I love your thirst for knowledge and your wiliness to share it. You are blessed with high energy and a great deal of enthusiasm. You make your "work" a joyful experience. You are blessed.
Another great modifier I love using is a china ball. Works great for a direct to camera shot, interview where you want to light 2 people with 1 light, and especially group shots where the talent is sitting in a circle. Think coffee shop conversation or poker game on a card table. I loved that idea of using the sun as the rim light with a bounce to fill the subjects face, that's one I've never done before but plan on using in the future, super smart!
super useful. i’ve used 2 and 3 lights in photography set ups but that’s unrealistically expensive for personal work so really nice to see how far you can go with 33% of the equipment to hand.
When the ARRI skypanel S60-C came out a few years ago, our production was the first to rent it out. We were working on a car commercial and we were filming the final “hero shot”. The skypanel dropped, it broke, it was bad. I’m glad I was a just an AC on that shoot 😂
Dude, that was so informative! I'm a lighting expert in CG and I learned a lot from these real life practical examples. Kudos! Your channel is leveling UP! 😎🤘
Man these videos with professionals you've been making recently (this and the microphone one with the audio engineer) are crazy helpful for an indie filmmaker. Thank you.
Bro! Thank you so much for your hard work!! Your dialogue in the videos are like social network or the steve job movie were is engaging from start to finish!! Thanks for your dedication its really amazing!!
hey, that's actually what i use. 2 desk lamps with G&E 5000k led bulbs and some toilet paper draped in front of the lamp fixture to make a very crude "soft box" haha.
this is litterly this tutorial. just to the same thing with your desktop lamp and use a "floppy" lol. If you can not affort that either, use paper as a reflector. Maybe you could even use baking paper to soften your desktop light? Now I'm just thinking out loud haha but you get the point tho it's actually possible
@@Promiscubus I took clamp on work light fixtures and put LED bulbs in them and wrapped white plastic bags around them then clamp them on microphone stands.
💡I love how clearly, simply, and practically you explain these things. I’ve got a client project coming up this weekend, and I’ll experience the with a few of these techniques!
okay okay okay... im convinced... after spending two days researching for my new youtube channel you´ve been the most entertaining/helpful.. I´ll subscribe.
Such amazing concepts to lighting... I finally understand who a gaffer is on set. Im definitely going to practice lighting techniques... once I get lights...
...Mr. Jet, may I call you Potato? That was actually a great intro to lighting. THINKING about light and LOOKING is the first step to being a pro. Even when you’ve got your equipment your main tool is still your mind. Thanks.
Proper lighting makes a HUGE difference. I improved the lighting in my videos and people thought I upgraded my camera, still using Logitech C920 but Canon M50 is on the way, can't wait! :D
Amusingly, one of the most interesting parts of this video is when you show how you can change a goofy guy flailing in front of the camera into a shot from a music video using lights and some smoke (and probably some good grading too). Thanks for the awesome video.
With the overhead lighting, if you add a reflector underneath you can get some cool catch lights on the bottom of the eye, which in my opinion is better than just dark eyes.
Can't wait for that M50 vs EOS R video. Both of those cameras look great. I want an M50. I think it'd work very well for me when I do wedding videos, and my UA-cam videos. I'm actually working on rearranging some stuff in my house to have a dedicated set. And I'll be spending more time on my videos, as I want to make them look as professional as possible. So this lighting video was very useful! Thanks, PotatoJet! :)
You know what a good one is "book lighting". Shoot that light against a white bounce board, then through some defusion to hit your target it usually produces some major defused light. Nice and "Charmin Soft" lighting haha
Right, you’ve convinced me I need an aperture 120d... just wish I had a bit more space to play with. Your lighting is always so on point, hope I manage to get there with my channel one day but every video is learning curve. Thanks for your content I love watching you have a blast making epic videos. Keep it up!
PJ, I think this is the next great up and coming video gear vlog! Excellent work, super engaging, and useful content. I'm getting a lot of great info too! Keep going! Please about sliders vs. gimbals vs. any other camera movement platform!
Great video! I’m an old timer and just getting used to inexpensive led lights. I’m lusting after a kit of the 120 COB-one thing I miss about tungsten fresnels and open face lights is the control and versatility. Let me leave you with a thought of the day. If cinematography is painting with light, the grips and electricians are the cinematographer’s paint brushes.
De-light-ful video! As always! :)
Dephi TV abahahabahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
I see what u did there 🙄👏🏼
This video is just insane. Because I know some people paid hella $$$$ to learn this at college, or on some course. THANKS SO MUCH!
This barely scratches the surface of what you can learn in film school
I love your thirst for knowledge and your wiliness to share it. You are blessed with high energy and a great deal of enthusiasm. You make your "work" a joyful experience. You are blessed.
Thanks for elucidating in a transparent way! I’ve seen several lighting videos and books on lighting but these examples were really fun and clear cut
This is by far my favorite video by Potato Jet. Thanks!!! I'm going to rewatch a bunch of times to remember all this info!!!
Excellent explanation of these techniques.
That's a ton of stuff to play with. Very well done and super condensed. Thx a mill.
I learned more in 17 minutes here than I did in 2 years of film/photo school a while ago. Thank you.
Thankyou for this! It's amazing what results you can get with just a single light !
Another great modifier I love using is a china ball. Works great for a direct to camera shot, interview where you want to light 2 people with 1 light, and especially group shots where the talent is sitting in a circle. Think coffee shop conversation or poker game on a card table.

