3 Budget FILM LOOKS with 1 Light + BMPCC6K

- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- There’s always a way to maximize the potential of 1 light on set, one method, is to create a fake sun. Here are 3 examples of using just 1 light, the SmallRig 450B, to build a moody Suspense film look.

Just magnificent, so glad to see you back talking about the art of cinematography not just the gear, but still in super detailed nerdy form as always in the best possible way. Absolutely clinically informative, just superb, cheers man!
That’s the most amazing comment I got so far. Really appreciate your kind words and support. This kind of feedback is what makes me want to do more. Thanks again Richard! I’ll be working on a second part soon. So stay tuned
Gear is just as important for some even more, some tools can motivate you to go out and create nothing wrong with that.
@@THEDPJOURNEY have you seen the big news Sony has been updating Fx3 and Fx30 (now) it’s a real cinema camera I’m so excited it’s has DCI and TRUE 24
@@THEDPJOURNEY I remember you made a video about the Fx3 talking its a pretend cinema camera, but now can you make a video about the FX3 being a real Camera now please
I’m actually working on an episode to mention what went wrong with this update. Stay tuned
I rarely take the time to log into YT to make a comment but ..... Wow! These videos are at another level of quality. I have been watching filmmaking videos for years and the quality of these videos are just amazing! Thank you for taking so much time and effort to make these high quality videos and supporting the global filmmaking community. I can see this channel getting a million subscribers.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this awesome comment or rather kind compliment. Really happy you liked it, those words will surely push me to do more of these
_I like how he has his back, turned against the light, and his face towards the shadows, but the light is like an angel, comforting him, trying to turn him from his demonic depressions_
One of my favorite channels. Top notch across the board.
This is incredible! Thanks for this breakdown 😮👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. Just love how you break down everything, with just one light you can achieve so much.
Glad you liked it, I have more from the same shoot, gotta find time to edit them. thanks for watching
One of my favorite channels! Thank you for all you do! 💪🏼
Really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching.
You are such a talent! Love the way you show and explain the lightning set up. So Revealing! Thank you!
Much appreciated. Thanks for your support and kind words
Awesome video! Love the detailed descriptions and explanations
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you liked it.
This video is just so good! Best tutorial - if I may say so - for a loooooooong time.
The technical side is greatly supported by your diagrams and explanations but the emotional side and the ”why” is explained so well too!
Of course it would be interesting to see the post production of this kind of a shoot.
Thank you so much for this comment, I'll try to work on the post production side for sure
So inspiring! Wonderful results too!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching, kindly share if you can
I absolutely love your technique videos! Brilliant stuff!
Thank you so much for the kind words
Excellent video DPJ! Thanks so much, I'm going to try these out.
Pleasure, thanks for watching.
I come here for the education but also come for the voiceover ! This breakdown is so good and thank you for sharing. I will apply this to some projects I have coming up. Thank you 🙏🏼 for so much value.
The BTS is a thing of beauty. Thank you for showing the diagram and taking the second camera to show the positions of everything in real time. I’m really bad at this kind of plan so this makes the whole process so much more digestible.
Really happy you found it easy to digest. I’ll be following the same style in a second part that should come soon
Stunning lighting - great work and thanks for sharing!
My absolute pleasure. Thanks for watching
This is awesome! Super helpful to have such an in depth breakdown and the footage looks excellent
Thanks a lot David for the kind words and support
Awesome quality with tight constraints. One house, one light, accessible camera
Thank you. Glad you saw the potential in a small setup like this
Thank you for your top notch video! Very serious lighting demonstration and explanation - Without (good) light there would be no (good) pictures:)
very great lighting and compositing! thanks !
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching
Dude, you are an artist! Love your content!!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching
Awesome and detailed breakdown
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it
What a fantastic video! It’s the best I’ve ever watched on RUclips when it comes to lighting techniques!
Thank you so much for the awesome comment, really happy you liked it, please share. Thanks again.
@@THEDPJOURNEY Thank you for the informative videos! I do have a question though. I’m currently using the GH5 and looking to upgrade to a new full-frame camera. I’m torn between the S5iix and the FX3. Do you think the extra cost for the FX3 is worth it? What are your experiences with the camera? Also, wich lights do you recommend to illuminate a scene for a Music Video outdoors in low light? Budget for the lights are around 700-800€
Amazing breakdown!!
Thanks. Glad you liked it
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing 🙏 Really appreciate your content, top notch.
Much appreciated
Firstly, your video is the ONLY one to explain things in a very easy to receive way, and truly break down the shot. The only thing missing is the specs of the BMPCC you used. What format, what iso, aperture, Angie etc. 😊
Thank you so much for your support.
As for settings, I was mainly shooting at 1250iso. Between 1.8 and 2.8, BRAW
at 6k correct? Thank you! If you ever made a full course, it would be super helpful for so many! 😁@@THEDPJOURNEY
This looks great and your breakdown/explanation is fantastic. Cheers!
Thanks Ryan, happy you liked it
Absolutely Brilliant.. Masterclass.. thanks for sharing
Really awesome and unique tutorial. Thanks
You are such a gem! Thank you for this knowledge!!
Please make more videos like this!
Thanks Peter for you kind compliment! I already have part 2 I’m working on. Stay tuned
I missed you and your great videos, please do more on lighting 👌👌👌
Working on part 2 already
Amazing work! Hope more of this stuff is coming. Subscribed!

