I am writing this even before I finished watching the video. One of the most informative yet easy to understand tutorial out there. Feeling blessed after being on internet learning film making for years. Thank you so very much brother.
You DA man, wolfcrow. I love your videos. A lot of people on YT make videos about filmmaking, this and that, but most of them are a lot of "flash", they really don't know what they are talking about to the level you are. You understand the tech stuff at a high level, you know film history, you know film theory etc. Plus you're a working filmmaker so you have years of practice on top of all this. So, there's a lot to love about your channel and a lot to be learned because the person teaching (you) really knows his stuff. Respect.
Always blown away by the amount of detail you go in to when breaking down large concepts like in this video here. Mere exposure to terms like "Banks," HMI, Tungsten Halogen, Tungsten etc. that you provided in this video cleared up a lot of my confusion with the tech, really appreciate the detail you go in to which keeps me coming back to your videos. Keep it up brother.
You're vids are all info and very little entertainment. This is a compliment as most of the popular channels are all entertainment and very little knowledge. You win. Great stuff.
Another excellent video, thank you. Lately I've been studying many of the published comments by famed cinematographer Roger Deakins. He talks often of his lighting techniques on set and I was GREATLY surprised to learn that he frequently uses regular household incandescent lightbulbs bought at Home Depot, 40watt to 100 watt bulbs, yikes. And to top it off he'll also pick up a batch of regular household fluorescent tubes (he prefers these to the much more expensive Kino-Flo flourescents). And he's not using these lights for practicals necessarily, but to light the set, even key lighting. He has built frames and rigging systems to accept a dozen or more small incandescents and fluorescents , thus turning these contraptions into a broad and soft light source. He controls the lighting output with a simpler dimmer switch, often turning down the wattage to increase warmth. Sometimes he'll use the household lights totally in a scene, other times mixing with traditional cinema lights. Interesting to say the least imo. Click links below to see stills from sets, that's Roger Deakins in first linkspointing toward the ceiling at one of his DIY ring lights, just a simple circular frame with household bulbs. 4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Y1HFdTnE0g/UajKrs2K3BI/AAAAAAAACJ4/CrAaL-65h6k/s1600/ac0109_RR_13.jpg Here he lights a room on location with strings and strings of household bulbs. i.imgur.com/Z2fMPlr.jpg Fluorescents lighting set of movie SkyFall, note tubes hanging from ceiling in background. Deakins stated that in this scene with "M" at her desk, it was lit with a very similar fluorescent rig as seen in background ceiling. www.joblo.com/video/media/screenshot/new-skyfall-production-videoblog.jpg
This was a Great overview of the light types. I’m really digging into the understanding and advantages versus disadvantages and this was right on time.
An awesome overview indeed, but I thought you missed one of the most recent and important light systems: Remote Phosphor Lighting -- CINEO. It's simply amazing what you can do with them. Nonetheless, your overview was awesome. Cheers!
This is still one of the best overviews around! However, I got the impression that you grouped HMI's along with the "tungsten halogen" fixtures. Though there is a halogen (iodine as the name implies), I do believe the tungsten filament is missing.
Hi Sareesh, Great content (I've been binge watching your channel since I found it hehe) very thorough video. I'd love to see an updated version, even though you've covered very well the subject I'm guessing there are some new tech gadgets to make our lives easier by now
nice video.. very informative, presented very well... for outdoor shoots .. what are the options for power sources for these lights ..maybe a video on that ?
Excellent as usual. Since I'm in Chennai and frugal, I'm interested in the sofities you mentioned, that I can put two halogen and a softbox. Can you share info on the make and where to get softies, softbox and honeycomb you recommend. Regards
@wolfcrow. Sareesh, is there a workaround for using LEDs with higher shutterspeed without getting the shutter lag effect? If so, what is it? I still hang on to my lowel creator kit but i hate having to wait to cool them off. Esp after a long day of shooting. Love your unapolgetics lol keep up the great work.
I think it would of been better if you separate the lighting system in to two categories of 1. Light fixtures and 2. Light sources and then mix and match them showing how can they be used to serve different purpose.
Good information.I regulated watched your tutorial.I have redhead-light its very nice but its bulb not available in market.Can you guid me where can i get it

This is a really good video 👌
Excellent as usual.

Can you share info on the make and where to get softies, softbox and honeycomb you recommend.

I bought mine from Mumbai, some shop in Lohar Chawl. There's only one shop so you'll have to ask around.
wolfcrow thanks

@wolfcrow. Sareesh, is there a workaround for using LEDs with higher shutterspeed without getting the shutter lag effect? If so, what is it? I still hang on to my lowel creator kit but i hate having to wait to cool them off. Esp after a long day of shooting. Love your unapolgetics lol keep up the great work.
Use really expensive LED lights!
wolfcrow lol thanks! Any recommendations? Is there a specific type?

Quick question, do you think the Ice Light is worth it at $500 (I think that's the holiday promotion price)?
Will it make you $1,000 extra in one year? If no, then probably not.
