In Part 2, we take a look at how understanding the qualities and exposure levels of your lighting and scene, can allow you to use colour temperature and white balance to turn day into night.
Parts 4 and 5 will be released to TH-cam over the next 3 months, delving further into how you can look at using colour temperature and white balance in your work, with practical examples. Part 3 is exclusive to the digital download and the Patreon stream.
There are a couple of sections in this part where the voice over audio goes a little funky when viewed on a phone. TV, headphones, speakers all seem to be fine, so possibly something mono related - I haven't been able to figure this one out! So headphones are recommended if viewing on a phone!

Day to Night was always a mystery to me...showing the long exposure night shot and how similar it was to a day shot blew me away! It's incredible to think of shooting a bunch of shots for different times of day from one lighting setup! Thanks so much!
You've no idea how much do you change me perspective in cinematography with every new video that you release. Thank you so much, Rob.
I'm super happy to hear that Lucas, I really appreciate it! Thank YOU so much for watching! :)
Ive been lighting and shooting film and video for three decades. If newbies would just pay attention and absorb your lighting tutorials, they would become much more creative and possibly get more work as cinematographers. These techniques are also time savers, and subsequently, budget savers!!!
EXCELLENT SERIES
Thanks so much Markham, super happy you think my work is worth a lot to learn from - I really appreciate it!!
Best cinematographer on TH-cam right here
Too kind!
Man, you make tutorials like hardly anyone else. I knew these principles already but it is such a great video. This is something not talked about much and you break down the how and why very well.
Thanks so much for this beautifully illustrated explanation
straight to the point with numbers and informations. respect
I think I am already seeing progress from these videos. Thanks for sharing!
Always like a meditation
Haha I love that! Thank you so much! :)
I've seen this video for more than 10 times. Thank you soooo much
Haha I'm glad you're getting so much out of it! I appreciate it - thank you! :)
Best video on this subject I have ever seen. Great job! And thanks too.
Thanks Evandro, happy you think so!! I appreciate it! 😊
Insanely useful explanation here, thanks for sharing this !
Just found this channel... this is the absolute best I've seen ever on youtube
thats just awesome. I cant believe how much i just learned by watching this video. Thank you so much!
Happy to hear you learned a lot from it, thank YOU so much!! 😄
This is unbelievable! Thank you for all this incredible information!!
Thank you so much! I hope you found it useful!! :)
The Quality of these tutorials are MIND BLOWING! Well done man
Thank you so much Mehran, happy you're enjoying them!! :)
One of the most helpful videos ever!
Super happy to hear that! Thank you so much!! 😄
Man, this video is gold! They are both easy to understand and packed with a lot of knowledge. You are making amazing job!
I’ve always avoid white balance as most videos go over my head but this was great explanation and easy to follow
Yo, picked up your full course and have watched it a couple times taking notes. Super solid info in there, Rob! Definitely did a good job at demystifying how color temp is used in film making.
Thank you so much for your support Logan, I'm happy you found it useful! :)
What great video man, I like it please keep posting such type of a video
Glad you enjoyed it! :) I will do!
This is wildly good, so much learning packed enjoyably into 11 minutes. Thank you.
Thanks so much, I'm happy you both learnt from and enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching!! :)
WOW this was well done. Can tell you put a lot of work in this.
Thanks so much Dan! 😀
Excellent. Thanks.
So good ❤️
Started watching the channel to learn how to make pretty images, gonna finish with having a PhD in Astrophysics.
Hahaha I don't know if it's quite on that level but I appreciate the sentiment! I hope you're enjoying the videos! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer Oh you know it dude, best tutorials on the platform, cheers!
awesome video!!!!!! thank you for sharing
This is Gold
Thank you so much Rich!
6:04 Yeah I'm seeing how the main difference between these is no apparent bounce light to fill even little shadows in the texture of this wall under dim light already reflected once from the Moon.
This is actually because the moon was a lot higher in the sky than the sun - I would've had to wait a couple of seasons to get the sun in a similar position - but if I had, the images should have looked pretty much identical! But I felt the point was demonstrated well enough here! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer OHHH I hadn't thought of that factor, since they look pretty close.
Thanks Rob.
@@anthonypc1 it's perhaps something I should have noted in the video! Thanks Anthony! :)
Wow. Just wow
you should link your patreon from your about page. Thanks for all your hard work.
To think this info is free. Amazing video

Too kind Kasey! I really do appreciate it, it all helps! 😊 thank you so much!
amazing! love your tutorials!
