AAAAaaahhhh what an amazing sponsored video. :) I really hope they reward you properly because this is a masterclass in many ways! ;) Thank you master! I love the subtle color changes in the mini. I'm so impressed on how people can paint that way!
This was so informative and you always make everything easy to comprehend. The huge plus is that I could listen to your voice all day long. Thank you ❤
This was reeeeeally beautiful to watch. I'm usually stuck in the literature part of things so I don't get to see these kinds of explanations, I appreciate it a lot. Btw those shots of you painting at the beach are gold
Thank you very much. This video spoke to me. I never looked for good light. Playing PC games in dim background light was enough. But when I started painting, I soon realized, that my light might be too dim. So now I paint with the desk lamp and the room lamp.
It's always a battle between Alex and Dave from MSPaints on who can make the most gorgeous, well-lit, cinematic shots in the hobby. This was a beautiful video.
Love this second video of yours on light. As someone who works in film, like you, I'm very sensitive to good lighting. It's why I don't even bother with hobby lights. Even though some are really really good, I just use some my film lights to light my hobby mat. It's a win-win for me because I can use the same lights for everything. (But I did have to rig some things up to make it easy to set up / work with.)
I really enjoyed this video. Aside from the gorgeous mini - I envy your capability to paint in such an artistic way - the leather looks awesome, really organic and believable... and the powerful, sometimes jawdropping visuals from crete (and a quite handsome guy), I also liked the more technical part. A lot of it is not new to me, since I learned about it in school when I trained to become a media designer. But you presented the topic really accessable. Thank you!
What a gorgeous paint job ! And a very educational video ! I feel quite en-light-ened if I may say so... Thanks !

It should come with a "pool noodle" to put the main lamp into, and a small bag to put it into. I hold a warhammer club, and bringing the R9 is a paint, but im also scared that this will break during transport over time. Hope Redgrass reads this and adds this!
Very informative indeed Alex, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the Kickstarter! Thanks for taking the time to make this excellent content for us too! Great fun mate! I'm now wondering if using a few different types of lamps will have the net effect of providing a broader spectrum for us, whilst we wait for the KS? Maybe a short video sometime on how to create a broader spectrum with lamps that are currently available would be super useful too, especially as the handheld spectrometers are several hundred buckeroos, but appreciate that might need to wait until after the KS is completed 😉
I took a look at the new lamp from rgg for a while now as I really need a good solution for hobbying on vaccation or workshops. The video was nice and very informative and confirms my decision. 😁
Thanks Alex! I need to upgrade my light situation and this will definitely help me know what to look for. The overhead lighting I paint under is not bright enough and casts shadows on my workpiece. And I take photos of my minis just by the window/daylight - but I think the window might even be designed to filter out some of that spectrum, to prevent sun-bleaching of the floors/furniture/etc. I have no proper light setup. But I will! I'm adding this to my 2025 resolutions.
Would you mind testing the CRI of a standard IKEA bulb (SOLHETTA)? Maybe also with it defused with a kitchen paper towel? I guess that would be the bulb a lot of people would be using.

At this point, should we be surprised that Alex can produce such a thoughtful, informative and entertaining video? No, we cannot.

Highest production value of any hobbyist I have run across so far. Your photography background shows constantly. Nice work man.
I know technical vids aren't always top performers but MAN I eat these up!
Those shots are stunning! Will definitely be taking notes to help my hobby. Keep up the awesome work Alex!

One of your best videos to date. Particularly like how beautifully everything is shot, love it 🔆

What a wonderful piece. Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed this.. Quite informative
What a fantastic video. I'll give this to everyone I can when it comes to talking about light. Thank you!
Wonderful paint job as well, by the way!

Another banger Alex: both entertaining and informative. The focus on eye strain was quite smart.

Hi from Spain! I love your job
That’s a lot of really helpful information from a person with a proper photography background. Thanks, Alex!
I'll definitely be checking out the new light.

Thank you for this informative video - I learned a lot!
Superbra video, tack!
Really informative! thank you
Thank you so much for the education on lights. I learned so much information!
Also, now I want to check out the company that makes that model.
Årsta represents!
Greetings from germany, cheers Alex

Fantastic video, very useful and entertaining as always.
A splendid, beautifully shot video, this - looks like you enjoyed Crete, I've only been there for work, but the little I saw was grand.

This video was lit.. I’ll see myself out

Asom new video from 52 guy!
alex please do movie! i would watch. show hollywood how its done!
I did buy the R9 based on your previous video on it. Should I find myself needing a portable lamp I'll pick up a Solo.
I really need to upgrade my light

Great video, i hope one day you and Brent firm goobertown get to do a collaboration video.
