This location really sucks! It had very little space and terrible decoration. And in this workshop
We had only three available and at the same time low budget light sources.
It was godox 300vl, apurture 300dII and Nanlight pavo tube 30c.
Honestly, I myself did not expect that the location would be so small and ugly.
But let's look what could be done for the aesthetics of the scene.
The first thing that I can improve and add in this scene are props. For this location I brought
the books, tulle, table lamp and two plants. All these props I rented for this project.
Everything else that you see was in the location already. The placement of props
is not a quick matter. Because in this process we have to think about the beauty of the frame.
When I'm filling the scene I think about composition balance in the frame.
For example. The left sector should not be overloaded and the right should not be left empty.
I try to balance all sectors in the frame with props or people.
In this project I used sender mars 400s from Hollyland brand. On the workshop or any other
project, I have to translate on the second screen all that the main camera are looking at.
Because it is really convenient for me and my assistants stuff or focus puller.
I don't like to use the cable for broadcasting. Anybody can accidentally graze and pull it out.
It is constantly being walked on, and it also needs to be pulled over long distances. For my
tasks I use Hollyland 400s. At the time when there is very little time for preparation,
this thing very quickly connects to devices and works without settings and headaches.
I connect transmitter to camera with HDMI. I put NPF battery and set the channel
through which the signal will be transmitted. The transmitter has
8 channels. Also, I can adjust the signal quality.
If the quality of image on the second monitor is low, then the signal will be faster.
What about light setup. In this scene I used only one artificial light. You can see
backlight on the left shoulder. This is nanlite pavotube 30c. Why I put it here? Maybe because
I wanted to give the volume in this frame with light.
Additional light sources give the scene a contrast of light and shadows.
All other light is natural. Like a practical and ambient daylight from the window.
For the volumetric light, I also used a little smoke.
In the new scene if I turn off top down practical light,
I get low-key light from the window. This light is very low. And the character merges
with darkness. I’m turning on the godox 300vl for window light imitation.
It looks like natural because I make artificial light look like natural light from the window.
I put playback monitor in the other room. And the Hollyland
gives great signal of image through the wall.
To make the light from godox look like the light from the window,
I slightly changed the direction of the light.
For next sunny setup I added one more light source. It was aputure 300dII.
I directed it straight to the floor. We got the bounce light
from the floor. This effect helps to show sunny weather outside the window.
And on the next scene I had the doubts. I wanted to make something new with light.
The first thing that I try was silhouette scheme for female character.
The second attempt of the set, I was trying to get sunlight with
fake light to the right side of the camera. But I didn’t like all this.
In the end, I settled on fill light technique. I used practical light on the background
and soft key-light on the right side of the camera.
So all this looks like fill light with contrast of two different temperatures. Cold and warm.
Thank you for watching and see you soon.
