I used to be the window light only guy! Nothing wrong with it, but shooting TH-cam videos with window light fluctuating in and out can be SO frustrating! Using a proper video light gives you that tasty consistency and will pump that production value 10 fold! Hope you guys enjoy! COFFEE TIME!
Hi plz reply love your work
love your videos!!! Greatings from Ecuador! :) should come to Ecuador great coffee and mountains everywere
Peter McKinnon how do you get your voice to sound so good? 👊🏻
Especially at night lol.
I Will One Day Meet YOu PETE,, SURELY,, You ARe My FAV ,, More Than SRK in BOLLYWOOD
Lighting can change the overall quality of your film/video. It is very important to manage how ever each setup differs from situation to situation. I love reflectling lights from a white sheet & usually block off direct light. Makes a world of a difference. Its a great video Pete, Thanks !
THANK YOU Peter, your videos truly help small content creators like myself make videos that look as professional as possible💯
I know how you feel man has been one of those guys that has really stepped up my game when it comes to content creating I remember when I first started off I wasn't really that great especially the fact that all I was doing was making many blogs about coffee which honestly I was trying to be something I wasn't but then I started learning my voice a little bit which now my content is totally different from where I first started off and I have Pete to thank for that
Been reading a lot about lighting in photography, but love to see more about video too! I never realized how important lighting is until I started shooting video
You know it's getting colder in Toronto when Peter busts out the OG leather jacket!
I thought he was just trying to look dramatic xD
I've been obsessed with leather jackets since I first saw Grease as a kid.
Long live leather jackets! 🤘
th-cam.com/video/1FflkOD4XX0/w-d-xo.html
Why buy that when you can buy a jacket that no one has to die for? It's weird to wear animal skin...
@@c.g.keuning445 What else good are animal? Anyway, maybe you can be liberal today but if you've lived hundreds of years ago in the cold you might not such a pro animal rights advocate. Besides, when it comes to them or us I'm going to choose people every time.
this is SOOOOO good for budget filmmakers! thanks Peter!
Thanks Pete! These 2 Minute Tuesday's really help. I've been needing to dial in my lighting. You're the man!
same for me! Agreed
Probably the most challenging part of any studio style work.
Hi Peter, because of a comment I left on one of your previous videos my channel literally jumpstarted and blew up. I want to thank you for changing my life in such a great way. I'm really grateful to be a part of this community :) Actually lifechanging to me.
With just one lighting is aesthetically pleasing and not over done over the top like other youtbers do. I like to see shadows casted over your face.
So good! I just started and used your older video about lighting to get started...not sure I got it perfect but it saved me a ton of money while I'm starting out!
Thank you Peter for all of the tips you teach us to help us create the best content possible for our own TH-cam channels! I appreciate it!
Of all the photographers I follow on TH-cam, you're the most consistent with cinematic visuals. The one key light looks so much better than over lit studio set ups.
👍
A good friend of mine, the lightman of Inez van Lamsweerde - once the world's number one fashion photographer, preferred to use one (big) lightsource, as he told me.
Lighting is definitely key! Probably one of the most important variables. Thanks for the info!
A very timely video. I got pair of 400W soft box lights arriving tomorrow to replace a pair of Home Depot clamp-on lights with 30W photography bulbs and light diffusers clamped to a mic stand.
Yep lighting is everything bro , good job thx
indeed
*I ALWAYS have old pallets and texture in the background* it makes the video so rich! I often have just a key light and a hair light *but for vlogging* all that goes *OUT THE WINDOW!* 😂😂😂
Hi Pete! What about the Canon EOS R giveaway? What the result? Who the winner?
Love two minute Tuesday. Peter your videos have inspired me to create my own and finally make a TH-cam channel!! I’m halfway through editing my first video now!! So thank you!!
Goodluck on your journey
Peter is an amazing photographer and film maker
@@thelostnomads9630 he sure is!
It's like Pete reads my mind. I've been searching for videos on this and this dude pops this in. perfect!
Man, as informative as these are, your cuts, charisma and humor make them entertaining to watch alone.
The tracking on your graphics is so dope.
Dude u are sooo creative. Thank you for mentoring me for the past year and a half.
dear Peter,
do you have any recommendation for me for lighting for videos, designed for educational purpose for patients? I am doing some videos for patients in the field of infertility and OB/GYN.
regards.
