It’s so wonderful to finally see a woman that looks like me in this CZcams space teaching cinematography. Thank you for all that you do ❤ I can’t wait to get me a camera
📸🎥 the amount of information packed into this vid is magnificent. You know you are doing it right when you can make something that takes a tremendous amount of effort to execute digestible for any skill range.
📽️ First of all, I 'liked' this video barely a minute in becuse I stan your content, and no regrets! Secondly, being an actor, and photographer who has become a hybrid shooter, I feel affirmed by what you said toward the end about observing films for lighting etc.. I literally don't watch films the same anymore. Lastly, thank you for the Frameset mention and overall awesome breakdown of how you got this project done. As usual, I can't wait for the next one! 🙏🏾🎉
I'm just learning how to shoot commercials and interviews for small businesses. This video has help me so much with pre production and planning. Thank you.
🎥Lighting is something I am working on getting better at in my short docs! This video is right on time! Thank you for sharing and really breaking it down, much appreciated.
Love this breakdown! 📹✨ I don’t think Aputure makes any round scrims for their fresnel attachments but that definitely would have taken down the hot spot-you could always grab a few Arri scrims for this and use an articulating arm to attach to the barn doors. With the slow push for LEDs, you don’t find round scrims on a G&E truck anymore.. unless you have a tungsten package.
Your videos have perfect timing. It crazy. It's like the 3rd or 4th time I needed inspiration or help, and then you publish a video addressing it. Next video please: how to salvage a badly prepped interview? 😅 I have footage, but it's still boring AF. I need to edit the hell out of it to make it work. 🤷🏻♂️
@@BrittneyJanae lol, gotchu i usually say "Director Respect" as an all around Salutation an customary honor to all those that makes the great set magic happen. 🎬🫡
I had a problem with the specular highlight on the forehead on an interview shoot. Everyone one wanted to roll cams but yet wanted me to fix it. What I did was flag the backlight (which was giving us the spill) with a small silk diffusion which spreaded the highlight and made it softer and less distracting. Good stuff!
@@BrittneyJanae Ahh! Got it. By the way, I watched your video on shooting BTS on movie sets. I recently did that on a movie set recently. The movie set were old St. Louis homes, church and hospital. Space was at a premium and you had a lot of producers and hanger ons.I took your advice and used a monopod, but it was still tough work.
🎥 🎥 🎥 love the sidey light look from the key and wrapping your fill around. Is there a reason/ emotion this delivers as opposed to a more traditional set up?
So I went for the sidey look because we wanted the 12x frame on the shot. Based on the inspiration photos and how I wanted to see the “BTS” look of the set. Also the goal is to step away from the traditional look of documentaries to create something fresh and exciting so I love trying new setups when I can! Also if I did a book light or anything similar it would have probably lit too much of the scene. The fill and side light gave more contrast to the scene.
📹for a photography class directional light assignment I used a work shop light with reflector that clamped onto things. 📷it seems cheaper and easier to get workshop lights from hardware store along with colorful bulbs. i have not used workshop lights with video cameras. one challenge i see in watching movies with night scenes is that I cant see whats going on. I am seeing it more nowadays than in past.
Yea workshop and cheaper lights will get things done when that’s all you have but it’s good to learn proper lighting and lights. The bigger the sets the more important the lights are.
🎥 My middle school multi-media class enjoyed this one, this morning! Great work!

What I did was flag the backlight (which was giving us the spill) with a small silk diffusion which spreaded the highlight and made it softer and less distracting. Good stuff!
Thank you! That was an option but we had to keep the light clean since it was in the shot as a prop

@@BrittneyJanae makes sense! Thanks for the response! Book light is exactly what I was thinking when I was thinking "traditional" hahaha
As a young black filmmaker, it’s just great seeing a black woman killing the game as a cinematographer. Subscribed.
Thank you!
Great looks
Wait is thee Jakob Owens or someone playing with his YT page??? 🥹🥹

Love the video!! What brand of backdrops did you use?
It’s called schmidli or something like that
Cool Video! How did you achieve the writing onto pictures for this breakdown?
A long process lol. Screen shot the image, get an iPad, edit markings while screen capturing. Airdrop to my computer
