As discussed in the last part of this video, lighting changed the way I view the world. Has it for you? Do you stop and snap a quick iPhone shot when the light is falling nice on a particular object on the street? Let me know!🙌🏼
Helpful instruction, thank you! I was wondering what was your white balance on the camera? It seems like the image is very orange overall. Was the key light the only light that was set to daylight and everything else was around 3,200k?
So awesome. I love how you turn off all the sources and then bring them back up one by one. Great way to show it all happening, especially with the accompanying floor plan imagery. Please keep these going. I'm sure your subscribers will continue to grow. excellent content.
As I learn more about lighting, it interests me greatly, especially since color is a part of that, really adding to how a context/mood can be set with color and light intensity. Great video.
Wauw wat super tof! Heel fijn dat je middels de tekening laat zien hoe je setup er precies uitziet. Tijdens mijn studie is heel veel aandacht besteed aan het verhaal en de compositie, maar totaal niet aan belichting. Tussen neus en lippen door is verteld dat je goed gebruik kunt maken van een natuurlijke lichtbron... Dat je op deze manier zelfs een saaie muur interessant kan maken is eye opening! Erg duidelijk uitgelegd allemaal, ik ga je video's volgen!
Inge, thanks voor je comment! Ik ben 100% van mening dat natuurlijk licht de hoofdbron is, maar zodra je voor langere tijd een continue licht with behouden, is het 'nabootsen' van het originele 'echte' licht heel handig. zo ook dit leuke truckje met een spiegel! Eindeloos veel mogelijkheden. Thanks voor 't kijken!
This video is soooo good! I love how you SHOW Frank moving the light. It lets you know "where" to place your key light, to get the desired look you're after... vs just "roughly 45 degrees." LOL Great Content. 👍
Thats great stuff mate! Lighting would be one of the main things I’d change from a budget level to a higher level because of skintone rendition and color accuracy!
nice one sjoerd. What about a video where you have a space where you have to work with existing window light and you ad your own light to it without blocking the natural light out. Would you prefer to use the daylight as a rim light or as a key and use your artificial light as a rim?
I’m learning to shape light, mostly for OCF portraits but i also do videography. I can safely say it’s the hardest thing about what we do, and sooo expensive too if you want to have full control of it. Thanks for this easy to understand tutorial!
I think one of the more fun things about filming, especially a studio type set like this for a personal RUclips channel, is playing with the lighting and depth and all of that. Its like being a kid and re-arranging your room every other weekend.
Hahahaha, it’s exactly how it went man. Some nice music over the speaker and just building and messing with light stands😂. Glad I get to feel like a kid while being 26 yo
I am mostly an outdoor photographer/Filmmaker, so I always have been intrigued by light in general. But recently, I became obsessed with artificial lighting, how to light a room for a cinematic look, etc. Thanks for your video, I'm watching a lot of lighting videos recently, and yours pushed me to write a comment ahah so good job
This video is to be watched several times! I see you shooting with the 6K pro and the sigma 18-35mm! I just got mine a week ago and I’m literally blown away by the quality and features! Then yesterday I got a wide angle lens (didn’t have money for the sigma, lol), I got the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 just to start. Thanks man
Awesome universal technique video! I'm not a photographer but a self-taught 3D creator with almost no knowledge of lighting, but this helped me so much to understand the theory.
Erika! Im glad you have found your way to my video. A basic understanding of lighting can definitely benefit you in your 3D modelling! Sounds good you've taught yourself. Thanks for watching!
@@SjoerdWess could you please showcase a dark yet cinematic lighting setup, Dark enough to not reveal the face still cinematic. Like a horror or mysterious kinda stuff.
i truly truly appreciate tutorials like this. i appreciate the moving of the key light around to us what happens. great stuff man! if i may make one suggestion: when you want to highlight just one item in the diagram, you should perhaps have a red circle around it - the blurring of the rest of the diagram is fine, but a few times I couldn't tell what you wanted me to look at -- maybe I'm just going blind ha!
Carlo! Thanks a lot for the feedback. I actually appreciate it when people check my videos and help me get better at what I do. Next time ill try something different to make it more visible. I do agree it was pretty hard to see, haha :-)
Great video. Light is the first and real and only thing that can arrive any image to our eyes. Please, consider to do more video on light in the future. It's a very nice argument. Thank a lot and happy new year 😊
great video! gave me some ideas, though i do wish you made it a little more details showing how you put the gaffer tape on the mirror etc and bounced the light off of it, would have been a nice addition
Great video. I like the way you break down the lighting techniques and also show what lights are actually being used. There are two other channels I follow, Andbery and Brady Bessette that use this same approach to explain how to light a scene. Love these videos keep up the good work!
awesome lighting man! Im trying to replicate exactly your setup. Question - which parabolic diffuser did you use to around the Goddard keylight? Happen to have the brand and model number?
Wow, This is my favorite lighting setup. It’s so… like Perfect bro lol. I want to purchase the exact Lut you used for this one, but don’t know which exact one you used.
When you make the stripes on the back with shadows and lights! Try to move the light further away from the window so that the lines are straighter and don't have that cone effect! Greetings!
@@SjoerdWess thanks for the reply. Considering the cheaper price, I will probably go with the godox. My RUclips setup does need an upgrade. Keep up the good work. Subscribed
This is one of the best videos I've seen about lighting an interview, good job! I wonder if the godox sl60 would be similar in results as the vl150, I'm in a budget right now.
This is great video. I'm total new in "lightning" BUT would like to start. What would you recommend me first to buy it, A. B. C, ... for good price and good quality (not pro) :). Thanks again.
Ivan! Thanks a lot! I would suggest you look into the Godox lights. Like the. SL60W. There are newer versions on the market, which makes these very cheap. Get a nice softbox (or Ikea curtain) and go and play around :-). Next week Ill release a video on creating soft light on a budget. So stick around! :-)
As discussed in the last part of this video, lighting changed the way I view the world. Has it for you? Do you stop and snap a quick iPhone shot when the light is falling nice on a particular object on the street? Let me know!🙌🏼
Oh yes. It's fun to play with when I do street photography 🤓
Helpful instruction, thank you! I was wondering what was your white balance on the camera? It seems like the image is very orange overall. Was the key light the only light that was set to daylight and everything else was around 3,200k?
Why are you wearing a hat indoors
Because my head is cold
I kinda liked the lighting at 12secs 🤣
Its not bad indeed. I remember when I was editing, I kinda thought it looked good too😂
I liked it in the opening shot 😅
i've watched hundereds of videos about lighting. This is absolutely curshes all. You have huge potential just keep going
Thanks so much man. This means a LOT! For real!!
So awesome. I love how you turn off all the sources and then bring them back up one by one. Great way to show it all happening, especially with the accompanying floor plan imagery. Please keep these going. I'm sure your subscribers will continue to grow. excellent content.

