Bro this is incredible the work you put in to do this. Thank you. First full year of doing wedding filmmaking and lighting was the last step and investment
Hi, First of all, congrat for your channel, I really like your info! Question, I will film my first wedding reception. The bride will use a DJ with towered lights, do I need external lights anyways? Can I use a ZHIYUN FIVERAY M40 Video Light, 40W in my gimbal? Or is better standlights?
This is really interesting think I’m gonna jump on it 😊 also thanks for inspiring more to do my own content ❤️ got my sub. Also gotta love bts chatting/ directing with the bride lol
Lol ignore me I’ve just seen this question further down sorry. It would be great to see what other kit you use? I’ve just started on solo weddings and it would be great to get some ideas on what you use 😃
The light is bi-color, 3200 or 5500 so I just set my white balance as close as possible. I also use an app called 'Kev WB' which helps as well. Thanks for the sub!
@@RaphealPersaud you have the ml60? Yeeeaaahhh nice. If you can this would be an interesting video for run and gun wedding filmmakers. The lighting situation is a hustle for me Wright now I don't have much time to set up everything only a few minutes. that's means my plan is to have 2 small lights light and compact in a bag pack take it out place it on 3pod push the button... Ready! Greek weddings last in the churche about an hour that means I need every time cords for electricity 😁. Thanks for answering
I don't have personal experience with it but anything with a softbox should give you a nice look. I would be mindful of the size but other than that, I think it's solid!
Thanks man! Tbh, I've never done any start to finish testing. One battery lasts all day with how I personally use them which is a combined time of 3 to 4 hours.
Monopod/handheld shots give a different look which I like. It's also less hassle than using a gimbal. However, I have been using gimbals in my recent videos. Check them out and see what you think! th-cam.com/video/ubDvE4b4MB8/w-d-xo.html
hey bro im new to wedding using a xt3 but its getting dated im thinking of going full frame with the lumix s5ii. what do you think? whats a good wedding video camera
Loving the content Rapheal, keep it up! I have a quick question. When you set up these lights are you constantly changing the color temperatures based off the locations? How do you decide which temperature to set it at? Is it based off of the cameras white balance reading and then setting the light to match the cameras white balance?
I set my color temperature based on the light. I usually use the light at 5500-5600 (daylight) so that’s what I set the camera color temperature to. Sometimes you have to fiddle with the camera color temperature when you have different lighting situations but I just eye ball it at that point. I’m learning about a camera app that reads the temperatures for you so it’s more direct and less guessing.
I believe I actually did a sparkler exit using one of these lights as a hairlight for the couple. It was outside during the night so the effect was amplified. Thanks for watching!
@@pyroBlastM Haven't tried it but if you're using sparklers, I wouldn't recommend additional lights facing them... Don't wanna overexpose plus I don't think it would look flattering.

Bro this is incredible the work you put in to do this. Thank you. First full year of doing wedding filmmaking and lighting was the last step and investment
I appreciate that! Hopefully I helped in some way.
And yes framework lighting as much as possible 🙌🏼
Awesome... Thanks for sharing, very informative... Quick one though, which monopod do you use?
Brilliant content mate, after watching this I brought 2 for my wedding videography! Keep up the great work!
Thanks man. Hopefully it easily helps up your production levels!
are these bright enough to light up a wedding party in a dark room if using two?

Hi Rapheal, may I ask your camera setup for this dance floor shootings, many thanks 😄
I believe the wide shot was a a6400 + 9mm Laowa. The moving shot was a A73 + Rokinon 85 t1.5.
Excellent work brother, subscribed!
This is really informative.. I will follow your channel.
Very nice the way you have put this video. Amazing.
Great video! Thanks
This is really interesting think I’m gonna jump on it 😊 also thanks for inspiring more to do my own content ❤️ got my sub.

