CINEMATIC LIGHTING SECRETS | LIGHTING NIGHT TIME SCENES
Lighting a scene with nine fixtures might sound overwhelming, but here’s how I broke it down for a recent project. From wide shots to tight frames, I’ll show you how I used skylights, tungsten Fresnels, LED fixtures, and creative diffusion to replicate moonlight and enhance the scene.
Discover how each light contributed to the shot, the role of natural haze, and how improvising with tools like China lanterns added the perfect touch. Let’s dive into the details!

HOW TO LIGHT CINEMATIC EXTERIORS: DP LIGHTING BREAK DOWN
Просмотров 7714 дней назад
Lighting midday scenes can be tricky, especially in harsh sunlight. In this video, I break down how I tackled it for a recent TV show, shooting in an alleyway with limited resources. Using a 20x20 silk for diffusion, a 1200D with a narrow reflector for edges, and natural linen sheets for texture, we shaped the light to create dynamic, cinematic frames. From wide shots to close-ups, I’ll show yo...

    Nice work! Obviously just commenting off of seeing this video and not seeing the whole scene in context: I think the shot could have benefitted from a little more fill/stronger catchlight and more interest in the background. You kinda lose his presence when you’re playing it low like that.

    The WOW factor stops when RED starts(jerking back & forth) and AF stops tracking at iso 1600. 100% agree with your 5 pros. People forgot(Nikon shooters), Canon already raided RED’s raw compression patents, years ago, in exchange for RF/EF AF support on RED bodies. RED, just like ARRI natively supports Canon’s RF/EF lenses, not Nikon, Not Sony. There’s a reason why, Canon have all kinds of raw flavors and bit rates for both stills and video, nobody comes close. For heavens sakes….LMAO, Sony can’t even do internal raw in there ML bodies as of 2024.

    Komodo colors are what make the Komodo stand out, and it doesn’t overheat during a 1-hour talking head recording. The R1 is a better choice over the R5 II due to its big battery, lack of overheating, and killer low-light capabilities thanks to the 24MP sensor.

In my testing shooting them side by side a few times the R5 ii is incredibly close on colors. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it for the first time. Also the R5 ii does not over heat in 23.98. So the interview would be fine. I also wanted the higher MP for my studio photo work. It’s been an incredible camera. Not even close to the crap we had in the original R5.

    I’d be curious about how the DJI system performs in low light conditions. Working as an AC for higher budget narratives or commercials, I often noticed on lower budget monitors, that they cut the shadows. So especially on feature film sets I experienced quite often to shot in seriously edgy light conditions on purpose, so the image I got was sometimes hard to judge weher something is in focus or not. Especially remembering the old Paralinx or bolt 500 systems. There was quite a compression going on. I noticed a big improvement since Bolt4k was released on that. Also the monitor performance for this on the Cine7 is outstanding, in my opinion. Daylight viewability I’d be also quite curious about for the DJI system. Long term reliability for sure is the next thing. How does it behave in high and low temperature environments, how in high humidity environments. But for sure that’s not something I expected you to test here ;)! For that price it’s a fair deal to just have one or two monitors and Tx as a backup. Also one thing I had in mind when I saw the test. Did you check the systems also one by one? There is much likely some interference cause from one system to the other. The distance of both transmitters was not even 50cm as both were mounted on the Komodo. Which normally is the very minimum you should have transmitters next to each other. Better further away… So I could image the performance of both systems might be better without having another transmitter sending next to it. Also for the receivers I could imagine some distance of at least one meter, the signal could benefit from. But anyways, I highly appreciate the effort you took to show the most obvious and important real world results from comparing the systems. Cheers!
