      I use a basic 3 soft box lighting set up (key, fill and hair/back) depending on the room I'm in, at this time.

    • @CDReimer
      @CDReimer 4 роки тому +2

      I have limited space in my home office. A pair of soft boxes aimed at the ceiling to bounce light into the room, a pair of photography light bulbs in holders behind a diffuser to side of the camcorder, and a reflector to back fill the light. I just recently changed this set up to remove the graininess from my videos. I got an RGB desk lamp coming in to light the background behind me.

    It takes a great courage to create tutorials like this. Most of us are too scared to appear on screens and ofcourse reactions is the scary part. I hope someday I will be able to interact with people like this.

  • @Graham_Wideman

    For webcam situations -- if you have multiple monitors, you can use them to provide lighting. For example, if you have a 3-monitor setup, you can put large windows or background color on the two outboard monitors using a flattering color, like amber-orange sunset. Even if the additional monitors are not attached to the computer you're using, you can attach them to some other computer to set their colors.

  • @BrandonMinguez

    I'm quite proud since I figured out step 1 by myself when I was taking some professional photos and I was seeing the light in my glasses. Moved the light over to the side and boom! No glare! I'll definitely be using the webcam lighting tricks since I have a few interviews coming up for work!

  • @work2gather

    I'm a visual learner so actually seeing that soft light method was very helpful. I saw the title about wearing glasses and had to see what you were going to share. :-)

  • @First1000Hours
    @First1000Hours 4 роки тому +2

    Thanks! I use a ring light to do my live streams, and I've recently taken my glasses off to avoid the glare. Having a better ligthing setup is what I know I'll need to work on eventually, and this video was helpful for me to understand better how to do it. Then I'll be able to wear my glasses again during my live streams! :)
    I'm nearsighted, and I use my laptop + a flat screen tv to do my live stream presentations. I figured out a way using a chair and pillows to bring my flat screen tv closer to my face so that I could read the screen without glasses. It works, but I know my setup can be better.

But I think I finally get it now. No light from the front! Thank you for the video!

    TWO PRO TIPS from an EYE DOC! 1. Buy glasses with THIN frames (less shadow on your face) and 2. Get a high quality anti-reflective coating on the lens ( best on the market right now is Crizal Saphire 360 as it reduces glare from more angles of light)

Experiment with placement, and you'll have nice, diffused, natural lighting. Dunno why everyone doesn't do this...
