Rainy car scene, high key look on a budget, 8 looks with 1 light were my favourites. I'd like to see perhaps more budget lighting set-ups for cinematic scenes.

[@smepable]

I loved the Cove lighting technique and the Social Network recreation. I would like to see more Hollywood Recreation scenes including extra episodes on the grading process.

[@aebonstudio7193]

I work as a gaffer in LA, but I still just love watching these videos because they're so well presented and give great results.

The "Make your own sunset" is my favorite video and I'd like to see a video on more stylistic lighting.

I JUST LOVE TO WATCH HOW U MAKE A WHOLE SENCE VIA LIGHTING AND I DONT CHOESE A SINGLE VIDEO OF URS COZ OF EVRY SINGLE VIDEO IS HELPFULL AND AFTER THIS A FALSE COLOUR IS MY FAV WAY TO EXPOSE FOOTAGE....

[@kyankuatois]

How to light with cheap lights and with only one light source have been my favourites of yours. Super helpful for those of us just starting out to get a handle on how to get amazing results using things we already have access to❤

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much Kyan!

[@sawfpv289]

“How to properly set white balance” is one of my fav video on this channel. I didn’t know about to set white balance properly between multiple light temperature. That’s so awesome and I could learn a lot from that video. In the future I hope to be able to see about script writing and creating storyboard for 1min commercial shots.

[@squigglydigglyhead]

the car scene was my favorite. i liked how easy it was to follow without needing super crazy high-end equipment!

So helpful! I've always used false color to gauge the subject, not the background first. This changes everything.

Brady seriously thanks for covering false color haven't been able to use it yet but I've been looking into getting the ninja, particularly really appreciate telling us which colors represent shadows and highlights and What colors are for skin tones 👍🏻👍🏻 I watch a lot of videos from other KZbinrs And you see this tool all the time but they never talk about it So thank you!

That’s a good challenge ! Thanks josh!

I really liked your rainy car scene video, the dynamic lighting and how you made the scene was amazing. I would really like to see more specific scenarios of how to set up lighting like a tutorial for a dinner scene or a candle lit shot!

Hey thank you!

[@Kaotix_music]

dude, ive watched so many of your videos for the last year or so after i got into cinematography during the pandemic, idk how youre not at 1 mil + subs. You are truly the GOAT when it comes to lighting, framing, knowledge, literally everything. I just got myself an Atomos Shinobi and finally have the ability to use False color and just did a test with it and i never had a shot exposed so perfectly ever...like ever.

[@EMakhonin]

Really liked your video on how to light a night scene, and also on how to defuse light. I would like to see from you more about room tone lighting and more about sunlight indoors scenes

You got it!!! Thank you

[@carlosfergo1022]

I have been looking to learn how to expose perfectly using false color, I have to say that this video did it. Thanks Brady, great job. My favorite video yet.

[@13TeK11]

Finally the YT algorithm suggested something interesting for a change!:D I would love to see a video about blocking a scene or how to direct actors, there are a lot of channels that talk about the technical aspects of the industry but there aren't many that delve into stuff like planning a scene out from start to finish.

[@BradyBessette]

Hey Tek! Thank you!!!

My favorite was the moving car scene, that was next level! I'd also love to see a video comparing different forms of soft light and how they look on skin

expose for what you cant control. Thanks for that gem

A (not so) hidden secret !

False color definitely changed my game at cinematography & I wish I knew it much earlier back when I started out! So if you’re starting out do this and don’t waste your time 👊🏼

Very helpful video. I've always tended to expose by eye, zebras and waveform but I'll definitely use false colour as well in future.

[@NIKONGUY1960]

I knew nothing about false color other than it seemed to be a 'buzzword' that I needed to know to sound cool. LOL. Good tut. And my fav vid to date is lighting a night scene you did with your equally talented GF who sings like a friggin' angel. And more 'how to' vids using situations that are applicable to a lot of people. Anything business related are always welcome. We spew about the latest and the greatest but so many of us know little to nothing about the business side of things. Rock on.
