good shit bro. Short and sweet, packed with a lot of detail. I actually preferred your skintones with the LED light idk maybe I'm just weird.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

I think I do too

@Chandler_Goodrich 3 месяца назад

I love both LED and tungsten for different things. I prefer real tungsten over 3200K LED when shooting tungsten white balance, but love 2000K Quasar tubes for augmenting firelight. In this test, though, the LED did look better to my eye. Nice content man!

@MattAitia 2 месяца назад

that’s good to know. not a lot of LEDs are great at mimicking fire

@FrogyProd 5 месяцев назад

I liked the image from B more and thought it was the tungsten. Surprised it was the other way around

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

I know right!

@joshmillerdp 5 месяцев назад

Wow that’s very interesting I thought B was the tungsten. Warmer skin tones and no color shift atleast to my eye

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

I was surprised too

@Sup90210 14 дней назад

You really, really had to know your shit when shooting film and tungsten to make it look good from on set through developing and printing. That’s why so many DP’s didn’t start getting serious jobs till after twenty plus years learning the craft. It’s good people are getting interested in film and older technology, if you learn the craft it will only help no mater what you use.

@MattAitia 13 дней назад

Amen!

I started out shooting on film and used tungsten lights in the 90's. Didn't turn to the digital "darkside" until about 2008. For a while there I was unaware of the advancements being made in lighting. Yeah, tungsten lights get hot. You have to be aware of where you place them. I put a small tungsten light next to a curtain and the heat started to melt it almost setting it on fire.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Just trying to thrive out here in the digital darkside 🤧

@sheldonspock5566 5 месяцев назад

For what it's worth, I guessed A. Besides obvious color difference, image B looks way flatter, less contrasty, and therefore has less variation in tonality. Not entirely sure how this is correlated to the nature of the light source, as the test is too unrigorous though. Wanted to guess B cause seemed counterintuitive that A was colder, but IMHO image A has a more of that proverbial "organic" look to it, so to speak, which is why I picked it.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Interesting analysis!

@sheldonspock5566 5 месяцев назад

@@MattAitia what's the CRI rating of the LED used?

@orbitforcreators 5 месяцев назад

Nobody takes home gel scraps at the end of the day??? I used to have a closet full of gels I never payed a dime for. Whatever was up for grabs after production went home with me.

@samprstn 5 месяцев назад

Ha, I just shot my first short on 16mm film and we went for tungsten lights. It was a very different experience but i’m excited to see how the footage looks

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

That sounds like fun!

@directorparisholmes2023 5 месяцев назад

It’s good to keep one good Tungsten light in your kit. Mine happens to be a Arri 750 plus and a ETC Leko 750.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Love a good Leko!

@I.O.M. 5 месяцев назад

Too funny. When I worked at a rental shop 20 + years ago lights always went out with scrims and gels and always came back with them. Nobody tossed a gel unless it was unusable. Old lights are super easy to fix.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Ha! Times have changed

@alanimber 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for this test, Matt! Makes me want to get a used arri SoftBank kit again. Tungsten fixtures tend to bring out magenta in skin tones. That’s what gave it away for me. But there is a filmic quality to them. Can’t explain it

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

The only sad part is now the prices of these are going up in the used market and you can't randomly find them in trinket shops anymore. :( I remember seeing a set of 3 arri open heads in the trash a couple years ago and I regret not taking it so much.

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Most vintage stuff goes up in price these days lol

@vailant 5 месяцев назад

I used almost exclusively tungsten lights during my time in film school, I always set my white balance to 3200K, as I was told to do. I assume you did, but just to make sure, did you do both of A and B in 3200K?

@MattAitia 5 месяцев назад

Yes, both at 3200k.

@kylelowe 5 месяцев назад

Also, don’t forget! Bi-Color LEDs are usually more color accurate in 3200K than they are at 5600K.

Photons be Photons - I think with a bit of color tweaking in post it really makes no difference. Def more of the vinyl retro vibe than a real difference IMHO ...
