Did you actually read the description?

Had a tonnnn of fun with this one. Hoping to do more like this, let me know what other types of gear or setups you’d like to see?
@@RyanKao I would say carrying case or camera bag.
@@RyanKao here’s a good one, I want a flexible LED mat for overhead lighting since it makes your life easy. But I have LED panels that don’t weight much. I can hang it overhead but need a way to diffuse it and not letting it spill over the sides. Any ideas?
Mirror and 6x6 frame ideas were genius! Dope video bro
Only slight hiccup with the 6x6 is mounting it lol... couple super clamps does it but looking for some better hardware soon. Love you bro!
With all the cheap gear on the market I miss all of the old DIY days. It's good to see DIY is still alive and well! The fan is pretty genius, and the scrim frame is a great option as well!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!
Your videos have helped me so much you don't even understand. I've been trying to find affordable, good quality lighting gear that a student can afford and these ones are perfect. thank you.
Great to hear Miranda!
Not commenting to win anything, just want to say that I'm glad you are still posting TH-cam content, I look up to you so much as a filmmaker.
You're the best and I deeply appreciate your Mikey.
So true! Keep it going Ryan.
I found the best way to reproduce Lightbridge/Lightstream/Liteflow panels is to buy aluminum panels and learn how to polish them to various degrees of reflectiveness. You use a car polisher/sander with pads of 400 600 800 and 1000 grit and then aluminum polish for a mirror finish - lesser polishing for diffusion levels.
Works very well and then add corner protectors on the sharp corners.
For mounting use mini and regular magic arms with camera suction cup mounts to attach the various panels.
Saved… I dunno $6K. LOL
Great idea/suggestion! Thanks a lot! 👍👍👍
@@paulhorn24 Hit me up if you need help, if you actually start making them.
The fan in front of the fog machine is genius, can't wait to try it. Love from Lebanon!
Thanks for this video. I'm starting to film for animal rescues and looking into inexpensive lights. This is excellent.
Mann the finesse is inspiring. The true spirit of filmmaking
Always nice to see videos with cheaper solutions for filmmaking! Thanks man! 😌
this was a really cool video. I shit you not I have been thinking about doing the frosted spray paint mirror trick for a while, now that I saw you do it and the results I'm gonna give it a try. Thank you for this video!
Ryan - this is the first time I've come across your videos! I love your vibe and the way you speak to camera. So so good!
So happy to hear from you Chris! I really appreciate the kind words. Hope life is good on your end!
the fog with the fan idea is genius !
I absolutely LOVE to light a scene. As a one-man-band it can be tough and time consuming but so rewarding :)
It really is!
Reminding people where it’s worth spending money and where you can hack your way to solutions is SUCH an important learning! I’m so glad that you’re doing this, as the community seems to need this reminder every few years. The last great one I remember was PotatoJet’s Home Depot lighting run, and I’d put your video up there with his for hacks. Keep up the fantastic work!
It is always nice to try out new lighting techniques at home. The homemade mirror reflector looks really good!
Yes! Thank you!!
I love the fact that you continue practicing your craft. Its a never ending pursuit!
Using mirrors to create interesting lighting was a great idea !
I feel like mirror, stand, and negative fill are underrated in TH-cam video making, so many people focus on the camera and accessory but your video shows that reflection can make a scene beautiful
As filmmakers who work with a limited budget and first starting out, these are actually some quite creative ideas to work things around, its always nice to see people solving problems rather than complaining I dont have this piece of gear thats why I can't create this💯
Ryan i would love to see more recreational shots from movies and personally that was my fav video of your channel ( practicing cinematography in cheapest camera one that you made previously ) and really helpful video btw ❤🤝
Great to hear. I have a lot of fun making them, so it's definitely something I'll continue to pursue here on the channel!!
Light would come in handy, trying to improve my lighting gear for my vlogs and branching into wedding videography. Also love your quality content 🫶🏽
I'm always amazed at the quality of some of the chinese "knock off" lighting and video kit. Some of it is incredible.
Usually when I watch videos about budget gear, something that throws me off is how sometimes they say things like "this light is just 200 dollars" and simply show the gear. Here, I think you did an amazing job. Even though some of these are not as cheap as I would like, I just love the way you try to show us how good these are for the price, and also show how to take advantage on them. I even added some of these to my wishlist 😂 Props to you, bro!
The mini fan in front of the fog machine was clutch. I’d like to get into product photography to get funds for more gear, and there’s a ton of smoke shops with very little to no branding or content, that tip will be super helpful.
Someone finally covered that cheap cob light. I’m not surprised it’s sold out now. I’ve had one in my cart for months, amazed that it never sold out of the 2-3 it claimed to have left. Oh well. I always held off because I was worried the color accuracy would be pretty subpar. But always kept it in my cart for in a pinch kind of purchase.
