Lily is a fantastic host. Engaging and charismatic, with a speaking voice that is well-paced and even, but never boring. Great work.

Thank you for explaining what IS cinematography; and what they DO. So far your the only channel that answered the question! Impressed even more, that you go into details, all of the crew jobs and their responsibilities.


Now it so clear the directors job and the cinematographer job. Thank you! Great content.

I just Got even more respect for the cinematographer on IT.

Having worked on TV sets a lot I earned huge respect for the DP, they are definitely the most important person after the director in my opinion, the director might make the decisions but the DP really makes things happen.

Lily has such a warm, calm demeanor. I bet she's incredible to work with on set.

This is the one aspect of filmmaking that most people are confused by. Alot of people confuse directing for cinematography.

[ashtongaskill]

Any chance we could get a diagram of how this set's lighting is set up? Would be interesting to take this info and apply it practically. Or is there a resource that shows lighting diagrams with corresponding images somewhere?
