To get soft lighting you either have to use diffusion or bounce the light onto the subject to create a large source. No pun intended 😀 In this setup, we have the Intellytech LC-160 2×2 LED with diffusion attached and grid to prevent light spill on the black background and a Quasar Science QLED bouncing into a large beadboard. I like how it wraps the talent and is nice and soft. Personally, I’m a big fan of large lighting sources.
We are also seeing lights with 95 to 98 CRI consistently in the lower price ranges.
LED lighting keeps getting better with options from fresnels to large panels and punchy RGB fixtures. Inside the yellow circle of the COB is an array of tiny LED’s that produce a single source. Even though the lights we do use don’t need to be as big and bright, we still need to use them.Ībove is what a COB or ‘Chip On Board’ light looks like.

Yeah, cameras are really good now with clean, high ISO levels, but we need to use lights. Lighting is one of the fastest changing and evolving parts of the film and video production world. At the end of the day, you tear it all down! I think it’s the kid in me that likes to build with Lego which is why I like shiny light stands and diffusion frames. As a result, I learn a few things plus it’s fun! Also along with lighting comes gripping. I also like to try new diffusion techniques as well as different types of fixtures. I’m not a guy who always does the same setup. When I have the opportunity to try something different I jump right in. Creating a mood or look is important to tell the story or the message you want to deliver. I love lighting! It truly makes the shot.
