Lovely presence and I giggled when he said no need for expensive movie-purposed lights, go to the yardage store, etc. Thank you!
1:49 - 150, 300 and 650 W warm HMIs) good luck to the editor to find new job
Amazing content !!!
Super useful, thank you! Btw there is a mistake in the caption about the tungsten lights , but it's all good :D
Yea, kind of over my pay grade.
Why is there no list in the video description?
Indie Film Production and the thumbnail contains an Arri spot... Yes Indie for sure... I'm going to watch David F Sandberg lighting a set with an Ikea trash can again
What budget do you think indie films have? Its not that expensive to rent arri lights if we are talking about real movies, unless you are doing zero budget project, but that's a different thing.
@@seangentry2943 My guess is the O.P. was referring to his short prior to the Hollywood film.
@GyvonJ I know don't worry, it's just that most of the indie filmmakers who are making movies with a 5 million dollars budget (or more) are already enough experienced to need to watch youtube videos like this. Furthermore, I think that most of us don't have this kind of money. That's why this video is kinda representing a fictional scenario, because we only have a fraction of the money/equipment they use. Like Mark Duplass said: The cavalry is not coming.
See, this is a sad state of affairs, El mariachi was shot on films with two lights, that is a crazy indie shoot. Renting that truck full of that gear for a day would cost more than some full indie features
meh, ive gotten more from rental houses for a cake and a big thank you.
although ive been told my cakes are pretty good..
never thought baking skills were essential for a gaffer
Indie and zero budget are two different thing
@@jeffcelis3024 I guess in a world where silver linings playbook, a movie with a 22 million dollar budget wins best film at the independent spirit awards, the real meaning of independent has been skewed... To just small budget studio films.
@@BrennanMartin yeah. Completely agree
Reupload?
"Some white sheets and a blonde will be as good as anything else."
I haven't been with a blonde yet; I seem to always catch brunettes.
I wish there were a channel where these guys talked about how a young kid living in his moms basement with a $500 budget can achieve beautiful lighting in any scenario. Not how an indie film with a $5,000 budget can.
latenightp it’s called the sun and bounce cards.
LED's should be quite affordable, even a 3 point lighting kit version.
That's not possible. 500 budget can't cover lighting in Every scenario.
It can probably work ok.
Work on your dialogue and story more and becoming friends with better actors.
They will all make a bigger difference than your lights in a no budget film.
Save up money and add used equipment over time.
looks up 2.5K HMI
Results: $4K at lowest
I think he's referring to rentals, not purchasing your own kit
@@sarahmauracher2830 ahhh i see i see, that would make sense

Game of Thrones
