      I wouldnt call aputure budget lights.. they are very high quality lights and while def more affordable than some other companies, the term budget is sorta disingenuous. Budget = cheaper in cost and this cheaper in quality... Aputure is a disruptive lighting company.

    Professor Brady, I've got a question for you. I'm in process of writing a horror film which I intend to shoot as well. Now considering that I fall into the "no-budget filmmaker" category, I'll be using regular store bought lights to light my entire film.
    So here are my questions:
    1. LIGHTING: Should I light my scene such that it's "well-lit" on location and then add the gloomy horror look in post production during the color grade, or light the scene on location as close to the intended final product? What do you think is the best approach as a "no-budget" filmmaker? I'm using an A73 to shoot.
    2: WHITE BALANCE: As a rule, I usually set the white balance to day light(5600K) as this is as close to what the human eye sees. Is this a good approach? I've noticed that some shoot at 6000/7000K to get the blueish tinge, but it looks really unnatural to me eye.
    Professor It would really mean the world to me if you could make a video with guidelines that one can use when shooting a horror film. I've already watched one of your horror-tutorial videos but I'd appreciate a slightly detailed tutorial that looks into the many types of typical scenes that can be seen in a horror movie.
    Hope everything is well with you Professor Brady! I know that you are a busy man so I understand if this request is too much of an ask! Regardless, thank you for all that you do for the amateur filmmaking community.

    • @robjackson9364
      @robjackson9364 2 года назад

      @@BradyBessette Thanks for responding. I was referring to the impact combo boom stand that is aluminum, ultra light weight and versatile but load capacity fully extended is limited to 3lbs. After further research you’re using the impact boom arm that is steel, attaches to c-stands/junior/etc. and holds up to 8lbs.
      If the F22C with the mount and soft box is 6lbs+ the steel version is the way to go. I was hoping I could go ultra lightweight with my current boom stands (travel a lot to film) and maybe one solution is making an x bracket out of bambo and zip tying diffusion to the panels haha!

    I’m adding to my light inventory. I already had two Pixel led panel lights, I could substitute those for the F22 as a key light if I chose to recreate this shot. I just purchased a GVM SD300B Pro and the GVM 80w. Could I substitute those for the 600 and the 300 if I shot a little later in the evening or at golden hour? It’s just a thought, I’ll get the GVM 400 or 650 if business determines I should

The candles on the wall aren’t bright enough to be the motivation. And the light to dark contrast on her face isn’t soft enough for the light bouncing off of the wall to be the motivation. Maybe all it needed was a practical somewhere closer.
