The master of light strikes again ⚡️⚡️ another video with an absolute ton of useful information on gear, movement, lighting & colour. Really awesome stuff!
BRO! Thanks for the love man, really means a lot to me! Can't wait for our next project together :)
You're a wizard DOP and it was so much fun to work on projects like this with you! Seriously cannot wait for everything we have planned!
Legend, so stoked to have you on my side, cheers to GREAT THINGS!
Love the professionalism and passion! It must be so great to be involved in a Jacques Crafford Production. I can only imagine how much one can learn from your mastery!

Very happy to hear that. Thanks for your support on the channel! 🙏🏼
This was a super helpful breakdown. The ability to adjust the green & magenta on the Nanlite Forza 500B II is amazing. Thank you for sharing your expert knowledge!
I never realised how much lighting goes into filming. Every detail just make sense. Great video! Love to learn new things
Thank you! Lighting is probably the #1 aspect of making something look more "cinematic".
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
You’re one of my favorite teachers to learn from brotha!! Keep it up!
Yooo thanks dude. Really appreciate that! 🙏🏼

Yo man, that's so good to hear. Really appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Dang…I didn’t realize how much work went into lighting this project. It’s one of my favorite shorts right now and this is probably one of the reasons why. Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes. I was really curious about this one.
Aaah I'm so happy to hear that! Lighting just makes such a huge difference that I'm always pushing myself to put in the maximum effort to get the best results!
Amazing BTS breakdown!!!!!We can see how much time and effort is been put into your projects.Thanks for sharing it and keep inspiring us.Salutes from London.😃

I've just discovered your channel. Thank you very much because learning about light is quite difficult. I'd to know the basic light to start because I find most of the lights expensive. Thank you very much again
Making is Super bro ❤

Men I really like Your knowledge
Awesome.

