Excellent explanation. Simple, straight-forward and no posing.
Thank you! I got lighting for christmas and was looking all over for a video like this!! Very helpful
Extremely good presentation, illustration, and organization of the material. This is the best instructional video I have found explaining the 3-light setup for a video shoot. I am subscribing! Thanks, Videomaker! - Elizabeth
I found this video to be very helpful and am happy to inform you I am now one of your subscribers.
Thanks for the tips,
Rob
Thank you. This is the first time lighting makes sense to this novice. Great job!
can i use lamps inside my house for 3 point lighting?
@videomaker my comment was a bit harsh I could have made the same pint without saying it the way I did. I applaud anyone making videos and focusing on the techniques that separate good quality video and average video. The amount of attention to the smaller details that make a huge impact, make all the difference in the world when it comes to visual mediums. Keep it up.
This is the best 144p video i have ever watched
this is the best comment on a 144p video we have ever recived. lol BEst!
i watched your video the whole moring .a lot of good ideas that i never thought before.
thx a lot!!!
I thank you too Videomaker Team! My Chief Lighting Tech is unavailable for the shoot today and I have to light my own damn shoot, so I needed help and a quick understanding of the basic lighting essentials. I will do more lighting tutorials going forward but at least I can have a decent shoot today (if I don't screw it up, of course!).
This is great! A big thank you from Scotland!
I am going to use these tips on my next video in my weekly series. I know lighting is one area I need help on. Hopefully I can get it right now. Thanks
Really good tips. Thanks. Now I can try to use my lights for the first time.
Finally, a detailed and to the point explaination of the 3 point lighting.. question though, is this also applicable to videos?
Very clear instructions. I used this to touch up on my lighting skills. Thanks a lot!
This was the most helpfull, to the point video on lighting. Thanks!!!
Even now also this video makes me happy ❤❤❤
This has been a huge help with an assignment i'm doing, thanks heaps...
Perfect. I was going to use a smartphone to record interviews with injured workers. This should ensure I get proper lighting. Thanks. My only question is how do I extend this lighting to cover two people sitting 5 or 6 feet apart?
Thanks You for this easy to under stand so i dont have to light up
the green screen much as Long as the subject or do i underatand it right??
Just got my green screen and dabbling with it now using your tips, thanks so much for the instruction!
+Healthy is a Verb You're welcome!
:)
Thank you. This was a detailed video and I learned more from this despite watching so many videos on lighting. +Videomaker I am filming in a similar set up for my show as the girl in this video. What kind of lights were you using? Was it fluorescent and how many watts was your total 3 Point lighting kit? 2700K ? I need to find a 3 point lighting system that will project light to fully light up my green screen because I only have Sony Vegas Pro for a bit and need the production to be smooth to avoid problems in post-production. Thank you soooooo much!!!
Im taking a film course class even though im not major in filming. I found this video is way easier to understand compare to my textbook and its dvd :D
Great Content..Nice Video

Thank you. Very clear and easy to follow.
cool! im going to try this. i need all the help i can get bc i am struggling with lighing in all my youtube videos..and the bad lighting is very unflattering. hopefully this will improve my video quality..thanks.
I went to CHICO STATE!!!! anyway, thanks for the video. And thanks for doing a side by side comparison of each light in use. Videomaker rules!
Evan Smith (530) ???
Can you use LEDs at the two lights in front and a different kind, such as a fluorescent for the backlight?
Nice video! I subscribed...
But what happened to your models eye brow? Anyway, your video are very informative!
Excellent explanation! Thumbs up.
Best tutorial ever.
Hallo,
I haven't much experience in lightning, but in this case the third light is the kicklight, or? Backlight is straight behind the subject, or? Another thing which is important is the eyelight. Make shure that your Eyes aren't looking boring. For example use a ringlight.
If I said something wrong, please correct me.
@LifeBloodMarketing
I actually bought my greenscreen there! I didnt know they had lights! thanks so much :)
what camera do you use?
Hi, what type of lights did you use? I want to buy something similar to the lights you used.... thanks
@JacanaProductions Hey, this is probably the best 240p I've seen (I thought it was 360p), so lay off a bit!!
how would you do it?
Im in high school and i got to make a movie set for video class.
So i guess you might know this.
Do they always use 3 point lighting in movies? or cn there be only key and fill light?
Wow! O.o I didn't realize there was this much detail in just the lighting alone. I'm new to learning this as I've been fascintaed with movie making for a while, but haven't taken any classes on it yet, as I've been planning to get into school for filming at some point soon!
