The Framework in Action: Cinematography Breakdown

[@vinnieRice]

I absolutely love these breakdowns. Over the past few days you've completely changed the way I look at lighting. Bit of a game changer.

[@ericmccambridge1291]

you should join the Patreon group! Loads more content like this and we have a group on discord where we exchange ideas/ help each other out

[@pixelpearlproduction538]

Agree totally ... this is so informative... can’t even believe it’s free... it will be a great loss if we don’t go out and apply these to our work

[@Jakenbake98]

yoo same

[@austinatencio7775]

Been listening and watching you for 8 years now. One of the best to break it down. Thank you again for it.

[@AlexPerri]

This is absolutely, 100% my favourite new channel. I could seriously watch your breakdowns all day, every day. Awesome stuff man!

[@skylerbrown2230]

One of my favorite commercials I've seen lately, glad to see a breakdown of it. Really appreciate the depth you are going into on these. Have watched all in the series so far, loving them! Thanks Patrick!!

[@wanderingdp]

Glad you enjoyed it Skyler. Hopefully more to come

[@micahjamesfilms]

I think you're right about the car being composited in @6:05 since it's toppy on the car and long shadows on the pillars.

[@wanderingdp]

👍🏼

[@JarrodPeck]

These breakdowns are absolute gold!

[@SFJFilms]

Never seen this mercedes ad, looks like it was shot in some Portugal locations. The "mansion" is actually a Lisbon university. ANOTHER great breakdown, Patrick!!! Thank you!!

[@Zenavesta]

You are on a roll Patrick, damn!!

[@lukewell6451]

oh boy. again, this is so fricking good. shane hurlbut go packing!

[@mcgreevs24]

Best channel I’ve found in a long while. The cinematography teacher I wish I had. Thank you so much!

[@charlychesney]

Very glad I found your channel. I really like this breakdown and found it very informative. However, what impressed me the most is that you managed to go in dept without making it super long and/or boring. In my opinion you just give the right amount of detail. Great job!

[@kevinlien1696]

These breakdowns are insane, i can’t get enough

[@mortalbloke]

Exposing for the sky as a starting point is really intriguing

[@JakubChlouba]

Really loving these breakdowns man! Helping me understand lighting a lot better so keep em coming :)

[@miroslav2831]

great stuff dude! hands down one of the best cinematography channels right now

[@projectederecerca27c]

All you need is patrick's breakdowns, some videos from the cooke optics channel, some arri tech talk and some interviews from the filmround table and you are good to go.

[@sam.oates_]

I have just learnt soooo much watching just two of your break downs. I love these videos! Wow! Thank you! Keep it up.

[@wanderingdp]

Thank you! Will do!

[@chok1169]

I am from perú and I really love the way you teach cinematography. Thx so much for all you have done.

[@robinprobyn1971]

Do you think the (small) car was added in that wide court yard shot.. its shadow is with the light directly above it like a studio, but the pillar shadows have quite an angle to them.. ?

[@PeterDiBussolo]

I just got addicted to your channel

[@MikeEbrahimi]

These videos are gold! It's like getting a 4 year college degree in one day!

[@moinzain7867]

Sir can I get a chance to learn from you... Please

[@Photographicelements]

Loves these breakdowns, thank you! Adding “gritty mode” to lexicon.

[@rokkfilms]

Awesome! I think that shot with the painter was amazing and like how you explained it. So there are two women in the shot. One on the side of him and one behind him. But when the camera pushes in with the wide shot it's hard to see the lady behind him sitting at the desk, but the attention is on him mainly, so you don't really think about it until you see her behind him in the close up. But a very cool video man, thanks again.

[@rmpeete]

You're awesome brother!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge/perspective.

[@sprobertson]

First minute has me imagining an ad-blocking plugin where every ad is replaced with your 10 second voiceover

[@joaomestre2584]

The initial scene was shot in Portugal - Adraga’s beach

[@trashculture]

I love your breakdowns! Really helpful. Just one question: if the wide shot of the painter was lit by the sun, would the shadow lines (of the windows) on the back wall not be parallel?

[@DiogoGandra]

This is so satisfying to watch and hear. You really have a nice voice and lots of knowledge ahaha. Thank you for doing these videos!

[@nikson3200]

Shot on Alexa LF & K35

[@dominey]

What RGB light are you using to create the olive hue light behind you?