I love this! You’re the Roger Deakins!
That’s the best compliment ever!! Thanks
WONDERFUL TUTORIAL! BEST PACE! GREAT WORK AS WELL!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome
this is a very very good video :) love the scouting
Thank you sir. Glad you liked it
That fake sun with the shot of the subject outside oh my god that had me fooled. I actually thought it was a real sun initially and I wonder where you were placing the light, what a great idea.
Hahaha, happy you got fooled 😉
It’s a neat trick
I love the detailed breakdown.
Thanks for watching, much appreciated
Hello, thank you very much, your videos arrived in Brazil, I'm watching you here from Brazil, thank you very much, please continue I loved and learned a lot from you, please continue...
Thank you, I will. And say hi to Brazil.
Much appreciated
Top notch talent and teaching.

Thank you so much for the kind words and welcome aboard!
Well done!
Much appreciated, thanks for watching
The amount of work you put into this video is inspiring. I didn’t love the lighting on the first shot, as it felt like there were two light sources on this one. And If the sun is the light source, and it’s coming from his back (and visible), how is that going to then come in from the side window? Personally, I would have bounced is from the right and had the talent look left, making it upstage. But then it wouldn’t have gotten the perspective you were looking for. As you mentioned, compromises one must make with only one light.
The other lighting setups were absolutely spot on, and I especially loved the porch at sunset. If you show that to 100 people 99 would’ve been fooled.
Excellent work!
The reason behind the first setup is simple … the sun is not like a bulb that shines on one subject, it lights your subject in a point source way, as well as the whole sky surrounding the house with ambient light.
So If this was the real sun, positioned in that way, don’t you think the sky will be lit as well outside the window?. Or will it be pitch black outside with the sun being the only light that shines like a street lamp?
Hope to see more of your system courses
I’ll try to work on more of these, even though viewership seems to be pretty low on those ones
Wow. Thank you a lot!
My absolute pleasure
Truly excellent from the quality of the footage and the colour grade to the thorough and intelligible explanation. I am stuck with a Sony A7iii for the time being until I have money to upgrade my camera. What's your opinion on the image quality out of current Sony models such as the FX3 / FX6 when compared to the BMPCC6k? The look you are getting out of it here is exceptional.
Thank you so much for the compliments, BlackMagic colour science is my personal favourite, not just comparing to SONY, but comparing to all other mirrorless out there. But BlackMagic has a lot of quirks and other issues that those other ones don’t have though.
@@THEDPJOURNEY Every time I see Blackmagic footage in the hands of someone capable I am always blown away by the colour sciene and overall look of the image. You may have just made a convert out of me. Looks like I'll have to relearn everything from scratch and switch from Premiere Pro to Resolve when the time comes.
In your own workflow are you using a standard conversion LUT that Blackmagic provide and applying it to the RAW footage and adding your own finishing touches? Or are you colour correcting then grading from scratch every time?
Pure gold!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for watching
You are a genius, Thank you so much for great tips and tricks.
Thank you so much for the compliment and most of all Thanks for watching.
Very cool
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Very nice. THX!
Thanks for watching
Excellent video
Cheers thanks
Firstly, sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker :)
Secondly: even when I coming to the workshop, I'm not as satisfied with a content as I did here! Huge respect for such a deep breakdown with an interesting references. Especially for the script and chosing angles of camera and light 👏🙌
Thank you so much for the kind comment. Your English is perfect, I’m also not an native English speaker, which sounds obvious I guess from my accent :)
Great!
Cheers
Hi. New subscriber here - for this exact content (I respect other's comments on your prime focus of gear reviews but want to encourage you to do more of this type of content (too?)). So grateful for your thoroughness in this video - it's incredibly well shot and thorough in all the key detail. If you do more of this thorough content I'm sure you'll attract a significant previously untapped audience for your channel. I've seen a few creators talking lights and set ups before but this video is a good step above anything else I've seen (it's paid content level). I look forward to all you share in the future.
Thank you so much Ian for watching and taking the time to write these words of encouragement. It’s awesome people like you that confirm I’m doing the right thing. Just hope that everyone else would see this perspective you’re talking about.
Thanks again for your support
Yes indeed it's important as a DP to have some basic knowledge about color scheme at post. I appreciate your simple but professional approach to Cinematography. Please post a video to show how you accomplished the conversion to night scene at post.
Thanks for the kind words, will work on that Night scene for sure. Stay tuned
Kudos!
Cheers
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your contribution! Much appreciated
