RUclips recommended this to me and i thought why not leave a comment from my view as a Film Student. I like this kinda light setup because it is light and easy but i prefer to have more contrast in the face. Take the Bounce a few steps back and maybe a litte bit more from the side. Or try the opposite and take light away with the dark side of the bounce. A lot of this stuff isn't an exact science, do what looks good. I love the one Bounce setup for moving shots because you only need one person to hold this thing and run besides you. I think this kind of very flat and balanced light on the face would be great for talking head interviews or a very happy and positive movie. More contrast more drama. Lastly my thought on the harsh vs soft light on the face. Men tend to look better in harsher light and woman look better in softer light. This is what i was taught and what I also would agree with. If you really try to look for it most Movies and TV shows do exactly that. Men have harsher more defining light while women have a softer more flattering light even if they are standing in the exact same spot. Not always the case but I notice it sometimes.
I have searched for instructions for outdoor setups for interviews on a budget and most of the videos required expensive lighting equipment. I was a little discouraged because I already made an investment in a camera and several lenses. But I found your video and man, thank you! I wanted the best for less lighting setup to maximize my productivity and return on investment (ROI). Again, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! ✊🏾👊🏾✊🏾👊🏾
I cant get over these series of videos... He is the new Tom Antos... and WOWZA he may be the best teacher in the world... So blessed by these videos... can i invest in you? Your abilities and teaching style are going to transform the world of future creators. They already are doing it..
In the fashion world, the 'before' (perhaps with a pro mist added and exposed lower for the skin) is preferred. Backlight is the enemy of high fashion :) This is to say that each style and approach has its place.
Just stumbled across your channel - amazing tips and lighting techniques. I’m an aspiring filmmaker and I’m really trying to hone my lighting skills. I would definitely be interested in a video on how to make a diy scrim. Keep up the great videos.
Man, that was amazing. Thank you so much. I've just started filming myself for instagram reels, and I'm in Brazil, where things are really expensive... I like to film outdoors, in parks or close to forests, during the day, of course, I wanted to increase the lighting aspect of the video, but what light is cheap and can do the job? Against the sun? None. Your idea is way better than any light I could think of buying. I can't begin to tell you how much you've helped a brother out. I'm really grateful. Peace
I’ve been trying to find your channel forever! I’m learning cinematography and you’re channel helped me with my first short film. Thanks and happy to subscribe! 🍊
looks nice! but depending on the projects, may I add to say that a negative fill would have helped out a little to get a less flat subject! but still nice tips! thank you!
DIY scrim video would be great, but holy cow! I want a BTS on your light set up for this dialogue section. Gray curtains and ND film to cut the window light I assume? What did you use for the soft lighting across your face.
I have always struggled with hard shadows in the sun!! Hahaaaa!! I guess now I definitely have to hit the DIY store soon!! Not even a week watching your videos and I have learnt a tonne!! Thanks a lot for the work you're doing man!! It is much appreciated!!!!
The easiest way to pull this off is to just simply have a grip hold the bounce and walk with the talent keeping it in relatively the same place. Usually works well enough for something like the second setup with the sun at the rear.
How is this quality education free?! Amazing work, Brady. Not only are you extremely talented, but completely willing to and enthused by sharing your skills and knowledge with the world. Hats off to you, my friend.
Your video was very informative and straight forward... Also, your choice of music was calming and NOT distracting, like so many other youtube videos. Thank you!
LOL @ 0:59 - Great video! I think people get too caught up in thinking they NEED lighting in a situation like this to overpower the sun. While it may be easier in a sense, it's not on the wallet! The frames where you're simply bouncing light on the white side toward her looks so clean!
Love your channel. The way you bounced the light when the sun was behind the subject in lovingly referred to by some as the "sun sandwich". I personally like the look of it but some argue because the sun is coming from the opposite direction of the key light source, it can look unnatural. While it's more difficult to get right sometimes, if you try bouncing from the same direction of the sun you can make the sun look like it wrapping around the subject more (so if the sun is backlighting the subject on the right, you would bounce from the right as well instead of the left). That being said I still love your work and you inspire me to do better, just something to try. Keep it up!
@@BradyBessette I wish I could claim the info as my own lol. If you haven't found the wandering DP podcast already you might enjoy the breakdown episodes. He goes in-depth on big-budget lighting. But you can take the advice with a grain of salt because you do better work than I do! lol
who’s the hater that owns every light out there that disliked this video smh. great video brother, keep up the good work ,its incredible how good this looks with all natural lighting !
I ended up buying a 4'x6' scrim and frame so I can always have something for outdoor shooting. DIY was my first approach but need something more reliable.
Thanks for making this video. As someone just starting I don't have stands or scrims, I just have one of those 5 in 1 reflector/diffusor items. One of my biggest questions is how to film someone outdoors using shade to keep direct sun off without making the background look very bright and washed out. I've been waiting for cloudy days to do my outdoor filming to avoid this.
In my opinion, for the thumbnail I personally like the before photo.
5 figure debt for film school, or watch Brady's videos. You pick.
you know, I got so excited to repost this to my story that I forgot to comment it! thank you!

