Gaffer & Gear 52 - Skin Care Commercial 

Great breakdown with fantastic detail of very fine looking footage! You are a credit to your profession. Thank you for taking the time to share. When I hear the murmurings of "you're giving away all the secrets" I think it comes from a lack of global awareness that this is actually the way mentoring is done now and when we share knowledge it makes us all better members of whatever crew we're on. Keep it up:)

Instead of me watching a new camera announced every three months, I will invest my time to this channel and learn the art. keep it up, I HAVE SUBSCRIBED.

Invaluable content here. Can't thank you enough. The fact that you're taking the time to share this with us is very, very appreciated.

Simply brilliant. I've watched over 200 videos on video and photography and this is my first comment. Thank you so much for sharing! Thought I wanted to shoot photos but have been leaning towards video and this touched me deeply.

These videos are soooo helpful... At first I was saying “This dude needs way more subscribers” but then I remembered, this content is for those of us that really want to geek out and are REALLY serious about the craft of producing high end content... Again thank you

Doing the Lord’s work, thank you from a young pup.

I really appreciate that as a working professional, you're taking the time to do these. Lots of "expert" RU-vidrs around (creating great shots with DSLRS etc, no disrespect to them), but not many commercial operators taking the time to share their expertise and experience. Thanks.

Thank you very much! Your videos are my morning song and my lullaby. Great! Hello from snowy Russia 🥂

Andrew. Mate. At the end of the video where you talk about people up the food chain that don't respect our work, is so true. Thanks for all the videos you do, I'm a younger gaffer and I appreciate your videos so much. Thanks mate

You are the best. If the industry had people like you it would be a joy for everyone to work.

Amazing video! Absolute wealth of incredible information

Learning so much from your channel. Thank you for your efforts in putting these videos together.

What a noble cause! I'm not working in the same industry, but the knowledge sharing, the respect of people is probably a topic in every business. Thanks for sharing with and inspiring your audience!

Last scene was wonderfully lit!

Stumbeled upon your channel. Great video. Thanks

Thank you 🙏🏽 please give us more of this type of videos 🙏🏾

Thanks for sharing. Very generous of you. Well done, mate.

This is so amazing!!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful wealth of knowledge you are sharing!!! It is a real honor to have this channel available for the world to learn from!!

Please make more videos like this! Thbaks for sharing! We are learning alot!

Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful content. I really like that blue-magenta background. :)

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful work!

I'm blessed to have been introduced to this channel. So much love for you and what you do. Thanks!!

I am a cinematographer and having a smart gaffer is a huge support on set.

Gaffers are definitely an artists. No doubt in that.

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! Thank you for making these awesome video!!

Gaffers do all the work, it’s the camera operators who are doing bugger all.

Thank you for sharing Andrew. I think your channel is gold, showing young people interested in the industry that there's more to the visual side than simply Director or DOP. Having worked under an experienced Gaffer for 4 years, the knowledge I've gained and respect for the Gaffer is unmeasurable for my long term goal as DOP of features. I still Gaff from time to time on smaller shoots in my home town, and can resonate that perception by many: Gaffers put lights on stands. Gaffers are at the tip of the spear of productions with knowledge and advise that is suuuuuper valuable.

You are a skilled craftsman - thanks for sharing!

Learned a ton. Thanks a lot. One day I would like to be a Gaffer, and videos like this have really helped me.

Last shot (both look and breakdown) is my favorite.

This video was invaluable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

So glad I came across your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Thank you for sharing... the gaffer is the right arm of every DP, and the key to a successful project. Much appreciated!

I am soaking knowledge and I am saying to myself no investment in cameras can outweigh lighting and it's understanding. Thank you for this video

Very informative... Thanks for sharing!!

Really you are great Gaffar I like your Teaching Style. This is Azlan Arain khan cinematographer Bollywood in Indian Cinema.

Great episode, thank you so much for taking the time to make these!

Thank you so much for this kind of videos .

I watched most of your video but this one is the best by far - would love to see more of this style. Thanks so MUCH !!

This was a fantastic breakdown, thank you for taking the time to make it!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us!

Thank you for the detailed breakdown and the lengths you've gone to make this available, it's very valuable and most appreciated!

This is great stuff. I know what a pain it can be to get to show footage from set and I really appreciate this.

