In this video we will show you how you can transform a room into a moody film-scene!

The crew you need is a gaffer to operate the lights, a set builder/designer and off course a cinematographer and a director. The set designer will work closely with the director to build the set, gather the props and furniture. And the gaffer will make sure you lit the scene in a way that fits the mood of the story.

  • @DSLRguide
    so important to use shadows - love the dark areas in the library in particular.
  • @luisrocha26
    This video made me understand why even a simple scene requires so much work of different people; getting the details on how light is playing in the scene requires a ton of knowledge and equipment. Thanks so much!
  • That set design is fantastic. Looks like it cost a million bucks. This video was inspiring and the movie looks amazing.
  • The collaboration between the gaffer, set builder/designer, cinematographer, and director is crucial in bringing the vision to life. I'm impressed by the attention to detail and the way the lighting sets the perfect mood for the story. Thanks for sharing! You all did an incredible job!
  • @JimBowieMack
    The lighting is amazing in this! I loved the library scene and look forward to seeing the finished film!
  • @RoundTableLens
    This is exactly what I have been looking for on youtube! The detail that you explained everything is 10/10 for me! As a beginner I am need to learn from scratch. Film school is not in the cards for me so I have to learn myself and videos like this are the golden nuggets I am looking for! Thank you! 🙏🏼
  • @noggs4vlogs
    Great to watch. Really love watching videos like this, how its all put together, and the tremendous amount of work and effort involved in trying to produce something of this magnitude on a reduced budget. Keep up the great work and all the best.
  • This was so straight forward, one of the best setup tutorials I have seen! Definitely taking in these tips to my filming <3
  • @lucinematic
    Amazing what you created here! The library was so authentic. And the lighting in all of the scenes is so great!
  • @TheADHDM
    even just seeing the sketches over the planned shots, what furniture will stay and go, where light will be, is really helpful. Definitely incorporating this half-storyboard type process
  • @TheReaper1
    This is all very cool to see. I recently decided to start making more entertaining videos for YouTube and have been binging videos for research purposes. This is by far the most professional thing I’ve seen and is an absolute slap in the face for me, of just how much can go into making beautiful scenes. I definitely can’t tackle it on my own I see that now! I’ll definitely take what I can though! Thank you for making this!
  • @otter-pro
    wow, the lighting is amazing, especially the library/desk scene
  • in fact i really like this video and how they have explained everything steps by steps.... thank you for this seriously, you've grown my interest in this cinematic things
  • Andy I'm Really Impressed with your Progress! I been following you for about 10 years or more since the Beginning of your Channel! Your Film project is Very impressive. Same as Hollywood Big Budget Quality! Great Job!
  • Thats really cool to see the effort put into set design, it's way too often neglected by filmmakers on youtube. Also the mirror tool on the ceiling was a great idea!
  • This is tremendously fun to watch. This is where I am taking my channel, all behind the scenes of our short films as well as scene re creations.Personally I love it and I think others will too! Thanks for the motivation!
  • Amazing feature! Love the BTS and all of the insight that was given. Well done 👏🏾
