@@BradyBessette I loved this tutorial man. Now if the sun could just stay where it is a bit longer, we could shoot for hours! But since it's not, I'm guessing this setup might last for an hour or so

[@SaraAnn]

I love that you do this for those who don’t have the gear. It’s so kind of you to create tutorials for all levels of creatives. Love your heart for others and creative mind! 🥰

[@BradyBessette]

I'm so happy people find value in ti!!

[@smepable]

This looks like a blockbuster done with no actual active lights... amazing how you show the differences with lights added or taken away, makes it really easier to grasp what you do and why! Love it!

[@BradyBessette]

thank you so so much!

If it wasn’t for her modelesque glow, there would be no lighting to work with

Love the way you talk about light. Light is everything. There is a reason why your growth on KZbin has been exponential.

Less is more. Such great advice. When I was starting out I wanted lights every where in my scene, but looking back my videos look really sourcy. Thank you si much man

Dude you have a serious gift for lighting. It’s certainly a weak point in my filmmaking skill set & ive learned a ton just from watching 3 of your videos. You’ve earned a new subscriber!

Shots look great man. When the project calls for it, I love shooting without lights and working with what's available. It adds authenticity.

[@BradyBessette]

It really does. I’m super excited with how this came out

[@ovidiu88]

I just found out your channle today. Going through so much detail and taking the time to explain is much appreciated. It's like taking some fresh air between all those video experts/rockstars who focus on shiny transitions and loud music than the actual information. Keep up the good work! I can't stop watching your vids😂

That bounce card wrap light is the special sauce! Sadly, I couldn’t really get into the scene because I only watch videos with REAL coffee drinking going on.

Hahahahahah we will change this in the future. SORRY

[@SaraAnn]

New Layer HAHAHA STOP

[@NewLayer]

@@SaraAnn Oh now you're trying to tell me what to do?! I feel attacked... But to be 100% honest, your fake coffee drinking skills are really good, haha. I hate watching TV shows where they fling an obviously empty mug around.

[@SaraAnn]

@@NewLayer ahahaha you're funny, but thank you! Ohhhh I agree, so irritating when there is no realistic consistency.

Could you make a video about haze/fog? What kind of fog machine are you using? Is there really a big difference between haze and fog? Thank you!

[@BradyBessette]

I can yeah!!

[@WhySteve]

I did a music video the other day and I initially wanted a low key with widow light and haze but the client ended up loving the smoke and we ended up with a high key, smokey "dream effect". All because I pumped a little bit too much smoke at the beginning of the shoot.

[@shihtzu619]

I love you brady❤❤

[@flipfilms1759]

I struggle the most with controlling the light bouncing around the walls and making the room much brighter than I want it in comparison to the face

[@BradyBessette]

using flags and grids can help to control WHERE your light its spilling

[@RavikantRai21490]

One of the effects of haze on the face specifically is that it seems to diffuse things. I was wondering what if we used a ProMist and no haze and then compared? I know that the rest of the room apart from the face will still lack that light spread that the diffusion causes in the background.

[@BradyBessette]

Promist will only effect highlights really whereas the haze will effect everything more evenly I guess

[@RavikantRai21490]

Makes sense, Brady, thank you! Great content.

[@ahtideeyah]

I hope this doesn't sound amateur, but how are you getting that moody look? Is that your edit after post? Even with the lights form the window will result in a bright look, but how do you get the dark/moody feel? I just love it so much:)

[@BradyBessette]

No question is a bad question! Don’t downplay yourself! But I do get the look afterward, I am creating a lut pack with that included :)

[@ahtideeyah]

[@zhenyucai]

Just wondering if the test shots have been color graded or directly from the camera. At 5:28 the color showed in the monitor is very different. I like the low key look, so like to know if there are extra steps other than lighting. Thanks!

[@MrSilasng2000]

Thanks a lot!!! May i ask what if in the room where I need to shoot, the actor would sit behind the desk and face the windows directly....then the light will face directly the actor's face... do you have any suggestions on how to create the kind of cinematic look you show here?

[@BradyBessette]

if that is the only option, try to use negative fill on one side to increase the contrast on the face, or flag off part of the window so it isn't as washed out! Hope this helps!!

[@MrSilasng2000]

@@BradyBessette thanks a lot! by the way this is for a scene where the actor will write on a calendar. The cinematography of your "The Letter" is a great reference material :)
