Light Any Day Interior Quick Using This Method

Really good looking setup, thanks for explaining it. It would be even more cool if you could have a sample shot of all lights turned off so we could really see how much difference every element gives.

Thanks for sharing as always, Brady. I would love to see you do interior lighting for a space on the first or second floor where you don't have the budget to light through the window.

I had this lighting setup all week for a high-key comedy feature and it looked great. We paired it with a Ronin 4D and a set of Laowa Nanomorphics, and it just makes quick work of large spaces needing lit with motivational light.

You make learning lighting feel easy. Thanks!

I would have warmed all the lights to 6500K instead of 5600. As the sky is overcast, the scenary outside the window looks very blue compared to the interior which gives away the fake sunlight. If you set the camera WB to the outside color temp and matched your lights to that the shot wouldve looked even better imo

So helpful man. I really like how you present everything in an approachable way that I'm sure inspires confidence to many beyond just me to tackle these types of setups.

[Jordan_Moore]

I always appreciate your content! So much to learn!

Another excellent lighting breakdown. These videos are a great means of inspiration.

By the way, it was great meeting you at the Aputure booth today at Cine Gear Expo. It was fun talking shop for a while. Glad I'm subbed to your channel. Thanks again for these breakdowns.

learning in the best possible way to work with you soon.
Thank you so much for such great content, sir.

[mehdimnar]

I love your videos man. You're such a great teacher!

[lsk_kids]

Your lighting in this video is really good! 👍 I appreciate your tips, keep inspiring & pursuing your dreams ☺

[Theaaronchris]

You’re the GOAT of lighting in my book! I love your content bro

[WhySteve]

I used a white polystyrene board that came in my fridge box on my last shoot haha.

Brady as always I love your stuff... I have a question for you. For a wide shot like this I would love to hear your thoughts on on using a straight forward setup like this using diffusion etc. vs. something like Deakins Cove lighting technique. Is one better than the other or what are the pros and cons of each approach. And what factors would make you choose one vs. the other. Thanks in advance.

[DTalley]

Great job Brady. What made you choose the P300c over the Amaran F22c in this scenario? Trying to decide which one to invest. Thx

[gbesalvador]

The insulation board was a paid actor…also, I learned so much in this video than I did in the few years of my film program, thank you!🙏🏽

[redbeardproductions-kevind]

I was just wondering if that was the real sun behind you, or if you set up a light to do that on purpose... but you answered me as soon as I asked 😅.

[Leo-sdps]

Yoh, any recommendations for a budget-friendly Aparture Nova 300c ?

[AndresArosemena]

Excellent video Brady! How did you manage to mount all that in just 5 minutes??
