      "Hi Ben Johnson, Thank you for sharing valuable information.
      If we don't have a light source that allows us to adjust its brightness, how can we effectively use lighting for our RUclips videos?
      Should we aim for low, medium, or bright lighting?"

Simple changed by a game changer for the look of my videos. Helped me not obsess over needing to buy a more expensive background and need to film in an expensive studio

    Now, 5 Months later, right after ordering some new lights I want to thank you again. I moved into a new apartment and set up my home office with this in mind. Although I only had some basic lights I made stunning improvements. I chose the darkest room and build up the lights step by step. it just looks awesome and I love not to blur my background in my meetings. I hear "wow" your office looks amazing" quite a few times per week and I feel super good about that. I am planning to launch even a YT channel now since everything looks better now. So, thanks again, mate!

    I've implemented all of these lighting techniques recently. Doing this (along with switching from a 4k camcorder that gives NO separation - i.e. bokeh - to a Sony a7s ii with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8) has made my videos go from looking homemade to professional!
    Investing in good audio is a must as well! Just now starting to see the fruits of my labor (and A/V investment).

I have to say that I've been doing this over a month daily and yours is the best!.

    What i like to do with my fill light is to put it kind of far from the subject, with a more yellowish colour than the key light. This helps with making the footage more natural and in fact more happy. This is because the light is acting like a window, and it looks like it's sunny otside (wich is a happyish weather i guess)

    • @benjohnsoncreative
      @benjohnsoncreative  3 года назад +1

    • @mistermastermind528
      @mistermastermind528 3 года назад +2

      It's going to be similar to this. You just need to study on how lighting will affect that angle in the camera where you focus on the cooking itself.
