Powerful lights are extremely useful tools - in part 1 of this little series, we'll have a look into a few reasons why they can be useful, utilizing daylight as a part of our lighting setups. It can be difficult to think of a 2 grand lighting unit as affordable - but if we think about the amount of money that goes into new cameras, lenses, and rigs, it's not hard to see that a pricier, powerful light, is an amazing investment for a low budget filmmaker - opening up your lighting options considerably and allowing you to better achieve your vision. We'll be exploring this topic more in depth in future parts! :)

So many lighting vids, but this channel is the most informative, practical, and useful I've been able to find. Kudos!
Wow thank you so much, I appreciate it!!
completely agree! Rob is awesome at explaining these techniques. Also refreshing to not just be all about Aputure!
Same
I agree
@@RobEllisCinematographer Was this shot on the Lumix S5? Also what is your opinion on the camera? What made you switch?
Day for night can be TRICKY and you did a REALLY nice job with it. The intro sequence had some Gregory Crewdson vibes... Loved it!
Wow, I love Gregory Crewdson, that has made my night haha! Thank you so much! :)
As a up and coming filmmaker/videographer, I appreciate you explaining your lighting techniques in depth and explaining why and how you do certain things and also telling us about light and how it works. Very very well done, probably the best stuff I've seen.
I'm in love with the on screen diagrams - amazing video!!
Thank you so much Adam, glad they're working well! :D
Me too!
I don't do cinematography, but I do photography and your channel teaches me a LOT
Thanks!

I ALWAYS forget that Day for Night is a thing until I see it done. Incredible video boss.
Day for night is such a great tool if you don't have the budget to close off entire areas and fly huge bounce balloons in the sky haha! Thanks so much Peter!

best lighting channel on youtube by far. And man, what a powerful light that is.
Thanks so much! :) it is quite something!
Your channel has become on of the most useful channels for filmmaking lately, really appreciating the knowledge you're sharing with everyone 🤘
Thank you so much and I'm glad you're getting a lot out of my videos :)
I always come to your videos to have my mind blown away. I've said this before, brother: you're a damn genius. You and Jacques Crafford together be would the best production company in the world.
This video is honestly incredible. So informative and SO high quality! Hats off to you Rob!
Thanks Adam, glad to know it's informative, sometimes I feel like I haven't explained enough haha!

Gold! Thank you.
Thanks so much!
I just started working on my first short, thanks for all the lessons, keep em coming!!👍😁
Absolutely man, will do! Thanks for your support! And good luck with the short! :D
@@RobEllisCinematographer thanks 😁
That's amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! :D
Great great great! So inspiring just seeing the simple shots of you on the sofa. Makes me want to make short films using lighting properly! I'm guilty of all the other content creators - just slap a large softbox on a light and away you go. But this is simply stunning the results you get. Cinematic gold!
That's awesome that it's inspiring you, super glad to hear that! Nothing wrong with a simple softbox setup for soft light! :) but always good to experiment and learn other ways to light, absolutely! Thanks so much James!
This is soooo.... good! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! :)
This is the first convincing day to night I see in years... Movies (made with dollar$$$) included. Excellent job!
Thank you so much Mattia!
Love this🙌🏽
Happy to hear that, thank you!! :)
this is amazing!!!
Cheers Luke! :D
Fantastic tutorial!
Thank you! :)
Dude you're a gem. LOVE from India.
Thank you so much man, love right back from the UK!
That opening scene! That blue wash on that overhead shot in the bed is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!! Just simple window light too! :D
@@RobEllisCinematographer Yes, I love the simplicity of your setup. Too many times do I think about trying to use ALL of my equipment. More efficient planning on the front-end, like what you are showing here is a great reminder of how setups can be simple and achieve very great results for the look/feel.
Amazing use of a cloudy day! Well done 👍
Crazy what you can do with natural light with the right tools! Thank you so much! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer it blew my mind when you revealed you shot those exteriors during the day 🤯
Another masterclass by Rob Ellis! You are a genius with light bro! Light years ahead of 90% of youtube (no pun intended).
Thanks so much man! :) there are plenty better than me I'm sure! :D but I really appreciate it :)
Fantastic tipps, many thanks :)
Absolutely, thank you! :)
Love the content, thank you!
Glad to hear! Thank you so much! :)
Fantastic video!
Thanks Tommy! :)

