I like putting diffusion on the INSIDE of the barndoors (against the tubes and clipped to the reflector). I don't like the way bare kino tubes look on skin so I always put something on there. You can cut down the light with heavier diffusion without changing the quality of light too much. I've never tried to cut two stops down, but I bet 216 or grid cloth would do the trick. Possibly even bleached muslin.

The site is simple and straight forward, which is perfect. As a side note, the images from the film "Katinkas kalas" look amazing. What did you shoot on? What kind of lighting package did you use?

I use fatcow as well and it has been the cheapest and easiest I have found. Personally I built my website in Adobe Illustrator (not the best way but the way I understand), but I have heard many good things about WordPress and Joomla which are open source (free) and pretty easy to use.

There's some good stuff in here, but I really think that the music is a bit too ambient to get a viewer very excited. I don't listen to much current pop music, but I think a lot of it is great for reel work (cutting my current reel to Goldfrapp's "Ooh La La")

 

Ditch the shot of the guy throwing those sticks into another guy's neck, it looks fake. Also, you can probably afford to lose a few close ups, we only need to see one or two well-lit ones and then it just begins to become repetitive.

Duly noted Brandon, and thank you for the feedback. I am probably going to change the music as that has been said to me a few times.

Thank you for spending the time to reply.
