FILMING DAY 3: How to Make Your Set Look Good (Cool Lighting Tips!)

[@RodolfoMigliari]

Fantastic! This behind-the-scenes Masterclasses are very insightful and truly inspirational. Thank you! 🙂

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Very glad to hear that! A lot of work went into them 😂♥️♥️

[@MauricioJara]

You guys are my favorite channel right now. Such a breath of fresh air on KZbin! I am so looking forward to seeing SPLASHBACK release soon!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yay! Thank you!

[@welchworks]

Easily the best BTS content. The pacing, information, comedy ...and let's not forget the cool, bluesy vintage rock-n-roll bgm.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yea!! Glad to hear it! Thank you!!

[@sunnynaguri]

From the looks of it, the projector shots turned out very good. I didn't expect that. And the fan, so good. It elevated the lighting and mood off that scene.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yes, the projection shots turned out great!! Black and white look helps a bit, of course!

[@catwithmachinegun]

This most recent series has been absolutely beautiful. I've been a fan since Slice of Life, and I can't wait to follow y'all through more and more behind the scenes greatness!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thank you for keeping up with us! ♥️😉

[@ChaosCanyon]

You guys make such awesome stuff, including these great BTS episodes.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@ZetaPrime77]

As always, very nicely done. You guys never fail to impress

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks again! 😚

[@monkeybonez6159]

Love it. Inspiration from gravity at work, Newton would be proud.

[@ValentinFelder]

Thank you guys, it's so great to see your workflow, especially your lighting and projection solutions. I always felt bad for lighting my scenes with cheap Ikea lamps and self made cardboard reflectors, but in the ends it's only important what the camera sees! :D - Keep up the great work

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Exactly! Back on Slice we used a lot of hardware store lights, cheap LED lights, flashlights... 😂 As you said, its only important what the camera sees! 😉

[@75_oranges]

Thanks for posting!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

You're welcome

[@matsnilson7727]

Great stuff! Love the enthusiasm and inventive, low-tech solutions. It always makes me wish I was involved in a project like this. 🙂

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot!

[@jean-pierrejoubert2438]

Very clever way to shoot this stuff. I’ve used iPad for closeups and it also works. Black magic cameras are very good. Love those lenses you used!!!❤

[@edmontonstormtrooper2493]

That was a lot of fun to watch!

[@robertcarey45]

Awesome video guys!

[@Shrenetor]

Another incredible video! The effort you guys put into everything is really amazing and super inspiring.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks for the nice words! 😚😉

A dilemma when green-screening a man getting into a car: should you put the chair on a platform, so that he has to step up into the car realistically? If you do, then when he stands outside of the far side of the car, you won't see his feet.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Good idea. Perhaps the platform doesn't have to be solid, more like a table shape with supports on each side. That way the legs could be seen...

[@chriskon6229]

This series is amazing, thanks making these and taking us along! Any news on the festivals?

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Glad you like it! Nothing exciting on the festival front. A few rejections so far. It's a 30 min film which is always a problem. They always prefer 10-15 min films.

[@chriskon6229]

keeping my fingers crossed! @@sliceoflifefilm

[@dougrobinson5706]

Man, Luka...you look tired in this video. However, like not having a 4k projector, it doesn't detract from the video. Nice work as always; I'm taking notes on your production techniques. PS the fly swatter falling in the urinal and the inspiration it gives George is a very nice story element.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yes the HD projector worked, but I hope next time we'll have better equipment 😂

[@AnastasiiaPetrych]

Yeah, guys, Luka and Dino, you look very very tired... Filming a shot in 3 mon - that's a miracle :) Who felt asleep at 0:20? :D

[@dejangotic]

Hm don’t know... Dino always looks like he is on hyperactivity drugs of some sort to me... So far I haven’t seen him in low energy mode at any point, he is like a child in the sandbox playground!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yeah, tired. And it's only day 3! It's going to get worse! 😂

[@FredIreland]

I'm new to using projection and green screen in production. Why did you use projection in this scene instead of just filming in front of a green screen and adding the background in post? Thanks and love what you guys are doing, keep it up!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Well you get instants results in camera and eliminate the extensive post production work. That alone makes it worthwhile. Also, I'd say that in some cases it looks more natural.

[@dougrobinson5706]

Ok, so was the flyswatter falling in the urinal by design, or a happy accident?

[@sliceoflifefilm]

It was scripted! It was an important plot point.

[@freeedward8]

What about the sound? From this clip, it's obvious it is indoors, not outdoors. How did you fix this?

[@sliceoflifefilm]

We shot with a boom mike, but all actors had lavaliers as well. We also did some post processing to eliminate reverb.

[@pgenterprise1988]

You people should add some Air flow.
