A Simple Guide to Cinematic Lighting 

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'd rather watch a 1 minute reel with good lighting than a 10 second reel with bland lighting.

I appreciate that!

I appreciate that!

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! Cheers!

May I ask how you’re grading zlog, looks awesome - I’m using DaVinci w some experimenting and a handy zlog to Alexa lut I found but still not loving it

Thank you 🙏 С Новым Годом!

Hi! First of all I'm glad you're exercising in your down time. So many people just binge watch these things and don't practice. As to your question: yes it is film grain and it is indeed very different from digital noise due to it's structure. You can research the difference on youtube. But you can also try adding film grain in DaVinci Resolve and if you zoom into it, you will notice that it's typically a lot less blocky and less saturated than digital noise.

Nur, thank you for replying to my comment. It does mean a lot to me. For some I didn't mention above that I'm using FinalCut and RotoAI is plugin for MotionVFX. I'm planning to move to Davinci by the end of this year as it has more color grading capabilities compared to FinalCut and overall is better editing app. Speaking of film grain, in FinalCut we have only 2 options IMovie/Realistic grain. IMovie grain destroys colors of an image and realistic is great, but no way near as what DaVinci offers. I tried to eyeball what grain you were using at 4:30, for me it looks like 35mm at opacity 0.7-0.9, sorry if I'm wrong. I have 0 experience in DaVinci and it's hard to guess when looking at compressed youtube video. I also would like to thank you for sharing your experience with us and showing me reality and examples how to start. I'm currently building a portfolio for my "filmmaking" career. Offering to shoot a video for people or businesses at a low cost or for free and showing them what I already have done and what can be achieved. You helped me a lot,maybe I don't know you personally, but every time I watch your videos it feels like you are my good old friend, maybe because both of us are from CIS "СНГ" countries . I will Keep watching and supporting your channel as much as I can. Thank you for prioritizing ideology/vision over the money. Sincerely Yuri.

My pleasure!

:D It’s intentional and it’s called film grain, not noise :)

Why?

Thanks for pointing out 🙏 haven’t thought of that.

“Z-Camera App”. It’s proprietary to zcam

@@nur-niaz ah I see.. Okay 🙈thank you and keep the nice work up 💯

Yes I am!

Yes! Still is a very capable little camera!

@@nur-niaz Would love to see your colour workflow with Z-log on Davinci. Love the colour in your videos!!

Hey! it's the ikea nissafors

Z-Cam E2S6 + SLR Magic Microprimes

@@nur-niaz how is z-cam’s image quality compared to sony/lumix? And is z-cam easy for beginners

Depends on what model sony / lumix. I used to have a gh5s , a6300, a7s2 way back in a day. I like that Z-cam's ProRes is super easy to work with. And the form factor is a box basically. It's nice rigging it up or down depending on the needs. The interchangable lens mount lets me use it as EF/MFT/PL which is also handy. The image quality is not as good as something you get in a Komodo, but imo better than most Blackmagic cameras@@raman139

@@nur-niaz fair enough! Thanks bro for replying and I want to let you know the power of sharing knowledge, in your video regarding your career you mentioned a lot of stuff about faking director and I found some stuff so relatable, everything made sense to me. I shoot music videos and act myself too, your videos are a great learning curve for me. Love from canada ❤️ bro
