What do you guys think of the Lighting at the Cali Pro? How bad was it? How can we fix/prevent this in bodybuilding shows in the future? Ideas? Comment Below!
None of the competitors at Cali Pro will ever want sight of the photos taken from that show, unforgivable that they would create lighting that damaged their look on stage.
They should do the down lighting. Just my opinion.
Any show under the IFBB should have 1 company supply the lighting where by it has to be a set height and distance from the stage across the board and any show venue where this cannot be achieved it should not be held at that venue. This will give a fair playing field for the athletes to showcase their physique. The Cali Pro was a complete balls up and if I were an athlete there I’d be questioning the placings because of where certain people were placed on that stage.
The organizers of these shows should hire some Instagram Fitness people for the lighting. They know how to get muscles in a picture exclusively from the lighting
Most stage lighting were designed for theatre and most arenas will be too lazy to adjust to get some better and higher set lighting for bodybuilding shows. Which is why the 90s body builders looked better because people actually gave a damn about putting on a show and not just putting as many well lit sponsors behind the athletes as possible 😞
Not just the lighting should be good but also the background (should be black).
I agree
it's a shame we are still talking lighting in 2020
The should just get whoever installed the lights in the oxygen toilets to write the guidelines.
The Olympia should just hire a few top youtube photographers/videographers for excellent lighting.
Huge difference, Cali pro lighting looks like MS paint, NY PRO looked like Adobe Photoshop
Is it not really an IFBB issue? Should they not be the ones to state the rules and standards when it comes to lighting for competitions, i mean they have a rule book already, its just a question of adding to it. Rules about the Lumen needed, the direction of the light, the type of color of white lighting that is to be used
People always talk about how much harder the 90s guys were than todays guys. I have said it for years, it's a lightning issue. Hope they will listen and get back the 90s lightning. Thanks Nick!
Jesus is the light of the world.
1000% must go with down lighting.
ickyyyy Nicks a democrat
Game: drink a shot every time Nick says ‘lighting’.
Maxx Charles in New York: 40 years old, and in Cali: 50 years old!
LMAO even his face looks like it was cheese grated 😂😂
NY lighting was much better. Amazing what a difference lights can make in appearance.
There are phone apps to measure light. A rule could be made that each spot a competitor stands at needs to have an "x" amount of light.
In all my years of following bodybuilding, I’ve always found it incredibly unprofessional for a so called professional show to get the lighting wrong!
You don't even need to look at their physiques. Just look at his face compared at 1:45. Even his face is washed out hahahaha
dude EXACTLY there should be a standard for the lighting. soo easy to do i cant believe at this point 2020 there is no standard
The Cali show look like it was held in a gas station bathroom.
50 plus years of competing and there is not a standard lighting scheme, And people wonder why the sport struggles
Someone needs to enlighten them
He looks like shite either way
Lighting has always varied from show to show. Some shows became well known for the quality of the lighting. The Ironman Pro is a great example of a promoter going out of their way to provide lighting that was great for both the spectators and photographers for the magazine's. The 99 show is being thrown around way to much as a representative of how shows were lit over the whole of the 90s. There's always been good and bad lighting at shows. Most of the time I'm sure it just comes down to what is actually available at the venue the show is held at.
I can vaguely remember like MuscleMag or Ironman doing an article about running a bodybuilding show and one of the things discussed with diagrams was lighting. I thought it said all overhead directly or to the front at a 45 degree angle. Can’t believe nobody hasn’t figured this out and passed it along to the lighting companies.
The fools promoting and hosting these bodybuilding shows will listen to nicks strength and power. You do more to promote this sport than anyone out there
You also need to look at the temp of the lighting where in the Cali looks more blue or cooler and the lighting in the N.Y. pro looks more yellow or warmer. These are things that need to be accounted for as well
Obviously there should be a standards. This is supposed to be professional league, so have policies and standards in place. I think they need to look at some shows that the lighting was good and try to come up the best lighting possible for future shows.
Max’s pics have been altered! For starters look at the missing portion of his left bicep that looks like a V! Look at the video washing of his back to distort the detail! THATS NOT LIGHTING!!! He was deliberately overlooked!!!
At my crossfit gym where i powerlift, the bathroom light makes me look like Jason Momoa's lovechild with Pietro Boselli, but my bathroom light makes me look like Chunk from The Goonies
When the athletes look purple, you have failed them and their fans. I hope they have a standard set for the Olympia so fans don't throw their money away
If your reputation and what you are praised for depends on something as fickle as lighting, do you really have something?
I compare situations like that to if lighting is off in a movie; if the lighting of a scene is off in a movie, it can completely ruin the ability to immerse yourself into the movie. Here, it completely ruins the ability to show off the hard work these bodybuilders put in, so it's almost a complete disservice to the athletes themselves.
Yeah, I'm looking at it kinda from a different angle compared to everybody else (from more of a film buff perspective), but I think we can all reach the same conclusion that lighting is paramount; imagine these bodybuilders posing is a scene in a movie. You want to light the scene perfectly to achieve your desired result; in a bodybuilding competition, you want to light it in a way that shows off that aforementioned hard work, to really showcase the "scene" that is a competition.
I agree the ifbb shows should have a standard lighting set up for all shows and promoters should be required to follow it
