Passively accepting a problem or actively looking for a solution. Hit the nail on the head there. Fantastic point.

"filmmaker never have enough time, never have enough money, and rarely have enough light"

It still amazes me how you consistently make me think differently about filmmaking every time I watch one of your videos. You have a great way with words and wisdom beyond your years in this profession.

I love how you're really in touch with how a lot of us; the low budget filmmakers, can't afford super expensive equipment :) You're so helpful and creative. Thank you

Your videos are always straightforward and well done. -Joe

Brilliant tutorial with the best conclusion there is! Film makers never have money and this is why they get creative and this is when a masterpiece is born

How to shoot in low-light: Use lights.

You're the man. Your channel is gold 🔥🔥

this Chap is a genius up and coming. been binge watching you !

just got into your videos and I have to say, I really appreciate all of your tips

I like how this video goes deeper than what the title suggests. Extremely clear examples, perfect pacing and a certain consistency that makes this fit in well with the rest of the channel. Great job!

I've seen some ''ISO'' and 'low light filming' vids over the years, but all they seem to do is just further confuse the already confused people. :D You just explained it (crystal clear) in the first couple of minutes of this video. Well done! Oh, and ''passively accepting the problem vs actively looking for a solution?'' Wise words! :-)

"we might as well learn to work with what we have" #Turth!

I love your last point. If it's that dark, analyze whether or not it really has to be shot there or if you can rewrite the script or just change your vision. You moved locations in another scene because the sun kept going in and out, but the new location had no effect on the story. great video Simon!

Thank you for this, Simon. I'm looking for a new camera and often get caught up in what my camera can't do, but that's where I come in. Camera's are tools. Every single one is different from the other and does different things. Thank you for reminding me that it's more about the effort I put into the scene, not the camera's weak spots.

'Are we passively accepting the problem or are we actively looking for a solution'. Absolutely spot on. Your videos are absolute gold. Keep doing what you do, mate. You are damn great! 👍

Simon, Watching your videos calms me down. You're a fantastic filmmaker and you're very modest, which is why I rate you above other people who reckon their movies are a new form of art. You rock.

i'm so glad i subscribed to you. keep up the good work.

You’ve literally explained ISO better than anyone in the 45+ KZfaq videos I’ve binged and better than my actual film professor. I think you’re my new favorite person.

Two years ago, I started in film study. I started with your channel and still come here for information. Thank you bro, I really appreciate your work

Hi Sam, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your channel and your cleverness in all of your videos. It honestly sucks that I just found your channel yesterday, because a lot of your videos would have prevented me from making mistakes from my first two short films. I've been binge watching your whole channel for the past two days, you've been opening my eyes and answering questions that I really didn't know had an answer to. I'm just 14, so I have a long, long way to go in this heck of a learning process but I just wanted to let you know that finding this channel was a huge step for me, and I appreciate it!

Fantastic tutorial. No nonsense. Honest and practical. Thank you.

Hey Simon, I've been watching your videos for some time now and I'd like to thank you for all the things you've taught me so far and all the inspiration that you bring me. I've never even shot a video before, as I am focusing on producing music videos for my band, but I wanna make sure that if I reach any good results, you're one of the people I owe for that. Thank you.

Love these videos. Informative and fun to watch. Best DSLR videos I have found PERIOD...

Good solution to any perceived problem - actually look for solutions instead of complaining about the problem so much.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY THAT APPLE IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW!!

I'm starting to make videos for the family business and your content has taught me some solid foundations in filmmaking, even applicable to product photography, thank you very much and I wish you the best in your career!!

"are we passively accepting the problem, or actively looking for a solution..." Great words and a great video. Thank you for sharing👍🏽

Simon you are such a rebel the tone of this tutorial I'm getting is "fuck you high end snobby, swear you know it all fill makers.... I can do it like you and better to the x100th" lol Thank you for this one sir long live king Cade!!!

How to Shoot in Low Light: "just don't"

I recently came across your channel. I've always had an interest in film, but it kind of died out about 2 or 3 months ago because I just didn't know what to do anymore, but your channel has really ignited my love for film again. Amazing tutorials, keep up the great work sir!

Awesome video! Literally the only person who shows adding your own lighting to a low iso setting

You're so wise, I am curious how old you are? I really enjoy your videos man. I have just bought the Rebel T5i and i love it. You inspire me to use what i already have rather than buy everything, like you said if i think i need new things to make films/shoot videos then basically I'm telling myself that I have really no part in the film process and that the technology is whats holding me back. Thanks for that.

Simon, this is awesome and so helpful. You are truly an inspiration. #SimonIsABoss

This (almost) 5 minute video is better than hours and hours of any other videos I've seen on the topic. Thank you!

Absolutely love this channel, you're amazing Simon!

Cheers for the tips. Though, Did you just wait with that apple in your hand for the whole recording? LOL

And what is the best way to light a dark forest? :/

So well explained, definitely one of the best channels I've found for explaining photography. Quality content. 👌🏼

So good! I actually just got done filming my first video using my 3 point florescent lighting kit and your videos really taught me a lot on it. Thanks!

it feels like youre eating same apple trough videos :D

How do you set up the lights outdoors, when there's no place to plug them in?

