    • @Suntika
      @Suntika 3 роки тому +2

      @@hahahaha-nm6yu same rules apply. It's all about placement. Trial and error. Spend an hour having fun and trying new things. If you're using actual grandma lamps (incandescent light bulbs), and you're using many of these, expect the energy bill to be a little higher at the end of the month 😄.
      If the look is too yellow for you, you can experiment with the "temperature" in your post processing... Whatever software you use. Essentially making the entire video more blue to compensate for the very warm colored lights.

Your B shots (I think they're called :p) also went a long way to help visualize exactly what it looks like. Thanks for great content, as always!

It's not all that great but it does the job for now. I plan on getting a el gato key light in the future and doing the 4th type of lighting you showed with the edge lighting and maybe rearranging my led lamps to attempt that last style to blast some color. Also looking to mess around with a green screen setup every once in a while. Great video, thank you for putting out so much quality content. Literally can't thank you enough.

Some may say that this was too much colour, but I loved it. Now I bought a ring light so I am making changes to my lightning on camera again :)

    The first time I learned about lighting was while attending the Defense Information School for a basic broadcasting course. We learned about offsetting and key lights and side lights and rear lights and edge lights and fill lights, and ... did I miss any? .... but I feel as if I learned a ton more in this to-the-point nine-minute video. Your quick explanation of key lights was especially well done, but kudos also to the bit about the use of contrasting gels. Gels would have illustrated the effect better, but I love the innovation you applied to approximate the effect. Bravo Zulu, Mate!

They weren't expensive at all and they make me stand out really well from my background, but I dig that last option and will prolly look into an alternative for trying it out. Thanks Harris for the great videos you've put out, they've been a great help to my channel... now if only I can get a streaming pc to add to the set up. I'd be set, for now 🤣