I got two Yongnuo YN360 light wands and a couple pieces of white foam board to soften and reflect light. It's a start they've been great, lol. Make the best with what you have. GREAT VIDEO.
Nice to see the minimalist set up. Do you, Peter or anyone looking at this, have any recommendations for lighting that doesn't necessarily break the bank? For the most part, I'm a window light kind of guy I'd love to not be limited by the time of day. Thanks for anyone's thoughts!
I got a Neewer Bi-color kit with 2 lights and light stands dimmable lights, 3200-5600K ac power and battery powered(batteries not included) i used it to light some of an interview and just highlight the talent. I googled it and apparently they have a kit with barndoors mine didnt come with barndoors the kit I saw ran for 99.99 I think mine cost like 65 or 80 or so when i got mine that doesn't have barndoors.
Work lights aren't as high quality but they work
Thanks for the info! Just trying to gather as much info as I can before I pull the trigger on anything
ah are you taking like flood lights like you would see in a construction site? Thought about those too
@@NolanG1997UltraMineplex tungsten work lights are every bit as high quality as high end LEDs and they have perfect colour temperature. Just make sure you diffuse them
Watching your videos at 1080p are the best feel of all time Peter sir.
Great video Pete! You should do a review on the YONGNUO YN360 Handheld super awesome light and portable. Just picked up a couple the other day and they are amazing!
sooo glad you did another lighting vid- I'm sure this will help a lot. Thanks man!!
So awesome, thanks Peter!
Peter, you are the reason I remember Tuesdays🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thks for explaining your lighting setup👍🏼
Was expecting this so long!! Thank you 🙏🏾 ♥️
I'm not a regular here, but find myself at times binging through Peter's videos. I do love that TH-cam's platform has made it so accessible to learn from such awesome people, even though I don't take advantage of that as often as I should. This is the one channel I value over any others when I'm looking for a review of a certain piece of equipment or learning new techniques for shooting or post. Keep killing it Peter. Hope to someday run into you through the industry and keep learning from you.
I was just watching the audio ducking video! Remember the frozen truck? Awesome tutorial..
2 minute tuesday that is 5 minutes...just the way we like it! :)
NOTIFICATION SQUADDDD... also Dope Squad!
As soon as I am back from college I am curious to watch a pm video!!!!
As always love your videos
Peter I wanted the sound effects you used at 3:15
You must've forgot to put them in the description
I’m liking this because it went OVER two minutes haha. Dude peter - huge inspiration to me. Just bought my first DSLR (canon 77d) and uploaded my first vlog. You’re the man my bro.
So fitting as my new softbox lighting kit just came! Great video again:)
Welcome back Two Minute-ish Tuesdays!!! Just what I needed. I have been looking to change my in the house setup and I was out for my morning run and thought two things 1) Why is it so cold?" and 2) "How's Pete lighting his new setup?" Thanks for the help with #2!
...and that is our two minutes tuesday😂😂.
Thank you, Peter.
Another incisively helpful video of immense value indeed! Thanks so much Peter, marvelous Maple Leaf brother! Your vids absolutely rock! Cheers, and God bless from down here in the States.
I watch all of my videos at 2x speed and i turned this into a 2.5 minute Tuesday video.
You should do a video on how working in photography/video made you a better photographer/cinematographer. All the crazy last minute stuff that happens or goes wrong where you have to improvise to save the shoot, or sometimes when you just can't
Love your videos thanx for the constant inspiration!
This is an awesome golden tidbit of information. Thank you, Peter.
This video is LIT, literally.
You are like our santa on two minutes Tuesday 👌🏻👌🏻
Love how you make these videos
Yes! New video notification from Peter is a must watch!
Omg haha I was literally searching your videos last night for a video like this!!!
I hope Peter sees my comment that make my day!!
This tutorial was lit.
It was really enlightening.
Thanks for taking complex issues and simplifying them in a light-hearted way.
@Christopher Smith thank you for the kind words and giving me this opportunity to... reflect!
@Christopher Smith you really just bounced into this comment section and low-key lightened up my day!
If you need a smaller source because of a small room, don't stress! The closer the light, also the softer it will be!
Love it. i am just learning video for my own marketing. I desperately need proper lighting and only have my bedroom to work in.
