Lighting for different times of day is essential. In this video we're lighting the same scene for daylight and for night, to see what changes.

You've managed to teach core concepts (spaces not faces), workflow (expose for practical light, then environment, then talent), technique (diffuse and flag off), and efficiency (cove light for daylight bounce and also for evening lighting). In 16 minutes I feel like I should be bringing a notebook. Well done, Brady!

[@BradyBessette]

This means the world! Thank you so much

[@reyonb2338]

Insane that we get this content for free. Super informative. Thanks Brady for teaching us. 🙏🏼

That’s amazing thank you Thomas!

[@reversekeypro]

Wow really informative. The bts Charles got of your guys’ setup was really cool. I agree about the use of shadows and being more comfortable with not having everything lit, I’ve been drawn to as well. This was a super helpful video showing movement too! Thx Brady for another great video:)

Great stuff as always! Sending a little extra love your way for Kevin Reyes!

[@BradyBessette]

Send it all to Kevin! He’s awesome

[@austenh7]

You have really helped me up my lighting game, so thank you! I have 3 questions: 1) have you found a good case or system to travel with all that gear? 2) I film weddings and would like to light the bridal suite a little better. What do you feel like would be a simple and consistent solution to lighting a variety of spaces like that? 3) Do you have any tips for lighting placement when there are mirrors involved? When I try to do a far side key, you see the light in the shot.

[@streettooberarjun8027]

Once I have started watching your videos ( a couple of weeks ago) I have learnt more than I did in the past couple of years 😂

[@sf-mediafilm1784]

Another helpful video. You are the king of light

[@BradyBessette]

That warms my heart thank you!!

[@myvideoguy]

[@WhySteve]

Hey! I've seen Kevin on Aputures channel. I loved the way he used his lights to simulate a meteor crash in that one video! Also, I love how sublty you used these lights in the night scene to feel real and comfortable but still cinematic and magical!

[@BradyBessette]

Isn’t kevin awesome!! And I appreciate all of this Steve!

[@TylerEdwards]

Kev is a legend! He's such a genuine dude!

[@BradyBessette]

I’d say! Gotta love him

102K subs!!! Congrats Brady, that was a quick jump from 86K!! :D

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! And I know right?? It’s crazy

[@_jonkent]

Great video as always! One thing I notice though, is that a lot of cinematographers on KZbin seem to really speak about how hard light is ugly or we should avoid using it to light the subject. I really think this is all down to the look you want to achieve and actually hard light can look phenomenal- if you haven’t seen The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) this is a masterclass in hard light by Bruno Delbonnel

[@BradyBessette]

Yeah I really do love the hardness of light!

[@Niklondon]

Great vid bud very informative , could I ask what camera WB kelvin you used for the night interior shoot?

[@nmv_dp]

I think that little flag you had once you sat down was a magic cloth fabric! Great video and education as always, looks like y’all had a ton a fun together

[@BradyBessette]

It might’ve been a bit thick, not sure, nonetheless. Thank you so much

Now, this but with one light 😂 Thanks guys, it was awesome!

[@BradyBessette]

Hahaha challenge accepted

[@CameraStudio]

Great video. I think it would be great (and help) if you could make a video about shooting a night scene during the day. I mean you kinda got into it with the Color Temperature video, but I think you have more tricks for that scenario.

[@BradyBessette]

Yeah I agree with you, thank you!

[@pizzomedia7261]

Great videos. I see you putting A 600d with a spotlight mount on a c-stand a lot. Have you ever had issues with this? Seems a little sketchy to me. Seems like a combo stand is more appropriate Just curious. Thanks

[@RichardNoyes]

Hey Brady- what would be the (2) Aperture lights you would recommend? (1k budget) I’m just starting my to build my light gear. Also, what are the essential add on’s you’d recommend?

[@ross1ful]

😎👍🏼 Hey Brady awesome tutorial!! Quick question, do you meter any of your light set ups? 😎👍🏼

[@BradyBessette]

Typically I do not meter! And thank you so much

[@smackdaddy9802]

Amazing! What did you set your aperture to in the first example when exposing for the outdoor light? Did you set your Aputure lights to this aperture or only your key? Cheers!