Thanks a lot! Great you find lighting interesting!!
This video is everything I needed and only has 6 minutes. Thanks for sharing. Amazing content btw
Thanks a lot!
What a great explanation. I am very new to RUclips and I'm trying to figure out the basics. This was very helpful.
Thats cool! I wish you all the best of luck on your journey!
Thanks!
Appreciate it a lot Jonathan!

hey very helpful I've been leaning more about light actually and def you did great love from west Africa
Cheers!
Proud to be an early sub. You’re about to blow up. Mark my words 👊🏽
Clean style, valuable info, well presented.
Damn dude. This means a lot, you know? Thank you SO much!
Great video. I've been slowly learning how to light myself better, for RUclips videos, and your tips here were to the point.
Great to hear! Cheers man!
LOVE what you did with the mirror and gaff tape in the 2nd setup. Brilliant. Simple and very effective
Thank you! Cheers!
What do you call the effect that you made with a gaffer tape and a mirror?
I think... that you're my favorite filmaker, that i can watch in youtube. Thank you for this amazing content.
Thanks a lot man! That does mean a lot!!
I loved the mirror trick. Great video, thanks for sharing it!
Cheers man!!
Hello, I don't usually comment, but I liked the way you breaked it down. Big up man!!
Thanks a lot man! Means a lot :-)
This video is soooo good! I love how you SHOW Frank moving the light. It lets you know "where" to place your key light, to get the desired look you're after... vs just "roughly 45 degrees." LOL Great Content. 👍

