Filmmaking Deep Dive: Lighting 101

Jono may or may not have been forced to learn how we light the show, but sometimes you gotta put "the talent" to work. In this deep dive, we learn the name and purpose of each light that is used to make Cinema Therapy look cinematic. So, what did we learn today, kids? Jono is mechanically challenged, Alan needs a heat lamp, and ignorance can be solved!

"Ignorance can be solved." I would wear a shirt saying that from you guys, just saying lol.

I learned things today! Don’t ask me to remember it, though. 😭

"I BIG BRAIN" This was too adorable. I can't stop grinning. My face hurts! Jono = Me when my bf talks his IT professional tech jargon, and Alan = picture of patience.

So what your saying is, I can call you up Alan, and have you set up my lighting for my photography studio, so it actually looks good, and I don’t have to just pretend I know what I’m doing with two annoying, large cheap ass lights and two less annoying small cheap ass LED panel lights from Amazon. Oh wait…you didn’t say that…dang it.

Responding to the first question: No, we don't actually have to change the lighting setup. We turn up the fill light ever so slightly to make it a bit less dramatic. We do change the lenses and positions of the 2 side cameras though. Go from 55mm lenses to 35mm lenses and walk the cameras in a bit.-Alan

OOh, this is a great idea for a future deep dive.

Oh! Also…can you make a video on c stands, grip arms, etc? I have a c stand I just set up so I can do overhead shots BUT the mount on the arm is too big for my clog camera. Guessing I need to measure or research bc I think it’s a standard 5/8”

Ok Alan, I wanna know: does the setup change when you have the rare third guest? Presumably you’d have a backlight aimed at the crown of the middle person…?

That thumbnail reminds me of Titanic. How sweet. :)

AZEEEZ!!! LIGHTS!!!

I'm glad it's not just me! For some reason, photo/video lighting is one of my ND special interests. There need to me more informational videos in the world with the vibe this one has. :)

Oh I love you two goofballs, Jono is like me when my boyfriend talks computer. This was so much fun, thank you for this little extra insight and for the bromance vibes #Jolan Videos like this or the bloopers video are one of the reasons why I love to be a Patreon.

My geeky little heart loves this stuff.

LB Clark

Ah! This is great. This is the kind of stuff I’ve always wanted to know.
