this looks excellent! I especially loved how the establishing shot showed the split, the book shot showcased the amber hue, and the last shot cut to mostly blue. Made the whole scene feel really crafted and story driven, just by the lighting cues and how our brains are wired from left to right. Just excellent!

[@seaman_adah8524]

Wow.. this is so insightful! Just what i needed for my DIY music videos 😃.. Tnx from 🇳🇬

[@N.E.U.R.O]

Dude what the hell this is so good! Expected this to have more views

[@tuckerkanderson]

Thanks! I wish it did haha!

[@N.E.U.R.O]

@@tuckerkanderson I feel that, I put a "shot on iphone" tag on some of my videos and that really helps, I started a business in my area where I basically get paid to make music videos on a budget and these videos really help because the camera is only one tiny aspect of a great shot, so thank you!

[@FilmStory]

This is great! Thanks for the tip! Should try it for myself :)

[@tuckerkanderson]

Thanks! Yeah give it a go!

[@vladimirvelazquez5219]

Great job

[@mrdfwproductions]

Great video! Can we get camera settings such as white balance?

[@jayroxx_]

Awesome tips

[@emmanuelnkwocha1275]

This is a dope video, but just a couple advices, idk if its just my phone but on the first shot the moon light looks too source'y! I'd recommend maybe not use the fresnel or maybe adding a 1/4 diffusion to make it feel more natural! Also in the close up shot id recommended adding some room tone especially to the background to help separate you from the background and to add a different area of interest amd separation. Either way this is a dope video 🙏🙏

[@guillermomultimedia3507]

Thanks!!!

[@FERNANDOpasamonte]

thanks a lot!!

[@BrendanLawler]

Fantastic video! Would it be possible to get an update with details about the lights (brand, model) to learn more about the lux, etc.? Thanks so much! EDIT: Just read the comments and realized that you've already answered this, so came back to say thanks again and repost for anyone who has the same question and wants the lights details in one place (please correct me if I got any of this wrong!): 1. Key through screen right window: Amaran 100 with fresnel and blue gel. 2. Background light on rocks seen through back window: Sokani X60 with fresnel and blue gel. 3. Practical desk lamp fill: bluetooth bulb with adjusted color and brightness. 4. LED light bounced off of 5-in-1 reflector to supplement practical desk lamp: Boling P1. Shot with a 5600K white balance and cooled in post.

[@tuckerkanderson]

That is all correct! Thanks for the appreciation and for helping others out!

[@nyounus]

Thanks bro! What were your camera settings?

[@intrinsiccinema7374]

great content would you happen to have the link for the RBG light

[@tuckerkanderson]

If you google Boling P1 it should come up!

[@elieh.studio]

Great job ! What were the LED lights outside?

[@tuckerkanderson]

Thanks! I used an amaran 100D and a sokani X60.

[@elieh.studio]

@@tuckerkanderson That makes it even more awesome !!

[@ryancrean.]

what camera did you use for this shoot?

[@Saldakompany]

Bro which shot is the one you sits

[@westleyamicaiii805]

what did you set your white balance to?

[@tuckerkanderson]

I believe it was set to 5600K, but then I cooled it down in post a bit as the shots were looking a bit too warm.

[@luisdelrosariojr.7772]

@@tuckerkanderson Is that pretty much the standard white balance setting for any situation?

[@tuckerkanderson]

@@luisdelrosariojr.7772 if you’re shooting in direct sunlight, yes. If you’re shooting at sunrise/sunset, or in a cloudy situation you’d change it generally

[@Nicdehouwer]

Hey duderino, small question. When using two-tone lighting like this, how do you define a good white balance? What would happen if you hold a color chart or a white card and balance automatically?

[@tuckerkanderson]

Hey! It depends on how you want the image to look! That’s more of a creative decision on if you want it to look warm/cool. As for automatic balance, it depends on the strength of each light, if your tungsten light was stronger, the camera would balance one way, if your cool light was stronger, it would balance the other way.

[@Nicdehouwer]

@@tuckerkanderson clear answer, thanks! In other words: my color chart thingy becomes useless once I add too much color into my lighting

[@tuckerkanderson]

@@Nicdehouwer haha, not useless, you just have to use it differently!
