      my honeycomb didn't do that to my image, I'm like what camera and lens combo does he use, that it handles and intakes the light totally dif than my GH5/godox w/ softbox & honeycomb grid... It frustrates me to no end 4 years later I still can't seem to pull off the cinematic look, or even just a half professional look.

  • @LuisFernandoImperator
    @LuisFernandoImperator 5 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I really liked the content, but I'll give my two cents about the format. The editing could be a little more to the point and you could show us the before/after more times and for longer. The payoff of seeing the light finished flies by too fast. We spend 5 minutes seeing the light being built, then see the finished light for two seconds. Without proper before/after to see the difference.
    Thank you for the video, my comment is in good faith and I wish you all the success.

    What is the advantage of using the fill light with the key light if you are looking for the flat beauty diffused kind of lighting? I saw your other video using just one light for the flat diffused lighting look.
    Also which LED panel light are you using for your fill light? I do not see that in your list of equipment used.
    Do you miss not having bi color lighting control with the Aperture 120D light?
