Wandering DP cares not for celebrity. He cares only for light.

I've been watching random clips of cinematography breakdown in the past few months, because I felt the need to learn more about it in order to improve my understanding of the craft. Your videos stand out the most to me, because they are very well made, both in terms of explanation and usefulness. No promotion crap or any waste of time. And I feel that you are doing a great service for anyone who seeks professional knowledge on the subject, but maybe didn't really get it straight out of film school, or has been shy to ask questions to a DP on set. I applaud what you are doing sir, and I hope your channel as well as your following can grow and bloom.

Suddenly I'm hungry. Great breakdown, Patrick. Well done!

*sees Janelle Monae* - “I’m famous”

Some people prefer sandwiches and some prefer wraps and some crazy people like replacing it all with lettuce.

Just had to pause the video halfway to say that this series of commercial breakdowns you do is the best thing to come out of 2020.

Great breakdown like always. I actually like the sun ''sandwich'' in this shot because it makes for better contrast with the shadow side of the building behind him.

[aryapraagya]

The starting summary of what's going on is pure comedy gold. "Yes, sky, everything is connected, the future is now, I am in a building, its fancy.." 😂😂😂

[OneTrackMind]

Buzz Aldrin...Johnny Cash, they're one and the same. OBVIOUSLY.

[Praxiszooms]

I am a patron now :) and I LOVE it..I mean the Soul Breakdown? WOW almost 1 hour? THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Highly recommend becoming a Patron! So much value!

The compositions in this commercial were pretty great.

[peio]

I'm a proponent for the sun sandwich because there are plenty of natural examples from daily life; buildings. Buildings constantly reflect light back into peoples faces from the opposite angle of the sun. In this example I could easily imagine a barn or other broadside building on his property bouncing light back into his face just as they've shot it. It's a concept that makes less sense if you're out in the woods, but it's a perfectly good technique to use in the manner that this commercial was shot.

This ad has some of he most beautiful locations I've seen

[RobWatt]

“This guys a farmer, that’s why he’s wearing that shirt” hahaha, spoken like someone who has worked in commercials for a long time

[garotienrico]

The actual advertisement needs to have a version with voice over done by you. So

[TommysVerden]

Found you not that long ago. Just want to say that I still learn from an old video. Thanks. 😉

[KristinBassPetersen]

"now you will never unsee it" spot-on, lol

[ChristianSpraungel]

"colors, moving lights, handheld, yesss the future is now" Definitely bursted out laughing there

[yuhguli]

Without a doubt, your channel is one of the best lighting resources to go to. Thank you!

[jamesCamali]

Top 5 commentary of all time, haha. Love this. Keep up the great work
