Officially flattered. Thank you

[@mearawithe]

Just stumbled across your channel - amazing tips and lighting techniques. I’m an aspiring filmmaker and I’m really trying to hone my lighting skills. I would definitely be interested in a video on how to make a diy scrim. Keep up the great videos.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! Sounds like a hot video to do! I’ve got one coming out Monday stay tuned!

[@BradyBessette]

extend the thank you from both of us!!

[@Phonothek]

looks nice! but depending on the projects, may I add to say that a negative fill would have helped out a little to get a less flat subject! but still nice tips! thank you!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you for the CC!

Thank you Brady and by the way you are getting popular in the lighting playlist.

I'm so grateful for this channel. You have a very calming vibe :) Thanks for such quality tutorial videos.

[@BradyBessette]

Never gotten that before!! Thank you

[@marydavis8012]

DIY scrim video would be great, but holy cow! I want a BTS on your light set up for this dialogue section. Gray curtains and ND film to cut the window light I assume? What did you use for the soft lighting across your face.

[@MrMiIton]

Thank you Brady!

[@BradyBessette]

You’re very welcome!! I’m glad you found it helpful

[@GeoElmoGeocaching]

Thanks for making this video. As someone just starting I don't have stands or scrims, I just have one of those 5 in 1 reflector/diffusor items. One of my biggest questions is how to film someone outdoors using shade to keep direct sun off without making the background look very bright and washed out. I've been waiting for cloudy days to do my outdoor filming to avoid this.

[@BradyBessette]

of course thank you so much!

[@thejocordero]

Sarah is the perfect subject for your videos!

[@BradyBessette]

she really is!! thank you!

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

This is so aesthetic ! Amazing tutorial mate

[@wildrosediy7058]

Great video man, super clear. Very helpful!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@nunofarizo]

These 5 in 1 reflectors tend to cut to much light, you should try something I've been using for some years now. I created a scrim with a fabric that has some translucency and the result is much more natural, it retains the hard lined shadows and at the same time cuts some of the intensity of the light. Works best for men but can be used as a reflector as well.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@jproog41]

Thanks for this video! I'd love to learn how to make my own scrim.

[@BradyBessette]

Any time! Video is out!

[@versatile1684]

Brady great video.. But can u pls explain how to light a subject in this harsh sunlight situation if she is moving or walking..

[@BradyBessette]

Yes! I’ll get working

[@versatile1684]

@@BradyBessette Thanks bro

[@BenEricson]

Early or later in the day for a lower sun. Backlight.

[@shesclueless]

The easiest way to pull this off is to just simply have a grip hold the bounce and walk with the talent keeping it in relatively the same place. Usually works well enough for something like the second setup with the sun at the rear.

[@ShotByJuma]

Wow great video love the content glad I subscribed to your channel

How do you only have 6k subs? Your content is amazing. Very helpful and educational! Thanks for sharing your knowledge friend

[@BradyBessette]

That’s so nice! Thank you!!

[@clynshotimages]

Your content is worth paying for Brady by the way. My question is if I wanted to soften the bounce light from the the sun even more in the second setup. How would you I attack that?

[@BradyBessette]

you could get a wider source and/or pull it away from your subject if it's too harsh. thank you so much!

[@clynshotimages]

[@bishwashbhatta8709]

Loved you class teacher 😅

[@NathanKatash]

have to say that color and contrast in this video is much better the the new ones (when you shoot yourself) maybe grading? or the gen 5?

[@BradyBessette]

it could be slowly changing and I never noticed

[@jarnsnagendran3214]

Superb 😘😘

[@BradyBessette]

thank you!!

[@TemoMorales-o5k]

I ended up buying a 4'x6' scrim and frame so I can always have something for outdoor shooting. DIY was my first approach but need something more reliable.

[@theseventh2609]

Thank you

[@holdmedear]

Amazing Channel Mate! would love to see a grading tutorial! loving the colors you are getting out of the BMP. Do you shoot with the new color science Gen5?

[@BradyBessette]

Still the gen4 science but I’d like to try and do a grading tutorial, but my computer is so slow!!

[@metamuhamudnoah2856]

Awesome I love your model how are we gonna fix this in post?

great man.. but is there any video for wide shots??

To come!!

what should be camera temperature for outdoor lighting? can you please make a video on it

[@BradyBessette]

I try for around 5600!

[@mazharsangiofficial]

very nice dear

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tadbubs]

Whoa! Brady, this was badass! I am getting ready to shoot a series of outdoor elderly exercise videos (at the jungle gym playground). As a beginner, your tips on using the reflector has literally saved me a gazillion of research hours. Hey, one question, as I will also shoot talking head videos indoors, in a small space, with back window, please throw me tips on how you lit this particular video? You nailed the perfect balance. Thanks

[@Zo-Brand]

What camera are you using because even the before shots look great.

[@BradyBessette]

Blackmagic 4k!

[@deanrebuyon3046]

1000th Like! :)

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much!!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Great Video! This setup would work great for commercial or interviews, but what about narrative? To me it doesn't feel as natural with just the sun. Do you have any tips on creating an outdoor setup that would feel just a bit more naturalistic? Thanks!

[@albinpepe9057]

The way he placed the talent between the sun and camera (so the sun becomes an edgelight, timecode 5:15 ) looks great and more of a narrative film vibe. Once he started bouncing light back in, it lost me. I think the answer is somewhere in there.

[@alessio55555]

great video, but if the subject move how light the scene? Do you need to additional operator?

[@JOMprodBeta]

first time coming across your videos.....def subscribing! well spoken, full of information, not boring....let me check out some other vids while i'm here

Welcome!! Thank you! Stick around stay a while

guess i will have to start buying rocks lol. fr tho, great vid bruv

Hahahah they cost a lot of pounds 😅🤣thank you

You are cool braddy, how many person you working to make the video?

[@BradyBessette]

Sara and I are the only ones doing these! thank you!

[@sohonghosh987]

When I'm taking a close shot or a mid shot, I can easily use the reflector and the diffuser. If I go to the long shot, how will it be used?

is a very hhelp to much, continue with this videos

brother ur doing a great job .. im really looking for some video like this. will you pls make a video for if we wanna use extra light for day shoot how to use the light or Some kind of DIy Light pls.

Thanks a lot! Sure thing

[@Backtrack3332]

Honestly nearly every time I see these types of videos, the before looks better

[@lime61]

Sun sandwich....instead I'd bounce from the same side of the sun to wrap it round. Nice video though 🙌🏻

[@Hector_FilmSchool]

Can you do a video on your camera rig? I saw the Blackmagic with a V-Mount battery.

Awesome video! can you recoomend ways to clamp the diffusors and refletors to a stand ? I bought a clamp and it broke immediatly at the first job i did with it

[@BradyBessette]

Try the ones I said from Lowe’s Home Depot. Mentioned them I think in the night scene video or sunset

@@BradyBessette thanks for the answer :) i really appreciate that. But is there a brand or something you can recommend ? I live in germany and we don't have Lowes Home Depot here. or are basically all similar clamps good? (i simply dont want to waste money again)

[@rogue0192]

then just angle the bounce or model to be more side-lit, that's just personal preference for the type of scene

hey what if the subject is moving, how are you supposed to keep the lighting on them perfectly?

This is more for talking head style shots. It could help having an assistant holding diffusion above head as moving
