    What I like the most about this breakdown is that theses scenes looks really cinematic but the lighting is minimum, proving that you don’t really need big setups and even we could try something like that by learning where to put the lights. Bring some more, I wanna keep learning!

    True but also the cams and lenses they use are top of the line, plus the film is graded by pros which compensates a lot imo

    The number of lights might by minimal, but I'm not sure I'd call a 12x frame with crate, pushed up against a wall, and therefore probably lit by several expensive panels, or one massive flex LED, a lightweight setup achievable by your typical indie filmmaker!

    @@zoanyway I'd say the point really is just seeing the simple concepts used here which can be recreated for any interior daylight scenes, where you don't need super complex setups. Sure, the gear might be out of reach of tiny budgets, but that can be addressed by limiting the scope of your shots (not doing enormous wide shots or long, moving master shots) and "cheating" a lot in your close-ups. Also, rental exists for a reason ;)

    Yes, these breakdowns are always helpful. I have gotten into the habit of studying available light everywhere I go, as if I had to shoot with it or recreate it. I have to get in the habit of analyzing film scenes as you have done in these videos. Finding BTS for reference helps, but it’s a good exercise even without BTS.
