Lighting The Same Scene For Day AND Night

Lighting for different times of day is essential. In this video we're lighting the same scene for daylight and for night, to see what changes.

You've managed to teach core concepts (spaces not faces), workflow (expose for practical light, then environment, then talent), technique (diffuse and flag off), and efficiency (cove light for daylight bounce and also for evening lighting). In 16 minutes I feel like I should be bringing a notebook. Well done, Brady!

Those scenes are beautiful! I love how day and night scenes evoke such different moods... I do love me some night scenes, especially. :D

Pausing at 13:06 to remember this textbook example of motivated lighting. Sweet.

Amazing behind the scenes tutorial. True, realistic passion for the subject being discussed! So good man!

[BrunoPozoReal]

Love your videos man. Really helped me to light more cinematically. I always struggled with room tone and night shots. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[jeremiahdombach]

Absolutely legendary video man. Thank you for this! So many great concept taught in here in a comprehensive, helpful way! I’m a new sub for sure

[NimTV]

Love this video! I’m still very new to learning lighting for filmmaking, and I think this video was very helpful and inspiring for me!

Hey! I've seen Kevin on Aputures channel. I loved the way he used his lights to simulate a meteor crash in that one video! Also, I love how sublty you used these lights in the night scene to feel real and comfortable but still cinematic and magical!

Truly one of your best video Brady! Thank you 🙏

[phokar]

Ayyeee... a crossover! Haven't even started watching but i'm already psyched for the BradyxKevin combo!🔥🔥

[felixkutz]

[englishforsrilanka]

Professor Brady you've listened to my request/s! Thanks a bunch and as always, I love ya!
More power to you good sir!

[Matthewtube]

Great stuff as always! Sending a little extra love your way for Kevin Reyes!

You have really helped me up my lighting game, so thank you! I have 3 questions:
1) have you found a good case or system to travel with all that gear?
2) I film weddings and would like to light the bridal suite a little better. What do you feel like would be a simple and consistent solution to lighting a variety of spaces like that?
3) Do you have any tips for lighting placement when there are mirrors involved? When I try to do a far side key, you see the light in the shot.

Kev is a legend! He's such a genuine dude!

Once I have started watching your videos ( a couple of weeks ago) I have learnt more than I did in the past couple of years 😂

Great video as always! One thing I notice though, is that a lot of cinematographers on YouTube seem to really speak about how hard light is ugly or we should avoid using it to light the subject. I really think this is all down to the look you want to achieve and actually hard light can look phenomenal- if you haven’t seen The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) this is a masterclass in hard light by Bruno Delbonnel

This is such a great channel, and loving all the step by step lighting methods! Really helpful, thanks a tonn! 🙏🏻
