"I like litepanels"... [shows Skypanel BRoll]

[@RonPaulRivet]

I came to the comment section to say exactly that.

[@bluefilmsltd]

He was spot on with that

[@katojuakhil9277]

This channel is a great book of cenimatography ☺️

[@kalyanchappidi2447]

For me any lightsource that’s wrapped using a book lighting gave the best skin tones

[@BaronDeRothschild]

Quality light properly shaped, modified and cut is my favorite.

[@jimkoral3824]

At the ASC panel Cine Gear 2019, Daniel Pearl ASC said the Source Four was one of his favorite lights, just like Todd Dos Reis ASC talks about in the vid.

[@timofreee]

Hands down, Arc lights are the best 🤘🏻

[@fotochuck]

Like Poster, I like wrap. 8x8s fit into a room with normal ceiling height-and you can use artificial silk, China silk, grid cloth whatever. BTW I always had a fifty foot roll of 6 foot wide Clearprint tracing paper on the truck. Tungsten PARs make lighting night exteriors easy.

Great video , did Dan Mindel expand further on his use of blondes?

[@tomkent4656]

Arc lights went out with the Ark!

[@GoWithHim1]

0:55 Who knew that James Caan was a cinematographer

[@raredreamfootage]

1:12 - Now that is what I'm talking about!

[@lifeisashow1813]

Hahaha I like litepanel and they show skypanel... now we know who’s sponsoring this video!!! 😂

[@sotocine99]

The best is sunlight.

[@xmarxsham]

Soto Cine I was surprised no one said it. I love sun.

[@joehenry3275]

3:40 she's literally describing a Westcott Flex Light w/ the scrim jim frame.

[@TheSmeagol630]

Yes. Yes she is, but she'll invent it.

[@davidnelson3757]

its the notes you don't play that make the difference

[@FLUKEMEDIA]

Sunset.

[@Owlbot]

Kimisha said Litepanels not Skypanels

[@jonathangift13]

Damn no one mention natural light

[@rumorscameras]

she says litepanels and you show skypanel

[@urielmedina9734]

First comment and Like 👍 . Hi 👋

[@xmarxsham]

Ummm how about natural sunlight?

[@kleindavid9416]

hard to control - very hard

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

2:30 light on his face looks awful, blown out...maybe it's my monitor.

[@MoonSafariFilms]

Yeah, looks okay to me. You might want to calibrate your monitor. www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
