get better at lighting doing 'this'

[@blasepivovar]

Appreciate you checking out this quick video. This started as a test in my living room as I was trying out a few different things and then realized I could edit a quick breakdown out of it. Let me know any questions below :)

[@undrwood]

this is SUCH a great way to do a lighting breakdown without any fluff. 10/10. more of this :)

[@blasepivovar]

[@AbdulbasitYT]

From the b cam pov When he came and sat on the chair with no lighting and just was lit with window, that was perfect, I prefer that look over all others XD, maybe the hair light was a nice touch but that's it

[@blasepivovar]

interesting 🤔

[@AbdulbasitYT]

@@blasepivovar trust me, I'm DP myself XD.

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks so much Fred! I like your yellow hat :)

[@FredTrevinoColor]

@@blasepivovar thanks! Let me know if you ever want to collaborate in some way with a colorist!

[@SummersSnaps]

Interesting, so did I see right that you had some hard light on the clothing but a softer key light for face?

[@blasepivovar]

Indeed :)

[@karannarula8287]

Great video Blase! Quick and upto the point. May I know how you managed to hang that back light (the Nanlite 60b) from the ceiling?

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks so much! Haha yes figured someone would ask. There is a plant ceiling hook right there in my living room. I simply attached an Impact super clamp to it. The hook is screwed into a stud, hence me feeling safe about the weight of the FS60B

[@VishnuAttiappan]

Calming.

[@blasepivovar]

Indeed :)

[@BourgeFilms]

Taking a look at how big the window is, I would think that all of the lighting placements are motivated by that? Now, when you used the harsher light on your clothing and the softer light on your face, was that motivated by the position of where the sun could be during that time of day? Does that sound about right? The lighting set up is fantastic! Subscribed!

[@blasepivovar]

Yep pretty much exactly my idea! Hence all the lights coming from the same side of the room. Have been trying to incorporate more hard light as of recent

[@BourgeFilms]

@@blasepivovar are you incorporating harsh light for a balanced, I guess you can say, “flow” of light? Pretty much where light is harsher and softer on some parts due to natural light positioning? I suck at lighting so forgive me if this doesn’t make sense 😂

[@blasepivovar]

@BourgeFilms yeah for setups where the motivation is the sun / window light, hard and soft light mixed can look more realistic. keep at it!

[@khoahuynh7123]
