    NOTE: Please excuse the mistake at 10:55 where I refer to CRI as Color Temperature Index. It stands for Color Rendering index.

      What kind of lighting kit and brand would you recommend for students? Doesn't have to be pro level, but something durable that will last.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Are the students buying? If so, I'd start them off with some Home Depot $6 lamps, some diffusion, and a bunch of different K color lights and some gels. They'd learn a lot doing that. For school use, tough one. I'd have to say maybe some film lights that they could get used to, so they a familiar with them. I can make suggestions with links if you want.

    You’re frikkin awesome! Most older guys I watch for filmmaking tips are boring and just blabber on a lot. But you, noooo. You taught me sooo much and were so entertaining. Audio was amazing and editing was very enjoyable. I can tell you put a lot of work into these videos. I subbed! :)
    I’m looking into getting my first soliddd light. I got cheaper Color Temp. Adjustable youngnuo lights for 60 bucks with Sony npf batteries and they worked well for me but I am wanting to upgrade. Battery powered, travel friendly, quick set up time, and ease of use is most important for me. I do video production including weddings, testimonials, interviews, small business videos, and so on. What light or light kit would you recommend? The Aputure mini20d’s look nice.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Mini-20s are awesome, my only complain is the fans which can kick on and if they're close to the mic, it's not good. If you keep them away from the mic, they are awesome. So far, my favorite lights are the Tri-8 kit. Expensive, but I love them. amzn.to/2SSHQkd

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      True. Batter isn't attached to the 120s, but I like that, as when you attach them high, they're light. Like I said, the Tri-8s would be a better choice.

    I'm definitely a fan. You're looking around for advice and bam, suddenly there's #basicfilmmaker with all sorts practical advice an indie can appreciate, in one channel. One-stop spot.
    Nerd trivia: the numbers in this Kelvin scale correspond to black body (i.e., non-reflected) radiation. Or to put it simply: a star with a surface temperature of that many Kelvin degrees (= centrigrades + 273) will have that color giving us that "white point". Our sun just happens to have a surface temperature around 6000° K, pretty close to neutral white. Contrary to intuition, the hottest stars (spectral classes A, B, and O) shine blue, and a lot more brightly than white stars.
    Overcast is a tad bluish because we're getting _comparably_ more atmospherically-scattered light. Blue light is higher-energy frequency and that means more likely to survive scattering before being absorbed and turned into heat.
    (How is that useful? Well, knowing reasons for things makes learning them easier. Also, it will serve you if you plan to do a short that takes place in, say, a world under a star of different spectral class than our sun.)

      It is well deserved. Back in my days in community cable TV I had to teach these things to volunteers. (Prior to any mastery of the skills on my own part). And it can be really difficult. Now you have people who are trying to be one man bands on the internet. They need a functional understanding of lighting, cameras, tripods, audio systems, presentations and so much more. The entire profession is demeaned if well intentioned people go out and produce back media. If they're going to do it (or we're going to do it) let's give them the skills to do it well.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I almost went there, but decided it was time for a chunky video on this channel. And yeah, I put the mistake on CRI on a card that should have popped up and in the description. Did it not show up for you?

    • @RobertShaverOfAustin
      @RobertShaverOfAustin 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I went back and saw the CRI card on the upper right. I was busy (slowly) reading the big text on the left side of the frame. Can you put those cards anywhere in the frame or at least on the left side? That would make it harder to miss like I did.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, TH-cam removed annotations in videos in lieu of CARDS which work across browsers and smart devices. No way I was going to re-edit and re-render this thing, so I gamed the TH-cam cards (that card is actually a POLL - if you click on it, it has some questions) to designate the mistake. I have no control of where they appear, only when. Bummer huh. :)

  • @K1aric
    @K1aric 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Kelvin didn't specifically create his scale for measuring light, it measures actual temperature and its mostly used by scientistss as a more accurate and consistent scale than Celsius and Fahrenheit; it just evolved into a lighting measurement because tungsten needs to be heated to 3200k to produce the correct brightness and colour, but as with any other metal if its heated more it becomes white, then blue etc, but if its heated less it will eventually go from orange to red.
    Note: this is a correction for those who are interested, I know Basic Filmmaker will probably know this.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the clarification Connor!

