This is good... Very clear and proof is the pudding!
I really love how you broke down such a complicated topic in a way that was easy to digest. Your intro led me with curiosity and your trust in your c-stands blew my mind in your daylight recreation scenes. Thank you for creating this content. First piece I see from you and an instant subscribe
This is a HIGH VALUE tutorial... complex concepts explained simply and logically - THIS is the kind of tutorial that helps all of us who aspire to become better filmmakers. Thank you so much! With Love from Atlanta.
You’ve literally answered so many of my questions about light all in one video - subbed instantly!
Instant sub. As someone else said, I watch a lot of filmmaking tutorials every day. This one shocked me with the amount of usable information, the clarity of presentation and...how to say this...the way this felt like vitally important fundamental information which is not generally shared. Yes, that's it. Thank you so much! A lot to think about and a lot to try out!
As someone just starting to delve into learning cinematography, I see I have a lot to learn. Aperature, Lighting, Sound design/sfx, Resolution/Frame-size, upload compression, color grading, camera angles, hardware learning, software learning, efficiency and intuition, organizing/planning, on and on. If I take baby steps and learn 1 thing at a time, I’m sure I’ll get to where I want to be!
I had already heard about the law of the inverse square with respect to light but the way you explained it made me understand the practical consequences it has while recording and producing. Thank you very much! It will help me a lot now that I will record my final career short film.
This was one of the most informative videos on lighting I've ever watched. Thank you.
Love your channel! Its filled with great practical information and production quality. I've always equated darkness with a blank canvas and your lights the paint. Your wonderful examples really illustrate that idea.

Thanks! That’s exactly how approach lighting mentally. Start with nothing (or very little) and build from there. Thanks for the support!
Awesome lighting tutorial! Thanks for testing our 350B COB LIGHT!!!
This is the kind of content I've been looking for as it relates to Film lighting, very informative and I appreciate the breakdowns and comparison shots. Thanks!!
One of the most informative videos out there that I have seen. Really changed a lot of what I was doing, gonna go out and test/implement these techniques. Liked and subbed thank you
Loving the content! I'd love to see videos about creating specific looks. So basically, okay this is the look I'm trying to create, and these are the things I consider when planning and setting that up. An opportunity to show why you'd prefer doing a over b in x or y situation. Could be recreating the look from something else or just a concept you come up with. It's just really helpful to be taken along in that whole thought proces of deciding what to go with to get that result you want.
Thank you so much for this, I've learned so much from this video! Please keep making these!
That's one of the best videos about light that i've ever seen! Thanks for that
One of the best lighting videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks man!
One of the best tuts I've seen on KZread on lighting. Subbed!
Good stuff! Happy to find content on lighting that goes beyond the YT norm.
Also wanted to say, the shot of the girl at the table playing cards, I 100% thought that was natural sunlight. And when you changed to the "noon" setting it was equally natural, even though I knew what you had done. A perfect demonstration that you know what you're talking about!!
the two shot at night explanation is SUPER helpful . thanks Jimmy two shoes
That was an eye opener for me. Well done! Many thanks
Love your videos and your creative duo! Thanks for sharing and caring ❤
Beautifully crafted. thanks for the video!
Love the way you explain this. more please!
I love this. Thank you
Nah this has been BY FAR THE BEST tutorials ive seen for videos. I cant thank you enough bro. I just bought a sony a7iii with a sony sigma 24-70 lens Im excited to use it after learning all these techniques. Subscribed.

Thanks man! The 24-70 is such an incredible lens! So versatile :)
One of the best, most concise film lighting videos I've seen... and Ive seen many 😂😂😅 well done!
Great stuff, especially those two apps and that Small Rig light!
Wow I loved this so much and it’s so helpful! Thank you!!
Another great piece! As for topics I'd like your input on, there are two. 1) Color Temp but also including camera settings. For example, if I want a sunset interior scene and set my CT to 2XXX Kelvin, what CT should I set on my camera? What CT should I create for my key. A few scenarios like that when mimicking various time of day would be great. The second would be light ratios and the most common ratios including key, fill, and background. Just my thoughts. you're a gem mate. Thanks for the content

Thanks for the input man! I will definitely cover those topics in future videos. I was actually thinking about whether a video about lighting ratios with a good old light meter would be interesting hahaha! Thanks for the input and the support!
You covered the topic so amazingly.... Learned quite new
There should be more videos about cinematography like this out there 🙏
Brilliantly explained. Great video!

You showed up in the recommended after I just watched a video on Cinematography and Composition in recent films at the Cinema. In less than 10 minutes of enthralled & enraptured education, I stopped the treadmill I was on and did the following: 1) Liked 2) Shared 3) Subscribed & 4) Commented* *I rarely do the 4th point

Great video
I have the 450b, its good, especially how small it packs down for travel and the relative power and the price. But I still wish I had a 1200 watt instead. The inverse square law is best affected, worked around, by bounced light, tight level grids like 20 or 30 degrees can also change light fall off on the subject significantly as well.
Thank you
Enjoyed this lesson. Any tips on eliminating your actors shadows off walls?
Thanks you a lot I suscribe
Do one about moonlight / night exteriors … also one addressing darker and lighter skin tones mixing 🙏🙏
Wonderful video, thanks! What camere did you use?
it's so sad for me to know all of this and have no acess to equipament quite like these... great video btw! i've learned more than in my cinematography classes
Quality content!! Great job! Anyway, what camera and lenses did you used on your samples? Looks great!

To get a proper diffusion there should be some distance for diffusion which we are placing in front of light . It also spreads the light by this we can avoid the light source from spotting
well done

Nice, I’m trying to understand after seeing this video and the ISO explanation from the another one, how did you get that result from the candle scene ? It look as you said, clean, no noise and to be honest I don’t thing it was only the light from the candle, can you show us how was made? Or the exposure from the camera?
Great
