Always so good, Martin. You are a gifted teacher! Cheers from Maine!
Many thanks Peter! I'm trying 😁
This video blew my mind! big thanks from Boston
Cool. Really happy to hear that! Thank.
There's also one more benefit of bouncing the light off the ceiling... the surface your product is on will be evenly lit. If you use bounce card it will brighten the shadows but also the surface your product is standing on. That can be sometimes hard to remove in post. Great vid as usual 👍
Yes, very true. You have great control and all will look perfect.
Our studio has walls that are white. I am so used to bouncing off the ceiling. I shoot sometimes at an agency's studio which has brick and wood--which reflects very warm light. In that case I use a heavy diffusion over the set and place a soft box above the diffusion pointing down for a very soft, even fill for the hard shadow. The only complication can be that the light coming thru the soft box and the diffusion is often warmer than the bare bulb so I often need to use some gels to balance the color.
Very good tip. Thanks for the input.
Thanks!
Big thanks for the support!
Respect the highlights, embrace the shadows! Great video once again!
That's a new t-shirt! 😁 Appreciate it!
@@botvidsson haha yeah it is :D :D
Grymt bra!
Tack Mads! 😃
Fantastic as always, ty! Cinefoil is our mysterious friend :) Thoughts on the Hardbox from Profoto vs what you did here?
Thanks mate. The hard box is great and will basically do the same thing. I feel it’s too expensive though. The cinefoil will be a bit ruff to handle but it works and you’ll end up saving a huge bag of money 😁
Thank you for your efforts
My pleasure
Great video, every time I see your channel name I think of it saying: "I bought a vid son"
hahah! thanks for your videos.
Haha! Thanks man
It sounds like a Tina Turner song.... but.... You're simply "the best" 🎵🎵🎵
😁😁😁 thanks
Great video, thank you! If you aligned the flash tube not horizontally but vertically, the shadow might be even a little sharper.
Hehe, yes indeed! Good point.
how much of a difference would the bare bulb look like if you added black wrap to the end of the snoot, to make the opening even smaller? It should be more comparable to the projection light, right?
Yes. But you need a lot of power when you shoot like that.
That was amazing. Tnx alot😘😘😘😘😘😘🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for the great video! I was wondering which projection light you use?
I use a discontinued Profoto Multispot with a Dedolight projection attachment. Nowadays you need to go to other brand solutions for projection. Thanks
@@botvidsson thank you for your answer!
Cool as always. Could you tell me if I need get shadows from mask, exemple, simulate window on background I have to use bare light ?
Not sure I get what you mean Viktor. If you can create window gobo on the background with a bare bulb? Yes you can if you place the gobo close to the set and have the flash far away.
@@botvidsson thanks. Frankly say I have not gobo. I use a paper template.
Yes, that's also like a gobo
@@botvidsson as idea. If you have time or wish and make tutorial how make and. Interesting watch a tutorial how use color gel for coloring background.
Thanks.
You mean using color gels for backgrounds in general or something more specific?
Most affordable way for me to get hard shadows was using the sun!! 😂 But that's hard to do in the winter time hahaha! Having different tools in your tool box when dealing with a client that (most of the times...!) will change their mind on set is so valuable! Thanks for these tips Martin 💪
Indeed! We love the sun, don't we. 😁
Thank you for making this! I was looking for a solution to deal with double hadows. What reflector would you recommend?
I recommend no reflector on the flash to avoid double shadows
Thank you for getting back to me!
