    This is super helpful man thank you. I freelanced full time for 8 years and most of the time it was either highly stylized lighting that I would do or it would be the type of shoot where it’s run’n’gun with very minimal to no lighting on set. But recently I got a job as part of an in-house video team for a big company.
    Now that I’m working at this company, I have to do that bright, even, globally lit commercial type of look you did here. It’s basically all they want for all their shoots and it’s the type of lighting I have the least experience in. I have team members who are talented but none of us are great at lighting. We usually achieve a good lighting look but sometimes it takes way too much time to figure out.
    I’ve been on sets with talented gaffers before and I feel like with more practice we should be able to cut our time spent figuring out lighting by at least 1/2 maybe even 2/3 less time.
    Thanks again for this. I’m gonna check out the Patreon for sure

    Recommendation: wrap stabilise your footage even if you use gimbal, or glide cam, as it feels bouncy... just saying, it will help to keep those shots nicer and steady, as it is already steady but for some reason the background feels bouncy.

    Hey man. You're great for sharing all you do and clearly very talented. I know you're going for a high key look. I'm not sure it's intentional, I find the front lit scenes a little unflattering on the faces, especially the couple on the couch. I feel it would have looked a lot nicer with a bit more shape and reverse key. Whereas the yoga scene super nice with the reverse key and shape. Just wanted to share! Good job overall.

      I keep flipping back and forth between Sun Seeker and the sun tracker in Photo Pills. Photo Pills tends to be more accurate, but Sun Seeker is a little easier to screenshot/share.

    What IRE levels are you aiming for for this high-key vibe? I've been shooting around 60 IRE but it seems too bright.

    • @robchado
      @robchado  11 місяців тому

      On set I usually aim for ~60 IRE on the higher end of skin tones but it usually gets stretched up a little in post once you add contrast.
