Molus B500 -- Thanks for the breakdown, Alex! Many of my students like to shoot low-key scenes, and don't expose enough. This video helps bring that idea to life, so I'm going to share this with them. Cheers!

Molus B500. Your content has helped me elevate my lighting. I’ve been practicing at home a lot by myself and posting them on TikTok and Reels. Also been using grids more on my strip box and softbox. Been inspired by Rina Yang as well ever since Top Boy. Can’t wait to do bigger projects and give it these looks.

Also loved that you added the staircase, ladder & pile of wood because it created a frame to put all the focus on you in that scene.