The ending statements are so good. As filmmakers we are fighting entropy! I suppose to continue with that analogy, we should focus on the strategy, not the weaponry. Simon, you are a GOAT, glad the channel is still around nearly a decade later to still provide that wisdom. Problem solving instead of being a problem seeker, is such a simple but powerful sentiment.

Great as always, mate! your insights are always fresh and genuine.

You are SO cool!

did you ever spray down the streets with a hose to reflect the light you had with water?

You always inspire me. Excellent channel. I've don't know if any channel that has tonight me so much about the 'art' if film making as opposed to the 'act' of it.

I like your KZfaq channel bro. Been viewing and learning from it for the last 3 months. Keep it up. Keep on loading more good content.🤙🏾

Tip 1. Add Light

Where did you get the money to buy your first camera?

Great tips! Thank you very much. All of your videos that I have watched so far, are very thought through and super helpful. Thanks again!

This was a super helpful video! I have been struggling with low light scenes for years, so I'm really looking forward to trying these tips out!

How do you bypass the 12 min record time on your t3i?

How to shoot in low light: Get a Sony a7s. :D

Your videos are so refreshing! Most of the photography videos only talk about the gear, fast lenses and DxOmark sharpness ratings. We have reduced photography to the cost and quality of our equipment. You my friend are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

your creative thoughts were helping me a lot with your detailed explanations upon cinematography ... thanks dude, you got some great skills

"How to film in low light"S Solution? Get more light.

"Are we passively accepting the problem, or are we actively looking for a solution?" -Simon Cade, Philosopher (who also films stuff) I came here to learn about lighting; I'm leaving with some solid af life advice. This is why I watch all your videos multiple times. They're deep without being pretentious. I continue to get more and more out of them each time.

dude I seriously love your channel.

I love and really appreciate your videos. Thanks for teaching me so much.

I love the way that you always focus on the low buged filmakers thak you very much for the tips !

Thank you Simon for another great tutorial! I've been loving all your vids for awhile now

I really like your channel. You've inspired me to actually get up and actively learn about filmmaking. Thank you.!

Bro it cannot get simple and better than this ..u nailed it ..awesome . .

As always a great video Simon .looking forward to the next one

you are awesome, thank you. Love how your voice is mixed with the background music, they are both so clear.

The first and maybe only time i ever comment a Video. But your sir are a genius. I am not a filmmaker but a photographer and i can adapt so many of your techniques to my stills. Especially Colour gradings, since that has always been a bit of a bummer for me. Your tips really stepped up my Images. Greets from Germany and have a good life. *subbed

Glad to see you still eating the Apple, been watching this channel for a couple years now and now have started my own channel so thanks for all the sound tips.

Good tips man. Having a lil refresh this afternoon

Great work like always man. Great tutorial.

The tutorial was just explained the way I want it and exactly what I've been struggling with over the years Thanks for this

I absolutely love your videos. What you do with such low end gear is incredible :)

I dont know how many times I have said this to you but you really are awesome. Listening to you tell it It seems so obvious. Makes me wonder why I can't figure this out when it really is that simple. My brother Thank you. For this. Information is real on this channel.

You are amazing man, thanks for all the time you put into your videos! :)

one of the most valuable video in youtube: I keep coming back just to remember how a kid made it simple for me one day !

Just put this tutorial to use and I couldn't be happier with the results. Insanely helpful video!

thanks for your work here simon, i learned a lot with you!

great video and tips- thanks for all the info

what I really like about you is, next to many other things, that you are a very calmly speaking person. you seem to be personally rooted quite well. regards from Germany :)

I've been looking for the night tips all over the youtube.. And when I gave up, this popped up accidentally. Thank you very much! Had no idea how to light a night scene. Subscribing.

Creativity to its finest! That's what is called think outside the box! Applying this, Thanks!

You put so much hard work into your videos and I really appreciate it

The last line is hitting hard lol. Thanks for sharing your vision on the subject ! Think different, out of the box !

Really impressed with your advice in all areas of DSLR film making, I've learned alot in a short period of time, much respect :)

That apple!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Simon!

Great work as always mate!

Right on SPOT! Thanks for all the tips.

Simon, these are great. I've only just started to film and these videos are great!

Really good tips and ending... so much truth in this.

This came exactly when I needed it! Thank you Simon 🙏🏻

just watched this video. i love the way you explain, its direct to the point. thank you!!

your Content becomes better and better every year. thanks for the great videos!

Thanks soooo much for this!! I JUST bought a camera and was already stressing about saving up for a new lens so I could shoot/film in low light/at night. So until I can afford one, I’m gonna do what you suggested and look for ways to help it turn out better without bumping up the ISO. ☺️

Love the motivational speech in the end. Best video in the topic ever. 😁

Great work, as usual. Thanks.

Very informative. I love your channel. It's the best instructional channel there is for no to low budget filmmaking.

Wow I'm impressed, really really love the way you presented this tutorial, big fan of yours

Mind blowing reflexions as always !

I like to shoot in late afternoon and then use effects to make it look like night. it really works well unless you're doing crazy sky shots or need that exact motion. great vid as always. thanks!
