Young DP here - this is excellent advice. Explains all of the most important concepts very clearly. At 6:13 I laughed out loud because early in my journey I tried to light scenes this way and just didn't have enough light output/equipment to make it work. A lot of the job is just problem solving and you've left the audience with a toolkit to solve those problems. Bravo!

what an absolutely amazing lesson! thank you so much!

So happy to see you active on Youtube, Chris. You are one of the most interesting voices movie wise out there, and sorely missed you when you took a step back. These videos are fascinating and illuminating (pardon the pun) for cinephiles like me. Great, thorough work, well explained and constantly giving visual examples. Been following your work since you guest appeared on the Schmoes Know show. Keep it up, and greetings from Spain!

Hmm I hope you have a video on composites.

[flamingfilms]

well taught and very effective visuals to enhance it.
it's almost like you're a professor or something lol
seriously tho sometimes even well intentioned professors don't explain things this effectively.
i'd prob vote on lenses next but i'm for all of it of course.

Did you explain HOW to "separate color temperatures"? I refer to the camera settings? In 8:11?
