I've seen a lot of comments regarding incandescent bulbs and wanted to address why I used them. 1. Incandescent bulbs have a perfect rendition of skin tones 2. When you can find availability incandescent bulbs are very cheap. 3. Comparably cheap LED bulbs from Ikea or anywhere else will 100% have a worse rendition of skin tones 4. LED bulbs that are comparable to the skin tone quality of incandescent are about four times more expensive if not more usually. Quick note: You can't tell a bulb's quality on skin tone with just your eyes or a CRI score. Lastly, I understand a lot of you live in places where you cannot buy incandescent bulbs anymore. I plan on making a more in-depth video on the different types of bulbs in the future!
It's hard to overstate that Incandescent lights are basically "perfect" for color rendition, especially pitting them against household LEDs. Thanks for mentioning that it's hard to tell this before getting into the edit bay and working with both that footage and footage from LEDs with bad color cast/CRI effects and comparing. I have found some 300w replacement LED bulbs that have decent color rendition and output a lot of light for around $15 each and I use them in Paper lanterns a lot like this, especially as fill. Love it, keep the videos coming!
Don't try to use CFL light either because that will give much worse color rendition compared to LED and Incandescent. LED can still be a choice, however not all led are created the same and yes they can be quite expensive if you want to have the good one
Welp there's officially two Brandon Lees in the TechTube space... and no offense to Brandon Lee, but I think Brandon Lee is gonna crush him. Great video and looking forward to seeing more -LS
It feels so weird to have Brandon making his own videos. Especially because this feels like an LTT video, but it's not. But I support you! And I hope this goes well!
Brandon, I want to thank you for putting in alternate solutions other than a C-stand as well as showing what phone footage would look like - you're making it very accessible for people on the tight budget which I am glad to see. Many TH-camrs assume you have certain tools and stands and I appreciate the "good UX" :)
I was thinking the setup cost a fraction of the cost of a c-stand 😅 so yea, nice alternatives. You can also get a mid-heavy duty neewer stand, boom pole and a sandbag to counter balance as a more cost effective alternative to a c-stand.
Brandon is gonna become one of those tech and filmmaking youtubers who you stumble upon trying to solve a specific problem or find reviews on a specific product and then you just watch every video they do forever
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way I recommend real estate or crypto and stocks.
Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency, I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading.
trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Fergus waylen, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.
It made me so so happy to see Sophia helping you by being a model in the video! Video was also great and very helpful. I'd ask about this: In many many countries, incandescent bulbs were phased/ruled out due to power inefficiency so it would be cool to see alternatives on that field.
CFLs works great if you add a diffuser (parchment paper) in front of the lamp and add a bit of color correction in post to warm the image a little bit. You might need more than 1 depending on the brightness you'd want tho. I use lamp desks as my lights for photography since it's just a hobby and dont want to spend a ton on lights. edit: and yeah, this method depends on the region. Since differences in the frequency might introduce flickering.
As a tip with the wiggle text in DaVinci Resolve: the wiggle speed varies with the length of the clip. As you can see, the second row of text wiggles way faster than the first row, as the text clip is shorter. You can add two wiggle texts of the exact same length into your timeline and turn both of them into a composite clip (right click, new composite clip). If you then shorten one of the comp clips it will not affect the original text clip length resulting in identical wiggle speeds for both rows :D
Please share with us everything you've learned on cinematic photography, from the basic of course 😀 Added: please also include other affordable solution, like Ikea lights this time.
Brandon's really stepped up his presentation skills here. There's very little awkward pauses remaining, volume is appropriate for the subject matter, and he's letting his natural energy shine through right here. Great job!
