I put a bit of your vid into editor and added 5% Contrast 20% saturation, now that would be My preference try it and see the difference, everything just pops out your skin and face nice healthy tone and your shirt looks black and walls dark blue. I should note that I dont have My studio set up however I do understand graphics design same rules apply.
Hey man thanks for the advice. I’m still getting used to color grading. I’m also starting to realize that you need to take breaks for your eyes when doing it because you get used to the way it looks and think it’s looks great while doing the color grading and then when you watch it later you realize…. It’s not that great 😅😅 especially when I compare to my iPhone…
@@Creator-Source😇
@@Creator-Source I see you have a Blue Yeti same as Me, Maby you could do a video on how to set it up, your audio sounds good.
@HOLLASOUNDS I will in the near future, I actually just started using a presonus pd-70 which sounds different. I’m gonna compare the two.
Great tutorial brother💪
really well-done man
The link for Hitonass Glide Wall Lights is broken
Yeah it’s one of those products that’s frequently goes out of stock.
Well done! I look forward to seeing you at a million subs. 😀
Your set looks awesome, great job!👏🏿
Nice video @creatorsource. A small tip from a portrait photographer...Angle of Incidence vs. Angle of Reflection. If you have the ability to slightly elevate your key light so that the light hits your lenses and reflects down towards your knees, you can eliminate that reflection altogether. Some trial and error. Your set is looking great though! Very nice presentation.
I guess I need a higher stand or something for that. I have the light as high as it can go currently but I’ll keep that in mind for future set ups!
@@Creator-Source your lighting looks amazing and very well thought out. Just added that tidbit. I shoot allot of people with glasses on. It’s always a challenge.
well lifting up the main even more will put more shadows in to his eyes... I already think is too high... but ... he can move the camera to try to to get out of the reflection angle ... hard choices I guess lol... but yes his light looks nice... just need to tweak the main light a bit more
Thank You very much man helped alot
Thanks very useful
Your welcome! I have an updated video about lighting if you want to check it out
I’m in my basement with 3 can lights in the room and just a lamp in background. I wonder if 2 of the box lights would look sexy upon my sweet face..would I need a key light still if I had 2 soft box lights?
Well the soft boxes ARE key lights essentially. Really it’s just a matter of brightness and color (white balance color)
@@Creator-Source nice, I’m years behind on streaming/content creation but starting very shortly here. Thank you.
My dude, I think you can make your vídeos a little brighter. Ther eis this guy Mark Wiemels that always talks about M50 and how to take the most of it with the lights and the sets on the camera.
Right now I have a pretty old Canon T3i that I got from a friend and I try to get the max out of it with my lights and setup so I don't need to twink with color correction later.
At the moment I use an Elgato Key Light Air near my face to give a nice shadow contrast, an old ring light to give a little orange flaver to the shot, and two little blue lamps in the back to give a nice blue aspect on my videos and some background lights
I'm planning to buy a M50 Mark ii next week 🤔
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Music is too loud
Awesome..Thankyou
Good looking out with the key lights! Saved me some money. Thanks.
I actually just bought the 2 pack for myself. I have a better light that I prefer but since I was recommending them I was like… maybe I should actually get them and be certain they are all the hype and they definitely are. I am using them for my drumming videos/livestreams on my other channel “Arturo reacts” and they work great.
Nice video dude... I have 3 of those softboxes with bulbs.. as a aditional tip that you didnt mention... be aware of color cast with chip bulbs... (not you... but who else decide to buy those)
Great video! When I turn the key light on (led panel with softbox), the background isn’t dark anymore. Even if only using 20% or less. Do you have any idea how to change that?
