    Cinematographer Casey McBeath joins Ted Sim in the studio to setup some of the softest lighting Hollywood has to offer. We discuss the factors that contribute to softer lighting and we demonstrate two of the best lighting setups that famous cinematographers, like Roger Deakins, use - the book light and the cove light.

    I love how humble Ted is, doing all kinds of hoop and twists to make we forget he FREAKING OWNS APUTURE. Go ahead, Ted, all youtubers use the Light Dome ii. You might as well. Just use your WONDERFUL LIGHTS, we want to see them in action!

  • @magiqman43
    @magiqman43 3 роки тому

    Great video guys. Another good thing about the cove light as you have it here is that it is also creating a bit of harder (not too hard) edge light on the right side (camera left) of the talents face. To me that's what really makes the cove set up shine here. For me one of the potential down sides of the cove is the amount of space you need to achieve the set up. So what I usually do is make a book light and then add an additional slightly harder light fixture (usually a titan tube) outside the book light hitting the talent which can give you a soft wrap on the face and add that nice little edge. Thanks for putting out all this great content. Knowledge really is powerful and you guys are sharing a lot of it. Cheers!