Thank you so much! :)
MAN YOURE A LEGEND REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDS YOU WILL BE AN OSCAR WINNER IN FUTURE
Haha I don't think I'll ever quite get there :D but thank you so much for the kind words man it really means a lot!
Would love to see the breakdown tutorial on how to grade for night like you did. You amazing men
moviola.com/technique/day-for-night-with-rob-ellis-davinci-resolve-tutorial/ - ;) thank you so much!
Damn this is good!
Most legit cinematography channel on TH-cam
Aah man there are plenty on here more legit than me! ;) Thank you so much though it really means a lot! :)
The Forza lights are so dope! Cool day for night demo. Fury Road had a whole scene shot like this (in the wasteland), looks awesome.
They are! Thank you! :) absolutely, the Fury Road day for night gets some flack but personally I bloody loved it!
This is brilliant
Thanks so much! :)
Informative, generous, educational. Thanks!
Thank you so much! :)
You are Such inspiration ♥️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! ❤
Keep Going im never missed a video ♥️
Brilliant, simple & articulate as always 🎥👍🏻👍🏻💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks so much! Glad it's all coming through clearly! :D
@@RobEllisCinematographer Serious work, seriously committed to the craft.👍🏻💪🏼💪🏼🎥
@@RobEllisCinematographer Crystal !!! Have been looking for someone like yourself to spell it out without all the industry BS & Hype. Your Channel is really one of a kind. Patreon your work & make them masterclasses. They are vital & worth it to a growing film community of future film makers.
i always learn so much from your channel rob! would you consider making a video to achieve a daylight look while still keeping the lights inside? i dont know much about lighting or whats possible haha but it would be so helpful for those in small spaces or not being able to rig a light from outside. always love your techniques & you give the best advice!!
Happy to hear that! :) one of my previous videos on fill light sort of covers this - th-cam.com/video/0qWkaCCxEtw/w-d-xo.html - but it might be nice to make a video more specifically aimed at using lights inside for a daylight look - I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion! And thank you for the kind words! :D
Just to let you know,one of your tutorials has been shared in Cinematography.com forum by a great DOP. It's a great forum with some of the most renowned DOPs out there in it. Felt proud to be a subscriber from very begining .
Wow really? That's awesome! I regularly lurk on the forums but I've never actually become a member! Do you have a link to the post? Would love to check it out! And I really appreciate it man, thank you so much for your support, it means a lot!! :)
Yes ,here . I only rely on this forum otherwise I try to take the best out of TH-cam.
cinematography.com/index.php?/topic/86532-deakins-cove-lighting-possible-with-led/
yes dude I adore you
Haha thanks so much!
subscribed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was sold by the opener.
Thank you so much for the sub! That's great to hear!! :)
The Leylines - fun band ! Nice work as always!
Thank you so much! :) I don't see them in this video though?! Haha! Definitely have been in some previous videos of mine though!
Felt like I needed to meditate or do yoga while watching. Great video, great content, and great ch'i.
Also, there's an audio error/glitch at 6:08 (maybe a few seconds before or after.)
Haha fantastic! I try to create a mood to fit the video, but also to take in the information, I quite like the fact you've likened it to meditation! Thanks so much! I hadn't noticed the audio glitch, oops!
Ah! You got me with the shed exterior shot. I was going "How the Hell did he get such nice ambient light - fake moon?" Nice!
Haha ;) crazy what you can do with light! Thank you so much!
Very interesting thanks
love your dungeon zelda boss's key
very informative and usefull .Thanks !
Thank you, happy you found it useful!! :)
Just as I'm looking at VL300's and Amaran 200d's hahah, you're a legend man!
Haha thanks man! It's a damn good time for affordable, powerful lights!!
Thank you
I feel like I should be paying to watch this channel. Damn.
Haha thank you so much! :)
Let me be very clear and say that this was my first time ever watching this channel, and I straight up thought this opening sequence was from a movie.
I REALLY want a light like this. I can't wait to get my hands on one to figure out more about lighting. Thank you for this video. So good.
Wow that's awesome, thank you so much, really! :) it's always difficult to see your own work as a legitimate thing, if that makes sense, so super appreciative of comments like this! Absolutely, powerful lights open up a lot of different ways to light :D
@@RobEllisCinematographer that makes perfect sense! I think we all struggle with that, if even a little.
Now just to drop $1,500 on this light 😂
@@RobEllisCinematographer Just wanted to let you know that I just bought the Nanlite Forza 500 off BH Photo! I can't wait to use it and try some of the things you were showing in this video. Again, thanks so much for enlightening us on how valuable strong lighting is. :)
Master 🙏🏽
Master is a push! ;) but thank you so much!! :)
So good
Thanks so much! :D
Simply amazing!
Thanks Bo! And I really appreciate you going through and watching my work, thank you so much! :D
@@RobEllisCinematographer Don't thank me, thank you for your impressive work! And just a side note: Do you make voice-overs?
@@Bo_Hazem I appreciate it! I don't do any voice over stuff, just these TH-cam videos! :)
@@RobEllisCinematographer I'm so thirsty for more of your top tier videos! I'll keep watching the rest but this video was simply shocking! We get this overcast weather during June-September here so might try something myself one day using your amazing tricks. I really hope you the best and would love to know if you have any Sony LUT's for DaVinci Resolve! I have an a7S III.
That intro was so good, hereditary vibes
Ha thank you so much Jorge! What a film!
More more more!!!
More to come :D
