😅 I’m glad you included the part when the red background partially fell down 😂 makes you even more relatable as a person, and provides a little break from the serious discussion 👍

Thanks! I thought for sure it was going to throw me off my game and I wasn’t going to get the video recorded in the 40 min I had before a shoot.

BIG laughs at the included blooper! Love it. Loving the James Bond themed shot too. I like these more basic walkthroughs - I have 3 lights now, but so far, only ventured as far as using two.

Thanks Ted! 🤣 I thought the backdrop problem was going throw me way off track and I wouldn’t be able to finish recording before my next shoot! Maybe I’ll make a two and then a three light tutorial next year. 🙏🏼

Still have a Paul C Buff White Lightning X 3200 that has become my optical snoot's BFF. At 1320ws, it battles back against snoots appetite. And I'll add, picked up both Lighting Handbooks during the Black Friday sale, and they are great references and well worth the full price, and certainly a great bargain at half off.

Hey u made great video, just one simple quest . Hall tall is the studio, from bottom to roof?
@JohnGress Жыл бұрын
Thanks! This studio is 12’ / 3.6m tall.
@Whaever_1981 Жыл бұрын
2nd setup. When you use the high speed sync, does this reduce the light output (because you can't go lower than 1/128 on the flash) or is are you using it for another reason? :) Great video by the way!!
@JohnGress Жыл бұрын
Thanks! HSS takes the energy at any power level and instead of using it for one bright pulse it divides it into a bunch of dimmer pulses so each one will go off as the image records on the sensor in a wave from bottom to top.
@Whaever_1981 Жыл бұрын
@@JohnGress Thank you for your response. But when you used it with the strip soft box for the side light effect, what was the intent exactly, to lessen the intensity of the light coming out from strip soft box or something I don't get ? :)

Why do some optical snoots use lenses and others not? What is the difference?

I believe they have to use lenses to be optical snoots.

@@JohnGress Thanks for the quick reply, so the ones without lenses are mere light projectors with gobos, just like a classic snoot ad on.
