A Must Know Lighting Technique: Painting Pools of Light

[@alexbadeau5027]

Great video ! Perfect timing as I’m DP for a project I’m directing this weekend. I love how you covered what Lewis Potts coined as the “checkerboard technique,” having pockets of light and shadow throughout to compose a more visually dynamic image. Again, great stuff !

[@rinusworldzm]

Brady... You're a beast at this lighting business. Thank you for how freely you share ypur lighting techniques. This has given me an idea for something I've been putting off.

Great job you inspired me a lot! God put light first!!! People dont understand how great is light when light is under control....

[@ShellyBHollis]

you've become one of my favorites on KZbin. I have a shit load of gear, but lighting is so important.

[@Mrim86]

the "checkerboard" approach. I love it.

Much love out there from me!

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Such a good tutorial of lighting techniques and how to apply them to different styles of lighting!

[@daslolo]

practical + key look the best

[@WhySteve]

Making it monochrome and checking for light contrast is an awesome way to make sure your image is balancing, I can't wait to give that a try at my next shoot! Your Instagram has been looking real interesting, I'm excited to see what you're up to. Enjoy the beer bro!

[@lazarkumaar9935]

Its very very usefull Thank you Master...

[@drumzforbumz]

Love the vid. Wondering, since you're not using any diffusion on the side tubes, what is the output setting on those assuming its on a scale of 0-100%? Love the breakdown and showing each lights being added in to create the look.

[@DanielKhuu]

Best tutorial yet, Brady! I really loved this format!

[@the-creative-block]

for me its helpful to start with a practical. it usually creates a good starting point for high-low exposure setups for my lights

[@luboyanev]

Thanks for sharing, Looking great! May I ask, what was the color temperature on the amaran f22c, and what white balance did you have on the camera? Thanks

[@thiagolimadop]

Great video! I think you should call the F22 the backlight, the cyan T4c the key and the right cyan T2c the fill one. I like starting from the backlight aswell, because there is where the kiss of light is.

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

Great video! Thanks for sharing this.

[@leedonohue]

ahhhhhh another priceless "shouldbeillegalcuzitssogood" bit of knowledge

[@BradyBessette]

Call 911 on me then

[@madebyjonny7637]

This isn't supposed to sound as blunt as it might sound, but it would be cool to do something similar to this but with a cost associated it, as I think this is what would be the major barrier to entry for most people. Not meaning "lets do this on a budget" but it would be nice to have a "this is the best setup for your money", e.g. a F22c costs less than a 300d but would a 300d be more practical therefore better value in the long run. I know the lights will be better suited for different situations etc, but just an idea! Love the videos you produce, excited by the idea of a course.

[@theseventh2609]

Thanks man 🎉

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Spot on that.

[@soyfilmmaker]

Thank you so much bro! Its interesting how the light can be change one scene, i love it! 👌🔥

[@lazarkumaar9935]

Thank thank thank and thank you...

[@demetrizuev258]

Thanks for the video! Can you please share how you mounted the tubes to a stand and wall?

[@aniefiokarchibong8572]

Thank you Brady

[@ryanflores642]

Great stuff! Thank you!

[@claytonmedic]

Love your videos man. Should have went with a lav mic on this one with you running back and forth. Audio was pretty up and down.

[@MichaelWeizenfeld]

Last tube just killed the contrast

[@JackMajor]

What mm did you use for the shots at 0:12-0:14? It looks so good!

[@micahreimerfilms]

Where did you get that clamp to mount the Aputure T4c on that light stand?

[@crisdon]

What would you set your white balance to in a scene like this? How do you decide?

[@marcusgoins1393]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesjoe5979]

I have a question! how did u use the sidus link to turn off the Nanlite Pavotubes? is that possible?

[@S9universe]

very interesting

[@Filmmaker_SZ]

Hi Brady, thank you for this amazing video! 👍 I believe you make good things because each guy who wants to shoot their own cool video must know how to do that! I think will be cool if we make any challenge to shoot the same frame differently way. What do you think about it? Thank you so much for your time.😀

[@UnknownSageMaster]

"Exposure pops" I like that

[@Kuliginvitalik]

What haze did you use?

[@Motionphile]

Great lesson as always 🔥 I'm more worried about electricity bill 🙊

[@obarovft314]

thats a lot of light

[@3-y86]

is there haze ? :D

[@learnvoiceart18]

খুব সুন্দর।

[@nocturnesound]

Thanks for a tutorial! I love videos about lighting technique. But I have to say this: 1) Last tube just killed contrast 2) Image so noisy (wrong ISO settings?)

[@mabitzz9484]

that's film grain on purpose

[@GabeNicotera]

Brady, would placing an aputure MC in a lamp be a sufficient alternative to the bulb? Thanks for making this video for us

[@filmmakingshorts8272]

This RAW Footage ?

[@kelpo_boi]

damn

[@kingmuhu]

Youre forgetting something! A ton of haze ;)

[@bluefilmsltd]

Brady! I like you but way too many lights for what you were trying to achieve. I felt you were overthinking it. The examples with less lights were more visually interesting, in my opinion.