You should do a "Hollywood Secrets revealed, starring Russel from UP"
Dude, you are the best, the way you do the tutorials with humor, they are so nice to watch... that is your differential, keep doing.
super useful. i’ve used 2 and 3 lights in photography set ups but that’s unrealistically expensive for personal work so really nice to see how far you can go with 33% of the equipment to hand.
That tip about the gaff tape on the ears is genius. 12:42. Never seen that before. Great knowledge in this video honestly. Potato Jet is Goat
Thank you SO MUCH! Literally writing every angle down in our notebook to try out in the field! Potato Jet, your content is GOLD!
It’s always an absolute pleasure watching and learning from your vids. Thank you 🙏🏽
Love your energy. I can watch your videos all day.

Loved this episode. Super helpful to understanding realistic lighting setups for different moods.
Wow the dithering on that Red is crazy. So much banding.
This was great! A lot of wisdom here. Thanks!
Really really good, helpful video. Thanks Gents.
one of the best simple lighting videos with no fuss showing examples, great video mate
Super helpful! This is exactly what I needed to learn, thanks Potato Jet! Keep being awesome
Love how you can take fairly complex subjects and make them accessible and easy. Good job!
Bro! Thank you so much for your hard work!! Your dialogue in the videos are like social network or the steve job movie were is engaging from start to finish!! Thanks for your dedication its really amazing!!
please do tutorial with desk lamp for very low budget vlogger,hahaha
THIS hahahaha
eh abe cerah

I love film nerds and this guy is one of the best on YT. I always pick up new stuff or am reminded of stuff learned many years ago.
This is amazing! Super duper helpful and will use this in the future to teach other people about lighting! Thankyou
this was super helpful and you're just the nicest and most insightful youtuber out there. you're the man
Great video Gene, I learned a lot. Your videos always put a smile on my face as I learn.
Thank you :)
Sir 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I can't believe I get to see this carefully made, invaluable content for free. Thank you one million times.
i just love your videos... there is no other better filmmaking channel on this youtube world!
Awesome stuff man! Gaffing is the most underrated part of all of this. It's also so confusing for beginners, so it's great seeing some of that!
Potato jet never ransout of energy. And the humor is on point.
Such amazing concepts to lighting... I finally understand who a gaffer is on set. Im definitely going to practice lighting techniques... once I get lights...
I really like the way you impart your knowledge and experience. Thank you very much.

I love this video so much! You guys are really playing with light and having fun!
unlike all the other youtubers you always find the amazing and very knowledgeable contents
Awesome. I love the idea of getting super creative with one light and a reflector. Dead efficient, Jet
thats honestly one of the best explanations on lighting that i ever found!
Proper lighting makes a HUGE difference. I improved the lighting in my videos and people thought I upgraded my camera, still using Logitech C920 but Canon M50 is on the way, can't wait! :D
I’ve found it so hard finding good videos on lighting. This is awesome!
Thank you so much!!!!Happy New Year and My best wishes!!!
Light is the most important for a good image, thank you for focusing on this topic.
You have become one of my fave UA-camr. Love the vibe and the abrupt ending.
10ish Cinematic Lighting Set"UP"s
Great video Potato Jet very useful for a project i'm working on, thank you for all the hard work.

You always have the best and most detailed videos. I love them! Also it’s fun hearing your experience.
this was by far the best light tutorial on youtube!
SUPER informative! Top 5 so far. Thanks!
This video is golden for information and I can't thank you both enough!
These videos should be more common. Light is the most important thing when you're shooting something. Thanks Potato!
Love seeing my boy Eric on this channel! Thank you autoplay for bringing me here!

As a total amateur this is priceless. Thanks for the great content.
Man you are getting better and better, well done, thank you for the wonderful informative video
The only potato worth listening to.

This is the basics. But fundamentals are where its at. Great vid.

This is one of the best, most informative film making videos I've ever seen. You should open up a film school that just plays these videos on loop
I haven't seen any cool video like this about lighting 😍😍
You’re videos are great. Thank you. Never stop....... ever
I like the tape on the ear tip. Never thought of it even though it is so simple.
This was really amazing! Thank you both
Even though lighting may not be a popular topic Videos like this that are fun and also informative !!! Great Job guys
It’s so great how you give so much knowledge to the film making community! Great video 🤘🏻
Thanks for enlightening us on this important subject.
Just joined your channel, dont know why I waited for so long. It is awesome! Keep it up.
DUDE this is so dope, I actually made a modifier to attach to that 7 inch dish, it lets you put gels and diffusers on with ZERO time wasted
You guys are great! I love how your content is valuable but it’s light hearted and fun to watch. Great work guys!
That was one of the most useful videos I've ever seen, good job! Thank you so much.
You light UP our whole world.
One of my favorite video from you! Loved it ❤️
Right, you’ve convinced me I need an aperture 120d... just wish I had a bit more space to play with.

Best Video in a while so much information. I really want to see some more creative light videos!!
PJ, I think this is the next great up and coming video gear vlog! Excellent work, super engaging, and useful content. I'm getting a lot of great info too! Keep going! Please about sliders vs. gimbals vs. any other camera movement platform!
this was way more interesting than what I thought it would be. So cool
3:20 he seems like the most calm and composed guy and then he actually mentions how it's important you should stay calm and composed. Makes sense
Great video! I’m an old timer and just getting used to inexpensive led lights. I’m lusting after a kit of the 120 COB-one thing I miss about tungsten fresnels and open face lights is the control and versatility.
Let me leave you with a thought of the day. If cinematography is painting with light, the grips and electricians are the cinematographer’s paint brushes.
Sooooo much fun learning lighting!
This is your best video to date. Keep up the work
Dude, you’re the funniest. Even though I love the content, I basically keep watching for your personality.
Keep up!
This was so informative and educational! Thanks guys!
