I love how obviously it’s ripping off Patrick but I sure could use the additional breakdown content. Sub’d.

Appreciate you guys! And also love Patrick’s work-amazing stuff. I’ve been doing breakdowns like this since 2016, even though I just recently started creating more content on KZfaq. Just making my contribution to the industry. Hope it’s helpful!

I really like the way you explain the light

Loved the insight on using reverse key lighting to enhance depth and texture in scenes! It really brings the workshop setting to life, showing just how important lighting is in cinematography. Brilliant breakdown!

thanks so much. I have a night shoot on New Year's eve and definitely benefitted from these concepts.

Awesome work man. Just subbed 🤘🏽

This is the kind of work that I want to do. Do you plan out these shots and create the story boards, or does the client think it up and you just do the cinematography? I'd like to know a bit more about the creation process. :)

Great breakdown, thanks! In the first scene, what color temp were your lights? Did you gel your 120 and 300ds?

Hey! How do you draw over your screen like that? i noticed you bring up the 'Brush' tool, I cant figure out how to do it. Thanks!

are you saying there are no noise in the dark sides of the footage?

@joshdiditt 2 жыл бұрын

I have a question. I asked The Wandering DP host and he said Hollywood DP's always shoot in LOG , even in low light situations. I have a Panasonic S5, how would I expose in LOG in a low light, very dark night scene? I have heard you should properly expose, then I heard you should overexpose by +1or +2. But you can't overexpose a night scene. So how do we expose properly for the scene in LOG without getting noisy footage and what is the best metering tool to use because I find histograms useless when judging exposure at night

@EricThayne 2 жыл бұрын

The most important thing when shooting in log is to monitor with a LUT so you know what you’re actually getting. My methodology is to just expose the scene the way you want it to look when it’s done.

What focal length you used for the second setup?

35mm

I disagree with this approach. I’m a commercial DP and imo it’s better to give more latitude (ETTR) and let them pull it down in post. this way you retain detail in the shadows and it doesn’t all immediately get crushed the moment you add contrast.
