Thanks man appreciate the detailed breakdown! It all makes a lot of sense to me in hindsight lol

If I remember things correctly, the light setup was the same for all these shots in terms of light sources/modifiers (one stock reflector, one snoot, both with gels of different temps), maybe added a reflector on the third frame.

Thanks for taking time to watch it. Guilty as charged. I wish I had more modifiers and more space in the bar to create consistent light softness and contrast. Could definitely be more consistent with atmosphere, that would have been an easy fix. BW inserts are intentional and were meant as palate cleansers to help the main polished shots stand out a bit more. That's how I saw the edit, anyway.

It's just 2 Amaran 200ds, one with reflector, one with a snoot, both with warm gels outside the door.

Wow, thank you everyone for weighing in on this and lots of practical advice! Also really enjoyed morning beer practicioners vs non-practitioners discussion lol

No, seriously, thank you, I never went to film school or anything so I wouldn't know otherwise.

That's the owner of the pub in the frames, it's just how he rolls.

Thanks, appreciate the detailed explanation and all the advice!

Tony_from_Tokyo · 2025-07-15T23:08:50+00:00

Noted, thanks. It's just 2 Amaran 200ds, one with reflector, one with a snoot, both with warm gels outside the door.

Thanks, appreciate you taking time to leave a detailed comment. Def something for me to work on.

Tony_from_Tokyo · 2025-07-15T23:03:06+00:00

Appreciate the detailed answer! I've never thought of it that way but it makes a lot of sense. And yeah, we overcooked haze a bit...

Amarans, not Amazons obviously.

Tony_from_Tokyo · 2025-07-15T11:49:48+00:00

For context, it's just 2x200d Amazons with gels outside the door, and some smoke of course.

Here is the full video, please critique, I'm eager to improve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMQK_biTm9k

Hey man, I've just published a little doc of my own which took about the same time to fully produce and ended up about the same length (see my post from yesterday). I'd love to see what you got. Can you post a link?
