@@codylarosa all the shots look amazing, but that first one really caught my eyes, really appreciate your time and effort

[@pauly3220]

More of this please. Gorgeous shots and lighting (and grade). Would actually love to see a grading breakdown too.

[@codylarosa]

Thanks so much! Getting a good amount of requests for the grade may have to do a video on my process even tho it’s quite simple

[@chrisajtony]

Great lighting and breakdown!

A breakdown about the color grading of this project would be very interesting

[@codylarosa]

Thanks so much! I don’t consider myself much of a colorist maybe I’ll make a video about my simple approach

[@VanguardArmament]

Excellent cinematography! And thank you for the breakdown

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

1:12 Stunning work mate. Was this the fx3 and 50mm?

[@codylarosa]

Yes exactly! That’s where we used the LiDAR setup and thank you btw

[@dipsmedia4986]

Hello Cody! Thank you so much for this breakdown. I have a question; What is the name of that app you used for the 3d visualization of the lighting towards the end of the video? Thank you!

[@codylarosa]

Hey thanks for watching! I learned about “set a light 3D” from Blaine Westropp’s channel. He has a full breakdown of how to use it. It was a game changer for me, little learning curve in the beginning but then it feels like a video game. www.elixxier.com/en/set-a-light-3d/#v2=63cff39376ec3

[@OliverCodd]

Looks amazing! Did you grade this as well? Really love the colors.

[@codylarosa]

Hey thanks! I did grade this it’s mainly filmbox with a few WB and exposure tweaks but very minimal work done. I actually brought the highlights down on her face in davinci but after export they went back to being hot and I was too lazy to go fix it 😂

[@OliverCodd]

@@codylarosa Awesome! I've had my eye on film box for while but most examples I've seen have had too strong of a film look for my taste. This feels more subtle and the colors are perfect. I would love to see a color grading tutorial from you at some point in the future. Thanks for the detailed response, new sub here :)

[@codylarosa]

@@OliverCodd Thanks for the kind words! I usually use either phantom luts or filmbox depending on the context of the shoot. With filmbox I turn down the halation and turn off the grain. I like both of those things but when uploading to KZbin it usually destroys the image with grain in it. Also comparing filmbox to dehancer IMO you can get more looks with dehancer, BUT the image straight out of film box with minimal work is better. And I’m more interested in that.

[@OliverCodd]

@@codylarosa Yeah I've never been a massive fan of dehancer. I'm currently using Film Unlimited which is great but I think filmbox still has the edge. Thanks again for the detailed reply!

[@jondoeslifestuff]

Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@codylarosa]

Hey Jon :)

[@eriaklifts6797]

name of the software for lighting?

[@codylarosa]

Set a Light 3D by elixxer

[@HOWE23]

what was the lighting pre vis software you are using to preview the booklight scene?

[@codylarosa]

Called “set a light 3D” use code WSTRPP www.elixxier.com/en/set-a-light-3d/#v2=63cff39376ec3

[@rodrigolev1]

great content, what was the 3d program that u use in prep ??

[@codylarosa]

Set a light 3D. Learned it from the best @blainewestropp

[@Monosifon]

Sick breakdown. What mic + audio setup did you use for the dialogue scenes?

[@codylarosa]

Do you mean my talking head or what the audio engineer was using?

[@Monosifon]

@@codylarosa the studio engineer

[@codylarosa]

@@Monosifon I think he was using the MKH50

[@codylarosa]

@@Monosifon I have a pic of his setup I can DM you

[@Moore-Ent]

Are you in Cleveland?

[@codylarosa]

Yes sir!

[@gettriggered8404]

any colorgrading videos how to ?

[@codylarosa]

Maybe in the future I’m not much of a colorist. I have a very simple approach using either phantom luts or filmbox

[@TheOrisya]

4:15 this kitchen kinda look like the one on marriage story

[@codylarosa]

I need to check this out, is this a movie?

[@stevensonrf]

It’s perhaps a little detail, but some people will notice it. The scene with the Muslim woman speaking, there is a Christian cross right behind her in the kitchen?

[@codylarosa]

Good eye! We removed that so it’s not present during the actual shots :)