Great Video, adding a drawn top-down view of the china lights placement relative to the camera would have helped understand your lights placement a bit more. Showing how the lights pack-up for the sake of portability and management after filming would also be nice to see. Many thanks for the tips otherwise, would you recommend using Ikea's TRADFI 9000K-4500K light bulbs for this ? Or just stick with your setup ? Going back to non LED lights feels wrong nowadays.
I'm not going to lie, I clicked on this thinking it was an LTT video. About halfway through I was like wow they're really trying something different with this one, I like it. An excellent Tut for budget creators.
I’ve seen so many videos about creative lighting and it’s all Pavotube here, Pavotube there, 3000000000W strobe over here, then shoot in a living room of an expensive house. I’ve never seen a tutorial with an example with a reasonable budget that gets genuinely great results with some experimentation until this video. Will definitely try this when I don’t have proper lighting around :)
Amazing video. Keep it coming. Did not even know you have your own chanell. Your amazing and love your skills and watching you as the host on ltt videos.
Yey! first video! All the B-Rolls do not disappoint! There's purpose, there's ambiance, and there's a situation! The tutorial is brief and direct for newbies too. Great script there.
What about using high lumen LED bulbs with wide range of options? Some are even adjustable to make this super easy. I use (2700k, 3000k, 4000k) 1500-2500 lumen bulbs as my room main light… depending on the mood. I use low lumen warm design lights on the side/background. This is just my average battle station setup for webcam use, but seem to work well when taking photos. LED bulbs cost around €10… Some more, some less. For 24/7 video use 150W + 60W is just way too hot but great option when taking photos :D PS. Alternative tip. If you can't use ceiling lamps. Ikea does sell multiple cheap floor lamp options which are easy to place higher if needed + zero cable issues.
Enjoyed the video, though I did find the sound tuning to be a little bit sharp/harsh. I feel like there is little to no bottom end or mid range, and that treble overwhelms the profile. Listening on Senneheiser HD280 Pros with a mid-range USB DAC.
Years ago for an article I built a soft light panel out of Home Depot lighting parts, wood, self driving screws and some rice paper for about $50. I I've seeing irl objects used as budget equipment.
I've had to tell my boss a couple of times, how ring-lights are not the solution for all problems and could even make it worse in a lot of situations. There is just no buying option for good framing and good image composition.
Awesome video! For me TH-cam is my passion project, it's not something I can just dump money into. Just in this short video I learned quite a bit. I loved the side by side comparisons, super helpful. Looking forward to more tips from the master himself! Thanks Brandon!
Excellent first video! I really like the side by side comparisons of the different setups. It’s always hard trying to strike a balance between the equipment available to you versus TH-cam formulas.
Great to see you Brandon! Nice video, and awesome production quality as I would expect from you! I hope your channel here blows up! And yes I'd love to see every lighting and camera setup video that you can produce!
YES!!!!! More Brandon Content...I Love it... 98k Views in 9days... and 20+k subs for a new channel.... SUPER EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH THIS ... DOPE... Good luck with the new channel... Keep it up...
Great video - Would you consider this being good for remote work meetings as well, or would you suggest something else when you're facing a webcam and a desk/monitor?
YES! I've been waiting for you to make a channel for ages. I've always loved your camera content on LTT. You inspired me to make my first purchase a while back with a Nikon Z30. Look forward to the future :)
Handy tips! I need to get some better lighting as I'm relying on the sun currently. My X-T30 can't adapt enough to the frequency of my LED house lights. Also good tips on filling the background
Blows my mind just how much lighting affects the quality of a subject being filmed, amazing and informative video Brandon. Keep up the awesome work, I look forward to the next vid
Damn son... I also made my first video on lights, but where's my 10k subs? jk dude, insane production quality & a great starter... looking forward for more!
Seeing your work reviewing cameras, I always wanted a dedicated channel where you talked about photography. Guess that dreams do come true, because this is even greater than my expectations! Thanks for including the DIY option! I'd love if you could do a breakdown of your talking-head shots you did in this one! Looking forwards to seeing more of your content!
Aw yis! This is what I'm here for. Let's goooooo! Except... What the hell TH-cam. This video dropped _8_ days ago and I'm only seeing this now! FML. Well, I'm here now. 👀
