In most instances haha, it just looks better to my eye! The 6K Pro has a bunch of advantages over it with the built in ND's, BRAW, resolution, slow motion, screen... but I always feel way more satisfied when I shoot something and get it into Davinci on older BM cams. Not sure why!
Your videos are really amazing. The information and the way you present it, makes it really simple to not only learn but understand with visual representations. Thanks for creating!
You've been my main source for lighting practices for so long, and I've been going back to rewatch the older videos. I just DP'd a student short and used your mirror technique behind blinds. People didn't believe me but it worked like a charm.
Thank you so much - it's great that you're still rewatching the older ones, I always try to make sure my videos have rewatch value so I'm happy to hear it! And it's also awesome to hear you used that mirror technique!
I wonder if you used a grid and/or angled the tube at 4:48 you could have replicated the fall off coming thru the window. I have a bunch of tube lights and w grids you can get a lot of different looks in addition to the ones you showed.
Your content is amazing, every video I watch I feel like I'm learning a lot. I work as a 3D lighting Artist and focusing on traditional cinematography has helped me a lot
My Pavotube 30x's are probably the most useful and used lights since I bought them last year. As cool as this is I don't know how I would transport a 6ft tube light cause the whole point for me is convenience and ease of use.
Haha yeah it is a strange balance - the tubes are long but they are still tubes, so you only have the deal with length and not width. And they're both compact enough to fit into tight spaces, yet long enough to have more coverage. Like I said a strange balance!! But very useful!
Reminds me of being a gaffer when kino 4x tubes were all the craze Great soft sources in a tight space In my usual kit I run with two 4' RGB tubes Very versatile
Great suggestions as usual. I have several tube lights varying from 12-inches to 18-inches. Some are bi-color and some are RGBW. I actually have two 5-foot long tube lights I bought some time ago for lighting a green screen. But, I'm sure if they are daylight or simple fluorescent type lights. I'll have to check them. It's a great idea to invest in more tube lights. You can never go wrong.
Absolutely, it's always good to have a bunch of tubes in your kit as they can be very easy to throw up and light something that might not be very easy to light with another type of fixture!
Rob, do you prefer the wrap the 3 setup lighting of cove lighting does or the wrap you can achieve with tube lights? I assume that with 3 lights it's more smooth the wrapping and it's more like Roger Deakins' style but do you think there's a big difference?
You would have more control over the graduation when bouncing the light with the "cove" as you can control each light separately - but you'd also take up more space. Although with the new pixel tubes, I'm not sure if you're able to like, split the tube into 3 different power levels if that makes sense? With a bit of power that would be an easy "cove" light but with the space saving a tube gives you!
I've fit dolly track tubes in my car of similar length, but it has a slightly longer boot/trunk than some cars! Best way to test is to jump in your car with a tape measure and double check! Thank you Steven!
@@RobEllisCinematographer Yes, your tutorials are very explanatory. You're doing it differently, which makes it very understandable and not to fear the techniques of lighting compared to others here on RU-vid.
This was shot on 3 cameras! But I usually shoot some flavour of Raw - in this case I shot BRAW on the Pocket 6K Pro and CinemaDNG on 2 older Blackmagic cameras (BMCC 2.5K and Blackmagic Production Camera 4K). Then I just export to Quicktime H265 in Davinci, I don't change anything from the auto settings :)
Yeah the barn doors are useful on the LC500R are useful - I think Godox are bringing out a grid for the TL180 though, so that will help to control spill too!
@@RobEllisCinematographer massively, mate. yes. i actually bought the TL-30 only a week ago after losing the ML-60Bi at a shoot near christmas. starting down the tube route...
