Yo, just want you to know, that I really love your videos, your look and how you explain those things. As an angling director and dop - theee best channel for me on YouTube! Do something great for you today, you deserve this ❤

[austin.shoots]

You are one of the best channels out here

[directedbysev]

enjoy the content man thanks for the tips
loved the fact that you gave the cam white balance for that 2nd scene

[SpankyProduction]

Wow, your setup is really well lighted

[John-]

3:00 Doesn't need to be top lit if you got lots of lamps!

In my own apartment I don't have ceiling lights and instead softly illuminate every room with mid-height lamps bouncing from wall corners.

Nice video! The framework, checkerboarding/salt and peppering—really feeling the influence of Wandering DP here 😊

My brother, as someone who is uploading videos on this platform about cinematography too, I wonder, how on earth do you manage to upload 8 videos in 1 month, all of them around 20mins each. I struggle to even get one per month. I'm seriously very curious my man, how??

[OBAROTV]

It will be nice to mention the camera White Balance

[newsongsify]

The only thing that I don’t like about your videos is you don’t show us the actually lighting set up. Your chalk board drawings are sometimes confusing. You show about 2 seconds of your actual lights and camera set up.

[DarriusTerrell-wu]

What's a good way to measure to see if you have enough light on an object? false color? or enough light for your scene

[trayjm]

Brother how many people do you have with you to help carry the equipment? I know all of that can be challenging to keep up with.

[OBAROTV]

did you not have noise in the 3rd example?

[danielduanetv]

I know you like to use 2700k for warmer light. What's the ideal camera WB for that look?

[steve_arcenio]

so your at 2700K for the lights and camera correct?

[NilsnLewinski]

Amazing knowledge but very bad presentation. Too much doodles and talking and not enough footage 😥
