Great episode steve very informative.
If you to Rosco's webpage, you can email them and ask them for a swatchbook of there gels and filters, it is free and it gives you a sample of what you may need and what they look like. So you don't have to spend a lot on gels and filters that you really don't need.
One thing about the video, great episode, but why could you have made two months ago when I was in lighting class :)
Here is the link for the Rosco webpage

rip off from bfx
HEy Guys, a white balance card I beleive(For manual white balance) should be held next to the subject you want to film, ) put your camera where you will be using it from, and then zoom in on the card to fill the screen . if you just put the card up to the camera where ever, you're not going to be getting the correct settings. Great episode guys! Keep em coming! :)!

Yeah my thread got on 4 min film school!
YOu forgot to mention that if you use a piece of paper for WB it should be held up near the actors face so the white is under that specific lighting. It does no good to WB to a color spectrum that isn't there.
thanx this will helo me alot
Thank you so much for using my video!
That's so awesome!!!
Awesome!! Thanks!
Best episode yet. Very informative. Its really necessary to go over some safety issues with operating lights. Hopefully will be included in part 2
Excellent DIY segment. My only concern is with the way the dimmer is finished by wrapping electrical tape around the whole assembly. My advice is spend a few dollars for a metal outlet box and wire clamps to make your dimmer a little more sturdy and safe. Keep up the good work!

How do I make it look like im fliming at might with no other lights other than the sky
The best way do make it seem you are filming at night is do do a digital color correction in post. Shoot on an overcast day, or before sunrise or after sunset, so there is even lighting and harsh shadows are reduced. Then bring the footage into an editing program like After Effects and mess with the color. Andrew Kramer has a great After Effects tutorial on day-to-night conversions on www.videocopilot.net. Check it out =)
Why does the greenscreening in this episode suck?
Well think about it...
Who's paying attention to the greenscreening when valuable advice is being administered? I didn't notice the bad greenscreening until there were 10 secs left. Why? Because I pay attention my child.
there is one little thing about this you want to watch out for in terms of color correction. When using a gel to color correct a tungsten to daylight or vise versa you can not just use any orange or blue gel. There are party gels that simply change the color of the light which will not work for this. You will need to use what is called Full CTB for Tungsten to daylight and or Full CTO for Daylight to Tungsten. They are also known as plus or minus green gels. If looking to buy gels for color correction keep this in mind.
