In my opinion, there is no one on Youtube...I repeat NO ONE that is a better teacher of this stuff than Pye. This is great.

Dear Pye,
This is the first video I discovered from you and it really goes beyond "good and useful content." Your energy, tone of voice, and pace didn't just make this a great video to watch, but they also transported an implicit message of, "Don't worry, you can do this. And you can do this well, " where most tutorials still leave a big gap between teacher and student. Thanks so much!

Amazing explaining, I’m suffering since years to understand how I should light a scene and you made me understand it in just few minutes. Thanks a lot

What a simple yet great demonstration. Thank you for simplifying it and showing how to expose for the accent lights first. I feel like I was going it backwards.

I've been watching so many videos on this and trying to find how to do interviews in a small space ... my idea to light it looked exactly as you have here and yet I couldn't find a single video to confirm or deny this ... but here we are! Woo! 🎉

Subscribed. Thank you!

Another clear, concise and entertaining video from 3.1416. Much appreciation.

Man i know this video is from a while back already but im glad i found it - I've seen most every youtube video from reputable channels about choices of light and their positioning etc but no one ive come across has gone through the steps in terms of fine tuning the ambient like this as a starting point for setting the scene; most videos focus only on the subject and/or key lights

[vmphouston]

Awesome video! Honestly the best way to explain lights set up. Love it

[jhaereacts]

Probably the most useful lighting setup/dialing in tutorial I have ever seen. I have a podcast page (not this one) and just started looking for ways to tweak my area for when I have an in studio guest.
