Question of the Day 💡Do you record videos outside? If so, have you used a light? Check Out Our Favorite Outdoor Light, the GVM SD600 - gvmled.com/sd600d-exp/?aff=102
Can you make a video on the difference between pexpensive rofessional lights and budget lights? (anything under $300). I was surprised to see there wasn't a single video on youtube comparing them
Dude thankyou for getting straight to the point with this video and not being like every other youtube that spends the first 2 minutes of their tutorial vlogging about their day, then an ad for Raid Shadow Legends, then tells you all about their film making course...
Good tips - a white umbrella is a good substitute for a soft box if you're on a very tight budget, but they bounce light around the room more. A white shower curtain is also useful for even softer light, you can make it look like natural window light.
A good alternative for a COB light is the Andoer EX60III SL-60W. It's budget friendly at £80 I think I paid. Or there's the Andoer LM60Bi which is £78. I quppied my light with the Laofas D60B mini dome, which was also cheap at about £50. Thanks to Sam Holland's review. Budget friendly options.
I recently made a DIY light setup and i was really happy with it … but i still ended up finding it a bit harsh even with a diffusion film … in my recent video i tried reflecting it off my white wall instead of directly on me and that looked soo much better 💯
Setting the white balance on my camera made such a huge difference! I knew the lighting was off but I had no idea I could fix it with such a simple tweak! Thank you!
As someone struggling with lighting for the one month I’ve been here in UA-cam, this video is truly helpful! As always, thanks Think media for always keeping me up to speed! 🤠
I remember when i got my first video light, it took a bit but it made a massive difference. You’ll get there soon enough! There so much you can do with just one video light
one critical mistake is that the COB lights are spotlights. You do not get a soft light out of them with a traditional softbox. You need a deflector in front of the big LED in order to spread the light out. Otherwise, the spotlight just comes out of the front of the softbox with minimal diffusion.
The tip on setting your camera to suit the background lighting, then introducing your keylight is an incredible tip that I would never have thought of. Thank you for that!
*Never let one failure from the past hold you back in the future* 👉🏻 *MUST READ FOR YOU* “As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. ‘Well,’ trainer said, ‘when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.’ The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.” *I LOVE YOU* ❤️
Thank you for this very helpful and educational tutorial! I just purchased the GVM SD200B today with soft box. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned here today!
Great video! I don’t have the space for the cob style lighting in my room due to other music gear, but I recently found out about the GVM Edge (pancake/flapjack) style light and it works great. Just clipped it to my desk & provides enough soft light. It’s bi-color also & remote controllable & adjustable on the back of the light or via an app. Sean had a video about a smaller one on this channel a while back, but I got the 15” one. Affordable @ $150 if you can catch it on sale. Cheers!
I was going to add about glasses, which took me the longest time to work out, but you got it in your opening tip, however, I do it a little differently and usually put 2 lights on either side (although a bounce card also works). I have my key light brighter and the other one about 30-40% lower. I used to have a hair light, but now I'm bald, and I use most of my lights for work, I tend to not need or use that extra light. I recently had the opportunity to have a floor lamp in my new studio, so it's really nice to have a real practical light in the background. As always you guys are awesome. Keep up the good work, you helped me so much when I first started to take content creation seriously.
Problem with light being above eye-level is your eye sockets casting a shadow and your face not being well lit. I like to have a light below eye level and below or at camera level so it lights up the face!
Came for the lighting tips, also learned to how to make a kickass sponsored post that helps viewers at the same time. Keep up the good work, Think Media team :)
I like how the video started with a tip right away, can you please make a tip on how to make a proper lighting when presenting a product or something on a table? (front, top etc)
I have a Canon Rebel SL2 and SL3. Neither one of them have the option for the color temperature. Is there a way to update the camera or a recommendation of how to set it on custom?
great video. i appreciate this, and I'll add to my production checklist -- one of the many variables I gotta keep track of before hitting record/stream!
I found setting auto light balance to be less troublesome than auto exposure. Especially on my old Panasonic camera I had to learn the lesson the hard way though
oh my lord. I've been shooting manual, and I just realized the reason why the color is shifting so much is because of auto white balance... LMFAO. THANK YOU GUYS.
the only one i disagree with is the last point. you can get some clever lighting and beautiful scenarios using hair/rim light(s) and a fill light to fill the shadows opposite of the key light's output. more lighting makes it look more dramatic while still retaining detail in the shadows and gives you more data to play around with in post processing of the video.
Hello there Could you please make the video on how to place a camera correctly Or what camera position will you what look may be I see, u have tilted your camera a little to the downside. Its like u are looking a little bit up. Why is that done?
This was a really great video!! Thanks for it being quick and to the point! Perfect examples! And now I’m going to go burn a hole through my pocket to go buy a Cobb light! Hahaha! 😂
There are some affordable cobs out there! Godox sl60 and Amaran 60d to name a few. Got loads of videos on those affordable lights and which is best, maybe itll help you save a buck
Why is it that in OBS my webcam settings it seems to be opposite of the numbers for lighting temperatures? Cooler lighting range are the lower numbers, while warming lighting range are the higher numbers?
I am concerned about the lack of response to questions people ask. For instance, I followed a video a month ago about Final cut output settings for 4K video for UA-cam. How come you get 250mb 4k file size and I get 5.4 GIG using the same settings? My video is only 11 minutes. Surely UA-cam doesn't want huge uploads? What has changed?

