Can I say something? This is probably the best lighting short bible online. For no beginners like me, it is also a great refresh with some nice extra tips! THANKS!
I was going to make a lighting tutorial for fun and to pass on what I've learnt over the years but then I found this one and thought "there's no point now!"! This is extremely well made, superbly explained and fun to watch. Well done, 10/10.😀
I have one thing to say about the motivated light. Yes, usually is better to make a shot where you show why a light is being used, but it's not always like it. A perfect example is the hateful eight, almost none of the indoor shots has justified light, but you don't even notice it because it's done incredibly well. So, always know the rules but then break them to create something unique and beautiful
This was one of the most informative and well narrated "How-to" videos I have ever come across on RUclips. This gentleman really practices what he preaches. If I didn't already have an Associte's degree in filmmaking and halfway done with getting my Bachelor's, I would definitely purchase his course(s). Well done!
I just stumbled on this while searching for photoshop lighting techniques, and now you've made me interested in filmmaking. This was super interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for the video!
This is fantastic. I learned more about lighting in these 18 minutes than in all of the studies I’ve done so far. Thanks guys, I’m making a student film next week and will be using all of these tips.
I'm looking at going in to lighting as a career and I have to say that just with using the first tip of shooting shadow side my render shot off the screen and was instantly much more interesting. It's fascinating how that one tip made such a difference. Thanks!!
Oh oh oh. This was so freaking valuable. I'm definitely going to enroll in the course. So far everything you've shown is blowing my mind. I'm having huge aha moments watching this.
This is one of the best free class anyone who is just starting their filmmaking really need. Giving the best free content can only make you the best.. Good job
AMAZING VIDEO!!!! Just 6 mins in and I've learnt actual practical steps and explanations for better lighting after years of hearing and using airey concepts and steps that just never fully made sense. Thank you and keep up the great work.
I’ve been trying to understand lighting for years but it was never really explained sufficiently. This video was so informative and easy to understand, great work!
By far the BEST lighting tutorial video I've even watched. Straight to the point and very well structured. Can be used for quick reference as well. Thank you so much!
I just shot a short film as the DOP and well basically no budget and I am a beginner filmmaker. Lighting gave me the hibbi jibbies. But this video just gave me so much confidence that even with my cheap lights I will be able to nail images going forward. Thank you for this ❤❤
Nice video, great explanation of principles and examples of applications! If I may be critical there are 2 things bothering me quite a bit about the example at the end. 1) the simulated light on the back of the person is brighter than the fireplace itself and that's even without considering the inverse square law of light. 2) as soon as you cast ambient light into a scene through a window then that's overwhelmingly brighter than a fireplace light source. In the end the result looks interesting because of many things going on, I guess because you'd like to bring it all together, but as you mention during your video that some lighting choices can make things look unnatural, then I'd tend to say that this final example is quite unbalanced and unnatural to be honest.
I agree %100. I was wondering if anyone was gonna mention this in the comments. Well worded as well. On another note the video is great and informative
For me the example went from a really nice focus on the musician in a very nice dark moody setting, to a very bright room with to much happening. I see what they did and like the tips, but for me the mood went in a wrong direction. I really liked just seing the silhouette of the musician
I just made my first musical film which is basically 3 mnts long. And yeah I can definitely say i shouldve given more thoughts to lighting. Just because of lighting alone many scenes of mine are blown out completely.
That seems silly to me. Lighting is filmmaking sound and music you can get from stock. I don’t disagree audios important but it’s as important as good lighting.
@@ChristopherWrightSorabad lighting makes a bad movie, bad sound makes an unwatchable movie. Even if you use stock music you need to carefully edit that in
I don't get that excited about videos like this that often, I watch a lot of stuff like this from filmmakers, but this video was just FAR superior to any lighting vidoe I've seen before. THANK YOU!
That lighting example of the cello player towards the end of the video brought everything together! Show don't just tell! An excellent tutorial... thank you!
Seriously I’m dropping out off film school next term because I learn so much more online this class taught me more than my whole lighting class did in 18 min
OMG. Step 1! I actually got expensive lights, diffusers, the works; but couldn't figure out why my shoots still looked like "videos". I was going out of my way to align with the key light! Never occurred to me to try the opposite. Thanks SO much 🙏
Wow, this was extremely tremendously well made and helpful - I appreciate all the effort you put into this. It helped me make better sense of the subject of lighting. Well done.
Lighting at 15:41 was awesome. Instead of using a lamp/fireplace, I could imagine it being like a spotlight moment, i.e an intentional use of the "play/stage" look
This is insanely informative. I would love to enroll to your film course but it is still pricey for a student like me. Thank you for these free tutotials. ❤️ from Philippines🇵🇭
