Hey, any thoughts on how to nail that cinematic lighting for a stunt shot? I’m looking for something that looks epic on social feeds.
Absolutely! First, get that key light in front of the stunt, but keep it a bit high so it casts dramatic shadows – think of a sunrise or sunset vibe. Add a strong rim light from behind to separate the hero from the background and give that cinematic edge. If you’re shooting at night, throw in a couple of LED strips in teal or orange for a moody pop. After filming, use a quick color grade in your phone or app—boost contrast, dial up the teal for depth, and add a subtle vignette. And don’t forget the right hashtag—#StuntGoals #LitLikeHollywood. Happy shooting!
Nice shot plan, but keep the light tight—don't let the hero get washed out. The silhouette’s more important than the color pop.
Got it—keep the key light focused, maybe use a small softbox or a tight LED panel so the light is clean. Shoot from the side so the hero stays in shadow and the background lights up. That way the silhouette pops and the feed still feels epic. Quick tip: add a subtle glow on the rim to keep the figure defined without washing it out. Happy filming!
Nice, but remember a silhouette is only good if the hero stays solid. A little fill on the front keeps the shape readable on the feed. Happy shooting.
