Great video! I really like the format of these videos. There’s a great combination of examples, graphics and details without dragging on or going off topic. A lot of thought and effort has obviously gone into putting this together including clean audio, great visuals and great content. Keep it up! 🎥

This video rocked. I’ve been trying to understand the whole amperage and voltage thing for years, and this video helped me understand it in seconds. Thanks!

Congrats on 100K subscribers guys! You guys deserve much more! Thanks for these amazing content!

Congrats to the 100k subs. You guys deserve it!( Maybe you could make a third part on lighting: With which gear to start, what to buy after that and what a profesional set-up would look like).

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing these tips and lessons! Will save me some headaches down the road, so much appreciated!

Shutterstock Tutorials, my new favorite photography channel!

You folks do great work, keep it up. Much appreciate the advice!

Great Video. 'Very, very useful! I've never thought about using weed suppressing cloth for negative fill; I've got a roll out in my garden shed!

Great vid! Most useful thing to know about the inverse square law though is how it evens out light: the further you are away from the source the less dramatic the fall off. Therefore, if you want to light a large area evenly it’s best to use a very big light as far away as possible :)

The lighting is amazing. Now I about such a dream! 😍

hey man. this was a legit useful video. pre congrats on 100k

Thank you for these great tips. Looking forward to Part 2.

HOLY CRAP! This video is such a killer resource! Thanks Todd!

Thank you for making this! It was a huge help.

Excellent video did not know tungsten light changes colour temperature when dimmed thanks🙏🙇

Loved this info! Thanks guys

I like you guys. If you've got time, maybe consider making a video about how you guys all came together to create this channel and what your individual backgrounds were before Shutterstock. I think your audience loves the tuts but it would be cool to see a little personality as well.

Dude! West Virginia! Perfect way to remember that formula! Thanks!

Great stuff. Very nicely explained 👊

Well done! Just wanted to add something (maybe you'll "learn" it in your next video). You concluded the section about the inverse square law by saying it means "if you want your light to be brighter, just move it a little bit closer." While true, I think its most useful application is in understanding that you can control how much light is on the background relative to your subject. If your subject and the background are both far from the light, they'll be similar in brightness. If you move the light closer to the subject than the background, the subject will now be quite a bit brighter than the background. A useful tidbit when you aren't able to light your background separately from your subject, or find that you're having too much spill.

Oh man, good video thanks. I've done 50 shoots with my father and other photographers, but i'd never come across a V-Flat! What a genius device!

Thank you 🙏 these lighting tips are ace

New sub here. Congrats man.

Love the video. Great job! Please be sure that when you're using a c-stand that you obey the right-hand rule! Your narrator didn't and it actually showed why it exists when he dropped a solid (at the 4:00 minute mark). Also, if you want to be a bit more specific about single & double nets: the single reduces light by 1/2 stop (.6 on some models), the double a full stop (1.2 stops on some models). I'll definitely be using this video in my lighting seminars! Thank you!

@@shutterstocktutorials I spend a lot of my teaching time talking about right-hand rule so I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for it in videos I use. You DID loosen the handle (I'll leave the "dingus" part out...) but, if it had been right-hand rule, that might have stopped it from falling. Might have. Might not have, too. Much of what you cover in this video is what I teach (of course, I go into much greater detail). I've found that after a while, my students get tired of hearing my voice and a new voice (almost invariably saying the exact same things!!!) can reinforce their learning. Thanks for that. If you're ever in Orlando, drop by & say hello. Valencia College Film Technology Program. Started in 1988 and going strong. I graduated in the 2nd class (1989) and started teaching (part time...gotta earn a real living!) in 2001. Great job. Cheers!

@@shutterstocktutorials Thanks for your kind words. It's always a challenge. I have a very limited time to teach an incredible amount of gear, protocols, and processes. The RHR is one of the hardest things for them to truly grasp. It's not rare at all for me to get a FB message from a former student sending me a picture of a c-stand not RHR and they fixed it. It always makes me proud! A question for you (it's a question I often ask gaffers & Key Grips that I come into contact with): What would you like to see recent film school graduates that come to your set to work on lighting with you (be it electric or grip) know?

Well you got a new subber!

Electric stoves are 50Amps and electric Dryers are 30Amps. Dishwashers and washing machines run off 110, via a 20Amp circuit, (120volts). You can get an adapter cable to run power from a 30Amp dryer outlet to bates connector, then connect that to a bates 220 distro box, or convert it down to a 110 lunchbox.

You can also tell the amperage by looking at the outlet (if modern, if wired correctly to electrical code).

Illumination meter link?

From a softness perspective, there is absolute no benefit to book lighting, unless you need the exposure over a f4 at 800 and don't have space to light. A 4x4 litemat will be equally soft as a booklight going through a 4x4 diff frame, and its a lot less work.

pls make a video for beginners
