As someone who does a lot of similar product shots to this, the one thing I would add and would say could be improved upon is in the final shot of the whole can the La Croix logo gets kind of lost in the highlights and shadows. Clients are usually pretty big about the logo and product itself being immediately visible/readable. But that's just in my experience, otherwise this looks amazing and I really appreciate the helpful breakdown!
I would love to see how you would light for a cosmetics commercial. Especially stuff like lipstick, perfumes, soaps, that kind of stuff. Absolutely love this series!
Given the popularity of tabletop RPGs, I think a commercial for a new book or game line would be cool. Savage Worlds, Alien, Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu, Star Trek Adventures, Vampire, Dungeons & Dragons... the books tend to be beautiful tips on getting around reflections in the glossy covers would be a good tip.
love watching fake commercials, love watching VV do her damn thing, do not love La Croix (it tastes like TV static looks) but I appreciate the effort and information put into this :D
I would like to see a "commercial trucking" commercial... showcasing Freightliner, Internationals, Ken Worth or Peter Built trucks. Water splashing from underneath truck tires going through puddles, drivers riding up hills or along the Cali coast or in the mountains with a nice voiceover actor telling the story. I think that would be a great commercial. The trucking industry is what helps keep the world moving.
Hi Valentina! After seeing this video and few others I ordered 2 x 300D MII... lantern, fresnel, reflector etc. I already own 2 120D. After a while I finally realized that shooting products (especially with high framerates). I also use a Laowa Probe that is a great but "blind" lens! Need plenty of light. So my answer is 400DMII ! Valentina if you want I may ship you a couple of our in-ears as samples!
I would love to see a high-end fast food commercial - closeups of burgers on the grill, movement of ingredients coming together and several meals stacked next to each other, think Arby’s or Wendy’s
I'd love you to do more fashion product commercials where precision of colors, feel and texture is needed to be communicated to the buyers visually. Thank you.
Such a cool lesson! I would like to see a commercial for skater shoes, like Vans or something like that. How would you shoot that? Either that or a commercial for a laptop or tech stuff in general ;)
I would love to see your take on lighting a commercial that requires a lot of day for night set ups, like a home security commercial or a flashlight commercial.
I think a phone commercial would be an interesting subject, how to showcase both the specs of the phone as well as the design? Thanks for the sweet vid! 🔥
Personally I would like to see a budget version of maybe a knife or some food related product commercial, so you can show us how that even with less equipment something amazing can come out anyway. Just to inspire filmmakers who are just starting out, like myself
Let’s see a car commercial next. I want to see how well the newer, more powerful units will hold up in a white cyc setting and on a mobile car rig setup.
I’d love to see a sports clothing advert. Whether it’s shoes, or sports equipment, or weights or earphones etc- maybe something outside as well using hard light? That’d be sweet!
Maybe a cake (food) Some clothes gonna be very interesting, shoot models and clothes, like jackets or why not shoes and bag Love your tutorial especially with your low budget tutorials
Maybe sometimes done cliche, but watch commercials often have so much going on. Glamour, action, maybe even some narrative. I think exploring lighting for the product while also creating a mood would be challenging and informative
Hi A-Team! Some sort of smores commercial would be tricky but would love to see how you guys would approach this. I am so interested in trying to create quality product commercials at home and how you need to get around not having all the gear.
I'd love to see a commercial for services, like a law firm or insurance. Something where you don't have a product to anchor it. Often this type of commercial is complete crap and it would be great to see some ideas on how to light it in more compelling ways.
On Sony a7iii, Sii or fx3 you won’t loose a lot of light with 120fps :) you loosing a lot of light with macro probe lens but you won’t say when is paid ;)
How would you guys shoot a commercial that promotes an Indie artist? We all make showreels and keep posting new stuff on our profiles every day, won't it be a cool idea where one could make a commercial to promote themselves! It's a bit of a loud thinking I guess :-P, but who better to turn a creative idea into reality than you guys.
What kind of commercial do you want to see us do? Comment below for a chance to win an Aputure M9!
beer, pizza, something FLAT and reflective like a monitor or phone
Want to see a car commercial 🙂
You could do a perfume commercial, both the product and the little narrative feature, like the ones from Kenzo and Chanel.
You should Perfumes ad
sports :)

This video was very helpful. Thank you. Commercials are a very interesting topic.

