You can play around with things, only if you know what you’re doing🙌🏾

What do you use to mount the ultrabounce?

Thank you

Look at you now, 27k!

Where is the link to discord? can't find it in the description

Your videos make me want to do two things. 1) Light my images better. 2) More bicep curls.

This is why they call it movie magic

Very encouraging. Thanks for your wisdom and experience Gian.

Just discovered your channel and this was a great video for an amateur like myself that's never going pro but wants to get better nonetheless. Please make more tutorials like this about everything from lighting to camera work, to set setup. I've watched several of your videos by now and it is evident you know your stuff. Subscribed.

Did you notice the backlit setup was rather washed out. Looks like you caught some flare on the lens. Would have loved to see that shot with all the contrast it would have had if you stopped that bloom/flaring/misting on the lens with a cutter or some gaffer tape on the front of the lens. Hope that makes sense! Love your videos man! Thanks for the effort that you put into them!🤘🏻

very helpful stuff man, you're channel is going to go 📈 Keep it up :)

This helped me a bunch thanks love the work and content

That did look nice! good job!

amazing video bro

I subscribed because this is a powerful contents. I love your videos!

Thank you. Finaly you've got low positioned key light and unnatural side shadows on her face.

With the Matthews right angle corner parts - I see there's only one knob to tighten but my thought would be that both tube sections would need to be tight.. Does that mean that on each corner only one of the pipe sections is fastened?
Thankyou for your great work!

Hey man! Wanted to fill in on something i noticed.
On the backlit shot, you can clearly see that the sun is hitting the lens a lot and making the shot look super flat, a mattebox with the flap tilted down would’ve solved that issue.
Also worst case if you don’t have a mattebox, you can alway use a book or something else just holding it over the lens covering the sun from hitting the it!

Cheers 🍻

Thank you for sharing this!

Dude, these videos are done so well. I am going to be sending these to my team to educate and refresh them every so often.

Awesome!!!

Solid and beautiful setup!

interesting to know what did you learn about light that can improve other skillls and what you wasent entirly sure you understand and know and you confirm when you shoot the feature film about light composition and storytelling while shooting the film

Killed this video tutorial 🙌🏽🤘🏽

Seriously - you have no idea how long I've been looking for someone to mention the tool that holds a scrim like yours! AN ELEPHANT EAR! Thank you so much! Great video!

Dude great tutorial!! Can’t wait to get out and try this. Gotta build out my diffusion first though haha! Also, love the podcast I listen to it on my way to shoots and it gave me great on-set tips!

Great stuff Carlo !
I might also add a bit of black fabric in front of the bounce, to add a gradient / have a body darker than the face. For moodier tones have a Floppy on top of her and closer.

Still loving your URSA after that big A$$ Venice ;) ?

More lighting videos, please! Recently landed on your channel and I've loved everything you've posted so far. Keep up the amazing work.

Love the vid! You are incredibly authentic in front of the camera.

Badass video buddy, thank you.! Cheers from Venezuela. 🤓👍🏻

Love this kind of videos, man! 💪

Awesome tips will for sure try to practice this.

Mans been dropping content like crazy

🦟 Another 🦗Carlo 😩🤝😳Banger 😈🥵🍤. Also, really been enjoying the podcast

Great content. Many people including me, mostly being a one man band, can relate to this video. Awesome job!

Hello Carlo and friend ( :

Man this video is so good, I’d love to see more content like this on your channel !
I’d love to here more tips from you on how to light in a budget, or tight schedule …
It can be frustrating to watch videos with expensive gear, so thank you for reminding us that we can do great work with affordable tools ! It’s super encouraging and inspiring ! That would be such a great series 🙏🏼

Good stuff man. Always got the information we need

Thank you

Instead of the nanlite 720, you could have used 1 or 2 plastic mirrors and reflect sunlight, they are cheap and you get the light for free

I mean, this still isn't that attainable.. I'm currently living paycheck to paycheck because of cost of living so I can't just go buy all the stuff like C-Stands, Diffusion, stuff from home depot etc and also my house is tiny with 6 people currently living in it, I barely have room for my personal stuff let alone massive grip equipment, even my car is already filled with light stands and tripods as there's no room for them in my house.. The last one was the only true attainable one but it was rubbish because it just pointed out the obvious of "diffuse the sun with a 5 in 1".. You're acting like all this stuff you have here is like the "bare minimum", true bare minimum is just a camera and a mic, I'm not trying to be a dick but you're coming across as really out of touch when you're saying that all of this "should be attainable for most people"

Absolutely like it
