 Welcome to the Crimson Engine. My name is Rubidium. Today we are looking at creative uses for a kilometer using the Sikonic C800 This is a pretty typical Scenario we have our key From one direction and then behind we have a practical light giving this nice red wrap around three-quarter backlight The problem is that practicals like this one Offer almost no output at all. So you have to supplement them with a real light The problem with this becomes how to match exactly something like a Ikea practical coming through red plastic, which doesn't really conform to any particular tungsten temperature With the fixtures that you have. So this Red light on the side of my face is actually being generated by a sky panel S60 on the bench Next to me. It's what's giving me color wrap around light and the exposure that I need to get a proper image the process of matching the sky panel to the practical is What we have to do is meet up the practical with the C800 in the XY Format this will give us a very precise form of color That the typical hue and saturation can't really compete with in this case It's point six eight one two in the X value and Point three one eight five in the Y value Then we go ahead and put the sky panel into XY mode We dial in our X and our Y values and then we choose the intensity or the brightness of the unit To taste so that it doesn't overpower the subject and it's still feasibly coming from the practical If we make this side much much too bright the audience be conscious that this is a lit scene and not a practical scene as you can see the Using XY we can match the color of this exactly. It doesn't matter if it's Old or the plastics faded or it's bouncing off a different colored wall With when you meet it with a kilometer you get the an exact value And if you have a light like the sky panel where you can input XY values, you'll get that precise same color That is how to match a Practical using XY with a kilometer to light your sets with an absolute color value Next we're going to look at another feature of the C800 which is the multi lights function What this allows me to do is meter multiple lights in my scene and adjust them With brightness and color temperature and color to match. So here I'm using a tungsten 200 watt as my backlight the tungsten is the only one that isn't Color manageable. So what I'm going to do is meter all three lights set the tungsten as my Light to match to and the light meter is going to tell me How much I have to adjust these other lights so that they match the color temperature of the tungsten? So I'm going to go into my multi light Mode I'm going to select light a Then I'm going to meter the tungsten light as it's hitting the back of my head and use my hand to cover the sensor So that none of the other lights are hitting it So now I have tungsten set the tungsten backlight set as my a I'm going to go back to the multi light setup and use This key light as my B light. I'm going to meter that and Then use My fill light as light see by tapping the small circle next to any of the particular lights I've needed I can set that as the one to match to it will now tell me what gels or Adjustments I need to make to these lights to have it match this one So now If I meter the B and C lights again, I should get something very different So now the light meter is telling me that pretty much all of the lights are in Within a hundred Kelvin of one another. This one needs a little less blue So now if I convert the camera into the appropriate white balance I will have a Perfectly exposed shot with three lights that match exactly in both color temperature and color cast So they are some creative uses for a kilometer like the Soconyx C800 if you like this video Please subscribe all the products listed Linked in the description Thank you very much for watching and I will see you next time