[@colormemike321]

You're hilarious dude. Your breakdowns have taught me so much over the past few years. Always spot-on, & helpful. So cool to see that you have a KZbin channel now. You deserve to have a big following ✊🏻

[@tim.van.emmerloot]

I honestly think the best advice is "No-one cares, make the shots look good" instead of trying to light a scene one way so it works kinda for all the shots.

[@andreyandonov]

What method my friend? I can’t decide from sofa, softhub, salt pap method. Which is the correct? Btw, it’s an amazing channel. Respect and thank you!

[@jakflasdick]

Sofhob. Soft On Face, Hard On Body

[@maxmisteno8072]

Thanks you for the videos brother. You really help me to improve my skills. Thank you so much

[@isaakkimmel6951]

Can you break down anything from the director Ian Pons Jewell? He is my favorite commercial director. Thanks for the great content, learning a ton!

[@JohannesFeltkamp]

Another great one! Thank you Patrick! It would be cool though to talk about some lamps which could be used for the breakdown you talk about ;)

[@holdmedear]

Patrick you are a godsend!! Please check out Mercedes Benz - In The Long Run. Love the ad and the cinematography!

[@wanderingdp]

i will give it a look

[@DaBadX]

Hey Patrick, love your breakdowns! Would love to see one for the Squarespace 'Launch It' commercial :)

[@wanderingdp]

I'll check it out

[@hehhehdummy]

What is meant by "level" 12:16? Is this referring to the waveform?

[@robnjk]

What's the method he mentions? "Sofhaff"?

[@bulmy]

Im looking for this too! Andre Softhub method? @Wandering DP please enlighten us :) Also Thanks for the videos

[@raphjaaf]

Sofhob, for Soft on face - Hard on body

[@robnjk]

@@raphjaaf ohhhhhh that makes sense - so is he only joking when he says Andre Sofhob?

[@macktaylordp]

@@robnjk almost certainly

[@joeesparks7]

3 min into this....SUBSCRIBED☝🏾😁 love content like this

[@aspiresaadi]

Love love the channel very informative and i love your style of delivering information ... but I’m a little new to the channel and on numerous videos you reference the framework.. is there a video link to the definition of the framework or an in depth explanation of the method

[@The33scap]

MOARRRR. Great video man

[@thebunn]

Just subscribed, incredible content. Thank you for sharing such rad wisdom!

[@zsoltdirectorofphotography9598]

Hey, on Patreon you have this brakedowns in full length? If yes I quickly go on there :) thank you

[@LarsonFX]

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge!! Keep it up brother!!

[@vanceuribe295]

I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your time

[@KonstantinA27films]

New subscriber to channel. What is the story with Kyiv drinking mentioned in few review videos? Is it cheap place to make videos or what is background?

[@billtotolo]

In the wide steadicam shot where the painter is at the easel, we can see hard shafts of light raking the floor, but on the next shot pushing into his face the floor is clean. Any idea if they flew in a silk or just waited for the sun to move?

[@wanderingdp]

my guess is they didn't lose that on purpose. just time and a shifting sun

[@MarkusGjengaar]

I needed this channel!

[@TUSHARDAFTUAR]

Thank you for such an amazing cinematography breakdown learned so much.

[@heinpz3518]

Your content is truly amazing mate. Thank you very much!

[@Praxiszooms]

I appreciate you beeing veeeeeery experienced. But for me it is not so clear always...but with your help I am getting better, Love your videos!

[@lytranDP]

I'm new to this channel. Can someone explain to me what exactly Patrick means by "framework"? Does he just mean upstage lighting?

[@zhezpac]

me too

[@DanielFewchuk]

The 'framework' is a general term he uses for a collection of techniques to make awesome looking shots, such as: ///upstage key - soft key light between the actor and background, not between camera and actor ///negative fill, negative fill, then more negative fill - to add contrast and drama to the face ///creating layers - people/shapes at different distances in the shot ///shooting into the 'L of the room' - putting the background far away for shallow dof ///salt and pepper all across backgrounds and faces - patches of dark and light to add contrast ///no 'sun sandwiches' - don't put the sun behind someone and try to reflect the sunlight into their face, just use it as a rim light

[@adnankhanfilms6366]

@@DanielFewchuk Thank you! that was helpful. Could you help with Andre softhub method, Don't know if I am spelling it right...

