    • @Suntika
      @Suntika 3 года назад +2

      @@hahahaha-nm6yu same rules apply. It's all about placement. Trial and error. Spend an hour having fun and trying new things. If you're using actual grandma lamps (incandescent light bulbs), and you're using many of these, expect the energy bill to be a little higher at the end of the month 😄.
      If the look is too yellow for you, you can experiment with the "temperature" in your post processing... Whatever software you use. Essentially making the entire video more blue to compensate for the very warm colored lights.

      Well sit further away from the camera then. Jokes aside it actually helps, narrower lens makes your face more slim and natural. The smaller the number the bigger the nose, so typical 35mm makes you look like a Troll. I would use for portraits lenses starting from 70mm. Smaller lenses are better for full figures so just sit further away if you have a typical webcam. If that also doesn't help then try washing your hair.

I plan on getting a el gato key light in the future and doing the 4th type of lighting you showed with the edge lighting and maybe rearranging my led lamps to attempt that last style to blast some color.
