As someone that has taught themselves videography, and have watched 36700 videos on lighting alone, your explanation, set up, tone, models, advice, and pretty much everything was spot on. Sidenote, currently 2020. (Editor note: actual #'s were adjusted as to keep the real #'s privacy)

Seriously, thank you, a lot! I may never work with movies and such, but not only I love learning about it, but I can imagine how much your work helps the people who can use this information. This channel is so good that a lot of times I find myself thinking how it is possible for all of you to dedicate your valuable time to teach us all these amazing things. It's mind blowing.

I like the way you can make a very detailed explanation very simple to understand

Please never stop making these

I can't miss class with such a beautiful teacher. That was helpful. Can't wait to see another video.

That little forum at the end is a perfect touch to these videos! It really makes this feel like a proper college class. I love what you guys are doing

jam packed with info - thanks!

The best comprehensive video I've seen about lighting basics. Incredible job.

This video is rich in information and fun to watch. This is how to make an instructive video!

One off the best videos on KZread thanks

Great help! Informative and concise! Compared to to the videos out there this is the most elaborate one and easy to understand. I would never know the difference between a soft light and diffused light if it wasn't for this video.

This should be a great resource for people, well done.

This is the best video about light that I have seen in youtube. Well explained 😊 great job!!! Looking forward for more 👋👋👋

Thank you for explaining the difference between soft and diffused! They seem to have become interchangeable these days, but understanding the fundamentals help!

This was a fantastic tutorial, it's hard to find good film tutorials nowadays. This one is on point.

Why is this so amazing? Why am i willing to make a video studying light right now? Sthap it.

thank you very much guys. your tutorials are very helpful to people who keen to learn technical knowledge on different film making departments. all we have to do is watch RJFS tutorials, apply them practically, and learn more techniques.

U r the best one who explains this in depth and easy way. Thank u so much

Tutorial was as beautiful as the presenter. Thank you! Subscribed!

Love the little bit of the Powaqqatsi score used during the sun segment of this.

This is the best explanation of hard vs. soft light I've ever seen. I love the examples and the narration as well as the how-to aspect. I will definitely share this with my students. Thank you!

Covers a lot of information but it's so straightforward and easy to follow. Very helpful video, going to try some of this out next time I make a video.

BEST 101 LIGHTNING in all youtube. Good work.

Super great. Keep the good work going.

Lauren, this is awesome... best free video about this subject out there.

Fantastic lesson. Looking forward to future L101 tutorials.

The US with their antiquated measurement system, but the overall video is brilliant. I learnt a lot, thank you.

I know this is an old video but I just came across it and it is amazing. I took light for theater and film and I think I learned more from this video then I did both those classes.

I'm in love with this channel.. thank you

Explained in a way that even my pea-sized brain can understand. Thank you!

Professional and simple way shows light effects. I have already studio and understanding to light effects but this video give me more ideas, great video. Thumbs up.

Awesome video one thing i have always struggled with in my videos was lighting. This video is really great in helping me understand lighting a lot more and i will be using this knowledge in my own videos so thank you!

Very nice video. Keep up the good work. It sure, would have been useful to many. Explaining the characteristics of lighting quality was very good, because they say, that, in film media Cinematography is called as Camera Choreography.

Best video on quality of light I've ever seen! Thanks!

Great video on the difference of hard (small source) and soft (big source) in the mood the shadows create

Years later, this is still great.

I love the music you guys use for these. Classic thus quirky.

i lowkey love watching Lauren................... in short "i love you Lauren"

This was very well presented, in a way that I could easily understand, and it was exactly what I needed for what I am working on today. Thank you!

Very excellent explanation thank you very much , Kindly May you replicate the same look in 6 41 minute ( black and white ) as film noir lighting tutorial. Also May you kindly explain how to light night interiors scenes in a separate tutorial

Another lighting technique that I want to know which is similar is how to create low light scenes without creating camera grain.

They covered this concept a little bit in their "direction of light" video. An important element is lighting just the bare essentials of what you want to be seen, but keeping the majority of the scene dark. Using Silhouettes or edge lighting tends to be very effective! It also usually helps to keep your ISO low, and if possible open up your lens to a lower aperture. Take a look at where the lights are coming from, and what they illuminate in some popular movies, that will help a lot!

@Donovan Simmons Expose correctly, process the darkening in grading.

very valuable and insightful, concerning the differences of shadows and how to produce them. thanks

This is helpful. Thanks!

Great video, so clear and simple to understand, well exemplified; keep making more like this 👍

LOVE this! So nicely informative! I think lighting is probably my favorite aspect of film/photography but I'm very ignorant of how to utilize it effectively. This helps heaps! :)

Hey, can you compare diferent lights quality, in terms of colour rendering. I wander what is real difference between eg: cheep work lights, regular bulb, sunlight, fluorescent, kinoflo and Arri. Can you achieve the same results wit diferent light sources, using Gels, white balance and color grading etc. or the light source and color rendering quality realy makes the difference.

Randall Martin the difference between them is the amount of photons witz different wavelength aka. Red green blue (rgb). A normal bulb is very calm and warm, so it is more yellow/redish an not strong. In light red and green is yellow. In general a light bulb has more green and red and is lower, the sunlight in the summer is more blueish and a flurouscent light has equal amounts of rgb. I think a color chart/spectograph (idk the actual name of them) of these things would help you a lot.

The only type of light capable of reproducing a hundred percent of the color spectrum is incandescent or halogen lighting. even the most expensive modern LEDs or fluorescence are typically only in the 90% range of color rendering ability. Case closed.....

Damn, short and concise! And your examples (when you're talking about different moods) helps with the visualisations as well. Oh, and the part about using different lights at home is good too, never thought of it that way.

These vids are awesome! They are SO thorough!

Very good. Thanks for simplifying the subject.

Great video. Look forward to the rest of the series.

Ellarie is so pretty!

Incredibly helpful, looking forward to more content in this series!

Amazingly informative and helpful video, thanks a bunch! :)
