Alongside the launch of the Light Storm 600x Pro, we invited guest cinematographers Alissa Rooney and Valentina Vee to light, shoot and breakdown a dramatic scene showcasing warm and cool color temperatures. Using a variety of techniques likes bouncing light through a swimming pool, pushing hard light through a lattice, and creating a fire effect with Sidus Link, Alissa describes the process from start to finish. All-in-all, here are some crucial tips for shooting with different color temperatures and using warm and cool light to compliment one another.

I can never get enough of these lighting breakdowns. Lighting is one of the most important aspects of filmmaking. So, to see how DP's work out how they light various scenes teaches us how to approach our own lighting scenarios. Keep these breakdowns coming. They are priceless.
This is great. For people who are just getting into lighting, there are things, many or few, that they can learn. I’ve been watching bts’s of feature films since the 80’s and I’ve always loved it. But getting a bit deeper into setups and the “why’s” of those setups is definitely why I enjoy videos like these. Please keep it up.
Thanks, Vee!
Love this type of video. Would love to see more of these scene breakdowns!
Beautiful scene, so many layers! Especially love the pool reflection
Thank you so much!
Notification gang here. So keen for this one.
Hey Guys, I'm a Congolese film maker and I love your content. Our film industry is literally virgin and my team and I wanna birth that change in this industry. I love your video and tips! Keep sharing your greatness.
Kiku Experience.
Suuuuuper invaluable long form format! Really helps dig deeper into breakdowns. Thank you so much!
Next level. Super job Alissa & team 👌🏻
This was so cool to watch! I love love love all the creativity involved in lighting!!!
This is probably some of the most juicy lighting I've seen on an Aputure breakdown. Great work!
Glad you liked it!
@@aputurelighting as a beginner that wants this type of lighting, what light do you recommend?
Looks fantastic! Great job guys
I loved the way the actress was lit with the contrasted cool/warm. I think it worked better on her close-up than os his.
You should do another video about how to light black skin!
Great video
I love this format of the lighting breakdown! This interview and breakdown is a very similar format to the Indy Mogul channel
Loving the deeper delve this longer video gives 👍
yess, more of these please!
Lighting for different skin tones, perfect!
Loved this more detailed explanation & discussion on how the scene was lit. Thank You V
I could watch these ALL DAY
Thanks for this, always very interesting!
Learned SO much. Everything looked amazing🏆🏆🏆 Thank you‼

Glad to hear!
I loveeee this new content so much!
Y'all rock, and I really liked the format.
Thank you, please, please, please keep these coming! These are amazing.
You've got it!
That was perfect !
Loved that saturated looks 🔥
Loved this. The explanation and drawings helped a lot
Glad it was helpful!
More of this please!
Love these videos! Thank you so much! I think a video about terminology and lingos on set would be great. What you call tools that you use. It is different all over the world, but communication is key and if you want to communicate with the crew in a very clear and understanding way you need to know the language on set. Once again thank you. This is my lighting master class now.
The lighting is just beautiful! One day I hope to be that good at lighting. Go Alissa!
You can do it!
Love these videos
Amazing love this stuff
Inspirational post... you earned my subscription!
Thanks for this kind of content... 🔥🔥🔥
🔥
Thanks very much Aputure team....
Thanks to you!
i enjoyed watching
Great video, super informative & interactive. Would like more of these types of videos & solutions also maybe with the Amaran line for those of us who have a few of those products as well?
Great video!
This also got me thinking I should stop focusing on wanting to do everything from shooting to cinematography etc and focus on my writing and the stories i have in mind because there are people that are just better and more experienced that I could hire to help me tell me stories.
At least now I know enough of the language and have some experience to know how to talk to these experts and know what to ask for.
That's really the goal here for me, not living in scarcity and thinking nobody would help me if I don't learn it all by myself. Nonsense. When I write good stories and find a way to get a budget, I can seduce/hire a lot of these people to help my vision and do good work.
On Point Lighting. The dolly in to reveal the fire place is flawless. I like the director's choice to see the ripples of the pool and your team really made the effect work. I watched a video on the Aputure 600x Pro and the Light Dome 150 paired and it looked huge, but naturally it's footprint is minuscule in a space as large as what you'll had to work with.
Now this is how it's done! Amazing. Did they have boom mics for the audio or was it done in post?
Boom and lav!
