was this video helpful? what other questions do you have about lighting video? i should have noted in the video but forgot to mention: in order to get that softer moody style lighting at night as seen in the "ain't no sunshine clip" you simply need to crank down the lighting brightness until you achieve the look you're going for. i probably have my light on 60% or something in that video vs 75-100% in this tutorial video.

[@iamkevinkouassi]

Amazingly helpful

How long does it usually take you to learn a song by heart/ prepare to perform? I tend to be very impatient, not practice and then get frustrated when I mess up my takes...

[@JinXian]

do you use a filter on your lens? like a promist or somethingelse? it looks dreamy =) or it's a done during post production ?

[@besaliju]

Super helpful, me and my bro always said that your videos are lighted so well so this is v cool that you're sharing the knowledge as well

[@MuneneK]

you're a blessing.

[@whaxmusic305]

I don't think people realize how much thought musicians are putting into content these days. It's not just working on the craft, but also recording, tracking, mixing, lighting, video, editing, marketing that content for different channels . It's wild how much goes into it! Thanks for giving us a sneak peak into your process. It's great!

[@VladimirKostek]

Never expected to see lighting info from watching ur music vids, but as a content creator i'm here for it! Thanks for some of the extra tips I grabbed here 🙂

[@gabrielpita11]

I think that making a nice looking video is as important as the music itself when it comes to recording a cover video, and is nice to see how you managed to create these cool, smooth shots. Great content Joe!!

[@Gabou]

"not very creative", DUDE ! Sooo incredibly creative, you're a true inspiration, thanks for sharing what's going on behind the scenes :)))

[@shay9508]

This make me appreciate my favorite content creators even more.

[@LaurenFrancisco]

WOAH. Thank you for this! can't wait to try all of these tips in my studio. Your lighting was always my inspiration. Perfect!

[@adenikeakindele]

This is very helpful. Thank you!

[@mikecole4489]

Brooooo this is gonna change the game for me!!!

[@jaichanellie]

I loveeee the overhead look! It gives a spotlight/stage effect and it feels really intimate.

[@UrBigSisKey]

Completely new to learning production skills thanks for the introduction :)

Thanks a million for this!

[@CaptainProjects]

I loved the video! Looking forward to the camera settings + Color grading tutorial video. Keep up the amazing content!

[@Lightyear.studios]

That one 35 Zeiss lens is one I can't live without man... Lovely video! You should do more cinematography videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@peculiar2010]

This is good! It’ll make me pay more attention to this when I look at videos. I noticed how your body has a shadow on the couch WHILE just above the darkness of your shadow is the light on the couch. Good stuff! Oh, and yes, you definitely be singing in the forrest sometimes! 😂 If a Joe sings in a forrest…OK, I’m done 😂🙈

[@lovemoremzatinkhalamba4882]

Super helpful dude! Thanks for sharing, you should do more videography tutorials!

[@julesthedreamer125]

📝 Thanks and noted - your lighting always sets a mood. 🔥I’m about to get some new gear. 😩 I hope you get better soon! ✨

[@joshualepdung]

[@MrJawnO]

Fam…this is great!

[@witty188]

Thank you 😍 😍

[@RyanWebber]

Bro, I do videography for a living and you're absolutely crushing it. Awesome work. Would love to see your color grading!!!

[@estt1252]

Amazing introduction to the words

[@ebonyeboni]

“I could use a 50mm” gon flex on. ‘‘em 😂

[@mikefermin2530]

Love this breakdown! Another setup you should try out is movin that couch forward a bit and having an rgb led shoot upwards from the floor to the wall behind the couch. Could also be a dope silhouette look

[@whatisjoedoing]

nah.. i like natural looks

[@sarahmayberry3505]

My fiance sent me your videos and they are amazing! Been trying to find a unique cover of "Hey look ma I made it" for him to dance with his mom with at the wedding. Just saying I think you would do something lovely with it!!

[@calvinmartin4539]

Hey brother i really like your style of cinematography 👌 a suggestion i would give for your background is to use gobo light stencils to project patterns on your wall (perhaps leaf paterns)

[@LitchfieldParkFamily]

Great information! New Subscribers here! Enjoy your channel 🎶💯🎸

[@bbeckgurung]

Great tutorial. Can you make a similar video for music recording as well?

[@otrmarco]

Great videos , super helpful. One question, which camera + lens do you use ? Thanks

[@mpunjani]

Love the couch dude! Where did you get that from?

[@alexanderbelotte9642]

Great video, do you ever use soft filters or black mist filters on your camera lenses to enhance that soft halo look?

[@iamcookierobinson]

Can you make a video on how you film and edit videos... like how to add/sync vocals to a video? I really want to start making videos similar to yours but really don't know where to start! Thanks so much!

[@mr.continuity]

nice nice, very detail and concised. now, whats the grade?! how did you grade this

[@ChrisNanche]

@joseph solomon Hey man, is there any chance you can share the camera you're using? It looks so dope

[@MrJGJ87]

how do you set the focus when you sit that far away ? any tips ? is the camera always on autofocus ?

[@sovannoreakheng]

You don’t turn on any lights beside these two right? do you use filter too?

[@AnjelLovely1]

Not a question.....just wanted to say, I hope you feel better.

[@zeyadneethling1758]

[@Jan-ud7me]

Please, sing the new Daniel Caesar's song. I think it'll perfect In your voice 🤩
