[actorboy381]

Great video for barn doors! I'm installing mine tomorrow!

[MsDeweyCox]

Why give the demensions in centemeters, why no inches we are still in america are we not?

[studiohorizon]

Excellent job Mark , just the kind of info we aspiring filmmakers need to get great results with our micro budgets

[ravicurious]

For how much time you can keep the barndoor light switched on????

[odionxl]

WOW i didn't even know you could do that. I need to go get some work lights thx mark!

[realtytour]

Two different size hinges (depth) might solve the overlap for storage issue? Anyway, that's what I'm going to try...

Awesome tips & trick like it Mark ; D

[LouisDiBianco]

Great energy. Great style. Great info! Thanks.

[JohneRebel01]

What is the whole purpose for using barn door lighting and how bright should the light bulb be ?

[sonne5]

I'm trying to add barndoors to my scoop lights but can't seem to find tension hinges small enough.

[freestylefilmsinc]

mark you should add dimmer switchs on them

[mymomomo1]

Thank you! You are incredible!

[klbasey]

Tried this on a work light last night and I must that say mine doesn't look quite as good as the pair you did. My hat goes off to you, sir.

[SonicOrbStudios]

Awesome addition to a shop light.

[xiaoyangkao2]

thanks for all these tips 

[Abuharon1]

Thank you

[Abuharon1]

Loud music, my focus dispersion

[larsstefanaxelsson]

You were right to *not* wear gloves when drilling. Getting a splinter or a cut is much better than getting your whole hand ripped off (or at least a finger). Granted,  a small handheld drill is not a large drill press, but you'd be surprised how much torque even a smaller power tool can produce. The hard and fast rule in the machine shop (or wood working shop) is *no gloves*. (There are exceptions, e.g. when sheet metal is cut by any kind of scissors motion, as that produces a saw-like edge.)

[SacredEffect]

Hi Mark I just LOVE your video's.

I was at home depot yesterday and I bought a Piano hing

I will post a video of the matte box later.

[SacredEffect]

Hi Mark this is Kristy I'm building a matte box and I have the barn doors cut out

what kind of hinges will I need will I need to use the same hinges

you used this build it your self stuff is fun.

thank you so much.

[akush55]

here added: even if you pick the cheap paper thin sheet metal spot weld a frame on it, we got our sheets metal our local welding shop has heavy duty cutter we gave them design pattern in 20min, we had all 4piece or 8 (whichever) cut done / on the closing factor adding spacer on upper & lower barn door might help it.

[KDBcorporations]

ur awesome mark

[CapnAss]

If you make these barn doors and turn your light on with the doors closed, TAKE THE GLASS OFF THE LIGHT!!! The doors trap in the heat and cause the glass to shatter, no joke. It happened to me after being on for about 15 minutes.

[tulioalopez]

great video. Thanks

[TechSupport159]

[760inthehouse]

[BestUsernameEvah]

i wish i would have that lighting,camera and green screen.. mmmm

[CountryMaster16]

@BestUsernameEvah  do it yourself he makes diy videos so do it!

[BestUsernameEvah]

@CountryMaster16 don't have the money to buy the epic not cheap lighting, very good HD camera and proffesional green screen from tubetape.

[CountryMaster16]

@BestUsernameEvah you can do it also yourself good lighting is only high voltagee teh color correction is possible to do with an gel, course you can´t biuld the cam yourself with that quality buy also the green screen you can buy cheap and a lightstand to its the same thing

[Leichenfaeule]

pretty cool. but what to do with this lights? :x dont get it

[doc77777777]

I think this might void the warrantee. lol.

[leokimvideo]

yep, found you on instructables

[qwertyriffic]

awesome!!

[jito139021]

u shouldve painted yours black to show how proffesional it looked but very cool any way

[bushtrailer]

I have solved the fold-up problem. Use one pair of offset mounted hinges and the other pair non - offset. what A BRILLIANT SOLUTION!!!!!!!

[bushtrailer]

Hi Mark. I'll have to find those hinges at my local hardware!! The heat is the reason i'm changing over to CFL worklights. More expensive to begin with but you get the added benefit that you can use them with daylight, and have natural backgrounds and windows in the scene. Now I'll have a set of CFL and a set of tungsten.

[riplawliet209]

very interesting

[aphixe]

nice tutorial

[MasterAtherion]

[wabr6]

Hey thanks a lot I just bought my lights and was wondering how to make them more professional.. Take Care

[blee427]

This is very helpful. I have an engineering background and the doors I tried were crap.

I see what I did wrong now. Thanks again!

[kickflipredwing]

nice, this is perfect, saving hundreds

[Buchoass]

I laughed, I cried, I even sang, well! hummed alittle at the end..

2 thumbs up....

[anacondacartoy]

great advice! I am actually trying to make my own lights, its working out alright :)

[klopextube]

Mark, you have good information, but I think you use too many words. I believe you could fit all of this content in half of the time with some streamlining. Thanks for what you do!

[JulianProductionz]

make a tut of making of that screens for a camcorder.

[leokimvideo]

This is a great method of turning those work lights into something with a little movie magic attached.

