Best lighting coach in the game. Always love watching these breakdowns so much!

[@THEwrexFILES]

Lewis is great. You should also check out Wandering DP. His stuff is great also.

[@TheSkwrl]

Yeah +1 for WDP. He covers Banshees in his Patreon breakdown.@@THEwrexFILES

[@vuhlandes]

Banshees was such a good movie. loved this BTS

[@Thedudemannn]

Hey Vuhlandes ! Nice seeing you here !

[@simonberube1544]

The only complaint I have about this video is that you should upload many more exactly like this. Super interesting and straight to the point, love it!

[@TimmySheehyVisuals]

You forgot to mention they’re using the donkey as neg

[@keeswillems4637]

So many videos calling themselfs “master classes in xxxx” THIS is the ONLY type of content that can call itself a master class. Literally explaining how something happens at the highest level of (art house) cinema. Thank you so much for doing this and please do it more :)

[@Gleebi]

Imagine how much time you would save if all youtubers did this. No Intro of themselves...no self indulgent info about their personal life...just straight to the meat.

[@greystone9509]

I definitely notice the lighting discontinuity for some reason 💀

[@Jawmsie]

Something about"If it looks good, that's all that matters." reminds me of a quote from Andrew Lesnie on Fellowship of the Ring. He was asked where a light was supposed to be coming from and replied, "Same place as the music."

[@tuckerkanderson]

Love all these breakdowns Lewis! Keep up the good work. Also, I'm sure I don't just speak for myself when I say I can't wait to see breakdowns for your own work and the feature you recently shot with the Alexa 35.

[@Cinnovations]

“If it looks good, that’s all that matters.” Great quote. Applies more often than some would feel comfortable, but we have to always remember that audiences won’t notice if the beauty overtakes the “continuity” or motivation. And of course great performances and story will very much occupy their attention.

[@aaaallday]

damn.... the undressing of a set like this is wild! thanks for sharing!

[@sam.oates_]

So good, thank you Lewis!

[@raizanong]

we all luv lewis 🐐

[@harikaerif1]

As an aspiring filmmaker, these videos are INVALUABLE! Thank you!

Omg new post yesss finally!!

[@jean-david-ouellette]

So rad! Thanks for doing this!

[@BoiseNewWave]

Thanks for these, not only are they informative but also chill af

[@nomadben]

These lighting breakdowns are the most interesting and useful videos about filmmaking that I've seen recently. Please keep them coming!

[@anselm100]

Everybody is so tight up about how things should be made or look. I love how easy going you are

[@guillaumecottin7251]

1:31 These “custom” lights are Maluna Lucioles: well known in Europe, France for example. Not so popular in the US. Tungsten.

[@PurposedLensPhotoMedia]

I know these videos take time to make.. but I always want them to go on!! Thanks for taking the time to make these great videos! It's amazing to think that we as consumers have access to some of the same things these filmmakers use! 😮 What a great time to live in! Thanks again for your excellent work! I appreciate it! 🙏🏾

[@flochfitness]

Holy smokes my favorite DP is back with a BANGER!!!

[@ChristopherCopeland]

My friend, Kris Kimlin, DP’d American underdog! Super wild to see it referenced on a video like this. thanks as always!

[@SamMcGhee]

It’s the monotone of voice that keeps me coming back.

[@Poppaneedsanap]

I can't stop hunting for this kind of thing now when I'm watching films/shows

[@patrickouziel]

Really nice breakdown!

[@DustinBairdsolo]

I get more excited about your new videos coming out than anything on KZbin. Thanks!

[@PratoPhoto]

Simple, straight to it, here is what I see and what they achieved by doing it. Great breakdown, earned my sub!

[@ckvaol]

God of lighting

[@CartyCantDance]

I literally love these videos so much

[@chidrass]

please breakdown Empire of Light, such a wonderful lightning and photography!!!

