As a cinematographer learning the ropes, I'm very interested in lighting, and this channel has helped me a whole lot!! Thank you Brady!!!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you sooo much!!

[@frantzysainvil6508]

Me to bro this channel has what other channels simply do not offer starting off with hardly any gear is so daunting and he shows how to make a lot with a little

[@untontomasenytui6172]

You mean as a "filmmaker" right? Like no hate, but cinematographer is a DOP

[@jodggreen9962]

Learning Cinematographer?😂😂 that’s like saying as a learning swat officer, cinematographer is a big title, you’re a film maker

[@angeloardina4558]

Being a noob aspiring film maker with literally 0 budget, this gives me hope. Truly creativity is the key! Thanksss!

[@BradyBessette]

I'm really glad it helps! cheers and best of luck film friend!

[@KrishnenduKes]

Fantastic Class as usual. My favourite has always been the Rembrandt lighting yes. But I was pretty impressed at the hard backlighting and the top lighting.
Thank you once again.
I hope you hit 50K before the EOY!

[@BradyBessette]

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Forget the lighting tips, I just thought it was really sweet that Sarah brought you food... and even glammed it up with fancy ketchup and mustard swirls! Mate, she’s a keeper (that was genuinely the part of the video that left the biggest emotional impact on me).

[@BradyBessette]

this is so darn sweet thank you!!

Amazing video, it’s big class for light scenes to movies, keep it up.

[@raphaelmotta7630]

This is AMAZING! It's amazing how much knowing how to use gear is infintely more important then gear itself. That said I realy need to invest in a good light.

[@BradyBessette]

just one can go a long way!! thank you good luck!

[@Bthefilmer]

This is a super good tutorial. I would like to add there is a key thing that you do in every shot that for me when I figured this out was a huge difference maker in my lighting, which is shooting shadow side.

Thanks Alex!

[@moonthink8288]

Thank you for saying "film looks" and not youtube's most cliched term "cinematic". It made the difference between me watching or not watching. Also nice ideas! In fact, your use of the grid inspired me to try that for an upcoming project I'm working on where that'd be totally appropriate.

[@BradyBessette]

there is a difference sometimes! I prefer Film but it goes hand in hand

[@AaleenMurtezaa]

The headlight tip was a great new addition to learn!

Isn’t it so cool! It came to me randomly! Had to share