Incandescent bulbs haven't been available in my country (and I suppose everywhere in EU) for years. Is there any reason you didn't go with LED bulbs? A 2500lm (so about 150W equiv) Philips LED bulb is still under $10, so I don't suppose the reason was money...
My ringlight has been relegted to beintg an overhead light for product shots or my work bench at this point. Unless you're explicitly going for that "tiktok" look its so bad
You are not anymore on the LMG Team Page, so we may see more of your content? Nice and good Luck! I really liked your Camera videos, hope to see some of that here 🙂
This was really informative and straight to the point. I've always thought this was way more complicated and expensive, glad to see that's not the case! Great video :)
Is it SAFE running 150W lamp in that PAPER globe ? I wonder if there is any potential risk of fire as IKEA does not state any maximum wattage of installed lamp...🤔
The TH-cam algorithm put your video in my feed today, and I'm super hyped that you finally have your own TH-cam channel! But at the same time I'm sad because I just found out you have left LMG. Wherever life takes you next, I wish you much success, and I hope you continue to make awesome content! This video alone has so many things that'll help me elevate my content creation in my own videos! I can't wait to see more videos from you. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!
Brandon, thanks for the video. Incandescent light bulbs are hard to come by in the EU. (They were outlawed serveral years ago. Reasoning given: Incandescent light bulbs are basically space heaters with light as sideproduct. ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ ) Anyway, a video what LED lights to use would be apriciated.
It might be just me but I have the feeling that the video is originally way over 24/30 FPS and as it plays back at these speeds it feels really chuggy/laggy. Maybe youtube hasn't processed it all? It shouldn't 22h after the upload. Correct me if I am wrong
Thank you! It’s timely. I’m interested in camera setup tips. I’ve an old entry level Canon DSLR, an iPhone 12 Pro & a new iPad Pro as my choices. I’ll likely use all of them.
Ive been waiting for the day you had a TH-cam channel......Not gonna lie half the time i watched LTT videos was to learn some new lighting techniques (I am a full time wedding Photgrapher and videographer)
Great tips. Would like a video on the type of lights. For example comparing a Hue bulb vs the incandescent light you are currently using. (In Europe just buying incandescent is not so easy anymore)
Holly fucking shit balls !!!!! i watch this when it first came out , didn't realize it was you/Brandon form LTT !!, just found out that you that you had left LTT , just want to say good luck and all the best Brandon
I would love to see a video you make on like comparisons, I’d also love your suggestion on LED Wi-Fi controllable light bulbs at different price points, that can be used as practical’s with control over them for the background of talking head and narrative films
Nice inexpensive setup... What about top down type of lighting. I build LEGO sets and continue to try to find a way to light them without having a lot of shadows during the build. Granted if I was doing just stop motion then having shadows would bring depth, but during builds having them is distracting.
Is it just me or is this video a bit too soft / not sharp enough? And the color quantity seems lacking too (plain to see at 1:34 where the color fading rings happen even at 4k... maybe this is just a TH-cam thing?). Love the encouragement and support for affordable products that still offer great quality lighting for recording.
I nderstand that you are going for broad and simple concepts but I'm looking forward for some advance stuff as well. And btw the channel name should have been Brandon light/camera tips!
maybe Led panels would be a better alternative compared to ring lights? like having 2 squares/rectangle panels would allow for more flexibility like the Ikea option while being able to function similar to a ring light.
This is about to be the most lit (lol) video channel for content creation! Can we get a video on recommended video cameras and DSLR for photography and video shoots at different budgets? Maybe live streaming camera recommendations for houses of worship and live events? Looking forward to your content man!
Absolutely great stuff! I have a feeling this is going to be a go-to channel for me. One thing I don't see people talk about much and would love to see your thoughts on and experience with is how using different lighting temperatures affects how a shot looks, beyond just daylight vs indoors, but more creatively, or how you decide what temp to go with if you have complete control over the lighting in the situation.