Lights are super important. I just upgraded mine and it make the image look so much better!
Thats great stuff mate! Lighting would be one of the main things I’d change from a budget level to a higher level because of skintone rendition and color accuracy!
This is got to be the best video explaining lighting I swear
Thanks man!
Thank you very much Mr. Wess for your thorough straight to the point animated drawling.
Big ups Mr. Wess👍
Thanks!
Small channel by the number of subscribers but BIG channel by the quality of the content. 👍
Thank you so much Joanna! Luckily the videos I make come from a deeper passion than my subscriber count, haha. Appreciate it!
Once again great content. Precise. I am glad to see that you have been gaining some traction in the last couple of weeks! Well deserved.
Thanks a lot Thomas. It blows my mind so the the amount of people seeing my content! 😅
Dude! This is some high production quality! Just a video away from blowing up! Best of luck and thanks for this content!
Let's hope so man. But for now, I am more than happy with the massive results of this video. Thanks for your comment!
Really nice work! Love the gaffer tape idea. I would use a gobo, but I love that you figured out a way to use a mirror that is so incredibly flexible!
Thanks so much man! A gobo is way easier, but a lot more expensive hehe
You are correct and I am very intrigued with creating again using lighting.
Go for it!
nice one sjoerd. What about a video where you have a space where you have to work with existing window light and you ad your own light to it without blocking the natural light out. Would you prefer to use the daylight as a rim light or as a key and use your artificial light as a rim?

love the warm glow of all your set ups. would really love to imitate this soon. what temperature range do you set them to?
Usually 3200k! Thanks dude!

Yes excellent points! The same look can be achieved with cheaper lights too
Thanks dude! And yes. Definitely.
very nice and well explained. I did help me with my light setting as I am a beginner. Thanks a lot men.
Great to hear! Good luck on your journey!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great value!!!! Many thanks for this video. Very pleasant background. Very pleasant YOU.
So nice of you!
Perfect Video, really interesting! Love the idea of the tape on the mirror. Very good idea.
Thanks a lot!
I like the mirror and duck tape idea. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
great video! gave me some ideas, though i do wish you made it a little more details showing how you put the gaffer tape on the mirror etc and bounced the light off of it, would have been a nice addition
Thanks for the idea! I will include things like these next time🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@SjoerdWess maybe you can make a video separately about those little things like that 😊
Thank you Sjoerd. just getting started with lighting and find this video very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful video, bro! Gratitude!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this! Thanks for posting ur diagrams and for giving us a tour of your process.
Thanks man. Appreciate it!
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks a lot!
Great tutorial, would love to learn more about that mirror technique!
Thanks man! Glad it was helpful!

awesome lighting man! Im trying to replicate exactly your setup. Question - which parabolic diffuser did you use to around the Goddard keylight? Happen to have the brand and model number?
I believe this was the cheapest quick setup 90cm para softbox from amazon. But the Aputure lightdome ii is a good choice. Fair price and good quality!
nice video. only thing missing is a solid catch light (or two) in the eyes, would really help you shine and make the whole shot come alive.
I totally agree man. It's for a bit more of an in-depth video. I rather, when shooting a bigger project, like to use more lights anyway!
Straight to the point, loved that. Great content, bro.
Thanks a lot mate! Glad it was useful!
Wow, This is my favorite lighting setup. It’s so… like Perfect bro lol. I want to purchase the exact Lut you used for this one, but don’t know which exact one you used.
On my store.sjoerdwess.com site, check BMD GEN5 lut
Subbed. ShotDeck is a GOLD MINE!
Thanks mate! I agree 100%!!
GREAT VIDEO, especially for me, that I’m a rookie on this and planning to do my podcast also on video. Thanks!!!!
Cheer mate! Glad it was helpful
Thank you
You're welcome
Loved your flow, straight to the point!

