“Neg neg neg, dark dark dark, little hand”. I love how much I’m really learning from your content!!! Keep it coming!!

[@JoacoCarnero]

You should do a breakdown of anything done on natural light only. That would help us to film stuff on a budget. Most of us don’t have any light equipment but still wanna try this out. Pd: congrats, you taught me more than my teacher in college.

[@JoacoCarnero]

And thank you! 🙌🏻

[@macktaylordp]

He has done this... On this channel too! Edit: And in video form

Hey, Have a quick suggestion here, would love to see you look at some lower budget ads and talk about what you can do to improve them. Also loving the content, have learned so much already!

[@arminkorsos]

I love these breakdowns, thank you for putting the time in to share your knowledge!! Super helpful

[@fatheadmediapro]

Analyze Ratched on Netflix. There’s a scene on episode 2 or 3 where there in a restaurant, all glass windows and the talent is backlit. Seems like it would have been a very difficult situation. Love the channel. Thanks for all the knowledge!

[@gonjouls9521]

Dude! This is gold! Expect me to buy your course soon bro. I just met your youtube channel, which broght me to the podcast and then the course. I'm just loving your content, in every way. Keep it up!

[@kaitlynscardino5423]

I don’t know what it is about you but you explain things to make it seem so doable and it’s extremely helpful! Thank you!!

[@Jsfilmz]

hahahahah honestly the only good thing that came out of covid is patrick having time to make more videos. Hope all is well with you man.

[@whitetigerworkshop8413]

Dan Mindel?

[@nwb741]

another great breakdown, thank you sir. I think the reflection in the cellphone closeup is actually the top of the lit candle it's in front of. pretty good look

[@bensharplesfilm]

Thanks Patrick for posting so frequently, really appreciate it!

[@randallburgess6393]

I love the color treatment as well.

[@chayafilms3090]

Recommend all the future Dp's to follow this channel !!! Love the way things are explained in this channel !!!!

[@tonelessbod]

Dude you’ve gotta do a breakdown of YOUR lighting setup!!

[@shadycola]

love your breakdowns, learned so much in less than a week. honestly learned more in watching 5 videos than 8 weeks of my film class

[@CINEMATICJ]

Nice video bro. All the Best

[@ace.b]

Volvo - Moments. Plz

[@timthompsondp]

One of the best commercials ever made.

[@florianmoritz2993]

yes, please!

[@bseng]

Been loving all the breakdowns Patrick. I've learnt so much from your podcast and these video break downs have been another great learning resource. Thanks so much!

[@mrblue2]

The most chilling breakdown so far💕

[@Praxiszooms]

knowledge is still the most important thing to make great work.

[@Zenavesta]

Here I was thinking the wig was gonna make an appearance haha Thanks for sharing Patrick

[@aaronmassey]

Very insightful look at the process! Well done. Keep making these!! :)

[@AmrNazeero]

Hello, can you put a link to the commercial in the description please

[@louisb_dp]

I'm pretty sure your description of the lighting plan is not acurate, their may be a soft box on top but hard light plays a big role in this scene. Didn't you notice the hard shadows below the character on the wide shot? My guess is a tungsten fresnel 3/4 front on the women.

[@rokkfilms]

Another great job man! Thanks again for all you do! You always say neg, but since I don't know that much about lighting I was thinking negative space in the room. But then I came across another video about using negative fills using flags and black cloth. Then it dawns on me. LOL. I have a closet full of that stuff that I bought from Digital Juice a long time ago. I have the shadow kit, Flag Kit, Diffusion Gel Kit. So now I have a better idea of how to use all this stuff. lol!

[@aminDehghann]

5 minutes in and I'm learning so much.

[@TheAustinicus]

Nice breakdown! It's more contrasty than his narrative stuff (where he uses more underexposure to create darkness) but my bet is on Bradford Young

[@clarkcamera4813]

Gonna go with Dan Mindel here.