Thanks so much Daniel! :)
Hi Rob, great video. One question though: at 6:45 when you talk about lowering your exposure and increasing contrast to mimic moonlight, is that something you would/could do in post or does it have to be done on set? Thanks in advance.
lord of light
❤❤❤
Looking for business cooperation,may we have a chance?
No nonsense, no posturing,. Just pure education. Fantastic stuff. Much appreciated.
Thank you Jesse, glad you got something out of it!! :)
Rarely do I find a video without some kind of garbage; this one's pure gold.
very great breakdown for a lighting-noob like me. you should price your course at least 10x for the given value!
Man Rob, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re lighting videos are hands down the most informative videos available!! Great job brother!
I appreciate it David, thank you!! Happy you're getting something out of them! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer You bet brother! I’m a Sag actor and have been on many Hollywood level movie sets. And your breakdown of lighting helps to make things make so much more sense. An avid filmmaker myself, I have a pretty vast knowledge of lighting techniques but you put a whole different spin on your presentation of it! Awesome!
@@Direct19681 That's awesome to hear that my breakdowns are helping things make more sense - I'm sure the setups of these techniques are a little more DIY than you're used to haha! But the ideas behind them I would hope are the same! And I'm glad to hear you like the way I present the ideas, that process seems to be something that intuitively makes sense to me, so I'm glad it's received well by others. Thanks so much man!! :)
Bro I came to find a filter to add on my videos and left with knowledge I thought I won’t find
I freakin' love these lighting videos, Rob. I bought the Nanlite Forza 500 because of you, and I've implemented your techniques into several videos that I've shot. Lighting is FAR more important than I ever realized, and your videos have shown that to me, resulting in an instant increase in quality of our content. Bless your face ❤
Lighting is the way of the true masters
@@nicholasboule5134 @Nicholas Boule It's crazy how every new cinematographer thinks a new shiny camera is the way of the true masters, when it's really lighting!
@@ImaginationFolder ya its just bad education and misinformation. tools are tools and saying a new tool will make you Deakins or Hoytema is frankly retarded. sorry, no other way to put it. now camera techniques and lighting techniques are the way.
And I freaking love this comment! Such a kind thing to say and I'm truly happy that my videos have helped you with your own work - and I really appreciate you letting me know this too! All the love! 🖤
this is awesome
Cheers Patrick! 😄
You’re the goat man, these vids are so useful in helping me improve and understand cinematography better!
This video was so in depth. I got much more than I was expecting. Thank you.
Thanks Rob, great video. Would having the camera set to 3200K and the lights at 4300K achieve the same thing, given the mired shift is about the same? (for Day for Night)
This is the best video explaining I've seen yet! thankyou so much! :D
El Mini Curso completo de 46 minutos +las 5 partes tiene traducción al español?
Just a quick question, I know it might be dumb, but cant we change the White balance in Post? Is it the same effect? Or we really need to set the WB on the camera first?
GREAT tutorial!! Really awesome information. It'll help me make better films.
Thanks so much, happy you enjoyed it! :)
since the talent does not move.... did you create this in post? think I'll watch this 4 or 5 more times. A real learning experince here
Wow thank you so much! One of these few moments im really thinking about to get the full version :)
i would buy your full course if you do the same with a crappy camera, like Canon t7i
This is the best video I've seen about lighting
Question, for the moon shot, when you "brought down exposure" did you do that in camera, or in post? I never know if for moonlight scenes I should have it exposed dark in camera or try and compensate in post by bringing down shadows, any pros or cons to each?
It was a while ago that I shot this, but I'm pretty sure I shot at a lower ISO to retain cleaner shadows. I've got a video on here explaining the whys and hows of that process - th-cam.com/video/AVGx-LCvSFE/w-d-xo.html - I hope that helps!
Man this is the real gem 💎 information. You gained a subscriber.
It's funny to me that I've never seen Rob talking, only heard :D BTW without doubt the best filmmaking channel on YT
Gotta maintain some kind of mystery! Haha! Thank you so much Marton, too kind! 😊
Really appreciate your videos thx
Thanks so much Sasha! :)
Why this content has a small audience? It is worthy at least 1 million subscribers, thank u bro for ur efforts.
Thanks so much man I appreciate it!! Maybe one day we'll get there haha! :)
What an Amazing video! Thank you for sharing.
Damn this helped so much. Thank youu ❤
This was a fantastic video and thank you for sharing
1:11 I heard "bouncing off a muslim material" and laughed my ass off 😂😂
Ps. You broke my brain with this image 6:09
🤣🤣 I was definitely pronouncing it wrong back then haha! Happy you enjoyed the video! :)
This is spectacular stuff - absolutely invaluable Rob! Thank you so much for this.
