[@AyechinoProd]

It's refreshing to see actual directors and cinematographers making content on KZbin.

[@abecadlo66]

Can you recommend some other channels?

[@mribi]

Haha fuck yes, agreed. I love Wandering DP, who else is there?

[@AyechinoProd]

@@mribi I love Griffin Conway, Danny Gevirtz, Waqas Qazi, Mark Bone, Threefold, Epic Light Media, and Robert Machado.

[@Gleebi]

Wait.... Are you suggesting that everyone on KZbin isn't a cinnamontographer?

[@AyechinoProd]

@@Gleebi yes.

[@demetrizuev258]

The colors are amazing, It would be really interesting to see a grading breakdown on this spot 🙌

[@OmieBlue]

I agree the color grading looks so good!!

[@CaliforniaFrank]

Agreed

[@crabfilms4031]

yes man. i would die for those colours

[@demetrizuev258]

@Lewis Potts 100 likes, now you'll have to do it🙃

[@phokar5255]

When Lewis uploads, I stop whatever i'm doing and watch. My manager keeps asking why I just ran out the meeting and... oh now he's just staring at my screen.

[@KenFlanagan]

Thank you for the post. What a pleasant change these videos are from the over hyped usual KZbin bts breakdowns. Lewis’s low key and matter of fact demeanour is so so appreciated given he approaches all the set ups with such simple solutions yet achieving such excellent results. Simply the best cinematography breaks downs I have seen on KZbin and pitched at a professional level that anyone can learn from. Just a complete pleasure. Thank you.

[@daniel.lopresti]

Yeah, I'd go as far as to say the flashier a youtube video looks, the less inspiring its content often is. At least for solo operations where you need to prioritise where to focus your attention.

[@al201103]

Can't tell you how valuable this kind of content is for those of us wanting to elevate our projects and understand lighting better. Thank you so much!

[@thejackoss]

Love your breakdowns! I like how your setups are simple yet so effective. Love you color grading too!

[@ianyunis3580]

these breakdowns are always amazing, keep em coming!

[@asherhuskinson6815]

Great video as always! I love how you focus on the lights in the background. Small details that help us elevate our images.

[@kevosi]

best breakdowns - thanks so much for putting these out consistently! I really appreciate seeing how you shape natural light which is particularly helpful for low-to-no budget filmmakers

[@brandonpetersen10]

FINALLY! Love these no BS, super helpful shot breakdown videos. Keep them coming!!

[@GrizzlyVN]

Always a ton of great info in these breakdowns. Thank you for continuing to put these out there!

[@bashmutumba]

Been watching your videos for a while, and I finally shot my first indie short film yesterday (coincidentally on RED Komodo). I am so happy with the results so far, and forever grateful to you, Lewis.

[@reubengoingbelow]

Always a pleasure watching your videos Lewis, thanks for the insight!

[@mribi]

Epic Light Media always turns me onto great creators. You definitely have a new subscriber.

[@agudal8503]

Great stuff! Thanks

[@zanderwilll]

This channel is crazy. Even during the Ad breaks I learn things

[@genericmainer]

The squarespace ad was so good I watched it multiple times to get another look at the shots

[@migsflicks]

These are so helpful, keep killing it!

[@AaronMcCann]

Love to see a video on the importance of your ACs in commercial shoots or any shoot and what kits you’d recommend an AC have or bring to a set. Maybe even a guest commentary from your WA AC team… but, ya know… I can keep wishing :p

[@kites4121]

Thanks for the behind the scene look. It is incredibly helpful for us newbies

[@jopeteporlante6113]

Im always waiting for that ad time 🙌

[@carlobortoli]

Really incredible.

[@joemarvelly6181]

[@oniriscope]

I’m ready for this let’s go! [EDIT] This is what we call in French « concis ». I always enjoy these short forms of breakdowns, super informative and useful. Sending some love from Paris!

[@derekjcooper]

We've missed you Lewis!

[@aman681]

Loving your content mate.

[@JurWiersema]

Love the contrast 🙌

[@wearetrackclub]

Love the BTS shots in this one. Thanks for the breakdown, Lewis!

[@jannisnewiadomsky]

Thanks a lot ! I always learn something ! I would love to know more about production planing and general workflow on set (how many people your were). Thanks a lot !

[@amandayoung9884]

This was very helpful, thank you!

[@richardharmey8316]

Thanks so much man 😊😊

[@markkuwainman]

always a great day when you release a new vid

[@adambobroy7682]

That VFX shot was amazing wow

[@animusvisual]

This is incredible. Not only are you showing techniques on lighting but just how good the komodo can look in the right hands. Great job. Would be interested in seeing a breakdown of how it was rigged for this gig. Thanks for sharing as always.

[@lewispotts]

Thanks! Dan Stone is my AC give him a shout on insty I'm sure he'll answer questions

[@CafeCreativeYT]

Love the ad you shot for Squarespace 😄

[@sivovdop8208]

Thanks for the vid, I really enjoy your minimalistic solutions and the result they give. It would be such a pleasure to know how exactly you pick your lighting intensity, because sometimes there is no possibility to take LED's on set (on which you can choose the intensity), sometimes you have to work with tungsten light and you don't want to be over or underexposed.

[@KhurumKhan]

excellent info, thanks for that. Could you do a video with a breakdown of your colour grading process.

[@wildboybatko]

great work

[@chriscoxdp]

Fan of the channel, got my first running job on set with a dp called James Friend and directed by Mike Valentine. Those dolly's are heavy asf. Really love the content, has helped me learn loads so far and helped me understand professional workflow! You rock!

[@lewispotts]

Good to hear man!

[@trinimedia19]

Excellent breakdown

[@andrebanks2272]

Really dope breakdown of actual set. Also I like your striped shirt :)

[@alexbadeau5027]

Again this is very helpful !

[@ijyoyo]

Really neat. I'll have to try a large reflector with a light some time. looked like it gave off great light

[@Creativeseven]

Really really love your approach on your projects; learning so much from watching your videos on here. Squarespace ad is so sick btw..we need a breakdown on that just for fun

[@PeterDiBussolo]

Great use out of the komodo! awesome stuff man

[@SoundItOutFilms]

SO MUCH VALUE. Thank you!

[@beaugaughran4037]

So rad. Could we get an editing breakdown of your squarespace ad? Even that was so good.

[@JulioBHJ]

Making the Komodo look like vintage film stock, nice!

[@EnisMemic]

Dang that komodo rig is insane, would love to see a breakdown of it !
