How to Recreate Euphoria’s Aesthetic on a Budget (At Home Setup)

These Videos are amazing and shouldn't be free! Thank you so much. 🖤 One thing I'd love to see though, would be a quick chat about Exposure, ISO, let us see the False Color for a second and talk al little more in detail about your exposure choices etc. Especially in these moody scenes which i certainly struggle with. And the editing how much do you ETTR and then pull it down in post. People can learn even more from your videos. ;) That would be so cool. Thanks again. Cheers from Hamburg, germany

Did you expose to the right here? Or just used ISO 800 w the ND? I’m curious because I deal with Noise in the shadows filming “low light” scenes even when my cameras Lower Native Iso is 800. I actually found ISO 400 Exposed to the right while maintaining my contrast ratios with the light and pulled down in post to have virtually no noise.

Love this kind of breakdown!
With regards to raising the levels after setting the shot up without changing camera settings - in this instance, you can boost all the lights to get +1 exposure, what would you do to increase levels in the shadow areas (the general ambience of the room) given the mix of RGB lights and a non RGB key light? would you just use a 5600K light into the ceiling or try to match the key?

Wow, I'm blown away by how accurately Zachary Guy recreated the iconic party scene from Euphoria at home! His attention to detail and creative use of available lighting really brings the show's signature aesthetic to life. It's amazing to see how a skilled cinematographer can transform a ordinary space into something visually striking with the right equipment and know-how.

I like that you are focusing on one shot. I get overwhelmed thinking I need to recreate entire scenes and forgot it doesn’t have to be that big.
Also, I’m curious to what matter box vnd did you use? Any diffusion filters?

Looks really really good. @BlaineWestropp1 has a couple videos that he talks about raising exposure to avoid noise and what he did is he created some LUTS that are essentially -1 stop so that he can adjust all his camera settings to a higher exposure like you mentioned but then view the image on your monitor closer to what you want the end result to be.

Really great lighting breakdown to achieve a look with very little production cost! When exposing with Sony camera I find brining the EI down to say 400 for the monitors (if shooting on base 800 iso) works well so I know I’m overexposing the recoded image by a stop.

Sick recreation and lighting breakdown!
