Definitely don’t want a flare on subjects face.
Also if you use two avenger 13’ stands with a leveling leg, you can fly the scrim with the stands at an angle and gives you a lot more room for wider shots.
Yeah the flare in the face was an accident for sure! I didn't see it until I got home in post production,
And NICE! I'll definitely check out the stands! I need some! @MojoPapiFPV
@@ChrisFranklinJr They're great but you won't be able to use the normal ears, so you might have to rig with mafer clamps.
Honestly wouldn't have posted any vision with that flare across the interviewee's face - detracts considerably from how you're trying to position yourself... Sucks that you couldn't see it on the day for sure, but even though it's "just an example for YT" I would've cut around it, or just presented in cam stills when the flare wasn't present in the shot (**there was a moment later on in the sample vision that someone had obviously moved across the light path and the flare had disappeared). Perhaps you could have just thrown in some A/B cam still frames into your edit as side by sides for a quick example, and perhaps as a device to focussed on how the light looks / exposure levels are controlled in various areas of the image - this'd help distract from why you're not actually showing the "flared" live action vision too.
Nice video aside from the flare.
@@myvideoguy That's a fair thought! Thank you so much for the feedback! I have a review on the lenses coming up where I will be using some of the interview footage so I will definitely take this into consideration! Thanks!
Amazing before and after!
This is the channel! I found my channel. Thank you for posting!
I picked this badboy up a few weeks ago, I needed something to combat the sun and this helped a friggen TON.
Great stuff dude.
Underrated content once again!
You can also use a 6x6, 8x8 Double Net behind your subject. It will cut the background by 2 stops. Helps when keying your subject with lower wattage lights. Also if you ever find your combos sinking into the grass, one trick is to use square heavy duty drain covers under each stand leg.
Love this!!
Not sure about double net prices, but you can use chiffon which seems to cut 3 stops of light :D.
And is ~$5 for 7x5 feet piece.
But that's budget and DIY solution.
@@JoATTech I'm so going to try that. 6x6 double net is $200 and 8x8 $500. Those are sewn & grommet set up for frames. So yes, $5 compared to $500. Thanks for the tip
@@RobertJohnPhotography This is actually @MarkusPix idea. He used just regular cheap clamps to clamp chiffon to 8x8 (or bigger frame). Guess it's not the way to show for the client shoot :D.
I used double sided tape to glue it to the window frame and it worked fine (although I should use a bit more tape :)).
Black chiffon came in ~3 stops.
I have bought 3 different colors too, but haven't tried them yet :D.
@@JoATTech Funny, I'm pretty sure Markus is the one who designed and used my pictures of Guns N' Roses on their pinball machine. He's a good guy and like how he shows ways of doing things for starting out photographers & Videographers. We both come from the same time period in 1980's Hollywood.
Nice looking volume, the flare on the person's face is too distracting though.
Thanks!! And yeah the flare across the was an accident. I wanted a flare because we are filming anamorphic but didn’t see that it was right across talents face until I got home in post.
We usually have a directors monitor on set to check for things like that, but since this was for RUclips, we didn’t! Thanks again though!
DOPE!!!!!
literally exactly what i needed!
Happy to help!!
Killer man!!! so good!
Ayyye! Thanks!!
Excellent video man , very informative thx.
Ayye!! Happy to help!
Great video with great advice! Definitely need to put up a 600W light, the big deadcat and a scrim on the shopping list 💯🙏🏼
Absolutely!! Very very helpful!
solid vid. i was going down the light trap. I went from some 40w to a Amaran 100x(on sale) to a Ulanzi 200W (pre prod discount). I know I need a powerful light for outside so ill be looking at 600 and up. solid advice
I have that light it’s awesome 🙌🏿
Crazy good for the price!!
Well, framing first ( i hate those too offset look interviews, 90% of the time, the interviewer should stand right next to the camera to get the interviewee looking just a tiny bit off the camera. That’s basics. Then lighting, and often times, diffusion, wise location choice and blocking/bouncing is the key. Competing with the sun using even using a 600W LED brings a ton of using and not necessarily the most pleasant look. Another day you might need a 1.2K or more. My 2 cents
Overall great video, but dang that backlight got you with the flare. Hard to catch on set sometimes but definitely should've had some barn doors to cut the spill.
The flare was intentional since I was testing some new anamorphic lenses that I’m making a video on; the placement of the flare WAS NOT. I didn’t mean for it to cut across his face but we just didn’t see it in camera. Plus it was 98 degrees outside and I was about to pass out 😂
@@ChrisFranklinJr That humid Mississippi heat. I live in Arizona so it’s just a dry 110-degrees of suck a few months out of the year.
@@evanthecameraman mann Mississippi air feels THICC!
Fantastic video with so much helpful knowledge. I was wondering what was your method on powering those powerful lights when outside away from outlets.
