In this video, Josh Hall shows how to make an infinite white background work on a budget!
Dozens of seemingly similar videos on youtube and it's you who effectively explains what's going on and how to get results, all in less than five minutes. Thank you VERY much. That was enlightening in more than one way! I added to my favorites and even downloaded your video to have as a reference.
wow. that trick of taking a pic without the subject for cropping or masking is great
Thanks Josh - great explanation of setting up a white background and some of the lighting that accompanies the production. I've been struggling with my background and now I know, that it has a lot to do with the lighting, not just the white surface.
+Rick August, PhD that's correct, I did an infinite background with a bone white wall and it looked awesome.
Im really sorry I laughed a lot when you said its gonna come on my head and its going to be really nice. God im a child
I laughed at that too.....I guess we are both a little child-like.....
Caught that. oops
I thought the exact thing
i laughed at that too, and went immediately to the comments.
VHI ROL me too hahaha
“Come on my head... that's gonna be really nice” 3:14 😂😂😂
3:08
Thanks this surely helped. Ironing the backdrop is not always possible and makes editing a nightmare. I already have the soft boxes, need to angle it to the backdrop instead of the subject and use some bounce flashes to light up the faces. Awesome.
How the fuck is this cheap?!?
+Nick Manning aye you're poor like me! YAY
+Nick Manning Call a photographer and ask how much they charge for a shoot
+Nick Manning You don't need what he recommends. Do it for $38. Kingso 4 pack sockets (with cords) for $19, get 8 total. Have a bedsheet, duct Tape and a wall? A bunch of cardboard boxes? Aluminum foil (put them in the boxes)? That's all you need. What he doesn't mention is how much difference a good video camera makes. That's your big ticket item. If you don't have one, get one on ebay and sell it on ebay when you're done ... the difference will be shipping ... what $10? Now, go. do it.
Actually you'll probably want to get some foamboard (or cardboard with foil) to help direct some of the light from the back lights so they don't reflect on the person. He would look better if he did that, which he didn't. Also, he doesnt' mention this but you can zoom up on the person, record it in portrait, then insert into a larger white landscape orientation when editing. Makes more sense since you don't have to light us much background that way and since it's white you can move the person in the video around the final frame wherever you want him.
Dude I just spent 6,000 USD on lights for my headshot in a week. This is cheap
Thank you so much for making this video!!! You are a lifesaver I was having trouble with my white backdrop 😭 This video really helped me out!
The best idea 💡 you have me is to overexpose the background so that wrinkles disappear in post, just tried it thanks so much this awesome
Thank you so much! I am going to be doing cosplays with this.
good video. straight forward. i like those sped up edited part in the video making your video not dragging. just subscribed ...hopefully you wont bore me in your next video 😊, for now keep up the good work!
Any way to do this with ONLY can lights? ( I.e no budget lighting )
A decent cheap solution. One critique though. You don't really want to use a hair light because there is no need to separate the subject from the background since the background is pure white. Edge highlights can bleed into the background and actually do the opposite of what you're trying to accomplish.
Thanks Josh! Keep up the great work. 👊🏼
This guy was my TA!
Thanks Josh! This looks great!
Great Video. Love the detail explanation and reviews
thanx Josh .. if i fastened the white sheet on the wall , will i get the same result ?
Nice effort, but you still need those softboxes to pour light on your face. In this particular video, only sides of your face and body are getting a little bit of light from the softboxes. But the middle part is being lit by that nasty looking orangish bulb in the room. For videos with white backgrounds, you mostly need white light to illuminate your face and body, unless if you are purposely going for some specific look. I think a better solution would be to lower down the light of one of those softboxes and have them both caste light on your face from the front. And use several cheap clamp lights to light the background.
Hi, please could you tell me what settings you used on your camera??
Nice!!! I just order this same equipment. Breakthrough didn't even think to take the layer off the lighting like you did. THANKS FOR THR IDEA. Question can I get that same feel for shooting videos from my iphone6?
2:18 is my fav
i wanna ask that which colour is the best for changing background and most of the photographers what clour that are using?
will two 6000 Lumens Twin Head LED Work Light do the job as well?
im pretty new at this. i have 2 questions. 1: where is the shadow? And why is it gone XD 2: what if you dont have two of these expensive lights?
Thanks a ton, Josher!
Hello there,
Thanks for sharing :)
After cropping a video to remove light bulbs that we see. How do you extend the white background with adobe ?
this is NOT a cheap set up
the lights and required support for them and the background stands add up to a LOT !!
but sure, anyone can stretch a bed sheet behind their subject and blow it out //LOL//
Could we just tack the sheet to the wall itself and skip the scaffold to hang the backdrop? Would the lighting work the same?
Love this.. Thanks!
Nice man! Looks good!
Great tips for me-thank you! If I have a green screen, can I make that white on iMovie? Thanks for ur help!
This comment is old as hell, but yes, if you light it properly.
That light is coming on his head.
thanks so much for your tip what type of edit software are you using and what type of camera are you using
Thanks love
thanks this was helpful !
Great video. Thanks.
