That insert of WB studios had me LOL

The PHONE??? Come on dude, this is awesome. I love seeing scrappy solves with excellent results.

Wow never thought you use the kei truck for work like I did too, my idol ❤🎉

Such a cool truck

Can you give the measurements of the entire Confessional booth build out? PLZ!!!!🙏🙏🙏

ur a legend mam

the DP king has returned!!!!

The truck is so awesome, haha!

here for the live, laugh, and love hat

It’s a good day when Lewis uploads.

You actually need a high-powered dysprosium lamp to enlarge the light ratio and do a big contrast, not this poor LED lamp

L33T video length

"The following day back at the studio" had me cracking up! Great video, probably the next best thing to being on set.

Okay, 10:43 made me a lifetime subscriber. lol

Awesome video! Is the short film ready yet? Would love to see it

What kind of gels did you use? Mine instantly melt when I put them in front of the 600d!

Hi 😊 how are you I haven't editing pc can you help me When to be God will and accept my question i will be happy Thanks ❤

so good so can't wait for the film

Please stick around and post some more for us! :)

not only a DP mate....not only a DP.

WB studios for the win XD

The confession booth is the definition of Movie Magic. Reminds me of how they shot the train scenes in The Grand Budapest Hotel.

2:10 i see you lewis with no eye protection, hes cooler then me

Nobody else’s uploads on this platform make me click this fast.

BRuhhh the drone shots of the studio, I'm dead

the truck rips brother

THE voice to all of us aspiring folk! Well done and much love from Tennessee 🙏🏼

Nice. The (apparent) ending made me think of the confessional scene in THX-1138.

Nice! I was checking out that catch light in the end trying to figure out where TF that light was coming from 😆 Looking forward to the final version!

Great stuff, very handy info. looking forward to seeing the short when edited too

Thanks for another, great video!

Lmaooo you are hilarious for that 'back at the studio' Warner bros clip.

Fun little shoot with friends I casually shot on my Alexa 35

that blue smartphone fill indeed looks great on the skin

The way you do so much with so little, it's just amazing.

I love your videos so much!

the GOAT returns.

i was expecting a church scene like johnwick 4 😄

can u tell me the reason use 180 shutter while you on 25 fps?

The tabletop as the confession window has me dead

Where can I watch the whole short?

What are the bars you hang your fabric off of called ?

babe wake up new lewis video just dropped

you are alwayz the best

Like it lewis …G.L man I like yr videos .

Gotta love this man’s sense of humor!

The WB Studios hahaha that made my day 😂

Great content, as always

calling this a master class

Why did you decide not to shoot the 1200’s through the windows? Not enough output?

You convinced me to start looking at a Kei truck for a production vehicle. My average loadouts are about as much as you showed. I think it's time

Нужно все у вас тут глянуть

That opening the curtain shot! 🔥🔥🔥

lol back at the studio...

"..in my living room", you mean in your studio right? Great work, great video. Massively jealous of the truck.

That cut to the Warner Brothers backlot friggin got me lol

I would love to buy your tutorials, but you don’t offer PayPal as a payment method ;(

Great to see you back making great content Lewis! Thank you for sharing. Always top-shelf content.

ist that a proaim polaris dolly or classic danna dolly ?

Love this video especially since I recently did a film in a confession box and we did a similar approach with a scrappy let but a way more complicated than it needed to be lighting set up lol

so much good and useful information in each of your videos man! definitely would love to collaborate with you sometime

Very cool, man. The little speaker reveal is hilarious!

MANYAALAAA

Did you need a vmount for the phone light?

👌

Absolutely amazing

I always suspected that Potts and Apollonov from "I did a thing" are the same person. Now that you did a confessional booth I know I was right.

"back at the studio". nice.

This is rad, thank you for sharing! That combo stand you mounted the komodo on looks rad, it can articulate too like a boom arm? what's that called?

The colour and naturalistic style reminds me a lot of Steve Yedlins work

That truck is so massive

Great content!!!

@lewispotts Isn't Bireli Lagrene music at the end of video ? What tune is it ? Sorry I'm a cinematographer myself but also huge fan of gypsy jazz music..

So awesome!!!

movie magic

❤

I love a lot of the stuff you do but this looks at least 2 steps back from what delighted to see: All of the main shots in the church looks kinda flat and not natural at all; too much light and too much reflections going on there The side light is too strong and overall levels on the subject are just too high (even on the lateral dolly) Seems like you put a lot of effort on it - for sure - but the output looks kinda "cheap" Even the close up inside the cab is meh, considering it's a "built" set
