Thanks 👍 I want to use gels. I thought of the same thing as you. I wasn't sure if it was safe because of heat from light. I guess it's okay then. Thanks for the confirmation.
Nate, I've just bought a pack of 22 gels (11 colours) for about $10. I'm going to use them tomorrow when I film my next video. I'm playing with them today. Thanks for the tips about a double layer!
A professional pack of gels is only $25-30. Doing this type of crap with the cellophane is way more annoying than it is worth for saving a few bucks. This solution is really just for people that are so poor they can barely afford a meal and if that is the case how do you even have a light in the first place.
வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி இரா.மனோகர் சென்னை . Very useful video sir, I learned lot from it, looking forward more videos like this keep it up good work, thanks a lot sirbig thank you R.MANOHAR ,Chennai.
I'm redecorating my room and I really just wanted to put some filters up over the windows so the light comes in tinted and gives my room a different look. hope this works! thanks for the video!
Nice follow up on this DIY gel hack. I like that you customized your filter holder. Yes these DIY gels YCImaging recommended are a money saver and it gets that color look. Yes it's not the actual precise heat resistant gels material, but the end result gives a professional finish. I use these this same gel hack for my Kino-Flow lighting system. These work well with LED panels, CFL light bulbs, and fluorescent lights. Tungsten will burn these paper thin gels up so don't use this hack on Tungsten light system. Just as your recommendation, I found that when you double or triple the color layer you get a stronger color tone. A, you can't go wrong with this look plus it's $5 for a roll of this paper. That's like snack money. At least for me. Salute to you bruh, good review and test on hacking this joint.
That's a fantastic tip. We used CTB a ton for moonlight, but don't do what we did...you need to diffuse it too or it'll be too harsh in camera. I've also used CTO to mimic street lights, which I wouldn't advise diffusion on that use case. Your tip sounds perfect for our GVM LEDs as even Roscoe gels melt on Lowel Totas and definitely, 1k Arris.
Thank you NFT for re-igniting a great lighting idea! USERS (photographers, designers) should know that cutting costs and using a ultra light cellophane is a GREAT IDEA. However, it is VERY likely that if this material is used with anything and close to another than a 'cool' light (think LED bulb or strips), they can melt. It's a killer way to cover fluorescent lighting too! Ambient lighting easy. I'm using it to cover and/or line the fluorescent ceiling fixtures in the bathrooms of a converted radiator shop I DJ/host dance parties in monthly. Yahooo! I used the heavy weight gels professionally in the 80's and 90's when DJ'ing in clubs and they are efficient when used properly.
This video was so well made Nate! 1K and growing keep creating and pushing yourself your content has truly evolved and gotten so much better and I can see your personality through the camera much more :D I think a lot of this comes from just filming yourself and not feeling like an idiot (takes some time lol took me like 4 years) Once you build that confidence it is so much easier to be yourself and i think people can sense that. Keep creating man i need to go to Michaels :D
Colin Ross Thank you so much! I still mess up when I’m speaking to the camera, which is the reason for all the jump cuts. Thanks again Colin, excited to see your channel taking off!
Thanks, this is great. One thing you're not showing in the video is, what kind of lights are you using and how are you attaching the gels you've made. I'm finding trying to attach gels firmly to lights and prevent light leakage from coming around them at the same time is really time consuming,.
Yooo i have my own alternative lights i just made as i did my School Project lol. I cut very small square sheets of cellophane sheets and taped it at the back of my phones to cover the flashlight area of the phone. Lol the lighting was as good as yours bro. ❤️
Love the vids brother! I recently started using gels and it's a lot of fun. I feel liek u should use some practical lights in the background 👌. I think it will add some texture to the set
I tried this and while it looks great in person i'm finding that my cameras are seeing the colors wrong, even if i adjust the white balance. It'll see purple as blue and red as orange. Two different camera brands also so it's not a color science issue. Any advice would be appreciated!
Set your cameras white balance to the light source, for instance if your light is 5600K then manually set your white balance to 5600K and see if that works.
@@NatesFilmTutorials I have tried this but alas no help! The orangey looking red i think will be salvageable with a hue adjustment in post however the purple is wayyyyy off haha! I'm using a 5600K COB and the purple is closest to purple at 10,000k in camera, but still nowhere near as purple as it looks in person! I bought 5 colors though and 3 out of 5 look great though so I can't complain, especially when it's so cheap! Just wondered if anyone does happen to have a quick fix :)
@@NatesFilmTutorials totally! i've got a vertical sheet that's either 3 or 4 layers (can't remember which) and taped the edges together. I'll use that or i'll fold it in half and clamp to the light's reflector if i want more saturation so it's up to 7 or 8 layers realistically, should be more than enough! It does look nice and saturated, it's just in camera the hue is off despite the WB being correct. Strange one! Thanks for trying to help nonetheless :)
yeah.. cool for few months but see you when you'll have the disgusting smoky smell and thing melting on lights, even starting a fire. If pro gels cost what they cost it's for a reason.
Thanks for watching! Do you use gels for your videos and films?
I will be now 😀! Thanks for the diy and the red blue and gold tip!