Great video
Really good instruction. Thanks! If you don't have a bi color light, can you just use the same trick you used to go day for night, but take a 5600k light down to 3200?
If you don’t have bi-Color you can use gels, easiest way
the best. thank you
Glad you like it!
Nice one 👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Yeah, would be nice to know how you did the night shot in post.
Thank you man for the video is very helpful! I just want to ask about the settings you have on the camera if you had a noise in the shadows and if you are using Noise Redaction?
I set the ISO at 1250 all around, and yes I did have noise, but didn't remove it
Absolutely amazing! Please make video with day to night
Thank you! Will do!
nice tip with the patio fake sun! it's just out of focus enough
Thanks John
Super helpful video! Out of curiosity, what intensity did you have the light on in the first setup? Curious as I'm looking to purchase a punchy key light and trying to figure out what wattage I'd need it to be for these sun recreation looks. Thanks!
I can’t remember exactly which setting I had, but it doesn’t matter anyway, because it all depends on the balance between the light in the environment and the light that you’re using. from my experience, this is pretty compact for what it can offer in terms of wattage
@@THEDPJOURNEY Copy that -- makes sense. Thanks.
Please do more tutorials like this❤️❤️
Will do my best. I have part 2 actually... stay tuned. Thanks for watching
Thankyou sir ❤
My absolute pleasure
too good
much appreciated
Simple and cool! For outside light, you can use 2-3kW halogen, tungsten light for 30-100$ with 100% CRI, TLC...
For sure! But you’ll blow up a fuse probably, unless you use a decent size generator, and it changes colors when you dim it.
@The DP Journey In Europe, 2 phase standard is 220V, 16A.
Amazing! Thank you for this!
It's a huge inspiration for a short I'm working on, I'm subscribing.
I would also add a black neg or something to block the street behind the light outside. To not see the cars passing :)
It "Bathrum" a reference to "Redrum"? :)
Thanks for the kind words and for the sub
Yeah wasn’t a big fan of the cars either. But didn’t mind them that much
Sorry didn’t get the last question. Can you rephrase?
@@THEDPJOURNEY In the film The Shining, there was a door with REDRUM written on it. It spells murder backwards. So I thought you wrote bathrum as an homage to that since it's spelled bathroom... But I guess not :)
Ohhh… hahaha… glad you noticed it. yeah that was like that when I saw it during scout. Initially I wanted the door to be open to get more depth, but then I decided to close it when I saw it. Good Easter egg catch
You are talented talent. God’s blessings man
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Thanks for the great video! Learned a lot. (and at 7:02 Arrival is mislabled as Annihilation haha)
Thanks for watching! I actually had another reference from Annihilation that I swapped last sec and forgot to change the caption. Good catch!!
Good video 👍👍
Thanks 🙏
This is great! Just sub’d 👍🏻
Thanks for watching and welcome aboard
Mistake - In final window scene, the left part of window is way brighter than the right side, that shoudn't because sun light not differ in such a short distance. so, you should not use blinders that's confuse viewers. Don't take my word wrong i'm just curious.
Hey Steve, sorry I didn’t fully understand what you meant by “mistake”, but I did mention again that distance was an issue in my case, I couldn’t go any further. Hope that helps clarify
Question, when adding an ND Filter does it mean that it'll need to be consistent throughout for all the other angles?
thanks for the time to explained thinks broody -
Thank you so much for watching!
I thought it's the short side because it's the shorter side of the face that's being lit and the other bigger part is the broad side. I don't think it's the amount of space because that is the framing not lighting? I could be wrong though.
It’s both, but in this instance I was only mentioning it in the framing context
After a long time , was eagerly waiting . COmment first ,watching full now
Hope you like it.
1:46 thats not halation. Halation is an effect caused by light hitting the red dye in film strips twice. What you pointed out was bloom. Halation is technically impossible on digital cameras but can be achieved in aftereffects
What output levels were you using?
For the lights you mean?
Yes.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The black levels are crashing way too much on each shot. I guess bouncing a fill or adding one more light to balance would prevent it from crashing the blacks.
That’s weird, probably it’s your monitor since they look ok for me on mine and on the waveform
👏👏👏👏👏👏 so cool 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks! Really appreciate it

"Don´t use CRIs??" My jaw fell on the floor.
CRI is a horrible way to measure color accuracy with LED technology
@@Supercon57 Unbelievable...we´ve been lied to for a while.

@@THEDPJOURNEY I always do! Your videos are the best and most techical on YT. Definitely is my school.
Much appreciated! Glad I can help
One problem, it doesn’t look like a sun, looks very much like a light setup from outside..
Thanks for the comment, but if you recall I mentioned that what I did here was the cheaper option (Light+ fresnel), since the best way is use a projector and place it much farther away. In that case, it'll look more like the sun. Hope that clarifies
more
Soon ;)