Hello content creators
Of course
I just purchased a light thanks to this channel! I mostly film outside during the day though.
Can you recommend one under a 100$

Isnt that the most annoying? 😂
!!!!!!
People who create youtube videos. Just to hear themselves talk.

Wow this video just improved my video quality with almost no effort thank you!!!
Bro, you already have 1 Million Subs, you don't have to worry about your lighting cause people are already enjoying your content as is! Lol
Lights have a way of doing that 😊

Reflecting of a wall or ceiling is crazy useful
I want to thank you for making such a concise to the point clip with no unnecessary intros and outros!
AWESOME! I've wondering about this it always glares on my glasses. This will help so much ty.
If your glasses have a anti glare coating it helps a ton
@@FellowFilmmaker ya they don't. Definitely will next pair. Thank you hadn't thought of that.
This channel is the most helpful channel to youtube creators without a doubt.

@@FellowFilmmaker Thanks much! I appreciate the encouragement. I’m definitely learning as I go

I learned in this video more about photography and lighting than in the fifthy other videos before. Thank you .... god? xD
This was a perfect video for us newbies!! No more setting the lights up right at eye level! Thanks much!!
I remember when i learned lighting positions, super helpful!

The most substantial 5-min video I've seen about lighting.
Lol OH WOW! This video dropped as I just left the Amazon app looking at diffusers and soft boxes for my lights. Talk about divine intervention!
Thank you for this very helpful and educational tutorial! I just purchased the GVM SD200B today with soft box. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned here today!
I’m at the point in my YT journey that I really want to learn the basics of videography. Appreciate the video!
Absolutely!
UA-cam can be a fun and crazy ride! Loads to learn for sure 😊 cheering for ya
Great video...one day when I get enough courage to go on camera I will use these tips!
No more stalling brother, no time to waste!

