Why do you think it is that it is common practice to put the camera on the shadow side? I understand what it does, the change in depth, the shaping, the definition and so on, but WHY....? So much portrait photography is front lit or lit from the same side as the camera with great results. Take a look at award winning portrait photography, it's everywhere. It would be understandable in cinema to orient the camera on the shadow side with far side key for moodier, grittier, darker tone films, but it's practically all of them...and yet photography practices do not follow this....at least not as standard practice. The main difference I can think of it time. We take in shots in cinema for far less time than examining a portrait photo, maybe it is useful to quickly get a sense of shape... still I feel this does not fully explain it....Have you ever been given an explanation on the why? Thoughts?

If I can request two topics; I'd love a video where you explain the sequence that you follow for lighting a set relative to the shot. For instance would the camera placement already be decided and you will light around that spot so the camera is not on the key side, or do you light for the scene and then the camera is placed on the shadow side, so camera position following lighting....or does it change shot to shot, how does that sequence and plan work? Also I'd love a video on shooting day for night especially when the actors are using illuminated props like flash lights or phone lights etc.

I want to emphasise to please keep this format for your videos! It's perfect! The decision to not have an annoying intro, the amount of time the in-between titles are onscreen and the animation style are all great, the pace is perfect, the music choice is great, the graphical aids, all superb. The clear, instructive, educational videos are the best. As long as you keep doing these I'm sure this channel will take off.

dude this is seriously helpful content, I feel like there aren’t enough gaffers showing off their craft on here. This is especially helpful for a beginner dp such as myself, more so than any video on lenses, cameras, gear etc. Looking forward to seeing more of your content in the future. Thanks again

Man, awesome review! Thanks for the comparison with the F22c. Btw, whats the brightest of them? In your graph the Pavoslim is 3000/2000 Lux at 3 feet, is that measurement with or without any of the diffusers? What about the f22c lux at the same conditions? Sorry for so many questions but I'm about to buy one of them and want to be sure!

Great comparison, main problem i can see is we probably like some that are a little bit more saturated so with the aputure 600x could change my decision Great job anyway, probably the best method of review of rags in all youtube

Pretty good test! It would be much better to black out the walls around you because the rags bounce/reflect back into the environment. This would be a more direct comparison and if you do this I'd be very curious to see the results!

Hello, I have a question regarding Bi-Color vs Daylight and the fact that Bi-Color uses half of it's LED diodes depending on the color temperature. Are the advertised lux measurements of Bi-Color lights a sum of both cold and warm LED arrays or just one at a time. For example I'm eyeing a Neewer CB60B and it boasts 34 000 lux at 1 meter, but is that when the color temperature is set to around 4500K, so both arrays are more or less fired up or not. Thanks!

@thegranitegaffer 2 ай бұрын

That's a great question! The assumption is that advertised lux measurements are from the 5600K output unless otherwise stated! Bicolor lights don't mix their daylight and tungsten LED arrays at 100% power EACH in between 5600K and 3200K, but TOTAL, ie. 70-30%, 69-21%, etc. If BOTH daylight and tungsten LEDs were at 100% power draw in the middle of the color temperature range, then the wattage would be much higher at 4400K than at 5600K or 3200K. The power draw would have a bell curve as we use the light at 100% intensity, and that would make it difficult to use when calculating power consumption over a total circuit. So to resolve this, manufacturers standardize output of a light to a maximum wattage usage. This is why a lot of lights are named after their wattage draw. (aputure 300/600/1200d, nanlite evoke 900, etc.) And **white LEDs are brighter than tungsten LEDs when measured at an equivalent wattage**. So, that's why the marketing maximum lux measurement is always assumed to be the 5600K value! (Someone feel free to chime in with a light that doesn't follow this trend!)

@kris.krustev 2 ай бұрын

@@thegranitegaffer thank you for the explanation! In that case is there any merit to getting a daylight balanced light? If the argument is that they are generally brighter, if a daylight light and a bicolor one are put side to side at 5600K won't the output be very close if not the same? The bicolor lights are measured at 5600K after as well. In that case you get a light that's just as powerful at a daylight color temperature but with the bonus of being able to change it with loss of power as a downside. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Great job taking some very difficult subject matters and explaining them clearly! My only note (and I know how much extra work this is, specially as a 1 man band, so know that its relatively minor) is mixing in more real world examples from interviews you've lit as you discuss different lighting styles/looks. You did a great job with the graphics but I think a little bit more show and less tell would elevate the content.

I would probably go with either a 600d (non-pro) for a few extra hundred or an amaran 300c and save some money at this point!

@flashforum939 2 ай бұрын

The output on the MAX is extremely disappointing and the gobo mount system makes it almost impossible to change gobos when it’s hot and even when cold it’s a hassle.

@thegranitegaffer 2 ай бұрын

I would have preferred a higher output off the 1200d when compared to the 600d through the same lens but the lack of chromatic aberration, consistent output across the diameter of the throw area, and minimal light leakage makes up for it to me. Your use cases are different though!

4:35 - comparison of the output of the panel vs CoB with reflector is not fair ... compare the CoB with the softbox, when diffusion cuts 2 stops and light is lost inside the softbox too :D.

@thegranitegaffer 3 ай бұрын

Point sources aren't always used with a softbox though, so in this case a direct comparison is more than appropriate.

@JoATTech 3 ай бұрын

@@thegranitegaffer Yes, but you wouldn't use panel as a point source anyway. So it's a bit like comparing apples to oranges and saying one of them is better. If someone is a newbie might be surprised. My 600D generates 22000 lux at 1m, but with 90cm softbox with 2 stops diffusion it's just 9600 lux, so less than a half.
