    How wild is it that this is free to watch on UA-cam?

    • @KiririnOnline
      @KiririnOnline 4 роки тому +5

      not that wild considering its a sponsored video.

      What does it mean? I did not understand it.

    • @samaBR_85
      @samaBR_85 4 роки тому +26

      Muktish W background music in movies comes from nowhere, like, it’s there to create atmosphere but most of the time is not coming from a source that you can see in the scene (like a radio, or speaker).

      @SoopaCoopa 4 роки тому +9

      I can't get over that comment! I have been finding myself more more liking unmotivated light and streaks but getting insecure about them. I am going to use this all the time.

      Real elites like him don’t feel the need to rub it in your face how great they are. They just let their work do the talking.

  • @MrDaveDancer

    He is a true example for a cinematographer who pushes boundaries!

  • @courtlanderickson1134
    @courtlanderickson1134 4 роки тому +25

    I have to say... I love just about every Indy Mogul video, but this one is incredible.
    Lighting was the hardest thing for me to get a good grasp on as I was starting out and hearing the strategy and execution from a cinematographer of that caliber is just badass.

    • @alexman378
      @alexman378 4 роки тому

      Lighting seems so simple before you start analyzing it, and it becomes a nightmare soon after you start getting into it. There’s a million ways you can set it up, but only a handful of ways are the perfect ones for your specific needs.

  • @ThisIsTechToday
    @ThisIsTechToday 4 роки тому +8

    Wow, this was SO AWESOME. First, I feel like Ted was just in awe the whole time. There was a level of respect that you could see like a younger dude talking to his grandpa. It was really sweet to watch. Second, Larry is just absolutely brilliant and so funny in an understated way. Great video!

    @mitchmedmedia5386 4 роки тому +5

    I just watched 300 and that long take caught my eye. I assumed that it was like 8k with a bunch of punch-in's. The actual method is so amazing!

    • @nnnnnn496
      @nnnnnn496 4 роки тому +2

      8 k cameras did not exist in 2006-7 when 300 was shot. 8k cameras only got released in 2013.

  • @stevengonz
