Please keep making these. As someone who is some years behind you this is gold.
Can't agree more with you !
Yessss
Yes!! I second your feelings 1000%
Always happy to see when you’ve posted new content! A true professional with the willingness and ability to share their experiences and wisdom. Thanks, Lewis!
"not too perfect" is something I have been thinking about lately. I've been following a lot of filmmakers and DP's and some are so good at lighting that the scenes look so fake, like its so obvious these were lit. I think what you said is a great example of showing what "life" is really like, and mimicking it. I've found myself lighting scenes that look great but when i look back its so clear to me that I just use every light i had because i could, not necessarily because I needed it. There is beauty in the simple. Good stuff Lew
There's no fake lighting. It's not all the time DPs light realistically. Sometimes they light for style/art sake. Theatre/film is larger than life. Example, the smoke you put in scenes do you have it in your home on a normal day? It depends on your vision in crafting your scenes/shots.
does the type of tomatoes in the can matter? if i only have diced, will that work? please answer in a future video
Yeah I'll cover this topic in more detail in a another video
I feel like your uploads are the golden part of UA-cam for me.
I feel really comfortable because of your personality (which makes me feel real comfortable).
It feels like we are hanging out, so even if you might see your channel as educational, it is highly entertaining too.
And of course I learn A LOT.
Wouldn't expect this amount of lights by just looking at the scene. Great job on making it look natural.
Cant tell you how confident I feel after seeing your videos. You make things look so common sensical so anyone can actually breakdown the shots and the lighting! Always looking forward to your new video.
Great walkthrough. Honestly, I can never watch enough lighting breakdowns. There is so much to take away and learn from them. Thank you.
Please do more of these!! Love love love them!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Love your videos, man! Tks for sharing! Hugs from Brazil! 🇧🇷✌🏼
The way you use light is so beautiful, nuanced and precise, it’s incredible. The splash of hard light blends everything so perfectly! Thank you so much for the knowledge, this is the best cinematography channel, so incredibly grateful to have found you and for your content. I look forward to drinking it all in.
Damn his subs have blown up...well deserved. Such an insanely good channel
BTW, shots of the kids beaten up have such a Deakin's "No Country for old men" vibe ! Great job Lewis !
Your content is absolutely gold, I have lived in Australia for 4 years and have left only 2 months ago and just now found your channel, keep it coming bro
Hi Lewis, you have a beautiful work done and I admire that you not only talk about those things but you actually do them, you shoot them. I work in an agency where we have several productions of different budgets planned for this year. I would very much like to see a video of how you plan such a set, how you put together a crew, how long it takes you to plan something like this, but at the same time I would like to watch on a smaller scale where you can put together a maximum of 5 people, whom you would miss and who just have to be on the team? Our productions are on a smaller budget and I just get to the given level of DoP, so I take every video from a professional to heart. Thank you, Zoltan.
btw. this is just my personal freelance acc on youtube
Absolutely loving your videos, straight talking, insightful and with a dash of humour. Perfect, thank- you from Scotland.
Looks like Greg Fraser was DPing with that light brighter on their arms. I love that! But a more important observation: where did you get that patch??
Yesssss!!!! What a Monday!!!!
Where can i see the ad, it looks great
Solid lighting break down just in time for a shoot in a similar setting. I'm really looking forward to going through more of your videos.
Thanks for the video! Loving your stuff so far
This is just perfect, man, perfect video for starting cinematographers. Tomato can and knife stand holding bouncing board really made me chuckle knowing there was a big truck full of gear xD But it's never stupid if it works and it reminds me how we do things in our company sometimes where there is just no budget and time. You have to be able to work with whatever you get :) You nailed the light bzw - it does feel very natural and pleasant to look at. This is just great channel. Keep it up.
this looks so good.
Would love to see the end result "the ad" at the end of the video
Been sad without you Lewis!
Thanks for the tips, great video as always!
Hi! Love your videos! Keep it up :) Where can I find that Arri patch you had in this video? 😀😀
I bought it from an AC in LA that did a limited run of his custom designs. Unfortunately they're no longer available 😥
Thank you! 😀
About to shoot a kitchen commercial on Saturday - thanks for sharing the light splash and not to have the sun through the same window as your light! LEGEND LEWIS
I really appreciate your lighting breakdowns Lewis. When you’re lighting through a window for your key and it’s in the frame, how do you typically expose for that? Is the window usually a bit blown out? What is the right balance of being able to get enough exposure on your subject without blowing out the window. Thanks
That lighting looks so good. I need to get better at lighting.
Have you ever made a video on the uniqueness of lighting people with darker skin?
I’d love to see how you go about lighting night shoots
Would love to see how you expose or some false color shots! Keep up the awesome work 💪💪
great job! I loved how you used the reflector to bounce off the sunlight.
Thanks for the post Lewis!
It's insane how often I suggest your youtube channel to people IRL or on reddit. You're the best man!
About to head to set for another day of production, seeing this on my feed is perfect timing !
Love those tutorials man !
Nice spot! Can't wait to see on air :)
Great work Lewis and thanks for the info. Would love to see a video of how you colour grade and settings you like to use!
thanks lewis!! Always making such great break downs. Can you please talk a bit about the time you spend preparing and what that might look like? Do you use software, draw it out or all in your head? How much do you talk with the client about it and does it take you days or an afternoon? Things like that would be super valuable. Thanks!
