Negative fill is one of the most important tools to have in your filmmaking tool chest. We're talking about what negative fill is, budget negative fill options, and how it can improve your shots now.

The most useful breakdown of this topic I have seen. I also appreciate how the second camera includes the complete setup in the frame (first camera, boom, floppy) so we can see exactly what is happening. The outdoor side-by-side demo is especially useful as I haven't had to do any serious outdoor shoot yet and want to learn how to exercise some control over intense natural lighting. Myself, for fill I am having to kill two birds with one stone at the moment: I just have these nice (if somewhat unwieldy) sound blankets that happen to be black on one side and white on the other, so they can do fill duties while helping me control sound.

Definitely looks alot better! Any negative fill products you recommend?
Thanks for showing this! I lately thought a lot about lighting that is as low to no budget as possible for exterior shots and honestly was sceptical that negative fill would do anything in an outdoor scenario, but it obviously does as you have greatly demonstrated. So thanks again for that! How would you see the effectiveness in a totally overcast or even foggy scenario? Would it still have an effect sinse light is so extremely diffused?
great video, altho inside the house the difference was minimal, I can definetly see how I could use one for my videos. my walls are white and bounce too much light so i might try to use a black sheet as negative fill and see how it changes my shots. an suggestion, I would wanna see different ways of using negative fill, you only seem to use from one side of the face but i've seen a photographer using 2 one on each side with a beauty light to create very hollow cheeks on the talent and have a super defined jawline

It looks good outdoors but the first shot actually is pretty contrasty/shadowy enough already without the negative fill. I don't see that much of a difference to put the negative fill at all. Saying that though, I think the first example is a great example of single source lighting!
Could you please let me know what is the background music that is being used in this video?

I like how it looks and appreciate the video as a reminder for the look. Yet, you did not mention any guiding principles when to use it and when not to do so. And ccertainly, there are situations when it woul dnot be appropriate. So, at the end I found that you explained that it is important because it looks nice, not because there is a specific reason. Maybe I missed it? Would be nice if there was a bit more detail about that. Anyway, still a great video!

I see you've got some film grain again and I tried to figure out why I can't seem to tell the difference between noise and grain anymore and why I thought the last episode was noisy, appose to grainy, then I noticed, the blacks are clipping. I think that gave me the "noisy" impression. But there's not much you can do about it because it's probably due to KZread compressing the living S**T out of it, lol!

Lol I feel that, With digital at least, you seem to see an “ugliness” to noise, and also colored artifacts when more prominent. I know KZread compresses like crazy, cause according to my waveforms when coloring, no clipping happened lol so blame KZread. None the less, thank you for keeping up with the videos!

Oh yes, and obviously I love the content on the channel! I am looking forward to the project you and Sara are working on!
