What a nice way to work around the environment! The first sequence came out so fn good❤‍🔥

[@MattAitia]

Thank you!

[@Ddubmedia.content]

This is outstanding. I’m a noob to lighting. If I’m honest I really struggle to understand it and have trouble achieving some of the shots I’d like. This really felt like I l could follow the thought process around building the shot and how the lighting is motivated. I’ll be going right through your library now. Haha. This is 🔥 thank you for sharing. 😊

[@MattAitia]

Thanks Dane! Glad this more observational explanation worked for you!

Well done. When the short film is coming out?

[@halfpastv6971]

So beautiful! How do you set the pavoslim to emulate that color of moonlight ambience?

[@MattAitia]

Using gel mode - we used some sort of cyan

[@Descabelar2013]

amazing

[@MattAitia]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@amberanayat]

This is so helpful thank you!

[@MattAitia]

Thanks for watching :)

[@JohnHarrisonForever]

Sorry for the nerdy request, but when you show the frames, could you mention what focal length you're at? Specifically I want to know the shot at 3:13... is that a 35mm or a 50mm?

[@joenicklo]

Great vid. Subbed.

[@eliaslimapro]

COULD YOU TALK ABOUT HOW YOU DO THIS DISPLAY AND THE COLOR GRADING?

[@_nachiketa]

@MattAitia love this. Who is the talent?

[@MattAitia]

My friend Simon!

[@scon1425]

good vid. some nice lighting. one thing you could consider more is your eyelines, screen direction, and camera blocking to create more cohesive coverage. some of the shots feel a little disconnected or jarring because of those nuances.

[@MattAitia]

Yes definitely! Glad someone noticed because it was something that was bugging me while editing. It was partially due to filming the BTS and security around us. Good thing is, these are exercises where I also learn a bunch of stuff as well

[@scon1425]

That’s awesome brother! The images turned out great. U have a great eye and great taste. The diff between something beautiful and something overlit or sourcey in these situations is usually a foot either direction or a couple percent on the dials. Really nice final products. And the only way to learn is to shoot 👍

[@padrinoli_MOV]

0:49 whats is the app?

[@MattAitia]

Cadrage

[@KROMAprd]

Love these processes you show Matt, some beautiful frames! Quick question: i get so much anxiety shooting out in the rain/snow - how do you figure out the "right amount of weather" that a camera/light/etc. can withstand?

[@MattAitia]

Thank you! Most lights have an IP waterproof rating that you can check. This was a light snowfall so I wasn’t too concerned with camera or lighting, if it were coming down any harder we would have bagged the equipment with cheap clear garbage bags. Just make sure to leave some sort of ventilation so things don’t overheat

[@KROMAprd]

@@MattAitia thanks so much for replying 🙏🏻 that's super helpful to know 😊

[@danialsharghi249]

I’ve been looking for a video about night exterior lighting for months but all I found was some KZbinrs using Amaran lights for “Cinematic” lighting, please make more video about lighting specially at night

[@MattAitia]

Good thing I love lighting for night haha, I gotchu!

[@Paradoxgt]

Did you work with any luts on camera? The color correction is great.

[@MattAitia]

r709, slight grade, film grain

[@nuzusecam]

sick video 👏. is augmented = motivated lighting?

[@MattAitia]

Exactly

[@philowww]

Supercool! Your tripod itself like my annual salary😢

[@prasannp7]

no shitty rigs over here. just solid lighting guides 💪

[@MattAitia]

Thank you!

[@NightWLKR1]

How do you have time to set up all these shots, I find it so exhausting to do this all by myself.

[@MattAitia]

Just get er done 🤷

[@directorparisholmes2024]

I bet you he enjoyed the donut scene lol.

[@MattAitia]

You betcha

[@envisagefilmshouston]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@theratingguy5659]

beginner filmaker here, could I ask what you guys mean by "the lighting is more motivated?" Thanks in advance otherwise great video, learned quite a lot.

[@MattAitia]

Motivated lighting is when you imitate or extenuate an existing light source. So in the video our lighting was motivated by the street light and "the moon". In the other scene our lighting was motivated by the yellow bagel sign and the pink donut sign. Does that make sense?

[@theratingguy5659]

@@MattAitia I see now thanks a ton! I loved the music video so much as well, keep up the great work.

[@_pelu2519]

hi! can u share your camera settings? how do you avoid noise and get that clean image??

[@MattAitia]

I plan on making a full video about this - but always for night scenes I lower my ISO as much as possible.