[@DanielFewchuk]

@@adnankhanfilms6366 all good! Haha yea the Andre Sofhob means 'Soft On Face, Hard On Body', where the idea is to have motivated light (eg. a person standing in a train, but the window is blocking some light), so the face ends up being soft but body is hard.. from my understanding

[@NathalyPinheiroo]

@@DanielFewchuk Thankss a lot !! Im trying to make a list of all these concepts by watching all the breakdowns.

[@zsoltdirectorofphotography9598]

Awesome like always

[@norizontal]

What method was mentioned at 13:39?

[@ilusaosemlimite]

amazing content as always!!! do keep them coming :)

[@MaryCarrozzino]

This is pretty informative!! Thanks a lot

thanks migrant

[@MarinaVancini]

hi there! would love to see u breaking down the SKODA commercial Hey Future. Cinematography was made by Tim Lorentzen / Directed by Esteban ❤️

[@JnkyrdStudios]

Love it bro honestly. Please review content with more colored folks, I know the methods don’t change but just would love your take on dealing with darker skin tones. Thanks Patrick.

[@wanderingdp]

if you see an ad you like throw it my way and i will get it on the list.

[@JnkyrdStudios]

@@wanderingdp will do brother, thanks

[@JacoboCastroCristo]

This is amazing! So so so much useful information! Please keep it up!! 👍👍👍

[@wanderingdp]

Thank you! Will do!

[@NikitaScacun1]

what gear are you using for filming videos?

[@independentmind8025]

thanks

[@dominiccole]

You know that content is good when you want to press like multiple times throughout the video.

[@jayaharidasa]

what Kalvin do you use on your face light?

[@frasmac]

Yes dude. Yes.

[@wanderingdp]

indeed.

[@nathanmachine-]

awesome. what software are you using to draw onscreen with notes?

[@prayforpeace2204]

could be one of many. Perhaps Epic Pen.

[@shadwellsong]

hey man you suppose that yellow wall behind the car is real?? its cool but was it real?? love these videos. oh and YAY!

[@drivetheone]

isn't that weird the fact there's no shapes of the sunlight comes from big windows, that we saw the prev shot, in the scene of the painter?

[@fireflamesss]

Hi, thanks for coming back with that knowledge good sir! Would it be possible for you to breakdown Kendrick Lamar's Element directed by Jonas Lindstroem & the little homies?

[@MVLonden]

can you spell out Andre Sawfab correctly so I can do more research on him? I'm having trouble finding him on google.

[@wanderingdp]

I took an oath to never taint his name in the written form

[@ashley.caldwelldp]

@@wanderingdp Haha! ^

[@RUSTFIRE]

Do we even need school nowadays? Those breakdown are just exactly what I was looking for since 2month

[@cloudiow]

What is going on!? So many uploads? I can't keep up with all my notes!

[@kiribundi]

How do you write the "andre soft hof" method? I'm not a native English speaker. I wanna learn about that hard light soft bounce method.

[@wanderingdp]

you won't find much written down. his name is usually only whispered on sets and the method passed on through the lineage of DPs across the world. plus he gave up on cinematography in the late 70s when he was forced to move back to his homeland to take up arms in the revolution. might have been the best ever if he would have stuck around

[@nickbean693]

@@wanderingdp Hi. Thanks for the breakdown. These are killer. And thanks also for the Pod. Was also wondering how you spelled his name.

[@Samvisualarts]

I appreciate you bro!!

[@stormferreira3010]

Andres Salfa, Andre Salpha, or andre self help? XD What is that hard body, soft face method actually called? I like your tutorials and I supported you on Patreon for a while. Good stuff.

[@macktaylordp]

Soft On Face, Hard On Body

[@williambrowne]

I didn't understand lighting until I saw this

[@mariosaliasi5563]

This guy knows his cookies from his biscuits

[@Clintamis]

Been watching these and learning a lot, I know you have a podcase and paid content, I'd love to see you plug it more. I'm certainly interested in the content, but don't know much about it. Sell your stuff more!

[@macktaylordp]

Pretty sure he's been doing podcasts long before the KZbin videos... Most people are coming to KZbin FROM the podcast.

[@miketan5603]

This shit is great! As a 3D artist im learning a lot!!

fuck man, this shit is so entertaining over a coupla beers

11:35 Haha "easely"

[@SSFootballComp]

Love these breakdowns, Patrick! I was hoping you could check out this Volvo commercial: vimeo.com/460189926 It's shot by Linus Sandgren on film, so you know it's good. I would especially like to hear you talk about the last shot of the commercial - how they lit it and whether or not you think the sky has been replaced. Cheers!
