Filmmaking: Lighting part one

[RapperHolik]

Thanx man. your tutorial was so positive, very informative - precise and to the point..so potent. I'd like to know more on outdoor lighting techniques. Most videos only show indoor lighting techniques.

Was tuning in for a DIY lighting kit, but gained some advice regarding the technique and the approach; In a story sense it makes better knowledge. Thanks uploader.

[rtkiiiprod]

thanks for the info....nice vid!

[nublackmusic]

that was really good information. the part about depth and flat scenes is so important. our short came out flat looking but it won't happen again!

[myjunglebox]

This is the same as if you write an article... This is youtube, please, show whit images of what are you talking... And we can see if you are right

[yukaigrrl921]

interesting!

the transitions are strange though.

[gatekeeper9087]

i think he has to flip the or something it looks and sound like he's reading from something

[karnesb]

Great tutorial!!! I've been watching a bunch of videos on youtube about various aspects of low budget movie making and have been somewhat disapointed. You got right to the point and explained the seeminly small details that are very important for people just starting out. THANK YOU!!!

[thescowlingschnauzer]

Great advice. A demo would be nice, though.

[HORRORGOD]

thanks for the info. This was very informative and I'll be sure to use these tips from now on...I've only done one thing 'till now but I'd like to do more. Thanks again!

good info , but i agree w/ previous posts that this post would have been tops if you would cut to examples of lighting while maintaining the narration.

[AMAZINGPROSTATE]

btw sometimes lit from slightly below is good too! thanks

[dlatreset]

Very good info. Thanks for posting.

[Mike0rnole]

[hunhun505]

thanks for the tips

[edannali]

Can you SHOW us how you work with key, fill and head light? And how does the tin foil trick work?

[actablecause]

Thanks, liked the black tin foil hole part

[flyby7a]

GREAT EXPLANATION.. IT would have been better if you had actually shown the techniques themselves.. YOu know for people who are more visual learners.. THANKS..

[crcentertainment]

I will make another video when I get time to actually show the lights and the set up points... etc.

[vengence123]

yes please do, great information, but it went in one ear, and out the other... because there were no examples. actually, up until half way through the vid, i was wondering if u had actually used that lighting on yourself. lol.

[vengence123]

PS: a question about when you said "äll lights should be placed higher than the head". Won't this make the actors appear more "haggy" (older)? Since it means their foreheads will always be lit, and all crevices (eg under the nose etc) will be dark... giving them a witch-like look.

[crcentertainment]

This is your key light that is placed up just a little higher than the actors head but not hanging above him. In other words the light should be about 6-7 feet high and placed about 7-15 feet away from actor. Not above his head. The light that will be above his head would be (usually in a studio) a china ball or chimera kind of light but it wouldn't be all that bright but enough to give ambient light onto your actor and surroundings.

[vengence123]

oh i see, great. thank you. :)

[THOMSONPICTURES]

[bysoul]

very good tips, specially the 3 point lighting... and about the audio, no problem, I didn't expect a home theater quality on you tube just to talk about lighting! nice!

[misshangnguyen]

Nice !!

[shovland]

good discussion but needs to show what he is talking about and also needs to use a lav or other mike

[chiohkeh]

Liked the video but wished that I could see a few set ups to go along with the verbal description.
