By Jay P. Morgan. This Video is all about Soft Boxes. There are many misconceptions about what Soft Boxes do and how to use them. This is the scientific look at the area of coverage and light quality of the different sizes of Soft Boxes. Using this knowledge you will find it easier to decide which size Box to use to achieve your desired lighting result. After this lesson you should know what size of Soft Box to buy and the basics of how to use it. Thanks to Photoflex www.photoflex.com for providing the Boxes for this test. There is much to learn on this subject so we will visit it again. Keep on click’n! Jay P. Morgan theslantedlens.com fb.com kesslercrane.com http photoflex.com

@jkddaddy I wasn’t actually much looking at the shadow rather than the highlight on the talent’s forehead and chest. I could see some chances of burnout with the Large softbox and a more controlled light with the Small Softbox.
How’s that?
very helpfull..thx for sharing sir!

Nice slider at 1:04-1:06. Major lighting and video gear, good info in this video.
Great video! So for someone that is on a budget which soft box would for most situations? So the smaller the soft box the harsher the light and the bigger the sb the less harsh it is?
This is really helpful

So much gear… yet such a crappy video. All I learned was not to watch your other stuff
@boboylegitan Thanks for the feedback!
@jkddaddy A smaller box has a larger area of coverage than a medium box with a grid. The grid cuts the area down that the box covers. Lighting a smaller area on set makes it easer to control what is being lit.
very nicely done presentation to show the graphic on the wall with actual coverage sizes, and then the comparative photos of the talent (and pointing out her shadow on the wall). The grid on the softbox was only touched on briefly though. You show how it restricted light and provided the look of a “harder” light. Then you mentioned that it was more controllable, but no addtnl info. How is it more controllable? Why not just use a smaller softbox for the same effect?
Hum, did the film editor forgot to cut the (very) annoying music background from 0:11 to 3:33 ? Good piece of information though.
Great info..thanks!
Very usefull thank you!
Very useful, thank you.
@michaelchimera The sizes of the soft boxes are as follows. Large: 34×45 inch; Medium: 24.5×32 inch; Small 17×21
and the sizes of the softboxes in inches/feet from side to side…?
Neat
Thank you,
Awesome as always!
Excellent as always Jay.. Keep them coming!
