Blaine Westropp | "Cinematic Lighting" is easy... @BlaineWestropp1 | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 38 minutes ago.
lot of people talking about and thinking about cinematic lighting. in my years of doing this I have found that having some go to approaches can help tremendously when designing a lighting plan for a commercial, movie, short film, or whatever you want to make. movie lighting at a large scale is very precise, involves a lot of planning and people, and can be complex, or extremely simple. having a variety of starting points for different scenarios is important. tweak as needed, and be able to communicate what you want when working with a larger team at a higher level. or.. if you are just trying to get the best lighting for a YouTube video, zoom call, or anything else.. consider living by a few fundamentals. practicing helps. what I show in this video is very basic and not finished and pretty much would not hold up at a professional level, but it is a fundamental idea of how to begin thinking about dealing with lighting a scene for real. when I light myself talking for my YouTube videos, I keep it extremely simple and as fast as possible, but it does stick in my mind and inform me and give me more insight to what I would do for similar scenes at a higher level. a randomly placed tube light for a YouTube video may help you consider how to precisely place and modify it for a big movie.
