    If you are on a 0$ budget, best thing you can do is place your camera/laptop in front of a window so that the window is right in front of you and it will do wonders for you video quality. Add a 10-12$ lavalier mic and you are good to go! I make my videos like that, it isnt studio quality but for most people I think that should be more than enough.

    Quick tip: I had a tungsten light that was orange in temperature. In order to change the temperature to blue, I literally took some Glad Tupperware lids and taped it into my lamp to serve as makeshift gels. You’d be surprised how much something like that improves the color. If you don’t want to use gels, a Tupperware lid could help!

    Wifi smart led bulbs from GE or Feit are about $10, are dimmable, you can tune the color temp, and even make them any color you want, saving you on extra dimmer switches/lamps and multiple bulbs for day or night setups. The Feit's, found at Lowes are typically cheaper than other brands.

  •  4 года назад +4

    Im newb at this so need clarification. When im at night/evening i just should set white balance of my camera to tungsten? But my key light (also have 120D II) will still be 5500. What then? Won’t the image be blue then?

    • @PhenomenalCreations
      @PhenomenalCreations 4 года назад +3

      At night time, if you have practicals that are tungsten balanced and want them to appear as white on frame - then you need to set the camera to 3200K. When your key light is set to 5500K it will appear blue when the camera’s settings change. If you have a bi-color light you can natively just change the light to output a 3200K color temperature. Since the 120d II is not a bi-color light, then you would need to gel the light. Add a layer of CTO (Color Temperature Orange) in front of the LED chip inside the softbox, to convert the 5500K into 3200K. Good to know is when you convert a 5500K light with a full stop to reach 3200K you will lose some light output due to the absorption of the light into the CTO Gel. Gels are fairly inexpensive and good to have in your kit when you want to convert any houselight or just add some color to spice things up!

    • @DodaGarcia
      @DodaGarcia 3 года назад

      You might have missed it because it was so quick, but when he changed the WB to tungsten he also set his 120D to tungsten (if your 120D is daylight only you can achieve the same with a CTO gel), making all the lights in the scene tungsten and looking white after the WB change.
      Personally I’m not a fan of the look they went for though, not every light NEEDS to look white in the scene. As long as your WB matches the key light so that the skin tones look natural, a tungsten light in the background which actually looks yellow can look a lot cozier and more realistic than a living room lamp that looks white for no reason.

  • @JAmediaUK

    interesting comment that house lights are tungsten. In the UK we went to flourecant many years ago. I don't think we have and a tungsten light at home for a decade. They stopped selling them in 2012. Most people started to switch to LED lighting a few years ago.

    • @indymogul

    • @JAmediaUK
      @JAmediaUK 4 года назад

      @@indymogul yes the important thing is colour temperature.
      It's just that in Europe (other than specialist bulbs) you haven 't been able to buy Tungsten bulbs for domestic and office use for about a decade. Everyone is on florescent or LED & I was just surprised that the USA still has tungsten bulbs in general use domestically.

    At first glance I wrote this video off of something I wouldn't learn anything from but watched it anyway. To my surprise there a lot of great tips that I will use when doing webcam interviews, this is a great video thank you.

    15:05 I like the contrast of tungsten light in the background and daylight on the subject. It created some nice warmth and made it feel more homely in my opinion.
    Would work quite nicely for certain situations

    My artist Me Phi Me loved Larry's work so much way back in 1991 that I had to insist on his hire as DP for the 90's rapper's surreal "Sad New Day" music video. I even have a brief cameo, so I can proudly say forever that I was shot by Larry Fong! 🐐

    I know there is also an OBS app for your phone that could look just as well, & probably better quality than the MacBook webcam footage.

    Very cool suggestion video. Given the amount of Zoom video calls I'm doing these days, this would make it more fun to say the least.

    For anyone who has a DSLR but doesn't want to get a capture device: if your camera has a USB data port (for offloading photos and videos usually) there is software that will let you use your DSLR as a webcam via USB cable. I use SparkoCam for my Nikon DSLR and the quality is fine for video calls/streaming. The "dummy battery" AC power adapter was cheap, but a little hard to find

    With canon's latest update, you can stream directly from your canon camera at full quality! no need for a capture card. You just download EOS WEBCAM UTILITY and that's it! You're ready to go! Awesome video btw, loved it!

    At 12:00 ... I use an old Canon Rebel XSi with usb, using tethered live mode with OBS Studio and the free virtual cam plug in.
    I get a resolution between 720p and 1080p
    This works with all my old Canon dslrs: XSi, t1i, t3i and 5d2.

    Thanks for this. Not exactly new news to anyone with a bit of experience, but simple, useful advice well explained. Two minor suggestions - turn the lamp shade on the practical in the background so the seam doesn't show in the shot; and put your headphone cable behind you. Better yet wear a wireless earbud as did Mr Fong; it's much less obtrusive than the headphones (or "cans" as many oldies call them). Thanks again.
