Check out Nicholas's company

Updated my gear list for the gear I use in these vids.

I think all that's missing in the bounce's design would be to make the edge between colors fuzzier. It would help making the reflections more natural

Tremendous intro. I love when cinematography/video channels actually weave some kind of narrative style into their reviews or breakdowns in that way. Stuff like that is often just as educational as the full videos because I get to see some techniques to use when you're both in front of and behind the camera at the same time haha.

That intro is crazy, respect the effort! Also great breakdown, I actually do like how the bluff bounce adds that subtle change in colour to the room or objects. 👌🏻

To quote Andy Bernard aka The Nard Dog; "Dude, you are so money. But you dot even know it. But you do." This is flow state kind of stuff. So visually pleasing. Thanks for dropping the knowledge.

This is the most unnecessarily cinematic YouTube video I've ever watched. Love it.

[mysondice]

the medival lute music caught me off guard, so whimsical and lovely

[janisbrod]

It's always a good day when I see Lewis Potts uploaded a new video. :)
Seriously dude, thanks so much for making these videos and putting so much effort into them! This is the only cinematography channel on Youtube that I find genuinely inspiring instead of just giving me gear acquisition syndrome (or giving super basic advice).

It has its place. It works as a solid out of focus backdrop in windows. I think the harsh blue reflections on objects is completely unrealistic and the white bounce looks so much better. However, in the shot of the MacBook at 4:53, the blue reflection looks really nice. Not a replacement, just another tool. Cool to know it's out there.

Oh, and it's a brazilian company! Super cool, I'm going to message all the rental houses in my area to get these haha 🇧🇷

2:26 ooooh I can see the difference! white bounce lets light in much more, bluff gives a cloudy day vibe and looks more contrasty

[PiDsPagePrototypes]

So simple, and yet, adds immersion, like you're seeing the events in the room, not watching as a film. Me Likey.

[marcusmezzano]

Amazing how clearly it bounces onto the objects but the skin absorbs 95% of it. Like the other comments have said I bet it would be better if the colors had a gradient to them 🔥

[LukeNeumann]

This is great, I have always enjoyed using natural bounces in nature. Spots of sunlight hitting foliage or a brown tree bark.

This is a very smart product that delivers a much needed tool for controlling lighting while also staying realistic

I literally just got my rag delivered yesterday! I went with Amazonia cause if the climate I’ll be shooting in the next few months. So excited to have this tool in my “go-to” kit

[raredreamfootage]

I've used a rustic red brick wall as a bounce in June and it gave such an architectural feel to the light and skin tones.

[PhilEdwardsInc]

this is why i always make sure to have a rothko nearby to bounce light into

[dirtroads]

This is a very interesting idea and tool. Great to see people thinking outside of the box.

[Legendary_Tales]

This is GREAT PRODUCT!! I can't believe no one else figured this our before now, and then marketed it. What a GREAT PRODUCT!

[RavikantRai]

The hard cut-off between different colours makes this sort of a dealbreaker. The transition from one colour to the next on that fabric should be graceful and diffused rather than a hard dividing line.

[ycalw]

Man, Thanks for this! I found these bounces the exact same way. I was curious to see exactly what you showed! the reflections of the bounce was something great I didn't even consider. Glad you reached out and got to check them out.
