Video description:
As a solo filmmaker it can be tough to film and light a cinematic looking scene. Especially when you want to act in it too. I decided to shoot this video whilst trying out the new iFootage lights, the ‘Anglerfish’ series. The SL1 320DN, the SL1 60DN and the HL1 C4 - all LED lights. Please don’t think for a second that this video is just a glorified promo of these lights as it isn’t. I simply used them as I have them and they’re working well for me. In fact, for one scene, I use a Godox light too. If you’re replicating this type of lighting, you can use any lights yourself. Let me know what you think of the vid and if you’ve any questions please leave them int the comments below. Hugh.

Honestly even at the first take I was like “wow he sounds just like the movie” haha

[@HuFilms]

Ha ha, thanks a lot.

[@kevlally]

Agree. Just brilliant.

[@Sodacake]

This is exactly the kind of video I wanted to see.

[@user-fi1vc2th6b]

[@HuFilms]

Thanks!

[@marinrealestatephotography]

Thank you, Hugh. Very good stuff, and good acting, too.

[@HuFilms]

Acting? Really? lol 😂

[@BauJAhr78Television]

*_Thanks as always I enjoy watching your videos keep it up._*

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Brilliant acting, I honestly thought you had pulled in audio of the real Liam Neeson. Super complex light set up, I'm looking for the absolute basics to light my youtube studio/office, though.

[@dominicpclarke]

Thanks for actually using the gear instead of just talking about it(other reviews/vids). Thanks!

[@benarnoux]

This wasn’t bad at all!!! I enjoyed watching you troubleshoot and problem solve. We’re all out here learning, brother. Im very inspired.

[@HuFilms]

Thanks man, it's all about inspiration to be honest. No matter what views I get, if people feel like making their own content after watching my stuff, then it's a success.

[@iFootageInternational]

That's one of the best Liam Neeson impressions we've seen! The lighting setup is on point as well, great work, Hugh, really enjoyed this piece of work! 👊

[@HuFilms]

Ha ha, thanks guys. Loving these lights, more content on the way!

[@TheDominicballard96]

Your impression is dead on!

[@HuFilms]

Really? that's good to know, Thanks a lot.

[@EhtashamAnwar]

Well done Hugh.

[@HuFilms]

Thanks man!

[@MaunoKoivistoOfficial]

Your accent is very convincing. I can see you are full method actor 😂

[@MichaelGreenwoodMG]

I really like this style of video Hugh, especially how you modified the practicals and problem solved on the fly. I remember you reviewing the gobo but I haven't actually used one before. So I think I'll pick a gobo up, it should add some versatility in terms of the scene/set design. I like your attention to detail when you identify how you hold the phone too. Also, you setup the focus in that way, so you can switch it to manual focus for the takes?

[@HuFilms]

Thanks Michael, yeah a gobo is a great thing and though this video uses the iFootage gear, I quite like those Godox s60's in how they can project like that. You can't go wrong. The main close ups are all autofocus set to single point. I just had to keep my face aligned. Something that's easy to do if you have an actor but not easy when doing it yourself. The main bed scene wider shot was manual. Hope all is well.

[@williams9859]

Always good content! Getting the bedroom setup for the onlyfans page too!! Just joking, but learning about lighting is pretty neat.

[@HuFilms]

ha ha, you're giving me ideas 😂