Excellent question! We keep 200 feet of extention cords on us at all time. But if that's not an option either, the light actually takes V-Mount batteries as well! I currently use the SmallRig 212 V mount. Absolutely insane battery.
@@ChrisFranklinJr a 212 V Mount will power the 600w light? For how long? I assume you are using multiple… that’s a nice solution when AC isn’t an option. :)
@@IntoTheLightCreative I 100% use multiple but the 212 goes on the 600w with another V mount for sure so I can't give you an exact output per battery! But most of the time I only need them for an hour! But I can set it up in my office and just let it run to get an exact number!
4:30 is your sand bags touch the ground.. the weights not on your stands.. keep 'em off the ground & your stands rock steady lad!
40 bucks for an assistant? 😂bruh
For a young man to join the crew for the sole purpose of holding a stand? I don’t disagree with him.
Seriously! I would stand in one spot for $40/hour no problem. Just someone to hold the scrim in place.
I earn less in 2nd world country as IT specialist with 30 years experience ... so don't complain. I can be assistant for that money any day :D If this is per hour :D
I wonder, do you mean it's too much or too low?
40$ an hour is insane to pay someone to stand. They'd probably be on their phone the whole time too
Great vid. As someone looking at investing in a scrim frame that isn't super expensive I'm wondering if this one can be broken up into smaller dimensions like 4' x 4' or 6' x 6', or can it only be used as an 8' x 8'? Also where do you buy your materials from for your frames?
Does the $3K-$5k usually include editing too?
This looks great, thank you for the outdoor tips. I tried recording something earlier this year, and it was terrible outside. I can see now that I have to have some form of flag, even though it seems like a giant hassle.
I would really like to hear what you think of those Remus Anamorphics in a future video; they look so interesting.
Kind regards from Denmark,
Jørgen
The original flag I used was a 4'x3' Mathews Black Flag I believe. Very Handy when you need a quick sun block.
And absolutely! Working on a video now. I have been testing them for MONTHS at this point! Wanted to give them a real run through!
Cheers! Thanks for dropping in!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Awesome! I look forward to seeing the video.
Can you add a bit about using ND-filters with the lenses? I have seen some PL-adapters with ND-filters, and I would love to know how you use them :)
Kind Regards
Jørgen
@@jorgenbjorn I can definitely do that! I currently use the Polar Pro Basecamp Mattebox for most scenarios. None of my PL adapters have drop in filter slots yet but I want some!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Awesome thank you so much!
Internal ND's and open gate on a possible A7S IV would be killer. It would be the only features I would want :P
I do not have very good experience with this particular light :D. I recommend doing some due diligence before investing in this light.
And for interviews like that I would recommend Godox F600Bi, which has double or triple the output as this GVM 650B with modifier, although is less flexible for other applications.
Really?! Hey I’m always down to check out new gear! Solid recommendation! The brighter the better for me! Thank you for sharing.
@@ChrisFranklinJr Check Gaffer & Gear review of F600Bi, it's more towards gaffers, but really good one. Mine not up yet :D.
This light is huge, but still much easier to handle than 600D + Light Dome III, not to mention Light Dome 150. You can have it fully assembled in your gear van.
It also have some magenta tint (I can't see it), but it's measurable. Although your GVM also have a manenta tint.
GVM has new 1200C and 1200B. This is probably the ultimate "budget" light to fight the Sun. If their specs are up to other 1200W lights on the market.
@@JoATTech Thank you so much for this!! I have some lights to go buy/test now!
@@ChrisFranklinJr There is actually infinite number of lights I would like to test, but my budget is too tight :D.
Didn’t catch the link for that mic stand @ 5:22

@@ChrisFranklinJr thank you sir 🙏🏾
@Joattech reviewed this light against the aperture 600d and found that it came up short
He used a light meter and it didn't meet the promised spec, whilst the aperture did
Really?? The video I saw showed that it was about 2% brighter than the aperture. Maybe GVM has worse quality control so there’s a range. I’ll do another deep dive and check it out!
@@ChrisFranklinJr yeah, maybe he got a dud one.. yours seems to be a gem though 👍🏾👍🏾
:D
Hard to say what was wrong with my unit (but some ppl say their units were underperforming too), but lately I've got Godox F600Bi, and it's a gem for interviews if you want soft light.
Even better than 600D in terms of output.
@@JoATTech I need to check out the Godox! I have heard nothing but great things about it!
@@ChrisFranklinJr There are few cons, but they are minor compared to what this light gives for the price. There are better LED panels than F600Bi, but the price is like 4k USD :D.
Isn't that 650W bi-color light like 3-400W daylight? The max output should be around 4000K when all chips are lit. For outside work I'd rather get a smallrig 450D then, or something, if all my lights are daylight it an be good for inside too, or gel them to match tungsten if needed. I know it's oldschool and not as cool as a touchscreen but works. :D Or even HMI, they are getting dirt cheap.
Not usable. Better could be how to do it cheap.
