    What I like the most about this breakdown is that theses scenes looks really cinematic but the lighting is minimum, proving that you don’t really need big setups and even we could try something like that by learning where to put the lights. Bring some more, I wanna keep learning!

      Exactly, more please!

      Absolutely

    • @ali_films
      @ali_films 2 роки тому +5

      True but also the cams and lenses they use are top of the line, plus the film is graded by pros which compensates a lot imo

    • @zoanyway
      @zoanyway 2 роки тому +5

      The number of lights might by minimal, but I'm not sure I'd call a 12x frame with crate, pushed up against a wall, and therefore probably lit by several expensive panels, or one massive flex LED, a lightweight setup achievable by your typical indie filmmaker!

    • @daniel.lopresti
      @daniel.lopresti 2 роки тому +1

      @@zoanyway I'd say the point really is just seeing the simple concepts used here which can be recreated for any interior daylight scenes, where you don't need super complex setups. Sure, the gear might be out of reach of tiny budgets, but that can be addressed by limiting the scope of your shots (not doing enormous wide shots or long, moving master shots) and "cheating" a lot in your close-ups. Also, rental exists for a reason ;)

    Well we just got 10x as much useful lighting info in this one video that 100 UA-camrs could give you in as many videos. Love your videos Lewis!

    @PhilEdwardsInc 2 роки тому +1

    Yes! Cinematography Database used to do this kinda thing before he became an Unreal Engine addict and entered the matrix. Great to see this!

  • @Sks-hf3pv

    @kartanosaka 2 роки тому +21

    Honestly I really love your chill demeanour. It is a breath of fresh air, seeing as other filmmaking-youtubers are the embodiment of hype, while the actual content is drowning. Every video is an inspiration! Keep it up!

  • @sheldonnorton9035
    @sheldonnorton9035 2 роки тому +1

    Reminds me of the classic top lighting of white linen on tabletops that Robert Richardson uses.

  • @davidp158
    @davidp158 2 роки тому

    Yes, these breakdowns are always helpful. I have gotten into the habit of studying available light everywhere I go, as if I had to shoot with it or recreate it. I have to get in the habit of analyzing film scenes as you have done in these videos. Finding BTS for reference helps, but it’s a good exercise even without BTS.

    Super interesting! I loved the insights about how the planning and logistics of the shoot played into the decisions. Like splitting the two 4x4 frames to make it easier to transition to a different set up. This is something that I don't take into consideration nearly enough.
