Watching videos from 2019 then coming back to the older ones really shows me how much you have grown! Your whole personality lights up a room and you seem so much more comfortable on camera now! It's great seeing such a great person blossom like you have Pete. Keep doing what you love and keep making great videos to make people like me happy and intrigued :)
I use pot lights ($8 at Walmart?) with some LED bulbs ($5 for a pack of 3?) and I literally made some softboxes out of cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, parchment paper, and matte black spray paint and they work like a charm. I've done a little product photography and it looks great.
the best part of watching your old videos is seeing the comments "you're underrated, you deserve a million subscribers!"...love this. such a great motivator to me. thanks for being great.
My 4 kids (2-9yrs) want to start a TH-cam channel and of course this mama is somewhat clueless when it comes to filming and photography so trying to graps and learn as much as I can so we can get these kids started on this. Thanks for another great helpful video! I agree with others found my favorite channel
You have completely rejuvenated me. I've lost most of my desire to film over the past few years but I just watched about 40 of your videos. You have brought me back to living filming. Thank you for that. You have a new fan.
It's so crazy to see the quality and production difference between your videos from when I first started watching you to now. Amazing, man! Give me so much hope.
Finally, a serious and direct lighting solution video. So many other people are like "oh get THIS brand of light and get a lightbox, and get these other pieced of kit. Dont worry its only 200$. I just need something to get started so i can invest in the big things. Many thanks Peter!
I'm so glad I found this channel. I haven't come across a video yet that wasn't full of helpful tips that I can use in not only my photos, but videos as well. Thanks Peter!!
As a DIY guy that remodels stuff around the house I've been wanting to change out my dual head halogen lights on a work stand to LED ecause they are so hot. Now I have another excuse to do so because I can use the LEDs for household remodeling projects as well as making videos. So, the video may be a few years old but still providing value. Thanks Peter for creating and posting it.
Great video Peter! I find lighting so intimidating. This video has really made me feel more at ease with the concept. I can’t get enough of your videos - I discovered you about two weeks and can’t get enough of your content! Thank you.
Would love to see a tutorial on how you made your intro (00:09-00:14). It's amazing how well you introduce your stuff with that 5 sec clip! A lot of people make them longer but I really like the short, precise, and informative look of yours.
This is the first video I saw from Peter, subbed right away. It's funny seeing it now and how much his channel has grown. Love seeing when good creators/people make it big!
I fell for it. I was watching this thinking, whoa this lighting set up! Must be one of his earlier TH-cam videos before he became Master McKinnon and then BAM 💥 perfect lighting 😂Great Video as usual.
I can't stress this enough... I hardly EVER subscribe to a channel, but this guy! Simple, Informative and Effective. Out of the hundreds of videos I've watched, this is handsdown the best. Subscribed! Keep it comming, I'd love to see the ISO, shutter and setiings you used. Regardless, thanks fir the upload, keep posting stuff like this mister
thank you!!! this is exactly what i needed! something good and cheap. and i was about to do 2-3 day research to figure out the best price to quality ratio DIY Lights but now i can relax, watch your video and the best part is that i know whatever you will show us will be really good and useful. thank you for giving us so many good advices
Man, Peter McKinnon, your B roll video brought me here. Between the two, I feel like I just took a $1000.00 course on video making. Thanks man. Hands down the best and most information I've gathered from TH-cam to date.
Super-useful 'Lighting 101' tutorial, Peter. This should be required viewing for all beginning photographers and videographers! I studied lighting in college (many, many years ago) and the setup you advocate is exactly like the makeshift rig I used at home to produce my class assignments. It's a bit rough, but with time and practice some very impressive results can be achieved. Thanx again! 👏👍
I just brought a light setup today and it's crazy how much difference it likes, I haven't even added diffusers or gels or anything so it's going to look even better when I'm finished but the difference is crazy already
Man this video is so underrated! I think the thumbnail scares people cause it kind of looks like a really high production value when the whole point was to make this a cheap and easy tutorial. perhaps you just could've had a side by side comparison of before and after the lights where turned on.
I'm just starting out and found your channel/tutorials. Super helpful for a new youtuber looking to start upping the quality of their videos. Thanks for showing all of these easy to follow and understand setups.
PLEASE, IN THE ODD CHANCE YOU SEE THIS please make more videos like this for us low budget folk, we strive to make videos like you and tips like this give us leaps and bounds in our quality
Thanks Peter! I just tried this with a work light and some stuff I had at home (including a LED bike light as a rim light!) and my videos look 10X better. This is by far the easiest, cheapest hack yet :)
Dope! I would cut the time buy building the box first then spray painting it black and adding the aluminum after its built , and also paint the PVC pipes black for a cleaner look , over all great job !
Really good ideas here. I think you should make a separate playlist dedicated to diy ideas and improvisations. You don't really know about this stuff until you're in a position where you gotta make do. Really fun to see
Awesome tips! Thanks so much. Others show very expensive and out of reach setups. I just want something simple, practical for my small space. Thanks again!
I''m too lucky that i found this amazing channel!! peter you are inspirational!!i'm watching his videos from last two days and i can't stop myself because i'm getting this much knowledge at one place! thank you so much man!
It's so weird seeing this in 2020. Woah, Peter! 🤯

