I wouldnt call aputure budget lights.. they are very high quality lights and while def more affordable than some other companies, the term budget is sorta disingenuous. Budget = cheaper in cost and this cheaper in quality... Aputure is a disruptive lighting company.

I’m 100% going to visit this coffee shop because of this video. Vermont is just a few hours away and very soon i will take a drive down. Thanks my man, you’re content is amazing btw.
It's a great shot! I always find myself trying to imagine the movie that your setups belong to. But I can never resist the thought that Negative Phil must be a particularly grumpy member of the crew.
Terrific video. Good point about the panel light being light weight. I also love how you "make do" with what ya got when you have to... nice home made flag. Do more of these videos if you can. I've been shooting video professionally for almost 40 years but you never learn it all in lighting.
Dope setup. I pre-ordered the F22C, curious what boom stand you’re using. I currently have an impact combo boom stand that has a 3lb capacity when it’s fully extended...so no bueno.
@@BradyBessette Thanks for responding. I was referring to the impact combo boom stand that is aluminum, ultra light weight and versatile but load capacity fully extended is limited to 3lbs. After further research you’re using the impact boom arm that is steel, attaches to c-stands/junior/etc. and holds up to 8lbs. If the F22C with the mount and soft box is 6lbs+ the steel version is the way to go. I was hoping I could go ultra lightweight with my current boom stands (travel a lot to film) and maybe one solution is making an x bracket out of bambo and zip tying diffusion to the panels haha!
I’m adding to my light inventory. I already had two Pixel led panel lights, I could substitute those for the F22 as a key light if I chose to recreate this shot. I just purchased a GVM SD300B Pro and the GVM 80w. Could I substitute those for the 600 and the 300 if I shot a little later in the evening or at golden hour? It’s just a thought, I’ll get the GVM 400 or 650 if business determines I should
Professor Brady, I've got a question for you. I'm in process of writing a horror film which I intend to shoot as well. Now considering that I fall into the "no-budget filmmaker" category, I'll be using regular store bought lights to light my entire film. So here are my questions: 1. LIGHTING: Should I light my scene such that it's "well-lit" on location and then add the gloomy horror look in post production during the color grade, or light the scene on location as close to the intended final product? What do you think is the best approach as a "no-budget" filmmaker? I'm using an A73 to shoot. 2: WHITE BALANCE: As a rule, I usually set the white balance to day light(5600K) as this is as close to what the human eye sees. Is this a good approach? I've noticed that some shoot at 6000/7000K to get the blueish tinge, but it looks really unnatural to me eye. Professor It would really mean the world to me if you could make a video with guidelines that one can use when shooting a horror film. I've already watched one of your horror-tutorial videos but I'd appreciate a slightly detailed tutorial that looks into the many types of typical scenes that can be seen in a horror movie. Hope everything is well with you Professor Brady! I know that you are a busy man so I understand if this request is too much of an ask! Regardless, thank you for all that you do for the amateur filmmaking community.
Help me out here please. Should her hot side be on her right side of her face ie sun coming in ??? Her shadow side should be on her left side? PS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Hey Brady, I'm so glad I found your videos. I am currently attending Full Sail University and getting my Bachelor's degree in Cinematography. Students including myself were each given the Sony FX6 and I am learning the in's and outs as much as I can. Would you be willing to do a breakdown of the camera? We were only scarcely told about it and its features.
Check out Philip Blooms FX6 Review + follow up videos, it has so much in depth detail about everything FX6. Also look for Robert Machado's CineEI breakdown, it's pretty useful. It's such a capable camera. I absolutely love mine.
You really nailed the lighting for that location! Looks great. Which picture profile did you use for the fx6 and what was you color correction process?
"casting a little yellow on him". What? That wasn't a him... *Camera slowly pans right. "It is a him?!". Anyways, I'm curious, shooting LOG and creating a stylized look in post, or setting up the scene with the right lights and filters to achieve an "organic" stylized look. What is your preference?
Hahahaha we had a stand in before maya! But I personally shoot in log , since I don’t have “quick turnarounds”. Worst case shoot log and apply phantom lut or CST for a rec709 look
Crazy how much you can learn in such a short period of time. This was a perfect shot to me first time I watched this. Now, still a great shot, but the key light looks a bit unmotivated. The candles on the wall aren’t bright enough to be the motivation. And the light to dark contrast on her face isn’t soft enough for the light bouncing off of the wall to be the motivation. Maybe all it needed was a practical somewhere closer.
In all honesty from the second I started using this light I fell in love with it and said I’d use it all the time. It’s gaf taped to the ceiling of my moving truck right now for the doc. I’m filming
Thanks, Great job on the video. Also, like 99% of online lighting tutorials, you show how to light a person standing or sitting still. In most serranoes in video the person and or camera is moving. Please show how to light for movement?
I think you should have blocked the existing real sunlight that is coming from far right of the frame as there are multiple conflecting light sources in the scene now!

