Hello, guys


I'm excited to share with you my new and free guide on working with frame exposure and character skin.

It used to be a challenge for me to make exposure perfect for my tasks, whether I'm setting up lights for an interview or for dialogue for a movie scene. Now I'm ready to share a very simple and awesome way to master in-frame exposure once and for all.

The current lighting market is experiencing an unprecedented surge in offerings, presenting consumers with an extensive array of lighting sources to choose from. Seven years ago, obtaining sufficient lighting was an expensive task, often requiring the rental of hefty 1200W or 2500W/4000W (or higher) HMI metal halide sources, typically accompanied by noisy and unwieldy generators. The prospect of purchasing such equipment was daunting, with high price, such as the eye-watering $10,000 and beyond for the ARRI 2.5KW model.

At present, we find ourselves in a vastly transformed landscape where powerful lighting solutions have become remarkably affordable, courtesy of brands like Nanlite, Aperture, and Godox.

With this backdrop, I am eager to share my insights in this article. I aim to explore the considerations surrounding which light sources to invest in, ensuring that you acquire a versatile and indispensable tool to support your filmmaking endeavors for the next 3 to 5 years. Moreover, we will delve into the essential question of determining the ideal power output for your lighting source and discuss strategies for expeditiously recouping your investment in these sources.

I've crafted an informative and invaluable article just for you, featuring a curated list of must-have equipment for your projects, whether you're looking to buy or rent.

Hey, I just wanted to share my little secret with you.

When it comes to filming, speed and quality are often key factors. Finding the right balance between efficiency and capturing beautiful shots can be challenging. In my early years, I used to believe that shooting as many scenes as possible would provide ample material for editing. However, I soon realized that more than 50% of these shots ended up looking cheap and chaotic. Out of 25 planned fancy shots, only a handful truly stood out.


Reflecting on the problems I encountered on the projects, I identified the following issues:

- Shooting excessive and unnecessary shots beyond the planned schedule.
- Failing to achieve the desired lighting, composition, and camera movement.
- Feeling uncertain due to time and budget constraints.
- Over ambition in trying to capture overly attractive shots within limited timeframes.
 

To overcome these challenges and achieve the desired results, I adopted a new approach that revolutionized my filming process. Here are a few key lessons I learned along the way:

- Quality over quantity: Instead of aiming for a large number of shots, I now focus on capturing around 15 well-crafted shots, including close-ups and mid-shots, especially when working with a single camera.
- Prioritize. Rather than trying to make every scene visually stunning, I carefully select which aspects to prioritize during pre-production, acknowledging that some elements may need to be sacrificed.
- Leveraging a familiar team: Working with a consistent team instills confidence, as I know their capabilities and working style. When possible, I delegate complex tasks to trusted team members.
- Thorough preparation: I arrive at the set with a comprehensive plan in mind, ensuring that both myself and my team are aligned on the objectives and vision for each shot.
