Tarantino does this in almost every movie, but leaves the hard spotlight unmotivated just as it is. Django unchained and inglourious basterds in the bar scene for e.g

[@abhishekg5019]

I think that's because of Robert richardson DOP🤔 is that true..

[@-NHMeasures-]

Everything you see on a Tarantino movie it's his decision. Also Richardson has talked about this in some interviews.@@abhishekg5019

[@jmalmsten]

Yeah, I was thinking of Tarantino films as well. In Hateful 8 it's almost silly how blatant the spotlights are left there, at pitch black night. In the old west. In the middle of non-electrified nowhere, snowed in a hellish blizzard. Where there's at most an oil lamp or candle, maybe a fireplace to motivate any illumination. And yet, there are those strategically placed 1K spotlights placed above every table and other choice spots. But, I think it could be just that. That the audacity of it makes me forgive how wrong it is. "It's so overt, it becomes covert" as Sherlock Holmes said... I think. Or as the DP said while lighting the battle of Helms Deep: "The light comes from the same place as the music."

Brady is so nice to see how much you've grown since the Vermont days. Keep it up brother, it's lovely to see all the cool stuff you're making.

[@BradyBessette]

That means the world and I’m glad we’re all growing together , thank you.

[@soyJulianR]

That's right, thank you, brother.@@BradyBessette

[@threefoldtv]

YES! The free bounce from the desk is such a dope eye light.

[@skyscraperphilosopher8476]

Great video! When using the table as a bounce like this, how do you balance getting enough exposure on the faces while also not overexposing the table?

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

Great question

[@rathuone3001]

Always expose for highlights and fill in the shadows in your case you can use room tone bounce a light in corner of room at 1℅ power Or more till your face is visible then crush shadows in post

[@WhySteve]

I've been thinking about bouncing table light or shooting overhead lights a lot lately, so this is pretty sick seeing it in practice!

[@YuvakTuladhar]

Great video! I am learning a lot from you but I realized most of the lights I have are not powerful enough. So I went out and got Nanlux 1200, Godox 600bi, and Godox LD150R. Now I will try to recreate things you have demonstrated! I am just an amateur but I realized lighting is more important than the latest camera. Thank you! Your videos motivated me to take more serious approach in lighting!

[@michaelrollock9810]

Loving your videos man! 💡🎥

[@baxslatton]

And on this day, I was learnt

[@matthew__fuller]

Great video Brady! I’m very new to the world of filmmaking and your channel is giving me some great insight and inspiration.

[@GlobalShutterNY]

And another variation on this concept- ‘Skip lighting’ - where light is bounced from further away rather than directly overhead…

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great suggestion. And a clever means of achieving the look.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@johnstewart3391]

thanks for sharing!

[@schoeferfilm]

Perfect as always Brady 👏 best cinematic greetings from 🇩🇪 🎥

[@BradyBessette]

Aw thank you so much

[@kit888]

A grip told me that one DP he worked with, always carried a white sheet to throw on the ground for bounce light.

[@DOPDahr]

Hey it looks amazing can you please give the RGB values or amran light color you used or Gel

[@videocasetteTV]

Cool , why you do not try u curved reflector in outdoors shooting at noon

[@BrandonWells]

ah I love this. great intimate vibe

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@brewmethods]

Boxes all over the shop, video still looks so epic!

[@Ranger7Studios]

Nice job! Best of luck with the move!

[@hauntedwonderlandproductio1013]

Let’s gooo!

[@BradyBessette]

Thx :)))

[@hauntedwonderlandproductio1013]

@@BradyBessette I love these small short form lighting videos you put out. I have done something quite similar recently on a short I did, and it works out greatly. As the great Brady says “motivate your light” that needs to be on a shirt. Let’s make it happen. Lol

[@racooninvasion]

Your videos and knowledge are awesome man.

[@ckhicks]

It’s a beautiful shot, nicely done!

[@ocontodascoisas6727]

Great great great 👏👏👏

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@skymakai]

"Underrated" I see what you did there!

[@jeremiahdombach9651]

I love your content man! Keep up the great work!

[@skykim_]

Love it Brady! Keep inspiring brother!

[@frenchfryproductions8025]

1:38 Match cut between hair buns lol

[@SaintProductions1]

Nice

[@andressarmiento7948]

Love this!!!! I did something similar recently and at the moment it felt unconventional lol Keep it up!

[@LivForEarth]

Very cool much talent

[@rakeshdharan1571]

Did u face any problem of white reflection from the muslin cloth in the spectacles of the lady?

[@BradyBessette]

I didn’t actually!

[@Shotsbyluis]

I love Brady videos. Do you use color spectrometers?

[@BradyBessette]

I don’t! Thank you 😊

[@SlamBradley]

Watching now

[@BradyBessette]

Enjoy!!

[@studio17films82]

❤

[@ErenYeager-uy8ej]

W ,👍👍

[@IsomPhilips]

Was wondering if a lantern softbox with a skirt overhead would achieve the same look

[@BradyBessette]

Hey! Not necessarily, the light would feel like it’s coming from above mainly , but still a nice look!

[@arlenaholmes]

Very Cool ...looking forward to the breakdown. By any chance is this done with stand ins or directly on the day of shooting?

[@BradyBessette]

This was all done on day of!

[@thomas_siegl]

Robert Richardson Signature Lighting.

[@obarovft314]

finally, a lighting video cuz I was getting bored

[@BradyBessette]

Lol well here you go

[@NobuhikuObayashi]

I call this the bob richardson

[@dp_zee]

It's a good lighting style, but in the context of this location I personally don't understand it. If it was a home office, or a guy working late at night in an office where everyone has left, id see it . But a bank? With a customer... Just doesn't seem realistic to me. This isn't a knock of the execution. I just don't understand it

[@thearabicdp]

Love this but it should be said that the lighting should be part of the context. The lighting you had was dark and moody but then you said it's in a bank. It would have been nice if you can expand on that and say something like that lady is staying late working on an evil method to take over the world for example. Then that lighting makes sense. Otherwise banks like that are bright with fluorescent lighting.

[@masonzbrown]

Looks like you've been watching some inglorious basterds! ;)

[@QUIEQUI]

Hey Brady. I love your videos. You're so great. Just...wtf with the nails? Seriously? Not fit you , imho. Thank you for your work. ;-)

[@anastasopoulos8618]

Typical Robert Richardson moment

[@GiorgosMufatsaAthanasiou]

but who is actually rating ways to light
