As discussed in the last part of this video, lighting changed the way I view the world. Has it for you? Do you stop and snap a quick iPhone shot when the light is falling nice on a particular object on the street? Let me know!🙌🏼
Helpful instruction, thank you! I was wondering what was your white balance on the camera? It seems like the image is very orange overall. Was the key light the only light that was set to daylight and everything else was around 3,200k?
Omg this is the video I've been looking for. Someone who explains the practical steps to lighting and provides visual imagery. I've watched tons and tons of videos and everyone says 45 degrees but relative to your set-up 45 might not work and no one has been able to explain an alternative except for you. Thank you so much and keep at it.
So awesome. I love how you turn off all the sources and then bring them back up one by one. Great way to show it all happening, especially with the accompanying floor plan imagery. Please keep these going. I'm sure your subscribers will continue to grow. excellent content.
As I learn more about lighting, it interests me greatly, especially since color is a part of that, really adding to how a context/mood can be set with color and light intensity. Great video.
This video is soooo good! I love how you SHOW Frank moving the light. It lets you know "where" to place your key light, to get the desired look you're after... vs just "roughly 45 degrees." LOL Great Content. 👍
I think one of the more fun things about filming, especially a studio type set like this for a personal UA-cam channel, is playing with the lighting and depth and all of that. Its like being a kid and re-arranging your room every other weekend.
Hahahaha, it’s exactly how it went man. Some nice music over the speaker and just building and messing with light stands😂. Glad I get to feel like a kid while being 26 yo
I’m learning to shape light, mostly for OCF portraits but i also do videography. I can safely say it’s the hardest thing about what we do, and sooo expensive too if you want to have full control of it. Thanks for this easy to understand tutorial!
Wauw wat super tof! Heel fijn dat je middels de tekening laat zien hoe je setup er precies uitziet. Tijdens mijn studie is heel veel aandacht besteed aan het verhaal en de compositie, maar totaal niet aan belichting. Tussen neus en lippen door is verteld dat je goed gebruik kunt maken van een natuurlijke lichtbron... Dat je op deze manier zelfs een saaie muur interessant kan maken is eye opening! Erg duidelijk uitgelegd allemaal, ik ga je video's volgen!
Inge, thanks voor je comment! Ik ben 100% van mening dat natuurlijk licht de hoofdbron is, maar zodra je voor langere tijd een continue licht with behouden, is het 'nabootsen' van het originele 'echte' licht heel handig. zo ook dit leuke truckje met een spiegel! Eindeloos veel mogelijkheden. Thanks voor 't kijken!
I am mostly an outdoor photographer/Filmmaker, so I always have been intrigued by light in general. But recently, I became obsessed with artificial lighting, how to light a room for a cinematic look, etc. Thanks for your video, I'm watching a lot of lighting videos recently, and yours pushed me to write a comment ahah so good job
Thats great stuff mate! Lighting would be one of the main things I’d change from a budget level to a higher level because of skintone rendition and color accuracy!
Awesome universal technique video! I'm not a photographer but a self-taught 3D creator with almost no knowledge of lighting, but this helped me so much to understand the theory.
Erika! Im glad you have found your way to my video. A basic understanding of lighting can definitely benefit you in your 3D modelling! Sounds good you've taught yourself. Thanks for watching!
nice one sjoerd. What about a video where you have a space where you have to work with existing window light and you ad your own light to it without blocking the natural light out. Would you prefer to use the daylight as a rim light or as a key and use your artificial light as a rim?
@@SjoerdWess could you please showcase a dark yet cinematic lighting setup, Dark enough to not reveal the face still cinematic. Like a horror or mysterious kinda stuff.
great video! gave me some ideas, though i do wish you made it a little more details showing how you put the gaffer tape on the mirror etc and bounced the light off of it, would have been a nice addition
When you make the stripes on the back with shadows and lights! Try to move the light further away from the window so that the lines are straighter and don't have that cone effect! Greetings!
This video is to be watched several times! I see you shooting with the 6K pro and the sigma 18-35mm! I just got mine a week ago and I’m literally blown away by the quality and features! Then yesterday I got a wide angle lens (didn’t have money for the sigma, lol), I got the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 just to start. Thanks man
Great video. I like the way you break down the lighting techniques and also show what lights are actually being used. There are two other channels I follow, Andbery and Brady Bessette that use this same approach to explain how to light a scene. Love these videos keep up the good work!
i truly truly appreciate tutorials like this. i appreciate the moving of the key light around to us what happens. great stuff man! if i may make one suggestion: when you want to highlight just one item in the diagram, you should perhaps have a red circle around it - the blurring of the rest of the diagram is fine, but a few times I couldn't tell what you wanted me to look at -- maybe I'm just going blind ha!
Carlo! Thanks a lot for the feedback. I actually appreciate it when people check my videos and help me get better at what I do. Next time ill try something different to make it more visible. I do agree it was pretty hard to see, haha :-)
Great video. Light is the first and real and only thing that can arrive any image to our eyes. Please, consider to do more video on light in the future. It's a very nice argument. Thank a lot and happy new year 😊
awesome lighting man! Im trying to replicate exactly your setup. Question - which parabolic diffuser did you use to around the Goddard keylight? Happen to have the brand and model number?
Wow, This is my favorite lighting setup. It’s so… like Perfect bro lol. I want to purchase the exact Lut you used for this one, but don’t know which exact one you used.
This is great video. I'm total new in "lightning" BUT would like to start. What would you recommend me first to buy it, A. B. C, ... for good price and good quality (not pro) :). Thanks again.
Ivan! Thanks a lot! I would suggest you look into the Godox lights. Like the. SL60W. There are newer versions on the market, which makes these very cheap. Get a nice softbox (or Ikea curtain) and go and play around :-). Next week Ill release a video on creating soft light on a budget. So stick around! :-)
This is one of the best videos I've seen about lighting an interview, good job! I wonder if the godox sl60 would be similar in results as the vl150, I'm in a budget right now.
@@SjoerdWess thanks for the reply. Considering the cheaper price, I will probably go with the godox. My UA-cam setup does need an upgrade. Keep up the good work. Subscribed

