    There's also one more benefit of bouncing the light off the ceiling... the surface your product is on will be evenly lit. If you use bounce card it will brighten the shadows but also the surface your product is standing on. That can be sometimes hard to remove in post. Great vid as usual 👍

    • @botvidsson
      @botvidsson  10 месяцев назад

      Yes, very true. You have great control and all will look perfect.

    Our studio has walls that are white. I am so used to bouncing off the ceiling. I shoot sometimes at an agency's studio which has brick and wood--which reflects very warm light. In that case I use a heavy diffusion over the set and place a soft box above the diffusion pointing down for a very soft, even fill for the hard shadow. The only complication can be that the light coming thru the soft box and the diffusion is often warmer than the bare bulb so I often need to use some gels to balance the color.

    Fantastic as always, ty! Cinefoil is our mysterious friend :) Thoughts on the Hardbox from Profoto vs what you did here?

    • @botvidsson
      @botvidsson  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks mate. The hard box is great and will basically do the same thing. I feel it’s too expensive though. The cinefoil will be a bit ruff to handle but it works and you’ll end up saving a huge bag of money 😁

    how much of a difference would the bare bulb look like if you added black wrap to the end of the snoot, to make the opening even smaller? It should be more comparable to the projection light, right?

    • @botvidsson
      @botvidsson  29 дней назад +1

      Yes. But you need a lot of power when you shoot like that.

    • @botvidsson
      @botvidsson  10 месяцев назад

      Not sure I get what you mean Viktor. If you can create window gobo on the background with a bare bulb? Yes you can if you place the gobo close to the set and have the flash far away.

    Most affordable way for me to get hard shadows was using the sun!! 😂 But that's hard to do in the winter time hahaha! Having different tools in your tool box when dealing with a client that (most of the times...!) will change their mind on set is so valuable! Thanks for these tips Martin 💪
