I know this is very elementary for most, but thank you Film Riot for making it. Thank you especially for including stills from big films!

@imthemaximus

thanks for teaching my 2 years lighting studies of my college in 6 mins.

@sheggy5442

As an aspiring filmmaker, you guys have no idea how thankful I am to have your videos. Every week you help me learn so much, and honestly I would be lost without you guys teaching me the skills I need to know!! #nothingbutloveforfilmriot

"Low Key, beyond being Thor's brother," was my favorite part of this video.

@SteveStockmalMusic

Congratulations !!!
Great work

@HarryBoNI75

Is this guy going for the Guinness World Record for speaking fast?

@laureno4399

You guys have inspired me to start making films, especially since my school pays for after effects and premiere pro! Thanks so much

@JungleNYC

One of the better 101 lighting vids I've seen. Nice, quick, and non-nonsense. Nice, tx.

@TheStanishStudios

All those triangles on peoples faces started to look like an Illuminati conspiracy video

@SuckYaMudda09

Ryan talks so fast but he never stutters. This is impossible, must be genetics...

@hocadidilyocuttCAP

Thank you for this video.  I hate looking up lighting techniques and only finding videos about three point lighting.  I'm glad there's something out there that goes more in depth to actual basic film lighting techniques.

@SAndSPictures

Yummy delicious lighting! It seriously changes the mood of any scene. Not the camera.

Film Riot really...lights...up my world...

@thebrandonkm

I love all things Film Riot but this kind of video is definitely my favorite

@Alperen_Erdogan

You're a true FilmRioter when you don't skip the sponsor advertisement and watch it with the same enthusiasm every episode.

@RunNGunPhoto

Great techniques and, as you said, cross over well into the photo world. Thank you!!

@KevinHolik

Love this look at lighting terms and what they practically mean in video/film. It's easy to search up a WikiHow or some article on the web, but seeing it in action, as the light physically moves is a really good learning tool. This is awesome.

@admiralmachine

This was very good no nonsense crash course. Thank you!