This couldn’t have came at a more perfect time. I have been looking for scrims and just been trying to find ways around spending that money. Thanks man!
No problem 👍
Working with light is frustrating and inspiring at the same time. I like it when I find the way to do more with less. Still. it is always good to have the right equipment, so no to have any excuses to procrastinate. Thank you for the tutorial.
It can absolutely be both! But it's such a great tool in every way despite initial reservations. You're more than welcome. Thanks for the watch.
The mirrors with the frosted coat are a great idea!!
this is my fav video, taking cheep lighting and use it to create amazing results
So glad you enjoyed it!!!
This was super helpful 🔥 I was pretty overwhelmed trying to find a light for my business I am trying to start up
So glad this helped! Hopefully you can find something that works for you. Here if you have if any questions!
Another frugal tip is to get charcoal/black fiberglass screen door material as a scrim. It will give you about 1.5 stops as a single, but you'll want to keep it out of focus, or you might get moire patterns. Makes no noise, unlike window film that isn't being applied to the glass.
bro your production level is so high!
6x6 idea is geniussss. also love the amazon came-tv light. looks super promising
It honestly works great! Little weak compared to a proper 1" frame, but can absolutely handle most needs
This is a very expensive industry to be in but I love every bit of it. Thanks a million for showing us these more inexpensive options… i bought the Ulanzi fog machine and i love it..great idea by adding the fan. I’m not saying you’re a genius but you are making some genius moves lol
Your video is a gateway to get into cinematic lighting
I have Nanlight FC500 and Same Fresnel. Loving this video, great work.
Thanks for watching!
I’m getting ready to shoot a no budget doc and have been exploring some of the same options.
I really appreciate a lot of the setups that you have shown. It has made me rethink how I focus on setups with lighting. Thank you.
My pleasure!!!
The mirror idea is nice, I would use plywood or heavy card stock with aluminum foil over it instead. You could attach the mount to it using screws. It would be much more durable and lighter, getting you close to the same thing. I have used this trick when shooting food,
Dude, this was a fantastic video. Nicely done!
I always come back to your channel when I feel uninspired! Great video bro!
This is amazing to hear. Appreciate it Chester.
You're such an inspiration and your authenticity is really appreciated
Thank you so much Radeen. Appreciate your comment
Little grip trick for NDing windows - bucket of soapy water and a squeegee 😉. Works great. Hard gels are another matter and a pain in the cranium.
Oh, and Rosco is another go to. 👍
this saved me on a shoot recently. excellent trick!
@@patrickcasella checked out your channel, pretty cool. 😎 If you’re ever working on a film in LA and wanna free hand, I like working on indie stuff when my schedule permits.
@@KenDavis-uo8kq absolutely, do you have an instagram or email where I can reach out to you?
Ahh this is so good. Thanks for stopping by man
The most evident thing I've learned from film school people on youtube is that the standard for "the cinematic look" now required 87% shadow in the frame, even if you have to go 1.5 to 2.0 stops under.
Then just add smoke.
Wow Ryan. I was surprised that I wasn't subscribed to your channel. I fixed that. This is fabulous. Thank you.
Welcome! And thank you!!
Been coming back regularly, always insightful and helps keep me motivated to get it done by any means necessary
Thanks for your support!!
i needed this video fr fr, I was looking for a video that showed real life budget gear thats usable in the field, thank you!
Absolutely!
Always fun when a video like this gets made. Especially with everything being work-work-work; It helps re-inspire me to get back into the fun that IS storytelling/filmmaking.
Dunno if the giveaway is still going on, but would be dope to add this light to a setup for YT and for productions! 🙌🏽
I love the sun film on the window effect. I suggested this once and it worked wonders for our budget and I ended up getting a fair tip in the payment my client gave me at the end for saving them some money. loved the entire video!! Specially the fog machine. Going to save up to get that. Thanks!
Great video. I am just starting out learning to do film making. I don't have a lot of equipment but I plan on adding a video to this channel soon. The frame idea definitely gives me ideas. I'm just waiting to purchase a wide angle lens and a decent key light to start. I love the look/color grading reminds me of I do with photos.
Thank youu! These are some great recommendations and your shots look great, new sub!
Welcome!! Thank you!!
Great video with so many practical solutions for lighting a scene. Thanks for this amazing content!
My pleasure man!!
This video is so sick. I feel so encouraged. Playing with light is the current thing I'm working on, I just bought my first powerful light and cant wait to build my kit with more lights and flags and gaffing gear.
Go for it man! Thanks for the watch!
okay tutorial on your lil fog / fan gadget asap. lol dope as always, Ryan. it's not about the tools, it's knowing how to use / who is using the tools
So kind... Thank u!! But honestly it's pretty simple, the fog machine has a 1/4 20 on the bottom and I just used a little magic arm and a clamp to hold the fan!
looks like some pretty awesome options!
