Get that BRIGHT COMMERCIAL LOOK

[@Landonlacey10]

Honestly, this is my favorite channel right now

[@DanielBramme1]

Yes, this is really good...

[@FabricioBaroni]

yes, this is what we need

[@micopep1]

me too. i'm always here for the god lessons

[@rosskline]

Same

[@RedzuanFarah]

this is what we need. Knowledge.

[@HyperShift]

Thank you for actually making this look like a real commercial not some b-roll montage.

[@Marius_Film]

I wonder where this channel has been my whole life!

[@EpicLightMedia]

For those wondering how we captured my perfect audio in the house while I was talking about lighting... we used a toilet paper roll. For post processing we placed the roll in a bowl of warm water and sloshed it around.

[@bassbeats92]

that explains it XD haha nice video mate! :)

[@CarloMusco7]

I thought my headphones were broken.

[@namelesshidden]

double or single layer? you can't just omit important information like that!

[@BrianSantero]

You must have spent some serious cash on that TP roll. Move over Arri, audio's coming to town.

[@kobboy007]

U still have toilet paper? U damn rich guy. U got too much money from advertising. Need to unsubscribe again.

[@meirchaimo6960]

I really don't want this style of video to become too trendy.... Whoever is watching: Please don't tell your friends about this channel! I'm joking but I'm also not! Love your style; fresh not "trendy"and to the point! Kudos!

[@MaiElizabeth]

Hahaha I share your 'concern'. Because I want to copy it (whisper) hahahaha Haaahaha

After “accidentally” clicked the Skip Ad button, *Aight, Imma head out* Potato Jet is waiting for me

I tried clicking again!

[@AlexMcDaniels]

This humor is hilarious!

[@stevenuseda6317]

Lol you guys got me with the intro and the skip ad button.

[@man7909]

The noise cancellation on his voice throughout the hole video makes him sounds like the protoss leader from starcraft. XD

[@mineralsound]

The only thing to note here (which was touched upon in the video) is that you will need a massive amount of light to compete with the daylight coming through large windows. Here they're using 2x Aperture 300s, which are roughly equivalent to a 1K HMI. That's a lot of light! Alternately you can choose a tighter shot and move your light source in closer to the subject. Just be aware that you won't be able to pull this off with a 20W LED panel.

[@hatimkhalifa]

Hands down The best interview shooting tutorial on KZbin. I keep coming back to it time and time again

[@filipeko1991]

loved it! and tip with closing down apurture for close up love it! thanks

[@theoell2049]

People love you the way you talk and explained things clearly, not the other two guys .You have the skills and way of transmitting information so maybe you can teach to a university when you retire .

[@matthewnguyen37]

I've been looking for this sort of content. Lighting is so important, thank you for this! Keep 'em coming!

[@lancelascano4090]

One of the reasons why I subscribed in this channel is because of their humor.

[@bnnett]

I don't understand how 41 seconds of this lady telling me not to subscribe made me subscribe. Really not what I'm used to seeing on KZbin.

[@adriaopaulo]

Almost 60 years have passed since Brehm presented a theory of psychological reactance as an answer to your questions! :)

[@a.p.mexico1071]

Is a very basic rule named: Reverse Psychology, works perfect specially in kids!!

[@JotaCapella]

Potato Jet and Peter, you got that absolutely righ. 2000%

[@davidp158]

It's great to see someone embrace bright, cheery, high key lighting for a change! Many shooters default to dark and moody "cinematic" (ha!) lighting for everything they shoot. That treatment doesn't fly for a lot of commercial and corporate work. The 7' umbrealla is a good alternative to a large diffusion frame. I can't fit a 4x4' frame into my car, but I could find room for a large umbrella when collapsed. Q: Was the lighting difficult for Michelle to deal with? Overly strong lighting can be really tough on some talent's eyes. She doesn't appear to be squinting, so I guess it was fine for her.

[@EpicLightMedia]

Thanks! Yeah it wasn’t too bright for her. I’ve noticed diffused light even if it’s bright usually isn’t a problem. I think it’s important to have the lights already on and running when the subject enters the room. If a light is turned on once they sit down they might comment about the brightness more often

[@davidp158]

@@EpicLightMedia A trick that can help is to have the talent close their eys and "look" directly into the light. This will allow their pupils to partially adjust to the light. Then, have them redirect their "look" towards the camera (or interviewer) position before opening their eyes. This can help people who have overly sensitive eyes.

[@globalmakerproductions8443]

@@EpicLightMedia Thanks once again for a tip I can use on set. Every detail is important -- in a days shoot -- when how comfortable your model or client "feels" when the camera's roll -- grateful !

we are subscribed! and we WILL NOT unsubscribed! we are fans, Michelle!

