In my career I never understood why anyone would light narrative like a TV interview. Yet, thats what people do. They also get so obsessed with a "shadow side". If you lit the room nice, then it looks real and you can focus on getting good shots with the good light you set up. Regardless of the side. Helps bang out shots quick lighting this way too.
My man, these independent tests are the stuff that you know all giant names in the industry did at some point. I love staying up and practicing with stuff like this - it's frustrating only until you catch one of those magic frames. Good light is addicting. 😁
I've never seen such professionalism in a video. You reek of skill my man. As a news cameraman this has changed a lot for me when it comes to getting b-roll and cutaways. Subbed
It's always reassuring to hear that even cinematographers I look up to are struggling not to give up on a test shot.. the ones who stand out, are the ones who just keep going and keep doing. I love how this looks. There is so much beauty in these lighting imperfections, which makes it perfect.
thank you. you know.. last night when I shot this I went inside and was significantly pissed off bc I was set on just not finishing and calling it a day. I chilled for a moment and went back outside until I at least got it to a point. was not easy, but always feels better pushing through. and yes this was just a test and a YT video.. but the same holds true when shooting for real, and other areas of life.
Thank you!! Very clear explanation. I never have enough time to light a scene and you just tought me to practice more at home. And light the room when I don't have the time to re-light that often.
Balancing levels from inside is the hardest. It’s so easy to overcook it. My favorite scenario in such a space is a few lamps in a background / backlight and top light with a spotlight to the table if I want some level on my face. Also you didn’t mention but dirty windows is so important for soaking up some light. Give that extra layers instead of pure blackness
It ain’t easy. It’s also hard when on set and there are time limits. Lamps are cool, I could have put one on the table. If I was in a house I know I would have put one on the table. Spot on the table to get the face.. yes! Also yeah texture on windows is great for this. Really helps!
Great video man. It was just like hanging out with a buddy and him walking through what he just learned in the last couples hours. I dig your approach.
my favorite video i've seen on youtube so far. watched the entire thing through twice. enjoyed your stream of thought and how you arrived at the solution. i hope you make more of these kinds of videos where you dive deep into the process.
Great video! The most interesting and useful part is hearing your thought processes, rather than just seeing finished frames. Looking forward to the next one!
My issue with this lighting setup as someone who spends a lot of time in their garage working on things, is that no one in their right mind would be working in such low light. I get that it's cinematic and interesting to look at but it's unrealistic. Might I suggest a practical? Like a swing arm magnifying lamp clamped onto the desk? Fluorescent overhead lights, or even just a home depot portable spot light?
You’re right. I left it out. Part laziness, part tired, but mostly bc I wanted to leave out lighting the face completely, as I want to talk about that more in depth in an upcoming video that is taking me way too long to make 😭
100% agree with this. when I'm starting with lighting, i think "atmosphere" first. it gives you a launchpoint of where lighting terms like "motivate" can come from. Plus itll always set you up for a less invasive approach. good stuff boss
Yep. Love it. The “final” shot here kind of sets us up to more, get some light on the face if needed, some practicals, haze. Gives a good base that you can move around nicely in.
yup so this was hands down the most illuminating light video showing what it takes to create the shot you want! man if you just kept doing these types of videos. it is so useful in understanding the time and length it take to make a great shot!
This was a fantastic lighting walkthrough video. You showed us how you worked through various light placement and control to achieve a look to suggest a mood or situation. This was very helpful. More like this, please.
The accidental beauty shot with a warm lamp camera right on the desk bouncing off to fill your face and backlight the items on the desk. I think would have been perfect 👌
Great video! I think your point about adding gels was a good one to create some more depth. And adding a tiny amount of haze for that "dusty" garage feel would have been a cool way to add some beams of light coming in. I know that feeling of not wanting to film and just going to bed. keep up the good work.
Hey thank you. Should have mentioned haze. I almost went to get a hazer earlier in the day but didn’t. I also put on scatter in the edit and it looked great, but removed for faster render time. That feeling of wanting to quit… I almost did and I was pissed. Went inside and almost didn’t go back out to finish it up. Glad I did.
End result: PERFECTION. Much appreciate your hard work, because that was a LOT of work! Many would not have gone the extra mile like you did! I felt your pain every time I saw the direction of the outside lights change. LOL
such a good content, very inspiring, please make more videos like that. Some tips to improve even more is show some kind of floor plan of the room, and the technical equipaments used, but independent of the way this format is so damn good!
thank you thank you! I considered showing a floor plan on this one, but didnt. in some of my others I do, and sometimes I purposely don't, as I find the specific position of the lights in stuff like this doesn't matter, and it's the approach I want to focus on. that being said, I think I will show diagrams in the next one!
