Secrets Behind Shooting a Drinks Commercial: 6 Cinematography Techniques 

That was absolutely great. Not only did it dive deeper into lighting and DP setup, but also provided an understanding of the whole relationship/fee behind the shoot. Thank you so much :) This is game-changing for everyone learning and developing their own path to commercial cinematography

Scott this video is wicked. So much unseen work gone into this considering it's a BTS. Hats off to you.

As a solopreneur that has stumbled on bigger opportunities vs purposely seeking them out, this was absolute gold for me. It explained so many subtle tips that a DP with formal training just plain understands or was trained to expect or plan for. I am thankful for the relationships that help me to score bigger opportunities and add to my squad. Excited to be a new subscriber and really appreciate this one! (New Soldier from Toronto)

Wow.... I was watching your videos for a bit of inspo.... I didn't realise you would be such a mentor... love the way you identify the struggles... and your journey whilst staying on track. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

As someone who is just stepping foot into the world of video production, this video alone has provided me tons of value. On top of all the detailing (especially with the BTS with graphics), the fact that you went ahead and transparently showed how much you've charged shows you're here to deliver nothing but quality. I would appreciate it if you could add an entire list of all the equipment used in the video, as I'm unfamiliar with most of it used in the video. I wish you all the best, dear Scott!

Couldnt agree more that relationships are so important in this field. Great breakdown as usual!

All I can say is... Great Work!!! Great job pulling focus (despite your modesty).

This video was amazing. You really did a good job with this and definatly earned my subscription.

Just found your channel, I think these might be the best breakdowns on RU-vid. Thanks so much, love your work.

great video and thank you for transparency

Incredible to see the bts. Thankyou for sharing

beautiful outcome! and thank you for giving us the pricing information straight forward without giving us the runaround like other videos.

Brilliant video Scott. Seeing the chain is also really important too. I love the transparency and honesty of your videos. Keep it up matey!

Very interesting advice to start with the high speed and then go wider instead of the usual wide-to-close, I'll keep that in mind.

This is the best information in my feed. Love the videos you make. They really inspire me to do good work. Thanks!

Very useful video. Thank you!

Excellent breakdown once again!

Amazing video and very informative, Scott! Thank you!

This was really great. You just enlighten me more about cinematography. Thank you

This was incredibly useful, thank you Scott.

Another top notch video.

Awesome sauce! Great looking spots, thanks for sharing.. safe travels..

you're a legend man wonderful video ! much love

Kudos to your art department for the practical lights in the bar scene!! That was brilliant. That one breakdown I learnt so much about light placement. This is definitely going to be handy on my future shoots. Beautiful work Scott!!

Great techniques and great work was done that lighting on the glass was dope

This is fantastic content. Your stuff looks great and you do an amazing job clearly communicating everything. Keep em comin!!!

Excellent, so much information! Subbed.

Finally a new video! I love it! I particularly appreciate how you explain how you got the job and involve other people! I love such videos, and I'm already looking forward to content that covers pre and post-production! Excited for more and new videos! 😍🔥 well done 🔥🔥

This is a fantastic insight. Great content. Keep it coming.

Glad to have found this channel. Well made video.

Thanks Scott! As always, honest, insightful and inspiring!

Great info and insight. Thanks for sharing.

always so concise with your breakdowns amazing work, love what you do ad always am inspired!

Amazing stuff. As an upcoming dop also in East London, these are really helpful!

first off, another amazing breakdown. So valuable and thank you. Were the practicals at 9:13 in the upper right hand corner specular? You mentioned they were tea lights, so were they just those small candles with the circular containers or what? Really love those were intentional.

Learned a lot in these 12mins! Thanks for that look behind the scenes! Subscribed!

Fantastic!

Awesome BTS!! Subscribed :)

Amazing work man! Your videos are always inspiring 👍

If you ever have to pull focus again I heard a tip to make sure you set up perpendicular to the camera shot so you can watch as the camera and subjects move further and closer from eachother. I saw you were pulling with your back to the whole scene in one shot

This was a full journey for the viewer. Thanks for the free ticket 🚂

Great video Scott! Interesting that the Dedo's went flickering, never experienced that before. I'll keep that in mind. Did you already get to play with the Freefly Ember 5K? Less dynamic range, but a cleaner image than Raptor. I think you will enjoy that cam.

new subscriber! I also shoot on v-raptor and komodo quite a bit. question for ya- do you use any particular in-camera LUTs when you have a shoot with so many people monitoring on set?

Hi Scott! Do you sell luts or have grading tutorials?

Great content! Terrifying outro

fascinating stuff - I'm an actor (and a secret camera/cinematography nerd) and while I was working on a commercial shoot for SPAR here in Northern Ireland I was talking to the food technician people who were setting up the table of food for the closing shot of the ad and THEY said the big money was in being a "liquid specialist" or something - not sure that was the actual job title but I heard about a guy who makes drinks like whiskey pour over ice in a pleasing way for the camera, and he travels the world for about 3 months making a fortune then takes the rest of the year off!!! was there anyone there making sure the baileys looked it's best or was that all on you?

This was pornographic, entertaining, and fucking inspiring. I love this industry so muuuuuuuch

Nice

Hey! What is the rig at 7:56 called ?

I love you

120% killer.

I will watch this later and I'm very curios, if this video is any different from the other zillions of "how to shoot a commercial at home" videos. Don't get me wrong. Nothing against you and I even haven't seen your version at all. ;-)

36.000 W for a table to shot?.....

all the $ spent, all th one people involved, and no AC ? that was a serious failure to manage the shoot well. "did the best under the circumstances" is really I guess you attempt at dry humor because we've all seen results of the same level done for very much less.
