I think when we (image makers) focus too much on equipment, we forget the value of location and production design. We might also discount the production value of having an acting powerhouse like Thandie Newton in our frames. I'm sure actors like her can make even a simple candle feel like a 100 million dollars!

[@brainmove]

Well said 👍

[@AndresArosemena]

this was a great challenge and breakdown! I would love more videos like this one

[@anthonyrock5039]

Yes for sure set design and colours are all deliberate and create an atmosphere that will only then need a highlight to create focus for each shot. Really lovely looking. thank you for having a look at this!

[@rfdez2724]

Well done buddy. I don't know why some of the gear you have at the video description are unavailable.

[@obedsantana]

I love these breakdowns, subbed

[@haxstir]

Hmmm, sorry trouble is this isn't lit with one light, more like four. Each actor has a backlight up high out of shot. Look at the actress to the left and her shoulder. Plus there is ambient light. If you look at the floor shadows you can tell. Plus of course lighting outside the windows.

Thanks much Sir Crimson for this tutorial. Its a great eye opener.

I know this video has been up for a while and maybe this has been mentioned before - but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had big soft overhead lights (either bounced or mats) on low intensity for both the room tone as well as their “backlights” which for me are more of a slight separation than a strong back light. Especially as this is most likely a studio build I’d not be surprised to see a bunch of lights up there (even if they are not all on). Would love to see if there are more BTS pictures available. That being said the point of your video is still a very good one, that is often overlooked here on KZbin. Keep you lighting simple. Production design and location is your best friend.

This was interesting certainly and you're correct, it's so much more than the one tube. Art direction and atmosphere is key, outside of the actors that is what the camera see's. Doesn't hurt that there is serious $$$ in other equipment there. The 2 dolly's alone would be $500K+ if they are Chapman or Fisher, hard to tell. Looks like Ronford Baker Atlas Fluid heads, Arri Camera's with all the bits and pieces and are those Panavision lenses? I would guess around $1M in equipment is visible in the BTS shot. It's amazing how well the equipment we mere mortals use can get to this kind of look.

Thank you for sharing this breakdown. Always great content!

[@arun_kumar0]

2:14 it still look good Rub... hey did you used normal household tubelights or did you go for tube lights designed for films like godox, quasar or nanlight?

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

Great point! Thank you for sharing.

[@leoquesto9183]

Astera Titan to the rescue, not $100, but . . .

[@zaraarti]

Thank you for breaking this down

[@ChrisKluepfel]

This is awesome it's like they say light spaces not faces I guess

[@albertusbodenstein1976]

First time I heard this.. but will remember it! Good advice!

[@thebolivianguy64]

Thank you so much for this video! So much knoledge.

[@A2ZLiveEntertainment]

“Enlightening experience” 😆

[@joeblack1847]

I would LOVE to see more tutorials like this ! btw, did you say "canon tutorials" ? english isn't my native language and the link you pointed didn't appear up right^^ Thank you very much for this breakdown, it's extremely enlightening !

[@Crimsonengine]

Thanks! check out www.canonmasterclass.com for more

[@joeblack1847]

@@Crimsonengine I'm sure it's worth it but i can't afford a $200 course.

[@lionel.mukendi]

This was great!

[@VernardNuncioFields]

I've used this same setup so many times.

[@smepable]

Super interesting

[@chudopalov1977]

Great job! Thank you!

[@TyRogers]

It’s about “what you know”

[@svecphoto_com]

What light do you use for yout hairlight/backlight? It look like some hard light from the above?

[@ConciousCinema]

Awesome video 🙏

[@ContraflowPictures]

Please show me where to buy that for around $100, I can’t find anything close

[@dominickmorales130]

Thank You

[@Tvflag]

This is very interesting

[@ShamellAntone]

great vid.

[@mitchellbrinkerdp]

I don't understand the title of "$100 lighting setup for $100 million dollar film" when the consensus of the video is that there is tons of lighting and art direction, etc. that goes into the shot to make it look as it does. So, it isn't a $100 setup. It's a $100 million dollar setup.

[@Crimsonengine]

KZbin terms state clearly you must use the most click baity, hyperbolic title possible.

[@FredDan188]

Go Rub !!!

[@Sjaubi-qf6wd]

I don't think too much thought is put into lighting in more than half of Hollywood film scenes .From what I've seen out here in New York they use a simple diffuser one or two lights . I believe they have a formula based on light meters and they fix and match shots in post . There is a reason why Hollywood cameras cost $250,000 dollars my friend There is a reason why the lenses on those cameras cost $30,000 . The cameras we can afford is what needs the manipulation of light and shadow to come close to the look of those cameras and lenses and what we get is a overly cinematic look that does not appear natural . People Trying too hard putting way too much effort on lighting . Get those numbers right on your meter . Create formulas and shoot your scenes .
