      Shameless Maya if promises are kept, Canada's population may just double soon thanks to a Trump victory. Fair warning......most will be crybaby, self absorbed hypocrites. Good Luck. 👍

      Shameless Maya Hi! really learning some stuff through your tech talk videos! I recently bought a professional background kit to start my yt channel. Not minding the fact that I almost burnt the white background in order to cancel the harsh lines due to the packaging, should I set my camera on me in order to make the background blur? and also, are your house lights and video lights on while your filming or are you only using video light? :)

    Ladies......."3 point lighting" will give you more flexibility than a ring light or beauty dish. You can DIY with cheap lamps or clip lights with filters using paper, $1 shower caps, $1 shower curtains. A $30 setup can still turn out pro-like results. Maya has a great tutorial on proper camera settings......which is a must.
    P.S. just remember to use led bulbs because they will not get hot and won't pose a fire risk if using filters to get that soft lighting look.

      clyde gallagher Hey, could you please elaborate on this please? 3 point lighting? Filters?

  • @bruxaco
    @bruxaco 7 лет назад +40

    If you put some alluminium folil in the back of the plastic tube, the light won't go to the back, instead it will focus all of its power to the front giving much stronger effect ;)

    I use natural lighting right now. It's working good for me at the moment with my videos. It's just the hassle of making sure i record before the sun goes down. Also, I need to get my camera settings down pack a lil bit more! Anyways, you're awesome!!!! Love you!!

    Such an insightful video. I'm so new to RUclips and needed the tips in this video. I use daylight when I film but it changes a lot and disrupts the overall colour of my video. Got a wide light and spotlight from Amazon that were slightly on the pricey side. I will definitely pick up a thing or two and apply when next I have to shop for video gear.
    Thanks Maya for sharing ^.^
