[@juffurey]

I appreciate the video, but is that light absolutely the best option? There isn't another one with a similar price and the same features that plugs in?

[@juffurey]

ah I see that they do have an ac adapter I think I'll get that because I'm planning to use a wall mount boom arm

[@developedbyed]

One more thing I'd like to add, if you cannot afford all the lights, you can use natural light as a fill or main light!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Yes, I plan on doing a natural light tutorial soon! The only downside with natural is you can’t control it fully, but in my opinion it is the best looking light!

[@thefencingman]

How would you use natural light when it's super gloomy outside?

[@farhansyedain9904]

Web developer spotted

[@farhansyedain9904]

That's what you do

[@MusicMan121]

Thanks for the tip my gorgeous friend

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks so much haha! I appreciate you watching, and I’m glad the algorithm helped you find the channel!

[@ZacSopak]

Great video! Love this setup! I’m gonna have to pick up some of these lights!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

They are super fun to have around and come in clutch for smaller product shots as well, easy and light weight to move around the room

[@tired_mom]

I'm obsessed with all of these lighting videos.. Ben makes it so simple. :3 I've really upped my lighting game with just a view videos from Ben. Love it!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks Crafty! 🙏🏻 Glad you’re enjoying the vids!

[@DebzLife]

Mark my words: you're gonna be super famous one day.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Haha thanks, your words have been marked!

[@DebzLife]

@@benjohnsoncreative I was right. This video popped up in my suggestions again. You went from 800 subs to 21k subs.

[@WhiteBerry]

@@DebzLife 60k now...

[@moviesclips2208]

@@DebzLife was he actually on 800?

[@DebzLife]

@@moviesclips2208 YES!!!!
812-40 or so.. I can't remember.. but he was below 850 for sure.

[@markyourpages]

Ben! Thanks for these videos. I’ve been struggling and this just inspired me to make it happen. Thank you

[@multi.d.mensional6993]

This is genuinely dope. Thanks for all of this, you covered so many details. Even though the vid is only about 5 minutes, I know it took a lot of time and thought to develop. I am definitely taking notes.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks so much, that means a lot, it definitely does take time to put together, but knowing that it’s helping people makes it worth it, thanks for the feedback!

[@JaxyBeard]

Just watched your other lighting vid and thought I'd see what else you had. This is great man. I've only started using a webcam so I can't tell you how much this helps. 🍻

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Awesome glad it is helping thanks for watching!!

[@DrYiWei]

And Ben said, "Let there be light", and there was light in my VIDEO. Thank you so much, Ben! Great tutorial!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Haha awesome Wei! 💡

[@spotlightofficial31]

I’ve been into cinematography and filming just recently. As a student, I’m always on a budget and need to find cheap solutions for equipment, lightning, etc. But with your tutorials being on a budget doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore and I’m really motivated to work on my videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! It’s really helpful!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Starting out with cheap equipment is the best thing you can do! You’ll learn how to maximize it, improvise, innovate, and then one day when you have more expensive gear, appreciate

[@VideographersLife]

Totally have to agree!

[@philippeseray3178]

this is dope man! i saw the lighting video also - very clear and well made!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks Philippe!
