The Art of Light: Techniques That Will Change Your Cinematography

In this video I'll show you some lighting techniques every cinematographer should know. We're gonna talk about color temperature, light matching and inverse square law. Hope you enjoy!!

You proved that the student doesn't need tons of expensive equipment to get great results! The two biggest takeaways for me were the simplicity of your cove lighting, and allowing free movement by applying the inverse square law. I can't wait to try it!

Instant sub. As someone else said, I watch a lot of filmmaking tutorials every day. This one shocked me with the amount of usable information, the clarity of presentation and...how to say this...the way this felt like vitally important fundamental information which is not generally shared. Yes, that's it. Thank you so much! A lot to think about and a lot to try out!

I had already heard about the law of the inverse square with respect to light but the way you explained it made me understand the practical consequences it has while recording and producing. Thank you very much! It will help me a lot now that I will record my final career short film.

I really love how you broke down such a complicated topic in a way that was easy to digest. Your intro led me with curiosity and your trust in your c-stands blew my mind in your daylight recreation scenes.

Thank you for creating this content. First piece I see from you and an instant subscribe

[devinmckay]

This was one of the most informative videos on lighting I've ever watched. Thank you.

Love your channel! Its filled with great practical information and production quality. I've always equated darkness with a blank canvas and your lights the paint. Your wonderful examples really illustrate that idea.

As someone just starting to delve into learning cinematography, I see I have a lot to learn. Aperature, Lighting, Sound design/sfx, Resolution/Frame-size, upload compression, color grading, camera angles, hardware learning, software learning, efficiency and intuition, organizing/planning, on and on. If I take baby steps and learn 1 thing at a time, I’m sure I’ll get to where I want to be!

[ronaldrichardson]

This is the kind of content I've been looking for as it relates to Film lighting, very informative and I appreciate the breakdowns and comparison shots. Thanks!!

[lauriermanseau-girard]

Thank you so much for this, I've learned so much from this video! Please keep making these!

[nicoleflo]

Loving the content! I'd love to see videos about creating specific looks. So basically, okay this is the look I'm trying to create, and these are the things I consider when planning and setting that up. An opportunity to show why you'd prefer doing a over b in x or y situation. Could be recreating the look from something else or just a concept you come up with. It's just really helpful to be taken along in that whole thought proces of deciding what to go with to get that result you want.

[coymatocha]

One of the best lighting videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks man!
