Hey! Thank you very much for doing this. I'm learning cinematography almost by watching this kind of stuff and I really appreciate your videos. They are easy to understand and pack a lot of information in short time. I wouldn't care if they were longer!! Great work!!
that go to shew you that school is good but having something under your belt and just practice is the key. since you video all i had was a office lamp and a home depot and wanted to see if i could create something with that and i was able to create something so light it does make videos look better. thanks again keep the video coming
The same techniques apply: use side-on tracking shots with foreground objects between the actors and the camera; use pans, handheld with a long lens; track towards the actors as they move towards the camera to increase the apparent speed; light using pools of light and shadow (lots of small practical sources, or if it's daylight then trees are good for breaking up the light) so the actors move in and out of them.
hey neil just came across your channel i have 2 questions are you using my camera bmcc 2.5k whick i love and the hand held camera stabilizer does that work well for steady shots when you have an weight on the back of it. i had one before i like it but i took it back because the footage was to shaky and i think its because i did nt have an weight on the back, great work you do im in cinematography school and my next class is on lighting so your videos are very helpful thank you
+chinelo betserai Glad you enjoyed the video. Most of Ren was shot on the BMPC 4K, but B and C cameras were BMCC 2.K. Those handheld stabilizers need a lot of practice to be effective, but I think yes, the more weight the better.
tell me something did you go to school for lighting for cinematography or was it a combination of both school and playing with the light because i have a some photography background with basic lighting but i always wanted to know about lighting for film and your videos are a good learning tool for me untill i take some classes thanks again
No, I didn't go to film school. I'm self-taught. I learnt a lot from shooting corporate training videos, trying out different lighting set-ups for the interviews and seeing what looked good on people's faces and what didn't.
Neil these are great behind the scenes profiles. I love DPs who make the most out of a handful of lights
Less is more!

hey neil i have a lighting question i found a good deal to buy some nice L, E, D light but is there a way to make that light soft F
You can put diffuser on them or bounce them into polyboard.