Step #9. Use soft lightning, especially on a closeups to create a pleasing rap into a shadow. Step #10. Use negative fill to cut all unnecessary light / bring more shadows. Cut lightning sometimes is more important than bring light. Step #11. Control the output! Light must not been too dim or (especially!) TOO SOURCY, cause it's feel unnatural. Step #12. Colour temperature and character of motivated light must be same as source of motivated light. Step #13. Everything must look natural. If it's not, change your lightning. Do not bring any unnecessary light, try to use bounce over a new one source. Use as many light as necessary for scene, and no more. Step #14. Please do not create big hot spots in practicals/windows/reflections, where information completely lost. Avoid any clipping. This looks cheap. Control levels of all lights. Led all the scene leaning on a brightest part of the image that you cannot control. In most of case it must be just below the clip area.
Thanks for the tips ! I personally felt that there was too much lighting in the last scene... and that shifted the focus of the scene elsewhere...i think adding too much lighting to a scene for the sake of an aesthetic appearance sometimes builds tensions in the scene.
Great video! As someone who spent a lot of time on sets it's really nice to see someone pack these info in 1 video, especially I like that you mentioned the fog...this is really an overlooked thing. You don't often see this. Keep it up!
This is probably the best cinematic cheat sheet I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever heard shooting shadowside recommended before but it totally works and makes a big difference!
Lighting is one of my biggest difficulties, I never know how to place them properly or how to make sunlight good, but this video was excellent and will help me a lot.
I don't think that motivating the light is so important nowadays as it used to be in the past. Making things look good is more important than making the light look realistic, but I'd say it comes down to personal preference and overall style of the production. All in all this is one good video. Subscribed.
Possible solution: Blue gel in front of the outside light and a little less output to simulate moon light. That justifies the lamp and also the fire place imo
Some things that stood out to me. Would it make more sense for the key light and the lamp be more similar in color temp. I think having this 5000k+ key light with a ~3000k lamp feels just a bit too different. Also, isn't faking sunlight really difficult, as sun light always produces parallel shadows but lamps wont.
Also I’m sorry but the fog is so distracting. It looks like there is a fire in that house. If lighting needs to be motivated than certainly fog needs to be as well. I agree with the video that fog looks good in certain situations but it can’t be used for everything.
I just started learning about videography.. as a hobbyist and really like your explanation of things by comparing them with real life examples like movies 😍👏👏
Esse conteúdo valeu mais que muitos cursos pagos por que encontramos pela internet! Parabéns, pois você entregou apenas um vídeo, mas sim um joia preciosa! 💎 Um grande abraço do seu seguidor aqui do Brazil 🇧🇷
Great video! Learned a lot actually, it def reinforced certain rules I need to remember. The only thing I’ll say I somewhat disagree on is shooting with complimentary colors. Roger Deakin’s said he was taught in film school to use complimentary colors - but he finds that advice is well overused and makes your footage looks “common”. This is why he uses very odd color combos, like in blade runner; then he finds a way to have practical lights influence those colorful decisions. Now there’s depth and uniqueness!
I just finished up on a well-known TV series, and literally 100% of the interior scenes (and many exterior) employ "atmosphere" (and many scenes are on a spaceship, where there is no fog or smoke). Use a light touch when applying it and it will give a cinematic look without looking like fog or smoke that you have to justify. Just my 2¢.
...a.m.a.z.i.n.g - it really jogged off my memory of whatever little photographic lighting info left lurking around in my mind - it literally gave me back the catchlights in my eyes
Hey man, I got the bug fogger and have used two different types of fog juice. My haze/fog pales in comparison to what you have in the video. Any suggestions on the brand of liquid?
12:58 this actually does happen in real life. When someone dies, they (hopefully) stop blinking to replenish the moist coating over the surface of the eye. So especially in the strong wind at the top of the Empire State Building, the moist surface will evaporate quickly, leaving the dry eye less reflective. You can also see eyes loose their reflections more completely when open underwater, because there's no surface edge of the wetness on the eye. It's all merged into a continuous volume of water. Watch Vesper's underwater death scene in Casino Royale. I felt it really added to the lifeless look in her eyes. Unfamiliar and haunting. Conversely, eyes sparkle more when an actor is teary-eyed. Could be enhanced with more little eye lights below camera.
That was an amazingly inspirational video! I love being creative in many things (I'm primarily a musician) and I want to start making more professional quality videos for my music as well as short films & animation. I want to buy your course when I am in a position to do so! This video was truly fantastic and helped my understanding so much! Thank you :)
Hell yeah! I'm at exactly the same place.. In the last few years especially I've been much more humble and studious in my approach. I never feel I shouldn't go back to the basics and look at what practice I could use, but having a wide knowledge and base of understanding with practice makes these videos and courses give me so much creative inspiration, in what rules to use for scenes and, rules to break on purpose. The same with musical theory and different styles of animation. Good luck on your journey into creating your own world!