Officially my favorite Channel
Officially flattered. Thank you
I love how elegant you were in reminding us to hit that bell button
I try to be nice 🥺
the visual diagrams make it so easy to understand, thank you!!!
I hope so!! Thank you!
First time I watched your videos. From the first 2 seconds I realise you walk the talk.. amazing production quality.
I appreciate that! It means a lot, thank you!
I cant get over these series of videos... He is the new Tom Antos... and WOWZA he may be the best teacher in the world... So blessed by these videos... can i invest in you? Your abilities and teaching style are going to transform the world of future creators. They already are doing it..
of course you can invest!! thank you so so so much!
Rewatched this the third time and still can learn 2-3 new things.
very good demonstration with similar takes on the bounce light and the diffusion scrim panel.
"Rocks work great."
Brady 2020
Hahahah yes sir!
In the fashion world, the 'before' (perhaps with a pro mist added and exposed lower for the skin) is preferred. Backlight is the enemy of high fashion :) This is to say that each style and approach has its place.
"And there goes the bell" 😂😂 I love it!!!
HAHAH thanks!
Thank you brady for this tips, i learn how to use reflector to daylight
Thank you Daniel!
This mans lighting is just too perfect 😍😍😍
I would love to learn how to make that DIY Diffusion.
Okay!!
Me too!
@@BradyBessette agreed
He showed how
@@innout6707 That was after I made this comment.
I knew these but got to learn the angle thing here! Always learn something.... Or other
This just came up in my recommended and thank you to the RUclips algorithm.
extend the thank you from both of us!!
02:50 "You can either, 1, Dim the Sun"
Me: *Spills Coffee*
lmao so sorry for the mess
Amazing, it was a full lesson. Big up I learnt a lot and you could just offer to give us the knowledge for free. God bless the work of your hands
Ok it's time to start my short film. And many thanks to my teacher brady 🙏
YEEEES! Best of luck to you!
How am I just now finding this channel? I love it!
Better late than never!!!
i like when she is facing the sun better and of course when you use diffusion. Don't you think?
I do believe that both look nice for their own ways
Clap my hands with this vídeo! Greetings from Argentina!!
Thank you so much
I'm an Spanish native spekear and I loved the "no bueno" 😂
Thanks Brady
Thank YOU
Thank you for the tips! Loved how you lit the outside and your inside pieces!
Thank you so much :)
Class is not dismissed.
It has just started.
Definitely want to see the video on the DIY scrim.
Work in progress!!
Just stumbled across your channel - amazing tips and lighting techniques. I’m an aspiring filmmaker and I’m really trying to hone my lighting skills. I would definitely be interested in a video on how to make a diy scrim. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much! Sounds like a hot video to do! I’ve got one coming out Monday stay tuned!
Man, that was amazing. Thank you so much. I've just started filming myself for instagram reels, and I'm in Brazil, where things are really expensive...