[@BradyBessette]

I actually do not remember, I believe it was 2.8 since we wanted the shallow DOF

[@RayneWeddingFilms]

Love me some Kevin!!!

[@BradyBessette]

We allll do

[@LorenzoCarone95]

Insane Vid Brady, thanks! Just two questions: - the lens used was an Helios 58? - what about the camera wb for both daylight and night scene? Thank you!

[@BradyBessette]

It was a Leica R 50, And WB was 6000 for day and 4500 for night. Thank you so much!!

[@mr.danielfoster]

It sounds like the audience for this type of video leans more towards the wealthy amateur or the professional with all the lights at their disposal. This comparison format is great. While I understand advertising is kind of built into the videos you make, is there room to provide a comparison of budget/work-with-what-you-got equipment vs pro-grade equipment?

[@BradyBessette]

I do try to vary my videos for more beginner but also professionals as well

[@mr.danielfoster]

@@BradyBessette Sounds great! I hope that didn't come across criticizing this video, it is very well put together and does the job. Rather, encouraging the comparison format of your videos, as it does a great job of exposing some good concepts.

[@BradyBessette]

@@mr.danielfoster not at all! Todays video is geared a bit more toward budget gear as well

[@PeaLoop]

Quality content.

[@BradyBessette]

Thanks!!:)

[@qiyuantan]

andre sofhob would be proud of you sir!

[@BradyBessette]

Chills!! Thank you!

[@KHudso]

This is something I noticed they messed up on in Mad Max fury road. The night shots have reflections that are way too bright on the actors faces way more than the moon would ever produce. It makes it very obvious that it was a bright day shot that was just color corrected

[@BradyBessette]

Yeah you do see at times just a day shot graded

[@hauntedwonderlandproductio1013]

@Brady Bessette Thank you as always for so much great info for free, if there is an award you can get for doing this I wish it for you my friend!!! * side note I know you have a list of the equipment used for this video listed in the description, but what are some of your go to must have lighting solutions. I have a pretty decent budget for some nicer ones, but I can’t decide. Don’t worry, if you have an affiliate link I can use I will use them, to help and support you.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much honestly! And that list there is pretty much my regular go to kit!

@@BradyBessette your the man! I am really digging these Aputure Amaran MC RGBWW Lights, I looked at the whole charging case kit like hmmm 🤔 maybe, lol.

the shot at 3:13 is triggering my anxiety having the 600d just dangling on the spotlight mount there

[@BradyBessette]

I’m sorry!!!!

[@isaacmijangos]

Brady has been working for sure. I thought this YT channel was rated PG, bro. 🤣

[@BradyBessette]

Ahhahaha sorry!! Thanks for the support🤣

[@xyrean]

How did you guys gel the softbox? I know you can't use the gel holder with the 600d cause it will burn the filters? Did you clamp it? Or use tape?

[@BradyBessette]

We used the gel holder since it was at no more than 1%!

[@xyrean]

​@@BradyBessette Thank you, I can see it 12:58 now, though you did something else because it looks like the gel is covering so much of the inside of the softbox.

[@ghostlyvlogs8456]

Brady, do you have my damn class schedule??? I'm in Collins right now taking a lighting class and our assignment for this week is literally called "day and night". We have to light a scene and make it look like it's daytime and then relight it to make it look like it's night time. Haha thanks for the help

[@BradyBessette]

Ahahaha maybe I do;)

[@bafeink2]

just a quick question, are the contrast level on the daylight record scene meant to be that high

[@BradyBessette]

I did like the look yes

[@jtnfilm]

The old Sofhob (soft on face hard on body) technique does it again. Wandering DP is reaching far and wide.

OK I appreciate the effort, but I kinda didn't like it, I always like your cinematography and wait patiently for the next video, but this was not what I like to watch from this channel, it's almost like I'm watching an aputure's meh tutorials, sorry dude but I think you can do better than this, again appreciate the effort but it's not my favorite.
