It´s easy to knowing when somebody really knows what he´s talking about. Thanks so much.
bouncing light its like magic for the production ! 🤘
little correction: gordon willis was the dp for the godfather
Was thinking of writing the same :D
@@allanbani Same. I think they were saying "this is what this DP is famous for and the METHOD (not the DP) was used in The Godfather..." (maybe)
Really surprised by the pincushion on those nanomorphs!
I suffer from ADD. I can't help but notice IDC's voice tone going up and down now. Once you hear it you can't un-hear it. Great vids as always though! Really insightful.
Incredibly useful, I think you took my understanding of lighting a couple of steps forward. Very grateful for that, thank you! Subbed :)
Thank you. Love your break down. 11:24 personally I like this ratio, rather than everything too bright.
This is excellent! I'll show it to my students tomorrow! THANKS!
Absolutely Great Video!!!!!
Thank you for the video. Question... in the last day example, can you please share the exposure to face. The first shot seemed properly exposed, and the last was a touch bright imo.
Great video.
Gordon Willis dp'd Godfather
And many other great films.
I know the fixtures are fairly light but id still p ut something in between the pole and the wall to save those poor walls lol
where is the link for the super clamp
It even annoys me that in movies every lamp in the room is always ON. Even if there are 6 lamps they fully on. No one in real life lives like that!
I do lol. I really hate overhead lights- that shit’s UGLY
And I do, and all my friends and family here in Scandinavia do.
I mean I also do, but not like 6-8 lamps at the same time😃
2-3 are enough
Broke my Samsung Note screen this week. Called local shop, drove over and back in action for $30 in about an hour.
Can this kind of toplight be done using a lantern say for photography projects or does it need to be a flat/square softbox?
Interesting video, kind of in a "what not to do" way. IMO, modern cinematography lighting is way too flat--too much diffusion, too much "practical, motivated" lighting. Why is it so trendy to hate highlights? I'm not even talking about clipping--just warm and even hot highlights are like blasphemy now, but if you look at "old" movies like the first Blade Runner, there are numerous shots with bright highlights. And on the opposite side of the spectrum, we have "detail in the shadows." Again, not sure where or why this became so trendy. Dark City, The Crow, Alien, Blade Runner--all movies DPs claim they love--all have crushed shadows. Absolutely no detail in the shadows at all. Yet modern DPs light every shot so every piece of the set is lit in the same diffused light as the actor and the result is everything looking flat and dimensionless. And I wouldn't even say this is just my opinion since I see laypeople complain about movies and shows looking "too dark" now. Of course, it's not that per se, but that modern DPs eschew hard lighting, use way too much diffusion and fill light, etc and everything just looks flat and dull. There's no chiaroscuro, no contrast, no depth to modern cinematography.
I completely agree. Plus this type of lighting can make it difficul to get an eye light.
6:20 when the lights are above and farther from the set they don't appear softer, on the contrary they become harder. correct me if im wrong
you're right. as you get closer the light source get bigger, the bigger the light source the softer it will be, vice versa
You are correct.
Indeed, they just use gigantic sources on those high budget movies with really powerful output.
I just tried this with my phone light. Closer has harsher light and harder shadows on the object, further away has softer light and harder shadows FROM the object.
A source that is placed farther away will be harder but have a more even spread often making it look less “sourcy”, as you bring a light in closer it will get softer but the because everything will be bigger in relation to the light you will get bigger and bigger shadows
So there is someone in the world who is into lighting, but didn't know the actual DP of the godfather ???
The best lighting trick is to use a bigger sensor to create more compression 🙂
there are so many things wrong with this statement im not even gonna bother
@@itsapinecone7280 I’m commenting it because he stated this total misinformation a few videos ago and hasn’t fixed it

What the hell is going on with your intonation during this video?
The godfather's dp is gordon willis, not conrad L. hall.
