Curtis Judd | Amaran 150c & 300c | RGB Bowens mount lights for video @curtisjudd | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 8 hours ago
In this week’s episode we try out the new Amaran 150 and 300c fixtures. These single-point RGBWW lights from Aputure’s budget line feature full color plus warm and cool white capabilities. They can be adjusted from tungsten to daylight color temperatures and beyond for great versatility as key lights, and also make great effects fixtures with their preloaded effect library. Let’s take a closer look!
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. school.learnlightandsound.com
