Capturing Light – Episode 55 (Monday Motivation)
In this episode, we talk about: Having “good taste” and working through accomplishing that in film. Monday Motivation from: Les Gaddis www.gaddisvisuals.com https://vimeo.com/gaddisvisuals https://www.instagram.com/lesgaddis/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4781966/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 “Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” ― Ira Glass Check out the video below: Thank you for listening: Please let me know what you thought of the show today. Subscribe to the podcast.

Capturing Light – Episode 52 (Monday Motivation)
In this episode, we talk about: Knowing your “Why” Monday Motivation from: Les Gaddis www.gaddisvisuals.com https://vimeo.com/gaddisvisuals https://www.instagram.com/lesgaddis/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4781966/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Downloadable PDF Know Your “Why” I want to talk to you today about knowing your why. Not the letter the “y” The question why. Why do you want to make films. Now this is something that’s talked about in business quite often and you maybe thinking “how is this supposed to motivate me” Well if you want to make films because you just think it’s fun than you could potentially be successful in making films, but your why isn’t strong enough. So me, I’ll use me as an example, if someone ask me why do I make films, my answer would be because I have a huge passion for filmmaking. I want to make films that touch and inspire people. I also want to inspire future film-makers through my films and educational content. See know that’s a strong why. And when I realized that about two years ago, that’s when I started my first feature and it just snowballed from that to the blog and podcast. You have to have passion in order to be a filmmaker because you have to rely on that to get you through projects. Having a lot of energy can only take you so far. If you don’t think you have a strong enough why, dig a little deeper. Take time for yourself and find out if you are truly passionate about film. What about film are you passionate about. One way that I think is helpful in finding out what you are passionate about is looking at what irritates you. Sounds crazy and counter productive but think about it, if something irritates you enough that you want to change it or fix it, that’s another way to find your passion and a reason why you are doing what you are doing. This could apply to film or anything for that matter. Don’t just wait until something devastating happens. If you are realizing late in the game what your why is, it’s better late then never. Don’t let being late hold you back. So I’m gonna as you again. What is your why? This seems rhetorical but I really want you to reach out to me and tell me. Here are some the ways you can do that. Tweet me @gaddisvisuals. Email me at: [email protected]. Tell me in the Capturing Light Community group on Facebook. Send me a personal message on Instagram my user name is lesgaddis.

Capturing Light – Episode 46 (Monday Motivation)
In this episode, we talk about: The open letter Clarke Scott reads. Monday Motivation from: Clarke Scott clarkescott.org https://vimeo.com/clarkescott https://www.instagram.com/clarkescott/ https://twitter.com/Clarke_Scott Check out Clarke’s Blog for entire article: http://clarkescott.org/a-thousand-moments-later-a-voiceover/ Dear Emily, After all that’s happened I wanted to write to you. Not simply to explain myself or even explain away what happened. But rather to go beyond the what and into why it happened. I know you can’t read this right now but I wanted to write it all the same. Before everything changes. Before we all move on. Before some things are forgotten, and others are left unsaid. I hope in time, you will read it, and understand. Sometimes it happens—we get lost. Lost in thought. Lost in time. Lost in life. And yet these times—times when everything seems upside down—can be the best of times because they can give us new views on old truths and provide us with a fresh perspective. This much is true: We all want happiness and don’t want suffering, and it’s obvious on reflection that what we all seek is not the kind of happiness born of sheer hedonism but, real happiness that is both genuine and deep. And while it has been said countless time through history that we are restless in seeking the good life. A life that goes well. A life with meaning. A life where we are loved and we have the chance to love. A love that goes beyond the ordinary. Yet for most people this kind of love only comes through change. A change of views and old habits that bind us into seeing ourselves, others, and the world around us in a certain kind of way. But this kind of change never comes easy. This kind of love is hard won. Indeed this kind of life, is hard won. And yet if we are the author and the protagonist of our own life’s story, and the arc of this change is embedded in the challenges we face, then it is to ourselves we must turn, not others. We must write into the story of our own life, challenges that only we can face. Challenges that allow life to shape us. Mould us. Challenges that forge new perspectives; and give us the chance to see beyond our limited perspective. I want this kind of life for you. A full life. A life of meaning. A Life of love and adventure. Where you can love and be loved. But this is not for me to choose. Only you can do this. So by the time you read this, whether you are in the first or the last chapter of your own story, do not be afraid to live the life you want—remember it’s your life and no one else. The road is open. Go. Explore. See the world. See yourself. Find yourself getting lost. Find yourself by getting lost. For at the end of the day, it’s by losing our way that we transform; and only through this transformation will our lives become an expression of what we seek.