If you’re seeing this I’m currently driving to Utah! Limited commenting ability but I love you all!
Drive safe brother.
Legend has it he's still driving to this day 😌🙏
@@katielowen HAHAHAHA
Please where is the result of the Commercial?
Wow, that's a long drive 😅
The fact you're using all these budget lights, presumably by yourself, and getting these results speaks volumes about your skill.
That means the world thank you so much
Skills! For sure! Budget? Maybe for a millionaires kid. Not for an average dude.

"You don't want people to notice the light you want it to be felt" Love it
It’s true though!!
Impressive descriptions of your lighting decisions for this shoot. The "why" of the setups is sooo helpful. Thank you!
The best...your classes are just the best, well detailed. I love you Brady.
Thank you so so much. ❤️
The production value in your videos is through the roof! Great work as always
That means the world
Ahhhh I love how you approached lighting this! 😍
Heeeey Ari! Thank you:)
Love the quality of these videos bro. You’re the lighting goat in my book!
I’m 100% going to visit this coffee shop because of this video. Vermont is just a few hours away and very soon i will take a drive down. Thanks my man, you’re content is amazing btw.
You are THE lightning guru 😅💪🏼 excellent bts Brady and very informative for such an old filmmaker 😂
Thank you so so much 🥺
Great breakdown Brady - love seeing how you approach lighting a scene, learning a lot!
Thank you very much Josh
It's a great shot! I always find myself trying to imagine the movie that your setups belong to.

Hahahaha I love this comment. Are you referring to the old video I did on neg?👀
@@BradyBessette Just comes to mind whenever the concept is mentioned in passing.
Dude, thanks for these unique things to consider for beginners lighting like myself.
Very nice work.. Most useful tidbit for me? That sun seeker app.. Worth the whole video.
Brady you read my mind with this video
I am so glad I did that
brady the bloom , great content bro
Brilliant info. Thanks! I thought I was the only one that used lid covers and sweatshirts for lighting help. I feel normal now!
Ahahah you aren’t alone!!
Professor Brady! You are the man! always been a fan and I am your Stan! :D
Thanks for the valuable content as always brother!
Hey hey hey!
Thank you for stopping by every single video! I see you:)
@@BradyBessette Appreciate it brother!
I learned so much lighting technique in your channel, thanks!
And thank YOU for supporting
Very useful video, Brady! Bravo!

We really need a color grade video from you Brady - Great videos
Great video Brad! I'm really thinking about getting this light mostly for travel and solo jobs. Seems a no brainder a light and portable soft source.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. GOOD LESSON BRADY BESSETTE...!!!!!! THANK YOU..!
Excellent. Thank you Brady!
great video! doppelganger 2:53 hehe
Great stuff, what is the light stand connect/accessory part that looks like you have connected two light stands to make one c stand like stand?
It’s a boom arm from BH
@@BradyBessette Appreciate bro, learned alot from your vids!
Great video ! I’m learning so much here :)
Can you remember if the 22c was on full power ?
WHOOOO!!!!!
Yaaaaaaa
Hi! Great video! What stand do you used in the video for the amaran? Thanks!
Great informative video! Way to represent the North East
Northeast always has a place in my heart
Dope setup. I pre-ordered the F22C, curious what boom stand you’re using. I currently have an impact combo boom stand that has a 3lb capacity when it’s fully extended...so no bueno.
This was a BH impact one, so far not bad , thank you!
@@BradyBessette can you share a link to the exact one? Also any chance it might support a 4.5 pound light like the p60c? Thanks!!

Re the wide output, have you tried lighter or no diffusion on the flown key? Some of these mat lights are fairly soft without.
would love to see you do review on the Panasonic s1h camera. camera is a beast!
Amazing content Brady! Would you mind doing a video of how you store and transport all these lights? 😮💨
C stands alone are a bitch to transport without a van 😅
Finally! No weird sponser plugs. Missed the old Brady. Found him back!
Oh hi
Thank u so much, for sharing these such an information for free
Thank YOU
What boom arm you used on top of that c stand. Can you drop a link?
Would like to know the same
That was an impact boom arm from B&H. I’d suggest an avenger arm instead
@@BradyBessette Can you drop a link?
Nice! Did you pick the sigma 24-70 because of the IS?
I love all your lighting videos.
Could you do a video on how you get smooth handheld footage without IBIS/OIS?
I really liked the video! I'd be happy if in the next video you could show how to light characters and scenes in motion.
Got it planned! Thank you

I'm debating between the X & C. Do you find yourself using rgb or are you usually using the bi color range?

