10 Tips for Shooting in LOW LIGHT! 

1. Use at least 1 light source. LOW light, not NO light... 2. Use backlight, edgelight, sillhouettes 3. Properly expose your subject's midtones 4. Use a wide aperture

"Allow your shadows to be shadows.." YES YES and YES!!! Great video Landon!

Thank you Landon and the rest of the full time filmmaker team for making this video. I have been commenting for months for a video like this and I'm even taking a class that broadly covers this. You are the best Landon for getting back to comments on the RU-vid community!

A) Use a camera with a bigger sensor B) Use a lens with a wider aperture C) Use a lower resolution camera for larger pixels

So much good info packed in one video. Fulltime filmmaker is the place to be.

Hi, guys! I just want to say "Thank you!". Not only for this particular video, but for the whole content of yours, that you've dedicated all this time to present. You are absolutely amazing for the creators out there like me, who are far away from being absolute professionals. You've helped me a lot and actually saved me plenty of unnecessary expenses that I was going to have, if I've never trusted your judgement first. So, again, I've just wanted to say "Thank you!" to all of your team for the endless knowledge you gave us and you keep on giving! You're an absolute guideline and a truthful beacon for the creators globally, doesn't matter the part of the planet they are coming from!

Ever since I love all Parker's videos, I can't wait to join the course and learned from the professionals

Tip #1 for low lighting 'Pay your electricity bill on time'

Great tips! Love how you made the effort to do both AB-rolls from the same scene, adds a nice presence for the viewer to feel part of it.

Reading the title in a different way will leave you with a meaning of how to assassinate lol.

Thanks guys, I love your content! It actually helped as a ton for improving our low light music videos :D Keep it up! All the best for you and your team!!

Man you've done a couple of truly fantastic videos that I've needed and this is certainly one of them.. Thank you so much for this.. You've put so much effort into it..

Brilliant tips and very well explained thank you very much.

Incredible I just watched this video as I have always been interested in filming but never really motivated myself to try various filming out of my comfort zone until recently. I had to subscribe to you after watching this it helped me alot.

concise to the point and answered my question, respect boys ✌️

Thanks man. This is so helpful.

My whole setup was built around low light filming, so I'm glad you recommended the 1.4 Sigma primes, as my 24, 50, and 85 are all Sigma 1.4 primes for my A7III. lol

Very informative and even more aesthetically appealing :)

that was really awesome!!!

You nailed it like always 👌🏽

Thanks for this piece needed it..

Very helpful guys!

i'm a beginner and i didn't realise frame rate affected the light! thanks for this

Great video 👍🏻 I tried last weekend some night shoots with my FX6 and it was really funny 😄

This is so informative! Thank you.

Fantastic, great guys!

Nice... soon I'll have my hands on a a6600. Definitely I will try some of these tips!

Thanks for the info. Great for our short horror film this year!

What a nice tips ...thank u man 👌

I was looking for this video 👏👏👏

I love parker videos 💕

Solid video, thanks!

You forgot to mention to use your damn waveform monitor, histogram, light meter or better yet a combination of all 3. The 1st two are usually built into the cameras menu. Also doing a black balance (depending on camera’s functionality) make a world of a difference. Also invest in a color checker card for accurate color, whites and blacks. And last tip. Do camera tests Before production to find out your camera’s limitations in low light and just stay within those parameters, adding light when necessary. Damn, I feel like a FullTime Filmmaker instructor, giving all this knowledge for free 😝

Thank you for this informative video it helps a lot .

Thank you so much. Just bought my new M50 this month (my first camera) was definitely facing problems in low light. Thanks for the tips..🙂

Finally someone that understands that fuzzy low light thing

Super easy and useful tips!

For the in camera noise reduction, do you kind of consider this an all or nothing situation and either don't use it at all, then have it on high for low light? Does having this on all the time effect low iso video? Will you set it to low or medium for middle range iso like 800-1600? This is a setting I think I turned off when I first got my 80d but will definitely be doing some of my own tests to see what works best for me now too! One other thing I do is will leave a frame rate at 60 but then also drop the shutter speed down to 60, I know this breaks the 180 rule but for little motion footage the extra blur isn't always noticeable, also if I decide only to slow this to 80% on a 24fps timeline then it visually appears like 30fps 60shutter anyway, giving a little more flexibility to decide at point of edit. Thanks FTF team, massive fan here.

Great yoir idea Parker.... thanks a lot Mate

There are content that looks simple but creates excellent detail in the shot. Good luck with your effort

Great tips! I’ve been filming in a log profile on my BMPCC6K for everything so I’ll have to start shooting in a regular profile for low light stuff.

That music 🎷 ❤

Very nice! Great job Thank you

Wow thanks, I just got the cannon EOS 5D Mark IV , this video really helps

This video is AWESOME

I had to learn this for my RU-vid channel. But now I know how to do it with clients too! Lighting videos from your channel have been the most important in my growth on youtube and my film career ❤❤❤

When I saw that lighter flick synced perfect with the music I already knew I had to subscribe

Thanks this is gonna help a lot

Amazing tips bro

Amazing video so very helpful

Cool tips ! Thanks !

Thanks for the tips

Awesome content dude

Amazing video and great tips, thanks!!

Great content.

Great job!!

Impressive, in 8 minutes you gave me enough to chew on for months. Thank you.

one quick question: is there any particular reason why the video is at 1080 and not 4k? having good-expensive equipment I would go 4k all the time...or maybe not?

Good to know I'm in good company liking to shoot everything at 60fps! 😂

Awesome tips! Thanks for the video guys! Appreciate your work! Even filming inside with artificial lighting is hard, cuz the image is either too dark or has a lot of grain with higher ISO. But these tips are great!

Great tips!

Landon and his tips are always 🔥🔥🔥. Still waiting for that studio tour Landon!

Look's like Very Cool cinematic!

Damn, that was super insightful!

Awesome tips sir thank u 🙏
