Question of the Day 💡Do you record videos outside? If so, have you used a light? Check Out Our Favorite Outdoor Light, the GVM SD600 - gvmled.com/sd600d-exp/?aff=102
Can you make a video on the difference between pexpensive rofessional lights and budget lights? (anything under $300). I was surprised to see there wasn't a single video on youtube comparing them
Dude thankyou for getting straight to the point with this video and not being like every other youtube that spends the first 2 minutes of their tutorial vlogging about their day, then an ad for Raid Shadow Legends, then tells you all about their film making course...
I recently made a DIY light setup and i was really happy with it … but i still ended up finding it a bit harsh even with a diffusion film … in my recent video i tried reflecting it off my white wall instead of directly on me and that looked soo much better 💯
Thank you for this very helpful and educational tutorial! I just purchased the GVM SD200B today with soft box. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned here today!
Great video! I don’t have the space for the cob style lighting in my room due to other music gear, but I recently found out about the GVM Edge (pancake/flapjack) style light and it works great. Just clipped it to my desk & provides enough soft light. It’s bi-color also & remote controllable & adjustable on the back of the light or via an app. Sean had a video about a smaller one on this channel a while back, but I got the 15” one. Affordable @ $150 if you can catch it on sale. Cheers!
A good alternative for a COB light is the Andoer EX60III SL-60W. It's budget friendly at £80 I think I paid. Or there's the Andoer LM60Bi which is £78. I quppied my light with the Laofas D60B mini dome, which was also cheap at about £50. Thanks to Sam Holland's review. Budget friendly options.
Setting the white balance on my camera made such a huge difference! I knew the lighting was off but I had no idea I could fix it with such a simple tweak! Thank you!
one critical mistake is that the COB lights are spotlights. You do not get a soft light out of them with a traditional softbox. You need a deflector in front of the big LED in order to spread the light out. Otherwise, the spotlight just comes out of the front of the softbox with minimal diffusion.
I found setting auto light balance to be less troublesome than auto exposure. Especially on my old Panasonic camera I had to learn the lesson the hard way though
great video. i appreciate this, and I'll add to my production checklist -- one of the many variables I gotta keep track of before hitting record/stream!
This was a really great video!! Thanks for it being quick and to the point! Perfect examples! And now I’m going to go burn a hole through my pocket to go buy a Cobb light! Hahaha! 😂
There are some affordable cobs out there! Godox sl60 and Amaran 60d to name a few. Got loads of videos on those affordable lights and which is best, maybe itll help you save a buck
*Never let one failure from the past hold you back in the future* 👉🏻 *MUST READ FOR YOU* “As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. ‘Well,’ trainer said, ‘when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.’ The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.” *I LOVE YOU* ❤️
I like how the video started with a tip right away, can you please make a tip on how to make a proper lighting when presenting a product or something on a table? (front, top etc)
the only one i disagree with is the last point. you can get some clever lighting and beautiful scenarios using hair/rim light(s) and a fill light to fill the shadows opposite of the key light's output. more lighting makes it look more dramatic while still retaining detail in the shadows and gives you more data to play around with in post processing of the video.
Hello there Could you please make the video on how to place a camera correctly Or what camera position will you what look may be I see, u have tilted your camera a little to the downside. Its like u are looking a little bit up. Why is that done?
oh my lord. I've been shooting manual, and I just realized the reason why the color is shifting so much is because of auto white balance... LMFAO. THANK YOU GUYS.
Problem with light being above eye-level is your eye sockets casting a shadow and your face not being well lit. I like to have a light above eye level and below or at camera level so it lights up the face!
Why is it that in OBS my webcam settings it seems to be opposite of the numbers for lighting temperatures? Cooler lighting range are the lower numbers, while warming lighting range are the higher numbers?
I am concerned about the lack of response to questions people ask. For instance, I followed a video a month ago about Final cut output settings for 4K video for RU-vid. How come you get 250mb 4k file size and I get 5.4 GIG using the same settings? My video is only 11 minutes. Surely RU-vid doesn't want huge uploads? What has changed?
This is a question: What if you were able to monetized but you are not ready to set it up for monetization What will happen.. need a answer please.thanks
3:53 you said the change you made to the camera settings made the lighting look spotlighty. Technically you are wrong as you were changing the F stop so you only changed the depth of field, the lighting was unaffected.
The aperture has effect on how much light enters the camera sensor. It also affects the depth of field of the focus. It does not change the lighting. I think what he meant was that when with his particular lighting setup, when using the main light at full brightness, and properly exposing for that, he couldn't pick up any of his other lights, and so it was as if he were in a bright spotlight (he shows two examples at the time he says this). Changing the brightness of the main light is what made it not look as "spot-lightey" after then adjusting the aperture to properly expose the NEW LIGHTING CHANGE. He was talking about the balance between the main and background lights. @@CRE8VALU
Better add number 6 mistake to this video , and that is DON'T spend more than you have too in order to get what you need. You should tell people or at least use samples of things that normal non-professional people can afford and not have to go broke with to purchase. You mention the light you use in this video that cost $1000 dollars. There are similar type lights you can get for literally half the price.