Hi Brady, what is the lightstand/boom arm set up that you are booming the Amaran F22c on?
Help me out here please. Should her hot side be on her right side of her face ie sun coming in ??? Her shadow side should be on her left side? PS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Brady what boom arm are you using with that f22c?
This was an impact brand from B&H, it’s pretty good but I’d suggest avenger arm instead. More trustworthy under load
7:12 What is the boom arm of Toplight? Please tell me the product name!
How did this project come together?
Did the coffee shop pay for Brady, gaffer and the model?
Thanks for the input!
What stand is it that you're using to boom the flex light?
It’s an Impact brand boom arm!
Great video! Which boom arm are you using on the c-stands?

@@rogrdotnet awesome thanks for the recommendations, I will look into them now.
Nice bro, What lens were you using ?
Brady, I've noticed you're charging your monitor from the same V-Mount battery. Is there a possible threat of frying up your camera's video ports?
what's the difference between the bmp 1/4 that u used in this video and the 4x5.65 bmp 1/4 . if i can afford the expensive should i go for it ?
Did you add any grain in post?
You really nailed the lighting for that location! Looks great. Which picture profile did you use for the fx6 and what was you color correction process?
Thank you so much. I used slog3 cine, and mainly a phantom lut for color
@@BradyBessette thanks man!
have a link to the light stand and boom arm? Im looking for some solid stands more portable than c-stands
I don’t at the moment, BH impact brand boom arm!
Hey Brady! Does this light dim down all the way to 1%??
1% yes, 0.1% no !
@@BradyBessette Thanks Brady! That's the info I needed... ordered 3... am excited for them to arrive!
Do you use this kind of heavy setup in every project?
big budget lights everytime
Did you need a permit to rig that 600d outside on the sidewalk?
For this case, I didn’t, but I would recommend checking where you’re filming prior to
Amazing! Thanks
Aputire的燈很棒，感謝分享
thanks so much you’re amazing
You’re amazing thank you
Hey man, What settings You using on FX6? The grain on back wall is very noticeable, specially in wide shot. Is it S-Cinetone or slog?
Nice video. Are these still your favourite lights?
bang kalok sinenya berubah ubah itu pake 3 lampu aja bisa ngk tapi lampunya make amaran 100x sama godok sl60w bisa ngk bang?
Thank you bro ❤
What's the cstand used for key light?
No Haze ?
The overall shot looks fantastic. But the room is very full of light. I think the flag actually took away a lot and it's too dark. But i dont hate it
I do wish I had a big sheet of neg to control that better , thanks!
which one is these boom arm ? l
Nice 🙏
Thank you!
It was a great tutorial like always; I noticed noise on the image, which was a bit evident. I don't know why
I’m not sure why! Nonetheless, thank you
still waiting for the siluette scene Brady🙃..nice video thou
Thank you, workin on it!
@@BradyBessette thnx.. can't w8 to see it 🥰
"casting a little yellow on him".

Yeah those phantom luts you last demonstrated were really nice.
Love mine 🤷🏼♂️
❤❤
Hi!
Looks nice. But still doesn't feel natural. Why not just rotate her 180, so the window motivates the light? And do the same ideas.
So cool.. but way out of my budget.. hopefully you guys could come up with cheap alternatives.. haha
Crazy how much you can learn in such a short period of time. This was a perfect shot to me first time I watched this. Now, still a great shot, but the key light looks a bit unmotivated.

Gonna have to come up!! I’m in western mass let’s get in touch
I just moved to Utah :(
I feel like people are forcing themselves to use this for demo. I don’t think most will pull out these lights most of the time
In all honesty from the second I started using this light I fell in love with it and said I’d use it all the time.
It’s gaf taped to the ceiling of my moving truck right now for the doc. I’m filming
The fan on these lights Amran lights is not useable if you need sound
1st of all thanks for tutorial
and
I'M SORRY APUTURE!!!
I THOUGH YOUR PRODUCT WAS APRIL FOOLS JOKE :(
(because they released it at 1st april :( )
Hahahaha never thought of that. But it is indeed real!!
