    1. When you can it is always better to light the scene than the shot. Minor adjustments for each shot ends up saving time and keeps lighting more consistent overall. 2. Don't overly stress about the lighting being 100% consistent.

      light the scene, put the key on wheels, move the key based on the direction your talent is facing / the effect you want, and your camera angle

  • @TheJ_G
    @TheJ_G Год назад +138

    The biggest “a-ha” moment for me was learning that the larger the source the softer the light, the smaller the source, the harder the light. So much can be learned from lighting just using that simple rule. It’s obviously a deeper well to dive into, but you can start there and get pretty far.

    • @harrison00xXx
      @harrison00xXx Год назад +2

      flash on the ceiling or behind you at a wall at high power is always a good idea for example

    • @gaudiangeles1509
      @gaudiangeles1509 Год назад

      Yeah, but it also depends how far or close it is to the subject. Take the sun for example, is biggest light source , but that's why it projects hard shadows, cause it's far away from the subject. But if your source of light was close, the shadows would be more blurry and would also create a soft light.

    • @TheJ_G
      @TheJ_G Год назад +2

      @@gaudiangeles1509 Light source size is of course relative to the subject being lit. A huge bright light really far away is a small bright light relative to the subject, and would create a hard light source. The principle of larger and small sources still applies and I stand by that it’s a great starting point for beginner and more advanced lighting techniques.

    • @iceman10129
      @iceman10129 Год назад +1

      I work in 3D, and lights in 3D renderers follow this same rule. So many early artists, sometimes senior artists, dont remember or know this.

    • @nikilragav
      @nikilragav Год назад +3

      and that "large" is from the perspective of the subject. The sun is HUGE, but from the perspective of the subject, it's only a few inches in diameter

    Would love to hear any thoughts you have on lighting for a lounge style podcast setup, since that has some unique constraints: multiple subjects & multiple concurrent angles, mostly not looking into camera, but still a more RUclips, presentational vibe, often a small space, but has to fit a lot of gear.

  • @kidcoma1340
    @kidcoma1340 Год назад +2

    99% of youtube lighting advice is basically just „how to make pretty medium closeup shots of static subjects, by having a big light source just out of frame.“.
    Free education is never a bad thing, but I found that this „crutch“ of using light sources like that can actually slow down your progress as a (narrative) filmmaker and build bad habits.

    • @willrushtonfilms
      @willrushtonfilms 8 месяцев назад +3

      I agree with you. I was feeling the same way. To be devils advocate, these are fundamental techniques that DO help but theyre just the very tip of the iceberg and kind of send newbies down the wrong road. Tbh most of the setups in this video screamed “RUclipsr” to me, even the “cinematic” setup. Very Sourcey lighting and not natural. Diffusion and bounce are wonderful but I rarely see fresnels, spotlights, or even barn doors mentioned in videos like these. Shit, even cheap as dirt cinefoil. You want to control your light more than just diffusing it or bouncing it a lot of the times. Now there are some great setups using bounce like cove lighting etc. But that’s multiple bounces to wrap your subjects face not just one sourced diffused. To me controlling/subtracting light is much more crucial than anything. You can have hard sources but will still look amazing if it’s controlled. Learning how to flag, block, and cut away light will be much more valuable than buying a 5x7 diffusion frame imo.

  • @_gabrielln.dop_
    @_gabrielln.dop_ 11 месяцев назад +3

    Agree with most of this except the whole "looking into the camera" vs "not looking into the camera". That has little relevance on how "cinematic" something is and if you want to have the contrast ratio looking down the barrel you just move your lights for that.

    Bounce light into ceiling or walls to get a very natural looking light. Just because the source will be so soft and will actually not be pure white, which is most of the time exactly what you want. For doc projects is probably my fav thing to do aputure f22 and bounce that to the opposite side where camera will be.

    You would use a gold reflector to match your cooler lit subject to a warmly lit background. This is a preference thing though, I myself have never used it because especially in natural lighting conditions I think the differentiation between cooler shadows and warmer highlights looks quite natural, but in some cases I can see how it would help with a particular vision.

    At about 6:45 you said that soft light has been a trend since we moved away from film when we needed bigger brighter lights so they were usually hard - um no! I shot film, negatives and transparencies, 6x6 Hasselblad, 35mm, and 4x5. I had HUGE softboxes and scrims. Sorry but digital photographers did not invent soft light. That's a really inaccurate statement.
    Reflectors - gold ones exist because they do a great job when used outdoors or if you're on a budget and need a quick rim light or hair light. Do you know what to do with a black one?

The typical office ficus tree that made it into 75% of my corporate talking heads was such a tiresome trope. Also, thanks to cellphones, the client can walk me through the shoot location virtually, and I know better what I'm up against, and can even pre-viz on cheap software like Set.A.Light 3D to show 'looks' to the client prior to shooting.

      Depends - for indoor and "professional" portrait style for sure. But on average i am super happy with just:
      - one cheap, small LED light/flooder with like 8x15cm size and 1000lm and adjustable color temp
      - a "Nitecore TUP" keychain flashlight modified with a high CRI light and diffusor as tiny/support light, both on the EOS R7 mounted either via GoPro cage or smartphone clamp.
      - internal flash on my point and shoots for basic stuff
      Sure enough often i would just need more power, but if i know it i have anyways a 7000lm Noctigon Meteor M43 "cola can" flashlight which makes everything to day.

      Sorry I don’t think you really know what you are talking about regarding gold. Do you get a kick out of disrespecting stuff you don’t like?

    shooting from the dumb side and always figuring out a way to backlight was mine. took me a while to accept that even fill and bounce can be back light. it was something i knew but on set I'd forgo

    If I am just starting out with a home RUclips / Online Class set-up? What would be your minimum light setup? With lower budget?
    Thanks!

    Hello, thank you for your wonderful videos. I am writing from Turkey and unfortunately everything is very expensive in our country. The cheapest shooting light is equal to our 1 month's working fee. That's why we need to focus on cheap and effective solutions. I need a lighting system for interview shooting of doctors in clinics. In your opinion, which 2 low-budget but effective lights should I buy for this purpose?

    My tip to my younger self would be buy the most expensive, large and powerful light before you buy all the small cheap ones and get really good at making that 1 light illuminate your whole scene. And then learn the power of negative fill for depth. Lastly, get items to be able to modify practical lights of any kind and have those always available.
    The look of your videos will change so fast with those 3 things + this lighting tutorial video above.
    Bonus would be get IR ND filters because non-IR NDs add unwanted color shift and skin tone changes to your footage🤘

    Thanks for the invaluable tips, Tyler. Think I could test out lighting effects virtually in a game engine before setting thing up physically?

    Good video. On last part where you talk about the G/M adjustments to your fluorescent lights, you left out that after adjusting people should do a proper white balance. Otherwise it will just have the greenish tint since you would adjust the 500 to match the fluorescents. Also for people starting out, they should always have handle on grip head on right side for safety. If a flag, floppy, bounce or diffuser starts to fall, it will tighten onto itself.
