No, it's about cute girls in the thumbnail. That's it.

Crisp, to the point, no blabber. This is what new age content future looks like!

beautifully crafted video. Made your point in 2 Minutes where most need 10+. 🤲

i’m so astonished, i always knew the importance of lighting in filmmaking but seeing side by side like this is so shocking, the difference is HUGE, and that was different from other youtuber filmmakers yours really got that CINEMATIC spice!! im also completely in love with this channel jeez man your quality, both technical and of content, is absurd, all the lighting, depth of field, color grading, audio, the aesthetic, even the thumbnails photography, everything, i hope one day i'll get this level 😭

Man do i appreciate a concise video like this

Hey Max. Just watched couple of your videos. Great content and quality. Love the 2 minutes short form. And yes, the light is absolutely the key element in photo & video. It needs to be understood to be appreciated enough.

Automatic sub. Great info in such a short time. Keep up with this short but very good quality videos.

Instantly subbed! Getting straight to the point and showing insane results. Love it

We usually accept this advice after spending so much in cameras. Lighting is key

The final result is amazing and I love that the video goes to the point and delivers without any fillers.

ich habe jetzt alle deine Videos durchgeschaut 😂😅 feier dich sehr! Kurze Videos auf den Punkt - Mega 🎉

That's a really stunning result and the beauty of it is how simple and minimal you made it. I cannot stand overly complex lighting designs when 2-3 lights placed and modified correctly would do the trick. Well done!

The most sensible title for a cinematography related KZfaq video I've seen in a looooooong time. Well done Max.

Short and sweet which made me want to see more what you’ve got in store especially on lighting 👏🏾 great video man!

I think it would have been great to throw in an iPhone or older/lesser camera to showcase that the lighting still holds a great image with budget friendly gear. Great video!

Although this topic has been discussed extensively, I appreciate your straightforward and concise approach in your videos. I have subscribed.

Great videos !! Looking forward to following your channel . Would it be possible to have a video of you setting up such a lighting set

Simple and Great!

Love the efficiency of your style. Great work.

Awesome video! Lighting can make a cheap camera look expensive, but also an expensive camera look cheap

Great video Max. The side by side comparison is excellent. Nice work.

I love the video :] my favorites are guides/tutorials like these and you always do a great job!

Amazing video man! Keep making these, instantly subbed. This is very useful information and I want more :)

great video, instant sub! excited to see your channel grow

wooool from brazil! your content is amazing

Lighting is truely key, amazing bro

Quick, direct and very informative video. Thank you so much for this.

This was such a good video, love the texture of the light in this

Thank you for this. The one thing that wouldve made this even more helpful is knowing where you set the lights and how much power you gave to each light.

Woulda been nice to see where and how you had the lights set up for the look you got.

Uhhhh...you're doing KZfaq ALL WRONG. Where is the coffee-making b-roll... where is the shot of you walking into the studio... where is the absurd 4 minute intro about why you're making this video. Kidding of course - thanks for such a concise clear video - pure gold - keep up the good work!

With a fx6 makes it better though

People are more obsessed with camera and lens. I see many friends around me upgrade new cameras and lens. not so much on other gears.

instant subscribe

This has made me realise that I really need to look into lighting.. The before and after comparison is on another plane

My 10 year old canon T5i with 1080p 30 video recording capability at 4:2:0 8 bit h.264 with 11.7 stops of dynamic range (probably closer to 9 or 10 in practice) begs to differ lol. Of course lighting is more important but there has to be a minimum performance threshold that your camera must reach first. I definitely need a better camera.

I love what you are doing mate am from kenya and into film unprofessional and i want to transition can you be my mentor 🙏

I think this is a good start, but the lighting is a tad bit sourcey to me and looks more KZfaq style rather than filmic

Thanks, I just subscribed. Good clear concise content and no BS or filling. Control of light is clearly at the heart of improving your visuals. Subject, set, framing or composition are important too. Perhaps, like a chain, the end is only as good as the weakest link. Story, sound, appropriate movement (subject and camera) and tight editing as well. There is much to learn and hard for anyone to be good at all/most disciplines - perhaps why the best work is usually a collaborative team game.

Was the shot inverted for the test? Or did you move the chair to a different area of the room that's not being shown here.

1:43 what jib?

What focal lengths did you use?

It will look more cinematic if you put the light in the left side of the person

0:15 so wahr :D !

den kenne ich doch!

“Even with good lighting, you can shoot with an iPhone & get a good image”. Bro how come you didn’t shoot a scene with an iPhone then 💀 Still good advice though lmao

There is barely any info. No focal length. I decided to look at other of your videos and saw the same thing. Explaining how you make your b-roll, but say nothing about the most important b-roll element - the movement. Did you use crane, gimbal, slider, 4 axis pan head and so on. If you wanna gain traction, you must go deeper bro :)
