10ish Cinematic Lighting Setups... ONLY ONE LIGHT

[@DeanaandPhil]

De-light-ful video! As always! :)

[@backseatdriver9255]

Dephi TV abahahabahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[@Arri.]

I see what u did there 🙄👏🏼

[@CodyPyper]

That tip about the gaff tape on the ears is genius. 12:42. Never seen that before. Great knowledge in this video honestly. Potato Jet is Goat

[@aldariel744]

These videos should be more common. Light is the most important thing when you're shooting something. Thanks Potato!

[@bigdhav]

This video is just insane. Because I know some people paid hella $$$$ to learn this at college, or on some course. THANKS SO MUCH!

[@jasonthompson5790]

This barely scratches the surface of what you can learn in film school

[@shadi5885]

When the ARRI skypanel S60-C came out a few years ago, our production was the first to rent it out. We were working on a car commercial and we were filming the final “hero shot”. The skypanel dropped, it broke, it was bad. I’m glad I was a just an AC on that shoot 😂

[@nicklazur2264]

I learned more in 17 minutes here than I did in 2 years of film/photo school a while ago. Thank you.

[@ShaneHarderPhoto]

Another great modifier I love using is a china ball. Works great for a direct to camera shot, interview where you want to light 2 people with 1 light, and especially group shots where the talent is sitting in a circle. Think coffee shop conversation or poker game on a card table. I loved that idea of using the sun as the rim light with a bounce to fill the subjects face, that's one I've never done before but plan on using in the future, super smart!

[@mattkeefe3850]

I love your thirst for knowledge and your wiliness to share it. You are blessed with high energy and a great deal of enthusiasm. You make your "work" a joyful experience. You are blessed.

[@DavidAcampora]

Wow the dithering on that Red is crazy. So much banding.

[@allen.justin]

You light UP our whole world.

[@ttoniross]

Potato jet never ransout of energy. And the humor is on point.

[@GFXMentor]

Thank you :)

[@affanahmed6900]

Sir 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@kodie3583]

You know what a good one is "book lighting". Shoot that light against a white bounce board, then through some defusion to hit your target it usually produces some major defused light. Nice and "Charmin Soft" lighting haha

[@rodrigodiniz13]

Dude, you are the best, the way you do the tutorials with humor, they are so nice to watch... that is your differential, keep doing.

[@matthewthao3116]

I like the tape on the ear tip. Never thought of it even though it is so simple.

[@airindiana]

13:08 The wandering DP and the sun sandwich have entered the chat

[@adsertheblade]

Amusingly, one of the most interesting parts of this video is when you show how you can change a goofy guy flailing in front of the camera into a shot from a music video using lights and some smoke (and probably some good grading too). Thanks for the awesome video.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

The only potato worth listening to.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

...Mr. Jet, may I call you Potato? That was actually a great intro to lighting. THINKING about light and LOOKING is the first step to being a pro. Even when you’ve got your equipment your main tool is still your mind. Thanks.

[@hareesunuwar1380]

unlike all the other youtubers you always find the amazing and very knowledgeable contents

[@BlueDragonMedia]

Can't wait for that M50 vs EOS R video. Both of those cameras look great. I want an M50. I think it'd work very well for me when I do wedding videos, and my KZbin videos. I'm actually working on rearranging some stuff in my house to have a dedicated set. And I'll be spending more time on my videos, as I want to make them look as professional as possible. So this lighting video was very useful! Thanks, PotatoJet! :)

[@kerlyfries377]

Thankyou for this! It's amazing what results you can get with just a single light !

[@xchromehearxt8838]

3:20 he seems like the most calm and composed guy and then he actually mentions how it's important you should stay calm and composed. Makes sense

[@haraldweichhart7499]

That's a ton of stuff to play with. Very well done and super condensed. Thx a mill.

[@TheClintamis]

This is the basics. But fundamentals are where its at. Great vid.

[@oddnerdout]

Thanks for elucidating in a transparent way! I’ve seen several lighting videos and books on lighting but these examples were really fun and clear cut

[@Flythru]

This is by far my favorite video by Potato Jet. Thanks!!! I'm going to rewatch a bunch of times to remember all this info!!!

[@PeterPengKrogh]

Lighting is so important! Good en-lighten-ment :)

[@SantistaFighter]

Proper lighting makes a HUGE difference. I improved the lighting in my videos and people thought I upgraded my camera, still using Logitech C920 but Canon M50 is on the way, can't wait! :D

[@rossfromsa]

Nice one. Schumacher knows his stuff.

