      "Hi Ben Johnson, Thank you for sharing valuable information.
      If we don't have a light source that allows us to adjust its brightness, how can we effectively use lighting for our UA-cam videos?
      Should we aim for low, medium, or bright lighting?"

    Now, 5 Months later, right after ordering some new lights I want to thank you again. I moved into a new apartment and set up my home office with this in mind. Although I only had some basic lights I made stunning improvements. I chose the darkest room and build up the lights step by step. it just looks awesome and I love not to blur my background in my meetings. I hear "wow" your office looks amazing" quite a few times per week and I feel super good about that. I am planning to launch even a YT channel now since everything looks better now. So, thanks again, mate!

    I've implemented all of these lighting techniques recently. Doing this (along with switching from a 4k camcorder that gives NO separation - i.e. bokeh - to a Sony a7s ii with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8) has made my videos go from looking homemade to professional!

    The moment he said idiot Phone, I was going to scroll, thinking. "another expensive gadget promoter." but dozed for a second and he comes straight to the point.
    Explains everything in crystal clear words, no extra non-sense.
    Shows along what he says. and clarifies, "it is not going to work everywhere."
    Love the way he made this video. Subscribing.

    • @mistermastermind528
      @mistermastermind528 3 роки тому +2

      It's going to be similar to this. You just need to study on how lighting will affect that angle in the camera where you focus on the cooking itself.

  • @hanses6289

    What i like to do with my fill light is to put it kind of far from the subject, with a more yellowish colour than the key light. This helps with making the footage more natural and in fact more happy. This is because the light is acting like a window, and it looks like it's sunny otside (wich is a happyish weather i guess)

    • @benjohnsoncreative
