Cinematic Lighting Tutorial - Lighting Small Spaces

[@adsertheblade]

It's amazing how much time and work can go into filming a 10 sec scene, but the difference is incredible.

[@keshavrathi1335]

This is so informative. It feels like I'm being taught properly at the set itself. Please please make more such in-depth tutorials

[@FilmSkills]

Thank you - I produced several courses to teach you the entire filmmaking process. You can check them out at www.FilmSkills.com

[@kendigProductions]

Just this small but extremely valuable tutorial will help so many understand how to break up light with color temp and controlled shadows. There is so much to learn from this video it's astounding.

[@FilmSkills]

Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@klutchpaxx9249]

Most definitely learned aLOT in this even with some experience

[@스튜디오고유]

I've never seen this much well organized and practical lighting class.

[@marcowenzel3399]

every once in a while you come across a BTS/tutorial, you really see the skills of the presenter! Such great tips and insights!

[@teacherofteachers1239]

My principal interest is education, but I started doing a little video work in the last couple of years, and I must mention that this is a fantastic example of how much can be clearly explained and demonstrated in twenty-six minutes without rushing. - Dave

[@gerardoornelas1319]

this video its better than a class :) Love it, Hi from México!!

[@FilmSkills]

Hi Gerardo, thanks so much! And hello from LA!

[@Jojiedits]

Yo también soy de México gueeeeee

[@shadeburst]

For extra "on location" authenticity, one of the tungsten bulbs is dead... skill is technical mastery and creativity combined! Bravo.

[@YorelCairo]

This is one of the best breakdowns ive seen!!

[@FilmSkills]

Thanks so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@NivekProAnimations]

Agreed. I learned a lot

[@markyoung3981]

Agreed

[@rewantsingh5864]

You are Amazing 👏 ❤ 💖 💕 Lots of love from INDIA 🇮🇳

[@AbuYussuf]

Amazing!. We always watch films but never knew what evert goes into making one scene.

[@DarkBlood666]

I've learnt more in this 20 min video. than the hours I've spent watching other tutorials.. wow.. really well done.

[@FilmSkills]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@doriansean7819]

This is amazing stuff! I love the way you made highlights and shadows for that 100 million dollar cinema look. The actress acting and the sound makes it all come together like magic!

[@bergalves7160]

Man, you are incredible. His teaching is impressive.

[@nickvokey]

This series has the best lighting information on the internet. Theory is great, but watching a pro in action is incredible.

[@gmu6081]

Incredible what light can do. I've learned so much about lighting a scene from this video alone.

[@aerozg]

This is gold, thank you so much for sharing all this for free! Amazing tutorial! This channel along with the Wandering DP are currently my two favourite film making youtube channels.

[@orangebetsy]

This is absolutely golden. My apartment and nearly every apt in NYC also has that light paint walls and it's all over the place

[@SubhadeepGayen]

Once of the best tutorials on lighting I have seen

[@Bowdaddy4truth]

Wow, this is an excellent demonstration of how topics like this should be taught. Felt like I was there and no detail was left out. Kudos. Truly makes your entire course well worth the price.

[@FilmSkills]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@natedivesdeeper7344]

This is fantastic, one of the best lighting tutorials for filming small spaces that I've found on here. Thank you so much!

[@FilmSkills]

Thank you!

[@LAPFILMSUGANDA]

wow nice lighting technics i love this i have been stuck in lighting but you have open my mind thank you film skills

[@FilmSkills]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mossaab.loghzal]

iv been in a set before and I couldn't catch all of the informations just watching the action but thanks to this vidéo that went from a boring set with no cool deco and light to a cinematic and deep look, thank you Mr and the team for this vidéo and keep it up

[@hakeembryan9474]

This looks really good! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@motioncolors]

Wow. The best lighting tutorial I have ever seen. That bathroom looked so boring in the beginning, yet you made it look really good at the end! Camera move was really smooth too

[@LikeAGentlemanPlease]

This is the best channel on KZbin

[@rkotarantu4694]

This is now my favourite channel. I haven't even finished the video and you've answered so many questions!

[@davidwebb091370]

very informative approach to control lighting in a cinematic way! thank you very much for sharing!

[@whoabrian]

This was fantastic! I love the detail. He explained everything! Even putting the sandbag on the tall leg. Love that!!! More of these please!!!

