    Love this look at lighting terms and what they practically mean in video/film. It's easy to search up a WikiHow or some article on the web, but seeing it in action, as the light physically moves is a really good learning tool. This is awesome.

  • @Drago100ful
    @Drago100ful 7 років тому +2

    Great content, gave me some ideas.
    I'd also like to know how to prevent banding and artifacting in dimmly light places. I never figured out how to prevent these in-camera. I know that those things have to do with codecs and compression, but I know how to correct those. Just having a pitch black background without artifacting would be a great thing.
    Also what about lighting paint (e.g black ) without having a specular of the light?

  • @whiterthanyou1
    @whiterthanyou1 7 років тому

    I was just recently having trouble with this. I pretty much mastered 3 point lighting. But I was just wondering how I could get good lighting without soo many light sources. This helped me a lot. Perfect timing!

    • @deangeloscott
      @deangeloscott 7 років тому

      Check out cinematography db's recent videos. He has a lighting workshop, where he covers some stuff you may like, also I plan to get more into it with my videos, if you're interested. Best of luck bro.
      (shameless plug below)
      I also have an ebook available for download that goes over beginner video lighting. Ask and you shall receive.
