Not an expert? You could've fooled me, Stan. I think this is one of the best lighting videos I've seen here recently - and in my own diligence to get the production value I'd like for my own content, I've watched a TON. These tips are stellar and incredibly well-executed. Thank you so much for your very apparent expertise, for sharing, and for taking the time to put together a wonderful resource. Subscribed, brother. Bravo!
This is absolutely awesome! You're one the only few that respect the material constraint announced at the beginning! Bravo and thank you for this video which gives hope for filmmaking without a budget and with a small crew!
Dude this was an absolute pleasure to watch. I am planning a photoshoot and have been looking for some practical, low-budget set-ups, and this video gave me some really great tips for how to approach it. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of lighting and putting in the time and effort to create some really cinematic setups. You have yourself another new subscriber amigo!
Thank you for this video. It cleared my all the doubts and confusions about how to light my shots with my single COB light. It is really informative. Thanks a lot. 👍
This is a great video! Thanks a lot for all the effort behind this. As someone who found this on day 1 of beginning to learn lighting, I am feeling really good about all the learning in this video. Thanks a lot! 🌻
So you're not an expert?! I beg to differ. In short pants, you've taken your home, added 1 light and some reflectors, and transformed it into 7 cinematic scenes! And thoughtfully explained every one of them and stepped through the trial and error to make them perfect while displaying the diagrams and BHS shots. Do you realize this video is the best of a thousand others? Wow, man, thank you! For me, I have been using budget large 15" diag RGB LED lights, GVM -1000-D, so I can colorize scenes without needing gels/foils, etc, which equals easier lighting and more fun (hey, you want purple shadows, okay!) The lights came with barn doors, diffusers and grids so I can pretty much match your examples, with much less skill, however. Seriously, your video is fantastic and I appreciate you sharing it. ⭐x5
Those were some very clever and good use of lighting that too from a budget lighting. Didn't ever thought that this kind of results can be achieved with a budget light. A very knowledgable content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
OMG thanks so much for that video! I've learned so much and this video is one of the best I've ever seen when it comes to this topic! Pure inspiration!! Sunny greetings from Berlin 😍😍
I have been watching a lot of lighting videos, and this is definitely one of the best I have come across. The explanations are concise, that even I could understand !!
As someone who is starting to explore the beauty of lighting, this is such valuable information. I might as well get a cheap one and try things out. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make this video. Lighting is a very practical thing to learn and by recording the BTS too, you really made me feel like I was on set with you where the lighting setups were taking place!!
Hello friend, I'm loving your videos, keep talking even more about light blockers, fills, as they are as important as the lights, I loved them, please continue to detail more like this.
Learning so much right now from your videos! It was exactly what I was missing and you explain it in incredible detail without being overbearing! Thank you for making these!
Best and easiest tips i have ever listen thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻 for this you don't know how much i wanted a information likes you give i am gonna subscribe you now‼️❤️
Bingeing your content mate, its soooo helpful as im just learning video (photographer here). Wondering how you get that final look or is that unedited footage you're showing? You use LUTS to get the look, right? Maybe you have a video on this...Thanks again!
Bro, you compare Hollywood movie shots to yours and embarrass them all without even trying lol. Your setup looks a lot better than most of those major movies. Great job

Thank you very much! Was looking for the video about lighting and this is the best so far! I am absolutely new to making cinematic videos for my vlog, and your tips are very helpful!
Love the video But there is one question I have with the sun light coming into the window... I live in a apartment on the 3rd floor... How do suggest how to do it,,, I would like to see a video on that... Thank you
Cool, I wonder how you could have separated yourself more from the background with a mirror giving you a rim light in the last shot. Like bouncing from your fill on the right emulating the small practical in the background
This is all fantastic. But I ask you a question: in the bedroom scene where the actor is illuminated by the night light, you used black panels. It works great. But if you were to perform a reverse shot on the actor, how would you handle the presence of the black panels? If you removed them to keep them out of the frame, the whole light would change! This is a question I've always asked!
Yea you would have to change the light. They often do this in productions, light for a certain shot and then adjust the lighting for another shot. For example lighting A for wides; lighting B for close ups.
Loved the complete video...will love to see a video on how you will try to light a outdoor scene at night in budget...btw which light stand are you using for the godox
@@SightseeingStan actually one more question, what size lens did you use? Do you think it would be possible to recreate something similar to this using 85mm 1.8?
@@SightseeingStan it was really helpful. I also found another one video from you about lighting about the nanlite projector. Also, very good video. The only thing i am wondering about is the movements of actors. I mean it looks like this kind of lighting is for non moving actors

Where did you get the barn doors for the light?
amazing vid stan, watching the footage from movies, at least they use 3 lights, and getting that close with only 1 light is awesome.
Thank you man! Glad you liked the video ✌️

Thank you for the lessons. I watched this video and did almost every setup you did with what I had to work with.
Great to hear that! Thanks! 👍👍
Awesome ideas, got me thinking a lot. 10:06 Be careful putting gels so close to the COB, it gets really hot in larger lights (even LED!)
Oh. Thks for the return. I love your video. Inspiring. And thks for sharing

Great video! Where did you get your barn doors and how did you mount them to the godox?
They are from another Godox light and they attach to the reflector. I'm sure you can purchase them separate

But there is one question I have with the sun light coming into the window...
I live in a apartment on the 3rd floor...
How do suggest how to do it,,, I would like to see a video on that...

Thank you! It's just a normal mirror where I ducktaped some lines onto 👍
Great vid Stan ! Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
this was toooo good. Maybe make separate videos for separate kinds of lighting
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍

excellent need more like these and also how to frame a subject or composition

All of the shots are color graded, they were recorded in S-Log 3

super inspiring video! what program do you use for color grading?
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I graded the footage in Davinci Resolve
Hey that was quite a nice video.... Pl add more master shots that will help a lot . Thanks!!
Thanks!
wow, because of your film I am going to buy this lamp. Do you think that IID will be a better choice than IIBI?
I would personally recommend the Bi Color (II Bi) because it just gives you more options.

Thanks, I appreciate that! What do you mean with lighting titles?
@@SightseeingStan I mean the way you called each scene.
Bro you are just amazing
Much appreciated 🙌
do you find the godox 60 be strong enough for talking head shots or would you go for the 150 version if buying now?
Oh yes, I'm positive it would be strong enough as a key for talking head shots
Does the back light always have to be a compliment color to the key light? I m a beginner and really confused.
No it doesn't have to be, only if you want to create color contrast