I'm making a short film for the first time and this was so helpful!!
Hi Lewis, thanks for doing these videos they are so interesting and clearly show why the fears within some in the photography community that kids with cell phones will soon be taking their jobs are entirely unfounded for the true professionals in the field. Cheers Chris (retired amateur photog from New Zealand)
One of the best YT channels ever.
I think many are curious what LUT you're using? Looks really nice. Are there any filters on the lens or mid-tone detail adjustments in post? Many thanks.
Awesome content, mate!!
Knives and tomato cans now added to my kit :)
It’s always exciting when you release content! Thank you
Man, your videos are good! 👍
Brilliant, you didn't have to do these videos, but you did... respect
I love that you used crls panels on this shoot, do you think you could make a video in the future going into more detail on using them, their advantages and disadvantages?
I love how laid back you are with these videos and this time around adding some humor 🤣…You caught me off guard with the kitchen knives and tomato can 🥫
Brilliant ..please keep posting for students like us.
Nice work! Would love to know where that location is/how you find it. Always looking for good, older places in Sydney.
Merci beaucoup pour ces vidéos Lewis !!
@lewis Potts I'd love to know what all is on that komodo build. At 0:41 it's clean as heck
Lewis, you are an absolute gun, keep on keeping on. No matter what u put out there I’m certain erryones gonna be throthin, don’t forget that!
So helpful. Thank you!
I love you 😍 thank you so much for these videos!!!
Finally!!! New vid
Hey Lewis, such an amazing breakdown of how you shot this. The lighting looks beautiful. Where can we see the finished product?
Thanks for your professional Input. Keep going ✌🏼from Germany !
Thank you for breakdown. Footage looks great.
I love your channel! I find your insight and breakdown so helpful, please make more of these :)
Really appreciate your vids bro. Also the fact your an Aussie too 🔥🔥
This is great!!
Great video! As someone who has worked in food photography moving into this world, timestamp 5:53 made me crack up.
Love your style Lewis :)
Love your work! Super informative and to the point! *Also, adds kitchen knives to gear list*
Very nice. Always a pleasure to watch!
Amazing. Thanks for giving back and sharing your knowledge. Great to see the pros using tomato soup cans too 😅
Another classic!
just got my first CRLS kit, I loved watching you using them as well !
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible content with us
Such informative and great examples!
Thank you so much for bringing us with you on real projects
can of tomatoes comes in handy
thank you i really enjoyed this video
Amazing video - truly inspiring and packed with knowledge - thank you!
Loving these. Keep it up man!
I think the greatest intro ever is..."...but we're not fixing family drama, we're fixing cinematography." haha
Can you link to the kitchen knives on B&H please? 😂 Thanks for the insight, helpful/informational as always Lewis!
Hi Lewis, thank you so much for these breakdown videos! How would you light small residential apartments when theres no option of lighting from outside the windows?
The lightbridge has some great ways of solving these kind of problems. Check out their Instagram
@thelightbridge
Thanks so much.
Really love this content!! Thanks for doing it!
nice channel, bruh
love it, lot of useful things
you are the best!Thanks!!!
I'm here from Epic Light Media, good stuff!
too long between videos! good to see you back
Love it!
Hey bud love your vids they're very well produced and executed. For a commercial with scaled-up production like this, how much can a DP expect to make for the day, also if he's going to edit?
I love it Bro.. I like that AD Style 😂👍🙋🏻♂️
Such a cool video Lewis. Thanks for the tips. Doing a similar Hard / Soft Light from windows this week, I hope to get as good results. Those CLRS are are such a cool tools if you got times with them. And yeah 40mm is such a cool focal lenght. We're always switching between 35 and 50...... and 40 is just overal perfect ahah.
Nice video thanks. I'm curious what the benefit of the 18k into the CRLS was, i.e as opposed to just firing the 18k in directly? (Easier to lift the reflector up high, than the 18k perhaps?)
I didn't use an 18k, I used the sun. I was saying it's similar to an 18k
@@lewispotts I see (hear rather..!) thanks. Enjoying these breakdowns.
These are great. Thanks.
I LOVE CONTENT LIKE THIS! KEEP IT UPP!!! 😍❤❤
Love these videos so much!! Keep it up man. Also, wanted to ask if you had a recommendation as far as the curtains go, ordered some in the past that were a bit too thin to really cut much light... Thanks!
Lewis, tangential question: where can I get one of those “My other camera is an ARRI” stickers?
They were my camera assistant Dan Stone's, you'll need to ask him. But I think they were from a limited run but some guy in LA
@@lewispotts Yeah, I did a quick search online before posting the comment and could tell that it wasn’t an official product easy to find. Looks great, tho! Thank you, anyway!
Awesome and thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Who doesn't carry kitchen knives and can of tomatoes in their production van? lol! Jokes aside, thanks for this! Always learning something new from your videos, Lewis!
Do you like that Falcon Eyes light? Would you recommend it? Thanks.
Top notch video as always! On another note, where can I get one of those 'my other camera' stickers?? :)
Cheers Mate
Thanks!
