Limiting yourself is a great way to come up with creative solutions. Watch how many different shots you can get with only one light source.

Cool bro it's nice 👍
6:13 If anything from that scene in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion has shown us, moving light can also be used in narrative works! (As long as it's justified, of course)
I was trying to show a perspective of a blind person, so I took off the lens of a camera and tried to record a scene for my documentary film
I was filming outside, and the sun was really hard on my subject so I had to overcome the sunlight by moving the camera angle and the subject to make the sunlight not as hard on my subject.
Herman is crashing the youtube tutorial again!
the clock needs to start before he build the set.
Legends say Herman purposely forgets his lights to only have 1 light on his shoots 👀
I was having a photoshoot / filming outside of a convention, somewhere closed by but private enough, you know? I had a single light-stand equipped with an umbrella with me. At a time, I've decided to place it away and "forgot" about it for 5 minutes. When I came back, it was gone 🙁 so I had to continue working the entire day without it. Luckily, we were among friends and they helped me out as my new "human light stands" ahah I was so costumed to such, but it all worked out in the end.
Great content artlist <3
So, what was the hardest challenge you had to face in one of your shoots? And how did you manage to overcome it? 💪
During one afternoon of filming, not long after we had purchased our ring light (one within our budget) — the light suddenly stopped holding its position. No matter how much I tightened the angle adjustment knob — it just kept falling over, which subsequently caused the tripod to become top heavy and tip over. This was frustrating as I had already filmed more than half of my video show episode that day. We live in a small apartment and we have to set up and tear down our equipment each time that we film. I really didn’t want to tear down everything and start all over again another time — and I was racing against the clock, trying to finish filming before the upstairs neighbors got home from work. (Old apartment building, not much insulation between floors, and way too much foot noise for filming) Then, I remembered that I had a heavy-duty metal clamp in a bag of gear for holding reflectors. The arm of the clamp was a detachable elbow adapter with a locking adjustable joint. There were 5/8” receivers on both ends with 1/4" & 3/8" transfer screws. I was able to attach the elbow adapter to the ring light stand on one end, while connecting the other end to the ring light. The elbow bent into the angle that I needed and locked the ring light solidly into place with no falling and luckily, I was able to finish filming my episode with literally only a couple of minutes to spare. 😇
dope…really great
had to create a window effect and I produced the effect by cutting up a cardboard paper and taping it on t my phones flashlight, angled it on a monopod properly and voila…a make shift gobo
Thx for that really interesting video. So the hardest situation to shoot in was to shoot videos on an event while different things happend at the same time and I had to capture it all for the video. So I was a lot of running around and trying to get the best shot from all of the happening things…
I shoot music video with one hard light 🥲. The solution is i don't place light directly on the subject, I'm using a reflection technique. Use white chart paper and place it at a 45 degree angle with the subject. For reference search, Incident ray is equal to reflection ray. Place light direction to white chart paper. With this reflection light you will get soft light to the subject, with only one light 💡.
We were shooting in a swimming pool area, so we had to be extremely careful about the electricity on the set. Therefore, we also had limited options for placing the lights around the pool. At the end, we used the potential of the practical lights around the pool to the maximum by turning on and off different lines of light on the ceiling and so we achieved a pleasant light ratio on actor's face.
My main challenge while shooting is definitely playing with one light! I had to figure out how to fill in the shadows!
once on a shoot, the power went off during the shoot. Luckily, we end up having to rely more on the led tube lights and borrow some v mount batteries to power on some of the LED lights.
Great video, i think less lights less problems 😁👍
I had to shoot mermaids swimming in an large aquarium with a crowd of people watching. The reflection off the glass from the aquarium was horrible and all I could see was the spectators watching the show. It was like shooting off a mirror. None of my polar pro filters were helping the situation. I had to use drastic angles to get rid of the reflections.
On a shoot the power went off… We end up having to rely on tube lights and some v mount batteries to power on some of the LED lights, but at the end eveything was ok for the client, from that time i'll not go to a shoot without 3-4 big vmount batteries :))
Outdoor fitness video in a basketball court at sunset except it was completely overcast and drizzly so I rushed out, bagged a bunch of torch lights and did my first night shoot instead. The result wouldn't have won any cinematic beauty contests but it definitely stood out as being different, which we wouldn't have got if we had shot it in overcast daylight
I was shooting a store, quite a large store. What the client never informed me before the shoot was that he wanted a drone (or drone like) shot from up high through the store. I was 4 hours away.
Imagine a camera on a gimbal on a tripod held by a human on a skateboard. What could possibly go wrong?