Super Weird

You can't just leave us hanging like that
Please post a video on how you did this!
the best part of watching your old videos is seeing the comments "you're underrated, you deserve a million subscribers!"...love this. such a great motivator to me. thanks for being great.
you're underrated, you deserve a million subscribers!
Prince Andfernee you are so right

I appreciate that! Cheers :)
You are growing crazy fast bro! When I subbed, you were at less than 10k. Crazy what good content does, huh? Cheers!
Prince Andfernee he deserves nothing... and that's how its going to stay. woodstocks over bitches
Watching this video in 2021... Wherever you are man, I love you 🤗
My 4 kids (2-9yrs) want to start a TH-cam channel and of course this mama is somewhat clueless when it comes to filming and photography so trying to graps and learn as much as I can so we can get these kids started on this.

Erika P. what is their channel?
Parents like you are the best kind
You have completely rejuvenated me. I've lost most of my desire to film over the past few years but I just watched about 40 of your videos. You have brought me back to living filming. Thank you for that. You have a new fan.
i miss this Peter Mckinnon
For sure. These were the days.
Why?
Why?
this video is proof that it's the artist, not the tools, that really make the difference. thanks!
The main reason I watch this channel is because *Peter* seems like *a really nice guy* . I feel *happy* watching his videos.
also you can learn something too
Yeah thats true
he understands the ghetto-solution culture
Watching Peter’s evolution; 4 years makes a difference. From talented to polished.
It's so crazy to see the quality and production difference between your videos from when I first started watching you to now. Amazing, man! Give me so much hope.
Hands down undisputed King of the B Roll 🙏🏽👏🏾
The Only problem with your channel is that there aren't more videos... Thank you for an absolutely amazing channel!
Finally, a serious and direct lighting solution video. So many other people are like "oh get THIS brand of light and get a lightbox, and get these other pieced of kit. Dont worry its only 200$. I just need something to get started so i can invest in the big things. Many thanks Peter!
I'm so glad I found this channel. I haven't come across a video yet that wasn't full of helpful tips that I can use in not only my photos, but videos as well. Thanks Peter!!
Happy to help!
He hit 6M subs, this shows the hard work and the consistency, doesn't matter what gear you use, it all works out in the end!
I think I just found my favuourite photography/film channel. You deserve more recognition, man! keep it up!
Zeptic he's my favourite too!
You're awesome!
More recognition he got.
Well he got the recognition allright
This aged well
Nice to see some of your older stuff. You're way more 'approachable'. Appreciate that videos like this still have value.
I love your enthusiasm towards photography. Keep doing what you are doing 😀👍

No, Peter, YOU have a great day!
I'm learning tons from your vids, since I'm new to photography, and you're entertaining. Keep it up!
There's a reason why you're KING of all things, TH-cam. Now we all know why. Great tutorial.
The comment section is so chill here I love it
+Koegon That's whassup!
What a twist oliver
Looking this back in 2022 is somehow humbling ... just make me realize, that it needs baby steps to get far or big ... love this
Great video Peter! I find lighting so intimidating. This video has really made me feel more at ease with the concept. I can’t get enough of your videos - I discovered you about two weeks and can’t get enough of your content! Thank you.
Thanks Peter! I'm working on upping my channel quality, and I'm confident these lighting tips will help! 😊
Would love to see a tutorial on how you made your intro (00:09-00:14). It's amazing how well you introduce your stuff with that 5 sec clip! A lot of people make them longer but I really like the short, precise, and informative look of yours.
Easily the best DIY budget light tutorial on TH-cam
Are u bradley coopers brother?
hahahaha
Who is cooper ? He is peter
Bradley Cooper X Matthew McConaughey
First video I ever saw of him, been with him ever since
Watching this video in 2019. It so much fun!
It’s so weird seeing this in 2022. Woah, Peter! 😁👏🏻
can you make a video on how to light products?
My sort of tip! DIY is definitely the best - makes you appreciate what you have so much more!!
im just watching this now?
this is the most practical...
I'm new, so going through all your old videos.... I'm getting adds for every video, and I'm watching them ALLLLL
Thanks, Pete.
Cheers, bud

