Another great video, thanks so much for sharing! As I said earlier, a channel I've been looking for a while, I loved giving the suggestion on the topic! You are great, and you really read the messages from the followers, thank you!
Thank you so much for the suggestion, I was really pleased to be able to make something that helps you. If you have any more topics you’d like me to explore, or further questions, always feel free to reach out. I read every comment.
I know! It surprised me too. When I was researching this video, the research indicated that “fresnels” (theatre fresnels I assume, not film fixtures) are focused at full spot, and I almost reported it as such in the video. This of course makes sense in a theatrical context, as those fixtures are designed for longer throws. But then when I tested it, every single film lamp and fresnel attachment I had access to was harder at full flood, which makes the most sense in a film lighting context. So it can go either way, it just depends on the design and calibration of the fixture and specific fresnel lens.
Yes, it’s a tricky one and more of a category of light than a name. Different manufacturers give them different names. In tungsten lights, Redheads (800w) and blondes/blondies (2000w) are a common terms used. These lights I’m showing are Arri 800/750’s. Mole-Richardson name some of their lights open face. For these older style tungsten lights, you’ll want to look on the used market predominantly.
@@CreativePathFilms I will look at this further, it is very interesting. i try to get 4-5 lamps to start with. As I see it, there is no way around tungsten lamps. Or do you think that you can shoot a movie completely with LEDs (Apurture c120d II or Godox SL 200 II)? I have 2 good offers for both led lamps, but I fear that it is not possible to get the light as strong as a Fresnel lamp. Or rather, the look that makes up the beautiful old films is probably difficult to achieve with LEDs.
It’s certainly possible, most productions use LED lights these days and the aputure and godox lights are very popular. You can always mix and match. If you have some CTO/CTB gels, you can mix tungsten with daylight lights. Depends on what you’re going for and the needs of your shoot.
Hi! Thanks for your question. A point source is a light source that emits light from a small single point, such as a bulb or LED chip. This is unlike an LED panel, which is a larger, more spread out source of light. Hope that helps!
Ohh, thank you so much for the beautiful explanation, much helpful😊 Also, my humble request, can you please make a video on the situations, like when to use particular type of light
Hey thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. Im not sure how this could be the case, the audio was recorded direct to camera and we haven’t adjusted the sync of the clips at all. I’m curious to know if anyone else is seeing/hearing what you’re seeing/hearing? I can’t see any obvious issues at our end when playing back the video…but then again we produced it, so…🤷🏻♂️
6:27 - love it! 🤗
Haha, thank you 😅

7:40 - so full spot is actually softer than full flood? Crazy!

Concise. this was awesome
Thank you! 🙏🏼
amazing video thank you!
@@plasebox my pleasure, thank you for watching!
Great vid! Simple and effective.
Thank you! 😊
Great video, Thank you ! What is the best choice between Read Head and Fresnel when you want to do a Split Lighting on a face in your opinion ?
Thank you! Fresnel in my opinion, you’ll get much cleaner results, more even illumination and more control of your beam with less spill.
@@CreativePathFilms Ok thank you very much
Thanks for the great video!!
Thank you! 😊
Great job, Thank you.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it!
Where does the ellipsoidal fit in here?
I didn’t cover Ellipsoidals in this video, but will be in the future 😊
Currently playing with fresnels for the first time. Great video, info packed, relevant and well paced. Subbed
Thanks Joseph! Glad you found it useful!!
Nice Video, if i search for open face lights, i can only find mountainbike helmets. is there a Professional name for these kind of lights?

Thank you! 🙌🏾
You’re very welcome Carl III 😊🙏🏼
Sir could you please explain a point source
Hi! Thanks for your question.
A point source is a light source that emits light from a small single point, such as a bulb or LED chip.
This is unlike an LED panel, which is a larger, more spread out source of light.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
With your request, I’ll see what I can do!
Given you show a Dedolight @1.13, then surely you know what they are and what they can do, and how much better they are.
I do, I adore them. But as they use a completely different type of lens, they’re a topic for another video.
@@CreativePathFilms I adore them to. I look forward to that "series" of videos. There's so much to talk about.
Augustin Jean Fresnel not "Fernel" :P
Haha, Aussie Aussie Aussie!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘 🤪
Am I the only one who notices his lip sync is way off?

@@CreativePathFilms Sound seems fine to me..
@mrgreenfull3897 thanks for chiming in to confirm.
Might be a latency issue on your end. I don't see any issue.

Thanks so much for sharing!
My pleasure!
