Arri 650 | BMPCC 4K | Lighting Test

One of my Arri 650w lights came in. I can already see how many more lighting possibilities just opened up for my work. The light isn't as heavy as I figured but the build is super solid. I can never seem to work soft boxes into my workflow on set. Bouncing, Diffusing with muslin fabrics, and scrimming is what I prefer. Softboxes definitely have their place though.

One thing that Ive been wanting to do is purchase harder light sources like a Forza 500 or 600d with a spot mount to help work with the sun or atleast provide me adequate enough light so that I can bring up interior exposure also so I can backlight from out of a window, but the way my money is set up....haha. This will also just allow me to add a lot more shape and dimension whether it be a day interior or a night shoot. I just couldn't look past going the tungsten route. Both of my Arri lights cost me $189. I'll have to find a budget generator to use on location but that was the only draw back for me. The lights looks great on camera even on max output spotted. I did also color the 3200k shots to look more white than tungsten to separate the 5600k shots a little more.

Testing this light in more daylight settings soon!