[@gamerbatcha1389]

i literally clapping after watching the final result well done am also new in this work

[@shaneharrison4172]

I Love your teaching technique.. also that you used more budget friendly lights to make a professional scene

[@Sethmotley]

Now this is how you show a lighting set up break down, it’s not confusing like Aputure lighting tutorials. Great Job

[@BlaineWestropp1]

Absolutely great work here. Bathrooms like this are really tough and you really transformed it beautifully!

[@smilesdigitalarts2854]

I have perused KZbin for lighting tuts but trust me your everything is so awesome and way better. thanks so much boss

[@KedarRai]

Amazing video sir. Thank you so much. I am from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@WillNort_]

Wowwww! The power of the light and a good organization, framing, etc. Thanks for sharing

[@HilderbrandVision]

This something I been looking for months. You earned a subscriber

[@davidbasset7557]

great video. i prefer the warmer color grade bc the final grade shown makes it appear like a moonlit night scene

[@saikatchattopadhyay8263]

I don’t know if I should add some suggestions. The tutorial is top notch and some points , which are not even mentioned in other channels, have been covered very well. However , two things I want to suggest , one is not to use tapes on walls . Premium sets might get damaged if tapes are applied like that directly. The second point is bit of aesthetic . Rather than fighting with the blue incoming light from bedroom, imo it would have looked better if the color temp on camera stayed the same and the key + hair light dialled warmer . That would have created an organic complimentary tone . Although it’s just my personal opinion. Overall a fantastic tutorial . Thank you .

[@JTguitarlessons]

Oh, are you going to give personal suggestions to the guy who works on professional film sets? Lol

[@FrankHunes]

You are right but yeah he said himself it‘s just a matter of taste, depends what you are looking for

[@funk4ever]

Hey man. Wow. incredible.

[@KevinStCroix]

Looked nice. The digital zoom in post helped you achieve the zoom in.

[@burakosurya]

for about 10 second scene, so much effort !

[@owenblum9441]

Really impressed by the softness of that ledgo tube you used as your key, I would usually have to put some kind of bounce to fill out the under eyes when doing that kind of toppy light but it looked great

[@FilmSkills]

Great idea, but you’d see it in the shot, which is why I didn’t add one :-)

[@newnowproject8730]

WOW! One of the best tutorials and breakdowns I've seen! Thank you so much for this!

[@punkfacexo6066]

I had no idea so much work was necessary to recreate such a simple natural daylight in a bedroom/bathroom. This is going to make me appreciate interior scenes a whole lot more now that I know how many things have to be involved on the lighting alone!

[@punkfacexo6066]

and the hassle David Fincher probably had to go through 😂

[@chadpalmercrisis1723]

🔥 step by step guide is amazing 👏🏽

[@ThePodcastStudioMiltonKeynes]

Absolutely insane that this is free to watch. Literally adding zeros to my invoices. Thank you so much!

[@joeschlicht]

Excellent! Are you pulling a focus on that final shot?

[@OrganizedGrimeFilms]

This was great. I love the detail you put into explaining the whole thought process and setup. Thank you

[@guguemichaels]

Nice one brother! 🎥👍🏾

[@asokkumarray4236]

Excellent demonstration.

[@MartinBlasick]

Amazing tutorial. I learned so much. Wonderfully done.

[@bsr_cinemagic]

Amazing work. Thanks for the tutorial

[@jojoowens9309]

One of the BEST small space lighting tutorials I have ever seen, very valuable information. This video definitely helped me out in different ways, thank you sir. 👍👏👏👏

[@tpmediagroup]

Lisa FINE as hell! The tuts is cool too (though I already knew the process..one of many ways)

[@JuhaRantala]

This is just what i've been looking for. Subscribing for sure..🔥🔥

[@YuvakTuladhar]

Really good demonstration. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@OlgaKuznetsova]

This was so cool to watch!!! It takes so much work and skill to create cinematographic lighting!

[@FilmSkills]

Yes, it does, but that's why it's such an amazing art form. And thank you :)

[@arjunan.b4072]

Loved the way you explain everything, even kids can light up after watching this sir ❤️, Love from India 🤝

[@gopikrishnaraju]

Absolutely a masterclass!

[@samdsouuza5094]

First of all please allow me a moment to thankyou. This was one of the most beautiful video I have ever seen. Thankyou so much for teaching us like this. I have always wanted to learn but due to financial crunch I couldn't do it but now I think God has sent someone for me.

[@FilmSkills]

Wow, thank you!

[@Twisted_Sound]

You sir ,you're a master on lighting any space

[@honeymani118]

the techniques shown in this video were amazing, thanks for that. what's the song in the final shot?

