This is unquestionably the best and most comprehensive intro to lighting I've seen.

[patataeve]

Every video jumps straight to "make it cinematic" but thank god you are explaining the real basics, thank you!

[DrJacobGoodin]

Where was this video when I was starting my channel?? Seriously, amazing tutorial. You know how to teach.

[maksiksq]

My budget is 10$ so im gonna duct tape a sheet of paper to my desk lamp

[hivac]

Sending this message from France and believe me or not, I never ever comment on videos. That's one of the very first time I do it because the quality of your content is above all expectations and it blows my mind. Thank u so much for this video !

[Kynetguy]

I like the way you explain lighting concepts. Everyone doesn’t want to”cinematic. You arm people with knowledge that should allow them to land with the lighting they want.

THE BEST VIDEO OUT THERE, I watched many many video and i didn't get the difference between lights and here i'm watching your video and understand every single detail i was looking for

[aqubouri]

I bought his course and manged to get from a novice to a professional in less than a month, he is very generous in terms of the info and insights he provides. He is becoming my reference in all things digital regarding content creation.

@ 7:00 I'm not classically trained, and most of the stuff I've learned has been from YT. Anyway, I thought I understood setting the camera for natural white, but I really didn't until you explained how it works.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Bro I've watched tons of video on lighting and yours is the only one that really gives a comprehensive overview of all lighting solutions and how effective they are. Basically this is the most professional and easily understandable video on lighting that I know of so thank you a ton for this content. You just earned a new subscribers

[yayklede]

I don't think I ever owed so much to a single content creator. Your content is highly valuable and top notch. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience with us 🙏

For a guy who films while travelling on off-road adventures, I went with LED panels. They save a ton of space and do the trick. I got the small soft boxes that strap to them and pop out when you need them. Very pleased with how they work for my needs.

Great video. Absolutely loved it, but one small correction. The graphic at 2:53 is incorrect.
Physics wise, light gets softer dimmer and bigger when increasing distance and smaller but brighter with harder edges when decreasing distance.
Just use a regular flashlight on a wall.
Observe for yourself what happens the closer you get to the wall with it. Inverse square law is a real thing.
Also sunrise and sunset can be considered soft because the sun is further away than noon when it's directly overhead (Closer and a harder source). Then you can get into nuances of a cloudy overcast situation which can also be considered soft.
Anyways great video otherwise.

This is the BEST video I have found on YouTube explaining lighting for content. Building my studio at home, and watching this video saved me tons of time. THANK YOU!

[poisonels]

Incredible. This really is the best video on light I've seen in years.

[javierlombardo]

[melysagodoy]