any tech tips on how to go to bed at a reasonable time?
@@passnaruto1787 Just use a different timezone! Somewhere it is always 8 PM
There was another Brandon Lee back in the early 90’s. But then the movie “the crow” happend. Just stay away from prop guns.
No LTTstore plug though... The youngling still has to learn! Haha :)
Is the video great thanks to its comments or did you watch it? hmm
It feels so weird to have Brandon making his own videos. Especially because this feels like an LTT video, but it's not. But I support you! And I hope this goes well!
It feels like an LTT video because he created the look of the LTT videos.
@Matt561 Oh I know that, Brandon was there since the beginning
@@endergamer794 OG baby
Also is your avatar a chuzzle lol
it's going to be an LTT video but with insane B-roll because now there is no one to tell him no (linus)
Not even 30secs into the video and in love with the production quality. Can't wait to see the types of videos you make on this channel 💙
Same here!
Well he was the cinematographer and I guess editor for Linus Tech Tips, the youtube tech giant. Also he has worked with them for like 12 or 13 years.
So stoked to see what you make on your own!
Brandon Lee and Brandon Lee colab when?

You can also get a mid-heavy duty neewer stand, boom pole and a sandbag to counter balance as a more cost effective alternative to a c-stand.

@@D.S.handle The cat...
Good quality flickerfree certed high CRI bulbs from suppliers like Waveform lighting (other brands are available) would work great
CFLs works great if you add a diffuser (parchment paper) in front of the lamp and add a bit of color correction in post to warm the image a little bit. You might need more than 1 depending on the brightness you'd want tho.

Second option would be to type both rows of text into one text clip and then use keyframing to "type" the second row a bit later

something on the different types of light bulbs would be great! I always wonder why sometimes CFLs are still used
Brandon's really stepped up his presentation skills here. There's very little awkward pauses remaining, volume is appropriate for the subject matter, and he's letting his natural energy shine through right here. Great job!
You can’t buy normal incandescent lamps in Europe now. They were outlawed years ago.
Just so you know filiment light bulbs are not available anymore in Europe its all led lights now, would the led equivalent be OK?
Great first video! LTT has always had a gap with photography and videography content. Hope to see more content on that here in the future.
If you dim your lights, make sure to take a test-shot first! A lot of common dimmable lights produce a lot of flicker when dimmed down.
Great Video, adding a drawn top-down view of the china lights placement relative to the camera would have helped understand your lights placement a bit more.
Showing how the lights pack-up for the sake of portability and management after filming would also be nice to see.
Many thanks for the tips otherwise, would you recommend using Ikea's TRADFI 9000K-4500K light bulbs for this ? Or just stick with your setup ? Going back to non LED lights feels wrong nowadays.
Fun fact - you can’t really buy incandescent bulbs in Europe

Yes to all the “B-Roll” tips!!
Amazing video. Keep it coming. Did not even know you have your own chanell. Your amazing and love your skills and watching you as the host on ltt videos.
If that's the kind of videos you're going to make, I'm glad I subscribed
YOOOO INSTANT SUB
Did LMG made another YT channel? Jk jk! Congrats on being indie Brandon!
Yey! first video! All the B-Rolls do not disappoint! There's purpose, there's ambiance, and there's a situation! The tutorial is brief and direct for newbies too. Great script there.
awesome video. the IKEA solution looks so much better than the ring light; I really dislike how unnatural shots using ring lights feel.
What about using high lumen LED bulbs with wide range of options? Some are even adjustable to make this super easy. I use (2700k, 3000k, 4000k) 1500-2500 lumen bulbs as my room main light… depending on the mood. I use low lumen warm design lights on the side/background.

