Love the videos! It might be nice if the before / after images were graded with more contrast to really highlight the differences.
Glad you said it. I was gonna. Ya gotta at least show both. Graded and ungraded. I kept waiting for the "after" shots. Great info though.
Dude literally I go on UA-cam after work and I always check if there’s a new vid out by you because you inspire me and your tips on lighting and the whole mental side of it all. it inspires me so much and makes me believe I can do this. just thank you man your a big inspiration
Dude, these videos are done so well. I am going to be sending these to my team to educate and refresh them every so often.
Just discovered your channel and this was a great video for an amateur like myself that's never going pro but wants to get better nonetheless. Please make more tutorials like this about everything from lighting to camera work, to set setup. I've watched several of your videos by now and it is evident you know your stuff. Subscribed.
Seriously - you have no idea how long I've been looking for someone to mention the tool that holds a scrim like yours! AN ELEPHANT EAR! Thank you so much! Great video!
Man this video is so good, I’d love to see more content like this on your channel !
I’d love to here more tips from you on how to light in a budget, or tight schedule …
It can be frustrating to watch videos with expensive gear, so thank you for reminding us that we can do great work with affordable tools ! It’s super encouraging and inspiring ! That would be such a great series 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey man! Wanted to fill in on something i noticed.
On the backlit shot, you can clearly see that the sun is hitting the lens a lot and making the shot look super flat, a mattebox with the flap tilted down would’ve solved that issue.
Also worst case if you don’t have a mattebox, you can alway use a book or something else just holding it over the lens covering the sun from hitting the it!
Cheers 🍻
Good note! Thank you
Thanks for showing us! Loving your lamp positioning in this video, very balanced. Much more cozy and intimate than the weird blue/purple back lights most UA-camrs have.
Dude great tutorial!! Can’t wait to get out and try this. Gotta build out my diffusion first though haha! Also, love the podcast I listen to it on my way to shoots and it gave me great on-set tips!
Instead of the nanlite 720, you could have used 1 or 2 plastic mirrors and reflect sunlight, they are cheap and you get the light for free
Great call, love that idea
@@carlostigs yes, very overlooked tool, with a mirror, you can add how many suns(lights) you want without the need of power, you can diffuse it, you can add a mirror to get the right angle. Only downside is that you need to adjust them during longer shoots. I have bought round mirrors and square mirrors in different sizes and superglued attachments in the back to use on light stands. As it is super hard light, you can even use tape to create textures on them, like a tree or even different colors
And when it’s cloudy… 🤓
@@f0t0b0y yes, you are right, but then you wont need the scrim either
@@johnnyweissmuller5838 Pretty muddy lighting? Come on, when do we not need catchlight?
More lighting videos, please! Recently landed on your channel and I've loved everything you've posted so far. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you!
Very encouraging. Thanks for your wisdom and experience Gian.
This is why they call it movie magic
Solid and beautiful setup!
very helpful stuff man, you're channel is going to go 📈 Keep it up :)
Love the vid! You are incredibly authentic in front of the camera.
Thanks!
Man I just found out about you through Danny's 'How to make a movie' series, and I have to say your content is outstanding. I'm keen to learn a lot from you!
Thanks!
This helped me a bunch thanks love the work and content

Awesome tips will for sure try to practice this.
Thanks man!
Thank you for sharing this!
Your videos make me want to do two things. 1) Light my images better. 2) More bicep curls.
Awesome video dude
You can play around with things, only if you know what you’re doing🙌🏾
amazing video bro
Thank you
Mans been dropping content like crazy
Trying lil
I subscribed because this is a powerful contents. I love your videos!
interesting to know what did you learn about light that can improve other skillls and what you wasent entirly sure you understand and know and you confirm when you shoot the feature film about light composition and storytelling while shooting the film
6:31 is the money shot!
Great
Look at you now, 27k!
What do you use to mount the ultrabounce?
With the Matthews right angle corner parts - I see there's only one knob to tighten but my thought would be that both tube sections would need to be tight.. Does that mean that on each corner only one of the pipe sections is fastened?
Thankyou for your great work!
You bolt the other side on semi-permanently with a large set screw, so it stays attached to the square stock while broken down. You could replace the set screw with another wingnut if you need to swap between multiple lengths of frames, but most people have different sets of corners for different frame sizes.
@@MrAndrewClaycomb Thankyou
Question, where do you buy the clamps like the one you have holding the bounce card and is there a specific name when I go to look for the bounce card at home Depot? this at the 3:45 Mark. Thanks!
The clamp is a "duck bill clamp" you can find online and you can make the bounce board from a polystyrene insulation board!
@@mitchellguynan thanks!
She’s beautiful
Where is the link to discord? can't find it in the description
Did you notice the backlit setup was rather washed out. Looks like you caught some flare on the lens. Would have loved to see that shot with all the contrast it would have had if you stopped that bloom/flaring/misting on the lens with a cutter or some gaffer tape on the front of the lens. Hope that makes sense! Love your videos man! Thanks for the effort that you put into them!🤘🏻
I did after the fact unfortunately
@@carlostigs Thanks for the honest reply and not some bullshit. Really appreciate that. Subscriber for life.
🦟 Another 🦗Carlo 😩🤝😳Banger 😈🥵🍤. Also, really been enjoying the podcast
My man thanjs
Is that LOG or the world's flattest LUT?
Hello Carlo and friend ( :
Papi
If you're doing exterior work with frames and light modifiers like that you absolutely need a proper crew.
That shit is all gonna blow over and injure people if there isn't someone on each of those stands.
07:59 why do I like natural light more? :(
7:53 Quite frankly I like the left example better.
1. The background suggests it's bright sunlight all around and so my brain expects the person to be lit accordingly. You're blocking the real sunlight but add artificial light and it shows. The whole scene looks artificial.
2. The highlights in the left picture give it more depth.
3. More vibrant colors and a better contrast in the left picture.
In general: Why are all shots so washed out?
My suggestion: If you don't want to deal with bright sunlight then shoot at a different location, like inside a building.
Great comment @Osmone Everony. I personally love the hair light on the left. I would however love to fill the face same way Carlo did but in the contrary using a black to shape and cut off the light reflection from her shoulder down. That way I'll add more contrast and depth to the overall frame.
In general it's a good video! Just differences in how we love our images to look and how it appeals to us differently.
Keep doing the great works @Gian Carlo
@@tonybrown812 Agreed. Just a general recommendation: The Studiobinder channel has amazing videos about film making. ua-cam.com/video/r2nD_knsNrc/v-deo.html
