    I think this is the first lighting video that I've seen which actually makes it clear what the function of a grid is. Appreciate the breakdown!

    Very helpful. Another way in which you are keeping the light away from where you don't want it to hit in this scene has to do with placement of your key light and subject (you). You've (intentionally) placed your key light at an angle against the wall so that: 1.) The light doesn't fall completely flat against your face (especially in your B cam shot), and also so that 2.) The reach of your key light is close enough to light you properly, but far enough from the back wall so that it isn't bouncing back into the scene and creating a flat image. The honeycomb definitely helps with the control, but this is still tough to do is smaller spaces with white walls.

    Great visual illustration of turning the light with egg crate and without to the camera. Way stronger than from behind the light turning up the nob aimed at a subject for teaching purposes.

    Definitely the only lighting video I've seen that took the time to physically show us how the grids help to control the light instead of just telling us. Now I know exactly why I need them. Massively helpful! Thank you for making this.

    Man this is exactly what I'm currently looking into😂 controlling the spill. Maybe in the future can you do a budget or diy flagging lights type thingy video?

    I have followed you for some time now and like your content and have learned lots from it BUT I'm over seeing so many video titles by people I follow that are more or less derogatory and confrontational towards their audience..."you're doing it wrong", " why your videos are no good", "why your videos look bad", "you're wrong about (insert latest gear here)", "why you're not making $$$ from your videos"...it would be nice to see more positive titles but I suppose they don't lend themselves to higher view counts.

    Love this tip man, it’s so simple but seriously had a huge impact on the image!

  • @MoondustProductionFilms
    @MoondustProductionFilms Před měsícem +1

    Great video tutorial. But it would have been interesting to do it for daytime scene too. I mean for the night scene, your control of the light makes perfect sense. But how would you control your lights if that was a day scene? When you didn't control the light, it looked like a day scene actually. So with light control you get night scene and without light control you get day scene.

    i like CZcamsrs setting up lights where they live spending entire week month to plan this video and this lighting specifically, where in real life you have a location hired paid by the minute and time runs the speed of light and there's only two of you to shoot this project and the place has no black out windows XD. love the content no hate.

  • @juminy7
    @juminy7 Před měsícem

    Thanks for that! So helpful for me as a beginner. How do you know to set the right brightness of your keylight? I mean how do you see ob your FX3 if you are bright enough? Do you work with zebras?

  • @umbramann1139

    Can you also make a video on brightness levels. I know it has to be different for every scenario but maybe something that’ll help us understand the reasoning and make better choices to a well exposed image

  • @micahreimerfilms
    @micahreimerfilms Před měsícem

    Future video idea: what about a breakdown specifically focused on light streaks and background lighting? How to make a boring background look better, accent certain elements, etc.

  • @iamkevinkouassi
    @iamkevinkouassi Před měsícem +1

    How do you keep your key light out of frame? That is an issue I have. Do you use a wide lens then crop in post, or you have a specific way for this [hiding the key light & modifier]? Thanks!

    • @BradyBessette
      @BradyBessette  Před měsícem

      Good question, just having to pull it back out of frame is main solution. That’ll result in being further away from subject though and needing bigger / brighter sources

  • @doile4450

    Based on the thumbnail I thought you'd say add saturation in post haha. Good video :)

  • @harpenfluit
    @harpenfluit Před měsícem

    Loved the video! In my opinion, some of the lighting was a bit too hot (like the amaran), but that's just a matter of personal taste. :)

    • @BradyBessette
      @BradyBessette  Před měsícem +2

      Yeah so the way that the lighting hits my nail polish it bounces less and creates more contrast

  • @ChristopherYork1978
    @ChristopherYork1978 Před měsícem +2

    Context. I get it’s about getting traffic to the video but nothing “sucks” unless it’s subjectively devoid of motivation or is lacking setup.
