How to Use a Window as Your YouTube Background.

In this video I give you all the information you need to light an indoor video with an outdoor background. This allows you to use any window as the background for your videos.

Hello Mark, this is from a special perspective to show us how to shot. We could see the swinging leaves, it seems to add more dynamic to a video. And tks for supporting Nanlite products. 😊

[@markwiemels]

Thank you! I love my Nanlite products.

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

This is wicked! Shows how powerful the Forza 150 is! Balancing for daytime light is not an easy feat!

[@markwiemels]

Thanks Andrew! Big fan of your work and your channel! I’m learning so much from your videos.

[@PhillipRPeck]

Good stuff. I always expose for my window when I shoot my videos during the day. I think it gives such a natural, lived in feel, as opposed to the typical studio look

[@markwiemels]

I love the look of your setup. That room looks so cool. It does remind me of a shot out of a documentary.

[@alvin948a]

Thank you so much for this awesome tip on this setup with the Nanlite.

[@markwiemels]

[@mcdicky]

Thank you for sharing. I am definitely need to upgrade my 60W LED since it is not even close to light up my object 😆

[@markwiemels]

You are most welcome.

[@AnythingGoals]

Hi thanks, can this work for an iPhone? To do LIvES broadcasts?

[@davidfarr3591]

Thank you!

[@Zainphotography]

Extremely valuable content.

[@markwiemels]

Thank you!

[@workingwiththelight3119]

The idea is great but you need powerful light to match the light from the window. I personally don't like too bright light shining in my eyes, but for the bedroom like in your video, it seem to be a reasonable solution.

[@markwiemels]

Yes, agree, it works in some situations better than others.

[@TWpod]

thank you

[@IceColdFever3520]

Would it be possible to have to background and urself in focus at the same time? (so no bokhe)

[@PrinceBoadu]

What tripod are you using for the light?

[@CountessLouLou]

I’m using my phone to livestream and the background always looks good, but there’s not enough light on me. I’ve tried using a ring light, but was bothered by the reflection in the window. I’m wondering if a large reflector might help? Or should I just invest in this light and soft box?

[@markwiemels]

Try with the ring light high up and out of shot like I have done with the light in this video, it might work for you and eliminate the reflection.

[@ozsmiley07]

Was this filmed in suburban Australia by any chance?

[@markwiemels]

Yes.

[@yutvideo]

@@markwiemels Definitely looks like a Melbourne street. I came here because I did a little video about filming in front of windows a few years ago, also in Melbourne. th-cam.com/video/zSyM491JWZw/w-d-xo.html

[@markwiemels]

Yep, are you still Melbourne Based?

[@yutvideo]

@@markwiemels Yep, based in Windsor but work all around the country. How about you? Were you visiting or based here?

[@mohammedgayasuddin2254]

What if someone wants to click photos with this location?

[@wwonders3]

[@markwiemels]