Guess this means that unless I'm lighting with practicals in a scene that I need to colour-match, I can get away with 5600K daylight-balanced lights for my scene and alter WB in-camera or post for the warmer tungsten look I'm after instead of necessary using bi-colour lights at 3200K?
Happy you found it useful! And absolutely - even with a practical, you could use a bulb from Nanlite or Aputure and just set it to 5600K, so if none of your other lights can balance to tungsten, you're still set to warm everything up in camera/post!
Hats off ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ best underrated youtube channel lov from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you so much!! Love from the UK! 🇬🇧 💙💙
insane amount of info
videos like these are just rare
Should be called "How to turn night into day into night", ha! Great video as always, Rob
Haha yeah that's probably a more apt title to be honest! Thank you so much! :)
one of the best channels on youtube.. thanks heaps
That was such an chill and gorgeous video...I love your Voice, so calm :)
Thank you so much! 😊
In the first example for morning sunrise time what is stopping you from using daylight lights and setting the white balance to daylight then change it in post, instead of in camera. Since I film in slog 3 10bit isn’t that enough info to just adjust your white balance in post?
You can absolutely do that! That's the great thing about raw video. But often you might want to view your image as close to the final product as possible in camera, so you don't get any unwelcome surprises if and when you adjust in post. Especially if we start mixing colour temperatures - if we can't see roughly how the colours are going to turn out we're not really in control of the image. If we only had daylight lights for the sunrise shot, we could have done the same thing as we did with the 3600k and push the white balance up a couple thousand K to see what it looks like warmed up/confirm it's looking how we need it to!
@@RobEllisCinematographer thanks for the response! Love your videos was just experimenting with it in my studio for the past two hours and your right. It seemed I had a better looking night/moonlight look whenever I set the white balance in camera then in post brought down the exposure and shadows. I tried doing daylight only and moving around the white balance in post and it didn’t seem to have the right look.
Great information. I went ahead and bought the course. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your support!! I hope you enjoy the full video! :)
Very good video. But how do you manage all of this with a film and not a digital camera? With CTO or CTB?
Yes! Or shoot on daylight film stock or tungsten film stock. Much of what makes digital useful are things like Raw and easily adjustable elements like white balance in post production. But it's all doable on film - just requires you to think about getting everything right in camera!
Literally the best on youtube for cinema techniques. when are you dropping a film?
Thanks so much Nicholas! I'd need free time to do that haha! :) one day in the near future, I hope!
These lighting series are the best I've seen on youtube (and I've seen a few). Subscribed!
Thank you so much! It's always appreciated! :)
This guy knows lighting :) New sub !
Damn this is so goooood explain 👏👏👏 🍻
dont work harder! work smarter ! ❤
Thank you
You continue to blow me away every time, as someone who wants to be a filmmaker, I can not tell you how much I’ve learnt and benefited from your content. Never stop, thank you for these
Thank you so much for your kind words and it's awesome to hear how much my work has helped you! It makes doing these videos worth it! So thank you!! 😊
i'm gonna try this when i got home. thank you for sharing your knowledge about lights.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!! 😄
Dude, this was amazing!
This video has helped my understanding of lighting for day and night immensely. Now I have to find a way to represent that on our low budget with 3x 40W LED panels and 2x 11W LED lights.
I just bought your course and will be eagerly watching the third episode. Also, finally some TH-cam videos that fit on my 21:9 screen without black bars on the side.
Happy to hear the video has helped and I very much appreciate your support - I hope part 3 also helped in some way! Thank you so much! 😄
Shalom
Brilliant
Thanks
such good content! thanks!
Beautiful video man
This is amazing 💯
You Rob Ellis are a good professional and you know how to teach the details in a very exemplary way, keep it up. Does your course have more minutes?
Thank you so much Elias! The course has an exclusive Part 3 which takes a look at measuring colour temperature :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer We viewers would love for you to continue on You Tube with the wonderful teachings about cinematic lighting
Was searching for this kind of tutorial for long time.
Happy you found it here! :)
youre awesome
Always great content. Thank you
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying it! :)
Very clean video
Awesome work.
You are an inspiration
fantastic transition
You're so good at explaining things along with visual representation my dude such great content man
Always happy to hear this as I always get a little anxious I haven't explained and shown as clearly as I can - so I appreciate it!! Thank you so much! 😄
