Man, people don’t realize how hard it is to be this consistent with the quality of your videos as well as the rate at which you produce them. Kudos to you, Brady, and happy 2022, with more awesome things to come your way.
I think people are mostly aftraid of how hard it is, actually.
In my opinion, with practice, it gets easier over time.
Happy 2022, man.
Thank you so much. Truly. There are easy waves and hard waves. It doesn’t necessarily get easier over time, you develop a Rhythm, but you face new obstacles for sure. All that said, thank you.
Lol. When he says it's "simple" but you're look no that's exquisite and beautiful
I feel wrong for being late to finding your channel. I'll be binging your videos now... bye
00:01 opening with an amazing looking shot. Very good video man. These are getting better and better every time.
Amazing is an understatement at this point. Thanks a million, from South Africa.
Been watching a bunch of your lighting videos, and I’ve loved to actually not only get a good, description of different types of lighting, but also actually showing us practically how you set it up as well. These are probably some of the most helpful lighting videos I’ve seen on CZcams so far
I almost spit out my coffee laughing when you said "what we got here is a pretty darn simple setup"... 1:16 I look up at my ZV e10 and pair of elgato keylights and smh All of your videos are more epic than i think you realize tbh.
A way to make bottom lighting look good is by placing a light over a table and making it bounce of the table onto the face of the actor. You can see that in a lot of movies and gives a really beautiful unique look. Awesome video the lightings setups looked great !
The top lighting shot reminds me of the That 70s show shots in the basement
Great to know these things with my new attempt to make a film with the gh6. Amaron, tilta and the gh6. Dream combo.
Your videos are literally the only videos that ever teach me anything about lighting. Thank you so much please keep making more videos!
Bro the light set for this vision is better than most mainstream intros and interviews 💪🏽
Thank you so much for this video, i cant even thank you enough , so so good content videos
Been searching for this tutorial for awhile now! Excited to watch this
Im really love your hard work to teach a light set up.
Man is a well of information and knowledge. Bless you good sir. Have a great 2022!
Always the coolest tutorials, thanks Brady, ready for the next one.
thank you very much!! Monday!!
Always on point, Brady!
Ghost story with brady :>> 10:27
love the videos!
honestly a straight up inspiration
Top content creator for cinematic lighting technics. Keep the excellent work Brady 😍
Man simply another great content from you seriously WOW!!
You are a really light guru Brady 👏
Incredible tutorial as always. I learn so much from your channel, thank you so much for creating it.
I always end up saving your videos, dope stuff
Great video as always mate,thanks for the helpful tips
loving that soft hightlight man
Awesome man!
Representing Africa..nice one brother
great video really nice color and deep shadows
Dope content as usual… Thank you
This is the BEST LIGHTING VIDEO I've seen to date. As a filmmaker I can't wait to utilize these techniques. THANKS!!!!!
I've learned a lot from you man. You are great!
This video is simply amazing
FX6 looking 🔥
Learning sooo much! from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 thank you Brady Besette 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the tips man! super helpful!
Dear Brady, you are an amazing professional, and your content is so dope!
Thank you very mucho for take the time and share your knowledge and experience!
I hope some day travel, and collaborate with you in any project!
Those shadows are so clean! nice job with this one man
im definitely loving the fx6 footage over whatever black magic you had. this intro shot looks like a commercial
Love your Video Brady! love it. Very fun and very educated. Much appreciated for making the Video. I've been learned your White Balance Video. So helpful!
ITS VERY USEFULL... THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH...
solid work!
I love the side lighting and how you always make it seem so warm and ambient. Still trying to replicate it with little luck, but I think the light behind you shooting up at the ceiling is what I've been missing. Thanks for the tips! The aputure 120d was unavailable. What else could someone use to achieve the same effect? Anything budget friendly?
Thanks man!
Thank you man
2:55 we nearly lost Brady to that overhead 😲
Thank you so much 😊
I like this video!
Colour grading of today's video is amazing. We would be very benefited if you make a video on it. Thanks a lot bro.
I second this!
Me too!
Brady just seems like such a good humble dude and I love watching his channel. You learn a lot and also good to get a reminder of things that you may have learned in the past but you get a refresher and someone’s take on their methods. Just great stuff! 👏🏼👍🏼
My heart 🥺 you have no idea how much this means to me
i use all directions for product photography. It all depends on the product but my more general purpose I find back and side lighting the easiest to setup and use.. use the top and bottom with bounce cards at the side for full high key product
man thanks for this absolut banger of a tutorial! this is some quality shit ;) your development with the channel is very nice, keep it up
very informative thank you
Sick!🙏
Good stuff.
I did like this video Thnks man 🙏
I like this. Would u consider doing an audio setup vid? :)
I'm learning so much from these videos! Thank you so much for making them. I've been adjusting my own lighting every time I watch your content.