    • @FlorianFahrenberger
      @FlorianFahrenberger 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wanted to add a very similar correction. One tiny addition: Tungsten does not need to be heated to 3200K to produce the correct brightness and color. That is way too hot, and tungsten would actually melt just a little above that temperature. It just glows at a color temperature of around 3200K. In the early days, people liked to use tungsten for light bulbs because of its very high melting point and therefore longer life span.
      The color temperature itself was defined by a very smart dude, Max Planck, as the temperature at which a perfectly black body would emit this sort of light (black body radiation). It is independent of any material and a really theoretical physics definition that you do not need to couple with real-world temperature. Just don't make people heat up anything to 3200K, they could burn themselves badly. :-)

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Geeshh! Smart brains here. I once heated up a light bulb in boiling water and it blew up, no where near 3200k. Explain that!!! (this is a joke - please don't try and explain it). :)

    When you're choosing your lighting, does mean you're Nitpicking?

    great lighting video! so sorry I didn't watched this a week ago....I guess youtube search don't want to help us find what we need but rather spend more time in watching.

    Hope it’s okay with you that I shared a link to this video at the “Wedding Film School” group on Facebook.
    Nice job. Lots of valuable information for filmmakers.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Heck yeah Doug! Share away! Is there a way for me to see the post and at least say THANKS!? Closed group?

    • @DougAlesUSA
      @DougAlesUSA 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Basic Filmmaker shortly after sharing your video I got banned from the closed group without any explanation. Guess sharing it was not okay. Oh well.
      My guess is the group owner Matt WhoIsMatt Johnson is also a TH-camr and didn’t want other educational videos he didn’t make. But I can be sure. :-(

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      WHAT!!!??? Yeah, that could be, but I would think he would remove the video and maybe warn you, rather than remove YOU! Wow. Let's get back at him and do this... HERE'S A VIDEO FROM MATT WHOISMATT JOHNSON entitled, "A Wedding Filmmaker's Review Of The Panasonic GH5." th-cam.com/video/XfUOeHBksoI/w-d-xo.html Ha! That'll show 'em! :)

    • @DougAlesUSA
      @DougAlesUSA 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Basic Filmmaker - thanks.
      In the Facebook group, Matt is actually a fan of the Sony A7Sii due to its low light capabilities. I’ve filmed weddings. One thing about wedding filmmaking is receptions are often in low light areas. Adding lights damages the mood. The Sony A7Sii does about as good of a job in low light as a wedding filmmaker could afford. At least that’s what most of the wedding filmmakers state at that group. That being said, you can see my one and only wedding film, shot with my iPhone, on my channel. That one video has led to me being asking to shoot other weddings. I passed on the opportunity. Doing it for a friend was fine, but really not looking at doing weddings as a business.
      Again, I’m not sure he is the one who banned me from the Wedding Film School on Facebook. The other administrator Kraig Adams isn’t all that active in the group. Adam also has a couple of channels focused around wedding filmmaking.

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nice video Doug. No frickin way I would ever shoot a wedding. There's no re-takes, lighting usually sucks, and you hold in your hands what the client "thinks" the video should be, which is almost never what they think it is. Nope, nope, and nope. LOL!

      Thanks Levi. It was really a LOT of work, and really nice you recognize it. The editing was fun. There's alot of stuff going on in there that a lot of people might not see. Did you see the smoke coming off the HMI? :)

  • @johnleighdesigns
    @johnleighdesigns 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for putting this together I enjoyed the approach to all the concepts - particularly interested in your upcoming review and impressions of the Aputure Mini 20 fresnel lights as I have been dithering for months over those rather than LED Panels but perhaps oyu might propose where those could be of benefit? Also considering the similar Boltzen fresnels and the Calibre fresnels all around the same pricing. Thus far Im put off by reports of noisy multispeed fans in the aputures and veering towards the Boltzen 30W !!

    • @BasicFilmmaker
      @BasicFilmmaker  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love these little mini-20 dudes. The fans can be noisy, but really, they're SO powerful that you can keep them away from the sound recording and never hear it.

  • @ChrisFrancia
    @ChrisFrancia 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video but, kinda missed a key point in the 'diffusion' section. Diffusion cuts down on a lights intensity but, that isn't really why you use them (at least not when you have a dimmer), you use them because it spreads your small source of light into a larger source of light and that is what makes the light softer (you can even turn multiple lights into one large soft light source.
    If lowering the intensity made the light softer then, the dimmer would make it softer, this is not so.
    Larger light, softer light. Closer light, softer light.
    (FYI sorry if this post makes it sound like i didn't think you knew what you were talking about, I think you just did not state it correctly. After all I didn't watch your video to correct you but, because you likely knew something I didn't)

    • @BasicFilmmaker

      Thanks Chris. That's correct and I appreciate these clarifications - it helps others learn.

    Great video! I'm looking forward to the review of the LS Mini 20! I'm still doubting between buying the Aputure 672S as main light diffused or buying a LS Mini 20 (3 light kit). I'm also very interested what the light effect you can create using the 3 mini lights without diffusion because I like film noir/lighting from the 40's but I need to be able to provide soft lighting as well

    • @BasicFilmmaker
