In this video we take a quick look into the projection mount (in this case, the Nanlite PJ-FZ60) and a few extremely useful and practical ways it can be used to light when you're in tight, awkward spaces - or to create effects that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.
Camera:
Panasonic LUMIX S5
Samsung Note 8 (BTS)
Lenses:
Samyang 50mm t/1.5 VDSLR
Sigma 85mm f/1.4

I forgot to flip that BTS photo around for the first setup - apologies if it comes across as confusing! ;)
I honestly hadn't put too much thought into the projection/spot mount, as I'd rarely used a tool like this - but it's such a useful tool, especially for budget setups where you don't have much room to place lights!

That Noir style shot was so good.
Thanks Preston! Also super fun to shoot with just hard light, wish I could do it all the time haha
Agree
Seriously, I have learned more about Light from you than any of my professors.
The amount of people that say this is kind of scary haha, I never went to any sort of film school so I genuinely have no idea what sort of things are taught there! I'm super happy you're getting so much info from my channel - thank you so much! :)
Thats because teachers today are dated. And when it comes to lighting, they dont know anything except basic stage lighting principles lol I dropped out of my photo program and video students who stayed always said I taught them more lighting in a one class than an entire year of their program did. They do nothing with modern creative lighting. You’re lucky if they even have gels or “cookie cutters” lol But thats it. They only teach the studio standards, not impromptu lighting intuitiveness.
Really love these videos! I’ve seen so many tutorials on YT about this kinda setup, and Robs are always bang on. Loads of angles, and very in-depth. Defo the best channel for lighting
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot, really! :)
Music always makes me happy and your present
Thank you so much! This comment makes me happy! :D
This is my favourite video on lighting - ever!
here we go again, another masterpiece!
Thank you so much Viacheslav!
Rob will smile on a video when he hits 100k subscribers.
Hahaha, maybe ;)
These videos teach you how to actually think about lighting better than anything I have ever seen. Keep it up.
That's what I'm hoping comes across! Thanks so much Aaron!
Dude. You're a legend. Every. Single. Time.
Thank you so much man, I really appreciate it :) and happy you're enjoying the videos!!
Overhead lighting brought me here. This is well good. Crackin'.
Happy it did! Thanks so much! :)
MAN! YOU JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER EVERY VIDEO!
Haha thank you so much Isaiah, I appreciate it!! :)
Best dramatic actor ever!!!
I recently got a old small slide projector for 20 bucks that I've been using kind of like this. It's basically a 500 watt bulb with a series of lenses that focus the light. A couple of issues with this method is
1.There is no way to control the brightness.
2. It is only one color temperature.
3. It's very bulky and has to be mounted to something sturdy.
4. It uses a ton of electricity and has a pretty loud fan and gets dangerously hot.
5. It takes a while to get it set up.
But for just 20 bucks I've been having a lot of fun with it. The lens can be removed to throw a ton of light at something and I'm going to make a soft box for it. I'll probably use it as a permanent mounted light in my studio.
Broooooo! You are a genius! 3:38
The amount of great proposals and insights you give in each video are amazing. Thanks Rob
I'd love to see some of your favorite setups with tube lights!
glad I found you, your a god at lighting. I’ll see you around.
Aaaand more gear to add to that "eventually gonna buy" list. Thank you for this incredible video!
Haha I apologise! ;) thank you for watching man!! :)
Rob, you’re brilliant. I always look forward to your videos. Can’t wait to see where your journey goes
Thank you so much Chandler :)
such a great tutorial as always
So awesome!!! Thanks for your tutorials! I could found much more ways to play with it because of your video!!!💙👍
Thanks guys! Keep up the good work with the awesome lighting gear! 💙
Hey Rob, another outstanding video, thank you!!
I love these videos, thanks for sharing all this knowledge!
Thanks so much Charles! :)
Definitely getting that Nanlite!! 😍😍😍
This channel is top-notch. Wow.
Thank you so much! :)
This is bloody fantastic mate!!!
Thanks mate!! :D
Love your videos man! you are so creative with lighting! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for the kind words Mehran, and thanks for watching! ❤
Cove lighting for the win! Thank you Deakins ! Love this channel, thanks for sharing all this great stuff
Deakins is most definitely the man! Thanks so much Rob! :)
Oh my god! This is gold
These are excellent videos. Almost all these techniques apply to photography speedlights, but I've never seen anyone actually use them.