Great video. I'm curious to know why did the nova @9:40 has a net in front? Why not just lower the intensity on the source? Is there a difference between the two? Thanks
Tell me it’s a AD600 commercial without telling its a AD600 commercial 😂
Great learning video. I just wanted to know what was there on those actors’ face. Was that a transparent mask just no to ruin the make up?
Do y’all create these shoots specifically to show off the lighting breakdown. Or are these pre planned shoots that aputure is allowed to hop on and help show the breakdown?
I was literally thinking about how the setup reminded me of Linus Sandgren's work in La La Land and No Time To Die and then she immediately mentioned La La Land lol
When are y’all shipping out the 150’s? I ordered that soft box months ago
Can you ask Indy Mogul to start their series?
What T stop? And did you utilize a Pro Mist at all??
Why was there a scrim in front of the nova?🤔
Nice breakdown! What are some storyboarding and scene development software or processes that are used to create these scenes?
Trying to find a more effective way.
We mainly use Diagram Master within Sidus Link, it's a great program to breakdown lighting setups and comes with key perks like seeing how much electricity will be needed for your setup czcams.com/video/B7kL0JPb1sM/video.html
@@aputurelighting thank you so much! I’ll check it out.
This was a great breakdown! Might be my favorite yet! On the mention of sheers... we're shooting a space that needs sheers but doesnt have any rods to throw them on. How would you guys tackle that without drilling into the wall? Currently looking into commands strips with a curtain rod
Definitely the right idea, just make sure to carefully remove the command strips. If it works with the space, consider tension curtain rods (with caution to the walls). In a pinch, you can try to paper tape the sheers directly above the windows, just make sure it isn't gaff tape that will peel off paint!
@@aputurelighting thank you!
D.W. Griffith is coined for the Phrase Lights, Camera, Action because he was rushing to get a shot done and also the carbon used for the lamps had a short life span so they would be turned on only when it was time.
I like the breakdown series but showing us with details is better
I love this kind of videos, is the kind of breakdown we the new DPs need
I'm very insecure about lighting..will keep watching for tips
The only way to learn is to do! Keep watching and be confident - you'll do great things.
Wouldn't have been easier to just put the eggcrate on the Nova 300 to control the spill and direction of light instead of using 3-4 cutters?
Blue film
like how many cameras did you use in this shoot???
Single camera setup!
@@aputurelighting i love it
It doesn’t look natural IMO. It looks too “lit.” I wonder how much power it would take to do this looking more natural. I love the light reflecting off the pool water though. That was a beautiful touch.
True . But it's something that I love. Every frame lit like a photograph. In recent times, South Indian movies are going for this kind of look.
And yes, everyone has their own liking.
It would take more diffusion. But it's also the colors used. Extreme color separation often looks "lit". It's often easier to achieve a more natural look by moving the colors a bit closer together.
@@prayforpeace2204 I know it requires more diffusion, which means you need more lights and power. Exactly why I asked, "I wonder how much it would cost?"
Natural light isa not soft.. Because your house lampu dosent have very soft diffuser
@@meltysundae4540 unless it's a bare bulb, lamps are typically soft. And you do realize light bounces off walls and ceilings which softens light right? That's why overly directional light rarely looks natural. Why do you think in cinema they use those huge 12x12 (often even larger) diffusion panels?
you did not mention the white balance you kept throughout the scene on camera?
seems to be 4300k as the camera monitor shows in one frame.
@@oleberek do you know why? Im always confused with white balance
@@tabeabussmann They have chosen 4300k in order to have the practicals (lamp approx 2700k and fire approx 2000k) appearing warm in camera and the "moonlight" from the 600D outside set to 6500k (and additionally gelled even further) to appear blue. Basically setting the white balance in the middle gives you the best of two worlds in this case.
All correct here!
"Lights, camera, action" today is actual than in past because LEDs eats a batteries very fast.
In true the moon light is not so blue
ச
I honestly miss the more natural looking lighting. Everyone using blue and orange makes everything seen cookie cutter Michael bay ripoff . That and everything is dark to look more "cinematic". I mean the quality looks good it's just the same thing over and over
That compression is so bad! Maybe uploading 4k could help?
this was some of the worst acting ive ever seen.
Good thing it's a lighting channel
Why not upload at 4k or at least upscale to 4k? The compression for 1080p uploads on CZcams is just horrible.
why are people wearing masks lol
Why do you still wear masks?
That guy is a terrible actor, lol.
