Kinetek is honestly the best filmmaking and cinematography channel on youtube, this I'm saying after browsing TH-cam for the last 8yrs to study filmmaking. Matthew Rosen is like a guru to me now. Thank you!
This only adds to one of my personal rules that I've formed ever since I complained about the over-use of shallow depth of field with larger-sensor cameras: *backgrounds are important too.* Backgrounds are arguably more important than the subject, as they provide thousands of words worth of exposition without uttering a single one.
This technique is so multifaceted in terms of the mood you create. I do this in my photography a lot of the time. Essentially you're shooting into your lighting and often that gives you quite a nice glow and haze which I love. As mentioned, it also lets you bounce back however much light you want with little effort.
I have enjoyed the informative videos you have previously done. You have been publishing more regularly and I truly appreciate the craft of your videos. Thank you.
Thank you Matthew for sharing your extensive knowledge and expertise with us. Your videos are an excellent dive into lighting, and create a great jumping off point for experimenting with lighting.
So much bad information out there by people who have next to zero credentials. This gentleman is so refreshing with his straight to the point personal, minus the blowhard factor
the only thing that I do not like about the back light is that red color of the ears resembles me like mice is there something to avoid it? maybe you put self-adhesive aluminum foil behind the ears hehe greetings
Yes, I'm agree. Could look weird sometimes. And you're not that far off. Recently heard a gaffer talking about it. And he simply puts some hand cut piece of black gaffer tape behind the ears. That's it.
Nice video. I do want to note that there are other ways of creating separation, such as lighting the background when the subject is dark, or relying on depth of field. Backlight is not always needed. Every time a director asks me for a backlight when shooting with a white background I facepalm.
Also, separation isn't always wanted! Sometimes a subject blending into the background may give subtext relative to the script/story. Or it may just be visually interesting
It is a myth that we see depth. The eyes are too close for that. We are not seeing any depth when we are looking at a canyon or a landscape. There is no 3d effect at these distances, and even in much shorter distances. We perceive 3d from motion that reveals the form and distances through the 2d geometry changes we perceive. Cinematographers separate for compositional reasons, not to recreate something that is lost due to the flat screen. 3d photography/cinematography is also an exaggeration and an artificiality. When you look down from an airplane, you are seeing 2d images. When an engineer in the past looked at two different photos taken at great distances from the same plane using one eye for each image, the 3d effect helped to perceive the form of the landscape, but it was not realistic in any way.
Hi I just wanted to say that there is something I don't like about your film that you made but I don't know what it is. It seems very static. When I look at your scenes there is nothing there that holds my attention. It seems very desaturated to the point where it seems halfway between color and black and white. This may be what you intended to do but I'm not a fan of that look. It looks like a botched color grade to me. I don't know. I'm not trying to bash your movie and don't mean any disrespect. I just thought I'd leave some feedback.
@PRIVATE I'm more of a fan of independent movies. There are lots of great independent film makers with relatively small budgets making incredibly beautiful films today. It may be the British style that I'm not into. I haven't watched this guys movie all the way through. I've only seen the clips he's shown on his channel.

Some movies are visually satisfying. This video mini-documentary goes a long way to explaining one reason why. Well done.
Love the way you explain tutorial with digram, We are waiting more video like this ... thank you.
That woman's face at the end is like mine... Joyful tears for another Matt Rosen lesson!
Very informative. One of the best filmmaking channels. Showing real cinematic technique, not just cheap coats of paint

Your videos are so, so, so good and it´s a pleasure to hear someone who have the experience and wants to share it. Thank you.
Your tutorials are just beautiful. Thanks for this

Once again, outstanding work! -In my case quite timely; I was just discussing how effective backlighting is critical with my own crew last night!
I've been learning a lot from Direk Matthew since 2010! Thank you direk! 🔥🙏
so much new information, thank you so much!!
Started shooting my first film this week end.The info I learned here served me well.
Thank you Matthew for sharing your extensive knowledge and expertise with us. Your videos are an excellent dive into lighting, and create a great jumping off point for experimenting with lighting.
As always, thank you very much Matthew.
Thank you for the precise Presententaion ..very helpful
Excellent walkthrough. Thanks for this.
Thank you for great demo. Footage looks great!

We want you add many posts because really your work is very awesome and you do not use expensive gear
So much bad information out there by people who have next to zero credentials. This gentleman is so refreshing with his straight to the point personal, minus the blowhard factor
Wow man Thank you
Awesome, we want to see the materials you bulit the rig system from it , how do you rig it
What techniques do you use in high key scenes?
Well lit and well shot....But it would have been appreciable if the DoP would have shared details about lighting levels in f-stops and ISO settings.
Beautiful. Subscribed! Still I want to know how did you color graded the movie. It looks like a bleached bypass to me...
LEGEND ❤️❤️
Thaaank you for teachingme
❤❤
Magnificent

Tape the ears.
Sounds like some rock song :)
Why you stop uploading I m new to your chanel and I want more plz come back to TH-cam videos! Anyways great work my friend.
Does anyone know the source of the song that plays between 4:04 - 4:30? If it isnt original score music I would love to hear it in its entirety.
I would like to see that film you did how or where can I watch it?
Nice video. I do want to note that there are other ways of creating separation, such as lighting the background when the subject is dark, or relying on depth of field. Backlight is not always needed. Every time a director asks me for a backlight when shooting with a white background I facepalm.

Kindly may you add a link to the film teaser
I would hire him but have no money.😁
