    Question of the Day 💡Do you record videos outside? If so, have you used a light?

    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.

    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!

    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 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.

  • @JackZucker
    @JackZucker 8 місяців тому +2

    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.
