From the video

Answers: How do you light a challenging location to look cinematic?

• Cinematic lighting in untreated locations
• Canon EOS C70 camera review and setup
• Aputure lights and modifiers for filmmaking
• Using haze for atmosphere in videography
• Managing depth of field with lens mounts and adapters

What it concludes

• Shutting off house lights and using a single key light creates more depth and a shallow depth of field.
• Using the EF to EOS R adapter with an RF mount camera gives a full-frame field of view on a 35mm sensor.
• Shooting in RAW format on the Canon EOS C70 allows color temperature, tint, exposure, color space, and gamma to be adjusted after the fact.
• The internal image stabilization on the Canon EOS C70 allows handheld shooting with non-stabilized lenses like anamorphics.
• The Canon C70 offers a great dynamic range of 16 plus stops, helping retain details in bright windows.