[@bernyecheverria]

DUDE this is so dope, I actually made a modifier to attach to that 7 inch dish, it lets you put gels and diffusers on with ZERO time wasted

[@jaredfaulkner2428]

How does he not have the same amount of publicity as corridor. He is like the king of tutorials

[@chrishudsonpk]

I can't believe I get to see this carefully made, invaluable content for free. Thank you one million times.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

this was by far the best light tutorial on youtube!

[@BushidoPhoto]

With the overhead lighting, if you add a reflector underneath you can get some cool catch lights on the bottom of the eye, which in my opinion is better than just dark eyes.

[@DeeNimmin]

Excellent explanation of these techniques.

[@sambochen2010]

Dude, that was so informative! I'm a lighting expert in CG and I learned a lot from these real life practical examples. Kudos! Your channel is leveling UP! 😎🤘

[@xGracer]

The highkick at the end hits me hard. uff

[@filipeko1991]

i just love your videos... there is no other better filmmaking channel on this youtube world!

[@CraigSinclair]

Awesome. I love the idea of getting super creative with one light and a reflector. Dead efficient, Jet

[@rinusworldzm]

Such amazing concepts to lighting... I finally understand who a gaffer is on set. Im definitely going to practice lighting techniques... once I get lights...

[@andrewspangler3462]

More real world lighting Tutorials are Totally Welcome if you ask me. Thanks again and best to you bud.

[@gnmarte]

okay okay okay... im convinced... after spending two days researching for my new youtube channel you´ve been the most entertaining/helpful.. I´ll subscribe.

[@mynameisbrigham]

You should do a "Hollywood Secrets revealed, starring Russel from UP"

[@levirosenmusic]

that toilet paper ending just became a whole lot more relevant

[@dreamyghost5856]

Potato Jet is visionary lol

[@zoltanelias]

Potato, just make more lighting video like this. Lighting is the most important thing. Comeon!

[@mobilechaosyt]

The 120d is definitely the one light people should get. The cheap leds are fine but the 120d is so much better and worth the extra. I can't wait for the M50 speed booster video. I'm looking to get a 50mm and speedbooster for my M50. Paired with my adapter I will have many more options for video and photography.

[@onemorechris]

super useful. i’ve used 2 and 3 lights in photography set ups but that’s unrealistically expensive for personal work so really nice to see how far you can go with 33% of the equipment to hand.

[@tenzinnorsang2179]

I really like the way you impart your knowledge and experience. Thank you very much.

[@dragyourhalo]

Man these videos with professionals you've been making recently (this and the microphone one with the audio engineer) are crazy helpful for an indie filmmaker. Thank you.

[@bryanbeneteau8908]

Hey, Gene can you please do more of these styles of videos, I am a filming student and I find these videos most valuable. Thanks

[@BigCityRips]

Great tips! Makes me want to photograph my dogs with some dramatic lighting

[@14pictures17]

Bro! Thank you so much for your hard work!! Your dialogue in the videos are like social network or the steve job movie were is engaging from start to finish!! Thanks for your dedication its really amazing!!

[@dinoulis]

Prolly the most informative easy to digest for lighting Video for ADHD ppl like myself. Explaining by showing and examples. Dude, lighting has always been intimidating for me, I am now very keen to get out there and experiment with it. Bottom line, Thanks to you and Eric

[@monalizamy]

please do tutorial with desk lamp for very low budget vlogger,hahaha

[@VecchioVolpone]

THIS hahahaha

[@bingbing9090]

eh abe cerah

[@1990dpatterson]

hey, that's actually what i use. 2 desk lamps with G&E 5000k led bulbs and some toilet paper draped in front of the lamp fixture to make a very crude "soft box" haha.

[@MrInsider33]

this is litterly this tutorial. just to the same thing with your desktop lamp and use a "floppy" lol. If you can not affort that either, use paper as a reflector. Maybe you could even use baking paper to soften your desktop light? Now I'm just thinking out loud haha but you get the point tho it's actually possible

[@chrisw5742]

@@1990dpatterson I took clamp on work light fixtures and put LED bulbs in them and wrapped white plastic bags around them then clamp them on microphone stands.

[@pruett89]

I bet this was sooo much fun to make. I mess around with my lights just for fun all the time and I spend to much time doing it. Add in a friend and some fog and you've got a real party

[@prabijshrestha]

I haven't seen any cool video like this about lighting 😍😍

[@dukoproduction9159]

Light is the most important for a good image, thank you for focusing on this topic.

