Lighting is the most important aspect of creating the "cinematic" look. It's more important than your camera, lenses, or any other new-fangled piece of gear. Case in point: have you tried to light a bar scene and find yourself not knowing where to start? In this video, Garrett dives into how to use contrasting colors to create highly stylized and saturated looks for your next movie, short, or music video.

This video is not about the gear, but the concepts used to create the overall look. You can produce this look with tons of different light and camera configurations. That said, if you're interested in what gear I use, here are the links.
