Thanks for sharing! Not enough cinematographers talk about those bald spots. Before using Rogaine, you could have used my bald spot as a reflector. I could have lit up a room!
I’m working on growing my bald spot. Did Rogaine do the trick for you? Have some before and after?
I treat balding like I treat light the face. Make it soft and natural.
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Great work! Liked seeing how you thought about getting multiple looks out of one single space. Keep it up! - from DP based in Oakland, CA
Hey! Thanks so much! Two walls of a single space, lol. I will keep them coming.
Love the content! super helpful for a young video guy
Glad to hear it! I will keep them coming!
perfect
Thank you!
Beautiful frames Piotr!
The more documentaries I shoot, the better I like simple setups like this. It can be easy to go nuts with lighting and for certain projects, that is needed. But for documentaries, I much prefer matching your lighting to just enhance what is there.
Thank you! Just turning off the overhead lights can result in a grip van exploding onto a set. It is not always needed. That is why I stayed smaller with my van setup.
Inspiring videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Looks really nice, simple is best, excellent ratio and key angle.
Big setups are fun, until they are not. Appreciate the positive feedback!
Super nice setup! Great use of shadows. Final product is 🔥🔥
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Sweet setup! Final images looked clean.
Glad you like them!
very useful content, cheers sir.
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!
I enjoy your posts. I am a DP in a medical setting. Shoot frequently in very tight spaces. Using a softbox is rather cumbersome, I use a Genaray Square Sun 1x1 Soft Flood Bi-Color LED Light Panel. It's heavy but takes up a lot less real-estate. I also have 2 smaller Neewer panel leds. Use one as a backlight and the other as a fill. I'm roaming hospital corridors, need to have everything in a small package. The Genaray gives a nice look. I would prefer my Aputure 300's, but they're not practical.
Thanks so much for watching! It takes time to dial in a setup for your use case. But when it finally comes together, it is magic. I do a lot of small dental shoots and have to keep kit small.
"If you see anything that could be improved upon" those windshield wipers sound horrible, gotta fix those if you want your interviews to look better! :P
Finally somebody caught the sound effect I added!
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks balding man! 🙌🏾
Always!
These days , one key light , Intellytech mega 6,if room , or Astra lite panels with large DoP Choice soft box , fold out negative fill . No hair lights , fill , eye light etc . Sigma Art DGDN 35 /50 F1.4 . Some times Sig 50 and Sony 85.
I avoided hair lights for so long. But started back with a tube or mat light. The tubes deploy so quick. I don’t like to use a fill light, always bounce or negative. Only time I need a fill is very wide shots.
Seems we shoot very similar style.
@@PDMokry I have been thinking to get some tube lights , for a very subtle back light if needed . As you say they are easy to deploy .. The Mega 6 was a recent ish purchase , but yeah tube lights would probably be the next in the lighting dept .
@@robinprobyn1971 I just got the Amaran T2C in and will likely have it in future videos, I will be sure to talk about them.
@@PDMokry Just googled them , look good , yes please write up when you use them sir
@@robinprobyn1971 I'm on it!
My current setup is 300D II and a P2C tube for hair. Also have a 100x for creating spill or shapes on the background walls if they are not intresting.
I do have my eye on the 600c also as a single light. Some situations I would love to have bicolor, with high output.
Currently looking for some flags and floppys. I think I saw your video where you showed some that have velcro on the floppy so they don't fall. What brand was that and would you recommend them? Looking for 24x36, since I have a small car.
That is a pretty good setup! I lean on my 600C for mixed lighting situations, it makes it so easy.
I don’t know they make floppys that small, but I know Matthews makes a 40”x40” like I use.
One questions, not camera related. Why did you remove the entire cap blue to the windshield washer fluid container?
One hand for phone and the other for fluid. No third hand to hold cap open.
@@PDMokry 🤣🤣
If I could ask, what are your camera settings for the FX6? S-log 3, I'm guessing, anything else you're doing to get the look?
I am doing 180 shutter, 23.98 FPS, 10bit 4:2:2, Slog-3, 800iso and exposing for skin tones.
