As a DP myself with a daughter leaning toward following her dad's footsteps I am so glad Aputure chose to utilize such a talented woman for this video. Women are so under represented in this business. Hopefully more women will see Valentina's skill and confidence and realize they can rise in this male dominated field. Because talent is more important than anatomy! You rock, Ms. Vee! And I'm going to order a Nova this month!

Who said you MUST randomly bring sex and sexism into every fucking thing? Firstly, Women aren't 'under represented', whatever that's supposed to mean. Women do not CHOOSE to get into certain fields, they choose to get into other fields. It's just like men are terribly under represented in nursing, in teaching, especially primary and pre-school teaching. How's that? Never seen you complain about that? Women are also under represented in any kind of TOUGH job and hard labour, be it working in dirty sewers or dangerous coal mines, or going and dying in wars. Dying and suicides are also male dominated. Ever complained about it? Secondly, who cares if anyone is 'under represented' in anything? People get into fields they wish to, fields that they're good at. Men and women are DIFFERENT and are skilled at different things. Why should we make the 2 different genders equal? That's unfairness. Let's enjoy the diversity and difference. Let's not force anyone to get into any field just to 'make a difference' or 'change the tide'. Tide doesn't need to be changed.

@@bakrichodkatwa267 around 20 years ago, I wrote an essay on the glass ceiling in the film industry which would later help me in my application to enrol on a university degree in video and new media production. Here I am at the age of 35, working as a videographer and a qualified film tutor myself, still using great online videos like this to support students and also aid my own learning and development. Having read your angry comments, it seems like my decision to write about the glass ceiling all those years ago is still of relevance today. In 2014, only 5% of women directed the top 2000 US box office films and in 2020 no female directors received Oscar nominations. The industry needs great role models like Valentina if we are to move towards shattering that ceiling and inspire the next generation of talented female filmmakers. Why on earth would a young girl today with the smallest interest in filmmaking decide that this is a career worth pursuing when she has to sit and read the bitter, angry comments that you feel obliged to post in a response to what was nothing but a positive reaction to an excellent video? Go away and educate yourself.

@@bakrichodkatwa267 It's not randomly bringing sexism in. It's real and evident in the business and somthing the businss knows it needs to address. And there are a LOT of women who want to be DPs and the road is harder for them. Period. I know because I've been in the business for twenty years. The real question is why am I bothering to reply to such an obvious asshole? Must you be such an asshole in your reply? Must you be so insulting? I'm pretty sure what isn't random here is you being an asshole because you do it so well.

I think for me I would have liked to try overexposing everything by about a stop, not clipping, and then I would bring it all down in post so that the entire scene would barely be lit by the blue moonlight. I think the adjustable aperture lights would have been great for this so I could have the practicals following that same barely lit, super soft look. It would be similar to what you did. Love this video. Great work.

The story writing can be a little better. If there’s a hacker who’s planning to hide in the dark, I would expect that hacker to have a flashlight. I would rewrite the scene so that when the boss leaves it appears to be an empty office. Then the hacker turns his flashlight on under his face, and then crawls out from underneath the desk.

I find these tips absolutely amazing! Now I see…I am sooooo obsolete! I always thought movies were to be viewed comfortably. And, I thought movies nowadays where you can’t see a bloody thing were an error in cinematography. But now I realize, I’m not supposed to be able to see it! WOW! What a revelation! Maybe I should drink 3-4 glasses of wine, or better yet, Chivas Regal, and then it won’t matter that the movie is so dark that I have not a single clue as to what I’m seeing! Isn’t that just the coolest thing! 😁

To light a scene without too much light in general, I would make sure there is a soft light source serving as ambience light. I'd like the scene to still have enough contrast, so adding in a pop of hard light somewhere that doesn't take up much space (e.g. streetlight, harsh light peeking through cracks). I'd also like to side light or back light the subject for a bit more mood. This video was super helpful! Thank you (: (the bit with using the aputure spotlight to fake the office lights was genius)

I love the tips and this is very helpful! One of my favorite things to do is when I'm filming a scene with a computer, if I'm not filming the actual screen is to find a nice white image and blast that on the screen so I get a soft lighting that lights them up without the use of mounting another light. Perfect for sets when I'm on a smaller budget.

