    it's amazing how many videos there are on the internet with a click bait title like how to shoot "Cinematic" footage. Then they ramble on about lenses and cameras and gimbals etc etc etc. When really it's about the appropriate tools for that specific job at the time. I love this because although he uses pretty expensive lights in this tutorial, in truth all you need is a bed sheet and some cheap lights to get a decent rendition of this technique. Couple this with a great acting performance and the right choices in camera movement and set dressing and sound design, and you will get pretty close to "Cinematic".

    Very good explanation one small tip, choose a lower F-Stop to let more of that light in and blur the background a bit, Deakins likes to keep the clarity on the faces but let the light truly overtake the face. He likes to adjust between f2.8 and 4 but it does vary.

    I run across a lot of people who misunderstand cove lighting in that they will light each “segment” of the cove at the same brightness, so this is a perfect explanation.
    And the LitePanels Gemini is a BADASS light. I’ll be putting mine to use in a few videos soon.

      NO GAFF ON WALLS. The big boys use ProTape 306P743160MSW Tape. It also goes by ShureTape Photo Black or Permacel Photo Tape. Take it off same day and you can basically guarantee you won't take paint off the wall. Good 'ol Blue Masking Tape works too in a pinch.

    @PanteraRossa 9 месяцев назад +1

    Yeah I would only suggest using fresnels or spot lights instead for sheer output. Deakins himself would use cheap open face tungstens when bouncing simply because they had more output which is always the main "issue" when using bounced sources, you lose a lot softening the light so you need more output.
    Fresnels or par lights for bouncing and soft panels or kinos (horizontal) are better for diffusing.
