Your scene Setup where you’re sitting in your chair talking about it… with the plants and whatnot behind us insaneeeeeee. So sick better than the podcast room even
This is perfect timing as I’ll be shooting some podcasts for the first time in the near future. I’ve been searching like crazy for a video showing a cinematic podcast setups and these lighting techniques are so often overlooked for podcasts but so worth it for the end result! Nice work. Love the name of the podcast by the way. Wish you the best!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a similar small room setup and was searching for the right lighting look but everyone else had massive studios or large rooms to work with. You guys nailed it! Amazing job! Earned a sub!
Great video Anthony! I've been looking for some ideas on how to light a podcast my son is doing and this is the kind of look I'm going for. Our podcast will generally have two hosts sitting across a table from two guests. Would you advice just duplicating the exact same lighting setup for the opposite side of the room or do think that would create too much light bleed?
We needed this video so bad! Thank you so much. ♥️ Could you make a video of how you record your podcast (which camera)? We are currently filming with your mobile phones and need a camera.
That’s great to hear! It’s hard to find people doing podcasts well. Ik because I tried looking all over UA-cam and couldn’t find much 😔 Will check out your podcast!
Yes! If you are sitting at a table I would suggest to have a lantern softbox boomed overhead instead of the two softboxes as your subjects will be much closer. Just make sure they lantern is not directly in between them but slightly behind their line of sight
@@zeljkotodorovic8193 it would work, yes. But then you’d have to figure out how to keep the light from spilling all over the background that’s really close to the subject and you’d still have to figure out hairlights now for both your subjects. It would be beneficial for a large group that has a deeper room.
I see lightning mood to be a personal thing when it comes to podcasts but under normal circumstances, in my opinion, I don't feel the lighting should be moody or cinematic, it's a Podcast so it should be well-lit, nothing should be cinematic about youtube video or content creating. it's not going to the cinema like I said people want to explore. thank you for sharing your idea.
While I agree that lighting is a personal preference situation, I’d have to disagree with you on not having podcasts look “cinematic”. There’s a slight misconception here that cinematic means moody. The other misconception is that flat lighting means it’s “well-lit”. The point of the video is to emphasize lighting your subjects in a certain way and shooting on the shadow side. The contrast ratios and amount of shadow you decide to have is up to you and the emotion you’re trying to convey with you podcast. You can have a high key podcast and still shoot shadow side. The only difference is it will be WAY more visually appealing than just lighting everything from the front. I completely understand where you’re coming from though!
@@AnthonyRodriguezz I don't know if this will help with the angle of your light placement they are called " swivel with ball joint" There is one from impact, that has 360 swivel for maximum flexibility. stay blessed
LOVE the final look! What size of soft boxes did they send you vs what would’ve been the ideal size you were looking to use in this setup?
I was supposed to received the mini parabolics. Can’t remember the exact size

Hahaha thanks!
I’ve had ALOT more time to really dial in my home office setup, so it does make sense that it’d look better 😂

Ahh I love this!
Glad it came out at the right moment 💪🏼
Awesome video, Anthony Rodriguez. I pressed the thumbs up marker on your segment. Always keep the fantastic work. Eager to see more from you.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Anthony I’m digging the Vibe!!

Thanks a ton man! Glad it was helpful

what size soft boxes are you using and lantern?
Looks really good bro! You always have really great tips and advice. You earned yourself a new sub and I'll be checking out that podcast as well! 🔥
Thanks brother! The podcast is linked in the description

Just insaneeeeee
Hi! We’re can get the extension pole? Thanks you!
Hey, what size softboxes are these? And which ones had you originally ordered?
These were zhiyun octoboxes and I originally was being sent the mini softboxes
Solid Video man
Thanks brotha!
This is awesome !!! Would a similar setup work with the two people sitting opposite a table
Yes!
If you are sitting at a table I would suggest to have a lantern softbox boomed overhead instead of the two softboxes as your subjects will be much closer.
Just make sure they lantern is not directly in between them but slightly behind their line of sight
@@AnthonyRodriguezz thank you! so would the overhead lantern be on the camera side of the guests? or the opposite side? Appreciate your reply!
@@timothykavermann3911 opposite of the camera side and np! Here to help
@@AnthonyRodriguezz thanks mate!
This is great! How did you light your set up? Mind showing us that too?
Currently in the process of moving but once we settle in and I set up my new office, I do plan on making a video sharing that!
@AnthonyRodriguezz thank you so much
Very nice video, dude.
Thanks brother!
how about a big 120 lantern above you, instead of these softboxes? it would be way more easier to install and it would still look awesome
@@zeljkotodorovic8193 it would work, yes.

Great video bro, can you give me a link for the pole you have
All in the description!

VEry Random, but can you share a link to those chairs? haha lol
Haha! Not that random, idk where she got them from unfortunately
I always forget to do like half the steps lol
Happens to the best of us!
Looks great but i can see why everyone wouldn’t want their setup this dim lit.
Definitely different types of setups!
The point is to shoot shadow side, not to have a moody lighting setup
Maybe it’s her hat but it’s pretty difficult to see her face with this lighting
Good eye! We had to adjust afterward. The hat played a big role though
I’m confused. At no point anywhere in this video did any of the lighting look good. Which part was what you consider “good lighting”?
@@roblewisjr2 😂 there was only one lighting setup and I thought it looked pretty good.
Not sure what you consider good 🤷🏽♂️
