Cinematographer Casey McBeath joins Ted Sim in the studio to setup some of the softest lighting Hollywood has to offer. We discuss the factors that contribute to softer lighting and we demonstrate two of the best lighting setups that famous cinematographers, like Roger Deakins, use - the book light and the cove light.

That white balance tip was mindblowing!
Creativity unlocked!
Funny both set wrong. Left to worm, right to cold
So great! And it makes me LOL when Ted's enthusiasm tests the limits of the sound guy - "OK!" Keep being you, Ted!
Learnt a lot from you Curtis Judd, love & hugs for u bro!
@@SHAYARISHADOWS ❤️
hahaha I was about to say I wish the sound design was as good as the lighting...
14:32 Sound guy is unhappy here 😅
I thought it was nice at book light then ya'll hit me with the cove lighting and I was thoroughly impressed
I love how humble Ted is, doing all kinds of hoop and twists to make we forget he FREAKING OWNS APUTURE. Go ahead, Ted, all youtubers use the Light Dome ii. You might as well. Just use your WONDERFUL LIGHTS, we want to see them in action!
Is This true?! He hasn’t even dropped the name at all out anything!
Ted doesn’t own Aputure. He is president of their US operations.
This 15 minute video covers so much about lighting in film. Blows my mind every time, great content!
love how you give all these different examples, gives me a lot to think about now that I know different practical options and the benefits to each one.
One of the best tutorials on lighting I've ever seen! Thanks so much!
Seriously so good video. Finally something informative with solid examples and reasoning behind the choices.
Wow! Kudos for answering these questions in a very thorough manner. You asked a lot of questions, which helped elaborate on the answers. Awesome content! i really learned a couple things. Thank you :D
I loved this so much, it's very fun to learn about all these different lightning techniques, I love all the soft lighting effects especially the book light, and the cove are so cool
Two of my favourite people in one episode, talking about the subject I really love learning about! Doesn't eat much better than this 🙂
Thank you!!
Oh damn! I just found this in my recommended. I remember watching Indy Mogul so long ago, I think it was just one guy who did effects in his backyard for really cheap, and there was a puppet or something. I'm surprised to see it still going!
I love this video. With you guys explanation, it makes cinematic lighting that much more achievable. Thank you!! I will be practicing this!!!
That was so good and really helped me. I'll be trying out the "Book light" and "Cove light"
i've been practicing that cove light a lot. I love it!
You guys are amazing! Watching u always helps me to improve! Love & hugs bro!
WOW - so cool - we loved this -- such a professional presentation and GREAT energy - best video we have watched on lighting - thank you
i love how informational this video was, especially cause I am gonna start a shoot tomorrow
Thank you SO FREAKING MUCH. These are the best tutorials I've found.
Amazing stuff guys! I am immensely grateful that I found this channel.
Thank you, this was highly educational. I really appreciate the comparison at the end of all the different methods you demonstrated.
SO GOOD!! So many examples all jammed up into one video. So educational. Thank you!!
Love it. So easy to digest these traditional concepts
I was pretty aware of everything until the softbox and then I wondered why there was still so much video left. Because of the really cool stuff that came afterwards! Awesome!
Love you guys! Keep up the awesome work! You help keep my filmmaking spirit sparking!
I wish I would have found this when I first looked up "how to do video lighting". Perfect tutorial, best invested 15min of my TH-cam Day. Good job guys!
"Every crease in it is a crease in my soul" LOL
You guys are undefeated with the amount of particle information you all provide in these videos
Thank you for catching them! It’s so easy to keep discussing all the little thoughts and small things to consider
Great tutorial. I'd love to see one on lighting a scene with lots of blocking.
Oh, that's a really good idea! Very subjective, BUT could help people pre-identify problems they may run into
Wow, I learned so much! I don't have nearly that much gear or space but I feel like I can translate this into my personal setup. The back-to-back comparison at the end was really great. Thank you!
Great video guys. Another good thing about the cove light as you have it here is that it is also creating a bit of harder (not too hard) edge light on the right side (camera left) of the talents face. To me that's what really makes the cove set up shine here. For me one of the potential down sides of the cove is the amount of space you need to achieve the set up. So what I usually do is make a book light and then add an additional slightly harder light fixture (usually a titan tube) outside the book light hitting the talent which can give you a soft wrap on the face and add that nice little edge. Thanks for putting out all this great content. Knowledge really is powerful and you guys are sharing a lot of it. Cheers!
Bed sheet - such a brilliant idea and the shot looks sooo Great. Thanks for sharing.
The difference is pretty stunning- I swear I learn a lot from each video. I feel pretty confident in my lighting skills, but I still picked up a lot I didn’t know. 👍
Excellent behind the scenes look at creating soft light.
Fantastic video, really inspires me to get more creative with my lighting setups
This was an awesome video. Very helpful. Priceless!
Great video, super happy I watched all the way through. Excellent tips and the book and cove lights are magic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Casey McBeath is a true professional. Just astonishing seeing someone so passionate with such in depth knowledge... this is what I call a real expert. Also how easy he can explain things for the audience (therefore you have to master your craft)
love the book & cove light tutorials! id love to see some more content around lighting a scene w multiple subjects. also casey is the dude.
Thank you for the very kind words 😊
Always great work, tips and tricks from you guys. Thank you
Great tips.. not a single one to use but mix the techniques learnt here to suit individual needs
this is so awesome! first time I understand how da hell to set lights! thank you so much!
Great lighting setups well explained. Good you did the direct comparison summary at the end so we could see the differences. Perfect tutorial. Now to have enough room for them! 😂
I really like your sens of humour. And this was really useful. Not just one way but many and let us go for what we have around.
