There are a couple of sections in this part where the voice over audio goes a little funky when viewed on a phone. TV, headphones, speakers all seem to be fine, so possibly something mono related - I haven't been able to figure this one out! So headphones are recommended if viewing on a phone!

Rarely do I find a video without some kind of garbage; this one's pure gold.

[@lucasmelo7106]

You've no idea how much do you change me perspective in cinematography with every new video that you release. Thank you so much, Rob.

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

I'm super happy to hear that Lucas, I really appreciate it! Thank YOU so much for watching! :)

[@jessemcgrane2748]

No nonsense, no posturing,. Just pure education. Fantastic stuff. Much appreciated.

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thank you Jesse, glad you got something out of it!! :)

[@kelvinfunkner]

Day to Night was always a mystery to me...showing the long exposure night shot and how similar it was to a day shot blew me away! It's incredible to think of shooting a bunch of shots for different times of day from one lighting setup! Thanks so much!

[@Imagineunicorns_zm]

Bro literally elevated my filming skill he ain't even know it. Brilliant!

[@markhamanderson2656]

Ive been lighting and shooting film and video for three decades. If newbies would just pay attention and absorb your lighting tutorials, they would become much more creative and possibly get more work as cinematographers. These techniques are also time savers, and subsequently, budget savers!!! EXCELLENT SERIES

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thanks so much Markham, super happy you think my work is worth a lot to learn from - I really appreciate it!!

[@Direct19681]

Man Rob, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re lighting videos are hands down the most informative videos available!! Great job brother!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

I appreciate it David, thank you!! Happy you're getting something out of them! :)

[@Direct19681]

@@RobEllisCinematographer You bet brother! I’m a Sag actor and have been on many Hollywood level movie sets. And your breakdown of lighting helps to make things make so much more sense. An avid filmmaker myself, I have a pretty vast knowledge of lighting techniques but you put a whole different spin on your presentation of it! Awesome!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

@@Direct19681 That's awesome to hear that my breakdowns are helping things make more sense - I'm sure the setups of these techniques are a little more DIY than you're used to haha! But the ideas behind them I would hope are the same! And I'm glad to hear you like the way I present the ideas, that process seems to be something that intuitively makes sense to me, so I'm glad it's received well by others. Thanks so much man!! :)

[@ImaginationFolder]

I freakin' love these lighting videos, Rob. I bought the Nanlite Forza 500 because of you, and I've implemented your techniques into several videos that I've shot. Lighting is FAR more important than I ever realized, and your videos have shown that to me, resulting in an instant increase in quality of our content. Bless your face ❤

[@nicholasboule5134]

Lighting is the way of the true masters

[@ImaginationFolder]

@@nicholasboule5134 ​ @Nicholas Boule It's crazy how every new cinematographer thinks a new shiny camera is the way of the true masters, when it's really lighting!

[@nicholasboule5134]

@@ImaginationFolder ya its just bad education and misinformation. tools are tools and saying a new tool will make you Deakins or Hoytema is frankly retarded. sorry, no other way to put it. now camera techniques and lighting techniques are the way.

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

And I freaking love this comment! Such a kind thing to say and I'm truly happy that my videos have helped you with your own work - and I really appreciate you letting me know this too! All the love! 🖤

[@EstudioHelios]

This video was so in depth. I got much more than I was expecting. Thank you.

[@nicklarovere]

Man, you make tutorials like hardly anyone else. I knew these principles already but it is such a great video. This is something not talked about much and you break down the how and why very well.

[@JoeyTheMonkk]

Best cinematographer on KZbin right here

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Too kind!

[@monolithpoem]

Thanks for the subscribe, Rob. My channel genuinely wouldn't be here without yours. Thank you, brother.

[@shilohrussell-smith3708]

You continue to blow me away every time, as someone who wants to be a filmmaker, I can not tell you how much I’ve learnt and benefited from your content. Never stop, thank you for these

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thank you so much for your kind words and it's awesome to hear how much my work has helped you! It makes doing these videos worth it! So thank you!! 😊

[@fg.salomon]

Never seen someone explaining this so easily as you just did. you are talented my man

[@NurdauletKaisekenov]

Why this content has a small audience? It is worthy at least 1 million subscribers, thank u bro for ur efforts.

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thanks so much man I appreciate it!! Maybe one day we'll get there haha! :)

[@KuyaQuatro]

this is probably the best explanation and breakdown of day vs night color temps I've come across. thank you so much for this!

[@nagram]

This may very well be the best video that exist on youtube.

