Acclaimed cinematographer Oren Soffer breaks down his practical approach to cinematic lighting, covering daylight, low-light, and commercial lighting setups. Using the Sony FX2, Oren walks through how he shapes contrast, controls exposure, and makes intentional lighting choices that serve story and mood, regardless of budget or scale. This is a hands-on look at real lighting decisions from a working DP, with insights filmmakers can apply immediately to their own projects. #sonyfx2 #orensoffer #filmmaking 00:00 - Who is Oren Soffer? 00:40 - Oren's philosophy on gear 1:27 - The Sony FX2 3:00 - Lighting for Daylight 4:30 - A closer look at the FX2 6:11 - Lighting for Low Light 8:54 - Color contrast 9:21 - The FX2 in low light 10:31 - Lighting for Commercial Shoots 13:48 - Switching lenses 15:14 - Oren's thoughts on the FX2 16:01 - Cut little viewfinder 16:28 - Oren on affordable gear 17:28 - Guttural screaming! 📷 Get the gear in this video Sony Fx2 - https://bit.ly/mpb-sony-fx2 Atomos Ninja V 4K HDMI Recording Monitor - https://bit.ly/mpb-atomos-ninja SmallHD Ultra 7 Monitor - https://bit.ly/mpb-HD-ultra-7-monitor Atomos NEON 17" 4K HDR Monitor - https://bit.ly/MPB-Atomos-NEON-17 Manfrotto 526,545GBK Video Tripod with 526 Head - https://bit.ly/MPB-Manfrotto-Tripod-Head Sigma 35mm T1.5 FF - Sony FE Fit - https://bit.ly/MPB-Sigma-35mm Rokinon XEEN 50mm T1.5 Cine - Sony FE Fit - https://bit.ly/MPB-Rokinon-50-Cine 🌐 Find us at Reviews, Guides, Knowledge https://www.mpb.com/content Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mpbcom/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@mpbcom Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mpbcom X https://twitter.com/mpbcom Join 1 million creators giving camera gear new life.

Two Sony flagship cameras, and two epic environments! We stacked the Sony A1 against the Sony A1 II to see how these flagships perform in the real world, and whether the A1 II is truly worth the upgrade. Amy took the original Sony A1 to Norway for a week of shooting, while Justin tested the Sony A1 II in Wyoming’s Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks.

Is the Sony FX3 still the best affordable cine camera out there? In this video, we put the FX3 through two different real-world setups to find out. First, we test the camera the way most videographers actually use it, shooting internal S-Log3 with Sony GM lenses in a lightweight run-and-gun configuration. Then we rebuild the FX3 into a full cinema rig, recording external RAW and pairing it with Cooke SP3 cine lenses to see how far the image can be pushed in a narrative environment. From color and dynamic range to workflow and lens character, we examine whether the FX3 still delivers the best value in the affordable cinema space. 00:00 Is the FX3 still the best?