[@samuelunnerstall]

this was super helpful and you're just the nicest and most insightful youtuber out there. you're the man

[@7landentertainment281]

I love film nerds and this guy is one of the best on YT. I always pick up new stuff or am reminded of stuff learned many years ago.

[@DNTCreativeMedia]

Love how you can take fairly complex subjects and make them accessible and easy. Good job!

[@aldrindetablan4358]

dude this is gold..thanks! floppy for the win!

[@michianadroneservicesllc858]

My first thought (floppy) was the old computer floppy disk. Remember those... Love your videos!

[@callenfoti1950]

I literally would have paid tons of money for this video. Thank you so much! Such valuable content

[@charlesxchaves]

Super helpful! This is exactly what I needed to learn, thanks Potato Jet! Keep being awesome

[@tombuck]

💡I love how clearly, simply, and practically you explain these things. I’ve got a client project coming up this weekend, and I’ll experience the with a few of these techniques!

[@imdavidhammond]

This was great! A lot of wisdom here. Thanks!

[@victorenejo]

Okay, I think I'm addicted to your video 😭

[@noahsduck4109]

Okay... Yep u right it should be called a floppy! I love it!

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

Your videos are awesome. Thanks for making free videos here on KZbin and not making movies where we have to buy $15 popcorn just to watch it.

[@anthonyhall9453]

Great video Gene, I learned a lot. Your videos always put a smile on my face as I learn.

[@henrickcamacho4543]

I learned a lot on this one and potato man speaks like he doesn't take breaths while talking

[@0xBerto]

You’re videos are great. Thank you. Never stop....... ever

[@electricwavemedia]

Thank you SO MUCH! Literally writing every angle down in our notebook to try out in the field! Potato Jet, your content is GOLD!

[@ManuelMartinez-dy7gv]

As a total amateur this is priceless. Thanks for the great content.

[@NickAshleyOfficial]

This is great! I wish I found more videos about semi-professional lighting.

[@samuelmaout3032]

Hi, the funny thing about that video is it's about lighting but I really dig the sound. Good job buddy !!!

[@evaderknives]

I'm a noob when it comes to videography(though, I've become obsessed) I always thought the camera was the most important part, but lately I realize it's all about lighting, even action cam footage can be made to look good with the proper lighting... thanks for all the tips... have a great day, take it easy...

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Great video! I’m an old timer and just getting used to inexpensive led lights. I’m lusting after a kit of the 120 COB-one thing I miss about tungsten fresnels and open face lights is the control and versatility. Let me leave you with a thought of the day. If cinematography is painting with light, the grips and electricians are the cinematographer’s paint brushes.

[@Ucada]

Sooooo much fun learning lighting!

[@haha-px5xp]

THIS IS PURE GOLD

[@MichaelVettas]

one of the best simple lighting videos with no fuss showing examples, great video mate

[@sebastiankoeck]

Nice pro tips in this. Like the c-stand rule. Been to too many sets where this was exactly a problem...

[@matthis4935]

thats honestly one of the best explanations on lighting that i ever found!

[@harisusmanivlogs]

I am really impressed with the techniques

[@freshrevelationmedia8123]

Even though lighting may not be a popular topic Videos like this that are fun and also informative !!! Great Job guys

[@bingxinzhang314]

Learned so much!! Thank you so much Potato Jet!

[@smelliot111]

Can't wait to try all these techniques with my Phone torch. Thanks Tomato Jet!

[@stever1514]

more lighting videos please this one was awesome

[@thomascleveland]

@15:45 quite a prophetic moment there.

[@ariccolbert9613]

didn't think it would, but bro this video really help me out.

[@mattural20]

I haven’t looked at all your videos, yet, but I really hope there is one on how to talk on camera like you do. This is helpful and funny stuff. Thank you!

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Really really good, helpful video. Thanks Gents.

[@noahsduck4109]

Thanks for enlightening us on this important subject.

[@ishina7525]

im new for this subject but this is gold men.learned so much.thank you

[@ChuckPappas]

Love seeing my boy Eric on this channel! Thank you autoplay for bringing me here!

[@lanceforrest8828]

This is your best video to date. Keep up the work

[@prettycoolPJ]

SUPER informative! Top 5 so far. Thanks!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Awesome stuff man! Gaffing is the most underrated part of all of this. It's also so confusing for beginners, so it's great seeing some of that!

[@stephencolor2010]

Gave me some ideas for a shoot next week. Thanks!