I have this sudden need for some lamps too

Finally I watched a usefulness youtube video about my struggling own film making. Thank you man .
Its premium content on youtube ..Good Job
The best lighting video I've ever seen. a lot of knowledge in a very short time.
I'm amazed by the before and after shots...
Who needs school if you get amazing tutorials from Filmmakers of Tomorrow ❤️❤️.
This short video is worth $800!!!
Thank you for this presentation 🙏
This is the most comprehensive, shortest, best and easiest tutorial on lighting. Thank you!
I love how clear and detailed each step was. Along with clear cut visuals. I can honestly say I understand now.
Hands down this is the best video I have ever watched about cinematic lighting!!
This is one of the best tutorials so far, Its pleasent to listen to not too long but cover everything you need to know!
Nice video, great explanation of principles and examples of applications! If I may be critical there are 2 things bothering me quite a bit about the example at the end.

I agree %100. I was wondering if anyone was gonna mention this in the comments. Well worded as well. On another note the video is great and informative
I wasn’t a fan of the window light either it felt a bit overwhelming imo
Same here, additionally, the motivated light and the key light were different temperatures!
Also the obvious square light on the right side of the cello
For me the example went from a really nice focus on the musician in a very nice dark moody setting, to a very bright room with to much happening. I see what they did and like the tips, but for me the mood went in a wrong direction. I really liked just seing the silhouette of the musician
The model at 11:49 is stunning. Wow. Oh, the rest of the video was great too! I learned a lot, thank you.
Honestly the most overlooked department is sounds and music, definitely not the lighting dept.
Agreed. Seems of the major elements in amateur films, it would be Sound > Production Design > Lighting > Camera from most to least overlooked.
I just made my first musical film which is basically 3 mnts long.
And yeah I can definitely say i shouldve given more thoughts to lighting. Just because of lighting alone many scenes of mine are blown out completely.
That seems silly to me. Lighting is filmmaking sound and music you can get from stock. I don’t disagree audios important but it’s as important as good lighting.
If you can make a photograph cinematic through just lighting, then lighting is most definitely massively important

Across all my fixations and hobbies- this is the most live most in depth, most helpful video I’ve literally ever seen.
This is ridiculously good. This could help end bad looking shorts and interviews. So clearly explained too.
That lighting example of the cello player towards the end of the video brought everything together! Show don't just tell! An excellent tutorial... thank you!

Wow thank you, I'm Mabiala from Angola in Africa and I'm just getting into video shooting and this was the best lesson I have ever had in lighting.
This is a channel I watch while I'm eating ❤️
Me too😅❤️
Re-lighting that last scene was the most perfect round-up.
Step #9. Use soft lightning, especially on a closeups to create a pleasing rap into a shadow.
Step #10. Use negative fill to cut all unnecessary light / bring more shadows. Cut lightning sometimes is more important than bring light.
Step #11. Control the output! Light must not been too dim or (especially!) TOO SOURCY, cause it's feel unnatural.

