    good tutorial, I have a question. I’m a filmmaker and have used cameras before but the footage of my 60d always looks noisy and bad… No matter what I set the iso or shutter speed it still looks bad… can it be my cf card? EXTREME sandisk 8gh 30mb/second

    “… genre that your film should be, you have to set-up your dslr”

    “… a sin city look”

    I cant understand words at 0:49: “If you know what kind of look you want to have for example by watching your favorite movie or movie of the same… what??? ”
    and at 3:10: “and others …what???…look”

    @FenchelJanisch2 can you explain the sharpness? and what turning it down does to benefit the footage on a TV or large screen?

    Thanks!

    Search his channel, he teaches how to colour grade in a different video.

    To be honest, this tutorial doesn’t really teach how to get the film look. It is rather the beginning step of getting it. Should be re titled How To Get A Flat Image. I agree with ^^^^him.

    It would be a shame if you did not build muscle when normal people accomplish it easily using H6x Muscle Monster (search for it on Google).

    Honestly, a kit at that price point that includes more than one light is going to be disappointing in a big way. You would be much better off going with a speedlight/”strobist” arrangement with adjustable manual flash (like the Yongnuo 460II/560II models). Cheap strobes usually have only full-stop power adjustments and 8-10 second recycle times. At $600ish, you can find kit offerings with good adjustability and non-frustrating recycle times, including Adorama’s own Flashpoint “M” model kits.

    That is a Profoto flash head you’re seeing, and Mark usually uses a Profoto Acute pack to power it. It’s not clear which pack is used here, but it’s probably the Acute 1200 (1200 J/W-s), since the 2400 is major overkill for the usual small-format shooting apertures when you’re not using a HUGE modifier (like a 7-foot octobank or parabolic) from a relatively far away (6+ meters/20+ feet). The modelling light you can see “live” in the video is a 250W tungsten bulb.

     

  30. essellar

    January 29, 2013 at 2:21 am

    With most lights, it’s the other way around. There’s a “proportional” setting that varies the modelling light power as you adjust the flash power. When you use a separate dimmer control for the modelling lights (that’s not a common feature; you usually just get on, off and proportional), all it adjusts is the modelling light. That lets you see the key light shadow patterns better, but still gives you a hint of “bad” highlights spilling from kickers if you pay close attention.

    Mark: With the studio type strobes, when you turn up or down the modeling light does it also change the strobes flash at the same ratio

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for these videos, they are all awesome..very helpful. I feel I am in a room learning with others from your lectures. Keep posting.

    Btw, I use a 50D Canon and Aperture 3 to edit pictures. I tried printing some photos and they came out pixelated..bad resolutions. Hope you can come up with a video about how post-processing and how can I prepare my photos if i like to print them , say 8×10 size or even bigger for wall presentation.

    Cheers!

    We used the flash.

    Yes, the strobes are the only light source.

    Was flash used to take the photos or was it just the light?