[@blake9746]

These breakdowns really help me. As others have said, please make more. Subbed.

[@_GhostGarden_]

Love these videos, thank you Lewis.

[@mittaw]

@ 2:20 The light outside was way warmer than the inside of the store. I'm wondering if they did that because they could sell the harsh light better. But you know who gives a fuck, it gives a peace of mind that we have some room for error.

[@RyanBartonGrimley]

These are amazing to watch Lewis!

[@leoodekerken1423]

I really like this type of video, I could watch hours of these

[@zbojko2720]

ngl i love these videos

[@diegoaldanadop]

I’ve never clicked on a video faster. I love your channel lol

[@flochfitness]

Same here!

[@PurposedLensPhotoMedia]

I did a double take.... then clicked FAST! 💨😂

[@rashadal-safar1931]

keep em coming man! love these breakdowns

[@AxiA]

awesome video! thank you for making these!

[@superinfinityfilms]

nice sony venice. love seeing it.

[@bryanwendland235]

You're the best, man. Learning and implementing so many lighting skills I've learned from watching your videos.

[@Mutagen215]

youre right about the lighting continuity in banshees but now that you pointed it out it bothers me

[@ehsan2222]

"If it looks good it's all that matters" i think saying something like this can get me fired 😂

[@-Flynn]

Really enjoy these videos. Would love to see you take a look at the lighting set-ups in some Fincher/Cronenweth films.

[@BoyBlessing]

Always love when you post Lewis. I learn so much every time. I'd personally love to see a video of you making cinematic images using only small budget lights like the Amaran 60D's. Would be rly inspiring for small one man band filmmakers like myself. Thanks for all that you do!

[@OliLewington]

I’d love to watch you do some deep-dive breakdowns of individual cinematographers, like Deakins, Kaminski, Conrad Hall etc and their various styles/approaches when it comes to creating certain looks. (Totally understand that’s a sh*t-ton of work, but if you don’t ask you don’t get, right?) Absolutely love your stuff, mate

[@lucasj7192]

That softbox reflected on the car window lol

[@danipallares02]

Omg! I watched Banshees of Inisherin twice and didn't notice the lighting and the little slips with its continuity. As you said, it just worked! Awesome video! I'll be watching more of your videos. Ps I loved Banshees!

[@jonasboehringer]

So relaxing and insightful at the same time. Calms me down a lot haha 😇

[@АнтонСавичев-й3р]

It's amazing to watcj how the magic comes. Thank you guys, your work is perfect!

[@pansearedducklet9054]

You should do the Evil Dead Rising, that movie was so dark in the lighting department but they pulled it off so well!

[@TheSteveKinney]

American underdog was a great movie.

[@awolsniper]

i want have nice cinematic shots in my photography and this channel helps visualize concepts so so so much

[@evanjohnson.mp4]

Thanks Lewis!

[@railwaycompartment]

Yeah the lighting inconsistencies of Banshees really ticked me off during the theater viewing

[@angeloboltini]

So basically... Titan tubes everywhere?

[@flame.inside28]

Bro we need more content like this , thank you soooo much for doing it for us 😅

[@ampnova]

such a great breakdown, love your content

[@allwinantofranklin895]

To DP: Is this gonna match dude 🤣🤣🤣

[@pglazzari1]

Your awesome, showing us how the big boys do it with a crew

[@ishimweibsen330]

we missed u!

[@davrondaminov1]

Thank you bro,💪

[@sportshighlights030]

It would be so nice if your videos would have a subtitle

[@jordanbeckfilms]

These are awesome. Thanks for the breakdown! If you can find any for the movie “her” I’d love to see it!

