Dude, it’s videography, I think there is a difference between photography and cinematography. Plus, you don’t always rely on light meter but just goes immediately.

It’s for motion pictures, they can still use curve, right?

The first comment on every Fstoppers post is almost always someone being dismissively pedantic.

Block. Light. Rehearse. Tweak. Shoot. Repeat.

That’s exactly what I just did! One minute of reading just saved me 12 minutes of watching (minus the time it took to comment).

It’s funny how nowadays everyone checks the comments first to determine if it’s a waste of time to watch or not

What I believe Film Riot means by this ‘basic’ tutorial is showing you what ways you can use to get light in places you might not think possible. You can come up with your own look, he’s just showing you where you can place the lights.

Anyway, that’s what I think. Not all of his followers are professional or even amateur ‘filmmakers’ (cinematographers, directors, etc. etc.) so that’s why he keeps it basic while still giving enough information to be able to make a 10 minute video about it.

The only thing lighting MUST have is meaning.

Flat, undirected and uncontrolled light can all be acceptable, as long as there is a reason for it.
While the end product of their tutorial leaves much to be desired, It does assist in showing different ways to light any given scene. In fact, I could see many comedies being set in this lighting.

Wow. They went from bad under lighting to horrible direction-less over lighting.

As bad as the original under lighting was, I would believe that lighting set-up more than the almost flat over lighting they created. ( Bad Lighting —> Crap Lighting ) Yuk!

and Art Adams uses this approach a lot, there is no right or wrong in lighting provided you accomplish what you want
