Another great video my man. How about a vid to teach small creators how to make intros and outros or any other good editing tips you think would be really useful. All your content is ligit!!! We’ll get you to a 1,000,000
Me about to paint my wall a charcoal black for my studio, and then I run across this awesome video, and the backdrop is way better! Definitely doing this, Thanks for the awesome content man! 😄
Awesome Tips Ben! As a video editor with 30 years of experience, I am finding new life in becoming a content creator which as you know involves so much more than just editing. Thanks for the tips, I am quite a happy subscriber.
Just came across this video. Top 3 videos on backdrops that I've seen. Awesome. Unfortunately, I'm just getting started. I don't have much money, so I need to look at more inexpensive ways to get closer to that look. But at least I know where to go from there. Thanks.
What do you think about doing this versus doing a green screen? I thought it might look better doing this but it honestly looks just like a green screen.
Any tips for transferring the paper onto the 2" conduit? That's a mighty heavy piece of conduit. What about running a narrower tube through the paper roll? Any thoughts would be appreciated! thanks! Hal
My wife and I transferred it together. We basically rolled it while unrolling it from the original The tube has to be wide enough for the background clamps to work with it
This is so god damn fire Great video. really cool idea. Ive never seen those little light sticks, those are sick. really cool set up and it looks AMAZING in your clips
They are great but I’ve found even better ones over the last few years. I’ve got tons of videos on RGB lights like this one: th-cam.com/video/3Z8PIH15XT8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Ben this is great. I’ve found though that when I’ve shot with backing paper in the past, the light from my key light and fill light drown out the colour light projected onto my backdrop. Is this just because the key and fill lights are too close to the backdrop? My problem is that there’s not an awful lot of space between the backdrop and the wall in front that I’m facing, so I can’t put the lights to far away from the backdrop. Any ideas?
@@benjohnsoncreative ikr. My new light just came, and i haven't stopped having fun with it. For the next video, can you do colored backgrounds favored by youtubers?
Your channel is amazing . I subscribed already. Great content great image great lights even your audio is amazing. Compared to a lot of channels on TH-cam. Bravo
Thanks again Ben! Another short and precise tutorial. Unfortunately the yn lights here in argentina are very expensive, but you gave me an idea with white led stripes and gels!
@@benjohnsoncreative yes, we have some strip leds here, the cost is $500 argentinian pesos and the gels is around $60 each colour... while the yn460 is around 35.000, and the minimum salary is 17.000 pesos, sounds crazy but we are in default :(
Love this... However, how are you lighting yourself? also what is the distance of the RGB tubes from the backdrop...and I noticed you are not casting a shadow on the backdrop, what is your distance from the Backdrop?
@@benjohnsoncreative I just got my savage paper, I went with less expensive RGB lights but it still works perfectly. Are you on FB bro? Would love to show you
@@benjohnsoncreative this was great! I’ve been so frustrated with picking backdrops for self tapes and streaming, this gives us so many options! Thank you 🙏 for your help! ☺️
Thank god for this video, I was searching the whole internet for an inexpensive way to change the color of my videos and this one is very helpful. Can we really create all shades of beige, pink or any other color with those simple lights? Also how to create a luminous bright atmosphere if we are turning off the room lights?
@@benjohnsoncreative I actually just did a quick test inspired by this video using a grey wall in my living room and one of the Boling Pocket LED RGB video lights, and despite its small size it seems to work *remarkably* well throwing the colour widely-a possible tiny alternative to the Yongnuo lights?
While using RGB light at background, colors are not glowing as I desired. When I turn up key and fill light, backgrund color faded away, what's the solution for this problem
Thank you so much for this. Can we use this same tip in a photo studio to do photoshoots? Will d flash lights not blow out those LED background lights?
You'll just have to adjust your flash until it doesn't blow it out, I prefer just using a soft box for photography because it is easier to dial in your settings than when using a flash
Question: let's say I have this roller system. What background colors should I get? I'm trying to pick 3 out of pure white, cream(beige/ivory), light grey, dark grey, black, green. Regardless of the rgb light, I'm talking about the paper color.
If you saved a picture of each we could all use them with a green screen as they are nice backgrounds. This would save people lots of work. You do not have the blue background available anywhere do you?
Thank you for the help. I love the effect with the lights. If I didn’t get the lights and had a green screen back drop could i achieve the same color effects?
My intention is to paint one of the walls in my studio with neutral gray, another dark gray (charcoal?) and the other two maybe, white to help with illumination.
If you're wanting to use one of those walls as a background with RGB lights I'd recommend a grey similar to this and matte/flat paint to avoid shine. White doesn't work as well for the saturation of the colors
I'm diving into shooting stock footage of people showing different emotions. It's very time consuming to go out and shoot so I want to have a controlled environment as well with light and my sonyA73 on sticks.
Where did you buy the aluminum roller bars to mount the roller paper on? I have seen these listed on Amazon for about $50 per aluminum bar. If I get a 4 roller setup, that is $200, just for those. How much cheaper can you get them at Home Depot or somewhere else? Also, does anyone know the exact dimensions that the bar needs to be (like the diameter of the inside and outside of the bar)? Appreciate any help or suggestions!

