Did u had to make some changes with the exposure values while shooting? If u didn't, how can u get some type of control on your exposure when u got clouds coming and going and just difusion (and negative) for the sun being this one your only point of light? Thanks!
Fantastic video! I'm doing my final uni project on naturalistic outdoor cinematography. Are there any techniques you know that can help low budget filmmakers replicate the same effects in your video? As hi-lite, 12x12 grids, Ultrabounce etc. can be quite pricey.
Not many people talk about the high-noon look at this level. Thanks for breaking this down! Question, was there a reason why you decided to go with the 1/4 grid instead of Hi-Lite?
I like the note on the hi-lite, traditionally I've diffused day exteriors with a 1/4 grid when necessary but I'm always looking for alternative options. Nice placement of the return/neg fill I feel like I'd do the same thing
Man, I have been trying to figure how to draw in Davinci resolve too just like Wandering Dp does. Can you please share how you do it now? What am I missing? Lovely tutorial as usual also
Aside from the 180 degree rule when shooting dialogue scenes is there any special way or notes you have about keeping the actors eye line looking natural?
A lot of the time in my experience, I’m sure there are more precise ways, but if we sometimes feel off about the eye line we will have the actors eyes track someone’s hand till we find what feels right. Plus it’s trying to maintain an equal distance from each subject so it can be a consistent look if that’s what you’re after
Plan on doing any videos on how to light a room for youtube videos? Not necessarily talking head shots but a shot of you working on your desk for example
Great video! i was just wondering what made you decide the framing on the first shot, why that much air above the heads and cutting the feet of the people in the bg?
Based off references we liked plus it was necessary to get full body. We wanted the porta potty’s to fill the frame. If we were to do full body it would have been way to wide and disconnected from the scene
These tips work for any situation really, I would take each tip as an exact but use the idea of (diffusing the over - sun) and wrapping it with a bounce (ultra bounce or a muslin) and bringing in some Neg. Maybe you might want to introduce light so adding a powerful key light through diffusion may help brighten the face (more commercial looking)
Shining Through is the theme. If you go on their website they have an in depth explanation of the completion! If you have a short film idea this could be a good chance to get some funding!
Hi Carlo, nice tutorial, thank you! I also liked the reference to the Wandering DP podcast ... I was wondering, how do you balance the colors in these situations? Did you experience any green color cast from the grass, that you needed to (white-)balance for? Anyhow, the shots are looking great!
Good question. With the diffusion, it softened the sun so there wasn’t much return from the ground but that is something I’m thinking about. Usually, you can put a black or white piece of material on the ground
Great explanation!! Appreciate your expertise on shoots like this. Also I need to figure out how you did that drawing thing in Resolve haha - Brilliant work!
Interesting illustration on the shoot good job by the way, but I do have to comment I’m looking at this on an iPhone and to be honest, I don’t even notice the highlight. It’s too small and given the circumstance that I’m looking at this nobody’s gonna notice whether you see an highlight, or not given that, if the deliverableis to viewers with iPhones unless it’s in stream close-up. No one’s gonna notice or care whether sunlight.
ALSO: Interesting criticization of the insights of the shoot, good job by the way, but I do have to comment I’m looking at this on a macbook and I didn't understand your message either.
Babe wake up, new lighting video by Gian dropped 🙏🏼
:)
It’s dope that you mentioned Wandering DP, as I subscribe to both of y’all, bell notifications and all 🔔
Thanks for the sub!
Such a helpful video - thank you bro
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the insights!
Btw the bg music was really loud and distracting on this video 😵💫

Thanks for amazing video, how do you draw on the screen?
🙏🏼❤️
Great content!
Thanks!
embrace the 🥪
There he is… no sandwiches here
I happen to like the blue blunce effect
esp the shot at 10:00
Yeah it’s pretty nice I agree
Very cool and very nice work 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you

I wouldn’t say they are pricey but they require a good crew. I would tighten your frame and do 4x4 frames which are easy, cheap and manageable

Thanks! And didn’t have access to it

So how to draw in Davinci? :D
Man, I have been trying to figure how to draw in Davinci resolve too just like Wandering Dp does. Can you please share how you do it now? What am I missing? Lovely tutorial as usual also
Epic Pen
Great work man! There is just one question remaining: how do you paint in davinci resolve? 😄
Epic pen
How big was your G&E department on this?
Not too big. Maybe 3x2? 5 total usually
I hate to do this to you but you can see the diffusion in the porta reflection. Not noticeable at all but it is there
Oh well lol
Is this out yet? Like digital streaming
Not yet!
You got let me know how you figured out how to draw in Davinci 😂
Epic Pen
How many days it took you guys too shoot the feature :)
22-25 days I believe
Is highlight less diffused than 1/4 grid?
Yes
Such a simple video but had so much information, loved this dude👌🏻🙏🏻
Glad you liked it!
Just found your channel, I also just subscribed!
Thanks for subbing!
Such a bomb A** video 🔥🤙🏼🎥

Beautiful work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I was just building my own diffusion frame to shoot something like this, thanks for the solid tips Carlo!
Good luck!
Ciao Gian Carlo, that was a great BTS insight. Thank you for sharing!
Could you please tell us how do you draw on Davinci Resolve?
Epic Pen
I just watched the film on Saturday, and got impressed with the cinematography, beautiful footage, every scene was very well done!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Plan on doing any videos on how to light a room for youtube videos? Not necessarily talking head shots but a shot of you working on your desk for example
Not as of now
Played football and baseball on that Field (Interboro High School)
Indeed!
Excellent video. This is very helpful and I will certainly use it as a reference. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

Other than these specific examples of dealing with high noon light, do you have any other tips?

Maybe you might want to introduce light so adding a powerful key light through diffusion may help brighten the face (more commercial looking)
so good! I'm assuming that scene was shot using all natural light ? , at what point or scenario would bring in lights for outdoor stuff ?
Correct. If you’re not getting enough punch or you’re going for a specific look that requires a more precise light
saw the film in Manchester and it was phenomenal- thank you for the detailed breakdown
Glad you enjoyed it!
yeaaaa love these breakdowns
The blue porta potty is doing a good job as a kicker for some of those singles. Great video man!
No doubt!
Great video, super helpful, instant subscribe

Amazing works! Subscribing!

Can you please explain the theme of the Nanlite competition
Shining Through is the theme. If you go on their website they have an in depth explanation of the completion! If you have a short film idea this could be a good chance to get some funding!
Thank you Carlo, it’s great learning
My pleasure!
we need more Carlo!