How was it?
Don't be a sheep man, pf...
Lighting is one of my biggest difficulties, I never know how to place them properly or how to make sunlight good, but this video was excellent and will help me a lot.
"Cheap affordable lights that everyone can buy"
Each light costs like a million dollars*
Wow. This is like a university course in film lighting condensed into an 18 minute video. Subscribed.
I don't think that motivating the light is so important nowadays as it used to be in the past. Making things look good is more important than making the light look realistic, but I'd say it comes down to personal preference and overall style of the production. All in all this is one good video. Subscribed.
This is one of the best most informative videos on RUclips. Thanks for posting. This is the quality content we need online.
from Morocco🇲🇦 I tell you thank you🙏🏻
That Liam Neison scene was insane. I did not notice that!
17:30 but it looks really silly having a lamp on when the sun is shining so bright it's rays coming still through the closed blinds
Yeah I feel like now that there is that light from the back the lamp can be removed
Possible solution: Blue gel in front of the outside light and a little less output to simulate moon light. That justifies the lamp and also the fire place imo
It looks like a fucking nuclear bomb went off outside! lol
Some things that stood out to me. Would it make more sense for the key light and the lamp be more similar in color temp. I think having this 5000k+ key light with a ~3000k lamp feels just a bit too different. Also, isn't faking sunlight really difficult, as sun light always produces parallel shadows but lamps wont.

It’s insane how much free knowledge is at the tips of our fingers now days, and for the effort that went into this vid ya got a new sub / like
Thank you! But regarding that last step, I as a viewer would be questioning where that smoke and fog is coming from, especially indoors.
I just finished up on a well-known TV series, and literally 100% of the interior scenes (and many exterior) employ "atmosphere" (and many scenes are on a spaceship, where there is no fog or smoke). Use a light touch when applying it and it will give a cinematic look without looking like fog or smoke that you have to justify. Just my 2¢.

Hey man,
I got the bug fogger and have used two different types of fog juice. My haze/fog pales in comparison to what you have in the video.
Any suggestions on the brand of liquid?
Did some testing.
Use mineral oil.
Produces 6x's as much smoke as the liquid fog used with fog machines.
This is absolutely insane. I'm speechless, thank you so much! 😭
Thanks man... u deserves 1m Subs all the from🇸🇴
I'm speechless. How much there is of detail i never paid attention to.
12:58 this actually does happen in real life.
When someone dies, they (hopefully) stop blinking to replenish the moist coating over the surface of the eye. So especially in the strong wind at the top of the Empire State Building, the moist surface will evaporate quickly, leaving the dry eye less reflective.
You can also see eyes loose their reflections more completely when open underwater, because there's no surface edge of the wetness on the eye. It's all merged into a continuous volume of water.
Watch Vesper's underwater death scene in Casino Royale. I felt it really added to the lifeless look in her eyes. Unfamiliar and haunting.
Conversely, eyes sparkle more when an actor is teary-eyed.
Could be enhanced with more little eye lights below camera.
This has to be the best video lighting tutorial on youtube. Thanks
7:14 his face was lit from the key side!!
edit: i’m learning things:)
wow ...im so in awe by how easy this is to understand. 10/10 this is inspiring me so much to delve more into photography
At 9:13 the camera is shot from the same side as the light. Challenge complete =P
The hottest tip in this whole video was using the bug fogger excellent!
That was an amazingly inspirational video! I love being creative in many things (I'm primarily a musician) and I want to start making more professional quality videos for my music as well as short films & animation.
I want to buy your course when I am in a position to do so!
This video was truly fantastic and helped my understanding so much!
Thank you :)
Hell yeah! I'm at exactly the same place.. In the last few years especially I've been much more humble and studious in my approach. I never feel I shouldn't go back to the basics and look at what practice I could use, but having a wide knowledge and base of understanding with practice makes these videos and courses give me so much creative inspiration, in what rules to use for scenes and, rules to break on purpose. The same with musical theory and different styles of animation. Good luck on your journey into creating your own world!
dude...this is the best lighting video that i've seen
7:32 camera angle was from light side but as per rule no 1 it should be from shadow side 😂
I still Cant believe....all these content is Free❤️
1) shoot shadow side
2) lighting direction
*45
*rembrant
3) motication
4) Background
5) Depth
6) Time of Day
*golden hour
7) Catch/Eye Light
8) Texture
*fog & haze
Wow. What a fantastic resource - thanks so much for putting this together!
