 Welcome to the Crimson Engine. My name is Rubidium. Today we are talking about lighting, photography lights and film lights and taking headshots. I'm shooting a headshot today for a friend of mine. I thought that might be interesting to show you guys behind the scenes and there's a couple of lights that I have had for years that I really love. They just updated them. They're called the Genere Spectro Lead. They are circular LED arrays. So they give this really amazing highlight in the eye, sort of like the sun or like a lamp. I use them in this clamshell arrangement where I have a upper one which is maybe three times the size because it's inside a optional octobox you can buy for it that has an inner baffle. It double diffuses the light and makes it really, really soft. And then the bottom one I use on a kind of chicken leg low stand to give a top and bottom bounce. You can see if I turn this off, the top is a really nice top light but it gives me those skull eyes. So if I balance it out with one on the bottom I get dual highlights in the eyes which I really like. You can also rig these directly overhead and have it sort of like a top light which lets you move around 360. And then for my backlight here I'm just using a Quasar T80 on a lighting stand with a C-Sand clamp and I've got that on a little 10 dollar lamp. I originally bought these lights to use as interview lights, matching pairs because I didn't like the square that the one by one panels gave you in the eyes, the reflection. And I have since used them for almost everything. I obviously a lot for headshots and photography. I use them for my narrative stuff. They'll show up in Neonuar a couple of times just because I really like that overhead balance with the underlight. It's very stylistic. You need to sort of motivate it but if you can get away with it it is a really beautiful light to use that isn't seen very often. There's a lot of crossover value between photography and filmmaking. That's the Genere Spectro LED 14. They're available on B&H. They have a bunch of accessories including a cool little remote control that lets you adjust the light remotely. Like I said the softbox, the octa box is really really helpful. And the fact that they're cheap you can really get a whole interview kit for under a thousand dollars with all kinds of modifiers that won't break the bank. Thanks very much for watching. Leave your questions in the comments and I will see you next time.
