Great approach that compliments my desire to use as much natural light as possible and as little artificial light as possible. Very cool videos - thanks for making them!
More of this please!!! I am so fed up with all the gear reviewers here on TH-cam. Your way of explaining what you do and why is much more interesting. Thanks for the good work.
Wow, thanks man😊 *secretly deleting my Sony A7V review video* Jokes aside, at some point, I’ll include some gear to keep the channel running-but the main focus will always be sharing practical tips.
@@ChaseMarcello By format, I'm referring to the step-by-step demonstration of this practical cinematography approach. I believe you are referring to a completed film where these techniques may have been used. Please correct me if I am wrong.
@ ahh yeah I’m referring to a film, I see what you mean though. I actually clicked on this video because it reminded me of my own approach in one of my posts. You have no obligation to watch that this is not a plug at all but I just found it cool how I had made a video about a very similar approach
So happy you’re making these videos. They’re both helpful in keeping budgets down and also so inspiring to go have fun with all sorts of different lighting options! Hope you make more like this!
Thank you very much for your content - please keep up that amazing work! We don't need another channel that only talks about expensive gear. Your content is a goldmine for solo filmmakers and really motivates to get the most out of projects, even with a small budget or minimalist equipment.
OMG such a great tutorial and so easy to understand for a beginner like me. Please make more of this easy to understand lighting tutorials 🙏🏻 There other Tutorials on YT are so technical so booring and so complicated to understand 😫
Good content. It would have been nice to see the fluorescent light without the cover wrap but with the black negative fill (because that would probably be the fastest to set up on location).
thanks! absolutely worth it, such a great tool. you can use it to roughly plan sour camera setup, lighting or even to create a storyboard. that being said, I don‘t love version 2 of cinetracer. I prefer version 1 so far.
So weird, this is what I use to shoot like then you get gear, forget your roots, then feel lost if you don’t have all the gear in the world. Thanks for the reminder that the best things in life are free or at list simple.
@ ah my apologies 😂😂😂I’m in Australia at the moment and it’s summer here. All good brother, whenever you have time and weather permitting. Love your work!
thanks man! I've had this piece for an eternity 😆 if you search for cinefoil you will find it. but actually you can also use a piece of dark fabric that doesn't let through light!
great question! the original ungraded image is brighter. so even the dark areas are not lost. I just pulled everything down in post. that means ofter for darker scenes you actually need a lot of light to also maintain a certain level on the darker areas.
Thank you! The only book on that topic I own is: Cinematography: Theory and Practice (ISBN 978-0-367-37345-0). It's a good one. But you will find a lot more practical stuff on TH-cam.
I don't have a color meter but I sometimes use the iPhone app "LightSpectrum Pro" which is quite neat. Mostly I use a large pop-up grey card and use my cameras custom white balance set function to dial it in.
I don't remember the exact kelvin number but what I wanted to say is that I matched the camera to the new light source 😊 might have been 3500 or 3800. I also added some warmth in the grade.
Do you find that when using a warmer white balance the warm colors themselves have less pop? (regardless of the surrounding light, let's say you have 3200k light everywhere)
I haven‘t thought about that thb. If everything is the same color temp in a scene and you change the wb in camera to a warmer setting, everything will get warmer tones and at some point just look unnatural. but more pop.. don‘t really know!
How did you guys like this „no-film-lights-approach“?

This format of practical cinematography really doesn't exist as far as I know. I'm an instant fan.
That’s awesome to hear, thanks for the support!
It definitely has existed for a while. But this was some solid stuff!
Joshua Richard already won BAFTA for this style of cinematography in nomadland

Thanks! Nice fornat, keep doing these labs, they help so much!
Appreciate that, glad you’re finding them useful!
thank you 😍
Glad you liked it!
Love this format. Very practical. Do you think Cinetracer is worth its price?
thanks! absolutely worth it, such a great tool. you can use it to roughly plan sour camera setup, lighting or even to create a storyboard. that being said, I don‘t love version 2 of cinetracer. I prefer version 1 so far.
@@pierogiannist Thanks for the feedback.
Excelent video, could you do a video about your color grading process? Keep doing this awesome project
noted! and thanks a lot😊
So weird, this is what I use to shoot like then you get gear, forget your roots, then feel lost if you don’t have all the gear in the world.
Thanks for the reminder that the best things in life are free or at list simple.
Great video. really explained everything well and the shot looks great
thanks for tuning in :)
Bruh you the OG on TH-cam for real
just figuring things out, thanks man
good stuff thanks!
thanks for watching!
Nice Work!
Appreciate it!!
Amazing video. Would it be possible to get one of these for outdoor filming?
thanks! I‘ll keep this in mind. right now it‘s -5 degrees celsius here🥲
@ ah my apologies 😂😂😂I’m in Australia at the moment and it’s summer here. All good brother, whenever you have time and weather permitting. Love your work!

Great content well shot. subbed
Thanks so much for the support!
these videos are great
thank you!
Like it so much 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching 😎
excellent content brother! where did you get the black wrap you're using to cover the tube?
thanks man! I've had this piece for an eternity 😆 if you search for cinefoil you will find it. but actually you can also use a piece of dark fabric that doesn't let through light!
This was awesome! But how did you keep the shadows noise free?
great question! the original ungraded image is brighter. so even the dark areas are not lost. I just pulled everything down in post. that means ofter for darker scenes you actually need a lot of light to also maintain a certain level on the darker areas.
I'd recomment checking out the video "How to Light and Expose for Darkness" by Rob Ellis
@ Oh! Alright! Then I need stronger lights! 😅
@@pierogiannist Thanks man!
Very nice! Any must read cinematography books you recommend that touches on the fundamentals with a lot of practical examples?
Thank you! The only book on that topic I own is: Cinematography: Theory and Practice (ISBN
978-0-367-37345-0). It's a good one. But you will find a lot more practical stuff on TH-cam.
@ thank you chief 🫡
great video! what are you using for that nice looking film grain in the photo?
thanks! it‘s resolves grain effect on a pretty heavy setting😄
Great job. What camera do you use ?
thanks! shot on the sony a7s III
@@pierogiannistthanks
Excellent video - thank you! =)
Glad you liked it! thanks a lot
Love it
What do you use to measure kelvin of lights?
I don't have a color meter but I sometimes use the iPhone app "LightSpectrum Pro" which is quite neat. Mostly I use a large pop-up grey card and use my cameras custom white balance set function to dial it in.
Man you're what we've been mising in filmmaker TH-cam!
you‘re too kind man🥹🫶🏼
awesome
So you changed the cameras white balance to 32k to match the tube light ? Doesn’t that make it white ?
I don't remember the exact kelvin number but what I wanted to say is that I matched the camera to the new light source 😊 might have been 3500 or 3800. I also added some warmth in the grade.
wich lens did you use?
@@lllucaaa Sigma 24-70
More !!
What was your camera White balance
first at 6500, after turning on the light sth between 3200 and 3800kelvin
Bro is cine tracer o cinetracer 2? I have cinetracer 2 but is different to yours 😅
I use cine tracer! (not 2)
Great tips and a nice shot, but you just went from day to night for the shot 😂.
haha good catch! I was going for a dramatic mood shift.
Thank you for such great tip Henry Cavill
