Great explanation thank you! I was struggling to figure out the right white balance for a warm scene the other day and this explains how I should of been thinking about it. Thank you! More breakdowns like this please 💫
Hi there! 👋 I’ve been seriously considering purchasing the "Cinematic Lighting Foundations Masterclass" 🎥, but before making the leap, I’d love some clarity on what the course includes. Specifically, does it focus on practical, on-set demonstrations-where you show how lighting is positioned and the exact equipment being used during filming? Or is it more of a talking-head explanation style? Personally, I find real behind-the-scenes, on-set footage much more engaging and valuable for learning, as it really helps me feel like I’m right there with you in the process. 🔦🎬 To be honest, I’m less interested in post-taping discussions or just theoretical explanations. I’m looking for content that dives straight into the practical execution-seeing how everything is set up, step by step, as it happens. If the course leans heavily towards practical demonstrations, I’m absolutely ready to pull the trigger! 💥 However, I noticed that there’s no clear information on the website about how the content is visually presented. While the mention of real case studies is great, it’s unclear whether the videos include behind-the-scenes footage, on-location demonstrations, or if they mostly focus on theory. Adding these details to the website would be such a huge plus in terms of clarity and would help potential buyers like me make a confident decision. 🙌 Thanks so much in advance for shedding light on this! Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Alex
Hey Alex! You got it bang on. Module 1 and 2 are all live walk throughs, step by step with Zach on set as he makes all of his decisions around lighting unique scenes. Interviews, commercial, narrative scenes. He dives into exactly all of his thoughts, why he’s making decisions, and how to adjust on the fly. We also walk you through all of our exact frameworks so you can repeat this across all of your productions. I think you’re going to love this course based on your criteria. The only talking head is in module 3 and 4 where it’s a bit more technical on budgeting and planning, but the rest is all hands on. Really hope to see you in the course! We think you’re going to love it. Stay tuned on our channel tomorrow, we have a sneak peak on our TH-cam. It’s an hour long location scout video where Zach walks through everything surrounding how to location scout etc. Also thanks for the note about website clarity, I’ll make sure to update the website to reflect the hands on - step by step walk through live on set. Appreciate you!
Just discovered your channel and am loving it so far! Really great images! I'd love to hear a bit about the color grading process on the detective piece from the beginning of this vid and the therapist piece from your "shooting a dialogue scene" video! Such rich colors and tones in both! Subscribed!
I love that you are using black skin as your example to explain contrast … I honestly feel cameras are not made for black skinned people , and it’s so enlightening to see you actually doing it with black skin. Thank you
Thanks, definitely requires practice and understanding of lighting skin. But we are often filming black skin which we find looks best on camera. Thanks for watching!
@@TenfoldProduction I shoot and edit videos for my clients so the really in depth study on light and placement is awesome. I think knowing how to do these with less access to gear or with limited gear would be helpful too. I usually have the budget to rent a camera, 2 lenses and one or two lights. Super dope stuff tho. Very glad I found your channel.
Great stuff as usual! With changing the white balance in camera, I find the skin tones can get affected sometimes. How do you manage with this? Do you rely on the grade?
Tough one! If you have no lights whatsoever, definitely something stronger like the 600 bi colour, Nanlite 500B / bicolour. You can do a lot to shape light with more powerful lights. That plus maybe an Amaran f22. Super versatile combo.
Typically, if you're going for a specific colour look , RGB will be the easiest for your to monitor on set and for post to push around. If it's not there in monitor, it'll be much harder to change in post.
I still believe this is about movie (movie). Instead of talking through everything we can actually intercut with the finished result in full screen. We can visualize better that way of what is been talked about. It feels like radio honestly (with due respect).
Amazing, how the 1st thought is: wow, I'll get SUCH image just by applying their magic LUT. Too bad it turned out as always NOT the way you thought it would be.
Great explanation thank you! I was struggling to figure out the right white balance for a warm scene the other day and this explains how I should of been thinking about it. Thank you! More breakdowns like this please 💫
Thanks for the Feedback Peter! We have some great breakdowns coming soon. Appreciate you
This is extremely advanced for a newbie like me, yet it is very intriguing to learn right away. Much obliged!
this looks so beautiful! I saw the first two shots and I’m like whoa I am in 🔥
Thanks Benjamin! Appreciate you
magnifying glass shot is so sick
Thanks! Appreciate you

This is Gold, thank you.
@@elfilmslike appreciate you!
Always solid quality content and good tips for cinematography. Keep it up!
Thanks! Appreciate you
I am in love with your work man

Extremely foolish opinion
Camera sensors are grey gamma based and Rgb gamma etc.. my opinion dark skins way amazing how sensor reads
@@cliffordtemple6751 thank you 😊
Always have great content. So informative and useful. Thank you!
Thanks Slam! Appreciate you
Dope and informative!
Thanks Jerrald! Would love to know what you’re looking to learn more about

The white balance orange and blue shot just blew my mind 😂
this video is gold thank you
Thanks so much for watching! We have a ton of great breakdowns and live on set projects coming soon.
Great Video!!!! Question are you recording in any flat profiles and using LUTS as you shoot or just looking at the cameras internal color profile?
Recording in Log, but usually viewing rec 709 or a lut.
Keep doing these light videos, are tooooooo interest, thanks :,)
Appreciate you!
Great stuff as usual! With changing the white balance in camera, I find the skin tones can get affected sometimes.
How do you manage with this? Do you rely on the grade?
Love this
Thanks Andre!
Such a great tutorial packed with value
Thanks so much, appreciate you for watching!
Killer way to think about white balance.
lol true
This is so informative! You've got a new subscriber 🤌
Thanks so much for supporting!
Thank you 🙏🏿, Godbless 🙌 you nailed it
Appreciate you! Glad it was helpful
What was the aperture of the newspaper scene if you wont mind 😅
Close to 2.8-4
What is the one light to rule them all? (aka most versatile in your opinion)
Tough one! If you have no lights whatsoever, definitely something stronger like the 600 bi colour, Nanlite 500B / bicolour. You can do a lot to shape light with more powerful lights. That plus maybe an Amaran f22. Super versatile combo.
@@TenfoldProduction awesome, thanks! I have been really enjoying your breakdowns btw 🤙🏽
so do you shoot in log or any other format?
Hey Miko, we always shoot in log!
Thank you for this information 🙌🤝
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you 🙏
Thank you 😊
i love you bro!!!!
Thanks 🙏
This channel 🔥🙏🏿🎥
Appreciate you!
When using Bi-color lights would you say color is added through great production design? Rather than using RGB lights?
Typically, if you're going for a specific colour look , RGB will be the easiest for your to monitor on set and for post to push around. If it's not there in monitor, it'll be much harder to change in post.
i just found another magician
I thought the higher the kelvin the warmer the light?
you got it backwards bud daylight = 5600k tungsten (warm) =3200k it is basically blue at 10.000k
@@Max_filmatic_music thank you, I really had mix up! 😅

mystic mushrooms
Wow Tiwa
Thanks!
You shot for tiwa savage?
Yeah a music video a while back!
Why is Tiwa Savage your thumbnail?
Zach shot the music video for that one with Tiwa.
@@TenfoldProduction oh I'm a go watch it now
Thanks for replying 🙂 I didn't expect any
Oops it's not out yet?
@@malcreator it is, somewhere out there haha! Zach coloured this thumbnail
I literally clicked because i saw tiwa savage but i gained a lot
Haha appreciate you. Zach shot the Tiwa shot a while back, and was a great example so it worked out well.