Thanks, I admire the cinematography here, really high quality. Have you thought about placing affiliate links for all the gear you mention? I believe this could be a good, non-intrusive way of getting some more side revenue on top of Patreon and the grading tutorial :)
thank you for the content! I am in china and just contacted Nanlight chinese official seller, and introduced me that it makes Forza60, 17 times brighter using the 19degree projection mount!
Thanks Rob ~~~
This channel is a blessing for me
Haha that's awesome, I'm super glad it's helpful! :D thank you!
@@RobEllisCinematographer Keep going. I learn something new everyday I watch your videos.
Very useful light. Thx for share
Thank you Yannick! :)
You are one of the few people on TH-cam who puts up really amazing content to learn cinematography. Congrats man!
May I ask what camera would you advise for video (in terms of quality) between a BMPC 4K and a Panasonic S5? I think you have used both right?
Cheers from Spain
My dear friend, you are the next ROGER DEAKINS
Haha no way! ;) he is leagues above! But a bloody wonderful compliment all the same - thank you so much!!! 🙂
The noir style looks amazing! I would love to see a video on it
Thanks Tom!! :)
Just wanna say, you're the damn best brooo!!
Thank you so much man, I appreciate it!!! :)
Amazing dude 👏
Thanks Eifion!! :)
I love your Video 🚀
Thank you so much!
Best vids bro.
Thank you Alex! :)
he's an outstanding DP
Thanks so much Yan!
great video!!
Thanks Rodrigo! :)
Awesome video as always!! Would you say the S5 is becoming your main workhorse camera these days?
hands sown the best moments of my month!! once again thanks for sharing mr. rob !
EDIT: Actually comented before watching hehehe and just now saw that Black and white session and it was super cool heheh
EDIT 2: Must say it was an unoficial "lighting in small spaces", hehe and was fantastic!
Ah thank you so much Luis, happy you're enjoying my videos so much! Thanks for the kind words! And you're right, it was kind of an unofficial small space video haha, the great thing about the projection mount is that it can be used for way more than just what I've shown in the video - so I think it definitely needs some more videos to explore that! :)
Nice one! 👏👍☺️
Thank you! 😁
You are the light master! I was wondering about that Blackmagic monitor you're using, and if you ever considered a matte box, something like PolarPro Basecamp, to amplify your cinematic production that already looks inanely good! Like those bluemorphic and yellowmorphic filters, diffusion (mist), etc.
Wicked.
Hey Rob, thanks for all the informative videos. Currently trying to figure out where to put money on my first big lighting expenditure. Is the Nanlite system a good route to go for someone with less then a 1k budget? Looking to do Narrative work
Again a creative approach to finding solutions to shoot in tight spaces. Not enough room for lights, stands and negative fill is probably one mayor issue for every indie shooter. I'm wondering that you never checked out flexibel Led as they can also be a life safer when you need soft light in a tight space. You could get very similar results with them and they're affordable. I recommend checking out the falcon eyes 18. They honestly won't last forever but they're cheap, very good color rendering and easily powered by V Mount. Would be very interesting to see this in your hands ;)
Thank you and keep on rockin'!
Greetings from germany!
Thank you Josef! The flexible LED mats are also a great option yes - I've actually eyed the Falcon Eyes ones a few times, just never pulled the trigger. Great to know they have good colour rendering! I'll have to have a look into it very soon :) thanks so much - and greetings from the UK!
Hey Rob when are you going to make a movie man? You've got the skills and the talent!
Thanks so much Miles! And at some point I'm sure! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer When you do, I'm there to Hollywood a light or your coffee.
Another great video. This demo makes me think about what LightBridge is trying to make. Unfortunately their demos were so confusing. Very interesting and inspiring system though.
Thanks so much! :) and absolutely, spot and projection mounts are the perfect accompaniment to a system like the CRLS :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer Seriously you should take a look at their demos and ask them to let you give a try :-)
Someone else mentioned this to me in another video and gave me an email address - so I'll get round to asking very soon :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer Great! This the only demo video that made sense to me th-cam.com/video/TaChSh---kc/w-d-xo.html. I was fascinated by the concept, but I couldn't answer 2 basic questions, "how to use it?" and "why bother" after I watched other demos :-)
Great vid again Rob. Would love to know how many lights you have now?