Dude. Your channel is gonna blow up. AMAZING CONTENT!!!

BY FAR my favourite video channel! Peter mckinnon talk too much without saying any thing. I'm learning here more than i learned from my arts college

[@alecmuellervisuals61]

Epic Light Media is one of my favs on KZbin right now. You guys rock!

[@androidwitness5899]

You are amazing. The only channel I am aware of that asks to unsubscribe and dislike you. That definitely deserves like. Majority of so-called youtubers are annoying for constantly asking for likes and whatever. And you are the opposite. Awesome.

[@RickValasek]

Love the "Ferris" ending..."Why are you still here?"

[@spec-productions5733]

". . . . . . . . . . . . Really?"

[@matvte]

Your sense of humor is as huge as your heart. Love your videos.

[@sahitanand]

Absolutely loving these. Could you please make a video about exporting and uploading settings. Your videos looks so rich and crisp, despite KZbin compression. Would love to know what you recommend we do when it comes to exporting and uploading.

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

His videos are shot in 4k and exported in 1080..obviously it will look crisp

[@ThijsGoedegebuure]

Yeah I've been wondering the same thing! And maybe talk a little about settings up your monitor for editing, I noticed my tv looks very different from my 4K IPS Monitor. Whats the way to setup your monitor so your exports look as great as possible on all kinds of devices?

[@joseloco16]

Me tooooooo!! Haha

[@AmineHamouda]

i feel like i should've have paid for this!! ... quality content right here... as a freelancer this is so much helpful

[@PatrikDespojo]

That commercial... Absolutely earned my subscription!

[@AthanCondax]

The sad part about these videos is that, when they end, I know that I’ve released the maximum amount of dopamine in my brain for a while. The next coming days will be dull, lacking anything exciting or interesting. I won’t be happy, nor will I be able to enjoy a full erection either. I’ve learned to cope with it, but I will still pass every coming day wishing for yet another ELM video.

[@vince6625]

Your channel is so much more informative than those of the people you mentioned at the outset. I enjoy a lot of their content. But your content is invaluable.

[@MojoPapiFPV]

I'm so glad you talked about raising the Aperture/TStop value when changing to tighter lens. This is so often overlooked, even by seasoned pros. It is definitely not common knowledge. Everyone must have skipped that day of school.

[@seanchen4439]

This guy is really sharing industry know-how and real professional insights rather than just drawing attentions to get views with very few real content like many “KZbinr” do 🎉

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

I am soo sorry..😭😭😭 I can never unsubscribe..plus i thumbs up the video and always come back for new video..sorryyy!😭😭

Video: plays Me: ok fine *clicks the ‘button’ Video: doesn’t do anything Me: *clicks again* Video: still playing Me: ...dang it, I fell for it

[@ZAMIRFILMS]

I did it way more than once. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jrshaul]

I'm a photography student, and this is better than anything I've seen in a textbook. Showing the "low effort Zoom meeting" baseline indicates what to expect - and to fix - before lighting and each step is clearly explained in context. You worked with existing light in ways I would not have tried to produce quality results with less equipment and labor. And as a still photographer working solo, less is always more. Incidentally, I can guarantee that umbrella will work with HMIs - a lot of traditional strobe heads had 500w halogen modelling lights and those big 4800Ws flashtubes get pretty toasty.

[@Daunnet]

Nice content Epic Light Media!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@cescon9958]

Yesterday I made a note to research how to light commercials because of an upcoming project... And boom this shows up in my feed first thing in the morning lol

[@LuisFernandoImperator]

Your video helped me tremendously, dude. But the reason people don't use big white umbrellas is because you're losing A TON of light by reflecting half of it on the inside of the umbrella. That's the reason you're not getting enough output. A bowens-mount softbox would change your life. Keep up the good work. Your channel is great

[@jud3son]

Nice job on this video. A note on the umbrella. You often have to be careful that the light isn't in front of the camera where if you don't flag flag it, it washes out the blacks or even flares. Plus, if you plan to use it outside, it requires a windless morning.

[@davidbroughton5237]

This is correct. Umbrellas canNOT be used in the afternoon or evening.

[@BenSemisch]

Interesting idea to use the umbrella. I come from the photography world and actually have one of those, but I'm often left wondering how to mount a light panel to it. Never thought to use a grip head, might have to try that on my next shoot.

[@MichaelWuerth]

A 5 in 1 reflector works also great! I have a 200x150cm that has a great diffusion surface. The umbrella would let more light through, I think, so it's also a nice tool.