It turns a $25 set of work lamps into a $300 set of film lights, you would be surprised how easy they are to sell once converted.

[techdew09]

your the best i was trying to think it over in what supples to get going from lights to green screens to softwere i dont remeber how to spell it haha so just thanks for making these videos they help me alot and im sure they help everyone else :)

[Nicoollle]

Awesome videos helped me ALOT

[RIPFILMS]

very informative. well done. I am going to add this on my website. :)

[odnidleunam]

ja, men your very cool, thats what im waiting for, thank you very much for that info.

[starartie184]

Brilliant! Thats like the coolest thing ever

[ClasenMovies]

I really love your movies... But I have never seen a video on how to shoot at night! Could you please make a video how to make it look real?

[fantasmateg]

Mark,

I really enjoy your site. I think that your videos also are very professional looking and I enjoy your excitement and upbeat delivery. Thanks for great videos - Dan

[cheesefool99]

thanks you are the best that helped me so much

[rzimmer1]

this was an awesome video and makes it great to make something very useful and at a great cost savings. thanks for the info. you just got a new subscriber!

[kaerfirarref]

Do you think that I could become a youtube partner with the videos, subscribers and channel I have now?

[pramjam64]

Mark,

Too many lights? Hmmm, I see a contest opportunity!

[declanlito55]

Your videos are so profesional.

[CL2movies]

nice! i have made one,and it's working but i gone sell it :P

[phatxsr20]

Can you make a video that shows how you would use barn doors?

[tishon24]

thanks for the tips really helpful, im just heading to the store to get these metireals hope i don't mess up LOL (Wish me luck) :)

[PARRAVISION]

why cant you trace the barndoors on paper, upload it as a jpeg and put it on photobucket so we can print a copy

[leokimvideo]

For people like me its a 5 hour build, I am as slow as a snail

[cottonproductions]

Hey MARK! This is cool... I have a suggestion for something I would love to see from you though.. I would really like to know some ways of diffusing the light from these type of lamps without softboxes. I have heard of "GELS" but dont know how to use them.. but I know they are usually about $20 for a pack of diffusion gels. Would really like to be able to do this. Thanks!

[travestyalpha]

Awesome Mark. I've been considering trying this, and now you've spelled it out quite nicely. Saves me the trouble of inventing my own.

[CoryHeimann]

thanks man

[UploadPancakesHere]

This was the best video you've done - this is something we can really use.

[andhisband]

Very good how to video.

[SciFientology]

How do you use Barndoors?

[markapsolon]

to direct your light

[TheBourneVictor]

thanks man, I was just asking myself how can I hook up my working lights and I just stuble apon your video. this has been a blessing. God bless brother.

[esaudio]

Amazing Mark! I love your channel! Simple, practical and very funny as well!By the way, do you sell these home made barn doors?

Thanks

[baudalair1]

I love your videos man I am seriously considering ordering my equipment through Tube Tape!

[MicheleMidnight]

sighhh...i need decent lights. some day! :)

[shomes14]

Very cool. It's a looks great!

[SingwolfProductions]

Wow, I was actualy thinking about how I could do something like this, and what do you know, this video comes out. Thanks!

[dizzylizzy6]

thats realy cool !

[Blimp01]

cool, ill try this if i need better lighting in my future videos

[leokimvideo]

opps, back again, I forgot to rate..!

[leokimvideo]

Also this video is exactly why I have so much respect for your channel.

I have seen this done before, but never explained simply and easily.

[leokimvideo]

Mark, there is a website called instructables, these sorts of videos do very well there, lots of interest..

Its a very serious home projects place on the net.

[markapsolon]

thanks for the insight...lol get it..lol :)

[crockerfilm]

sweet! can you do a tutorial how to ad barn doors to a round light? like a clip light?

[crockerfilm]

i mean clamp light

[zachmanZM]

I don't think you would need barn doors on a clamp light, my clamp light has a reflective housing, And I don't think it would work very well.

[markapsolon]

I'll look into it and see what I can do. You might be able to use some of the tech in this video and apply it ot the round clip lights

[jhabinsk]

Thanks for the tutorial, this is just perfect for me

[ollieblade]

why is there a piece of blue tape on some f the screw bags?

[markapsolon]

no logos... you can not show a logo on a video without written permission. some companies will sue you over it. Harley Davidson is one of those that will. I was just playing it safe in this video

[JoeFielding72]

That is awesome. I need to do that. Have a great weekend my friend. God bless you and your family.

[areskzc]

Excellent made My friend!

Quick note! The smoke that came off the light after you work on them is usually is hand skin "oil" that evaporates. Happens a lot when you touch the glass with your bare fingers. But as said before is pretty normal.

[markapsolon]

the smoke is from the paint...believe me I know :)

[directsound]

Mark how did you get a 15 min video up?

thanks DJ Mikey Mike

[zezima888]

hes a youtube partner see the add? or under the subscribe button you will see the "tube" button

[markapsolon]

[grandiosefilms]

[AMCastHot]

[dcondax]

[conorzim]

Hey great video but can you put a light box onto a work light? That would be great for my budget. Thank you.

[isegoria1]

Are your barn doors open? :-)
