Cinematic Lighting 101 | How to Light Black and White

[@TheoreticalLimit]

There is one mistake : The color temp is important on black and white, especially because it affects the intensity of the makeup. The Makeup artists play with specific colors in black and white to adjust the grey intensity. a color temperature is affecting how this make up will render. If you don't care, you can havec some eyelids that are too black or too white. Otherwise, there are some great information on light positionning and scene construction.

[@Fatherrdiff]

I’ve noticed that with editing photos

[@caitlinwhitaker1266]

Thank you for mentioning this! Color theory is important.

[@lucassiqueirahonorato7936]

what is the ideal temperature for external light?

[@bluefilmsltd]

Stopped listening when he said that colour temperature didn't matter with black and white. The effect is a lot more subtle than with colour, but it's still there..

[@stevendiffey9162]

Blue Calm Productions So true. Couldn’t agree more. Very poor advice

[@wyattwhite5006]

If you had kept listening a few more seconds you would have heard him say he was just kidding

[@entenfilm]

@@wyattwhite5006 no he didn’t

[@wyattwhite5006]

@@entenfilm haha yeah I think I was fucking with this guy, it was a while ago can’t really remember, thanks for digging this one up 👍

[@donricardoceramics]

I would love to see you do a video focusing on 'Lighting on a Budget'. How can I get awesome lighting by manipulating natural light or just using household lights.

[@HilainLarkin]

I'd love to see a video on how to light small spaces. Like how do you light a car interior scene and other similarly small spaces?

[@marcelo.vargas]

man he is so good at explaining, love black and white look and feel

[@ramyfares81]

Simple and to the point. In 5 minutes I've learned a lot. Thanks guys.

[@jungleafreeca1111]

COOL 😎

[@SleepingDragonsButler]

The word of the day seems to be "Awesome"

[@WELOVEFAKO]

Awesome. Cool. Awesome.

[@treyvollmerDP]

Very helpful. I have a 120 D and this really sold me on the 300D. Fantastic work guys!

[@StephenHildreth]

Aputure Casablanca, Sabrina, Citizen Kane.

[@balajishrinivas7148]

[@poppijoni]

The Miracle Worker (1962)

[@bastiandiekmann3596]

[@BlackWinterProduction]

A Hard Day's Night (1964), Spellbound (1945), The Third Man (1949).. lots and lots!

[@dunnadidit]

I would be really interested in seeing a video on using your LED panels, I think for a lot of KZbinrs and hobbyists, things like led panels seem to be a lot more practical than the 120d or 300d are(although we would all love to have them). Maybe a youtube space type setup using only LED panels?

[@aputurelighting]

Congratulations Dunna! We’ve chosen you as the winner of the free Amaran M9 Light for this Four Minute Film School episode. Please message our facebook page facebook.com/Aputure and we will sort out the details with you there. Thanks for your comment!

[@dunnadidit]

Aputure - Nice! Thanks guys! Hitting you up now!

[@JColeComedian]

Great vid! I'm making my first short film and have what might be a stupid, amateur question- Do these tips and techniques still apply if you are filming in color (video) and making it B&W in post?

[@AlexMilanese]

Would you please consider making a video about how to get the most out of the new Aputure F-7? I have it preordered and would love to see how you’d use it as a key, fill, rim light, etc. Basically, you guys are the experts, and I’d love to see how far you can push that little beast of a light. Can’t wait for it to ship!

[@benaycock1646]

So great!! Thanks guys!

[@ricekings]

Good job Nerris!

[@Ranger7Studios]

You guys seem to do a lot of night time lighting tutorials. I'm actually about to shoot as short film and I would love it if the A team could do an on location morning and early morning lighting setup. Thanks! :)

[@matthiascieslik5301]

[@jamaicamesik]

How about lighting a subject in a small/shallow space? I think the majority of people don't have a wide and deep studio to work with and need help getting a good shot with a small room!

I’d love to know how to light pool/underwater stuff. Both day and night.

[@yourhostedge7770]

so, cool

[@caseysnow9878]

Lighting with neon, whether it’s neon signs at a bar or at a dance club

[@dannycanton1475]

I would think that you would of added your rim light on the actress in the pool room scene on the other side of her head to mimic the practicals behind her.

[@bastiandiekmann3596]

Needs more "awesome"

[@SharpDesign]

A knife cut through fruit like a fang biting tender flesh, then the mystery began...

[@michaeljemery]

Useful content as always, but please stop saying awesome. The “slapping-hand-over-lens transition” is also very annoying.

[@linusorri]

Why do they start every sentence with "cool", "awesome", and "great"?

[@chalexdark2925]

How to light an indoor scene with only 2 lights ?

[@Owlbot]

Chalex dark one light as key, one light to cover/accentustr background, the ambient light is your fill. Use practicals to light the space and motivate your key, use your second light to punch up the practicals.

[@AllanEvansOfficial]

what was this shot on? Alexa?

[@jomamamac]

Looks beautiful. She shouldn't be using a chef knife in the dark. Worrying about her finger took me out of the narrative.

[@GlenRose]

Stops saying awesome at the start of every sentence, it's really annoying and brings down what would otherwise be a great educational video.

[@Michael_Galgano]

And this is how you get that terrible flat lighting in WandaVision. Color plays a lot in black and white

[@hivestudiosinternational]

These are great videos but please please please stop with the standard KZbinr “what’s up guys” and the Peter McKinnon practical transitions. You are leading the pack with your incredible gear, you don’t need to follow the pack with your content. It’s strong. Let it speak for itself.

[@lewiscranston881]

honestly if this bloke says awesome one more time.. 😠

[@biffsorenson693]

the most annoying bit of video i've seen for a long time

[@kentjensen4504]

Just found this channel. Subscribed. But am already considering unsubscribing due to the annoying and dumb over-use of the term "awesome".