[@epictips]

Yeah i also want to know about that movie pls make video on it's lighting

[@RichieRichProductionsLLC]

I really liked this video thank you so much 🙌🏽🔥keep doing these

[@movieboy1654]

Wake up babe lewis posted a new video

[@AfterLiveAnalysis]

Hello! Your channel is really awesome. I was curious if you could point me to one or some of your videos that talk about which settings to use inside of the camera to match the lighting you are doing on set - I seem to struggle dialing in my camera settings just right. or maybe there is a channel you know that focuses on lighting/settings for Sony cameras? I am using a Sony FX3. I am sure you are a busy guy and I don't want to bother you, thank you in advance. Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks on your channel for free. It is so helpful.

[@i.amreis]

your calling the light so accurately ! i kinda feel like a shit dp for not noticing this things while watching the film

[@moviesmadebymike]

You’re awesome man, I dig these little nuggets that are jam packed with a ton of info and allows me to just learn so much quicker. Question - when they bring that dolly arm in for the shot at 0:07, is someone operating the dolly, while someone else is remotely operating the ronin, while someone else is pulling focus? Just wanted to confirm how many people I would need to pull that move off with something more DIY 🤔

[@ElliotMillson]

That'd be my guess! Did a similar DIY setup recently with a small jib and an RS3 Pro head on it.

[@thelawofattractionfoundati8277]

Hi, I'm a writer/producer working on my own movie. I'm in the planning production stage and I'm thinking about how I want the film to look. I saw Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography on the film, The secret life of Walter Mitty, and I loved how the film looked. I know he used Hawk V-Lite anamorphic lens to shoot the movie but I wanted to know what else he did to get the look of the film. How did he get that texture to the scenes. The movie looks a little fuzzy and warmer than other films Thanks for your time

[@trippwilsonphoto]

love this

[@JC-tu6hc]

Thank you

[@CameronBrooks]

I wonder how many times they shot those binge eating scenes.. I wish I could’ve been behind video village for that.. giving them my sage advice

[@ferjonabay9577]

Please do one for Haunting of Hill House!

[@manucamarixta]

Awesome!❤

[@the_rt_visuals]

I have a question for you. To make it where you are at, did u go to film school, or not?

[@3trmedia]

The worst lighting continuity I've ever seen was in Hobbs and Shaw during the last fight. The sun goes down as the battle starts, so The Rock can do the haka with his *family* to have intense lighting with fire. Then 3 shots later, the sun literally comes up and is fully noon day again. After that movie, lighting continuity has bugged me ever since.

[@daviddenton4234]

@@3trmedia kinda looks like it was designed to be 'just before sunrise' --> 'sunrise' --> 'morning'. Although I haven't seen the full movie so I don't have context as to what happened just before this clip

[@florianropers]

Dude - I just watched it and it is absolutely horrendous :D All over the place - but the acting carries the scene … jk

"If it looks good that's all that matters." Taking a page out of Patrick O'Sullivan ❤

[@pillsangsung5090]

I don't know if you read all the comments. Of course, I like movies, but I study English on this channel. Thank you.(With korea translater.)

[@jmasked5082]

6:20 I get the point of 'how much you can get away with', but it still irks me seeing film lights and crinkly blackwrap in shot. This cinematography isn't getting any awards, you know. But I'd be fine with doing it in a TVC. I suppose they'd have had real practicals put in if they had the budget.

[@TraeBeneck]

It's pretty enough but yeah considering the title of the movie and the general vibes it's clear it's not gunning for any Oscars

[@charlymaldonado9811]

[@andrewckirsch]

Love it man! Where do you find these BTS videos and photos of movies? Is there a central location with all of them?

[@Lance-Sir]

Curious why they used that big crane? All they did is back away...

[@ronbackal]

Hi Lewis! Do you think KZbin's compression creates noise? It's very weird for me that using Venice 2 there is so much noise in the shots from the movie

[@DeletedComment]

Why is 180 shutter speed normal (6:45)? I would have expected less? Rookie here!

[@TraeBeneck]

That's shutter angle, not shutter speed. It's a subtle difference but there's plenty of videos on YT covering it

[@BlackPartyFilms]

unfortunately i did not work on these
