    You know what I like about this guy? His business model has him selling his instructional videos to the world's best film schools.
    He's an award-winning director and cinematographer.
    I don't know how these TH-camrs who call themselves experts in filmmaking who are anything but have such gigantic TH-cam channels when his guys like this on here I wish you'd put out more TH-cam content and blow them away because he's actually a real teacher a true professional

    Very educational post! When I imagine that EVERY scene has to be prepared so intensively, I literally get dizzy.
    Luckily, my (micro) projects usually only have one or two perspectives. But I'm thinking about whether I shouldn't shed more (better) light on the matter. ☀️

    Gaffers tape is for attaching stuff to or marking your OWN equipment. Artist's Paper Tape is for taping stuff to walls and floors on location. Gaffers tape will remove paint and destroy the finish on hardwood floors. I use only the professional grade gaffers tape and have destroyed a trade show floor with it. Paper tape all the way. Otherwise, a great tutorial.

    • @FilmSkills
      @FilmSkills  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's exactly right, but if you don't have paper tape, in a pinch you can tear off a piece of gaffers tape from the roll then stick and unstick it to your jeans a few times. This will make it much less sticky and won't pull off the paint or surface.

    Very nice and detail video, its rare to find such great tutorial on youtube.
    In my opinion the thing that could have made this shot even better and is a great way to improve every shot is a little more color temperature contrast. Maybe put your camera on like 4000k for the overall image to be a little cooler, and put the key light on 6000k to warm up the subjet and make him pop out the frame.
    It is not a critic for the video but an advice for helping beginners cinematographers.

  • @OfficialTornadoboy
    @OfficialTornadoboy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great tutorial/breakdown but I was wondering why you couldn’t position the diffusion frame at an angle to his face to create the shape and contrast rather than adding another light?

    • @FilmSkills
      @FilmSkills  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The choice wasn't to simply add more light, but to sculpt it. The first light source through the 4x4 frame was to create the key light and set the proper brightness for the actor's skin tones. The second side light was to sculpt the light to create a more three-dimensional feel. This is a technique I often use to make the lighting look more natural and less like a typical three-point lighting set-up.

      I wouldn’t. You never know if the monitor is properly calibrated. If it’s too bright, you will be underexposing all your shots. If it’s too dark, you will be overexposing them.

    Chromatic aberration were noticable throughout the shot. Was it there deliberately or as an artifact created by Rokinon lenses?

    • @FilmSkills
      @FilmSkills  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, no, I didn't intentionally add the chromatic aberration. The Rokinon DS series lenses are OK when you're working in the middle 2/3 of the aperture range, but anything more open than a 2.8 or closed more than an f11 gets a little sloppy. In this demo, you can really see the chromatic aberration in the high contrast areas like the edges of the windows.
      I also found that Rokinon's 14 and 16mm lenses are really soft when you're wide open. They definitely have their limitations, but considering how cheap they are for cine primes, the tradeoff is worth it, especially if you know the lenses' limitations.