Hi from New Zealand and thanks for your awesome videos 👍🏻
Hands down the best budget lighting setup 🥂✌️
Thanks for this. First lighting video that has been useful to me!
Seeing this in 2022 tells me this legend has come from far. No human is limited!
any tips for getting the confidence to film in public in a vlog format?
It can be tough at first! It was 100% weird for me when I started - Perhaps I'll do a video on that.
Peter McKinnon that'd be cool thanks
@Peter I'd love to see that video. Especially as a non-native English speaker. :D
I don't vlog but I'd imagine getting comfortable vlogging by yourself would be a good start.
Just do it and ignore what people think. It's not easy in the beginnig but you get over it
Reading this now that he has almost 6 mil!! Congrats!
Awesome work why don't u show your hairstyle tutorial😉
lol put on a baseball cap for a while and u got it

The suspense is killing me!
Nailed it, Peter - this is a must-see video for anyone doing Zoom who wants a professional look without the expense. Thank you.
Who needs to pay for photography classes when we have P. Mac Academy here!
Man, Peter McKinnon, your B roll video brought me here. Between the two, I feel like I just took a $1000.00 course on video making. Thanks man. Hands down the best and most information I've gathered from TH-cam to date.
congrats on growing on youtube. keep it up. !
Decided to create a cinematic lighting setup for less than $100. inspired by this, one of my first videos! Thanks for the content. So cool! Stay safe
Just so great details to learn. Thanks for sharing and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
This is my favourite photography channel!
2019 anyone? Thanks TH-cam I actually needed help with my lighting set up 😂😂
Pete... you have come SO far. THANK You, for being you. Cheers
I saw the first three seconds of this video and my brain was like "what the hell happened to Peter??"
Super-useful 'Lighting 101' tutorial, Peter. This should be required viewing for all beginning photographers and videographers! I studied lighting in college (many, many years ago) and the setup you advocate is exactly like the makeshift rig I used at home to produce my class assignments.

bro i am watching this 2019!!!
I just brought a light setup today and it's crazy how much difference it likes, I haven't even added diffusers or gels or anything so it's going to look even better when I'm finished but the difference is crazy already
*I need to get this setup...*
Man this video is so underrated! I think the thumbnail scares people cause it kind of looks like a really high production value when the whole point was to make this a cheap and easy tutorial. perhaps you just could've had a side by side comparison of before and after the lights where turned on.
I almost clicked away because I thought that was your real lighting setup at the beginning. lol
Oh how times have changed 😂
Always love watching your videos Pete! 2022 and still enjoying a 5 year old content.
BRO U MADE MY LIFE 78644356 EASIER THANKS
High Five!
Loving some of the old videos PM. Always so cool to see some of the earlier videos from people’s channels 👍🏻
Liked and commented

Thanks peter for all your info. I’ve been so inspired by you and Casey. I’m starting up a channel in January because of you two. Thanks again.

Helpful, makes it work, genuine and you seem like a wonderful guy. Thank you for this video man. Keep it going.
Mannnnnn I was just looking at those husky lights the other day and walked away because I didnt know how they would look on cam! thats great!

One of the most awesome reviews I have ever seen.Keep it up CHAMP
I learned so much about lighting just from this one video! You really should have a TV show (my bad if you already have one). Thanks!
I knew Pete would have something on lighting now that I'm learning, I remember watching this video when it came up .
the way you deliver the information is just so good. what a great teacher
I''m too lucky that i found this amazing channel!! peter you are inspirational!!i'm watching his videos from last two days and i can't stop myself because i'm getting this much knowledge at one place! thank you so much man!
I'm looking at your old videos, it's crazy how your quality went up so quickly! This video looked good but your newer videos are just wayyyy better.
I can really feel your passion and willingness to help beginners like me. Keep it up!
I guess this weekend, am watching all videos from previous years. And am gonna use this setup. Awesome videos. Thanks Pete.
Your personality is great, man and I love the delivery of your videos. Keep it up - make more please! 😃
We need more videos like this, Pete.
Wow never knew I'd be able to mess with lighting for so cheap. Can't wait to try it out for my next video!
roughly two days out from the new year......Awesome stuff :)....cool to see how much Peter has grown in his videos... :)
