Thank you Patrick for this breakdown and the entirety of your channel! Your pointers and analysis based on your cinematography level do helped me a lot in building a library of ideas that inspires me to practice and hopefully apply from my future project shoots. I look forward to many more breakdowns and wishing this channel to grow over 100K subs with a solid fan based community! So I guess more Pizzas and Coffee this time? Apprecite your time and all of your contents!
I think it’s because some camera’s dynamic range wouldn’t be able to handle it. Most cameras can’t see very bright light and very dark shadows at the same time, as well as the human eye can.
Big jumps in shadows from shot to shot are a distracting tell that the scene isn’t happening in one continuous flow. Easy way to avoid is to not show the ground
You should do a breakdown of the lighting you have setup on your own set.
Haven’t seen this breakdown in months! Perfect timing since I have a location similar to this I’ll be filming at next week 🙇🏽♂️
Thanks for the content. I'm a solo filmmaker who wears all the hats. It's good to know how bigger productions do it so I can try to emulate.
patrick they didn't use a bounce. they used a china bowl. there is actual bts footage of this scene.
It’s still soft light from the far side.
Electric bounce
Small just like my pen-is? lmao 4:25
Yes!
It was filmed on an Arri Alexa XT - 14 stops of dynamic range (which just about all current cinema cams have nowadays...)

Much appreciated!
Thank you, i always use your tips in my work❤
I think the reason for the headroom is because they were trying to hide a dolly track at the bottom of the frame.
Imagine the headroom if they were shooting 1.85
Can anyone explain why, at about 14:42, he says it's better not to show the ground because it's in shadow?