🙏🏼
An absolutely brilliant channel! Fanks! If you can share you Nanlite pimp details it will be great. Finding a stockist in South Africa is a mission.
Not that I can afford any of these lights but damn…it’s great watching them in action.
Thanks man, one doesn't always have to buy all of them, sometimes renting works out cheaper if you only use them from time to time!
Jacques have you see this dudes channel by the name of Gian Carlo Stigliano, you guys both have the same vibes going. Between your channel and his....great combination of learning.
Bro yes!!! I LOVE THAT GUY, such a cool dude to learn from!
@@jacques_crafford Amaaaaazing brother...hope you have had an awesome weekend. What are the plans for this week ahead. I just got told today that I will be taking on the lifestyle shoots from a brand I do here in Durban. Winning.
wow
Thank you! 🙏🏼
What app did you use to check WB?
Light Spectrum Pro!
Yup! That's the one! It's not 100% accurate in all scenarios but it gets you close and it's a lot cheaper than a real light meter!
Anyone familiar with the app that's used around 3:45? Would love to check that out!
Did you happen to know the name of the app?
as always, extremely useful.
Thanks Muji, super grateful for your support!
Amazing video breakdown! What mm were you using for the wide shots (test scene) and mids (walking to the helicopter)? thanks!
Hi! Can you explain which gels you use and how to use them to avoid melting, I have some problems even with forza 200 when I use gels. Thanks!
Love your work. But how do you power your Forza 500 with v mount, witch v mount do you use? I can’t find any where 🥲🥲🥲
Cheers from Brazil! 🙏🏻
Thanks Lucas! The Power Balast has 2 x V-Lock Attachments on the side so you just plug it onto the Balast. I'm using a variety of V-mounts but I don't even own them, I just rent them from a local rental house.
can we get a 2023 color grading tutorial from you brother? love the content you provided, making sony look amazing!
Thanks brother, I'm burning to make another grading tutorial, will try my best for one soon!
@@jacques_crafford looking forward to it brother! thanks for your content, it has really helped me bring the love back to my sony again!
Great vid as always bru! What’s the app you used to measure the colour temp ?
Light Spectrum Pro!
@@_kcams thanks 😊
Yup! That's the one! It's not 100% accurate in all scenarios but it gets you close and it's a lot cheaper than a real light meter!
what collor meter are you using in this video? Is it an app for cellphone?
Aaah yes, it's an app for a cellphone called "Lightspectrum Pro". It's not 100% accurate in all scenarios but it gets you close and it's a lot cheaper than a real light meter!
Awesome! Thanks for this video, man. What app for white balance did you used?
Aaah yes, it's an app called "Lightspectrum Pro". It's not 100% accurate in all scenarios but it gets you close and it's a lot cheaper than a real light meter!
@@jacques_crafford wow, thanks a lot!♥️
What is that color meter app?
Hi , what app is that for the color temp
hey jacques. great skills mate. could you do something like that also for single shooters as I don't have such a variety of lights neither so many people to work with haha.
I know it wouldn't get the same result but I guess on run and gun filming there's some ways to fix that as good as possible for sure. THX
Thanks mate! I'd love to do one like that, great idea!
வாழ்க வளமுடன் நன்றி
Thank You! 🙏🏼
I am going to buy more Nanlite products as they are sponsoring this. for me Aputure and Nanlite are the same after these changes in nanlite...I would go with them once they start sponsoring my favorite UA-camr Jacques Crafford
Thanks mate that's really cool to hear! Nanlite has been super innovative the last few years and I'm excited to see them improve even more, I love the brand!
@@jacques_crafford
Thanks Jacques, now I am Nanlite man ... I am writing the comment as I will not be able to buy them online through your affiliate links...we buy locally here
just got 3 Nanlite Forza 60B II ..I love it more than my aputure ls 60x...aesthetics so good ...and I like this new reflector...make it the best rim light for me.
I got 4 pavotube ..I just hope they will come with magnet accessories ..rather than I have to buy them.
just did a gym video...and I like the gym now...tons of metal everywhere.... stick them anywhere...
Is there anything in particular you added to the phantom luts to achieve this grade??
Naaah just did a solid white balance and went for "Arri Utopia" nothing more, nothing less :)
Hi! What you use app? Exp and WB
It's called "Lightspectrum Pro". It's not 100% accurate in all scenarios but it gets you close and it's a lot cheaper than a real light meter! I only use it for WB not for exposure.
What app was that at 4:34?
Light Spectrum Pro!
@@_kcams youre the real MVP!
Like you said in older video, my timeline should be edit in 25fps because of my country so my question is if I shoot at 100fps I can slow them down 4 times right? But what will happen if I shoot at 120fps?
Thank you very for the BTS , actually I try to figure it out how you put your light where, how, what kind of light did you use and it turned out about 60% correct.
Anyway thank you so much, Love it.❤❤❤
Aaah that's awesome, I also do that when watching other films and I'm glad you got most of it right. I never slow down my clips to a percentage, I just CONFORM / INTERPRET them to 25 FPS that means it will automatically slow down the clips to the optimal percentage where 100 FPS would be 25% and 120 would be 20%
@@jacques_crafford Thanks a lot, I'm still long way to go.
I refuse to believe forza 500 competes with the sun.. 'll look it up
did you find out if it can?
No one said it COMPETES with the sun. I said we chose that location because it doesn't get a lot of sun so the Forza 500 is able to compete with the little light that does come in there that time of the day, which is already a lot but the Forza 500 is strong enough for that.
Note!! This artist is doing all this with a very accessible Sony mirrorless camera. So none of this I need a "cinema camera" excuses folks...
So amazing i will ask my question from Instagram its ok with you
Thank you my friend! I'll do my best to get to your message, I'm a bit overwhelmed, literally hundreds of them haha
@@jacques_crafford thanks so much
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I reqlly wanted to see that helicopter shot. Its amazing.
If you ever need an extra hand, please let me know. I'll be very happy to assist you. Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. Really appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Hey, I had a question of whether you shot this in Slog3 or stuck to no picture profile? If s-log did you have to overexpose or expose as seen true to life?
Such an AMAZING work! Thanks Jacques soooo much!!🔥🔥🔥
Aaaah thanks Fam, it's an honour working with you! So grateful for all the love you have shown me through the years!
We love you....Jacques Crafford...You are exceptional value to our community .. Thanks Man
Thanks brother, you are most kind! Comments like these really serve as a great encouragement to me!
Your channel is one of the best I’ve come across. Your tutorials are broken down into simple steps to help the viewer understand the whole process. Thank you!🙌🏾
Hey man, thank you for your nice comment, I really appreciate it so much! 🙏🏼
ypur color grading is Epic man, Love it.
What apps usWhat apps do you use to see the temperature and color in the video?
great. but u never told us ur white balance in camera in all examples. i assume it was always 5500-5600?
Hey Jacques,
really a great Video! Can i ask you, whats that for an Lightning App on your Smartphone?
Amazing! Do you have a filmmaking course? I bought buy it right now! :)
Brilliant Teamwork.... Appreciate you sharing your inspiration & Skills...

