Nice work on this, I like to work with one light and the some practicals, just makes things so much simpler, plus most clients prefer a simpler set up anyway. Just subbed
Thank you so much I really appreciate that a lot! I absolutely agree! One light setups can work really well. All it takes is a little creative problem solving and planning. Which is one of the things I love most about filmmaking! Thanks again my friend, cheers!
Hey John! That's amazing I'm so glad the video could help! Thank you so much for reaching out. I truly appreciate it and it's super encouraging to see how the videos are helping fellow filmmakers make great films. Hope you're having an amazing week my friend, cheers!
Absolutely! I was thinking about that too. I probably should have titled it with “One Lighting Setup” or “Video Light”. I’ll keep that in mind for the next one. Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it!
Haha that's awesome! I've always just been a "use what you have kind of guy. I love it! Thanks for reaching out. I love hearing how fellow filmmakers are going about the process. Cheers my friend!
Hey, great question! For the lighting breakdown and final image I used the Sony FX3 with the Sony 35mm 1.8. For Behind the scenes footage I believe I was using the Sony A7IV with the Sony 24-70mm GM 2.8. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching the video my friend, cheers!
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that a lot! For sure I totally know the feeling. When I first took the leap into my professional career, one of the cameras I started with the Canon 6D. I think it came out in 2012 and shot in 1080, and I believe this version of the camera only went up to 30fps. It definitely took me a little while to achieve an image that I loved with that camera. But I was determined and eventually found creative ways to make it work. Looking back, that part of my journey was super fun learning how to make it work, and I want to encourage you that you've totally got this as well! Here are a few tips that helped me when I was using cameras like the 6D. First I adjusted my settings in the picture profile so that I can have as much information to work with in my colors, highlights and shadows. I think some of the settings I adjusted were the blacks and saturation because these can be added back in post, and this really helps when manipulating the image to look how you want without the image breaking down. I also made sure my image was well exposed and my scene was well lit. This included things like filling in the shadows that might be too dark in the shot, and avoiding windows in the shot because I knew that these highlights would be almost impossible to pull out in post with this camera. One final thing was the color grade. There is a lot that goes into this but I just tried to learn as much as I could about all things color grading over the years, I'm still trying to learn as much as I can, but it helped a lot and I've found it actually plays an important role in the end. I hope at least one of these tips can help! I actually still have the Canon 6D laying around in the office somewhere. I'm curious, if I were to make a video all about the things I just mentioned, would that be helpful? Thanks again for reaching out my friend! Cheers!
Absolutely I’m happy to help! For the main shot I used the Sony FX3 with the 35mm 1.8. For B-Roll I used the Sony A7IV with the 24-70mm GM 2.8. For my book light setup I used the Aputure 120D MKII with a bounce board, a piece of unbleached muslin fabric as diffusion, as well as a c-stand and a couple of clamps to hold up the muslin on the c-stand. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching the video. Cheers!
@@foxandcrowncreative keep doing what you're doing man. I'm currently working on a doccie. In pre-prod and I appreciate all the free information people like you choose to creatively share🙏🏾
Absolutely! That’s actually one of my main goals for the channel. To help fellow filmmakers reach their goals and make great films. So this is super encouraging for me. Thank you for taking the time to reach out. Cheers my friend!
Absolutely! I only used one studio light and a couple of practical lights. It was a bit of a challenge, only having one studio light available, but thankfully I was able utilize the practicals that were already in the room to get more of a dynamic look, and I was really happy with the results. Thanks for watching the video!
Absolutely! I like to use practical lights when only using one studio light because it adds a lot of depth to the frame. It's a cool technique I learn early on when only having access to one studio light. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely, it’s a great exercise for learning how to shape light when only having access to one video light and utilizing what you have available to you. Like the practical lights I used in this video for example. I love problem solving and love a challenge, so for me it was super fun! Thanks for watching the video, I truly appreciate it. Cheers!
I'd love to see how you lit the video where you're talking to us, as well! That'd be a really interesting lighting breakdown, too :)
Awesome thank you for reaching out! I’ll look into how I can incorporate that more into future videos. Cheers!
Bro this is gold!!!!!! this should have over a million views!!!
Wow thank you so much that really means a lot to me! Thanks for watch the video and for reaching out my friend, cheers!

But I have to say ,when you're adding practical light, you can't say it's one light
Absolutely! I was thinking about that too. I probably should have titled it with “One Lighting Setup” or “Video Light”. I’ll keep that in mind for the next one. Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it!
Great tips, thank you very much ;)

Great video Ryan, new sub🤙🤙
Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate that a lot, cheers!
I use the Styrofoam thingy that my fridge came in as a bounce, haha. I also use my mic and cymbal stands to mount lights sometimes haha.
Haha that's awesome! I've always just been a "use what you have kind of guy. I love it! Thanks for reaching out. I love hearing how fellow filmmakers are going about the process. Cheers my friend!
Why the hell do I want to pay expensive modifiers when I can just use a shower curtain and black sheet haha.
Ryan what camera / lens are you shooting this video with? Thank you

I love your setup bro. I don't know how I'm going to solve this with a canon m50.... @@foxandcrowncreative

Congrats from Brazil
Thank you my friend! Cheers!
what gear do you use exactly in this video? thanks

Nice video bro
Thank you so much!
2 minutes in: "Alright take your second and third light..."
Absolutely! I only used one studio light and a couple of practical lights. It was a bit of a challenge, only having one studio light available, but thankfully I was able utilize the practicals that were already in the room to get more of a dynamic look, and I was really happy with the results.

I saw 460 and I was looking for the " K "
Thank you so much that really means a lot! Maybe someday!
Will add subtitles soon? I am Deaf and please add subtitles from RUclips. Thx
Yes of course! Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I’ll try and have the subtitles ready to go for asap. Thanks again!
you are using tons of lights
Absolutely! I like to use practical lights when only using one studio light because it adds a lot of depth to the frame. It's a cool technique I learn early on when only having access to one studio light. Thanks for watching!
Counting more than 1 light. lol
Absolutely! Practical lights are a great way to fill the space when you only have one studio light. Thanks for watching!
Tracklay is way too loud and fighting the dialogue..👎
I appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!
"How to do a cinematic interview with one light": have a bunch of other lights, tripods, reflectors, etc
Absolutely, it’s a great exercise for learning how to shape light when only having access to one video light and utilizing what you have available to you.
