Great video, recently started creating survival content on RUclips, South African here and the economy can make things challenging, along with being a family man I may have to wait for some time before getting a good lighting kit. Priorities and all. One of the best styled how-to videos I've seen on this topic. Awesome!

[@DelaneyMedia]

Wow that's amazing. I'm glad my video could help!

[@yourgirlmae1996]

great to see another South African

[@guynouri]

Next do mikes
Simply
Iphone does not accept 3rd party mikes
Took me days to figure out

[@BracketReviews]

Exactly. So so precise.

[@Rahulkfacts]

Great upload my brother m from India 👍

[@simonrodriguez7511]

Your lighting makes everything look a lot more professional

[@DelaneyMedia]

Thanks, that's the idea

[@pradeepkumarmsreedharan2814]

Use a table lamp covered with paper, shining on you from overhead, slightly off centre.
Use a aluminum foil pasted on thermocol, fixed to a coat hanger stand, reflecting off the table lamp, for diffused fill in light. No color errors then. Mighty inexpensive too 😇

[@FATIMAHALI]

What about artwork if iam filming my work videos does it work for that aswell ?

[@snowelladash9234]

my lamp is like... REALLY yellow. will that still work

[@Izukachan]

@@snowelladash9234 If it's yellow that means it's a low kelvin bulb. Maybe try buying a higher kelvin bulb with the same socket and wattage rating. Individual bulbs cost around $1-5

The bit when you talk about where light comes from, very thoughtful, don't be afraid of those kind of thoughts - it's philosophy, and no one knows what they're talking about really: have fun with it!

[@caseyarnoldh]

Excellent. I’m bare bones beginning and this was great for me. Thanks for making this video.

[@Iluzjonistay]

I liked this video ;) plain and simple

"... Light coming from underneath ... Looks like you're telling a ghost story."
That might work for me.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Great vid! Simple and easy to understand! Just covered a lot of these tips in my lighting tutorial as well, it’s cool to see other people’s set ups and how they are using light to enhance their shot. It makes all the difference! I like your blue practical in the back, really adds to the vibe!

[@carlyramsay5653]

daammmn that's some guuuud lighting

[@camilosapag8197]

You nailed this. The improvement is huuuuuge plus you made me had a couple of good laughs. Subbed! Thanks for the advice.

Great video. I’ve watched a bunch and this is the most helpful

[@JSONSEC]

Explained really simply and clearly. Learned a lot! Thanks mate

[@danielgarrett5198]

Nice vid! 👏🏼 The „from the top“ thing is because ppl. look slimmer when the light comes from above - it‘s just more flattering that way :)

[@KrystalArvelo]

Thank you for this video. It was very informative and helpful in terms of visualizing the lighting setups and being able to actually see them in practice. Loved the cameo from your cat too.

[@warmflash]

I watched your video a couple of times and learned a lot. Thanks Will!

Great video. It did the job of showing me how to very simply make the lighting significantly better.

[@TinkerManMick]

Nice video mate! Good tips thanks

[@responsibleregalia]

I think your example made sense for why we’re used to seeing people lit from above. You didn’t need to say you don’t know what you’re talking about, because you do.
Omg kitty

Great video man, super helpful

[@iiqrah]

This video had really helpful information about things to consider while thinking of lighting set-up!
I have been filming with natural daylight so far but due to uni/work and nowadays the sun-setting at like 3:00 pm I do not have a big time window to film, so looking into getting lights.
I am really tight on budget so I have no idea what I will end up getting, looking into DIY-ing my light set-up if I cannot find anything cheap and good 😅

[@empoweryouthsportsplay2367]

Thanks to the point and easy to understand!
