8 Film Looks Using 1 Light

[@SamuelObafemi]

As a cinematographer learning the ropes, I'm very interested in lighting, and this channel has helped me a whole lot!! Thank you Brady!!!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you sooo much!!

[@frantzysainvil6508]

Me to bro this channel has what other channels simply do not offer starting off with hardly any gear is so daunting and he shows how to make a lot with a little

[@untontomasenytui6172]

You mean as a "filmmaker" right? Like no hate, but cinematographer is a DOP

[@CrazyyyJayy]

Learning Cinematographer?😂😂 that’s like saying as a learning swat officer, cinematographer is a big title, you’re a film maker

[@angeloardina4558]

Being a noob aspiring film maker with literally 0 budget, this gives me hope. Truly creativity is the key! Thanksss!

[@BradyBessette]

I'm really glad it helps! cheers and best of luck film friend!

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Forget the lighting tips, I just thought it was really sweet that Sarah brought you food... and even glammed it up with fancy ketchup and mustard swirls! Mate, she’s a keeper (that was genuinely the part of the video that left the biggest emotional impact on me).

[@BradyBessette]

this is so darn sweet thank you!!

[@meirchaimo6960]

That piano backlight scene was so good!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you a lot it’s my favorite!!

[@FinnHPMusic]

That hard backlight shot tho😍 would love to see more music video oriented setups if you can! Great stuff man🤙🏼

[@TheSaraAnn]

he’ll have a lot of those tutorials coming your way when my music videos to my songs are released!! ;)

[@FinnHPMusic]

@@TheSaraAnn Looking forward to it! Can you guys film one of mine?! 🤣🙏🏼

[@TheSaraAnn]

@@FinnHPMusic That would be a blast!

[@mateenmakesfilms]

This video has so much value I’m just blown away completely. Thank you thank you thank you (and thank you!)

[@BradyBessette]

And thank YOU just as much

[@darwintrinidad5294]

Now I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m learning a lot, thank you sharing your knowledge. Very Inspiring and informative.

[@BradyBessette]

Keep watching!!! Lol thank you

[@JoseGarcia-ih7qj]

My fav part is “The car light” it really tied up the scene, awesome work as always !

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much!

[@gregorythomasmusic]

not only was everything wildly useful, but that Chinese lantern idea wrapped with a garbage bag was a crazy little gem you didn’t have to drop in there. ty!

[@dragonsscissor3344]

how man, i just met you and im so happy i found someone that teach and have that desire to help, you made my day, you inspire thousands thank you so much!!!!

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,707 subs and > 1k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@KrishnenduKes]

Fantastic Class as usual. My favourite has always been the Rembrandt lighting yes. But I was pretty impressed at the hard backlighting and the top lighting. Thank you once again. I hope you hit 50K before the EOY!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much !!!

[@officialfromafia]

Learned a lot. Thank you.

[@edwardleefilms]

This breakdown is unmatched. Good stuff Brady!!

[@BradyBessette]

my guyyyy hello! thank you brother

[@moonthink8288]

Thank you for saying "film looks" and not youtube's most cliched term "cinematic". It made the difference between me watching or not watching. Also nice ideas! In fact, your use of the grid inspired me to try that for an upcoming project I'm working on where that'd be totally appropriate.

[@BradyBessette]

there is a difference sometimes! I prefer Film but it goes hand in hand

[@charlottehuang1550]

Hello from Taiwan! It's really helpful and easy to understand, thank you Brady!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you soooo much!

[@StinkyDangerBeans]

I'm an editor and a cam op but watching your videos has really sparked a passion for lighting in me recently. Thank you.

[@MoonlightSocial]

You might've just sold me on the Nanlite _and_ the 28mm Vazen lol; I've been using the 40mm for a few months now and love it. The 28mm is on my short list after a few more project checks clear. Either way, I'm using your links for sure. And subbed!

[@BradyBessette]

Hey that’s awesome!!! Thank you so much

[@MoonlightSocial]

@@BradyBessette heck yeah!

[@Popietro]

And all of this can apply to photography as well! Ohhh your video features a great contact with great quality ! Thanks :)

[@BradyBessette]

That is true and thank you so much!!

[@raphaelmotta7630]

This is AMAZING! It's amazing how much knowing how to use gear is infintely more important then gear itself. That said I realy need to invest in a good light.

[@BradyBessette]

just one can go a long way!! thank you good luck!