I would love to see something similar to this but with food instead or a cosmetic commercial! Love the lights!
That very valuable tip. Thanks a lot aputure and Valentina.
Awesome! This was really well done.🍹👍
Great video! I would like to see you do a commercial for a rideable like a Super73 ebike, onewheel, or Segway
Oh that would be really fun. Segways are so cool!
Just what I need! What about a budget version setup for a drink commercial ?
That would totally save my day!

I just love the way you present!
Take a random/boring object: a paper cup, a key, a stapler etc. and make it look snazzy! Thank you all for the awesome content!
Ohhh that's a cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
love watching fake commercials, love watching VV do her damn thing, do not love La Croix (it tastes like TV static looks) but I appreciate the effort and information put into this :D
Haha the good thing is you don't have to drink the La Croix!
@@aputurelighting true true, I'm a Fresca man truth be told
This is very helpful information. I wish I could learn this stuff a long time ago back I was in film school.

Yeah that's a cool idea! Talking about texture what clients want would be a cool video
This was super helpful. Need to get my hands on some Aputure lights How would you shoot/light makeup commercial?
Great video, would love to see one on a commercial or retail location. A sort of “come to our business” ad.
This was amazingly helpful. Thank you 🙏
Such a cool lesson! I would like to see a commercial for skater shoes, like Vans or something like that. How would you shoot that? Either that or a commercial for a laptop or tech stuff in general ;)
Hey Valentina I have to say your hair looks amazing. Great tutorial too.
I would love to see your take on lighting a commercial that requires a lot of day for night set ups, like a home security commercial or a flashlight commercial.
great as always! I'd live to see lighting a commercial which uses a green screen
Macro probe lens. Sweet! Like to see a commercial produced that would promote your own UA-cam channel. 👍

Sports/Athletic apparel. Trying to light fast moving objects and direction changes has been difficult for me. I'd love to learn more myself.
Great video V! I would love to see an Apple Watch commercial!
That does sound really cool! Thanks for the suggestion
i'd love to see a breakdown to the last Pourche Taycan commercial
Quality content 👍👍👏👏
How can you achieve (through lighting and lensing) a commercial that's shot on digital but looks like it was shot on film?
I'd love to see a commercial for services, like a law firm or insurance. Something where you don't have a product to anchor it. Often this type of commercial is complete crap and it would be great to see some ideas on how to light it in more compelling ways.
Can we get a tutorial on how to shoot cinematic car commecials??
I wanna see more low budget comparisson with the t3i :c
Yes! We'll be doing more low budget camera comparison in the future!
hi! Can you show us how to do a parfum comercial? (I'm very excited to learn that :) )

The furniture industry is really big where I'm at. I would be interested to see how you would light furniture in a product video.
Awesome!✌️
I would like to see a tutorial on silver piece of jewellery with a lot of reflection :) please!
I would y’all to do some sort of Nike or sports inspired Commercial but have the shoe be the main focus & show how to light it
A "car" commercial using only scale models; make it look full-size without any post-production compositing!
Haha I like the scale model idea! Might fit a little better in our studio
A (soccer) Sports commercial would be awesome or a Brand commercial like Vans
I would like to see a commercial on cologne/perfume since I will be filming one of these soon myself! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Haha we would be happy to help!

A commercial with miniatures would be really cool!
Id like to see you light an animal product commercial. Can't be easy to deal with living creatures.

On Sony a7iii, Sii or fx3 you won’t loose a lot of light with 120fps :) you loosing a lot of light with macro probe lens but you won’t say when is paid ;)
Have you ever done a How To with Low Budget equipment? Or with a fixed budget.
You should Shoot a watch commercial.

How do we light Easter candy before we eat it all?
Do a commercial for glasses?
Thank you so much covering this. Can you please make a video on lighting a furniture product. @aputure
How do we hire you for services?
Do a sneaker commercial
A commercial for a pizza house or maybe some restaurant.
That would be great because then we'd have to eat the pizza!
