The Best All-round Lighting Set Up

[@EpicLightMedia]

The pacing of this video... the music... the subtle humor. It's perfect. This video is a diamond... a gem. I keep watching it.

[@Lance-Sir]

Second this, such a great video. The lighting method is simple and effective.

[@j.oakley9588]

No preamble. No hype. No begging for subs. And no wordy outro. Just useful information-right to the point. I love this.

[@logan.bonjean]

I come back to this video probably at least once a week - Lewis you're an absolute goldmine for aspiring filmmakers like myself.

[@TheV1CThor]

Just when you finally find a good channel, you realize it's new and only has five videos...

[@EpicLightMedia]

Ok so I’m watching your videos and they are amazing and you need to keep making stuff just like this! Your channel with get huge!! Unfortunately.. with content like this, KZbin won’t push your content if the video isn’t like 10 minutes long. Your videos just need to be longer and you’ll get 100,000+ on each video cause this is gold. Trust me… make longer videos and the KZbin algorithm will like you.

[@lewispotts]

Legened! Thanks so much for the tip! Will do. Such a great community on youtube

[@MediaWebservice]

@@lewispotts KZbin also has shorts these days. Very modern.🤣 I also wrote this comment to influence the algorithm because KZbin loves to connect with your audience 😉

[@travisminneapolis]

Epic Light Media is a horrible channel you should never subscribe to.

[@diepyman]

BUT, this is a secret club... lol

[@CreateGreg]

Some good wisdom here and thanks for EPIC sharing all your enLIGHTING knowledge about MEDIA 🙌

[@brandonhighwood9631]

I strongly believe that this is one of the greatest channels out there for filmmakers who work solo or have a mega limited crew. So absurdly well done.

[@nathan.dunahoo]

In response to the 10 min comment, I get it, but I much prefer a shorter video as I can use it as a quick refresher when working on a project. It's the perfect length for what your creative vision for the topic was, not dragged on so more people can see it. imo

[@chleepy]

i wouldnt have clicked on this video if it was more than 3 mins

[@petepete8556]

Agree--90% of the time a 10 minute video is just a 2 minute video with 8 minutes of fluff.

[@Xavier_Sc]

First time I learn something new and interesting watching a youtube lighting video.

[@patrickkaplin2183]

This is a great tip. David Mullen ASC used to write about using this trick a lot. Much faster and easier to rig a piece of poly or muslin into the ceiling than a light.

[@sonny3384]

Building on this same idea, on set i like to use a classic tungsten 750w Leko, with a dimmer on it, the same way you used here. For interiors, you can dim it down almost all the way and get a really nice warm quality of light

[@dev9184]

this might be pound for pound the most helpful video ever

[@carmanterblanche]

Best tip ever if you have such a powerful light.

[@Blackmiel]

i think godox sl200 can get the work done and its cheap

[@florianmoritz2993]

Also if you are DPing on jobs like these, a 120d or a 300d is far from a powerful light.

[@daniel.h2488]

pure gold video about lighting. this is prolly more helpful in 2 minutes than other vids i've watched on yt about lighting in like tens of hours.

[@victoryzy]

YOU SHOT WITH TAME IMPALAAAA!! Man.

[@hannes4971]

Your channel is exactly why I love KZbin. Really awesome work and insights and presented so simply and to the point. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@tilleyyellit]

Best to the point video I’ve seen on KZbin

[@roei534]

Best filmmaking channel on youtube.

[@MainPointPictures]

So informative. Subtle humor. Just two minutes!

[@narly138]

been a filmmaker for 14 years and i just learned a shitload in 2 mins

[@rayt_visual]

I love this ... I actually do this all the time. :) I bought my Spotlight to strictly do this when they first came out for the 300Dii. :) I still surprised young lighting techs with this technique. Bravo for you taking the time to share it with more people. :)

[@jean-pierrecantin3546]

The cat sound with the 120D case just made my day. Epic Light Media sent me here.

[@timothyclark5900]

This is exactly what I love about Source Fours. Have yet to use LED lekos, but have been very happy using this technique with the tungsten equivalent.

[@blurr.videos]

I can't believe how your shots looks in real life vs in camera. With one light. Dope.

[@isaiahprovidence7608]

wow. The simplicity. This was so helpful. Now I feel like I don't need to rent a bunch of lights if I really don't need to! Thank you!

[@Fracrox]

Man, wow what a channel dude, we needed someone like you for a long time, actual pro information, straight to the point, and practical showcase, you got yourself a fan brother, keep kicking ass!

[@scottwilson2272]

Short. Sweet. Thank you - MUCH appreciated.

[@panasonicism]

Came here because Epic Light Media made the suggestion. Thanks ELM.

[@FKfilmphotography]

Probably the best tip on lighting I've ever seen. I mean this just allows you to do so much and create both a hard or soft depending on the size of the spot.

[@ZachRamelan]

This video was amazing! Thank you so much for making a movie that's fast, educational, and cuts to the chase!

[@DanielAdomian]

Thanks for the quick to the point no bs lighting tip that you actually used

[@ColGAFilms]

These vids are great, short, simple, and very helpful. Make more! I love the “one light” videos and the what makes a “ cinematic” image. Maybe make a video about “cheap” gear or maybe a DIY light video if you use that kind of gear, or maybe a “lighting for zero-low budget”

[@hello-lb3vf]

Epic video. I cannot believe this channel exists.

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

The only time I'm thankful there's a white popcorn ceiling is when I have to shoot in a tight space. It makes a great lazy diffused ceiling bounce surface.

