Great idea. Im excited to try this one out. Thanks!

[TheMexicanstick]

thank you very much for your insights

[TheLastGoonie1]

I've been watching your tutorials and it's finally what i was searching for. Searched everywhere and no one really explained in detail. Thank you so much for these.

[WestbamVVVV]

Nice trick on the rotating gels on a stick :)

[TheAlanscott]

I think your tutorials are amazing Tom...Thisis the only disappointing one for me

[videospajza]

Sorry, did you say 500 W fluorescent soft boxes? That's an awfull lot of light :O Is it really 500 W or the equivalent of 500 W tungsten? Great tutorial, btw! :D

[Jamy729]

lol at the song.

[SteveHovland]

These days, you might bring in a flat screen TV, put it close to the subject, and let the variable light play on their faces.

[angerock49]

@SteveHovland Not enough light tho ^^

[MateoVegaFilms]

Thanks a lot Tom, this was exactly what I needed to know for a shot in a short film I'm doing.

Why do you use The Nikon 50mm 1.8 instead of Canon 50mm 1.8 ? I have the Nikon 50mm 1.8, but I don't know if I should buy a adapter or the Canon 50mm 1.8 for my 7D ? Hope you can answer my question (:

[polcan99]

@haddip I use the nikon 50mm cuz I bought that lens about 10 years before I ever even touched a Canon camera. Same with all my other Nikon lenses... so i use those on my canon 7D using an adapter cuz it's cheaper... but if you're buying new lenses then just buy Canons so you don't have to buy an adapter too. There really isnt much of a difference between the two.

[iguanacruda]

you are the man!! thanks for all this very helpfull tutorials!!

[ajsilmusic]

Another cool trick. You rule man... nice tutorial.

[JudicatorMX]

Your videos are very helpful. Well, I'm just a starter and don't have enough money to buy equipment, but hey... I have to start from something. Thank you for that. Question though... Do you work only with lighting? The picture writes "filmmaking tutorials + tips" and I thought it would be great if you could also show some camera techniques or tips.

[polcan99]

@JudicatorMX No... i dont only show lighting techniques. i will be showing other filmmaking tips soon. keep checking back! thnx!

[dcondax]

I honestly wish you posted videos more often :(

[polcan99]

@dcondax I know... that's why now i arranged my work schedule so I will be uploading a new tutorial every other friday. And hopefully in 2011 ever friday a new tutorial.

[dcondax]

@polcan99 I love you.

Thank you for sharing ...

I LUV U MAN...

[hiltonchief45]

Nice one Tom, thanks for this!

[fredNielssen]

I had to do something similar recently (simulating watching a large plasma screen) I approached it much more like lighting a fire place, we used a fan with different coloured gel "streamers" on it in-front of the light to create the random flickering, it created a subtler effect than this (though I like the heightened sense of reality, which I guess would fit into the comedy theme)

[LaCapital809]

spectacular!

[TheDASChris]

[LivingOnVideo13]
