Looks great man! Night exteriors are definitely tough, but I think method of having your fixtures close to the ground and a bounce up high is a great budget way to fake what a condor or cherry picker will get ya. Thanks for the explanation! I really love being able to hear the thought processes behind a DP, 'cause on set I rarely get to take the time to actually hear what they're thinking.
On set it’s “go go go” hahaha I know sometimes I wish I could give better explanations on set but tough when you’re under time constraints and got to get the day done!
Measuring on a light meter should translate the same to each camera. I think middle grey is abit different for each camera sensor so you need to test and adjust accordingly. What do you mean about low light? Using high sensitive iso? If your question is about metering with high sensitive iso levels then you just set your light meter to that iso and meter from there.
Great question! I was using 250watt tungsten bulbs in each practical and we would dimmed those puppies down to like 20-30% and you get that 2700k warmth. Greg Fraser does this a lot especially in Batman. But we did emphasize that color in the grade to make it pop more
Oh man honestly such a game changer! I really like what they did in the last of us. They rigged their condors with 40x40 frames with titan tubes. 1. Gave a beautiful soft moonlight 2. It was also safer because the wind could pass through each fixture. Traditionally using a huge soft box would be a kite in the wind
Moonlight is the bane of my existence. Ive been trying to dial down that look kus i want to slowy fade away from that blue ish moonlight look and more towards that silverish look.
Shane Hurlbert does some great “silver moon” night exterior master classes! He plays around with tungsten lights gelled and rating his cameras to different temperatures! Worth checking out!

Great work! This is not easy to do!
Appreciate it! 🙌
I have a question about your light meter. Do you add +1.5EV when you measure lighting on Sony fx3? And how do you measure on lowlight!

how are the tungsten lights warm when 500T is tungsten balance film stock? did you guys set it to a warmer like below 2700K? thanks!

Thanks man appreciate your help
plus as long as you get the color contrast in camera you can go cooler or warmer in the grade doesn’t matter the whitebalance. The ratio is key
Might be the highest low budget video I’ve seen lol I get it though, all low budgets are not the same
Great video... tons of tips👌🏽
Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼
great job bestie, good thumb nail and title, clicked on it without even realizing it was you
Hahahah YES!
i thought the thumbnail looked familiar and then i popped up in the video lmaoo!!
Hahah ayyye 🙌🙌
Fun days when the 2 4ks rigged with a frame on a picker comes out

Not nearly enough booklights. Unsubscribed
Hahahah might just have to make a video about book lights
