Part 1 of looking into a few ways we can light a small space on a budget. I'm hoping this little series will help people to think about the ways in which this can be achieved and be able to build on these ideas.
Mirrors and mirror board are great tools for bouncing hard light where you can't fit a whole lighting unit - there's a variety of applications for using mirrors in your lighting and in this video we can see how it helps to add a light "shooting through" the window, where we would otherwise have no tools to put a light outside of it. Now as with anything, this isn't perfect - depending on the size of the mirror, distance of light from that mirror and distance of mirror from blinds - it's tricky to light up a bigger area. But for close ups and detailed shots as shown in the video, this sort of thing can save you in a pinch if you have absolutely no way to put a light out of that window!

Only took me 4 years to find youtubers that focus on actual usable lighting tips, not just three point lighting. Thank you
Thank you Isaac!!
Respect for the way you were able to turn a limitation (lighting within small bedroom) into a quiet masterclass on the aesthetic awareness, detail-orientation and manual creativity of experienced light workers
Thank you so much for the kind words. It's crazy what you can do with lighting when you sit down and think about it, there's many possibilities and workarounds to get things done on a budget :)
7 dislikes? Who dislikes pro tips? This was fantastic btw. Thank you for sharing, Rob.
Right. Just trolls is all.
TH-cam put me on trending - I've been deleting bot comments and watching my dislikes balloon upwards for 24 hours haha. Thank you so much! :)
I agree! Great tips! Why dislike? Jealous
Wanna know who? Idiots do.
@@RobEllisCinematographer how can you tell bot from non bot?
This man is single handedly making explosive stuff. Absolutely what I wanted rn.
Im learning so much from your videos, seriously no one is doing lighting tutorials like you. easy to understand and amazing results. i have a small room and this was so perfect. please keep going and i hope you turn this into a series!! i can't wait for part 2 !! :)
I'm watching a lot of "cinema channels". Found yours recently and absolutely love the way you teach. Super helpful.
Thank you so much! :)
I absolutely love this breakdown and how you presented all of the issues like being on the second floor. This was incredible. Subbed
These light shaping techniques are gold. Simple household items that turn into useful tools. Thank you
Please never stop. I'm learning so much. 😭♥️
Loved this quick, effective breakdown of making bigger lighting setups more accessible for smaller productions, great work Rob!
I'm finding this channel really helpful! I've been editing professionally for just over 10 years and recently decided I wanted to start shooting my own stuff, but without going overboard on loads of kit. These vids have been really useful!
Diagram plus practical example is the best way one can teach lighting thanks for putting in so much efforts. One of the best channels I've stumbled upon.
Brilliant, thank you so much for sharing your pro tips! 🙏🏻
Excellent!!! 👏👏👏
Cinematography often demands to build our own accessories, like the pioneers of cinema.
Many of the equipment and accessories that we find in the market are designed many times by cinematographers and staff of the lighting and grips departments.
So, if we are smart, we can make a snoot and adapt it to our lights, also cookie, sandbags, gobos, flats, diffuser frames, apple boxes and more and save a lot of money !!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! 👍👍👍😊
The mirror idea is so perfect! I can't believe I never thought of that before. THANK YOU! I am actually having the exact same issue where I need to light a bedroom and the bedroom is on the 3rd floor but I want moonlight shining in with blinds streaking across and the mirror method just solved that.
I’ll never understand why people go out of their way to dislike? Makes zero sense. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this video. It’s some good pro tips.
TH-cam put me on trending - I've been deleting bot comments for 24 hours and watching my dislikes shoot up haha! Thanks Noah!
@@RobEllisCinematographer Hey rob loving every video since i've found you. You have plenty of lights, can you make a video on which are the most essential and you can buy on a budget? thanks for your videos !
this channel is amazing, i had no idea of the light effect in cinematics shots, but Rob explains it so good! Thank you!
Great video. Even greater solution to tight spaces lighting
I really love how you put together your videos. I've been looking for a channel that doesn't have any fluff and doesn't waste my time at the beginning of the video. Yours are informative and to the point without feeling rushed. I feel as though i could follow along with your videos and produce amazing work. Thank you for your videos, i'm really glad to have found tutorials that are straightforward that i don't have to skip through.
Thank you for the kind words! Absolutely, I get so frustrated with videos where I have to skip through the fluff too, so I try my best to avoid that and just stick to the info! Glad my videos have come across that way and are helping! :)
Lol. I just noticed I had already commented before. Simply genius
You know what you do. Sound simple, but it´s no usual to find people like that. Thanks.
I really enjoy your grading in those tutorials. Very cinematic.
I love this series!
Hey man!
Really love those breakdowns! I'm learning and haven't thought using mirrors that way!
Wish you the best.
This was just amazing! I stumbled across part 2 and had to come back for part 1. Always wondered how smaller LED panels and lights can be achieved to create cinematic lighting effects. This has upped my understanding of light. Thank you!
Happy to hear you've learned something from the video, thank you so much - I appreciate it! :)
I'm learning a lot from your channel!!! Appreciate how you are putting quality content here. Not everyone would give such in depth information for free. I hope you get more subscribers. Just thank you for the great knowledge you are sharing with us. You are a talented teacher👏

I've just stumbled upon your channel last week and you have the best explanations of cinematic lighting that actually look KILLER.

I feel like I am listening to a story! You would have a great audiobook voice. Love the channel.