Thank you!! :) and I'll never have enough! ;) haha
Great lighting vid!
But my cinematographic OCD was triggered as your gobo is the negative as what the practical blinds would project.. The gobo needed small openings and large shadows.
😊 I feel calmer now...
Keep up the great work!
You caught me ;) in hindsight I perhaps should've angled the blinds up a little more to match - good eye! Thanks so much! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer not meant as a neg, just a point.
Keep up the great inspirational & technical informative vids! I'm learning a lot!
@@DucatiKozak absolutely, I'm thankful you pointed it out! 😁 thanks so much, I really appreciate it and happy you're learning a lot! :)
Ah! A digital joleko , very cool
Absolutely, and you can get them for some of the more powerful single chip LED's too, which is lovely!
very niice
Thank you Alessandra!!
Can you use this projector with other lights with bowens other than the nanlites?
I adore your videos on lighting! So helpful!
BTW how's your love affair with the Lumix S5 coming along? I'm planning on nabbing one for myself in about a month or so, in part due to your video! :D It's insane how capable that camera is for its price. Arri-like footage for $2000? Whew.
Thank you so much, happy you're finding them helpful! Me and S5 are still in the honeymoon phase haha I really dig the camera, extremely nice image and like you said, it looks and feels a bit like a modern Arri sensor, I would definitely recommend grabbing one! Only downside is I kind of wish I had the S1H, so I could take advantage of the BRAW they just introduced in conjunction with the BMD video assist - it would beautiful if they introduced that to the S5, as it would save me a lot of time in post not having to convert ProRes Raw to something Resolve can use!
@@RobEllisCinematographer I agree, it'd be a godsend if Panasonic were to release a firmware update that allowed S5 users to output BRAW at some point.
Hey rob going great.... have you used any sony camera for lighting setup... ?? Make any video with sony series a7siii or a7iii
Unfortunately not! I've always been curious about the Sony cams, especially the A7S series, but I've never really shot with any of them!
@@RobEllisCinematographer I wonder if you make with on lighting setup with sony a7iii or latest as7iii.. It will great experience for you in logs profile.
would a Fresnel mount give even more output?
Can you do a video on the continuity of lighting between shots?
This is a great idea - I may just add this to the list ;)
@@RobEllisCinematographer Thanks, I guess this is a problem that comes up when one hasn't mastered the techniques. U see, on my amateur level, I get the shots that look "pretty", but then I can't reproduce them in the next shot.
how do you grade like this?
anyone used this *and* the aputure spotlight product?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What camera did you use to shoot this 12.05 scene.
This was all with the Panasonic Lumix S5, shot ProRes RAW with the Atomos Ninja V :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer I have an S1 and have never tried RAW. I thought the results weren't that different from internal 10bit vlog. But your images make me want to try RAW. Any specific way you color grade your images..?
Coming from a theatre background, it was strange seeing this fixture referred to as anything other than just 'a profile', or 'Source 4'.
Haha I can imagine that is strange! Source 4's are quite commonplace in film also! :)
I want it
03:46 what's the film?
TH-cam's roger deakins
How do you record yourself, criticize the shot and fix it with you as a subject again? I'm thinking it's a LOT of back and forth to the camera and rewatching the footage...
With great difficulty at first, but now I've done it a few times it's a little easier! For focus, the classic focusing on an object where I'm going to sit - then when I'm sat there, using a wireless transmitter + phone/monitor to make sure I am, in fact, in focus (aswell as checking composition). In terms of my actual performance I'm usually just happy with my first take, but I do a couple just to make sure. I always do the same moody look since I'm not actually an actor in the slightest - since I've done it a fair few times now I can usually tell what it's gonna look like on camera without seeing exactly how I look and what I'm doing and generally it works well for these videos haha! The lighting I check with the wireless transmission and monitor also so I don't actually have to record anything til it's looking how I want it :)
Do you think this might make a good topic for a video?
@@RobEllisCinematographer Oh God, I completely forgot about wireless monitors ahahah. I said that because I tried once to take a portrait photo of me and I had to call someone else to stay where I would be so I could focus properly, I don't have a wireless monitor...
As for the video, if you want to make it you know that of course we are going to watch it, and I think that as it would be a kinda of personal video, I think a shorter one would be very good, you don't need to stretch it just to fit TH-cam's desires. I think it is a good idea, very interesting.