loved this. Thanks, Brady.
Thank you!!
You're my new favorite filmmaking channel!
you are amazing! I liked the second option, looks more natural
Thank you so much
holy macaroni! ooh this is sooo good! thanks so much dude!
That is sooo easy to follow and well-structured! Thanks!
Wow! You have explained it very easy to understand! Thanks a lot for the video!
Thanks, man! Really helpful video!
Thank you for enjoying it! Suggest any other videos you’d like
what should be camera temperature for outdoor lighting? can you please make a video on it
I try for around 5600!
Thanks for this video! I'd love to learn how to make my own scrim.
Any time! Video is out!
This was a really helpful simple video. Thanks Brady.
In the thumbnail I like the before more than after
I’ve been trying to find your channel forever! I’m learning cinematography and you’re channel helped me with my first short film. Thanks and happy to subscribe! 🍊
looks nice! but depending on the projects, may I add to say that a negative fill would have helped out a little to get a less flat subject! but still nice tips! thank you!
Thank you for the CC!
Genuine effort, truly appreciate it.
Blessings!
So nice of you, very much appreciated!
If you have a car dashboard UV reflector, you can use it to reflect light. I've done it with some buildable rack poles I had lying around at home 😂
Great material and value man! Proud to be your 1k's like 👍
Thank you very much !!
Awesome info! I’d love to see the scrim build as well.
Thank you Brady!
You’re very welcome!! I’m glad you found it helpful
Thank you for the tips, it will be very helpful fr ny coming projects .. ir videos r great man 😃
Thank you so much!
Thank you Brady and by the way you are getting popular in the lighting playlist.
Really??? That’s awesome
Great but what to do if i frame a bit wider and both my subject and camera has to move
It could be helpful to have an assistant hold one overhead, this was for talking head type videos
Just what i need, anyway, is there any video about dark indoor lighting? Like in a tunnel or guess room during daylight?
DIY scrim video would be great, but holy cow! I want a BTS on your light set up for this dialogue section. Gray curtains and ND film to cut the window light I assume? What did you use for the soft lighting across your face.
have to say that color and contrast in this video is much better the the new ones (when you shoot yourself) maybe grading? or the gen 5?
it could be slowly changing and I never noticed
Had to come back to this thank you
I have always struggled with hard shadows in the sun!! Hahaaaa!! I guess now I definitely have to hit the DIY store soon!! Not even a week watching your videos and I have learnt a tonne!! Thanks a lot for the work you're doing man!! It is much appreciated!!!!
Wow I’m flattered truly, thanks!!
great video, but if the subject move how light the scene? Do you need to additional operator?
this was an extremely helpful intro to a subject that's flummoxed me for Years!!! thank you, brady
Great info, easy to understand! This is fantastic!!
Glad you think so!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much
Thank you!
Amazing video Brady "No Bueno" LOL I like that
Thank you! Haha
Great job man. Your videos on lighting is informative.
I try my best thank you
Thank you 🙏
Thank you!!
Brady great video.. But can u pls explain how to light a subject in this harsh sunlight situation if she is moving or walking..
Yes! I’ll get working
@@BradyBessette Thanks bro
Early or later in the day for a lower sun. Backlight.
The easiest way to pull this off is to just simply have a grip hold the bounce and walk with the talent keeping it in relatively the same place. Usually works well enough for something like the second setup with the sun at the rear.
Thanks man this was really helpful
Thank you!

I want to keep giving! Thank you so much!!
@@BradyBessette What a legend. I hope it all comes back to you tenfold, mate! Fully deserved!
Your video was very informative and straight forward... Also, your choice of music was calming and NOT distracting, like so many other youtube videos. Thank you!
Fantastic video - learned more here in 5 minutes, than an hour on Linkedin learning. Thanks Brady!
That’s good!! Thank you!!
I love your channel! I learned a lot from you brady! Thank you

I actually don’t even mind the before look.
To each their own!
Awesome info -- thank you for creating this channel, and please keep the videos coming!

Hahaha no worries about it, thank you!
Definitely one of the best content on youtube, I really appreciate everything you do!
Greetings from Mexico
Wow, thank you! Cheers!
Awesome
I love your model how are we gonna fix this in post?
Absolutely perfect video thanks
Great tips if you want extremely unnatural lighting!
Brady, I would like to know how to make that DIY Scrim.
Many thanks
The image quality is super clean just like as if it is taken by Arri
arri quality , budget costs! lol (almost)
I’ve been looking for this video for the longest 🆑
Excellent demo, thank you!
great man.. but is there any video for wide shots??
To come!!
Going to try it tomorrow!
Worked like a charm
Wow, thank you so much! That's some quality content right there!
This was the bomb. Totally enjoyed ! Short film contest tomarrow in Phoenix. I just matrix’d lighting. TY
Thank you for your videos!
Wow, That`s Amazing 😍😍
So good
thank you very much !
I'm so grateful for this channel. You have a very calming vibe :) Thanks for such quality tutorial videos.
Never gotten that before!! Thank you

This is great!! Thank you for sharing this information! Where can I find the DIY for the scrim?
man i gotta say, your contents are so amazing! I learned a lot from you.
thank you very much I'm glad to hear that!
When I'm taking a close shot or a mid shot, I can easily use the reflector and the diffuser. If I go to the long shot, how will it be used?
Thank you!!
Thank you
