To make the shadow even more prominent I would need to increase the distance between my hand and the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610033463315-QTT3VG0AULDMM90MBZPI/music+video.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) For this music video with 325productionsUK a 2.5K HMI gelled to tungsten was used behind the band to provide a powerful key light. Without any diffusion and positioning the band away from the light the result was long, well defined shadows which - along with the location - perfectly suited the tone for a hard, heavy rock track. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610033511235-FCI1J8BMY49CKK87UI8B/singer+close+up.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) Up close on the singer and you can see the HMI's beam (along with some careful flagging) has helped to create lovely contrast. Shooting partially into the light has created flare, but for our purposes this actually worked for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610034211528-86WEWGC4XJFAKL2XJ1TE/heavy%2Bdiff%2Bhand%2Bshadow.jpg Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) My 800W redhead is now shining through a sheet of heavy diffusion. Whilst the shadow is still quite prominent, it is far softer than before. If I wanted to soften it further I could either move my hand closer to the light or move the diffusion closer to my hand, therefore making the source larger in comparison to my hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610033864779-RYVZCN4ZNFV1O35CJBTM/even+lighting+talking+head.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) 2 fluorescent bulbs with soft boxes on either side of our subject complemented by a kicker on the background has resulted in a very evenly lit image here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610033916837-VUGDQB9Q86ZBKZBZ06M9/soft+lighting+piece+to+camera+ad.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) Shining an 800W redhead through a diffuser on the left and filling the right side with some bounce has created a soft, flattering image. By deliberately under lighting the background by a small amount our subject truly stands out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610034402573-1YVHVL8S75XX0NCN0XTI/large+trace+frame.jpg Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) On set with Substantial Films; on this bright day a huge trace frame (or silk) was used to soften the harshness of the sun. Because our shot involved two actors we needed to diffuse a large area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610034768096-1LKI5OVRI47CPFFS8VP7/HMI+lighting+interior.jpg Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) On set for 325productionsUK using an HMI to act as the sun for an interior scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610034989565-SW9JZ27P738N58C8A4RH/twenty%2Btwenty%2Bfour%2Btunnel.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) This shot from the film Twenty Twenty Four shows nothing but hard light. Both the character's torch and the light hidden behind him further down the tunnel are hard sources, resulting in a punchy and dramatic image. What's more, the fact that the light down the tunnel is further away from the subject has made it smaller in relation to him so the shadows are even harder. Soft light just wouldn't have cut it here.

To light him we bounced two 800W redheads (hard lights) on either side of him and rigged a 150W Dedolight (also hard) with some diffusion gel above the book case to act as a subtle backlight. Who needs a studio, eh? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610036185661-4ORVUKQFF9R19ZS1YJKE/corporate+talking+head.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) This interview for Mollart Engineering Ltd. was lit by a Dedolight DLH4 150W with a softbox to left of camera and the interior lights (fluoresescents) left on. A small amount of magenta was added in post production to remove the green tint emitted from the interior lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610036440816-P4JAAJT494KBXRGORO0H/nazi%2Bvengeance%2Bpromo%2Bshot%2Bhmi.jpg Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) Referring again to this shot from the Nazi Vengeance music promo lit by DOP Haydn West, Substantial Films. With an HMI shining in through the barn window the hard light hits the back of our subject to create a highlight. The power of the source also means it bounces back off the wall to fill her face (now soft). The result - a dynamic image that uses both hard and soft light to great effect. True cinematography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610036556148-89WP5CCAR46OXWZYSI16/liquiproof+actress+over+shoulder.png Blog - Hard light VS soft light (and why we need both) Another example of combining hard and soft light to create a dynamic image but with a little less contrast. The left side of our talent's face is lit by a spotted 300W Arri fresnel with a flag partially in front of it to avoid spill and concentrate the beam. The right side of her face is lit by an 800W Arri fresnel but through a Chimera softbox. This gives the impression that the sun is shining in through a window and that the overall tone isn't too dramatic.

For longer takes attaching it to a couple of light stands would have also been quick to set up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038044413-K6KRBCG72Q9LB6ABGLOF/CP+soft+light+bounced+off+ceiling.png Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) What you don't see: It took about 10 minutes for our redhead light to cool down before it could be put back in the bag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038281252-A8SJZT4Y5C97IXMCQHHF/talking+head+fmg.png Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) Look at the left side of the face. This 3/4 backlight was lit by a 150W hard light with a sheet of diffusion and helped us to get clean edges when keying out the greenscreen which we shot him against. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038320174-KGW3SFHUIPTZFQC1XM6H/Affinity+water.png Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) On location here and this time much more subtle. We didn't have time to plug anything in so this time I used a daylight balanced LED on a stand to illuminate the left side of the face. This setup took literally seconds to make and break down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038389257-MBI9FKRFBYLW8VEI05BF/Jonny+boy+backlight.png Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) A much more obvious back light in this example from Shattered Illusion Films. The use of a hard light source to deliberately over expose a thin edge of our character's face has been used to not only create contrast but to help convey the tension and conflict within the scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038522319-ME5PZ73V9QUE4IRQVPOK/interview+in+paris.png Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) Harnessing the power of the sun, this time on the right side of the frame. Notice how the sunlight affects our subject's shoulders and left arm by creating a thin and subtle stripe of daylight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038741098-H953TFRWUQ2PFAPRS1JJ/liquiproof+actress+over+shoulder.png Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) A soft box attached to a redhead (800W) light allowed us to quickly fill in the shadows as you can see on the left side of her face (frame right) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038810963-NK2LXVJ6XIY1IZFC7JVD/Liquiproof%2C+softbox.jpg Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) Once the soft box is attached it is easily maneuverable and in this case, filled a good section of the room with light. In a confined space it would be difficult to bounce or diffuse hard light sources (and keep control) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610038998815-G5X8VYTSTR51M3ZZMZRY/amy+portrait+hard+light+bounced.jpg Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) An effective use of contrast with only 1 light and a reflector https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e53dce6d829033fa3e9caeb/1610039088255-H69U7GFNGAUC1JRAT5GO/nazi%2Bvengeance%2Bpromo%2Bshot%2Bhmi.jpg Blog - 5 Simple lighting solutions (when time is money) Another example of the above technique, this time with a much more powerful light (1.2K HMI) and a wall used to bounce.