Great texture! I like your overall look. So much cinematic.
Thank you so much!
Love this! I am a student right now in photography and could use this!
Crazy tips!! Thank you! Going to film my first short film this summer! It's about someone who is determined on running a full marathon. So those tips will come in handy!!
Your methods have inspired me a lot! ❤ Hoping to improve further in my journey 😃 Specially that ZV-E10 video was such a motivational one! Thanks Man! 😊
Some great ideas in here, that light would be an amazing start to my kit.
You're in!!!
the came tv light value is actually amazing
Nice vid. Big fan of balling on a budget ngl. Some folks are so bent out of shape about specs when all they need is a good output and good color rendition.
Great video, just getting started so thanks for all the helpful tips
Glad to help!!
Great tips! Very cohesive and to the point video that proves there are no budget excuses to make a great image! Thank you very much!
Loving finding cheap or affordable hacks and gear. Neat trick with the fog machine.
Love your content bro. Been a fan for a while. Super helpful and engaging. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support dude!
Have you tried chrome wrap for a reflector. You could also use black mesh fabric on the outside for the window scene. I could use a free burrito 🌯
The shot close to the window with fog was dope.
I was looking for a content to find new ways to improve as a beginner filmmaker and this video its the perfect example to me to learn and find new stuffs. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you Dario!!
Loved the video. Also how you still look for ways to improve lighting practically and/or with a budget as well. Even with what you showed, I have some ways id love to try out lighting. It’s always been my weakest spot. Partially because it can seem so daunting to learn as there are so many takes on lighting and how to do it. I know it’s subjective, but wanting to have a great looking image doesn’t change. Any how, your videos have always been a great help. Thanks for your time and giving back to us!
So glad to hear this Lorenzo. Stick with it and don't stop challenging yourself to light and try new things. Make it your focus for a few months and I promise you it'll pay off big time. Thanks for being here bro
@@RyanKao Thanks a lot!
Good tips. Big fan of diffusion of natural sources. Overheads outside look so nice.
The audio on this video is so immersive and beautiful sounding 😎
Great content, I have been struggling with lighting on my shoots. Lighting is much more important than people think. keep creating.
i found your channel today and im already a fan! love the mirror idea!
Yay! Thank you!
@9:46 Has to be the best lighting and grade I've ever seen. Love your work and hoping I can achieve the same looks you get but from my A7III lol
Thank you man!!
Lights is what I need now that I am trying to make my first short film... anything will help...
Love the videos
Keep keeping on... 🤘🍻
Super sick video Ryan! Definitely keep it up with the Amazon finds !
Yessirr! More to come
Gotta try the mirrors!
i've been looking for a good light for some time now, this is actually a great idea!!
Glad you like it!!!
Love the 6x6 frame idea!
Thanks for the tips. Better light control is on my to learn list
You bet Bryan!
Like the mirrors and the diy haze fan on mount ... nice
I love the overhead scrim idea! I saw a similar build for that but out of PVC from Lowe’s
Awesome video brother. Appreciate all the info!
Ok thanks for making my whole ethos here at ICE, of thinking up, making and AND using budget gear, a thing, so I don't feel so crazy bringing them out on 'set'.
Glad to help!
Brother this is amazing, thank you so much!!
Great video! Super helpful reminder that we don’t always need the most expensive gear starting off. What are the clamps used for the 6x6 frame?
I don't know if you haven't given away all those toys yet, but here in Costa Rica, I could put them to great use. I am a filmmaker, and currently, I am buying some equipment, but everything is much more expensive here. So, I am looking for affordable equipment at great prices.
Great video, by the way! We need more of these.
6x6 frame is interesting!
Woooow another amazing Video 😮😮 keep up the great work!
Reasons to give me free lights:
1) I’m cheap.
2) I clicked your link.
3) There’s a 1/7 chance I’m a making my first short film.
4) Did I tell you that I’m cheap?
Wedding frame was dope
Appreciate the good explanations and the insights shared, which have already sparked new ideas for my work. Thank you
Thanks for the frame idea. I bought an 8x8 and saved $600 😅
Perfect! 🙌
I just try to find lights for my new studio this is going to be helpful :D Tnx Bro and you get sub
I own a few of the came tv lights. I’m actually shocked that more ppl aren’t talking about them. Powerful light. Built like a tank besides the plastic knob. App controlled. I would say it’s as good or better than every budget option from neewer, gvm and other companies in the lower tier. Especially considering the price.
Thank you for the pointers bro, I’ll be buying and using some of these soon 🙏🏾
Commenting hust to thank you for putting the information out there. That budget stuff aren’t always bad.
Loving the tips. That fog/fan idea was so good.
Glad you liked it!
