My name is Garrett. I am a full-time commercial producer, part-time film professor, and avid whiskey enthusiast living in Metro Detroit. I began on CZcams to help bridge the technical and financial gap filmmakers face by giving away the same content I talk about in my classrooms. Learn tricks of the trade, discover new gear, stay up with filmmaking trends, dive into how I pull off cinematic looks, and so much more. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I keep altering the format of these videos to try and streamline them. Do you like the faster-paced videos, or would you prefer them to be longer and more in-depth about theory?
mannnnn thank you so much im planning a night car scene, just like this, it has help me a million
Really great video! Learned a lot
great video, it helped a bunch thanks! by any chance do you have suggestions for filming on a low budget and with the subject in a moving car? is there any way to make it dramatic without all the lighting setups or rigs that would require a big crew and expensive equipment?
really good techniques, truly appreciated man!
I wonder how those panels would perform in a day scene competing with windows?
In those types of shooting situations, you’d generally lean on HMIs or high-output COB LEDs. That’s said the new Gemini 1x1 and 2x1 hard LED panels are insanely bright and could more than likely do the job.
@@garrettsammons wow that was fast man, thank You very much for the response and I really love your content!
I have 3 aputure 600d's with F10 fresnels that I mostly use to light from the outside through windows, I need something with color and at the same time bright enough for certain day scenes where lighting from windows is not possible and space is not optimal which makes the 1x1 hard very interesting not to mention playing with one a friend had and loved that light so I want to buy a dozen because the scenes You shared were perfect and I also shoot music videos and the brightness of the 1x1 in color is insane man...and I'm lazy and light like sitcoms; everything at once and in the ceiling for freedom of movement and less changes for every shot...the 2x1 is so good but 1x1 is the one for me...thank You again and can't wait for more content from You! have a good day!
Do you sell a video class on lighting setups like these how to do and placement for cinematic scenes, thanks
I don’t sell a class on lighting (yet). What would you be looking for in a course that is t provided in this series? I’d love to know what you think would make these tutorials better.
Thanks for the video. What about moving car? What would be your suggestion for that situation?
Moving cars generally use process trailers to move them so no one is actually driving. Then they mount lights onto the vehicle or trailer to get the lighting they want. It’s a wild setup!
@@garrettsammons thank you so much brother.
I's love to see the same shot but with someone in the backseat, I know the backseat can be extremely hard to light with a driver in the same shot.
if you gonna add rain sound you should be careful...do not show the windows if there is no rain. I mean I know is a way to "create de ambience" but that part really doesn't seem right
The 10 minute or less videos are great. But the more in-depth videos on theory are appreciated as well. I don't think it has to be one or the other. Both types are insightful and informative. Do you have any tips or techniques (or even theory) on lighting backgrounds? I cannot find any useful info on that subject.
Lighting backgrounds is a great topic. The ideal would be to light the environment first. Use things like windows with diffusion or mirrors for direct light etc. that’ll start building the world for your characters to live in.
@@garrettsammons Thanks for the tips!
