- A quick easy intro to how you can create pleasing lighting for automotive filming.
I'm not going into a lot of detail in this video and there is certainly much more to look at with creating accent lighting and the more in depth analysis of where the lines on the car are and how to best enhance those. Instead this is intended more to encourage/inspire people who follow this channel to experiment with models so that when they come to work on full scale shoots they have a better understanding of what will get results!
Purposefully the equipment is fairly minimal, a LYKOS led panel, Halo diffusor, and some black/white card. Regardless of what your lighting source is the principals remain the same, clean, homogenous diffused light.
I'm going to make a follow up to this where I go into more detail and start to add more active light strokes to pick out details, grills, alloys etc.
so basically you light your subject/object as a thing a game with shaders and shadow and lighting fixtures
Heck yeah. Great way to practice. I'm looking forward to the in-depth video on the Aston Martin. In particular, I'd love to know about the scheduling and process behind setup, shooting, breaking down...moving locations. Basically, how to work quickly and efficiently. I often feel very pressed for time when I'm shooting cars, especially if it's for a smaller production or a private owner's showcase video.
We're always pressed for time 😅 Good subjects for a video though! Added to the list 👊
Love this. Actually very useful to practicing lighting automobiles
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
This is honestly the best tutorial out there. not only does it help with vehicles, but I found the white-card-black-card thing is really useful in other things such as my stop motions. This video is really helpful for people like me who have absolutely no knowledge on photography. huge thanks!!
🙌
That was such a helpful video. Thank you! great value here!
Did you make any follow up videos to this? I have not been able to find them if you have. Thanks!
Not yet 😬
Thanks a lot for that! I am lighting cars in 3D and these photographic priciples work just fine. Of course they do, because that's how it's supposed to be. :)
Tip: put a plastic bag on top of led light to help.
This was very helpful , I have a couple of questions , and it is regarding locations .Do you scout for locations when you do an outdoor shots , when you do have an outdoor area in mind do you do any sort of previz , what happens when the lighting conditions do not match the conditions you thought you would get , do you improvise shots , for example it was was cloudy and suddenly it starts to become really dark etc.
I dont think such kind of lighting expecting planes to reflect back light would work in blender but will give a try
I will never stop learning from you guys :) now am thinking that some car commercials are actually using miniatures for some shots :) I always told myself..the budget must be huge, all these lights, enormous softbox or lights rigging etc. thx
Very helpful. Thanks. For me this is very interesting because I built very fast lego cars. I need much more informations like that.
Sounds awesome! Glad it helped!
God bless you and, your family. Jesus loved you
Great video thanks for sharing. What scale model would you recommend for this type of photography?
Depends a bit on if you’re doing it as I was in a ‘studio’ set up or trying to integrate with other scale items. In general I’d say the largest scale you can get is best as it will tend to be more detailed and have few imperfections due to the size of the materials. That said some scales are easier to integrate with other scale models.
i love this. I would've never thought to experiment with model cars. i look forward to more of these + the car commercial breakdowns
Also an excellent way to make children jealous by having a special model car for filming that is on a high shelf!
Thank you for making this video. I have a model car TH-cam channel and I have been struggling to get some good pictures of my model cars and I have used that little LED light box flashlight. Maybe using some of your techniques might just help me out. Thank you again!
Glad it was helpful!
@@StillMovingMedia For sure!
Thanks, great tutorial, I was stuck for ideas when taking photos of my models.
Glad it was helpful 🙌
This is a great video...I have a lot of thinks to try from this video..It would be awesome if you can make the same type of clip but for filming model cars instead of stills :)
But anyhow...great video :)
Thanks for the great video. I will have my first shoot of a car very soon and therefore I am looking for lighting techniques. This really helped me. I never even thought of using a small model for trying out different lighting scenarios. The only problem I currently have is that I don’t really know how I can work with white and black reflectors on an actual shoot since they would be in the shot themselves. I for instance loved the light that was created by having the light cut from underneath the car, but if I would put anything underneath the actual car it would for sure be in the shot. If you are looking for video ideas, it would be great, if you could explain how it is done in practice. Thanks
Part of this can come down to staging and location, so you may choose a location with a darker surface on the floor. Also the position of the top light influences where light falls on the floor so pushing the toplight back a bit will conversely mean you could [place your negative a bit further from the car. This was an extreme example so that everything was really obvious but it might be the negative is further back, you an also potentially paint this out if you get a clean plate. A lot will depend on the shots and if there is movement of the camera or vehicle.
Still Moving , thank you so much
Awesome dude!🫵🏽🙌🏽 ❤️ It
In a real studio, you usually have to bounce light from the 'softbox' seen in this video. As it's so big only a few very expensive studios are offering soft box wall which is usually full of LEDs. My comment is to learn how to bounce light as well is important. It takes a full day to snap one angle if done professionally and the photographers are not lighting the car. The light grips or technicians doing it.
This was a really helpful video, learnt so many new things. Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video, as someone who shoots cars in a cyclorama I never thought of using model cars for training exercises etc. Nice!
🙌
Glad to found your channel, please do video for shooting car interior with the appropriate lenses needed for video not photo
You wouldn’t believe how appropriate the timing of this comment is!
Loved this video, will put it into practice, thanks for sharing.
🙌
Really nice and helpful!
Wow❤🎉
Wow, great Video! Thanks
Thanks 🙏
Really interesting and thought provoking - thank you
super cool idea, love it. I do wonder though as a solo shooter what other ways we can use without an overhead light as this is not available to most on a real car.
The sky early morning or late afternoon.... or a overcast day.
@@StillMovingMedia good shout,
LOve this video, please make more :)
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you
🙌
What type of diffuser is that?
We Lastolite ambassadors so that’s a Lastolite halo 👍🏻
@@StillMovingMedia Awesome thank you! And amazing tutorial!!!
cool
🙌
Learn a lot for car Photography
👊
I absolutely loved this video! And the other videos you've published as well. Great sharing of knowledge. Thank you! Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