Cheers for this great response. This is why I like to do what I do!
I kinda liked the lighting at 12secs 🤣
Its not bad indeed. I remember when I was editing, I kinda thought it looked good too😂
I liked it in the opening shot 😅
i've watched hundereds of videos about lighting. This is absolutely curshes all. You have huge potential just keep going
Thanks so much man. This means a LOT! For real!!
So awesome. I love how you turn off all the sources and then bring them back up one by one. Great way to show it all happening, especially with the accompanying floor plan imagery. Please keep these going. I'm sure your subscribers will continue to grow. excellent content.
Thanks mate! This detailed stuff is something I enjoy a lot myself so for sure you will see them more often on the channel!
What a great explanation. I am very new to UA-cam and I'm trying to figure out the basics. This was very helpful.
Thats cool! I wish you all the best of luck on your journey!

Cheers man!!
Proud to be an early sub. You’re about to blow up. Mark my words 👊🏽
Clean style, valuable info, well presented.
Damn dude. This means a lot, you know? Thank you SO much!
Thanks!

Thanks bro! Glad it inspired you hehe!
This video is everything I needed and only has 6 minutes. Thanks for sharing. Amazing content btw
Thanks a lot!
You are correct and I am very intrigued with creating again using lighting.
Go for it!
Small channel by the number of subscribers but BIG channel by the quality of the content. 👍
Thank you so much Joanna! Luckily the videos I make come from a deeper passion than my subscriber count, haha. Appreciate it!

hey very helpful I've been leaning more about light actually and def you did great love from west Africa
Cheers!
This is got to be the best video explaining lighting I swear
Thanks man!
Two years after and still impactful. Thanks
Thanks a lot man!
Once again great content. Precise. I am glad to see that you have been gaining some traction in the last couple of weeks! Well deserved.
Thanks a lot Thomas. It blows my mind so the the amount of people seeing my content! 😅

Thanks a lot man! Appreciate it. I have the same thing, I come from an outdoor world, so recreating the most realistic light is fascinating!
Hello, I don't usually comment, but I liked the way you breaked it down. Big up man!!
Thanks a lot man! Means a lot :-)
Great video. I've been slowly learning how to light myself better, for UA-cam videos, and your tips here were to the point.
Great to hear! Cheers man!
Thank you for the awesome tips.
Lights are super important. I just upgraded mine and it make the image look so much better!
Thats great stuff mate! Lighting would be one of the main things I’d change from a budget level to a higher level because of skintone rendition and color accuracy!
Dude! This is some high production quality! Just a video away from blowing up! Best of luck and thanks for this content!
Let's hope so man. But for now, I am more than happy with the massive results of this video. Thanks for your comment!
LOVE what you did with the mirror and gaff tape in the 2nd setup. Brilliant. Simple and very effective
Thank you! Cheers!
What do you call the effect that you made with a gaffer tape and a mirror?
Really nice work! Love the gaffer tape idea. I would use a gobo, but I love that you figured out a way to use a mirror that is so incredibly flexible!
Thanks so much man! A gobo is way easier, but a lot more expensive hehe
I think... that you're my favorite filmaker, that i can watch in youtube. Thank you for this amazing content.
Thanks a lot man! That does mean a lot!!

