thanks to Sennheiser and Kingston for powering hour coverage this year at neb
0:03
2016 check them both out at the link in the video description so as many of you
0:08
know we recently switched to LED for the majority of our Boll online is Tech tips
0:12
and we've also begun using Hive lighting's wasp plasma light for
0:15
specific task around the office as noted in this fastest possible here so I was
0:20
absolutely floored when I first heard about their newly announced plasma 1000
0:24
light let's check it out so plasma lighting which to quickly
0:29
recap is handled by converting Argon gas into a plasma that gives you a high
0:33
output low power draw lighting fixture Hive has taken their plasma technology
0:37
to the next level with the plasma 1000 this light is five times brighter than
0:42
their previous high output unit the WASP to put this in perspective hives was
0:46
which is the light we have used on the wow as well as recent Workshop videos is
0:51
the equivalent to A500 watt incandescent
0:54
fixture the plasma 1000 is the equivalent of a nearly 10,000 watt
0:58
incandescent fixture here's an example of us shining the plasma 1000 onto a
1:02
sign in the ceiling of the convention center here's what the shot looked like
1:06
properly exposed and then when shining the plasma 1000 on it the exposure on
1:11
that spot that you see becomes Overexposed by a full two stops of light
1:15
giving this light some serious power even at fairly far distances now you may
1:19
be wondering why anyone would even need this kind of power to begin with I see a
1:23
few great uses for it the first being the ability to light something properly
1:27
at crazy high slow motion frame rates indoors since the typical output of most
1:32
lights even below half the power of the plasma 1000 will not cut it for frame
1:36
rates above 240 FPS it could also be a
1:40
great light for Ste photography particularly at high shutter speeds in
1:43
studio situations or Outdoors since it packs enough power and being a constant
1:47
Source it will show you what your lighting looks like at all times
1:51
something that small speed lights just cannot do okay so bringing this all back
1:55
down to a more practical view of this light it is a Great Leap Forward in
1:59
plasma technology and the trend of lower power draw high output lights for
2:03
production use and Beyond lights like the plasma 1000 put us on the path of
2:07
accessibility to shooting situations that used to be reserved for only the
2:10
highest tier of production so whether you're a seasoned Pro or someone just
2:15
starting out plasma is a technology to keep your eye on as it matures and
2:18
continues to become more accessible to content creators everywhere thanks again
2:22
