Soft Lighting Techniques | Cinematography Practice

Sup People! Today I go over a few different ways to achieve soft lighting that you can do at home. In this video, I used a Nanlite Forza 300, a loose sheet of Silk, a V-Flat Board, White Window Sheers, and Unbleached Muslin. These are just a few examples of materials that can be used to achieve soft cinematic lighting. Enjoy!

Thank You Carlo for this, I honestly and personally love and appreciate your tutorials and videos, I love how you always lookout and select your topics 👏🏾👏🏾 Bro I concur and totally agree with your honesty in the intro; working a full-time job, having to think through topics and concepts, making time to shoot and create, doing some voluntary/freelances, editing, it is all work brother, and sometimes you just need someone to lift you up, so thanks and don’t stop brother, never stop, you are born for this! Much love to all of you creators who are struggling and haven’t come out to acknowledge it, but you keep creating! 👏🏾👏🏾 ❤️❤️❤️

It's okay to feel unmotivated sometimes. Nevertheless great video. Some comparisons between the different scenes would have been great, for example the first stairs scene. Keep it up
