Okay, cool, so let's start off with this. What light do you want? Do you want that other one? I'll show you how to do that, but right now the most important part is capturing that moving shot, the shot of our subject. I'm going to teach you how to make your own brushes either using Adobe Brush or specifically Adobe Capture, which is an app, or taking photos to then turn into brushes. But you can also make your own, so that is going to be something I'm going to teach you. I know that in, I think in the chat room or someplace, they're going to drop a link to a particular set that I really like and the ones I'll be using later, so I will be referencing that. And that's because I know I want to match two of these brushes that exist. So I've got two one-by-four strip soft boxes. It wouldn't give me as much even illumination. If I just had the bare head, you'd have a really bright hotspot in one place, and then, you know, it would fade off towards the bottom of the body. So that's what will carve them out from the background. When it hits the diffusion, it spreads out, which is when you have someone dancing, it's going to give you move even highlight. Like right now, the head of the light, this is how big the light is. And the reason that I selected the one-by-four is I'm going to have my subject dancing and moving and if you use the one-by-four, what it does is the light hits this front diffusion, and the light actually becomes the size of that diffusion. So these are one-by-four foot strip soft boxes, and they're going to rim light the water, back light them. The last setup, it didn't matter what the light was. This is where the strip lights, you actually need strip lights. So that is why I have these two back strip lights. If I'm going to be using this to composite or to add into a photo, that photo needs to be lit in a similar way as well. So if I know that when you see these water brushes online, when you look them up, they're back lit in the way they're illuminated. Because that's the way that water is going to be illuminated. In order for you to actually see a splash of water or particles or flower or whatever, it needs to be back lit in some way. But what you'll notice is they all require similar-ish lighting. You can buy some some are free some are better than others. First of all, if you go online, there are water brushes. So there are a couple different ways to approach this. And then what we're going to do is we're going to use Photoshop brushes and Photoshop layers to make it look as though she's being splashed with water or wearing a dress made out of water. Okay, so what we're gonna do is we are going to have our subject in a dance-like pose. Like, this is one that will be Photoshop friendly here. Like, this is gonna be the one with the most creative technique to it and the part that it is not possible without Photoshop.
