Ambient light generally refers to any uncontrolled light that already exists within a scene. This could be daylight from the sky, or a simple street light. We can add to, or take from this light, to gain full control over the mood and feeling of our image. But we can also recreate the feeling of this uncontrollable fill light from scratch, using lighting.

my friend, this was amazing. i am considering buying your course on Moment. I think my only struggle right now is... I would love to see you light a scene/interview to the best of your ability with only $300-$500 of lighting gear. Because that is about the price of the lighting gear I own, and probably a ton of us other low/medium level filmmakers. One day I hope to own several of those big expensive lights, but I want to know how to best use my 3 lights I currently own... it would be so cool to see you light a scene with 2-3 budget friendly lights

If you don't have the budget to entirely recreate natural light, then using actual natural light and shaping it with negative fill + flags is going to be your best bet, this would also apply to a moving shot!

It's not out of the question to create setups like this with less power, if you have a camera that can shoot a clean image at a higher ISO - and lots of cameras do these days! Best way to find out is to try - that way you'll discover what the strengths/weaknesses of lower powered lights are and you'll know what you can or can't do!

The smaller fold-out one is the cheaper Calumet Light Control Panel Frame 105cm x 105cm (there's a DIY element to this also which I went over on Patreon) and the bigger frame is a 6' x 6' Matthews Butterfly/Overhead snap-apart. It's a bit of a pain to put together, the fold out one is on my list!

How much of that bounced fill to lift the shadows could have been achieved by lifting the shadows in post? It essentially would do something very similar no? Also if you dont mind me asking, what color temp did you set the majority of lights to? Love your videos!

When you think about what's happening with all the bounced light - the directions it's coming from, the way it's realistically interacting with the room - lifting the shadows in post without all of that, is just going to be lifting the lack of all that information. If we didn't recreate the sky and just lifted the shadows in post instead, we're not adding fill realistically from the sky, but just lifting whatever is already in the room. I think all the warmer lights were set to about 5300k-5400k and the cooler light was at 8000k. I had the camera at 5600 for a tiny bit of warmth! Thank you so much!

I don't tend to worry about that stuff - I'm trying my best to grow without sacrificing the quality of my videos, which actually means I'm often shooting myself in the foot in terms of money! But I'd rather do that than lose control over my creative process!

It's a cheap Calumet one - www.wexphotovideo.com/calumet-42x42-aluminium-frame-only-1646661/?gad_source=1 - it's 3.5' x 3.5' really, just referred to as 4 x 4 in the video as it's a more commonly sized flag! There's a section about this on the extended Patreon video - but essentially we were shooting around a very windy period, so using a flag supported by one stand would have been a bit dodgy, so I hunted down the small frame so we could secure it a bit better on two sides. I also cut a piece of bleached muslin and velcro'd it on top of the material it came with, as it wasn't very good material! (On closer look, seems like they don't have it in stock right now)!

@@RobEllisCinematographer thanks for your reply! Looks like a good basic system. This is aluminum, but I might try to make a PVC pipe frame. Less convenient but would be something you could throw around and not worry too much about

Brand new course! It covers a few things in the previous course a little more clearly, but expands on working with, motivating and recreating daylight entirely!

Great work! The shadow that the window casts on the window's edge is a little bit too harsh. To feel 100% realistic, it could be a little bit softer.

Thank you so much! I would say it's a little too short, considering the angle of the light and the size of the light source (it's pretty close to the window)!

It's always better to recreate a daylight interior at night than try and create a night interior during the day! You see a lot of day for night tutorials referring to exteriors.

It's actually a cheaper one I found in the UK, the Calumet "Light Control Panel System" 105cm x 105cm - which is closer to 3.5' x 3.5', but since 4' is more of a standardised size I referred to it that way!

I would argue that direct sun through such a small window wouldn't have too much influence from the cooler sky - but other windows in the location would, which we cover at 4:57 ! (I've also covered this topic previously - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbCGhZh8zbOUhqs.html - with a much jankier setup!) The new Moment course also goes over it in depth. It will also feature prominently when we get to letter C! :D
