For all those complaining about the modifiers and stands being expensive, if $15K light can be replaced with $200 lights, a little bit of DIY+common sense could solve that issue as well. Shower curtains for Opals or 216s, to make c-stands you could buy c-clamps from home depot and couple them with normal stands. With gels you could opt for cheaper gels and do a prior test to see how things work out. If you invest in a color meter then that process is much easier. Also hang around sets after packups, talk to grips/lightmen. They have leftover gels from shoots that they'll dispose anyway. Ask them nicely and they'll give you stuff. When I was 17ish back in 2012/13, I was always around these sets helping out for free or interning in student projects and was quite proud of my set of gels made from these leftovers that I reused for over 2 years.
@@maxsdad538 He was using it to demonstrate how close you can get to expensive lights. If you're making a low budget film with cheap lights why would you need the light meter?
If people are wondering how they could afford the gels: lighting hire companies often have leftover off-cuts which they’ll just give you if you ask nicely.
I used to buy these industrial reflector that comes with stands and they do a good job. Or get cheap light stands that costs around 100-300 dollars for photography.
The producer: So Shane.. I heard that you can light the scene with $200. We are gonna go with that budget.

Thank you for this!!! Couldn't agree more.
You mean a colour meter that cost $1500 like the Sekonic C-800? Well there goes your budget ;0)
@@haxstir you don't need a colour meter. He was just using it to show how close you can get with cheap lights.
@@ActiumFilms But how do you get that close if you can't measure it? You can't just eyeball it,

hahahah pro tip you can also get leftovers from Costco to feed your crew. jk
one of my best lecture ... proud of you, shane
Yeah I can see where most comments are coming from where the lights are individual about $200. But the concept is interesting.
2:56 looks better than 5:11 (and looks more like the 15 000$ comparison...)
This channel is amazing, thanks for sharing
The stands alone are worth more than 200
Great show!
Wow good video I love the lighting from Home Depot
Thanks to mentor...love from india
Interesting, but I wonder why does fill light goes along Key light direction? Doesn't it make the subject more flattered?
That blue flare though, not very pleasant.
So when you do it, place it, or choose it's colour, to be pleasing to you eye
it was placed wrong. it hit the lens and washed out the image!
👍🏾🙏🏾
why can I clearly see C- stands in each frame?
Assuming because they’re doing it quickly. We’ll usually wrap them with black cloth.
$200 + $1500+ worth of equipment lol. Great video nevertheless!
That blue flare ruined the image for me. Otherwise, great workshop.
I agree, they should have left it at 2:53
C-stand cost excluded
