The lighting situation is a hustle for me Wright now I don't have much time to set up everything only a few minutes. that's means my plan is to have 2 small lights light and compact in a bag pack take it out place it on 3pod push the button...

      Monopod/handheld shots give a different look which I like. It's also less hassle than using a gimbal. However, I have been using gimbals in my recent videos. Check them out and see what you think! th-cam.com/video/ubDvE4b4MB8/w-d-xo.html

  • @videosbyeddie9023
    @videosbyeddie9023 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loving the content Rapheal, keep it up! I have a quick question. When you set up these lights are you constantly changing the color temperatures based off the locations? How do you decide which temperature to set it at? Is it based off of the cameras white balance reading and then setting the light to match the cameras white balance?

    • @RaphealPersaud
      @RaphealPersaud  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I set my color temperature based on the light. I usually use the light at 5500-5600 (daylight) so that’s what I set the camera color temperature to. Sometimes you have to fiddle with the camera color temperature when you have different lighting situations but I just eye ball it at that point. I’m learning about a camera app that reads the temperatures for you so it’s more direct and less guessing.