You can try getting the light higher up and angling more down or have two lights at your sides pointed at you but not to the background. If you got more money to spare get a soft box that has the grid on it to make it a very directed light so it doesn’t splash on your back ground. I talk about that more in my other two updated videos about lighting
Thanks, man! I loved it. Also, I have no idea why I completed the video even though I knew pretty much everything you said. Keep it up; I love your work! ❤️❤️
Please can u help me out ,I find it hard to transfer my video content from my iPhone to my windows laptop with the high quality I recorded
Yeah…. It depends on how you save it. If you use like cinematic or anything that saves it as an apple only file then you can’t access it on windows computers. I had to change my videos to save as a mp4 and then make sure they are not too big to be able to do anything with them… it sucks I know but unless you have an apple pc then you can’t do anything with those types of files
@@Creator-Source thanks
Your camera settings are also important - what was your ISO, white balance and shutter speed?
Do you have a video on setting up the M50? I have one but not sure the most cost effective way to set it up
It’s not too complicated. I use the lens it came with and keep it at F3.5
Also lower the ISO to like 250-400. In order to use such a low ISO you need a strong powerful light. Once you got that going you can just set the white balance and bam you got a nice picture. It’s all in the lighting though. I used to use cheap $30 ring lights that you see in the video and they just couldn’t cut it.
How do u feel about recording in 4k vs 1080 on UA-cam
I’m using the canon you have and my go pro for a b shot
The 4K on the canon doesn’t have auto focus with the face tracking and it zooms in WAY too much for me to actually use it so for my it’s 1080 all the way. I forget it even has 4k at times. Maybe for b roll it works good but for the most part it’s like a set it and forget it kinda deal with my m50
@@Creator-Source ok because I saw somewhere they said 4k is better if I want to resize the video for tik tok and shorts & IG
Hmmmm I mean if the crop doesn’t affect you or you can make it work then go for it. The autofocus would not work for me when I tried it and so I just stuck with the 1080p. Try it out though and see how it works 👍
I have an M50, what lens are you using? Did you upgrade your lens? Great video! Thanks!
Nope I am using the standard lens that came with it. No filters or anything extra attached.
The sigma 16mm 1.4 it’s dope
THANKS A LOT MAN, God bless you, the channel will blow up and I wish you that you get all you want.
Man thank you! I hope the video helped you out in some way.
Thanks for this video! Currently trying to upgrade my setup. At 5:08 when you give a glimpse of your setup, I noticed your key light is mounted to a metal shelf of some sort -- do you have a link or model for that?
So it’s like a $15 shelf I got on Amazon. One of the random cheap ones. I also got a mount for light (or camera) from Amazon as well which the link for that is in the description
Where did you get that softbox wall mount?
amazon of course
amzn.to/48UBoQY
Looks clean
Thanks for the video. Keep it up, king.
What Audio setting did you use for your mic, am I right in saying you have a blue yeti ?
Yes it’s the blue yeti. I am using OBS and using the stock EQ on there. It has +3 to high, -5 to mids, and +5 to bass. That’s pretty much it
@@Creator-Source I will try this thank you 🙏
Thanks. Very helpful and easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
Not relating to the lights, but where did you get the guitar hanger, and also the mini shelfs on the wall? I'd like to get some for myself
Amazon for both. Just search up guitar wall mount and also those shelfs came as a set of 3 for like $15. The corner shelf thing I got in there was also like $20 I think
@@Creator-Source Thank you very much! Great video by the way
Is that an AI-Model?
What? 😅 are you calling me an AI model?
@@Creator-Source The content is good, but the lip movements don't match at all.
@NoMasterOfWine yeah I’m not sure why that happens. When I watch the video in my editor and on my media player it’s perfect but once it was uploaded on UA-cam there was a weird lag in it. I have no clue why that happens or how to fix it…
Your lips and voice it not in sync
Why you staring at his lips?
@@ramen2486 I don't stare, it immediately caught my eye because I create videos myself and something like this immediately catches my eye
im just messing with you. I didn't pay attention until after you mentioned it but syncing takes practice so im sure the quality will only improve @@greinalexandra
@@ramen2486 i also didn't mean anything bad, but gave constructive feedback
I understand. I apologize if I made you feel that way. You did not give a false statement and I understand you meant well.