Go for it!
Hey, do you use the bi-color version of the light or Daylight only?
I use the bi color version but I only use the daylight option
Great video! Thank you, I have 2 of these lights what power do you have them set on usually? 50%? 100%?
Lol ignore me I’ve just seen this question further down sorry. It would be great to see what other kit you use? I’ve just started on solo weddings and it would be great to get some ideas on what you use 😃
Nice video. Great seeing behind the scenes
Hi! I have the YN300III, this one is more powerful than that one?☺️
Yes it should be since it has 300 LEDs and the YN216 has 216
Bro! you sold me with this one! how do you choose your temperature especially in the getting ready?
The light is bi-color, 3200 or 5500 so I just set my white balance as close as possible. I also use an app called 'Kev WB' which helps as well. Thanks for the sub!
@@RaphealPersaud nice videos, I have a question... do you use the light in 3200 or 5600?
Mostly at 5600
Man you are amazing! I have this light
You made an amazing video with real live situation! Wow respect man 💪💪💪 you rocking it
I am looking now for an aperture 60d or godox ml60 I wish you have made a video for this light 😁😁 haha thanks again
I actually filmed this video with a ML60 haha. Maybe I'll tackle that light next.
@@RaphealPersaud you have the ml60? Yeeeaaahhh nice. If you can this would be an interesting video for run and gun wedding filmmakers.

as a solo plus adjusting the light , do you think using gimbal or monopod is more convenient?
For me, monopod is less work but it could be negligible for others.
@@RaphealPersaud Thank you for your reply. Great work
Good job!
Love tzhis video! What lens you use?
Thank you! The lens used to make this video or the lens used to film the bts?
On 2.49min your main not bts cam
Nice video man! Any thoughts on the mountdog light system its around 100bucks?
I don't have personal experience with it but anything with a softbox should give you a nice look. I would be mindful of the size but other than that, I think it's solid!
Awesome content! How long does it last with those batteries?
Thanks man! Tbh, I've never done any start to finish testing. One battery lasts all day with how I personally use them which is a combined time of 3 to 4 hours.
may i ask you sir, why you choose monopod
instead of using stabilizer like zhiyun?
Monopod/handheld shots give a different look which I like. It's also less hassle than using a gimbal. However, I have been using gimbals in my recent videos. Check them out and see what you think! th-cam.com/video/ubDvE4b4MB8/w-d-xo.html
informative video! btw what monopod do you use??
I use this one! amzn.to/3QrDcXS
hey bro im new to wedding using a xt3 but its getting dated im thinking of going full frame with the lumix s5ii. what do you think? whats a good wedding video camera

@@RaphealPersaud thanks for the tip! Just ordered 2 YN216. Gonna get to practicing what you taught
@@videosbyeddie9023 kill it bro!
Thanks. How do you find the batteries… which brand are you using and how long do they last? 🖖
I use the NPF970 batteries. I've never killed one before so I don't know how long they last but I've never been once worried about battery life!
I like the video ❤️
Hi,is this good for beauty makeup photography? please answer
If you bounce the light of a wall or diffuse it, then yes, but not if you're shining the light directly on the subject you're shooting.
@@RaphealPersaudhow do i bounce the light ? thanks
Just need to read what is actually written : "If you bounce the light of a wall".
Would you recommend this for a sparklers exit? From photographer point of view? I am afraid it is too strong?
I believe I actually did a sparkler exit using one of these lights as a hairlight for the couple. It was outside during the night so the effect was amplified.
Thanks for watching!
@@RaphealPersaud and what about the main light like front of the couple? That’s what I was more thinking of.
@@pyroBlastM Haven't tried it but if you're using sparklers, I wouldn't recommend additional lights facing them... Don't wanna overexpose plus I don't think it would look flattering.
how long does a npf 970 battery last you in one wedidng or how many do you have in one day?
I use the big ones. Lasts all day for me.
How bright do you usually set the light at the receptions? Do you go to 100?
No more than 50% to be honest. This light is way too much at 100%. Guests might get annoyed at how bright It is so you have to be considerate.
