Re: Shooting subject on a black background
Stephen, Jim had it correct--the closer a source is, the larger it is in relation to the subject and thus softer. Think of it this way: if you were to look at a 1x1 panel that is 6 feet away and...

Re: 1x1 LED Gels?

At least part of that is incorporated into products such as the Litegear Hybrid dimmer (LED LiteDimmer HYBRID LITEGEAR (http://www.litegear.com/product/led-litedimmer/led-litedimmer-hybrid/)). My...

Re: 1x1 LED Gels?
It stands to reason that the effect Shaun describes would happen because both sets of LED's are fully up when the color temp knob is at a halfway position, but only one set is up when it is at either...

Re: Where will you purchase the new Mac Pro?

Re: Level = not so much?
As a sort of side note, there tends to be a misconception about finding true level visually within a frame. A horizontal will only work as long as you are dead square to it; as soon as you are panned...

Re: Where will you purchase the new Mac Pro?

Re: Key & Peele spoof of vanity music videos
We've certainly explored the legacy look before on the show, from Season 2's sketch about Obama in college (shot on a 1985 Magnavox home video cam, originally owned by DVinfo's own Lorinda Norton):

Re: O'Connor Heads and Leaking