Cheers Andrew! Your parting comment meant a lot. I worked in Hollywood for thirty years, mostly as a lighting tech and later gaffer. Because I was a member of the IA (a labor union) I often felt my contributions were discounted. You are lucky to be affiliated with a DP who values your work, instead of simply taking all the credit. Your lighting is beautiful and it is appropriate that people are made aware that this is a team effort -where all the members of a crew bring something special to the job. I am happy to see that you still use old school tech as well. This is the best time to be in the business, where the advantages of the new and the old can be blended together with amazing results! Thank you!

thanks for the breakdown. best content i've seen for quite a while!

thank you so much for this!

The last shot looks so amazing!!! 👍

Amazing, love the channel, the footage looks incredible!

You are the best. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, and precise technical reviews of equipment in our field.

I’m just at the beginning of cinematography and I watch your channel to avidly lean lighting techniques, skills and creative use so videos like this are gold dust for us small end guys who have to do our own lighting as well as filming due budget. Brill 👍

This is such a great video, awesome content and set breakdown, thanks so much for sharing all this! Great job on the lighting too

You're a good man putting this out there. A lot of people will be better at their craft because of you.

Inreally liked that last sequence especially the color

I cannot thank you enough. I love how you are trying to bring others up to speed and capable.

Love the lesson and the message at the end. Thank you!

Love these breakdowns by a real gaffer!

Thank you a lot to share this !

Thank you for this, honestly.

Absolutely amazing! Please make an episode for the other scenes you did show at the end!

Thank you so much for sharing what you do and your knowledge. You’ve area of production so very interesting. Love it.

that was super informative !! Thank you very much for this video. Highly appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

That was fantastic, pure knowledge - expertise and talent put together in such a short video. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Awesome work and a refreshing dose of generosity.

Amazing. This has blown my mind the level of detail involved in lighting!

One of the best lighting breakdown video I saw, thank you, really appreciate it. Great job all around.

What a detailed break down. Thanks Andrew!

Thank you Andrew. This is amazing. I am so grateful. I also did appreciate the other episodes on Aputure products. So detailed on every things. Many thanks for your time. Patrick

I’m very grateful for this. Thank you!

You're absolutely tops when it comes to your breakdowns. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is really amazing to hear you break down your lighting techniques... thanks for the great content!

Definitely one of the best tutorial video in youtube,Thanks for your teaching!

Thank you so much for this

Thank you for showing us your work. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm learned so much thanks to you sir!!!! I know there is more to learn, so I subscribed to keep looking at your videos.

Thanks for your work 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Pure gold. Thanks for sharing

Amazing work! A guy from the other part of the world, from Transilvania, is saying a huge thank you. You help me understand a lot of stuff with this video and your explanation.

Incredibly informative video and some beautiful lighting! Definitely spoke to me when you mentioned the young guy who wants to be a Gaffer. The amount of detail you go into regarding your reviews and lighting plans is incredibly motivating for me so I’m definitely subscribed!

Love your video's, without a doubt the best content around gaffing online. Thanks, learning a lot!

Really appreciate your videos full of tips and "how to"s! Thanks for your work, I've learned so much so far by watching a lot of videos on your channel.

Loved this!

You are doing a great job sir! Thank you for this

Really nice work, everyone talks about cameras but lighting is what makes the shot. Thanks for sharing to all who allowed this.

Thank you so much for this breakdown. Would love to see more of such example videos. Great learning :) thanks.

I've loved and learned from every video you have posted (the tip about orienting gels and diffusion on barn doors to allow heat to escape has never to my knowledge been offered anywhere else) since you began this outstanding channel, but this one was extra special as it made explicit the craft and care invested in what you - with typical understatement - describe as 'a very basic shoot'. If I could create something with one tenth the quality I would be made up! You sir are a born teacher and the wonderful largesse with which you and others (like Luke Serveld) share your incredible wealth of knowledge is quite simply marvellous. A thousand thanks - I will be making your channel required viewing for my students next academic year.

Ive watched this before but it popped back up and you do such a good job I sat through it again. The best part about watching twice.. I noticed on your diagram you called them FLOOPIES! lol. Great job as always and appreciate all the content you put out with a practical, on-set mindset of a professional.

Absolutely gorgeous frames, man!

Loved this. Thanks for sharing

Great share....and good point about the real work of a gaffer.

Amazing content, thank you so much!

Love this.

As usual. Absolutely superb! Thank you for your effort.

This was super helpful with lots of information. Thanks!

Well this is my new favorite channel. :). Brilliant.

This was an amazing work and great walk through guide. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Really appreciate your insights!! Beautifully done

wildly useful breakdown, thank you

Oh my.... I'm so grateful to have landed on your video! Poetry in lighting :) Many thanks for sharing your precious knowledge.

thank you for showing the perfect example of creating music video or some video content isn’t always about setting up camera on a gimbal and putting wide lens and running forward and backward.
