Quick Question/Next Video Suggestion. How to light multiple people in one shot?? Loved this tutorial and the consistency with your videos! YOU ALL ROCK!
Oh that’s a super idea. That’s actually something that’s incredibly difficult when you’re working on a low budget. And it’s something I had to tackle a lot. I would look into cross key lighting as a start. It is difficult to get “cinematic“ lighting for multiple people, but you can get decent lighting by using very large and wide sources.
I love how humble Ted is, doing all kinds of hoop and twists to make we forget he FREAKING OWNS APUTURE. Go ahead, Ted, all youtubers use the Light Dome ii. You might as well. Just use your WONDERFUL LIGHTS, we want to see them in action!
The difference is pretty stunning- I swear I learn a lot from each video. I feel pretty confident in my lighting skills, but I still picked up a lot I didn’t know. 👍
Oh damn! I just found this in my recommended. I remember watching Indy Mogul so long ago, I think it was just one guy who did effects in his backyard for really cheap, and there was a puppet or something. I'm surprised to see it still going!
Ted your videos on light always make me feel I just was in a Master Class.Thanks to Casey. Idea for future or perhaps you have already done an episode on how to take a challenging office corporate interview and use some of these techniques to soften up that environment. Keep up the great work.
We actually did a “cinematic“ interview video about a year ago. It might be in their “top videos“ section. Lotta fun stuff there (although I completely forgot to mention having make up or just wiping down the talent for shine🤦🏻♂️)
@@Thats_my_Point LOVE IT. I will track it down. This was such an inspiring piece. Is the reason that broadcast even some networks don't do this is TIME? Money? Dont care? When I saw the thumbnail of Ted and how amazing it looked I was truly inspired. THANK YOU
Dan Halyburton Thanks for the kind words man. It kind of depends on what you mean when you say broadcast. Because some narrative shows will, but a sitcom would never. It depends on the style of the shoot, both visually and “logistically”. Because as we mentioned, and these bigger set ups take more space, more time, and can be a bit more limited in how much you could blocking and camera angle before you need to change positions. Goes into a whole lot of film theory that actually gets covered in a lot of the other videos IM Aputure have done over the last few years. They are amazing resources that I would confirm voraciously if I were you. I didn’t have this kind of online content when I started. Film Riot is still great, but they were kind of the only things that had quality (at a time) that I aspired to. I would literally watch their episodes for 6 to 8 hours straight a day. You have so much to gain by taking even just a week to consuming as much of these video educations as possible
Great video guys. Another good thing about the cove light as you have it here is that it is also creating a bit of harder (not too hard) edge light on the right side (camera left) of the talents face. To me that's what really makes the cove set up shine here. For me one of the potential down sides of the cove is the amount of space you need to achieve the set up. So what I usually do is make a book light and then add an additional slightly harder light fixture (usually a titan tube) outside the book light hitting the talent which can give you a soft wrap on the face and add that nice little edge. Thanks for putting out all this great content. Knowledge really is powerful and you guys are sharing a lot of it. Cheers!
Awesome! Bonus points for even lighting Ted with glasses on. One thing I personally like sometimes doing depending on the look, is having my lamp light and hair light the same colour, and from the same side of the frame so it may seem “motivated” (hopefully lol). Great video!
Yeah, glasses can really be a pain (but raising your lights and adjusting your camera angle can help a lot). Usually if your lights are coming from the same manufacturer, getting matching color shouldn't be too hard. But also, if the colors are pleasant, they don't NEED to be a perfect match. But that is subject to your needs
I was wondering about the glasses! Thanks for the tips! Lights have always been intimidating for me, but this video was explained it so intuitively, loved it!
love how you give all these different examples, gives me a lot to think about now that I know different practical options and the benefits to each one.
Wow! Kudos for answering these questions in a very thorough manner. You asked a lot of questions, which helped elaborate on the answers. Awesome content! i really learned a couple things. Thank you :D
I wish I would have found this when I first looked up "how to do video lighting". Perfect tutorial, best invested 15min of my RUclips Day. Good job guys!
Casey McBeath is a true professional. Just astonishing seeing someone so passionate with such in depth knowledge... this is what I call a real expert. Also how easy he can explain things for the audience (therefore you have to master your craft)
I always love that people in this videos feel really comfortable with what they're doing, so they respond naturally, it cracked me up when they said "how do we change the light? - We... Add a light".
You guys have been putting out GOLD for the last few months man. This is so good and helps with a problem I've been kinda trying to experiment with! Thank you guys for everything you guys do and the hard work you put into these projects! How many people are involved with the production? How long does it take to make one video?