I started this video on my phone and stopped it went and got my food threw it it up on the big screen and I’m about to begin 20 secs in and I can’t get enough ! When I start uploading I want it to look like your stuff !
really well done explanation, lighting is my weakness, I appreciated you going into depth on changing lighting depending on context that different scenes may look good depending on the context
I’m about to shoot a scene in a hospital room. I generally use natural light with a little bit of additional light but due to challenges with the location, I’ll have to adapt. This video you gave me a little bit more confidence in how to approach it, thanks 🙏
great! you can definitely augment natural light, as long as it will stay where you need it for the time that you need it there! let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much. As someone who is diving more into lighting, this is absolutely invaluable. (instant subscribe). You said, 'Also, F1... if you don't have it, I don't know what to say." What were you referring to there? Obviously, I do not have it.
hey thank you so much! I have more of these in the pipeline! F1 is a film emulation I made. there is a video about it on this channel, yellow thumbnail!
Really interesting, I also watched on big LG oled screen. I was missing some kind of table lamp on the right side of the frame, maybe one of those with a magnifier lighting the table. Some haze could also be cool in that situation because it would make the background less sharp and the light beams more defined. All of these are just ideas and as always it all depends on the story, story is king.
Lighting the space will be particular handy when I’m feeling self conscious about my face… But actually, awesome dude. Cool hearing these different kinds of perspectives.
This inspires me! Often videos like these might do the opposite, make me feel, like "Damn! What's wrong with me, why can't I make my stuff look that good." Your looks just really "storytelling wise cinematic" and now I'm like I want to make a yt-video like this too and shout you out on it. :D
Phenomenal video. I like your videos a lot more when you're actually lighting things yourself and creating moods rather than analyzing other people's work. I think it's more digestible.
This is inspired me to film a video like this, and man did I get lit up in the comments about not turning the lights on. I love your shot. I love my shot! haha
Accidental beauty is so true, you can never get it back to what it was, thats why i never try to make it better after i think its good enough. cause it could be the perfect in the grand scheme of things
Yep agreed. I was significantly upset when I moved away from what was looking good. I should have just augmented from there, instead of making a new look. Good lesson though!
I think the biggest invisible factor in this situation is the location! The grungy garage definitely helps shape the mood of the lighting and allows it to be what it is.
28min record time leading to a 15min video is the level of a-roll articulation I wanna achieve. Thank you so much for your time Blaine, you’re the realest 🙌🏼
Thanks for this tutorial. So helpful. The biggest takeaway I'm taking from here is that once you light the scene, you should play around with different frames for different shots without relighting every time. This way you can always be in the scene and your shots can help achieve a consistent story. I had never thought of this before. Thanks! How is the light outside covering such a wide area? That's quite a few windows on your garage door, and they're widely spaced. What's going on outside?
hi thank you! I think the point is that you light the whole space, so that you can move around. you can then tweak the lighting a little bit for each scene, and what often happens is you tweak the lighting on the talent, but not the space so much. Overall you just build a world that you can live in for the scene, to minimize resetting lights and you change angles. Often times this is to either replicate reality, or to build a new one. What would the light be doing in the world I am building.. instead of.. let me light this person sitting here. also, outside I had 2 Forza 500s. there is a photo of that setup in this video. let me know if you need a timestamp!
That you. Love that you saw that! I also see that a little bit too and also was thinking about that scene while on the garage. Light coming from outside. Simple. Love it!
Amazing explainer, I am a very amateur when it comes to camera work but when my band has a filmclip shot I pay lots of attention to the cinematographer. The first one focused on lighting the band members and I did a lot of research to learn what he was doing, the second took me completely by surprise and only focused on lighting the scene; it worked fantastic but I had no idea how to analyze what he did as it basically rejected everything I had learned. Your video perfectly captures what the second guy was doing and has helped me so much. I have recently bought a Lumix s5mk2 and blackmagic monitor to go with it. I rarely get time to practice but I am lucky enough to have 3 weeks holiday where I plan to get as much practice in as possible. My intention was to pick a concept (i.e. day 1 exposure, day 2 framing, etc) and play with blending in concepts from previous days with the idea of getting atleast some experience and improvement in each area. Would you recommend a different strategy for someone who rarely gets time to practice?
Hey thanks so much! I think this is a good strategy. I’d also go into a dark room with one single light (could even be a light bulb) and move it all around and see what it does at different distances and angles.
The set-up looked good artistically, but I couldn’t get past how dark your desk looked and why anyone would want to work like that. Good for someone sitting at their desk and having a “moment” but even then, where is their work light?
There is always good info on deakins site. Trying to think of other resources.. if any come to mind I will report back. Often times it is bright lights through windows, a controllable sun. For night interiors a lot of times it is practical lamps with additional panels to supplement. There are really no rules. Check deakins site!