Thanks review riot! 🙏🏻
Great video man! I’ve been playing with color and backgrounds too. This is an awesome option!
Have always found your content just at the perfect
Glad that you found it!
What do you think about doing this versus doing a green screen? I thought it might look better doing this but it honestly looks just like a green screen.
I prefer this method as it's a bit tougher to light a green screen well (so that it isn't obvious that it's a green screen)
@@benjohnsoncreative check. Thank you.
best background idea I got so far. Thank you for this, keep it up boss!
Thanks Doodsilog!

Thanks for explaining why you should get a gray roll because I was definitely gonna get a white one.
Yes I find grey is more versatile and if you light it up with strong white lights it will look white!
That backdrop is dope - Thanks Ben
Thanks glad you enjoyed the backdrop and the vid!
Dope. I’ve been thinking about getting some backdrops recently.
This is definitely a great versatile option!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thx again!
Awesome! Happy to help!
Interesting, I just ask about the background question from your lighting tutorial video, and I found it here. Thanks a lot.

I love your rgb videos. My favorite colors are blue, cyan, and red. I have been doing rgb for a few months and i have another light comming soon.
Great colors! Rgb just makes stuff more fun haha

Thanks! Will it work if the backdrop is white?
Yes, but it will work better with grey
Needed this bro! 🤙🏻
Thanks for watching!
Hi man, thanks for your video. Could u please tell me how far was you back from the backdrop? Thanks!
Three feet ish :)
this video made me subscribe you. THE BEST Video on youtube for the backdrops and sooooo modern and stylish!!!!
Thanks Hansglow! Welcome to the creative crew 🤘🏻
I have a wall in a similar color. Would that work or is paper much better? And that's for the videos man, your content is super helpful.
You can use a wall, the main issue is it will potentially have more glare/reflection than the paper, so you’ll want to be careful of that
Ben Johnson, You are one of the best!
can you please make a video about the budget setup for youtube🙏?
Yes I plan on it in the meantime here is a budget lighting set up! th-cam.com/video/glC7jacXZRE/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video Ben!
Thanks for watching!
For a second there I thought you were going to introduce chroma keying, that was an awesome video
Hey, do you have a video on the camera settings for this type of shot?
I have a free course all about video camera settings that you can check out here: www.supersimplecamerasettings.com
@@benjohnsoncreative thank you! I did this on a black background but got grainy footage!!
Im either thinking of buying a grey background or a pure black!😁I like the cinematic vibe.
@@Linay I’d go grey, you can easily make it black with lighting
@@benjohnsoncreative do you have a video on that?
It's awesome ,man 👏🏻🔥
Thanks Hasnaa! 🔥

How do you keep the color lights from spilling onto you? Are you standing in front of the RGB lights?
Yes the rgb lights are behind me a bit and to the side

@@benjohnsoncreative I actually just did a quick test inspired by this video using a grey wall in my living room and one of the Boling Pocket LED RGB video lights, and despite its small size it seems to work *remarkably* well throwing the colour widely-a possible tiny alternative to the Yongnuo lights?
Great video thank you. Can you talk about how you lit your face while avoiding the light bleed onto the backdrop?
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/roe4w5DYok8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for thisssss❤.
But please can i use a plain white back drop for this?
You can, the white will bounce the light some more than the grey, the grey will end up absorbing the light more, both can work well tho
While using RGB light at background, colors are not glowing as I desired. When I turn up key and fill light, backgrund color faded away, what's the solution for this problem

You'll just have to adjust your flash until it doesn't blow it out, I prefer just using a soft box for photography because it is easier to dial in your settings than when using a flash
Do I need a backdrop if I have a white wall in my studio? Or will the light not disperse as well on a regular painted wall?
if the paint it flat/matte it may work but white doesn't allow for colors to be as saturated
If we shoot video from iPhone 13, there will be some problem?
Nope, works with iPhone too
Question: let's say I have this roller system. What background colors should I get? I'm trying to pick 3 out of pure white, cream(beige/ivory), light grey, dark grey, black, green.
Regardless of the rgb light, I'm talking about the paper color.
If you want to be able to use lights to change the color than definitely get grey
Other than that it’s just preference
@@benjohnsoncreative thank you!
I haven't seen asoesome channel like this

If you saved a picture of each we could all use them with a green screen as they are nice backgrounds. This would save people lots of work. You do not have the blue background available anywhere do you?
Green screen lighting is quite a bit different but I plan to do a video on this topic soon and may try to include backdrop images there

Green screens really are a different thing, you could achieve getting a colored background with a green screen, but they are harder to make look good