[@brewswithdrew]

most underrated channel ever. on a binge right now and it was an instant subscribe

[@slickstuartdjroja703]

amazing thank you so much for sharing ...

[@SHDEdits]

Wow this is actually a very creatively efficient practice

[@nauticfilms]

this works best in the most dreaded, most common location we get thrown into all the time: the not-so-huge, white-walled room. your setup is great for that, first: you automatically dim the walls that are in the shot down, second: you get out of that boring place quicker. nice one.

[@chok1169]

Your videos are a hiden gem. From Perú, pls keep making more videos!!!

[@jopeteporlante6113]

Hate u epic light media for bring me here.. why its so late to find out this channel.. this channel is amazing

[@robinert8858]

I've watch this video every time it pops up. great stuff as always!

[@HugoWill]

I use the technique all the time too! Love seeing someone doing that too. Great content!

[@Sweentown]

I do this allll the time! Bouncing is the best.

[@DaleRoossien]

Really unique approach with shaping the spot, most excellent

[@LouisMellini]

I'm late, but I'm here to say that I am also a part of the Mark Maggiori fan club

[@roomforcreamfilms]

The spot light is a versatile tool!

[@MAD42]

thank you.

[@LarsonFX]

Beautiful tip! Short sweet and something new

[@b.emmitjones6161]

More please. Loving your brevity.

[@jackbynum]

Keep it up! I love how practical your channel is. no frills, just straight ahead knowledge. And based on the footage you're showing, I know you know what you're talking about haha!

[@DRAMAFLS_official]

Genius

[@stinkystealthysloth]

I do this with my photography, bouncing a small flash off a wall for bounce.

[@twincityproductions2369]

I see a thumbnail with the maestro, Deakins...I click.

[@samuelock]

This just sold me on the 600d

[@thisispav]

had to come back to make sure I liked the video, this is amazing insight. Using tools I allready have.. mind blown.

[@viniciusszabo]

Amazing stuff, I love bouncing light on walls!

[@darrenchoy]

no frills, i LOVE THIS.

[@mikewileczek5143]

Epic light media sent us and I'm definitely not disappointed with the quality of information

[@ihsanrazali]

Thank for sharing simple but very effective way crafting the light, really appreciate it

[@Bo_Hazem]

Well, now I know what light I should buy next.

[@JerzyCarranza]

this was absolutely F-ing amazing

[@jasonl3445]

[@chrisfitch972]

The epic burger b-roll earned a sub

[@gingrsnap1951]

Would love to see more behind the scenes set ups of this

[@MattSomerstein]

this is rad, thanks for this. "even your boy deakins" is such a nice touch

[@shellysharma6191]

Oh my you make so much sense Lewis, I hope you continue sharing this stuff.

[@Sticks]

Such a good tip! And I was gonna compliment you on how short the video was as well but I saw someone smarter than me gave you advice to go longer haha keep smashing it! Where abouts in Aus are you?

[@FabianRoeglin]

oh my god, i literally was searching for this particular video for months. Do you know how difficult it was to find your channel again? :D thank god im back on track now lol

[@AronBagel]

Whoa, it's wild how beautifully natural that looks. Thanks for the tip man! Glad KZbin somehow recommended this!

[@HiddenOaksMedia]

You’re the man. What a great clip

[@animusvisual]

what a great tip man. i own one but havent figured to use it in this fashion on every shoot. im gonna have to start packing it

[@ngonzale3]

God bless the lessons learned with B-roll and practice! And from people like you! Thank you for your wonderfully done video!

[@TheTy]

Thanks for making this vid LP

[@alphafilms_at]

[@stephencolor2010]

I know longer videos will do better... but I freaking loved this. Great info and great vibe.

[@artofduke]

Good job, Lewis... you give me so many ideas for my next shoot.

[@amw1155]

I love this. I love your videos on lighting setups. I love your vibe (for lack of a better word). Keep it up. Also you got a new subscriber.

[@AndrewPRoberts]

Always been a fan of a bounce

[@lsh122]

THIS IS GOD DAMN GREAT, EASY AND PRACTICAL!!!

[@ianblackburn2645]

As a source 4 fan the spot light adapter is super underated

[@tobybajrovic]

[@lewispotts]

Thanks Legend! yeah pretty fresh channel

[@muriloyamanaka]

[@sohagnakib8902]

Epic Light Media recommended your channel.Great stuffs

[@sryan8971]

short and sweet

[@norgaardcarlos]

Epic Light Media sent me and god damn that's a great tip! when I've done it, it never looks this good tho hahah

[@sam.oates_]

I love this! Sooo good, I was never really sold on spots etc, always opted for led mats etc but I think you might have got me here! Such a great concept especially for small spaces with tepid turn around.

[@patrickouziel]

Great vid and channel in general. I used to do way more of this technique right after I watched David Mullen's AbelCine workshop years ago. Time to bring it back in my own work! I've been stuck in Titan tube and Litemat land for a bit too long :)

[@luqmxxxn]

This is top notch bro. Thankas for sharing this 🔥

[@JonathanEBoyd]

Really Great video Very interesting and concise thanks for sharing i'll have to try this out

[@jacobalvaradoDP]

Awesome video!

Epic Light sent me!! I subb’d! Look forward to watching you grow!!

[@PAJACEK]

I watched this video without looking at the view count and was soooo surprised to see 13 views. I hope this comment ages like milk. Great videos, keep em comming. I know i'll keep on watching.

[@lewispotts]

Haha thanks Legend. Longtime filmmaker but new to the tube!