You have a really pleasant voice, I could listen to you talking about anything in the background as I work on my art.
Ahh thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it.
Great idea! It’s Halloween and time to get some color lights going. Thanks for the idea!
Nice!
Now this is something that fits my budget 😂😂 thank you so much!

@@NirnBootMod lmao don’t diss me I’m sorry I’m broke. I stole the light so yea thats how
@@sneakospeech You can't get away with stealing. You will pay via karmic debt sooner or later.

Did not expect it to work this good!
Glad to hear!
This is absolutely genius.
Dope how you made a gel filter! 👌🏼
Creative Ryan Ha Thanks Ryan
Thank you! This helped a lot! And a cheap way!
Holy shit, man, you're a genius
Goated Bro!
Appreciate it
how does it hold up with heat? I've gone through a few from amazon that melt and warp.
Excellent tip. Going to do this thank you. Will help with my toy photography

Thanks Nate. Totally doing this for our homemade horror film this year.
i love this guy! simple and easy too understand tut . im most def subbing u bro!
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it!
Nice job Nate !! I love that new tripod !! #Awesome !!
Bout to go buy some right now
Great video bro definitely will do the same with my lights.
That's really cool. I wonder where we can buy these in the UK
The Film Look Thanks, try looking at an arts and crafts store for colored cellophane.
Thats very neat dude.
Thanks to your video.. The cellophane sheets went up to $7.. Hahaha... But that won't stop me from buying those things.. Thanks for the tip brother!
It's so useful thanks a lot ☺️
I’m glad!
Thanks for the video! Do they warp, or are they flamable?
Flammable is my concern.
Yooo i have my own alternative lights i just made as i did my School Project lol. I cut very small square sheets of cellophane sheets and taped it at the back of my phones to cover the flashlight area of the phone. Lol the lighting was as good as yours bro. ❤️
I dig it.
It's so easy and makes a difference. thanks for making the video definintly will help.
Yay!

very informative
Love that video very informative my man ✊🏾
Good knowledge
So cool👌👌
Will these not melt?
Darian Hernandez not with LED lights
Sick bro. ✌🏾
Thank you so much brother!🤘😇
Is there some website i could buy those so i dont have to make them?
love this, nate.
erskine visuals thanks kate
what about using these on big HOT lights? This stuff would catch on fire right? Do you know of anything to use on big round hot lights?
Sweet video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Does the cellophane burn after a while?
It depends on what light you use. An LED bulb a few inches away shouldn’t melt
Great Video! Keep going!
this was so helpful!!!!
Glad it helped!
Any risk of these melting? Thanks.
Stephen Mihalchik not when using LED bulbs. I would be careful using incandescent bulbs for any length of time
Thank you both
Wouldn’t this burn if left for too long close to the light source? I have LEDs
Shouldn’t melt with LED’s
Would these work with flood lights?
Any idea of how you’d put this over umbrella lights??
I would probably tape it over the umbrella or try to clip it to the light itself. You don’t want it to touch the light directly
great job on the video great info. Will these gels melt on your clap light
Andrew Alvidrez I have an LED light bulb which doesn’t get too hot.
cool bro gonna do this
Sweet!
sick this helped going to try toady!
Sweet!
You can get these from Dollar Tree as well.
Yep, although it comes in a much smaller amount
When I use the gels I get very weak color. What am I doing wrong?
You can try using multiple layers to get a stronger effect, but you will loose a bit of brightness
Sam from Game of thrones!!!! 😍 😍
no, just no haha
How do you identify?

Do you have the measurements used on the foam board?
9x9”
How’d you mount the clamp light onto your light stand if you used one, that is.
I just used a clamp from home depot. something like this amzn.to/2Hto2yQ It's not ideal but it works
last minute things, this saved a life
nice video bro
Pointless Visuals thanks for watching
What lights did he use?
Matt Stevens just a clamp light and a LED bulb
Nice video bro
Thanks
Thanks!
Nate's Film Tutorials
😉
thank u
You’re welcome!
Can This paper burn ?
Hey! It’s a plastic, and it will melt with a hot light. If you have and LED light and it’s not touching it shouldn’t melt at all.
How much is your clamp light?
Like $10 from the Home Depot
Can you create Teal and Orange ?
Primary colors of light are red blue and green
no miclheals in korea,
I wanted to make my room's ceiling lights warmer, but I feel like these might just melt.
Probably, unless they are LED bulbs and the gels are not touching the bulbs, but it’s not the most elegant solution.
It's much cheaper in the Ph to have a cellophane for lighting
Great channel homie. Fucking bad ass. Buying them this week. Thanks pal. 🙏🔑
Yes indeed👍🫵🏽🫡
Red, blue, green... Just saying, we're dealing with light not pigment here.
Yeah so green is the primary color you're missing. Yellow is not a primary color of lighting. Don't miss inform these people
Yo!!! Friggin spoilers!! Warn a guy!
I’m using the garbage bag 😂 because I have no time to buy this fake coloured gel, I use what I have in my house
Thanks for ruining Star Wars for me 👍🏾
20fps 🤢
yeah.. cool for few months but see you when you'll have the disgusting smoky smell and thing melting on lights, even starting a fire. If pro gels cost what they cost it's for a reason.
MaevaBM they won’t melt hooked up with leds
