If you were to dive into more detail, it may be worth looking to put it into a series behind a full filmmaking mini course ! Things like lighting angles and intensity for mood; color science for mood in conjunction with camera angles etc. Don't sell yourself short -- this video brings immense value and anything more is just a nice bonus !

    Another great one Victor. Although I know most of what you show on your videos, I really enjoy watching them. Still cannot understand how you re still on 11k subs. You deserve WAY more.
    On a side note, I work with a lot of models, like you do as well, and many times I feel it is hard to light them cinematically when they have "long" hair and it falls along side their face bc there always seems to be shadows whether soft or hard from the angle of the light, so many times I find myself having to light more frontal in order to avoid that. Hope that makes sense.

    • @VictorLaforteza
      @VictorLaforteza  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much! I find I’m liking the small community we’ve built up than too many subs. May be good in the long run but we’ll get there :) I find myself doing the same, revisiting old basic techniques as sometimes I forget that these matter more than a lot of stuff on set.
      Have you tried even bigger light sources? When I brought out the 8’x8’ with 600w light? Might be over kill lol but I find it’s more natural looking and softer “hair” shadows. But I do find smaller lights to have these issues and I tend to be more frontal as well with it!

    First things first. Those “narrative short film setup” shots 😭 I’m definitely motivated to attempt a similar look 🥺 To say those shots are cinematic would be an understatement 🤞🏾 an exceptional video once again. I would like to see you motivate some practical lights in another video if possible. From this video I learnt how and where to position motivated light 🙌🏾 Keep doing what you doing.

    • @VictorLaforteza
      @VictorLaforteza  Před rokem +1

      It was quite easy to pull off! I had an overhead light (just a standard table light) and then the smallrig high up at a 30 degree angle pointed at me with a soft box and grid! I will do a full lighting tutorial at some point once I get back to Canada! I left 90% of my gear there lol

    Hey again V! Just bought all of your LUT packages, thank you so much, can’t wait to use them. I have a smaller version of that light! It’s magnetic, and works very well. Do you mind telling me the font you used? I see it in a lot of your videos, and it reminds me of something for my childhood that I used to enjoy. Sound weird, I hope you understand!

      Hi Teddy! Hope you are liking the LUTs pretty well! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out on IG or join the discord 🙌🏽 the font is called NT Wagner. I totally get it! That’s why I use it too. Reminds me of something nostalgic when I was a kid as well.

    I had the 120 on my wish list, but I think it's better to take the full leap. I really like the handling with the app and more so if you are a filmmaker going solo around the world. What do you think of the lamp as a softbox?

    • @VictorLaforteza
      @VictorLaforteza  Před rokem +1

      Yeah I think with the 220b is good for all around use and it’ll be future proofing you a bit for future projects. Great for softbox, bounce, book light, or other lighting techniques. The higher the power of a light the better you can soften it as it can go through more diffusion

    SmallRig light looks like it works. Hello! I'm captain obvious lol! No but I do like the fact that they go from 2700K to 6500K. Which is a better range than I can say for the Aputure lights at the same sort of price point.
