A common photography tool that is relatively uncommon in the film/video world - the beauty dish. This modifier creates quite a specific look that is very fitting for certain scenarios, like the one demonstrated in the video. These are tools designed with photography flashes and strobes in mind, not high powered, constant lights that kick off a lot of heat - I would think twice before shooting one of these with, for example, a 1200 watt unit at full power - you may melt something, you may be fine, it's not something I've tried! But I've used them with lower powered lights quite often and they've been solid. I'm one of Samyang's UK brand ambassadors - which means I shoot most of my work with the Samyang VDSLR MK2 Cine lens kit. In this video we used: Samyang 14mm t/3.1 VDSLR MK2 Samyang 24mm t/1.5 VDSLR MK2 Samyang 50mm t/1.5 VDSLR MK2 Camera: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro Lights used in the video: Nanlite Forza 720B Video Contents: 0:00 - This Light is Too Hard!