[@BronsonWilson]

Thanks for these mate, I learn so much every time. Appreciate it!

[@ezelinkmedia7228]

Thank you for sharing.

[@antoniluc2069]

brilliant, very informative, thanks!

[@watchfuleye2163]

Good. Thank you!

[@zayninseoul]

Appreciate the uploads again 🥵😭 As a visual learner, its hard for me to keep up with the podcast. Rly appreciate these youtube contents 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@davidbroughton5237]

Who is Bradford Young and Jeff Cronenweth? DPs for 800 alex

[@SCrowley91]

Steve Yedlin too

[@davidbroughton5237]

RIP legend

[@ImMiltonBradley]

hey! how are you doing the annotation drawings over your videos?

[@NAdoTEg]

in that first wide shot, I notice that the mic stand is casting a hard shadow, but the mic stands in the back look like they have some diffusion. You said there is a soft box above, but how would they get the hard shadow of the big mic stand with that?

[@TelekinesisStudios]

I don't think those are hard shadows. I think they're the edges of rugs. I could be wrong, but I don't see any hard shadows in there anywhere.

[@adotleee]

This was so informative.

[@yacocanessa1531]

where can i find this commercials?

[@shredruns]

Goat

[@prayforpeace2204]

What if the client asks for high key lighting? Is it still fun for you?

[@SQUAWWW]

Question how do you go about ripping your commercials and getting them in Resolve? As of now, I have a really sketchy way of doing it but it's killing my computer slowly haha. Any help would be DOPE!

[@VinnieCskate]

YOU ARE MY FILM SCHOOL! AND I WENT TO FILM SCHOOL!

[@okiwidianto8582]

realy want to the tittle of every video that you discuss,, amazing content.. thanks

[@pixelpearlproduction538]

Do you think you could break down an advert that isn’t that good ? Just to show us what to avoid ? And what not to do ? Thanks man love your video still can’t believe this is available to us .... like filmschool for free

[@Powersfilms]

Steve Yedlin? This feels like Steve Yedlin. Did I win?!?!?

[@MarcoCasadO]

[@nicholasboule5134]

well from how dark it is im saying B.Young ASC for sure

[@nathanielregierdp]

Dan Mindel

[@aughey]

Many of us are creating recordings/streams of stage shows that would have typically been performed live. My challenge has been convincing the stage lighting guys to get rid of their gells and harsh intensity/focus lights and create a more even wash of light. What would you advise for lighting a stage set for video?

[@buddyfx7026]

Thought I was looking at Cedric from Mars Volta in that thumbnail..

[@Owlbot]

"Guess who the DP is!" Titles the project B Y 😂

[@randallburgess6393]

haha just a couple of nobody's Hi Owl Bot nice to see you checking out the site! I got your LUT working finally.... even though you forgot to get back to me LOL

[@Owlbot]

@@randallburgess6393 my bad dude, I'm coloring two feature length docs and in prepro for a commercial I've been waaaaay busy.

[@randallburgess6393]

@@Owlbot LOL no worries brother! Good luck with the grade...

[@chumcool]

Well.... Who Is it?

[@InsomniaPictureWorks]

Great breakdown, and Rita Ora is smoking hot.

[@davidp158]

Keep it simple when you can.

[@dictionaryofwords1108]

There's always an offhanded comment dissing the 1st AC lol

[@alexandersutton-hough1590]

Third video I watched today and yeah he disses them a lot. I am sure his camera crew really loves working with this guy.

[@SimoBenziane]

This comment is for the Algorithm. Love your videos

[@TheProVideo]

it will be really interesting your comment on my video ))

[@mathiastegtmeier9714]

The shadows are definitely way too crushed. You can see in the scopes that most of the shadow information is lost and correspondingly it gives the image a very harsh quality.

[@tim.van.emmerloot]

So no-one 's gonna comment on the thumbnail? ok