Capturing Light – Episode 45 (FSF)
In this episode, we talk about: The Helios 44-m f2.0 Helios-44 is a series of standard lenses for SLR cameras, produced in Soviet Union. It has an 8 blade iris and creates a “swirly bokeh” when all the way open. I usually don’t shoot all the way open because lens goes soft. Not sure if all of the models have the same issue. The focus is manual and it has an aperture ring, which is really nice with the menu bases mini ursa. This lens is heavy, which I like, and easily flares. Swirly Bokeh Examples: A couple screen grabs, taken with the Helios: LEFT Trailer: (Shot mostly with the Helios Lens) You can find this lens with a search on eBay: Helios 44m-6 Don’t forget you will need a lens adapter to go from M42 mount to your camera platform mount: Thank you for listening: Please let me know what you learned or thought of the show today.

Capturing Light – Episode 42 (FSF)
In this episode, We talk about: Film School Friday – explaining the format. Lens Filters: http://gaddisvisuals.com/lensfilters/ What are lens filters? Lens filters can be used for controlling the rendering of color or for diminishing the intensity of light. HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON LENS FILTERS Polarizing Filter Polarizers allow color and contrast enhancement, as well as reflection control, using optical principles different from any other filter types. UV Filter A UV filter looks like just a clear piece of glass, but it improves color reproduction and eliminates blur caused by ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the eye but can be picked up by the camera sensor. ND (Neutral Density) Filter A neutral density filter absorbs light of all wavelengths. Think of an ND filter like a dimmer you can put on your lens to control the amount of light entering that lens. Neutral Density filters allow you to shoot with slower shutter speeds or large apertures, even in very bright situations.

Capturing Light – Episode 27 – Lighting Lesson 2
In this episode, We talk about: Hard Light The Aspects of Light: (Quality – Direction – Altitude – Color – Intensity – Texture) Shaping Light Hard Light Using hard light to reveal texture in a scene could be a powerful tool. Hard lights leave sharp edge shadows. Think of hard light like a focused beam. Hard light can feel more contrasty and create depth. The smaller the source, the harder the light will be. Aspects of Light Quality – Hard vs. Soft Direction – Light positioning and adjusting the angle. Altitude- High vs. Low Color – Warm vs. cool Intensity – Bright vs. Dark Texture – Creating texture on objects with the use of light. Shaping Light Shaping the light your lights can add a 3d like quality to your images. It helps with creating depth and contrast. You can shape light with the use of flags and barn doors.

Capturing Light – Episode 26 – Lighting Lesson 1
In this lesson, we will cover: What future lessons will look like. Lighting Terminology Soft Light Let’s start with Lighting Terminology Key light – the dominant light on people or objects. Fill light – that fills in the shadows no lit by the key light. Backlight – Light that hits a person or object from behind and above. Kicker – is a light from behind and hits along the actors cheek on the fill side. (only hits one side where the backlight hits both sides) Side light – a light coming from the side, relative to the actor. Topper – Light directly from above. You may also here this referring to a glad that cuts off the upper part of a light. Ambient light – usually means light that happens to be on the location. Practicals – Prop lights like table lamps, floor lamps. High key – lighting that is bright and fairly shadowless. (Think talk shows) Low Key – lighting that is dark and shadowy with little or no fill. (Think Film noir) Bounce light – that is reflected off of something. Motivated lighting – where light in the scene appears to have a source such as a window, lamp, door, etc. Soft Light Soft light refers to light that tends to “wrap” around objects. Soft light can create shadows with soft edges. 2 Factors determine how soft a light is: Proximity – The closer the light, the softer the light. Size – The larger the light, the softer the light. Soft light can reduce shadows. It also adds youthfulness and beauty to the skin. You can also use soft light to bring up the exposure of an image without giving away where the source is coming from. Having your light be motivated is a great way to get cinematic images. Clouds are a natural way to diffuse the sun creating great soft light. You may have to add light or use negative fill to get contrast so the image isn’t too flat. Soft light has more of a “fall-off” and “wraps” around the subject. The quality of hard light can be made into soft light with the use of gels, silks, and diffusion. So here are a few ways to soften a light: Bounce light Diffusion paper or fabric Soft Boxes You can move the light closer to soften the light (but that also increases the intensity of the light So you’ll have to make sure your exposure is right.) I hope you enjoyed this first lighting lesson.
