    I've seen a lot of comments regarding incandescent bulbs and wanted to address why I used them.
    1. Incandescent bulbs have a perfect rendition of skin tones
    2. When you can find availability incandescent bulbs are very cheap.
    3. Comparably cheap LED bulbs from Ikea or anywhere else will 100% have a worse rendition of skin tones
    4. LED bulbs that are comparable to the skin tone quality of incandescent are about four times more expensive if not more usually.
    Quick note: You can't tell a bulb's quality on skin tone with just your eyes or a CRI score.
    Lastly, I understand a lot of you live in places where you cannot buy incandescent bulbs anymore. I plan on making a more in-depth video on the different types of bulbs in the future!

      It's hard to overstate that Incandescent lights are basically "perfect" for color rendition, especially pitting them against household LEDs. Thanks for mentioning that it's hard to tell this before getting into the edit bay and working with both that footage and footage from LEDs with bad color cast/CRI effects and comparing. I have found some 300w replacement LED bulbs that have decent color rendition and output a lot of light for around $15 each and I use them in Paper lanterns a lot like this, especially as fill. Love it, keep the videos coming!

      Don't try to use CFL light either because that will give much worse color rendition compared to LED and Incandescent. LED can still be a choice, however not all led are created the same and yes they can be quite expensive if you want to have the good one

    I’ve seen so many videos about creative lighting and it’s all Pavotube here, Pavotube there, 3000000000W strobe over here, then shoot in a living room of an expensive house.
    I’ve never seen a tutorial with an example with a reasonable budget that gets genuinely great results with some experimentation until this video. Will definitely try this when I don’t have proper lighting around :)

    Brandon, I want to thank you for putting in alternate solutions other than a C-stand as well as showing what phone footage would look like - you're making it very accessible for people on the tight budget which I am glad to see. Many UA-camrs assume you have certain tools and stands and I appreciate the "good UX" :)

      @nankinink Рік тому +2

      CFLs works great if you add a diffuser (parchment paper) in front of the lamp and add a bit of color correction in post to warm the image a little bit. You might need more than 1 depending on the brightness you'd want tho.
      I use lamp desks as my lights for photography since it's just a hobby and dont want to spend a ton on lights.
      edit: and yeah, this method depends on the region. Since differences in the frequency might introduce flickering.

  • @timkeklinker

    As a tip with the wiggle text in DaVinci Resolve: the wiggle speed varies with the length of the clip. As you can see, the second row of text wiggles way faster than the first row, as the text clip is shorter. You can add two wiggle texts of the exact same length into your timeline and turn both of them into a composite clip (right click, new composite clip). If you then shorten one of the comp clips it will not affect the original text clip length resulting in identical wiggle speeds for both rows :D

    • @timkeklinker
      @timkeklinker Рік тому +3

      Second option would be to type both rows of text into one text clip and then use keyframing to "type" the second row a bit later

    As a professional light tech, working on TV and theatre shows, this is really good advise. I would try to squeeze in a hair light too. Just to put a bit more distance between talent and background. But since this is a 40$ setup for beginners, the key and fill light look great and better than most beginner videos. Just keep in mind to invest in a hair lights when you have more money to spend.
    Remember: 1. Lights 2. Camera! Great light can make most cameras produce pleasing images. Invest in lights first then upgrade your camera

    On the topic of lighting on a budget, I'd like to also point out that the lens used to record the footage used for comparison is a Canon film camera lens, adapted to the fuji camera.
    Using my vintage glass on my sony has become one of my favorite parts about learning digital photography and now cinematography. They're relatively inexpensive depending on the lens you get, quality can vary among brands as well as focal lengths, apertures, etc. There can be some vignetting and chromatic aberration, but on my aps-c camera it hasn't been a problem for my use case.
    They do have a slightly different look than modern lenses, but that's the fun of it. Since they are manual focus they are ideal for stationary recording such as what we see here, imho. Of course, this can be a whole separate video on its own.
    Great stuff Brandon! Looking forward to more of your work and knowledge about one of your passions.

    Great to see you Brandon! Nice video, and awesome production quality as I would expect from you! I hope your channel here blows up! And yes I'd love to see every lighting and camera setup video that you can produce!

    Chinal ball things are actually a great idea! Up until now my recommandation for cheap solution has always been 8x8 muslin (bleached or not depending on the scene) and anything very powerful behind it but this works great!!! Very well made video, keep it up!

    Great Video, adding a drawn top-down view of the china lights placement relative to the camera would have helped understand your lights placement a bit more.
    Showing how the lights pack-up for the sake of portability and management after filming would also be nice to see.
    Many thanks for the tips otherwise, would you recommend using Ikea's TRADFI 9000K-4500K light bulbs for this ? Or just stick with your setup ? Going back to non LED lights feels wrong nowadays.

    Great tips. Would like a video on the type of lights. For example comparing a Hue bulb vs the incandescent light you are currently using. (In Europe just buying incandescent is not so easy anymore)
