I think all that's missing in the bounce's design would be to make the edge between colors fuzzier. It would help making the reflections more natural

Yes, maybe even some pseudo-random complexity like camouflage. I've often wanted something like that on set when using ultra bounce and feeling the same way about it that Nicholas describes here.

Yes! that would be the ideal! It would make them much more expensive to make. Often there will be some sort of thin curtain built in to the set and that diffuses the transistion between the colours.

Maybe, but I’ve noticed that the horizon doesn’t softly transition between sky and ground. So really, I think the design they have now is MORE realistic than that.

Tremendous intro. I love when cinematography/video channels actually weave some kind of narrative style into their reviews or breakdowns in that way. Stuff like that is often just as educational as the full videos because I get to see some techniques to use when you're both in front of and behind the camera at the same time haha.

I really love the natural skin tone (even if it's just a minor touch). One personal note is the harsh line between the white and blue on the reflections (such as the cabinet) seeming a bit unnatural to me. Maybe V2 can almost have an ombre shift between the two colors. Sweet vid!
@iYoVisuals
@iYoVisuals 10 ай бұрын
Yep... This v1 is a great concept. However, I agree if it was ombre in a variety of colors it'd be a hit, and make a ton of sense for a lot of practical productions.

It has its place. It works as a solid out of focus backdrop in windows. I think the harsh blue reflections on objects is completely unrealistic and the white bounce looks so much better. However, in the shot of the MacBook at 4:53, the blue reflection looks really nice. Not a replacement, just another tool. Cool to know it's out there.
@jonathanbergqvist4897
@jonathanbergqvist4897 10 ай бұрын
Agreed! I wonder how blue the actual sky really gets in a direct comparison with reflections.. It feels like the effect doesn't really reflect what would be natural if it were just the blue sky out there. After filming a lot of objects through the years that must have reflected the blue sky in the background, I cant say that what I see with the blue reflection in this video seems relatable to the real world.

Very cool product. I could see how it could be used outside a window with/without curtains. And you use the colored fabric to block nearby buildings/houses from being seen through the window. Instead, there is the blue from the Bluffbounce screen giving the impression of a sky when the location is across the street from other houses or in the city. Plus, as mentioned, the colors from the screen bouncing off of objects in the foreground. A great way of adding mood or depth to the shot.

Excellent product. I was taking photos of a person with a sunset behind me and loved the look of the colours in the eye's and refractions. Always figured a big bounce with the same pricipals would be cool. It would be nice to see if they could have some sort of fade so it's not just a hard line. Would make it look even more natural.

Interesting with some logic but not sure it makes sense in reality. Quite specific result but great that people are trying new things. I know using flags and scrim is what we are supposed to do but i have never really understood why we dont have graduated reflectors or graduated diffusion. Think Deakins cove light and creating a softer fall off would be so easy. I know placing flags or extra diffusion is more controllable but its so easy to end up with a spaghetti of stands and arms. Meanwhile my current favourite thing to do is use a mirror as a bounce as if its a window source. So often a room might seem dead or for practical reason the window is in the wrong place. I dont mean mirrored glass, more the plastic light and cheap ones. I know its not exactly news but doing that with some coloured filter in front or few branches or cucoloris to break things up often helps create a more lived in set of reflections and the highlights have a sharpness that creates some interesting texture. So many ways to do it and usually so little time. Thx as always
