I needed every tip in these packed eight minutes because in five days I have to light a scene on short notice! That's amazing. I especially appreciate the tips on flags, which I admit to neglecting - such simple and useful items.

I just wanted to say, your videos have been incredibly helpful. I have been trying to self-teach for cinematography, and lighting is such a huge subject and its incredibly daunting. Your videos have really helped me with understanding of lingo, use cases for specific gear, etc. So thanks for these! Really great stuff you are doing!

Hey Brady, I have been really enjoying your content lately. I have been a long time subscriber. 

One tip for you to include in your arsenal.When shooting commercial work to block light, I always keep in my bag a few plastic black party tablecloths. They weigh absolutely nothing and each one cost about .50 cents if you buy them by the box. You can gaff tape them to anything because they weight less than paper. In seconds you can make a floppy, a ceiling skirt, negative fill etc. they are incredibly versatile.

Cheers man, please pass the congratulations to your lovely girl. I didn't know she was so multifaceted. She killed it on that last video about the tubes. You are a bless man!

Great job! I'd block that bounced light on the left wall. Just for aesthetics purposes. Have a great day!
