I love the 500b. We took it in our last interviews for a documentary and used it we left the Aputure 600 in the case. Its size is crazy for the power it has. We used it with a 90cm lantern.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not an incredible colorist, so I rely on some of my favorite LUTs as a starting point and then do my own thing from there. These are by far my favorite LUT pack: 55media.net/55mluts/
This is brilliant. I'm so bored of the same setups and have been thinking of breaking the rules to some extent. So hard to do when in every job you have to play it safe.
Doing something wildly different or daring really needs the correct project - but, as I said, 99% of producers/directors just want something to look nice. I hear ya.
I know projection can be overdone, but right of frame could have had a projected dappled light motivated from the windows or a motivated projection of the window frames. This would be super subtle though. Great shot though.
Oh yea that would be interesting to try. If I went back, I'd also add in another light or two to clamp to the lights in the background... THREE beams of light?! I'd be here for it.
But the one I used in this video is a bit different - it's the Feelworld 10" monitor: bhpho.to/4eIwwzW - but it has a lot of the same features as the Portkeys I review in that video.
Reverse key means the key light is behind the subject to some greater or lesser degree(or very nearly so). If to a greater degree, then the subject will be significantly silhouetted. If to a lesser degree, they will be “short sided” where the short or narrow side of the face, further from camera is lit and the broad side closest to camera is in shadow. This setup does short side the subject slightly but it’s definitely not a reverse key as the angle between light and camera at the point of the subject is quite acute 5:22
Thanks for the comment, but I disagree. Reverse key is just having the light come from the opposite side of the subject/character as the camera side, so the light is falling across the subject's face, rather than shining directly on it. Doesn't really matter how far away the light is - sounds like you're defining back-light, which is a different than a reverse key light.
@@CurrenSheldon Ive always thought it meant behind or at least a very side angle to the subject close to 90 degrees . Not the just short sided , "up stage" lighting, which is the light raking across the face , as opposed to broad side lighting , which is the camera side of the face being lit.
Have you tried to go a little wild in your interview setups? Let me know what you tried!

Beautiful set up and what a detailed walk through, man! Thank you!
Would love to know, how you graded this particular scene/shot - these colors are 🔥!

What a banger of a video
Appreciate that - Thanks for watching!

Do you have a video on how you built your director's monitor?
Funny you should ask. I do, as of 2-hours ago: ruclips.net/video/rgecYnl9LEs/видео.html

What’s that portable monitor you are working with?