Really great and concise video!
Man, this is so simple and good!
Hello:) what is the size of your softbox? 90 or 120? And which one would you recommend to shoot inside 2/3 m from the subject? Thank you so much
Love the ending, I didn't even have time to click away
How do you feel about Elgato Ring lights?
I like how the video started with a tip right away, can you please make a tip on how to make a proper lighting when presenting a product or something on a table? (front, top etc)
It depends on the product. But i find a good 45 degree angle and a lil downward angle looks good
what camera are you using to film this video? Very nice image. Thank's
Hello, what’s the size of the octabox? Thank you so much :)
Great tips. Thank you!
I have a Canon Rebel SL2 and SL3. Neither one of them have the option for the color temperature. Is there a way to update the camera or a recommendation of how to set it on custom?
Great video, thank you👍
great video. i appreciate this, and I'll add to my production checklist -- one of the many variables I gotta keep track of before hitting record/stream!
Do you shoot your studio videos with AC on or off?
I found setting auto light balance to be less troublesome than auto exposure. Especially on my old Panasonic camera I had to learn the lesson the hard way though
oh my lord.
I've been shooting manual, and I just realized the reason why the color is shifting so much is because of auto white balance... LMFAO. THANK YOU GUYS.
any suggestion for the keylight with a budget of 200-300?
What is a good lighting for a b-roll. Too many to choose from
god bless you for being so clear
So good! Thank you! You saved my life
Bought the godoc sl60bi for just over 200$ two months ago very happy with it
the only one i disagree with is the last point. you can get some clever lighting and beautiful scenarios using hair/rim light(s) and a fill light to fill the shadows opposite of the key light's output.
more lighting makes it look more dramatic while still retaining detail in the shadows and gives you more data to play around with in post processing of the video.
Hello there
Could you please make the video on how to place a camera correctly
Or what camera position will you what look may be
I see, u have tilted your camera a little to the downside. Its like u are looking a little bit up. Why is that done?
I needed this! Thanks a bunch!!!
Can you sujjest me for dance video indoor which light should i will go.. Afortable
Quick and to the point. Not an ounce of fat.
Do you have a link to the LED Panel Softbox you showed to us? :)
Thanks for the tips 👍👍
Another great video, thanks! What is the brand of soft box add-on that you discuss at 2:16? I’m happy to click an affiliate link if you’ve got one!
What is the link for the Cobb light and box setup shown in this video?>
Very informative. Thanks.
Very informative. Cool.
Great video... but... about light positioning... ¿What happens if you wear a hat or cap? Thanks! =)
Good question! You could try lowering the light so it doesn't cast too much shadow on the face!
Everytime i have white in my video it looks blown out. How can i fix this? I have it on manual mode.
Probably change your camera settings.
This is such good advice. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this.
Awesome video! Thank you!
What about white balance if you shooting your videos only with iphone? Isvthere any specific adjustmens on iphone to get that correct white balance?
Dude your SO UNDERRATED
❤ Much appreciated!
What do you do if you're using an iPhone 13 which doesn't let you set the white balance? (I think it does auto white balance?) Thanks!
Nice tips, Now I realize I made some mistakes. :)
Looks way better without the soft box !!!
These tips r gold
This was a really great video!! Thanks for it being quick and to the point! Perfect examples! And now I’m going to go burn a hole through my pocket to go buy a Cobb light! Hahaha! 😂
There are some affordable cobs out there! Godox sl60 and Amaran 60d to name a few. Got loads of videos on those affordable lights and which is best, maybe itll help you save a buck

very smart tips
Amazing tutorial ❤
Always love these videos y’all put out. Want to do the one week challenge to grow my UA-cam
Hi can u make a similar with this using a smart phone?
Great tips!
I am concerned about the lack of response to questions people ask. For instance, I followed a video a month ago about Final cut output settings for 4K video for UA-cam. How come you get 250mb 4k file size and I get 5.4 GIG using the same settings? My video is only 11 minutes. Surely UA-cam doesn't want huge uploads? What has changed?
Sometimes it is bigger if there are alot of graphics, luts, or effects
Any tips for top down videos or side videos?
Id say a good rim light is helpful. Also, big soft diffusion
@@FellowFilmmaker thanks!
Great video 👍
Hi kindly assist I have a phone overhead for nail tutorials how can I place my softbox for great videos
Wow amazing. Video Info light video
I needed this thank you
Cool thanks for the info
