In my opinion, for the thumbnail I personally like the before photo.

[@Bryanegreenlee]

I have searched for instructions for outdoor setups for interviews on a budget and most of the videos required expensive lighting equipment. I was a little discouraged because I already made an investment in a camera and several lenses. But I found your video and man, thank you! I wanted the best for less lighting setup to maximize my productivity and return on investment (ROI). Again, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! ✊🏾👊🏾✊🏾👊🏾

Just stumbled across your channel - amazing tips and lighting techniques. I’m an aspiring filmmaker and I’m really trying to hone my lighting skills. I would definitely be interested in a video on how to make a diy scrim. Keep up the great videos.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! Sounds like a hot video to do! I’ve got one coming out Monday stay tuned!

I cant get over these series of videos... He is the new Tom Antos... and WOWZA he may be the best teacher in the world... So blessed by these videos... can i invest in you? Your abilities and teaching style are going to transform the world of future creators. They already are doing it..

[@BradyBessette]

of course you can invest!! thank you so so so much!

[@nick314]

In the fashion world, the 'before' (perhaps with a pro mist added and exposed lower for the skin) is preferred. Backlight is the enemy of high fashion :) This is to say that each style and approach has its place.

[@sadko2799]

I love how elegant you were in reminding us to hit that bell button

I try to be nice 🥺

[@Jb11rabbit]

UA-cam recommended this to me and i thought why not leave a comment from my view as a Film Student. I like this kinda light setup because it is light and easy but i prefer to have more contrast in the face. Take the Bounce a few steps back and maybe a litte bit more from the side. Or try the opposite and take light away with the dark side of the bounce. A lot of this stuff isn't an exact science, do what looks good. I love the one Bounce setup for moving shots because you only need one person to hold this thing and run besides you.
I think this kind of very flat and balanced light on the face would be great for talking head interviews or a very happy and positive movie. More contrast more drama. Lastly my thought on the harsh vs soft light on the face. Men tend to look better in harsher light and woman look better in softer light. This is what i was taught and what I also would agree with. If you really try to look for it most Movies and TV shows do exactly that. Men have harsher more defining light while women have a softer more flattering light even if they are standing in the exact same spot. Not always the case but I notice it sometimes.

[@michalwalks]

First time I watched your videos. From the first 2 seconds I realise you walk the talk.. amazing production quality.

[@BradyBessette]

I appreciate that! It means a lot, thank you!

[@alimagnetic-iransenigma9647]

i usually never subscribe to a channel just by watching a video and not going through at least half of the videos of a channel. but for Brady i made an exception by watching only this video. it was really great and well taught at the same time short and felt friendly and honest. i love that.

Amazing video Brady "No Bueno" LOL I like that

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you! Haha

[@tallguytrav]

Love your channel. The way you bounced the light when the sun was behind the subject in lovingly referred to by some as the "sun sandwich". I personally like the look of it but some argue because the sun is coming from the opposite direction of the key light source, it can look unnatural. While it's more difficult to get right sometimes, if you try bouncing from the same direction of the sun you can make the sun look like it wrapping around the subject more (so if the sun is backlighting the subject on the right, you would bounce from the right as well instead of the left). That being said I still love your work and you inspire me to do better, just something to try. Keep it up!

[@BradyBessette]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words and insight!!

[@tallguytrav]

@@BradyBessette I wish I could claim the info as my own lol. If you haven't found the wandering DP podcast already you might enjoy the breakdown episodes. He goes in-depth on big-budget lighting. But you can take the advice with a grain of salt because you do better work than I do! lol

[@queerfoto]

Wow. This is an awesome video!

[@BradyBessette]

Glad you think so! Thanks!

[@AaronMello]

LOL @ 0:59 - Great video! I think people get too caught up in thinking they NEED lighting in a situation like this to overpower the sun. While it may be easier in a sense, it's not on the wallet! The frames where you're simply bouncing light on the white side toward her looks so clean!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you for this!! But yes so accurate. That’s what I was trying to push for this, that you don’t NEED expensive gear

Amazing, it was a full lesson. Big up I learnt a lot and you could just offer to give us the knowledge for free. God bless the work of your hands

[@teachercalebbatista]

Man, that was amazing. Thank you so much. I've just started filming myself for instagram reels, and I'm in Brazil, where things are really expensive... I like to film outdoors, in parks or close to forests, during the day, of course, I wanted to increase the lighting aspect of the video, but what light is cheap and can do the job? Against the sun? None. Your idea is way better than any light I could think of buying. I can't begin to tell you how much you've helped a brother out. I'm really grateful. Peace

[@kirankiranmishra]

Thanks man

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you as wel

[@nunofarizo]

These 5 in 1 reflectors tend to cut to much light, you should try something I've been using for some years now. I created a scrim with a fabric that has some translucency and the result is much more natural, it retains the hard lined shadows and at the same time cuts some of the intensity of the light. Works best for men but can be used as a reflector as well.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@PrimeAtl]

Wow your channel is amazing I’m learning so much from your content keep going!

[@BradyBessette]

[@jasonfreeman8780]

This was a really helpful simple video. Thanks Brady.

[@GeoElmoGeocaching]

Thanks for making this video. As someone just starting I don't have stands or scrims, I just have one of those 5 in 1 reflector/diffusor items. One of my biggest questions is how to film someone outdoors using shade to keep direct sun off without making the background look very bright and washed out. I've been waiting for cloudy days to do my outdoor filming to avoid this.

[@BradyBessette]

of course thank you so much!