Good tutorial. It gives good basic idea of this lighting technique. And the girl in the video is really cute too.
very good (except the music)
but how do you avoid shadows off the two front lights on the background?
Nice and simple video. Loved it
This was incredibly informative and helpful, thanks you guys!!!!
+Living The Life Thank you!
thanks, great explanation, straight to the point.
good video but looks like youve still got the ceiling lights on?
The irony of this video only being 240p cracked me up for a good 5 minutes.
144p
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.
+Ashish Verma you're welcome!
Hi, what kind of light did you use in this video?
@videomaker ok thanks. so you cant tell what lights you were using? i mean that wouldnt be recommending but rather telling me info.
Is this the same kind of set up I'd want to shoot a food tutorial (not people)?
Where did you get your lights? :D please reply
im planning to make a professional film choreography where it will be filmed in a dark room (all lights off) and i want of course the dancers to stand out in the film but i dont have money to purchase these lighting equipment.Is there any light that can be helpful ? (home equipment etc or maybe lighting equipment that cost $50 and under)
@311peaceout Nope Problem. I would recommend going with the variable lights. I have the basic turn on and off. They are Bright!
hi friend what is the strength of lights
Very Informative. Might I suggest starting to rehash these videos with some better quality recordings. A lot of the detail was Blurry and a bit washed out on my screen. I'm sure that that is due to the 144P setting. Other than that a great video.
Great vid. NOW I understand. Thanks!
What about the kind of lights ? really we have lots of choices ! halogen lights or soft boxes
hey what lights did you use. im looking for good lighting around 100 dollars.
Nice and clear. Thanks!
Thanks. Very helpful video.
Roughly, what voltages are needed for the 3 lights in an indoor shoot?
where can i buy these lights. thank you
@videomaker i see you guys don't have any soft boxes? Does that not blind the actor?
How do you control the intensity of the differents lights
@elcelatruena Yeah, if not lighting then something to control the light whether its reflectors or diffusion, something to control the light as much as possible and make your subjects look great and help separate them from the background. But yes lights are often used in daylight as well.
good work kept it up very informative thanks video maker
Helpful video. Thanks.
Someone could tell me where to find these soft lights that appear in video to purchase and what the power in watts cada.Fico awaiting and I thank you
Great tips, thanks!
Thanks so much this really saved my ass for my film shoot today.
felicidades por compartir el conocimiento.
good working
very good presentation. .nice
Thank you!
how many lights do i need for this setup?
Very helpful thank you!
MUITO OBRIGADO POR ESSE VIDEO!!!
very helpful !! thanks you every much !!!!
What lights are you using?
Thanks very much! We'll make use of these tips...
:o)
I feel like the backlight is hitting the side of her face too much. It needs to set a little more above her facing down not so much shining on her side
Thinking the same thing..
Yes there's too much light on the left side of her face because of it. Definitely needs to be turned down a little bit or backed up.
I use this in Maya and blender a lot. I agree with what you are saying. Luckily I can manipulate digital lights in ways that you just cannot do physical lighting.
helpful tips, for a filmmaker.
I learned something. Thanks
good and easy, thanks!
Nicely explained.
I've still got a lot to learn but thank you for this starting point. (=
Movies are a whole different ball game, its depends on what you're trying to accomplish, are you lighting a scene to set a mood and mimic being in a restaurant during the daytime while shooting in a studio? Ask yourself what you're trying to acocmplish first. But for TV, Interviews, yes 3 point is the bread and butter set up that you should learn and learn very well. Yes I've used only two lights before in cramped or various other situations (windows, light breaks). Each situation is different
What about that light that was already before 3 point lighting ?
Mikołaj Szczepka ambient light
what are the intensity of the lights?
excellent info thanks!
Don't mess-up the color temperature with a gel if it isn't intended. The gel shown 2:24 changed the color temp. Use Spun or LTF (Light Tough Frost).
this is great! thanks
Thanks for this.
Very helpful!
Good information but why was it shot on a potato?
For the fill I use a reflector.
The backlight seems like a waste to me, I don't know why... Create a halo of light on the subjects shoulders and head? Why? Am I fucking jesus or something? Fuck that.
It helps add depth to the scene by separating the subject from the background.
:O
good work guys
wait bro. im confused now because i thought you gotta light the green screen too ????
@anybizfinder Seems to me they're not really using the right kind of camera--it's not very high-def. There's just demonstrating the concept, not a final high-quality example.
Thank you. Great!
Could I ask the name of the music during the video?
JAY -Z 99 Problems but Lighting not One Instrumental