[@luisgondim8283]

All the think and consideration to justify and teach the lightinhg setups deserves youtube Oscar, really. You're great rob! And as always, thanks for sharing

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Haha thank you so much for the kind words Luis and thank you for continuing to watch my videos and support my channel, I truly appreciate it!! :)

[@lechiffre1988]

Just found this channel... this is the absolute best I've seen ever on youtube

[@TDavidPoe]

Thanks so much for this beautifully illustrated explanation

[@jeromelightbody5155]

absolutely wonderful video. explaining different types of lighting, qualities of light, and how to augment one lighting setup into different scenes. brilliant video. I love it

[@Freddd95]

These lighting series are the best I've seen on youtube (and I've seen a few). Subscribed!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Absolutely! Thank you for watching!! 😄

[@FilmsByVo]

I’ve always avoid white balance as most videos go over my head but this was great explanation and easy to follow

[@Kross94]

straight to the point with numbers and informations. respect

[@foodstrongfamily]

This is unbelievable! Thank you for all this incredible information!!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

[@paulconway1176]

I’m so glad I found this Channel it’s imo the best and most knowledgeable on KZbin. I’ll probably get the £15 course this week as a thank you for such content as well as get the extra material! Rob if you run any workshops I’ll be interested for sure 👌🏻

[@FanchantedWeddingCinematics]

You are the best. I learnt something today😂🎉❤ Whooray! Thank you so much for helping out a young filmaker like me.

[@siddhantmogaveera]

Okay now when I say this I'm not even being like extra nice or anything but you truly are a great teacher man! The quality of your videos is just unmatched! Thank you so much for these videos! I'm so glad to have found your channel!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Too kind! I really appreciate that, never really saw myself in that light at all until I started doing these videos, so thank you! I appreciate your kind words, thank you so much! :)

[@claytonsstorm9925]

Rob.... this video is something very special.. its a gift for many of us who want to learn.. thank you

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thank you so much and I'm very happy you consider this so important to learn from! I appreciate it 😊

[@heyimceli7999]

I’m an amateur filmmaker who is constantly doubting a lot about how much I’m able to learn and apply in my own projects. Your videos are giving me a lot of knowledge and confidence. Truly inspiring, greets from Puerto Rico. 🖤

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

I'm happy my videos are helping you to learn and inspiring confidence in you, that's absolutely fantastic and I'm very thankful for your kind words! Greetings from the UK! 🖤

[@vladislavv8118]

OMG that's beautiful! Thank you so much for such a detailed and absolutely clear lesson, that's the pure education indeed. And the pure magic of the cinema

[@TheSpectreWorld]

Rob you are really fantastic. Thanks for what you do!

[@cmg]

very great breakdown for a lighting-noob like me. you should price your course at least 10x for the given value!

[@DesertCookie]

This video has helped my understanding of lighting for day and night immensely. Now I have to find a way to represent that on our low budget with 3x 40W LED panels and 2x 11W LED lights. I just bought your course and will be eagerly watching the third episode. Also, finally some KZbin videos that fit on my 21:9 screen without black bars on the side.

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Happy to hear the video has helped and I very much appreciate your support - I hope part 3 also helped in some way! Thank you so much! 😄

[@federicorozzi2910]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. The ammount of new perspectives and possibilities this video has gave me in insane THANK YOU SO MUCH

Wow thank you so much! One of these few moments im really thinking about to get the full version :)

[@abdulfattahazooz]

insane amount of info videos like these are just rare

[@Leprutz]

I knew how to set it on camera. What I didn't,t know was all the detail explaining why and how we perceived the light. Amazing work. Thank you very much.

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thanks so much Stephane, glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it!! :)

[@AANasseh]

I love the pacing in your videos. It's as if it has no fat and gives enough time to digest the concise but profound transfer of knowledge. Kudos Rob!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

It''s difficult to know sometimes if I'm explaining too much or too little, or it's too fast or too slow - so it's always a massive relief to hear I'm hitting that middle ground haha! 😅 thank you so much!! :)

[@AANasseh]

@@RobEllisCinematographer You're explaining with just the right amount of info! It's to the point and has no fluff. The pace and the music and the tripod set up is basically what most drama cinematography is all about. Keep up the great work. Each of your shot selections could easily be part of a drama in fine Indy movie man! Great job!

[@Akimitsu64]

This is the best video explaining I've seen yet! thankyou so much! :D

[@melankolikfilms]

Even though I do this for a living, this was an absolutely masterful explanation. I love watching this sort of stuff to consolidate my knowledge. Brill!

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Thank you so much Jason! :) Absolutely, I'm the same - even making these videos are useful for me, as I pick up little things I might usually gloss over or not think about too much!

[@marchjoan4750]

I've seen this video for more than 10 times. Thank you soooo much

[@RobEllisCinematographer]

Haha I'm glad you're getting so much out of it! I appreciate it - thank you! :)

I think I am already seeing progress from these videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@m.c_airsoft]

Insanely useful explanation here, thanks for sharing this !

[@Jacob-wu5ul]

I learned more from the visual illustrations in this 10-min video than I did from a 4-month course in film school. Cheers, Rob! This is inspiring, high-quality work, and KZbin is better for it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
