Our sound and lighting courses can be found here!

In this week’s video we check out the Nanlite FC-720B, a high-output bi-color LED spotlight available for a really reasonable price point. We dig into the feature set, some practical photometric measurements, and compare it to the Amaran Ray 660C for context. 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. See our school website for more info!
