    Last line is real film making gold, ..do what feels right, and you can come up with the logic for it.

    Bradford explains bouncing and fill techniques, and really cinematography in general, so effortlessly. These videos taught me more than I've learned the last 5 years combined.

    It's crazy how all these amazing DP:s make it look and sound so easy

    Bradford Young? I know you probably won’t see this but you’ve given this guys from Baltimore the courage to pursue his dreams and to be bold - experiment in my craft. I thank you.

    I like what he said about lighting with VFX. No, it's not natural, but neither is using a giant 12x12.

    Brad is a genius! Always has been. We had MANY spirited debates with each other while in school together lol but what stood out the most about him to me is that we had a mutual appreciation for the arts - whether music, film, etc.

    He lights for a darkened theater, in the brave tradition of Gordon Willis and Harris Savides.

    Biggest problem hound DPs and Gaffers run into is not understanding how simple setups can actually be. Getting hands on fancy new toys can really make you want to use everything.

    Awesome feature, and a DP to keep an eye out for. But, alas, Cooke Optics, it's "you're lighting it so you..." not "your"!

    @SoundOfYourDestiny Před 6 lety

    "...your lighting it so you can do whatever you want..." (3:09) Seriously Cooke? You can't spell "you're?" Nobody old enough to be posting here should be making this kind of embarrassing mistake. And to do it on a corporate channel... sad.

  • @upptynegro8473
    @upptynegro8473 Před 5 lety

    MOST these shots look the same....nice soft light on one side of the face the other side darker. add a hair light....t I bet if all of you in the comments section had access to 20 kinoflo 4x4s , several; arri 10c s and a go pro you can get shots that looks good as this.
