[@leanwithdean]

Absolutely sick! Lighting really does change everything

[@FulaanCreative]

For real though. Thanks Dean!

[@paulstoma]

Hey man. I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching your videos recently. I really like your videos to say the least. I think if you keep going hard, you can have one of those really good youtube channels. You're very smart and well spoken too. Thanks for everything.

[@FulaanCreative]

I appreciate that!

[@muddybabykennels3959]

I appreciate you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@FulaanCreative]

Likewise!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great little short video on lighting. I have that SmallRig light as well. And I liked how you kept the video short yet effective. Some creators would drone on for 10 minutes just so they can get those advertising dollars. Of course, I want you to have a successful channel. So, I appreciate it when you help out others without grasping for more.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks man! I always appreciate your thoughtful comments.

[@sizzleserveyum]

Dude this is perfect. I don't have these lights but I think that umbrella light will help with reducing the bright lighting I already have

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@JakeAussie-bs3lx]

Great vid mate

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks 👍

[@salah.1157]

[@cmshn]

Eline sağlık güzel video olmuş

[@FulaanCreative]

Teşekkürler! Bunu takdir ediyorum.

[@KelvoVEVO]

Amazing tips! If I use the cinestyle profile on my videos from canon m50 will your luts work better on them(just bought them 😊)

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! Yes for sure. They will work. Check out this video for help ruclips.net/video/FwmNi0LhwPI/видео.html

[@Shipwrckdntweetin]

Mastetful!!! I just moved to a place where the walls are BRRRRIGHT. Not much ya can do there without bringing in equipment😢??

[@markelovett]

Did you do a video on how you chose Resolve over PP and FCP yet?

[@FulaanCreative]

I did a few years back. The main reason was that both premiere and Final Cut didn't work well on my 2019 Macbook Pro while Resolve real smooth.

[@blackmarketoutpost]

Fantastic video what distance and height do you recommend the key light thanks I have a few videos on my channel it would be Awsome if could skim through and tell me what you think about my lighting situation thanks

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! I like the key light about 2 feet higher than head level and usually as close as possible. I checked out your channel. The lighting is great. Everything is well lit which is very suitable for the content of your vids.

[@blackmarketoutpost]

@@FulaanCreative thank you for the info

[@markelovett]

Nice work! I’m coming from a still photography background new to video. How is Lightroom used to change video color? I thought it was only stills. What video editing software do you use?

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! I use davinci resolve for color grading video. I use Lightroom & Luminar Neo for photos.

[@markelovett]

@@FulaanCreative That cool video lighting color effect was achieved in Resolve not Lightroom correct?

[@markelovett]

@@FulaanCreative Do you use Resolve ( as opposed to Premium pro or Final Cut for editing your video (besides color) as well?

[@PandaBewok]

I'm still confused about the softbox for the keylight, is it better for lantern or octa grid honeycomb? someone said, lantern can smooth the face

[@FulaanCreative]

They are all good just slightly different applications.

[@nikovelikov]

Hey dude, I have the sl60 gooddox. What will be a reasonable next step update? I want something better more powerful, but also less noisy iwhtout breaking the bank hahah

[@FulaanCreative]

What's up Niko? I like the SmallRig RC 120b. There is a company called ifootage that also make some very nice lights.

[@ladanaz7643]

[@caydruusxaaji]

Which camera are you using Sir ?

[@FulaanCreative]

Lumix S5 II

[@fabritorrens]

Just with the lightning you have more money than my car costs

[@FulaanCreative]

I doubt that. All these lights would cost less than $1000

[@fabritorrens]

@@FulaanCreative wooow 😱

[@60fpsadmin59]

What is the color and temperature of your key light?

[@FulaanCreative]

5600 k

[@perfectibilist]

Your Softbox link is showing an error.
….a heads up.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks man! I appreciate you looking out like that.

[@radek1cihak]

Good, useful, practical - I'm just missing examples of how to work with it and most importantly: how to make a mistake in lighting.

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks! Yeah I didn't want to go in too deep in this vid. If it is well received I'll make a follow up with more details in the future.

[@FulaanCreative]

whatever you like

[@to6616]

I like most of your videos that are not so "commercially oriented" OK you wanna get rich, me too but c'mon you degrade such wonderful information you present by highlighting items that are pricey to say the least. Oh well, I'll look at more of your videos in the hope that you will present more PRACTICAL info rather than touting various Chinese companies and their goods.
