It's so cool to see how experimenting with lighting techniques can change the mood of the look. Also it shows that there is no limit to lighting. Out of the 2 cove lights, I preferred the cove lighting pointing up as it's more dramatic. Thanks for sharing Matti

Love the direction you're taking your KZfaq channel. I felt like I watched a lot of your content a few years ago, then I started working on set in the industry and it wasn't as useful to me. Seeing your new adventure trying to get more into narrative cinematography has brought me right back

@pdawggity 9 ай бұрын

hey matti, this is one of the best videos you've made. because you are learning, we are learning. i know u been feeling discouraged with youtube lately and want to do more. but stuff like this is more. if you want to start a cinematic journey and are getting into more feature films and stuff like that, do it. just bring us around with you.

@Legendary_Tales 9 ай бұрын

Hey, Matti! About for "down" lighting onto the Muslin... Consider placing the muslin at 45° to the floor. Look closely at Deacon's photos with Judi dench. The muslin is angled 45°. If you did that, you could put the light stands behind your muslin and away from your talent. I really love that somebody respected and popular in the videography space on KZfaq is talking about advanced lighting techniques like this. BRAVO!🎉

@nicholasblauner7661 6 ай бұрын

so to go off the Judi Dench example, the lights are placed behind the muslin / diffusion material, and when shined through the frames, the light still has a nice soft upward bounce? I am curious if at higher intensities if the light will penetrate the diffusion and not angle up as much

Love this, 22 minutes feeling like 5 because of your excitement! It feels like the beginning days of camera youtube, where people just showed off what they learned today, instead of making perfectly scritped tutorials which feel like they were built for retention. Would love to see more of those vids just testing stuff out. Much love! :)

@robwattclips 7 ай бұрын

hey matti, looks decent, the angle of the muslin matters for the angle of bounced light, you can allow is to curve down onto the floor like an exponential curve for a better light wrap, or you can have muslin bounces on frames at 30to45degrees on c-stands creating the cove light wrap. Glad you're bringing this to your audience. excellent job

I found this video very helpful in showing me what the 2nd farther, more distant, light can do to create a more sculpted look. It's something I had in the back of my mind but never tried out when I actually set up interview lighting on location. So thanks for that. Particularly if you have a window in the background, as you have here, for motivation of that light.

@nathanksimpson 8 ай бұрын

13:50 that’s that sweet spot between clearly lit and motivated. 15:38 Looks more motivated by the window.

@WhySteve 9 ай бұрын

The "uplighting" thing is something I always think about when people say "never use a bounce card from the bottom but rather from the top to fill" but then I always think to myself, "but don't our shadows get filled from light bouncing from the ground though?"

@AManWhoWasntThere 8 ай бұрын

Good point. I think as long as it's just fill and less powerful than the key light it should look pretty natural, right? I remember in The Hateful 8 Tarantino & his DP did a lot of bounce light off table surfaces when characters sit down at the table and it looks great...

@WhySteve 8 ай бұрын

Exactly! I think the uplighting in The Hateful 8 also contributed to how conspicuous the characters are.

@directmeperry7575 9 ай бұрын

awesome vid brah!

@TheFilmGuyOfficial 8 ай бұрын

Hey matti, the reason why the uplighting works better in this situation is 1. because of the angle, it dosnt hit the background as much, do it provides more of a purposeful feeling edge on you. 2. the way the face is structured lighting from underneath creates more shadows and definition on the face in a micro scale, because their is more blocking the light from hitting everything, look at. your lips and the shadow formed on them, look at how your eyes still maintain good contrast. its all about depth.

videos that test things in real time are some my favorites. Thanks for sharing! Do you think there would be much a difference if the two softbox lighting was lowered and angled upwards? Similar to the first cove lighting setup? Maybe not practical due to the size of the softboxes...

That woulda been a great thing to try! Curious how it looks. But the cove definitely made things soooo much more natural looking.

Great example of how much value we get out of experimentation. A few things I thought about while watching this video: 1) “Uplight” is not the correct term in my opinion. If you were pointing the lights directly at you from that angle, it would be uplight. But since the light is bouncing and diffracting at many angles, you are really getting lit from all over (bottom and top), replicating the natural environment, but in a more controlled way. 2) I find that cove lighting is best for narrative work where talent may be moving around. It also helps control the fall off when you want to have very tight control of ratios. 3) With talking head/interviews, cove lighting requires too much flagging to control the environment for my taste. Thanks for sharing! Looked like a lot of fun.
