Awesome practical information. Thanks! Great tip of using your walls as diffuser whilst setting your lamp extra bright. I've managed to get a decent looking setup using one of those triple-spotlight IKEA lamps, using both my walls as fill and key, and the furthest one away as back light. I'm definitely going to invest in some better lights, maybe I'll steal your light truss idea. ;)

@PatronusOpacus 2 года назад

My starting point for my basics is (based on Interviewee looking at interviewer) 11'o clock Camera, 2'o clock Key, 7'o clock Rim, then depending on the available spread, a fill light or reflector between 8 & 10.

@blinkingeyetheatre 2 года назад

The teal was a really nice shift from the fuller blue. I just recently got some Raleno LEDs with adjustable temperature that I'm using now. They're working great for videos. Haven't incorporated them into my stream setup just yet

@heyitstoki 2 года назад

Would you do a video about monitor mounts and placement? A segment for single monitor, dual and triple monitor setups?

@xeta2127 2 года назад

some of your videos are clickbait and have little to no use for the most of us but i like your attitude towards lighting and audio both of wich are my favorite things to mess with in my videos and my favorite things in general. So many people like to overlook these two things and just buy whats popular and everyone is using rn and ending up looking basic and just boring despite having sometimes a lot of followers and resuorces to spend on looking good in videos. Ty for making this imo it helps a lot in understanding this topic :)

@wetcement_ Месяц назад

Hey man! How do you have you key light setup in your stream setup? Is it faced towards you? Higher or lower? I’ve been using the key light and get a lot of eye strain so hoping for some help. Thank you in advance!

@drouchebag9014 2 года назад

To anyone who follows the advice to use your phone as your face camera, be very very careful. I used my phone for about 5 months before the phone started dying after 15 minutes of use. Phones are not meant to be used as a constant running camera for hours and it will overheat your phone if you are not careful. Just as a heads up, I'd recommend using an old phone that you don't care about anymore.

@Shaducan 2 года назад

BLESS YOU rawr 🥰

@JerridFoiles 2 года назад

I use EpocCam on my iPhone 13 Pro for my drum streams, and it's a wonky app. Sometimes it will lag, and then stream in x4 to catch up (makes me look like an amazing drummer). I'd like Elgato to release an update to patch and stabilize the image processing.

@alexispena2010 5 месяцев назад

Hey, can you share your thoughts on best lighting practices with recording with a hat on? I constantly hear do not light from below but the bill of my hat creates harsh shadows on my face, mostly by my eyes. Answer may just be soft light from below while keeping brighter lights above. Anyway, thanks for your time!

@adamklase8547 2 года назад

Would a rim light be relevant for even a green screen set up? Or just key and fill light?

@mobilechaosyt 2 года назад

I always struggle trying to light two people, but not an interview type of configuration. Two people behind a desk doing reviews or Pokémon card openings. At this time I'm lighting everything from the front with room lighting providing the fill and maybe some rim lighting, however it might be better to shuffle the lights around moving one center front (between the two subjects) and the other two on opposite corners and behind to provide both rim for one subject and key for the other subject (cross keying).

@CinemaSteve 2 года назад

What lights do you use? One of my favorite modifiers for 2 people in most settings is actually a lantern modifier. It adds a globe of light and is perfect for tons of settings from interviews to people sitting next to each other etc. The lantern modifier is different from the normal light modifiers such as a dome softbox because it's not a direct source of light and it allows the light to be dropped in overhead or in front.

@mobilechaosyt 2 года назад

@@CinemaSteve Neweer 660s three lights with umbrellas but I have 2 on one stand because they are not producing enough light to be used as the Key Light. The globe is a nice idea but I don’t have any bowens mount lights.

@CinemaSteve 2 года назад

@@mobilechaosyt ah that’s tricky. I’m a creative director and I personally try to not use LED 1x1 panels :/. Cross keying can be effective but it depends on what type of lighting you’re trying to portray. Harris uses a lot of 3 point lighting to cast a shadow on half of his face while using a fill to soften that while still feeling moody and cinematic. It sounds like you’re going for a high key look so no mood lighting and just presenting the people on screen with the product? Do you have a small budget for another light? Bowens mount lights have become way more affordable such as $200 for the Aputure Amaran 100D. But I’m not trying to tell you to spend money when you do have perfectly working lights!

@mobilechaosyt 2 года назад

@@CinemaSteve From the videos I have recorded it seems like we get plenty of face shaping given we are using umbrellas and two lights on one side and the fill on the other. I think the only thing we are missing is probably background separation. Some of that probably is how close we are to the background and the amount of light spill on the background. Probably using hair lights would also help. I tried using a bowens mount light, however because the light color was so different it would have required a complete rework of everything and it really isn't an option.

@CinemaSteve 2 года назад

@@mobilechaosyt what type of camera are you using? Creating depth is a balance of camera settings and lighting. Hair light definitely does help. Have you tried using color for hair lights? Like what Harris was saying, the contrast between a more yellow light on the wall or on your hair helps create contrast which creates separation. I’ve also got a small RGB tube light that cost $50 on Amazon I use on a gorilla pod for color contrast on a back wall or hair. I use it for more run and gun shoots but it works really well. Light spill on the back wall isn’t a big deal as long as you can offset it with another light source to wash it out or create another color.

The rim light has a halo (glare) in the upper right hand corner of the frame. I think the rim light needs to go a bit higher or you need to adjust your camera. There shouldn't be a halo from the rim light correct?

When is the set up tour coming

@F3arlessSoldier 2 года назад

On the point of epoch cam, at least for Android that was already a thing. I have droid cam X which allows me to use the back camera of my note 20 ultra allowing me to basically have a 108 megapixel webcam. Then I run that through Nvidia broadcast for background stuff. Only real issue is it's 1080p 30 however I could probably tweak it to get 1080p 60 and the other issue is you can't use ur phoneunless you use like Samsung Dex on a second monitor however if you don't wanna spend money on a webcam and you have a decent phone it's definitely something to look into.