Thanks! I actually wanted an 85 to milk the bokeh as well - but I wanted the frame to be wider to include the screen. However there were a lot of tables and computers in the way of me being able to move my camera back to get a wide enough frame on the 85. And we were already running very low on time so we had to make it work without moving any furniture. Sometimes decisions are made for us based on the limitations we have at the moment.

I love these videos with Valentina, they’re super helpful. I really like how we get to see camera settings too, and her breakdown of the where and why of her placement is great. I know personally I would be grateful to see maybe a histogram or some type of guideline of exposure (especially when lighting for darkness)... I know with lower cost gear I have less ISO to play with and struggle with artifacts in my higher contrast footage (but I’m also not shooting with the bitrate or dynamic range of a C70). All in all, these are invaluable to me.

This is simply brilliant. It’s like “live art” .Rennaisance art has a lot such light and shadows that’s recreated using their pastels and brush work. To recreate them with lights and camera is similar to that. I can imagine the amount of story boarding and planning that went behind such a scene creation. In a movie such a scene would be heightened with a very tense background score. Learnt so much here. My current set is a similair study space turned narration booth . Cheers guys

Loved the MC and B7c usage. Under the table felt odd, but hey I don't know the space. Might've been cool to borrow a shot from Jurassic Park (93) when Lex is leaning up against that kitchen cabinet and the Raptors are prowling in the background. Have the Hacker model Lex, dolly across as the room Boss leaves his office, camera move reveals the hacker kneeling in wait. This shot could also lend itself to a fun chance to mock some colorful street lights pin pointing across his torso, face, and ceiling (?). The street bokeh could've implied there were some colorful lights bouncing in... maybe (e.g. skyscraper window fight in Skyfall). Valentina, I love your work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity.

If I was lighting a nighttime computer scene, I would use a real monitor as a practical. It might be harder to control, but you know that the spread and color will be completely authentic. Plus, if your character has glasses or another reflective surface is visible, you'll get a real monitor reflection. As far as the moonlight goes, color, saturation, softness, and intensity are all stylistic things which will be determined by the needs of the story. For example the night scenes in The VVitch aren't exaggerated at all, using mostly natural light. Great video, thank you!

If you want a nice big, soft source moonlight with a great silvery tone to it, wrap an HMI in CTB, with a 1/2 or 1/4 diff and bounce it into a hard or soft silver board (depending on the intensity of moonlight that you're looking for) it looks fucking great and really gives a better tone to a standard 6500/7000K direct light. If you have a 4 or 5k HMI, you can light a gigantic amount of space with this set-up, but I would recommend getting a 8x4 silver poly and plenty of stands.

I thought the use of the MCs, the B7Cs, and even the 300DIIs were well done. I thought the light gags were nice especially the remote! My biggest change would have been to get rid of the moonlight in its entirety. A lot of the times, it felt frontal, and I think when you're in an office and have a background of a cityscape like in this video, there are so many sources you could draw from. Most offices never have all their lights off. There are machines whirring, emergency lights, computers still on, printer lights, etc. You have lights from the city that can act as motivation. I personally would have put more practicals in the scene and let that play over the moonlight. I probably would have kept the hacker in a silhouette/shadow until he turned the console on, or have most of the consoles on lower output while his was higher, but I enjoy watching other DPs work. Keep them coming!

To sell the scene of moon light, I would use 1/2 CTB gel and 1/2 CTG gel. It makes moon light look more of a steel colour. I think the cinematographer Seamus McGarvey uses this technique.

This video is great! My wife is a Home Stager - so I get access to a lot of free advice on set design materials, but never really considered it - now I will! That said, I'm a rank beginner - but learning - this video helped!

#1 Tip don't put nail holes in the walls to hang your pictures / set dressing or you may get a nice refurbishing bill at the end of the shoot day / night happens a lot

Introducing practical lightis are always helpful as part of the production design, as we can always use them to motivate our key, fill, back light or general ambiance. Therefore whenever I am lighting a dramatic scene I always consider using some practicals as part of my production design. It's always helpful and makes the entire shot more dimensional and has more depth to it.
