Brick Film School! Episode 2: Basic Lighting

[@PickleProductionsLtd]

Thanks for this tutorial. I've been looking for brickfilm lighting tips everywhere, and none have been as useful as this one.

[@SpeakingJargon]

Surprisingly insightful. I look forward to more.

[@DougVandegrift]

@JimA73 advice: Don't use LED. They pulse. And camera shutters will not be consistant. Instead go with Icandescent or halligan bulbs. Some florescents are fine too. LED=BAD. thanks for bring it up though.

[@Renegade-py6pc]

Your videos are great! I'm learning a lot. I know my next few will look a LOT better. Thanks!

[@whplague]

Love that you used a classic smiley head

[@DAVING0]

Great vid, you remind me of Nick Cage.

[@onelegostudio]

The black desk lamp looks like the one in pixar movie intros :))

[@Geoshi]

Dude, the tutorials are very helpful and informative, thank you for these!

[@DougVandegrift]

@beeniestudios it could be auto white balance or auto AE. Make sure everything is set to manual on the camera. See if that fixes it.

[@JosephDeRose]

this is really awesome!, its very helpfull and interesting. the trick with the folded paper is really nifty! thanks for the cool video!

[@vivorproductions]

My camera has it's own lighting system where it gives off light itself.

[@OrangeBug_71]

yeaz! you did'nt stop making them. i was afraid you did cuz i did not see one yesterday.... Anywayz, thanks for this, it will most likely help a lot...

[@festvence9743]

you just got yourself a subscriber!

[@Digger318]

Hey man, what i used is flexible USB L.E.D. lights connected to a USB strip hub. the light is a lot smoother plus they are only £0.99 each on ebay, or even cheaper if u can get them in asia

[@steffywok]

More please!

[@lego3x11l]

Awesome!!!!!

[@DougVandegrift]

@csavoy1 haha yes, but that's a bad habit to get into. "fixing it in post" is one of the worst and most expensive way to solve issues. Plus I haven't got into After Effects which is too expensive for most people and requires advanced computer knowledge.

[@JimA73]

@cannedgravy thanks!, thanks so much!!

[@ShaunzyTV]

I've got halogen and they change the light shades every so often

[@JimA73]

im having trouble on one thing when i do my brickfilms i use an LED light but when i go threw my pictures the light quality changes its really annoying and do u think u could help?

[@onelegostudio]

Nice

[@zach123461]

MAKE MOREEEEEEE PLEASEEEEE

[@beeniestudios]

hey... could you tell me how to fix this problem i have... sometimes during filming, the lighting (when i look through camera view) goes a bright yellow and orange color, and then i have a lot of light flicker. do you know how to fix all this?

[@PhilipLackey42]

U have that exact lamp!

[@altweirdcool]

I need help with lighting, i have 2 lamps, one is natural light (orangy glow) and another one is a bright ish one. I blacked out all my windows and I still get alot of flickr can you help? One of the reasons is the crappy fame capture program and i have a quickcampro 9000 for mac which is autofocus. Are there any GOOD free fram capture programs for mac? I use frame by frame

[@ShadowCrafts75]

I am A girl who loves legos and i don't mean friends, you have the greatest tips ever!!! But with my lego films I'm having touble inputing the sounds can you help me?

[@csavoy1]

or you could just color correct in AE. But this works too.

[@JSAirways]

what if ure camera just SUCKS!? On the screen of my camera, the lighting looks perfect! But once I take the picture, the camera adds even more white to the picture and then it looks horrible!! Any suggestions? cause I can't afford to buy a new camera...

[@MrFelixPlay]

Some one could help me? I am using Del lamp and when I put 2 of those with 1 normal desk lamp, the shadows are low. But I see 6-7 low shadow going in different direction.

[@hagen552]

@JSAirways What camera do you use?

[@JedCamara]

Has anyone ever told you that you have a strange resemblance to Nicholas Cage?

[@toadoftheheavens5018]

OMG YAS~

[@MrFelixPlay]

Do you have any suggestion for lighting with LED lamps?

[@Froiproductions]

If I light mine like a movie, the camera exposure gets messed up for me!!! :(

[@drdoom700da]

Can you help me with adding effects?

[@benzijr]

Why is there a giant blue screen .

[@GTAwesome]

whens episode 3 :(( i need help

[@tardiskeeper6]

When I film with lights like this I get severe flickering where either my shadow is projected onto the set/subject or the flicker rate of the lamp is an issue. It ruined everything I filmed. I stopped using the lights and it fixed most of the problem but I cannot control the lighting at all, just use room light. This puts me off animating

[@iTracti0n]

The problem with room light is that it'll change while you animate so you'll have severe light flickers which are terrible. And how about you use a remote from a distance so your shadow won't hover over the set.

[@tardiskeeper6]

I tried using localized lights and the effect was worse. I also can't remote control the camera as it's a compact not a DSLR

[@iTracti0n]

David G Have you checked your camera settings? Set them all to manual.

[@FuzzBallProductions191]

Try using room light + lamps. This work well for me as I make my brickfilms in my room and use what I have said above. If you want to know any more about message me via KZbin. Hope I helped! FuzzBall Productions