I noticed you're getting great footage by only setting your Aputure light (when side-lighting defusing through a softbox and sth like a shower curtain) to 16% brightness. I tried doing something similar with a Godox VL150 set to 70% brightness shooting through a shower curtain. And I got totally over-exposed footage. Still trying...
May I ask your camera settings? (ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed, frame rate, etc.) I'd be really grateful!
His shutter speed is most likely 48 or 50 (whichever your camera has) and I would guess he is using the native ISO of 800 (if this is a red Komodo that he is using but you have to look up what your own cameras native ISO is). The aputure you should chose what and how much you need to be in focus and light accordingly. Then you just need to adjust how strong you want your light to be. If you are getting overexposed footage than either turn down your lights percentage or use ND filters. To get properly exposed skin. However! You should expose your camera settings and ND for the background, example is if you see outside a window or a practical lamp is in the shoot then you should expose for that first, then use your film lights to light the subject/ face and maybe even the background if it gets to dark after exposing for a window that shows the outside.
You could try bouncing the light on a white bedsheet and if you have the power in your light, bounce it on the bedsheet and then through a shower curtain. Just keep teeing and practicing. Hope this ramble helped and made some sense :P
@@lifeoftheman Not a ramble at all! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. More than thankful. Trying it out next shoot!
Great video
Thank you!
amazing video you do a really nice job at explaining everything very simply! question! Would these two scenarios result in the same result for the overheard lighting?
1. Bouncing a light with a softbox onto the ceiling then it hits the subject
2. Bouncing a light with nothing on it then it hits the ceiling then goes through a layer of diffusion then onto your subject
It has been a little bit ever since I was active in youtube
Nice video btw
I like this video 😉
Love you chanel😘
Great your channel
good job
I like your videos so much. They are well made, good quality, educational ones and you are really natural front of the camera.
Do you use some kind of filter front of the camera(s)?
4:35 “And a sandbag down there just to make sure it doesn’t fall on my head and kill me.” I shock-laughed at this, but it’s so true
You should really open your online course about how to light a scene..you are a master at it
thanks lots of information if you can what are the best generator for outside or the cheapest to get the job done
THANKS for these infos
Pls make a timeline if you can
CZcams Videos are awesome
Another good one... I'm particularly interested in doing a kitchen table shot bouncing light off a ceiling but wondering how to control light spill onto the background. Any ideas?
Brady, Thanks for sharing man! ❤️❤️❤️🤙🏽👍🏽👍🏽
U r great and doing amazing work bro.. Your videos are so cool and you show such amazing lighting techniques which offer a lot to learn from.
Would you please also share the camera settings and light values ? Just want to try those on my camera too ..
The reason why I'm asking for is, that at 1:16, lights are already setup there, right? but the image does not look the same as one second before with different framing (a mid-shot of you). So it is not just lighting, but also the exposure settings + location of camera + angle of light in relation to the lens as well. Could you please share a bit more about that stuff, so that we are also able to get such a great picture quality as you do? Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Armaghan
Very informative video can you make video on using film rather than digital. And how to use light meter
Camera settings? And what was the white balance set to? Was it 5600k as well?
❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hey man pleae do a video to compare the moire between the fx6 and the BMPC4k. Which do you think has less? thanks.
Loving your channel! Would love to work with you!
camera settings you shoot in your videos
how do you get this awesome audio
I❤u
Hi friend, but i have a cuestion : What WB do you used in the camera?
Is there anything I can use instead of a softbox for the neewer 660 LED lights, the softbox is light £40 each?
ayyyyy first one here
What camera was this shot on?
do you use a soft filter? Tiffen
no
Nickleback Look at this photograph 🤣🤣🤣
Brazillllllll
why the side light was at 5600 K and not 3200, in order to match the warm colour of the practical lights. it was supposed to be warm yellow right? the 5600K should represent a window light as the sun comes through.no? but again it doesnt look wrong..it looks like everything is warm. it should be cold white on ur face, and yellow in the back..why is that? thanks
I'm gonna be that guy, and ask if I can work for you... Every youtuber has them and I'm honored to be yours! For real, I'd love to work for you :D
Thanks Jesus
Hey I watch all your videos and they all look amazing. Can you tell me what filter do you use ? Is it the promist ? and if yes, what do you use ? 1/2 or 1/4? thank you
Description ;)
Look at this fucking camera 😅
You're not a therapist Bruh, you just a good teacher maybe .. 42secs in only though.. lets seee ..
Mate! WTF have you got on your feet? 😂
Oh, nice video btw. Nice and informal feel, I felt like I was a guest in your home. 👍
The acting was alright, you're too self critical.
