entering this giveaway for my little brother who is an aspiring cinematographer. @aaron_visualss
@silvinafufu Love the use of mirrors and the easy way you made the 6x6 frame.
Good stuff!
Thanks for this video. I'm starting to film for animal rescues and looking into inexpensive lights. This is excellent.
Dude, great way of explaining things- thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
looks like some pretty awesome options!
thank you so much for opening i am going trough it too its so hard especially when you love your work but you just cannot function because you sometimes struggle to think clearly or motivation in generell and you have deadlines to accomplish but you just can keep going you will so succefull it will be insane thank you for all of your videos and opening up lets go
Ryan, which light stand are you using in this video? Thanks
I could def use both lights @mckaystewartphotography 🎉
@ciaran_mahony🔥
6x6 frame is interesting!
Not sure if the giveaway has happened yet but, @contentprovideo Thanks for the video man. Super helpful.
the only light i have is an aperture MC haha,. This video helped a lot.
slim chance but thanks for the rec, @sethykim
It's definitely not that price anymore lol 😅
@ssspeagram . Thanks for the video it helped a lot! About to shoot my first film!!!😊
Thank youu! These are some great recommendations and your shots look great, new sub!
Welcome!! Thank you!!
Love your work mate! Would love a chance to use this light! @liamvautier
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... 🤘🍻
but for iPhone it is opposite, 30fps doesn't look good ,even if u slow it down
Just went back to Amazon to check on this light, and it’s already sold out 😂😅
commenting to win
This is exactly what people said about digital cameras. There's no reason why you can't have purposed built cine lenses with auto focus. That's does not mean you can't override it and be creative. Being creative isn't about the tools
These are amazing tips! Cheers from L.A. @greenjoshua13
Cheers to you Josh!!
Great video Ryan. I had no idea Amazon had a budget light that was actually decent quality! @oxford1101
You're such an inspiration and your authenticity is really appreciated
Thank you so much Radeen. Appreciate your comment
I need that budget 310 light bad for my YT channel!!!! @stevestrooop
cool vid. Youre whole point abt the look of the camera can be achieved by throwing a monitor and a matte box on any other cam. the same hypothetical "ad" person who is gonna be wowed by the look of your tricked out rig will be just as impressed with anything with a matte box & a cage.
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,
the came tv light value is actually amazing
great vid
this was dope! i watched the full video great job.
I appreciate it! Thank you!!
Sometimes you just gotta choose 60FPS in a bright situation if you don't have a neutral density filter. For indoor lighting 30FPS is pretty doable and help lowering that ISO noise.
JUST built my youtube studio. This light would help me a lot. Commenting for a chance to win. @friendlybanjos
I am very impressed Ryan !
I have Nanlight FC500 and Same Fresnel. Loving this video, great work.
Thanks for watching!
😁I want the light
Genuinely one of the most insightful lighting videos I've seen. There's so much content out there that I can get overwhelmed with the amount of gear you'd need, but this video has showed me that less is more sometimes! Thanks for the insights man! @koppeltyler
Great to hear! Thank you!!
Followed && subscribed❤❤ I found you when I googled “best streaming lights on Amazon” I’m a live streamer looking for a good light or two… or three lol😅 but without having to save up a few pay checks just to buy these super pricey lights I see everywhere. Thank you so much for your video!! I’ve learned a lot!! ❤❤ 😊
The camera may be cheap, but the brain is EXPENSIVE!!!!
I have the fogger and fan. How you clamping the 1/4 20 to the fan?
@tableau0.o
Never a no for that one extra light 😅
damn this is edited so beautifully
I’ve need that small rig light like yesterday. This was a dope video appreciate seeing the creative ways you used less than expensive materials @bryangreenvo
tutorial on color grading please
what do you use to colorgrade?
@_petar_djukic, can I get it, please, I have been looking for a cheap lighting like that, I am begging you
Saves video for reference for inexpensive gear in the future...
especially that fog machine and fan...
@timothyjohnaguilar ❤