Someone from IM can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I recall, it was just the two camera guys with me and Ted. And then there are 1 or 2 people doing the post editing, not sure for how long though
@@Thats_my_Point oh sweet that's a super intimate crew! And I see you've got your own thing going as well, I'ma check your stuff out. How'd you get involved? Just right time right place kinda thing?
Lets Make Movies these guys keep inspiring me to try to make content on my own, but I have to say, even one additional person makes it huge difference productivity, quality, and timeliness. I’ve actually been good friends with Ted for several years now so we’ve done a pretty good number of videos together here on IM and the Aputure channel
My god! This video is so informative. Great job Casey and Ted. Only one suggestion to new viewers: watch the full video; it's 15 mins spent really well. Even seasoned pros in lighting will find this video, especially different types of lighting set-up being shown practically, worth their while. 5 stars!
Great presentation. My personal taste is the traditional soft box, or the cove light. Is it my imagination but it seems like less reflection off the glasses with the soft box?
You are correct. The soft box is higher, so the light is reflected downward from his glasses. They would need even more room to raise those larger light sources high enough to lose that reflection.
I was pretty aware of everything until the softbox and then I wondered why there was still so much video left. Because of the really cool stuff that came afterwards! Awesome!
Light is an important element in a photo shoot or video shoot. It changes a person look from old to young, poor skin to flawless skin. This is a good tutorial for us.
Amazing tips. I found out a lot of new things. For example I've never tried to shoot the scene with tungsten light set up as white balance to make the background more blue! Will definitely try.
Thanks! That was valuable! Casey, I liked the T-shaped difusion holder that you used ("t-bone"?) but I couldn't find a source when I googled it. And suggestions where I can get one?
So that is just part of a 6 x 6 butterfly/overhead frame. But honestly, in a stick or you can grab onto will do. You could use all kinds of grip gear to make that work, but a simple three-quarter inch square tube you could pick up at a home improvement store would work as the bar. I’ll go without something to hold onto on the ends, you could just clamp the fabric so it doesn’t slide
Great lighting setups well explained. Good you did the direct comparison summary at the end so we could see the differences. Perfect tutorial. Now to have enough room for them! 😂
Awesome video, love this channel. A question I have as a newbie is how of a strong light should we buy? I understand it depends on what you're trying to light. But let's say for indie ppl like me that typically lights bedrooms or living rooms. Is 30,000 lux too little?
Once again, great video. Id love to see more about color temos and gels. Since all my lights are daylight. I can see, from my own stuff, that i need to olay around with some warmer colors. Once again thank you!

I loved this so much, it's very fun to learn about all these different lightning techniques, I love all the soft lighting effects especially the book light, and the cove are so cool
Another awesome episode, no regrets subscribing :) Small nitpick: in this episodes's thumbnail (Before & After), it isn't soft though? The forehead area, hell yeah, soft! But check out Ted's left cheek and jawline area - the transition to shadow is a bit harsh, no? Funny thing, it was quite soft already at around 5:36. Well, we still learned! That's the important takeaway. Thanks so much for uploading this tut.
Well here’s where we can get into a bunch of semantics. You’re saying soft, but it’s actually multiple hard lights. But it’s creating an evenness of his lighting which is typically a negative, and we called it “flat“ lighting. But if there was anything close to his face you would start seeing multiple shadows which is also terrible. But if you were to bring something to block some of the lights to give him a shadow side, you could probably get away with making something like this work
Wow, I learned so much! I don't have nearly that much gear or space but I feel like I can translate this into my personal setup. The back-to-back comparison at the end was really great. Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I have a question and would appreciate your response. Does the spot light always have to be on the right side of the subject? I prefer the left profile on my face and hence wanted to know if I should use the spot light on my left when filming a video of myself or should I still stick to keeping it on the right?
Great video... I've been thinking about more of this staging for my own home office when I'm on meetings and calls for 7-10 hours a day, every day. The biggest problem with long-running setups like this, is heat. How do you deal with the number of lights being used, bookend reflections and bulbs/lamps, without making your room an oven for the day?
hello, very top! speechless! if you are not asking for much, I would like to know which camera and which setup was used: picture style, ISO, frame rate, speed or others ... thank you very much for this mega video:)
Hey, awesome video. What kind of light did you use for the hair light?
That white balance tip was mindblowing!
Creativity unlocked!
Funny both set wrong. Left to worm, right to cold
Two of my favourite people in one episode, talking about the subject I really love learning about! Doesn't eat much better than this 🙂
Thank you!!

Ted doesn’t own Aputure. He is president of their US operations.