I am the window light guy
*These edits are just* 😍😩
I know right? There has been this subtle change in his editing style and damn its fire!
the dim light animation scene + sound fx it's hilarious :V . like it
Wondering on how do you feel that ring when your notification keep on buzzing seconds after your upload. Lol 😁🤘
I actually smile and laugh all the way through your videos. LOVE. YOU.
what light stand/ C Stand does Pete use for his videos? thanks for any help in advance!
Leo Georgi peter uses an apature 120d.
Not sure about the C - stand
In this video, the way Peter moves and speaks plus the jacket reminds me of Negan of The Walking Dead. Just missing Lucille.
Hello from Germany, love you peter
Germany is epic!!!
Most of our recent vlogs are edited/shot inspired by you! Thanks for all the tutorials you make, god bless sir, take care -PM here
Always valuable to see ur videos bro
That animation at 3:17 blew me away.
Pwaaattt sup everybody it’s Tuesday! Dope squad where y’all at!
Would love to see a more in depth video on how to use lights! this one was great! kind of when an episode of a series you are watching ends and you are like NOOOO I WANT MORE!!
What is that desk called? I love it
I found it on Structube in the dining table section. :)
gtfo codeh :)
His videos are on the whole another level on god
“ Pop sound “Wats up everybody hope you all have a awesome day. Remember if u woke up today you already got the “W” 😎👏🏾
nice video, i just started my youtube journey and have purchased first light, so this video is very useful for me. thanks
God damn I was waiting for this one for like 2 years! (And no worries, I'll get better pigeons next time!)
Hops & Bros his carrier pigeon was a Raven!
I always get those 2 birds mixed up!
awesome vid just got my Aputure 300x can’t wait to start working on more projects !
Greetings from southafrica
Your videos are timed perfectly with the things I suddenly need at work. Thanks Pete!
tho you still have a rembrandt-ish light on your face 👌 makes it just perfect!
I dig it!
agree there, Rembrandt do look very good on his particular face. Also he didn't talk about it but that blue back light is also reflecting on his side face, it's very subtle and hard to notice (that's why it's so good) but gives a very nice 3D/sci-fi look to the overall video. I don't know if he did it by purpose but great job Pete!
Every single video you touch turns to gold Pete! Not everyone can talk about a light and make it as interesting as you do! Thanks so much for the awesome tips!
😂😂😂
Best advice: "Your video will look better if its LIT!"
Going back to basics right now 🙌🏽👀
Great video man! Thanks!
Peter back at it again with some killer advice
Hey Peter, ever since i found you & Matti's channels, my videos have improved 10 fold... I never even owned a camera(did everything with phones & a camcorder), now I'm even consumed with photography(something I never considered), I see life through new eyes... Thanks for all the inspiration... Have a great day, take it easy...
What is going on with Peter’s after effect skills lately 😅? So crazy good and delicious to watch
I was just worried about lighting issues and this video came in from heaven!
Thanks so much Pete!
We love you
The light dimming effect 😍 your attention to detail is amazing
perfectly round light = perfect anime eyes lol
Quite possibly your most LIT video to date.. Keep making TH-cam a better place!
Big fan Love from HUNZA Pakistan
I'm loving the post production effects you've been rockin' recently. They are making for some sweet videos.
Nice tips. damn though I can't afford that rig yet!
KB
He's wearing a jacket because they turned off the heat to his appartment!
Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks! I appreciate you making us better!!
Man, I've forgotten some things from lighting class in college. xD That's what I get for not practicing my things every so often!
I think what makes a youtuber famous is their own little "things". For Peter, coffee, onewheel, and that awesome "PFFWHATSS UP EVERYBODY"?? Oh and those DOPE CAMERA effects that we haven't been told how to do yet :D
How did you do that effect when you “dimmed” the light ? Not literally the light but that diagram thing with the numbers from 3:18 - 3:25
He bought it. Plenty of sites that sell those for after effects
@@jimiernola8540 made it, actually.
I love, Love, LOVE your energy. You are a natural, on camera. I'm guessing your personality resonates off-camera as well. BOOM. Heya, I bought your recommended Aperture and the big softbox. I'm coming out brown in my videos. Can you help point me to the best place for lighting and lense adjustment settings? I use a Sony ZV-e10
Totally read this as "How to PERSONALLY light your VIDEOS" 🤔😂
Thank you~! I needed this. It's been a mystery all lifelong to setup those lights properly.
Thanks man!
"Wow, you know what you're doing!" LOL that got me roaring. lol.