PS. Alternative tip. If you can't use ceiling lamps. Ikea does sell multiple cheap floor lamp options which are easy to place higher if needed + zero cable issues.
Finding LED lights with good color reproduction can be pretty hard, especially high lumen ones.
Heyyy Brandon.. congrats on your first vid!
Of course we want a video about different bulb types in video production! Can't wait for more video from legendary Brandon Lee 😃
Should do a LS move and rename your channel "Brandon video tips"
Enjoyed the video, though I did find the sound tuning to be a little bit sharp/harsh. I feel like there is little to no bottom end or mid range, and that treble overwhelms the profile. Listening on Senneheiser HD280 Pros with a mid-range USB DAC.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on it with each video!
Subscribed! Great to see you breaking out on your own! And yes we want to see a pros and cons video about different bulbs.
I thought the LTT intro was about to roll in the next moment.
Years ago for an article I built a soft light panel out of Home Depot lighting parts, wood, self driving screws and some rice paper for about $50. I I've seeing irl objects used as budget equipment.
eeeeey! one of my favourite dudes from LTT! subbed right away! :D
I'm looking forward to more contents from you! :D
What an absolutely informative video, I can't believe how much more I learned from this than any other video I have ever seen
Hey Brandon, would you reccoomend using a ring light as your key and the china ball to fill?
Good question
Definitely need a video on the different types of bulb and why led+modifiers can't replace incandescent
more brandon give me more lighting guides
That ring light was a no go for me! Way too harsh.
Why no one tried to explaint this as easy as Brandon did? He makes it so damm easy to understand and provides great options. Thank you!
I've had to tell my boss a couple of times, how ring-lights are not the solution for all problems and could even make it worse in a lot of situations. There is just no buying option for good framing and good image composition.
So excited for your channel! This was the highest quality first video on a channel I’ve seen!

is this 2:1 just like ltt? It is a nice aspect ratio
Thanks for also sharing the camera info and settings, that’s really helpful, and the examples side by side are great, thanks Brandon.

IKEA sells "high" CRI LED bulbs. This would give you the same yellow background practical light look as with the ring light.

Great tips. Would like a video on the type of lights. For example comparing a Hue bulb vs the incandescent light you are currently using. (In Europe just buying incandescent is not so easy anymore)
I watched my last LTT video 10 years ago and Brandon looks exactly like 10 years ago, amazing.
ok now what about dual shot configurations in a maker space with an overhead desk shot. How do I get everything well lit without overexposing!
Why incandescent? 90+ CRI LED lights can be bought at a hardware store.
A lot of em still have green cast, and you may get flicker effect depending on the frame rate you're shooting at.
This channel hit the ground at mach 6, great quality and clear information. Nicely going Brandon!
Holly fucking shit balls !!!!! i watch this when it first came out , didn't realize it was you/Brandon form LTT !!, just found out that you that you had left LTT , just want to say good luck and all the best Brandon
I would love to see a video you make on like comparisons, I’d also love your suggestion on LED Wi-Fi controllable light bulbs at different price points, that can be used as practical’s with control over them for the background of talking head and narrative films
Nice inexpensive setup... What about top down type of lighting. I build LEGO sets and continue to try to find a way to light them without having a lot of shadows during the build. Granted if I was doing just stop motion then having shadows would bring depth, but during builds having them is distracting.
Is it just me or is this video a bit too soft / not sharp enough? And the color quantity seems lacking too (plain to see at 1:34 where the color fading rings happen even at 4k... maybe this is just a TH-cam thing?).
Love the encouragement and support for affordable products that still offer great quality lighting for recording.
Interesting video! Why incandescent bulbs rather than high-CRI LEDs?
Great video! I was recently looking at the Amaran 60d as my first video light, but definitely going to try this approach first.
Nice video, I ahve been choosign lights for my setup, quite useful video
Fantastic stuff man! Looking forward to the channels development! :D
I nderstand that you are going for broad and simple concepts but I'm looking forward for some advance stuff as well.
And btw the channel name should have been Brandon light/camera tips!
Surely incandescent light bulbs of 100W or more are effectively banned from sale in most locations nowadays?
maybe Led panels would be a better alternative compared to ring lights?
like having 2 squares/rectangle panels would allow for more flexibility like the Ikea option while being able to function similar to a ring light.
This is about to be the most lit (lol) video channel for content creation! Can we get a video on recommended video cameras and DSLR for photography and video shoots at different budgets? Maybe live streaming camera recommendations for houses of worship and live events? Looking forward to your content man!
Absolutely great stuff! I have a feeling this is going to be a go-to channel for me. One thing I don't see people talk about much and would love to see your thoughts on and experience with is how using different lighting temperatures affects how a shot looks, beyond just daylight vs indoors, but more creatively, or how you decide what temp to go with if you have complete control over the lighting in the situation.