Josh, I am using the same set up as you and probably the same lights. However, what I get is a darker spot in the CENTRE. Any idea why this is so? I have seen other instruction videos that use a bulb, in other words without the shield around the bulbs as in these lights. Could that be the problem, the hood is limiting the throw of the lights? Thanks!
this was helpful thanks for this video I'm fairly new to video marketing
How about showing we iPhone users, who need to take photos fast and list quickly, how to do this without photo editing software which would be too time consuming. Three clamp lights maybe?
The king size sheet is the cheap one from title
Very useful. Could you also please tell me what software package you used to enable placement of the links to other videos inside yours.
the CFL bulbs that you're using, how powerful are they? I mean what is the wattage or each bulb and light output in Lumens?
I'm using 4 LED bulbs (20 watt each = 2000 lumens) in each softbox but I' don't think it's enough. plus light is not spreading well on the background... it's creating a gradient on the background. Can you please help?
Thnx this helped!😃
this is genius thank you!
Hiya, Do you have extra lights pointing at you aswell as the ones lighting the background?
Or do you just have the lights faced towards the backdrop as lighting?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the video ,, Geek Alert kind of annoying..
What lights are using, how much are they, and where can I get them?
AND which lavalier mic are you using in the video?
How about list everything bro?
What microphone are you using? We are living owing for good lapel mics.
good video. Thanks!
Will this work with umbrellas? I don’t have soft boxes.
I like the geek alert thing.
Hi Joshua, what lav mic are you using for this production?
Quick question. How do you get your back stand?
Which camera you used for recording the video?
Still a ton of shadows on you... anyway to reduce that? Ideally there'd be 0 shadows
Josh.... what is the mic you are using ? and the camera if you don't mind?
Did I hear correctly? 2000 watts? Each?
Will this work with any type of bedsheet? What if the sheet’s semi see through?
So I want o make a video and I want to move my subject from left and right like you mentioned in the video how do I go about that?
please give me the links of the names of the tools used in the video and some links where can I buy them
what camera would be the best for a clean look?
Hi! Did you make another video with the 10 x 20-foot seamless white paper that you talked about? If so, what is the title so I can find it? Thank yo for this video, by the way! :-)
Excellent.
Hello. May I know what video software you are using?
What about the floor part of backdrop can you get that infinite white as well?
Where can u buy these lights online? Cheapest but the same lights
sir wanna ask, can you do the same if i would use falcon eyes strobes? i still don't have the money for continuous light... :)
Hi what kind of light bulb? Where to buy?
Thank you show much..
Thank you
I am using four 4000 lumen Studio Pro CFL bulbs and a white sheet. I have never done this before, but it does not appear that the bulbs are powerful enough to overexpose the sheet and create an infinite white background. I don't know what I am doing wrong or what to do now. The studio Pro bulbs were not very expensive. Do you think they are not really producing as many lumens as the manufacturer claims or am I just not using them properly? They are huge bulbs and I even tried putting them as close as a foot away from the sheet and there's just not enough light.
You may need to adjust the exposure on your camera or adjust the levels in post-production to make the white background clip and create the infinite white background. You could also use more bulbs to bump up the light higher if you feel that is part of the issue.
Can you do this with iMovie? And, if not what software do you use?
The geek alert was annoying :/
+Kimi Hamilton - I agree... It was funny for like 2 seconds.
3:09 Giggity.
Andrew Williams nice! Lol
Hahhaha. Nice.
😂
Please where can I get the "work lights" to buy?
Home Depot has them, also you can get a "y" splitter to make one worklight support up to 5 bulbs..
Home Depot
Where do i purchase the lights Can you please add a link to the company and the item
There is a lot of background light spill on you (left side of shirt). I wouldn't say this is a good example sorry. If the subject is further from the background you can more easily light the subject and background separately.
Is there a simple way to reduce the shadows that are casted on your shirt from your moving hands? I have the same problem.
+goofythumb light the subject form the floor up
What camera are you using?
'really cheap' white screen set-up but need two FANCY STUDIO lights..... meaning its expensive. thats called contradicting oneself in a single sentence
Also requires a camera, and editing in a software. Life is hard, amirite?
Nice video
Jeeezzz, Come On My Head?...I Know Im Not The Only One To Hear That...Ha ha ha Should Be Really Nice!!!...
5 years later... Only us pervs heard it! 🤣
how do you achieve a similar effect without the fancy lights?
+jackieechan111 Might be tough, but you can get the color corrected bulbs off Amazon that don't cost a lot and just put them in some of those metal holders like he did above his head. The soft box lighting really isn't that much off amazon and they work really well.
Will white screen work for Chroming Key??
nope
Thanks.
did you day that light come on your head
👌 super help 4 me tx
How would natural light look on a white bed sheet tacked to my wall? Lol
Josh, what kind of tape will hold up a sheet like that on a way?
Use clamps it easier and removeable
"Cheap"
Can I use this lighting or a green screen as well?
No just google how to light a green screen
MUITO OBRIGADO !!
Greaat
editing program you use?
What do you use?
This is great but what if you want to show your feet too? So, full body
where can i get the black bar and stands you clamped the sheet on?
Cowboy studio has a great selection of backdrop kits that are very affordable.
amazon, search :"projector frame"
thank you guys
You could buy PVC pipe from hardware store and build one using can of PVC cement. Soooo, easy to save money. Stands can cost.
Gem Webb great , thanks for the information
"you can click here" nothing pops up
wow i almost fell asleep watching this