Amazing SHort FIlm I saw b4 watching this making video it's just great though with best techniques
Really glad you think so! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Love from india, kerala❤
Thank you!🙏🏼
Bro thanks for making these videos, you are one of my biggest inspiration for my video business. I’m always wondering with how many people you are working and how long shoots like this take you to film.
Yo! Thanks so much for the nice words, really appreciate that! 🔥 Very glad that my videos are an inspiration to you!
So many details, both technical and artistic. Lot of logistics around one as it looks to normal viewer "simple film". Guys you did an amazing job as usual. And again thanks for sharing your knowledge and tricks with us.
Thank you so much for the super kind words. Really glad you appreciate the video. And thank you so much for your support on the channel as a subscriber! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
0:38 are the handles not upside down?
Technically yes but I love it this way.
Wow 👏 so true words my friend 😉 I am old but I will never stop learning 😂 filmmaking is my passion 🎥
S log 3??
Absolutely crushing each video you make 👌🏻
Thank you so much, Chris. Really appreciate the feedback! 🔥
beautiful ! do you think it's possible to speak about grading?
Thanks Anderson! I'm planning another tutorial about grading just not sure when but keep an eye out!
Watching from Philippines,,,🇵🇭
Thank you for your support! 🙏🏼
Amazing breakdown, thank you so much for all your insights on your intent behind all the decisions, so much talent went into this thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for watching, I am really glad that you find value in the videos! 🔥
As always, a very good video. Thank you.
Appreciate that. Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙏🏼
Great breakdowns and awesome film as allways! props to the entire team and actors
Your lighting setups are inspiring, with the checkerboard and excellent use of the bounce with fresnell adapter. wish I had time, budget and similar setup to light my productions. I've got some small led lights and some 60 Cobs DL but nothing on batteries or strong enough for outside light during daytime and my trusty A7iV and tamron / sony lenses.
Those pavotubes we rented for a production a while ago, and they are really flexible and awsome to use, but expensive as well. And you got 3 in some scenes ;)
Could you also do a low budget film soon with a breakdown.. more one to two outlet powered lights pls. and bounce/natural etc. Would love to see some more setups you can make with that kind of setup.
Although I can only dream of owning this equipment, it was so informative and inspirational. Short, to the point tutorial - loving it. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing work! I learned a lot.
Really glad to hear that! 🙏🏼
Love it!! Do you shoot all intra or H.265?
Thanks Shannon! I shoot ALL Intra on these types of short films. Still not 100% convinced if there's a difference haha!
@@jacques_crafford Amazing- why not ProRes or RAW?
Top quality, as always 💯
Really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
Incredible!
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼
can we get a color grading tutorial on the same helicopter shots as well please. like when the character gets in to the helicopter scene, i know i am asking so much if that's possible, else its cool. good work 🙂
I love your vidéo tutorial on the caméra and color grading in DaVinci résolve 🎉🎉
Really glad to hear that, thanks! 🙏🏼
@@jacques_crafford more again of tutorial on DaVinci résolve and settings camera
