    Always love the little "tricks and hacks" we can all use on real world sets. Thx for sharing.

    An old Kinoflo trick I like to use is aim the light slightly downward, and waterfall half soft frost/shower curtain/whatever rag down in front of it. Clip the material directly to the light. It makes the light extremely soft, similar to a large lantern. Works great with tube lights, and it’s a great way to soften up panel lights if you’re in a hurry, as well.

    @DanielJMears Před rokem +1

    Great tip! Looking at your test footage the pool noodle really brings down the specular highlights on the face making the overall effect much softer! I use cove lighting all the time, particularly for interviews, although I call it filling from the key side! I think it can really make the shape of a face pop! Keep up the great content!

    That's a sweet trick! Def will try it out. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, as always, (your work in incredible) and congrats on the engagement brother! I've been shooting weddings the last couple of years and it's been fun. Not sure if you've shot weddings, but soak up the day and be present with each other as much as you can.
    Truly is the fastest day of your life and likely the only day all your family and loved ones will be partying together in one place.
    Cheers!

    @JusttJC Před rokem

    I love this! Feel like I could confidently use my tubes as a key light with this. Might seem like a dumb question but what camera white balance would you have if the tubes are at 4000K + house lights. Been testing out shooting tungsten more but everything seems a bit too orange

  • @Manawaralam
    @Manawaralam Před rokem

    this is also cool, recently I used a muslin cloth and folded it round the tube in a way that the light from the tube falls into the fold of the cloath and it becomes a large softbox. the spill is crazy.. but it give much softer look in compact areas.

    • @MtZionMediaPro
      @MtZionMediaPro Před rokem

      If you're looking for cheap tube lights, but if you have a harbor freight tools near you they sell them for about 40 bucks for a 4 ft light! It only has two brightness levels, but that combined with the pool noodle is a great way to raise the exposure in a room with the soft light!
      They also sell Apache long cases that can fit about four of them in a pelican style hardcase for $170! GREAT tube lighting set up for cheap!!