Thanks a lot!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on lighting.
Thanks mate!
Yes excellent points! The same look can be achieved with cheaper lights too
Thanks dude! And yes. Definitely.
How has this video not blown up this is amazing
Thanks mate!
very nice and well explained. I did help me with my light setting as I am a beginner. Thanks a lot men.
Great to hear! Good luck on your journey!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you very much Mr. Wess for your thorough straight to the point animated drawling.
Big ups Mr. Wess👍

@@SjoerdWess top! Ik kijk ernaar uit ;-)
love the warm glow of all your set ups. would really love to imitate this soon. what temperature range do you set them to?
Usually 3200k! Thanks dude!
I loved the opening short lighting❤
Thanks dude!
@@SjoerdWess could you please showcase a dark yet cinematic lighting setup, Dark enough to not reveal the face still cinematic. Like a horror or mysterious kinda stuff.
Loved this! Thanks for posting ur diagrams and for giving us a tour of your process.
Thanks man. Appreciate it!
Great tutorial, would love to learn more about that mirror technique!
Thanks man! Glad it was helpful!
Interessant Sjoerd.
Haaaaaa ik was al benieuwd wanneer je zou commenten😏😏
@@SjoerdWess had het vandaag niet door dat je het geplaatst had. Zat een beetje weg te dutten op de bank hahahaha

Great value!!!! Many thanks for this video. Very pleasant background. Very pleasant YOU.
So nice of you!
Just glad I'm here before this channel blows, another great video man👍
This makes me smile dude, haha. Thanks!
I like the mirror and duck tape idea. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
great video! gave me some ideas, though i do wish you made it a little more details showing how you put the gaffer tape on the mirror etc and bounced the light off of it, would have been a nice addition
Thanks for the idea! I will include things like these next time🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@SjoerdWess maybe you can make a video separately about those little things like that 😊
thank u so much! that was really helpful and educational, kind of magical to watch!
Thanks a lot man!
Thank you
You're welcome
Very helpful video, bro! Gratitude!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When you make the stripes on the back with shadows and lights! Try to move the light further away from the window so that the lines are straighter and don't have that cone effect! Greetings!
Mate I was in a flat :-p. This was already the max I could do on the balcony haha
@@SjoerdWess Ah oko I understand I understand! sorry haha
Thank you Sjoerd. just getting started with lighting and find this video very helpful

Quality bro!
Thanks mate!
awesome lighting man! Im trying to replicate exactly your setup. Question - which parabolic diffuser did you use to around the Goddard keylight? Happen to have the brand and model number?
I believe this was the cheapest quick setup 90cm para softbox from amazon. But the Aputure lightdome ii is a good choice. Fair price and good quality!
nice video. only thing missing is a solid catch light (or two) in the eyes, would really help you shine and make the whole shot come alive.
I totally agree man. It's for a bit more of an in-depth video. I rather, when shooting a bigger project, like to use more lights anyway!
GREAT VIDEO, especially for me, that I’m a rookie on this and planning to do my podcast also on video. Thanks!!!!
Cheer mate! Glad it was helpful
Very helpful, thank you for the in-depth explanation
Thanks a lot🙏
i came here from Facebook because i really liked the "flat manipulated" photo
Cheers mate! Glad you went and watched the video!
Lovely use of light. Cheers
Thanks so much man!
Very cool! I appreciate the effort you put into this video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching my friend :-)
Wow, This is my favorite lighting setup. It’s so… like Perfect bro lol. I want to purchase the exact Lut you used for this one, but don’t know which exact one you used.
On my store.sjoerdwess.com site, check BMD GEN5 lut
Thank you, this video was very insightful.

Great setup and super helpful tips! Thank you!

Man i wish i could send u this light set up i did. But thanks for this bro
Thanks dude!
Great video man! Such a simple setup but looks soooo good. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Thanks mate! Kind of the message I wanted to bring across. Sometimes a setting relies more on creativity than lights. 3 lights, it’s all it was :-)

how did you get your godox to work with your c stand? a converter of some kind? or a boom arm? i'm trying to sort it out myself
Its called a spigot. Has screw ends on both sides!