[@FilmSpook]

Thanks from the heart for these excellent suggestions, brother! And your dark/moody acting at 2:35 is ON POINT, man; I'm very impressed! I'm gonna start calling you "Brady Bates." 😅 Once again, much love and appreciation for you and Sara, you two are Legendary Talents. All the Best. Carlos

[@BradyBessette]

Ahahaha thank you so much

[@Quicez]

7:50 - that look every cinematographer has when they are going to haze up the room, haha! It always creates great results! Thanks for a great video, champ! I love these kind of videos, man

[@BradyBessette]

hahah thank you!!

[@stansmithie]

I just found you, and I must say, I already adore this channel ! Thank you so so much. ♡ Greetings from Greece ♡

[@thebinodpanda2]

Honestly idk how all this happened, but I get the urge to like Brady's videos within the first 2 seconds. Not even kidding or anything, I legit just felt that urge.

[@BradyBessette]

Hey I won’t stop you

[@alesios73]

The Rembrandt lighting was used as a term to describe his lighting in the movies, by the great Cecil B. Demille. Nice vid!

[@thelostdude575]

THIS IS SO HELPFULLLL. SO MUCH INFORMATION FOR FREE!!

[@BradyBessette]

it comes at a cost Desi the bill is in the mail

[@TTLSTUDIO2024]

Finnaly i got you as a teacher who is teaching me lighting cinematography that also free thanks bro god bless u

[@oregolelefinger]

I was really waiting for this video 😭😭 glad you posted

[@BradyBessette]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@AaleenMurtezaa]

The headlight tip was a great new addition to learn!

[@BradyBessette]

Isn’t it so cool! It came to me randomly! Had to share

[@shedrachclement]

This really beat down cost for low budget filmmakers... thank so much Brady for this creative journey with you❤

[@Jasonsegade]

Great man been an actor for years and always had the eye for directions so I’m learning lighting etc at the mo and you’d channel is very inspiring. I love photography and playing with flash light but constant light is what I want to master. I’m following you now, so Looking forward to seeing your other stuff

[@faysalmukalazi]

This is one of the best cinematography channel on KZbin right now

[@BradyBessette]

No Waaay

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@torrfisk]

I came across you fairly recently and I'm so glad I did! Lots of useful information for noobs like me. Thank you! By the way, I noticed from this video that you don't shoot in S-Log? Keep doing what you're doing!

[@saralotusmusic]

Very helpful tips! Thank you :) Could you share names and links to all of your equipment please (lights, filters, camera)? I would love to experiment with self-recorded home videos so your tips would also be highly appreciated. You rock!

[@Thomeography]

Bless you 🥺I've only made short films with a greenscreen and literally no lighting setup whatsoever. I can do more now after watching your videos 💜

[@guillermomultimedia3507]

Thanks bro, you are helping me a lot to be a better DP, hugs from the Dominican Republic

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you very much!! Cheers!

[@sashaalexandervorobyev2070]

Good stuff man! Would be cool to see shots where camera moves. Thank you for your tutorials!

[@BradyBessette]

yeah I try to do some with and without movement, thank you!

[@surinderchouhan86]

Man i always learn a lot from you. Love you brotha 🙂

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you very much

[@RodneyMorgan]

You never seize to amaze me...! How did you install a gel in the softbox at 4:24? Do you ever have problems with gels melting using that method?

[@BradyBessette]

thank you so much!!! I clipped it to the barn door, the light was only at 4% so I wasn't worried but..yes I have melted gels before lol

[@josephemmons8496]

I use top lighting all the time for this kind of B-roll or other shots where we just need to bring up the ambient light in the room. Good stuff Brady.

[@BradyBessette]

thank you so much !

[@jason.taylor]

You are awesome. I have nothing to do with camera angles but watching your videos is a pleasure. Keep up the good work.

[@BradyBessette]

sounds like some masterclass material ;)

[@pacific_images]

Thanks for sharing all those tips, this was very helpful !

[@Bthefilmer]

This is a super good tutorial. I would like to add there is a key thing that you do in every shot that for me when I figured this out was a huge difference maker in my lighting, which is shooting shadow side.

[@juliangrutzner]

amazing video:) the best channel on youtube for sure!!! Could you explain how you set your white balance in camera when you use different lights and practicals?

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you! It depends on shot but if I want a true white I set it to what I know my light is

[@funplay3727]

This video gave me lot of idea and clarity so tjanks bro❤️for this sharing

[@JacobVossFilms]

Great stuff man - loved the piano shot especially

[@BradyBessette]

[@BradyBessette]

[@createdshocked4700]

That's great video to show how to use light. Problem is maybe when the light is from bulb E27 "maybe". I think the sunlight is a bit too bright, for me.

[@alfredjohansson172]

1. Emulating sunset 2. Hard grungy light 3. Rembrandt lighting 4. Profile edge light 5. Television light 6. Car's headlights 7. Hard backlight 8. Top lighting

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!
