Just posted a mini doc I shot earlier today and colored around one of your luts. Thanks for the continued content and posts, appreciate being able to watch your creative journey!

Learns a lot from this, definitely an awesome demonstration of how the two new Evokes can make some differences for your shooting!

Nanlight and Aputure have spoiled us. Their innovation has stirred so much great competition and further innovation. They've forced companies like Godox and Zhiyun to think outside the box. I love lighting too much... Honestly, although I'm an owner/operator who directs most of my shoots, I REALLY REALLY LOVE RIGGING THINGS UP. Matthews and Avengers and all the other players come up with great ways to position all these awesome lights that are coming to the table. Thank you Mark for sharing. I'm looking forward to the BlackFriday sales for some additional courses in AOD.

The kicker on makes it more cinematic for sure and this video makes me want Nanlight as my demographic of lights I have a bunch of different ones I’d rather have one path

I was about to say Mark started using AI at the beginning lol. That's a proper hook.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzELWHmc2Zs&t=475">7:55</a> Yep, without side highlight is most realistic, like documentary. <br>But I wouldn't question the side light and it is more graphically compelling, to me. <br><br>So depends what you're going for. Between an Indiana Jones adventure, or a found footage horror movie.