Ted your videos on light always make me feel I just was in a Master Class.Thanks to Casey. Idea for future or perhaps you have already done an episode on how to take a challenging office corporate interview and use some of these techniques to soften up that environment. Keep up the great work.
We actually did a “cinematic“ interview video about a year ago. It might be in their “top videos“ section. Lotta fun stuff there (although I completely forgot to mention having make up or just wiping down the talent for shine🤦🏻♂️)
@@CaseyMcBeath1 LOVE IT. I will track it down. This was such an inspiring piece. Is the reason that broadcast even some networks don't do this is TIME? Money? Dont care? When I saw the thumbnail of Ted and how amazing it looked I was truly inspired. THANK YOU
Dan Halyburton Thanks for the kind words man. It kind of depends on what you mean when you say broadcast. Because some narrative shows will, but a sitcom would never. It depends on the style of the shoot, both visually and “logistically”. Because as we mentioned, and these bigger set ups take more space, more time, and can be a bit more limited in how much you could blocking and camera angle before you need to change positions. Goes into a whole lot of film theory that actually gets covered in a lot of the other videos IM Aputure have done over the last few years. They are amazing resources that I would confirm voraciously if I were you. I didn’t have this kind of online content when I started. Film Riot is still great, but they were kind of the only things that had quality (at a time) that I aspired to. I would literally watch their episodes for 6 to 8 hours straight a day. You have so much to gain by taking even just a week to consuming as much of these video educations as possible
Loved the book light and the cove light the most.
the last trick, just wow!
I'm not even a filmmaker, but I subscribed a while ago and these videos are awesome.
Thank you Casey & Ted, learned a ton!
Well. I am VERY impressed! Thank you!
Amazing tips. I found out a lot of new things. For example I've never tried to shoot the scene with tungsten light set up as white balance to make the background more blue! Will definitely try.
7:21 best looking shot and it’s b roll 👍🏻
That book light blew me away. Thanks you guys!!
Great tips, love learning more about lighting!
So excited for this video!
Incredible!! This changed the whole look of my room!!
I always love that people in this videos feel really comfortable with what they're doing, so they respond naturally, it cracked me up when they said "how do we change the light? - We... Add a light".
SUCH A FANTASTIC VIDEO!
Incredible video! In my most recent video I used that hair light, it looks amazing!
Once again, great video. Id love to see more about color temos and gels. Since all my lights are daylight. I can see, from my own stuff, that i need to olay around with some warmer colors. Once again thank you!
Incredible video! Thank you for this!
Great tutorial. Quick, efficient, easy to do tips ! Thanks
awesome!!! thanks guys. i need to try that cove light setting. thanks guys!!!
This is awesome I can’t wait to try it out
Wow your videos are just mindblowing. Thanks
That was truly great. Thank you sooo much!
Can’t wait to have my own studio space in the future I can’t get enough of cinematic dark lounge vibes for TH-cam studios 🔥
Thanks dude, really helpful!
Quick Question/Next Video Suggestion. How to light multiple people in one shot?? Loved this tutorial and the consistency with your videos! YOU ALL ROCK!
Oh that’s a super idea. That’s actually something that’s incredibly difficult when you’re working on a low budget. And it’s something I had to tackle a lot. I would look into cross key lighting as a start. It is difficult to get “cinematic“ lighting for multiple people, but you can get decent lighting by using very large and wide sources.
@@CaseyMcBeath1 that sounds like another video idea!
This was so so so informative . Thanks man.
BRILLIANT Thank You Ted 👍🏻
Great tutorial. Thoroughly explained. I'm subscribing!
that cove light was sweet!
Learned so much thank you!
Solid work man. Well done!
This was awesome and simple.
Nice. Been using my DSLR w a 2.8 lens as a web cam. Going to steal some of these tips.
Love your enthusiasm!!!
This video is a gem. Thanks for all the tips !
Glad it was helpful!!
My god! This video is so informative. Great job Casey and Ted. Only one suggestion to new viewers: watch the full video; it's 15 mins spent really well. Even seasoned pros in lighting will find this video, especially different types of lighting set-up being shown practically, worth their while. 5 stars!
Great video. Thanks for the info. Wondered about folding that nice 4x8 foam core sheet (yes... creased my soul too :)
Absolutely outstanding video on lighting 👍
Excellent job guys. Thank you very much.
Grat job guys, I learned stacks!
this is super cool. Great job.
This was helpful
Thanks a lot guys! Really well done and learned a lot.
Wow. Didn’t know about that tungsten light strategy 👊🏽
Impressive. Just subscribed. Keep up the great video tutorials!!!!
Now I learned a lot! Again! Thanks! Love it!
Best tutorial ever!!!
Wonderful! Thank you very much for make it seem so easy :1
You guys have been putting out GOLD for the last few months man. This is so good and helps with a problem I've been kinda trying to experiment with! Thank you guys for everything you guys do and the hard work you put into these projects! How many people are involved with the production? How long does it take to make one video?
Someone from IM can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I recall, it was just the two camera guys with me and Ted. And then there are 1 or 2 people doing the post editing, not sure for how long though
@@CaseyMcBeath1 oh sweet that's a super intimate crew! And I see you've got your own thing going as well, I'ma check your stuff out. How'd you get involved? Just right time right place kinda thing?
Lets Make Movies these guys keep inspiring me to try to make content on my own, but I have to say, even one additional person makes it huge difference productivity, quality, and timeliness. I’ve actually been good friends with Ted for several years now so we’ve done a pretty good number of videos together here on IM and the Aputure channel
very informative, really helpful - thanks!
Outstanding, thanks!
Amazing. Thank you.
Nice Hangboard you got hanging there! The content is also great and helpful!
Terrific video! Thank you guys!
Excellent presentation!
Love the book light look the best. Wish I had enough room in my space for doing that.
