This was inspiring to watch. The most valuable lesson in this whole video is literally the fact that you should never be lazy when it comes to the initial setups. It will make or break your entire scene. Sometimes it can be overwhelming knowing that it's 2 small scenes that potentially no one will notice, to start building up complicated light setups... But you never know that those two small scenes separate you from what anyone else has been doing and give you a breakthrough in your viewers' eyes. It's a hard and valuable lesson to learn in the world of cinema.
Pay your attention and have a control of the harsh light flow. A quite popular problem from the backlight is - hard light, which "cut" a neck of the character.
I press the play button of this video in my smart TV, I couldn't press the stop button. Wonderful and inspiring content! There are nice, informative, interesting, good or very good content in film UA-cam channels, but high quality and inspiring content, very few!
I realy realy love the transparency and the authenticity in your Videos. I've had the feeling that I'm really learning something compared to other tutorials for a long time.
Thanks a lot, not a single softbox used as majority of filmmakers recommend, that´s the diffference between a youtuber and a real DP, thanks for sharing mate
Thanks mate! I use a soft box a lot too :) but, as a direct and key light for motivating of a real light sources (street light, floor lamp etc). Direct light without soft diffusion is quite harsh, and it has a huge f stop value of exposure. A softbox helps to make f-stops value less and softer.
I'm completely amateur on this, but I would to make scenes. I only have sony a7c, no lights at the moment. But I love the cinematic atmosphere, I can't stop thinking about this. The problem is I think is to complex sometimes and difficult to start with low budget. Your video is amazing, you have a new subscriptor.
Your Way Of Explaining Every Scene is So Good...And In this Video Every moment I seen Your Patience....Thanks For your Most Valuable Idea's.... Hari Krishna Director From India....
First, thank you for this great video. As a DOP in Brasil, I can say that we always work on a tight budget and you show great skills on that. Second, could you please show us the camera settings for each shot? That'd be awesome. Cheers from Brasil.
Great lesson video; I envy you so much, that you can do what you love and prevail as a filmaker! I have noticed, that the video was probably originally much longer, since a lot of CC text remained, that arent even in the video, so I bet you edited out some parts. But still. editing a BTS video like this is a hell of a job itself. And its always a great lesson to watch them.
Thank you so much for your video ! it's a beautiful gift ! I have one question : Can you tell what's the model of your dolly rail please ? (and the platform)

Brilliant! Always inspiring. Your lighting is so realistic and never disappoints :). Curious about what soft filter you were using on the interior shots?
Thanks. I use a simple iPhone camera. Trying to measure exposure by bright areas in the frame. Window, practical etc. iPhone (not RAW mode) gives me this ability.
man so inspiring - really struggling with getting the right tone atm - tempting to blame the camera (zcam s6) haha just everything looks so muddy but I'm sure its a lighting issue. Going to put these tips into practise
love the content. you're somewhat hard to understand tho. there's this training technique where you press your tongue towards the teeths in various places (like 10 or so) while saying a sentence. when you do that just prior to recording it strengthens the muscles and makes for a very sharp pronunciation. also lifts the mood because one sounds funny af.
Lovely shots, lighting and composition - but the static steam coming from the cup of tea took me right out of it. Try using Turbulent Displace on your static images to give them some movement.
Hello, the second one was for the focus puller, it was him choice to use own focus system with quite expensive and cool transmitter. The Hollyland I used for my self and my wife, as an additional and portable playback.
I’m curious how you would light and design a small home studio with basic UA-cam set up. I know you don’t do those kind of videos but I’m curious how you’d do it
Thanks again for the great content! Do you use any pro-mist filters? Or do you prefer to shoot everything clean, and add effects in Post? Did you do any Color grading on this job? Or is this straight out of camera? Thanks! Admire your work..!
I noticed you don’t use soft boxes for interior shots just a lot of bounce and diffusion. Also I would like to know what your camera settings are to get that lowlight contrast look or is that something you do in post.
Right, I don't like to use soft boxes on the interior scenes due to it is a pretty big construction. For the studio space and pavilion, It's a really useful tool for me. I used RED RAW, 400 ISO, REC 709 LUT. 25 FPS.
Love your work and content. Very inspiring. Any chance you will start producing content that isn’t so “Victorian”? I was very interested in purchasing your course, but it all seems a bit to “period-piece” for me.
I work with not only with "Victorian" style, check my other videos. "Shooting and Cinematic lighting of music video. Cinematography breakdown" - as an example.
This really goes to show how important lighting is. I just watched ‘smile’ , and thought it looked pretty low budget. I assumed they had used a cheaper camera but it turns out it was shot on an Alexa 65mm!!! The lighting on the interior night/late afternoon shots was so bland.
@@ANDBERY yes thats the one. Its budget was only 17million so fair enough corners had to be cut. But i really did hit home just how little camera matters these days.

Wow, thanks for the valuable and kind words! ❤
This dude single handedly taught me how important back lighting and "outside-in" lighting.
Pay your attention and have a control of the harsh light flow. A quite popular problem from the backlight is - hard light, which "cut" a neck of the character.
@@ANDBERY I understand what your trying to say. Don't let the background slash through the set and ruin the frame.
@@ANDBERY I didnt understand this one. What do you mean by cutting the neck?
@@NathalyPinheiroomeans too overexposed to the point you lose detail in the neck area or anywhere where’s it’s extremely overexposed for that matter
Thank you for taking the time to showcase the behind the scenes and also offering insight as to how you worked.

lighting is an art in itself

Don't think about the difficulties, just practice, your results will get better and better with time. A7c is a good camera to start with, use slog :)
Impeccable lighting! Everything was beautifully done from lighting, color, composition.. WOW!!! I don’t know how I found you but I’m sure glad I did!

Very helpful for me
I'm very interested in how you secure locations, actors, wardrobe etc.,
Great tutor
Brilliant! Always inspiring. Your lighting is so realistic and never disappoints :). Curious about what soft filter you were using on the interior shots?
Thanks :) It was a collapsible 5-in-1 reflector / diffuser for photographers
@@ANDBERY Thanks. I was actually asking about the filter in your mattebox :)
@@HeliopausePictures It was just a piece of soft diffusion material (251 LEE) on the light source.
Loved the video! Is there a timeline when the ebook with lighting diagrams will be released? Thank you!
Hello, I decided to concentrate on the new videos and master classes for the course. I will make a few new materials instead of the light schemes.
@@ANDBERY That sounds even better! Looking forward to it :)

Wow, I didn't know about it, Zcam s6 does really have this problem?
@@ANDBERY I don't think so - other zcam footage i've seen very clean - I just haven't found the right way to grade yet I don't think

It was a static because of a time has stopped in the scene :)
Hello, thanks for the video! May i know why do you have 2 hollyland transmitters mounted on the camera? haha

I prefer to use clean picture, and if it’s necessary - to add additional effects in Davinci/ Dehancer.
Do you have all the links of what you use to light? Greetings
Beautiful video! Do you use LUTS for color grading?
Thank you! I used Dehancer plugin for film look imitation.

I’d love to appreciate everything this video has to offer, but I cannot understand a damn thing because of the soundtrack being overly loud.
supr
the godox 600w is not water proof like Aputure. and the price is not that far. so i wouldnt recommended the godox
Got mine for $999
I think you mean scheme, not schemes. Or if not, it should be these schemes, not this.
Beautiful cinematography is meaningless without a good story and good acting. I am not impressed.
Too much blabla.
Horrible.
