Can you relate to jobs with little time and little equipment?
Really I think as long as you have a panel light with diffusion as a key light, everything else is bonus. Or using natural light as the key and that panel light as a rim light. Panel lights are the best economy option that doesn't take forever to setup
"Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out"
I appreciate Damien's professional, methodical approach to providing BTS insights without overhyping himself, peddling/shilling a new product every video, or churning out rudimentary/basic content (hoping more content-even if it's poor-will add subs to the channel).
This is one of the best film channels out there-just solid content from someone who knows what the he's doing on set.
Your work is appreciated!
PS-I love videos like this: they offer ideas on how to get the most out of less-than-ideal conditions. This is often what small crews and one-person bands deal with on every shoot.
Thanks for the kind comment! It's not easy to balance this kind of content. Especially when you try to make youtube your full time income in the future. Glad to hear I somewhat did a good job with it!
Love your high quality content. Especially Interview Like this and the Video before👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your breakdown Damien. Your content is an excellent resource for learning. Beautifully filmed
Great job as always! We have all been in this situation many times and your solutions constantly deliver a great product. Thanks Damien, always learn a lot from your videos.
Thanks for a detailed and well explained tutorial of this set up. Makes me think, it is not about the gear but rather skills of the director.
Newly discovered this page and I absolutely love your content and breakdown Damien. Keep them coming!
Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, as others have commented , your presentation is very thorough and precise in describing what is actually happening in the setup. The quality of the lighting and your choice of background and the importance of selection of the background is also noted. Thank you for your presentation and best wishes
I like that the practical motivates both the rim and the key.
I get a lot out of your videos !
spent time in Germany love the direct approach easy for my autism to understand. No fluff!!!!
Thank you for posting this video with all this information. This video was extremely insightful. In regards to creating new content, this would be more along the lines of the gear that I would be capable of bringing along. This definitely gives me hope that, I can pull this off with the limited gear I own. Keep the videos coming!!!!
Looks amazing 😊
Great job 👏 will try this setup 👍
It’s practical. Thank you.
Looks amazing
Thank you!
Sehr schönes Setting, Respekt!
Great practical 'real world' advice! Thank you. 💯🙏
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
@@damiencooper Least I could do! 😊
Nice, sehr interessant und schönes Setup!
oh, danke Dennis :)
The color correction part was very impressive.
well explained
Lovely ❤
Man, I love these videos. The most comprehensive breakdowns on UA-cam. I appreciate that you cover every aspect of the shoot, including post. Did you shoot BRAW?
Really glad you liked it as I am planning on doing mostly this kinda content in the future.
I shot prores as I'm using Final Cut
Pumped to hear that, Damien. I always get useful takeaways from your tutorials.
Stark!
Can you do a breakdown of treating the audio in post? That would be super dope!
Awsomeeeeeee
Great look! How did you not create a shadow behind her from your key light? Considering how close you were to the background… I’m curious to how you achieved this.
Since the lighting was setup from above and diffused well, it shouldn't cast a shadow on the wall. It may cast as slight shadow on the couch or floor but even then you wouldn't see it because of roll off or because of the focal length used by Mr. Cooper.
Why do you prefer the parabolic cob over the flat panels now?
do u use any cutter light for the key light or no ?
Thanks Sir 😊 Namaskar
感谢!视频非常有用!希望能看到更多作品~~

Thank you for this. Your tutorials are lit. Question, do you ever worry that the sunlight could change rapidly all of a sudden and then completely mess up your exposure mid production? I have a limited space setup starting next week with sash windows I could use sunlight from as a rimlight in the same way but some times the change in lighting temperature can change very rapidly and it's very unpredictable. The challenges of British Weather you see.
Funny that you ask. If you pay attention to my talking head setup, the sun light coming in from the left drastically changed throughout the recording of the video and the white balance changed by at least 2K Kelvin at one point. But one doesn't notice because of the b-roll in between. With interviews it's pretty much the same.
If I had to light a film or a bigger "more important" interview I would need to have full control over every aspect of the lighting. But that requires more budget. You get what you pay for and I will try to make the best out of the situation I'm in
@@damiencooper thanks so much for replying. That inspires me. I shall try it. Thank you!
What do you mean by dont go too “top heavy”? Not directly above her head?
Can you share settings on the lights
Is there a link to the finished interview?
Nice video Mr. Cooper!!
What plug-in or effect did you use on this video for the text between the chapters? It was very cool 😊
It's a mixture of two plugins. 16mm and Mfilmmatte. Link to the plugins is in the description!
Thank you very much!!!
Did you do a rec 709 color transform from the film color profile or just manually grade and eyeball it?
Manual
Why did you shoot with the blackmagic? At that time you already had the c70, right? Some words about that? 😊
oh right.. my timeline seems a bit off. This was in early 2020. So I didn't have the C70 yet. I didn't even have the C300III yet. The Blackmagic was the only camera I had at the time
Can I ask why you don't recommend the Falcon Eyes light anymore. You seemed to love it 2 years ago?
Build quality. The cable attachment broke and I read a lot of people had the same issues. It also doesn’t fold down as small as my Intellytech for example.
I would definitely prefer build quality and small footprint over water proof
Could you show on this shoot how you did your Color grading? Thanks :)
I did. It’s in the video 😅
@@damiencooper i mean a step by step :) how did u make your shape mask? What settings? Resolve or FCP?
Do you set your white balance to auto or do you set it to the same temp as your key light? I apologise if you covered this in the video and I missed it. Thank you once again for these great tutorials however
If you have the time, don't use auto white balance, is very important for non RAW videos
@@MiguelBorgesphotography ok, so what should I be using? I was thinking to set the temp to the same as the key light?
@@KhuramMalikme generaly yes
@@MiguelBorgesphotography ok, thank you. I will do exactly that.
You described two positions for your light. The Rembrand and the one from above. But you said you only used one light. Which one was it in the end?
Above
@@damiencooper Thanks. It was a really comprehensive and insightful video.
