What I like the most about this breakdown is that theses scenes looks really cinematic but the lighting is minimum, proving that you don’t really need big setups and even we could try something like that by learning where to put the lights. Bring some more, I wanna keep learning!
The number of lights might by minimal, but I'm not sure I'd call a 12x frame with crate, pushed up against a wall, and therefore probably lit by several expensive panels, or one massive flex LED, a lightweight setup achievable by your typical indie filmmaker!
@@zoanyway I'd say the point really is just seeing the simple concepts used here which can be recreated for any interior daylight scenes, where you don't need super complex setups. Sure, the gear might be out of reach of tiny budgets, but that can be addressed by limiting the scope of your shots (not doing enormous wide shots or long, moving master shots) and "cheating" a lot in your close-ups. Also, rental exists for a reason ;)
Honestly I really love your chill demeanour. It is a breath of fresh air, seeing as other filmmaking-youtubers are the embodiment of hype, while the actual content is drowning. Every video is an inspiration! Keep it up!
Yes, these breakdowns are always helpful. I have gotten into the habit of studying available light everywhere I go, as if I had to shoot with it or recreate it. I have to get in the habit of analyzing film scenes as you have done in these videos. Finding BTS for reference helps, but it’s a good exercise even without BTS.
I'm gonna try out the "light from below catchlight" strategy as soon as the opportunity presents itself. This stuff is so amazing man, can't thank you enough for putting it together.
I love these types of episodes. It’s always nice to see others’ work and compare them to your own, especially when they are established in their craft and in the industry. It’s a great measure for yourself.
To answer your last question: this is absolutely definitely something I'm interesting in watching. Pretty sure I'm not on my own either. Keep them coming!
I would love a video from you about "good planning". Would be great to get your experience on best practices to plan light design for maximum flexibility.
Super interesting! I loved the insights about how the planning and logistics of the shoot played into the decisions. Like splitting the two 4x4 frames to make it easier to transition to a different set up. This is something that I don't take into consideration nearly enough.
Loved the break down man.... been getting into more lighting techniques and love seeing how these big projects control light in these larger spaced scenes.

Exactly, more please!
Absolutely
True but also the cams and lenses they use are top of the line, plus the film is graded by pros which compensates a lot imo

I love to see a lot more of this.It gives a great insight into the planning and the how to keep the changes from setup to setup minimum.
