What is BLAIR-CG? STORM 80c & STORM 1000c In-Depth Walkthrough
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- We’ve released the STORM 80c and 1000c which comes with many innovative features standard to the STORM family, such as IP65 weather protection, ProLock Bowens Mount, and advanced control options. One of those features exclusive to the STORM C-series lineup is the ground-breaking BLAIR-CG light engine, which mixes blue, lime, amber, indigo, red, cyan, and green color chips to offer unmatched color performance with 90% of the Rec2020 color space.
But what does that look like? Ted and Tim go in-depth with the discussion about spectral fidelity and break down the tests that have been conducted to show how BLAIR-CG elevates the standard for film RGB LED lighting everywhere. In this walkthrough, we’ll cover what BLAIR-CG is, how it compares to traditional RGB light engines on the market currently, and what it means for filmmaking.

The best lights ever!! & Such a fun shoot.❤️ (I’m the girl in the red dress 💃🏼)
@@habcast3978 As someone who has worked with traditional tungsten & fluorescent I think Aputure’s new products are better. They looked amazing and were so much more time efficient and easier to use. Definitely worth it to save some time and $.
@@habcast3978 As someone who has used Tungsten & fluorescent I still like their new products more. It was way more time efficient and easy to use. Plus it gave basically the same look. I highly recommend their lights
@@habcast3978 Also for this shoot, they didn’t use gels on their new products to get these results. It was pretty cool!
The crazy thing about this video is that years ago I was told by my Gaffer to watch that Indy Mogul video about RGBLED lighting and gels 2:59. It was a very informative video and I learned A lot about LED coloured lights from that. Fast forward to this video they reference that same video about six years ago and now RGBLED lighting has completely transformed. I love how film Always keeps evolving.
The new lights look amazing! Bravo. The color grading of the video is unfortunately not quite so amazing. Please let me know if you'd like help improving that.
Those 80c's are gonna be real weapons.. Hope you guys are hard at work on filling out the STORM series in the 300-600 areas too!
Tim Kang is brilliant. Him and Mitch Gross joining Aputure has made this company so amazing. A big brilliant thank you to them for this new tech.
Ted! I had no idea you were a co-founder! I thought you were just a happy employee of the brand from your many many awesome videos. Im even more in love with the brand now (been using and still using some Amaran AL-528W's from what maybe 15 years ago?!) :D Keep up the amazing work and thank you for all you do!
I’ve been waiting for Aputure to finally make REAL competitors to Nanlite’s 900c and 60c. Excited to see the side by sides with those lights
Ted, I can't remember when I have been more excited about a new light than these. So looking forward to using the Storm 80c and all the cool accessories. Great job!
Absolute quality additions, I can't wait to pick these up 🎉👏
Can't wait until we get a Nova with this tech! NEED THIS for my cyc wall!
Great new lights, as always! Especially a new smaller light with Aputures perfect build-quality 😃
Good to see "Ted...Talk." LOL!!!
Given the subject matter of this video, the editor probably wanted to start flipping tables when they realized that the color of the medium and close-up shots weren't matching.
I thought the same thing.
300 and 600's next please!
No
Very cool, and well done!
Amazing tech, awkward high five
Amazing…. Thank you 🙏🏾
I picked up two 80c lights.... When can we expect the spotlight for it?
i have already got 60x, and 100x onwards every light. thinking to get 80c, need comparison videos interms of output and differences
please pretty please release the STORM 600x next
Such a good product presentation. 🙌
Yes!!! Let’s gooo
I’m excited to watch this, but already feeling: “why is there no middle of the road in-between powered fixture?” Congratulations on all your big developments!
600C mk2 released earlier this year, so it will take time for this.
@@Aputure-Tim_S_Kang I know there may be fear to cannibalize the 600c mk2, but I believe it needs to be done. If there is BLAIR-CG in this range, it is tempting to buy units to fill out the entire range for Owner-Ops. I like many, hesitate because I have 1200d's when I need punch. I have nanlite 60c's for when I need little specials (especially with spotlights). It is tempting to dump all of these and get a full BLAIR package, if it existed, but instead I will wait until there is a mid-range BLAIR unit because I'm not going to mix in the old tech of the 600c. Another important note, can the mid-range BLAIR-CG please have the ballast and control built in? I think having a separate ballast is unnecessary until it is a much more powerful and heavy light. The Prolycht 675 was excellent for this reason - a separate ballast is a waste of time on set until we get to big lights. Unless of course you have a rare powerful head lightweight combo - for instance, the original nanlite forza 500 mk1 was this exceptional lightweight head with punch. Thanks for all you're doing to push the light quality forward in our industry! Best of luck.
@@EffectiveCommunications Two arguments people make against an all-in-one light.
1 - Heavier light means beefier junior-pin stands. For a mid-sized light many prefer a baby pin stand.
2 - Difficulty running off batteries. Lots of clients enjoy sticking a couple bricks on the ballast for easy mobility. You could stick a battery adapter on the stand and run this to the lamp head, but it will be far less convenient.
We went through this same dilemma when I was at Prolycht. Ultimately the design of the 675 was such that the lamp head was going to be pretty heavy even if the ballast wasn’t in it, so that sealed the deal to me by removing one of the two above arguments. And as much as many people appreciated that design there were plenty more who complained because of the reasons I just gave. There’s logic on both sides.
@@mitchgross592 indeed both designs have logic. You have more idea where the customer base is landing at large. Perhaps you have enough market share to make two models? I generally don’t like the idea of draining batteries in less than an hour (neither do the longevity of the batteries), so something like a lightweight / boom-able 300-400 with separate ballast that runs off two v mount or gold mount - 26v and 14v and a 600 that has the ballast in the head? I am definitely in the world of ecoflow battery with a/c inverter when I get to bigger units when I need portable power (or gas generator). Thanks for looking into it!
@ I’ll just say that we have many future lights on the calendar although there can be multiple reasons for any of them to be delayed or modified.
Sweet!!
I’ll say Ted & Tim’s skin look noticeably good, cant wait to try these out
Whoohoo!!!!
Yay!
hey Ted
Next aputure marketing department will be telling us they invented the wheel…
They did it was their first product actually
Or maybe just that we perfected it.
this mean that we dont have to paint the backrounnd?
It’s a lot faster to light the background in color than it is to paint it! Cheaper too!
Maaann can I get red or blue out of this is all we need to know 😂
DONT GET RID OF YOUR GELS JUST IN CASE
Man the Ai audio cleanup in the video is so bad. Just leave the hum or echo or whatever you were trying to remove. Ted sounds like a robot.