Its an Ikea dimable light :-)
@@SjoerdWess Looks great. Thanks.
Nice!
Thanks for this cool video. I'm impressed by the output of the godox 150. Have you ever compared it to the apurture?
Thanks mate! I have, and surprisingly the output is a touch more. The quality is just as good.. :-)

Lovely use of light. Cheers

Best video on lightning
Thanks so much!!
This is one of the best videos I've seen about lighting an interview, good job! I wonder if the godox sl60 would be similar in results as the vl150, I'm in a budget right now.
You can. The output is less but strong enough. I worked with the SL60 for a long time!
@@SjoerdWess Thanks for the reply! o_O that was fast haha
Haha, sad evenings on the sofa haha
I’m intrigued by it now. Freaking nice man 👍🧨
Thanks a lot!
That was awesome, man. Lights are almost everything! Thanks 🙏
Thanks Ruben! I totally agree. Lights are SO important! :-)
Great video man,
what software do you use for this 2D virtual lighting set up?
Photoshop. Film Set Objects :-)
Very helpful, thank you for the in-depth explanation
Thanks a lot🙏
Loved this video Sjoerd! the mirror with gaff is so creative but you might want to take a look at the godox SA-17. Many Ortiz did a video on that one
Hi mate! Thanks! Yea, I’ve had one to borrow, it’s quite nice. Might get one to see its full potential!
Thank you, this video was very insightful.
Thanks man!
I liked your lighting setup and gear. Can you provide me the online consultancy to set up a masterclass?
I could! Send me an email please!
Great video man! Such a simple setup but looks soooo good. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Thanks mate! Kind of the message I wanted to bring across. Sometimes a setting relies more on creativity than lights. 3 lights, it’s all it was :-)
@@SjoerdWess Absolutely, I 100% agree with this! Sometimes the simpler the better. Again, great stuff man!
Thanks a lot Alex!🔥🤟🏼
Thank you for sharing. Great video!
Cheers mate!
Its amazing video with pefect exmpels. Thank you a lot!
Thanks mate!❤️
Quality bro!
Thanks mate!
Again! such a good and original video
Thanks boys! Tof dat jullie dit checken :-)
Love this so much, very insightful! Just one question: at 1:17, how are you blocking the light from the window behind you?
Thanks a lot mate! This is done using gaffer tape and garbage bags😂
Haha thanks boggled my mind for a bit trying to figure that out, keep up the great videos
@@JuwanPetty thanks a lot man!🙏🙏

how did you get your godox to work with your c stand? a converter of some kind? or a boom arm? i'm trying to sort it out myself
Its called a spigot. Has screw ends on both sides!

Mooi en duidelijk uitgelegd, Sjoerd!
Thanks Nick! Heel tof dit te horen :-)
Very cool! I appreciate the effort you put into this video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching my friend :-)
But how do you determine what camera settings and brightness to use in on the lights?
First, set your camera settings you want to shoot your project in. Then dial in the amount of light needed to achieve a good look.
So much love for this video and the way it was filmed 👏🏾 automatic sub!
Thanks so much man. These words motivate me!! Wuhuuu
Hey Sjoerd, hoorde je op Clubhouse en ben naar je video’s gaan kijken. Echt super handige tips voor mensen zoals ik. Dank je wel!
Hey daar! Tof dat je iets achter laat. Fijn dat je er iets aan hebt, en wat een tof kanaal heb je! Lekker zo doorgaan! :-)
Cool, very easy to understand. 😉
thanks a lot!
how to record like the opening? the first few seconds. just one light .