[@HilleCine]

This was very very good.

[@PhotographerLamya]

amazing information , Lighting is important for every photographer (video or photo) 💡

[@mjvicky1997]

Awesome sir. No-one share this types of pro things.

[@Samanomark]

Super solid tutorial! Thank you for providing this resource!!

[@recipetodelicious5791]

Excellent tutorial. Learned a lot! Loved the use of the Pavotubes. I recently got one and was puzzling how to use it best. BTW, what about the hot spot light reflection in the framed picture? 21:08 and 21:31... kill in post?

[@DjKarlVictory]

This is How Pro help others... dope tutorial

[@ikorroki4695]

Very nice, good job!

[@hibamidoume9178]

[@elvirm]

Fantastic tutorial, it perfectly blends theory and practice 🙂

[@reichardtadrienn1265]

This was super helpful! I'm just learning lighting and your explanation was easy to understand. Thank you for making this video:)

[@mario1up]

fantastic explanation thank you so much i learned a lot from this video!!

[@mq4oneseventyeight567]

OMG, this is really good!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@lucasbezerril6669]

this was unbeliaveble good, thank you

[@ThorCaes]

Awesome tutorial & interesting technique. I've seen an interview where Greg Frasier (cinematographer of Dune, Mandalorian etc.) mentions he prefers to use as much natural light & as little manipulated lighting. Which would totally go against this since you're taking away the 2 main sources of natural light. So I would actually be very curious how to achieve something similar, with that kind of technique. Not saying that either is right or wrong, since I think, as long as you get what you want to express, it can both be right. Again, awesome video! Thanks so much for taking the time & instructing us.

[@tbip2001]

Extremely well presented. Gave a very clear step by step approach. Ill take a look at the course

[@nikilragav]

This was a really nice breakdown! I wish you had shown the graded and cropped before lighting so it was a bit more of an apples to apples comparison. The controlled scene appears maybe a tad too dark, but I'm also wondering if that is partially because the before is overexposed?

[@Haza3137]

Wowwww absolutely amazing work

[@rameshrai4421]

FilmSkills....you long live...

[@Confident1983]

Best explanation i’ve ever seen. Thanks.

[@robintubes]

[@DethronerX]

Thank you so much. You covered so much and a lot of important stuff in this video

[@tombanks3245]

Excellent tutorial

[@LuisCDA]

Great lesson on lighting. Congratulations for your great work.

[@panthertv70]

Its very informative stuff..... Looking forward for more videos on lighting... Thank you.

[@blobcityrecords8918]

Awesome breakdown on the lighting from the top end. back in that little corner of the bathroom and the outside the window light. i added so much depths to the scene. using the original lights that was above the over head and the sky light outside the room killed the image in every way lol (sn. did one of your cameras slide off the quick release plate? lol)

[@eduardonery3260]

Great work. Thanks for sharing

[@elvispresley2542]

Outstanding

[@rafaeltoranzo98]

Awesome work! Thank you!,

[@bollywoodkahalla]

Thanks a lot for Beautiful Tutorial..Love from India 👍💐

[@bluefilmsltd]

Would love to see a night time version of this scene.

[@GAGANSINGH-td1kb]

excellent job

[@tubeman1983]

Awesome! Keep up the tutorials! Thanks! 😃

[@vladimirvelazquez5219]

Legend. Best video I've ever seen.

[@clbazar]

Love it, bud. Appreciate the process. When you hit the second position, I felt like just a tiny little bit of eye light would have helped her pop just a little bit. I’m not talking about 40s glamour or anything noticeable, her eyes being dark already, just seemed a little flat. What do you think? How might you have pulled that off? With what instrument/placement? Great content! Very real world, very useful.

[@FilmSkills]

I couldn't, which is why I didn't add an eye light. Because of the mirror, there wasn't a way to position an eye light without either the light source being in frame or creating a shadow on the wall, which we would have seen because of the mirror. If you consider, that eye light would have to be a specular and focused light source at least 6 feet away, with a very narrow snoot so it didn't spill everywhere. This creates another problem in that the actress would need to walk into that spotted light, and it would have cast a shadow on the back wall. And most importantly, given the dark tones of the overall frame - possibly for a horror movie, the lack of eye light actually serves visual story of the shot.

[@nithyanandgt7446]

Awesome Sir.... Thank you for all your works

[@FilmSkills]

So nice of you - we're happy you enjoyed it.
