  • I just got my hands on the new @nanluxamericas 2400B LED and it's insanely bright! More output than an ARRI M40 HMI and built in Bi-color plus Green Magenta shift and effects running on a 20 amp house power outlet. That's pretty insane for filmmakers.

      Still my favorite light for high speed shoots. It's crazy how much output it has especially on house power. Could have used something like this years ago

      It's crazy! I knew it was gonna be sick but it's honestly better than I thought it would be. How are you liking yours? Shoot anything cool yet? I know Ryan from Cine Speed confirmed it was flicker free up to at least 100,000 FPS so that's sick.

    Thank you so much for sharing what you know! I Just got a Godox Knowled MG1200BI, which seems like it has all the same features as the Nanlux here, but with less power, although it's still by far the most powerful light I've ever worked with. My question is how you soften a light with that much power. Or do you even bother? I'm shooting with the Freefly Wave, and my Knowled will allow me to shoot at 1,500 fps without issue, but the lighting is so harsh. As soon as I soften the light, I lose so much light that I can't shoot in the 1,500 range anymore. Watching through your videos, it seems like you don't use softboxes, or really any sort of diffusion at all. So is my solution to not soften the light, but just hit my subject with so much light from all angles, that there are no dark shadows? Thanks!

      Output is always a pain with high speed. I usually use something like a frame with diffusion. Depends on the size of your set, 12x, or 8x, or 4x etc. You'll see on a lot of tabletop slowmo sets we push the lights in super close so for example if you're shooting something small you could use a 4x frame and push the light plus frame super far in about 2 feet from your product. The challenge then becomes too much heat too close to your product so it's always a give and take to find the right solution that works.... What kinds of things are you shooting most of the time that you're getting harsh shadows with.

      @@chrisvanderschaaf Well most of my work up until this point has been in the board game industry. However, now that I'm venturing into the world of slow motion, I'm wanting to branch out. I've always used softboxes in the past, but I feel like I need direct light in order to shoot high framerates. And I've seen so many BTS clips of folks shooting high fps that don't seem to use diffusion, so I'm just trying to figure out how many lights I need to own. 😅

      How many fixtures you'll need is mostly going to depend on how large of a space you're trying to cover. A lot of times i'll have at least 4 larger fixtures at one time for a pretty small tabletop space if we're shooting at 1000fps Something like 3 nanlux 1200 and a 2400B Most of the time some of those are through diffusion and some are direct or with a fresnel. If you're shooting a pretty tight shot with a black background like you did in this video ruclips.net/video/wUKGdmjathU/видео.htmlsi=6M7vlO0Hgx6oeRqk&t=49 but at 1000fps I think you could get away with 2 nanlux 1200 fixtures maybe even one depending on what you want it to look like. One option would be to hang a 4x for a top light and then the other could be a back/edge light... really just depends on what you're going for @@kevingrote

      I've never shot with the Godox ones so i'm not sure how close they are to output of the Nanlux 1200 though.

      @@chrisvanderschaaf This is great. Thank you! If you ever have the chance to try out the Godox Knowled, I'd recommend it. It's a very impressive light, and for $3,000 it's a much better price than a lot of the other lights in the same output range. I'm pretty limited by space, as 90% of my shooting is done in a one-car garage. So having 4+ lights in there would be tough. My hope is that as I begin doing more work in the high speed/visual engineering space, I'll be able to increase my rates and maybe someday I could afford a real studio space. Thanks for being a resource. Your RUclips channel is filled with helpful information!
