    Thank you! For those on a budget (like myself) should a key light be the first to consider when shopping? I like the m20c but sounds like you won’t get much from that if it’s your single light source.

    • @foxandcrowncreative

      Absolutely, I'm glad the video could help! I think looking into your key light is a great start. The M20C has some power for a small 20W light, but for more output and flexibility I personally feel like the Molus X60 offers a lot of value for the price. I've used it as a key in many situations, but it's also bi-color, RGB and has a handful of lighting effects as well. It's extremely bright for a 60W light, and you can either plug it in or use the battery grip making it portable, which can give you a wide range of ways that you can use it.
      This would be my recommendation if you are looking for a great light that can go a long way at a great price point. Definitely my favorite 60W light personally.
      I hope this helps! Thank you for watching the video and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers!

    Great content mate 🙏. Did you ever encounter conflicting light sources, that causes horrible color reproduction in camera. Or have you ever filmed in PAL regions with NTSC settings? In scenarios where you had to mix lights in a semi-controlled environment.

    • @foxandcrowncreative
      @foxandcrowncreative  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you so much I really appreciate that a lot! That's a great question. I haven't had the opportunity to film NTSC in PAL regions yet. But I have had many situations where I have to find creative solutions for conflicting light sources. For me, I like to start by removing as much of those conflicting light sources as I can, then emulate the ambient light if possible. For example, if I have florescent lights in the room and I like that look for the scene, then I will usually turn those off, close the curtains and then use tube lights to emulate the florescent lights, and have full control over them. I'll also use dimmers if a light is too bright. There have been situations when I'm filming in a room where I'm unable to turn the lights off in the room, so I actually keep blackout curtains with me on set so the crew can use it to block out that light when needed.
      These are just a few examples and there are many ways to remedy an issue with conflicting lights, but I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching the video and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers!

    great video, kighting is very important lol...im realizing that rn...i have the small rig rc60b and its great for indoors but weak for outdoors..do you think this g200 will be great for both?

    • @foxandcrowncreative
      @foxandcrowncreative  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you so much, I really appreciate that a lot! That's a great question for sure. It really depends on the scene. If you are filming at blue hour, or you're using it as an accent or hair light for example, then the G200 could work really great outdoors, but in a lot of cases lighting a scene outside can be a bit tricky. For me personally, when I'm filming a scene outdoors, I like to start with modifying the natural light first, using things like diffusion and negative fill, then bring in additional light to enhance the scene a little more. I'm actually working on a video about this topic, but Epic Light Media did a great video on this a few years ago. I've added the link to the video below.

      With that said though, the G200 is a pretty powerful light. It has the ability to go from a 200W to a 300W. The new G300 has the same feature, but it goes from a 300W light to a 500W. Both of these lights are super bright and could work really well for most lighting situations for indoor and outdoor scenes.
      I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching the video and for reaching out, it truly means a lot. Cheers, my friend!

      You need at least a 500-600w to be useful outdoors, but if you have the sun, a reflector is a much better and easier choice to add light somewhere
