Great video Alan! Practical, short and very informative. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish you success with Cory. I just subscribed. Hopefully you upload more videos.
I am trying to create this effect but it is being ruined by youtube's compression. I noticed that the shots with you against the bg are very clean. I am getting a lot of artifacts like the shot at 1:22 with the ladder. Do you have any tips on how to minimize compression artifacts? Thanks.
Are you seeing any of that artifacting in your editing software? If so you may be pushing your curves/shadows/blacks down to much. If not something else that might help is in Premiere or whichever editing software you're using increase your bitrate setting. That's helped me in the past
@@calvisionsproductions3753 There are no artifacts in the editing software. It's all youtube compression. I actually tried lifting the blacks because I was getting less noise than leaving them alone. I did some tests where I overexposed to reduce noise. Then I crunched the blacks and it seems to be giving me better results now.
@@calvisionsproductions3753 Not seeing anything in the NLE. I lifted the blacks which seemed to help but it was too hard to control and changed the look too much. I decided to reshoot, slightly over exposing and then crunching the blacks. The results have been better.
This is fantastic! My office/studio has a window that let's in a lot of light. Will a blackout curtain do the trick? Also, for just light on your face, how's a ring light?
Could this black void effect be recreated at night? Just filming at complete darkness and an overhead softlight? Or is it best to stay in an enclosed space?
I never tried it, but I'm assuming it would work. It just depends on your location. If there are a lot of street lights/cars driving by. With the light above you, put either barn doors or black construction paper to stop it from spilling behind you and that should work. Let me know how it turns out!
I need help creating contrast in my videos. My issue is I need everything very well lit as I do top down repair type videos Can you give me any pointers or link a video that could help me?
This is great. I definitely want to try this for the podcast I’m starting. It’s so simplistic and minimalist but when done right you can’t go wrong. It just looks classy. Can I hire you to consult on how to best build this in my space?
Nice video! I'm trying to achieve a look like what you did in the first few seconds of the video (emerging from shadows into the light) would it be possible maybe for a tutorial on that? Looked all over Yt and you're the first one I've seen do that effect flawlessly
Sorry as I'm late to the party but if you do have a black backdrop, about how close do you normally shoot your subject? I know you mentioned with no background, as far away as possible. Thanks and awesome video man. This quick, yet efficient breakdown calms my nerves going into a big media day shoot!
I am also late to the party lol. Depending how your lighting is set up, I'd still try to keep 5 feet away if possible. In editing though you'll be able to bring down the black levels if it's still a little noticeable.
So you are using the two lights you mentioned ..ot just the big one to your right? Sorry confused. Thanks for video. Looks very cool. Very Charlie Rose !
This is the one I got off B&H. You can always grab some clamps at home depot for pretty cheap just make sure they have a good grip they lost longer. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/541127-REG/Impact_BG_B_1012_Muslin_Sheet_Background.html
Well, you are demonstrating "black background", not "infinite black background". The "infinite" part means a smooth transition from the foreground to background without hard edge or corner.
Bro your video is great the problem is your not growing if you want to grow on TH-cam fast just post 60 second content on your yt shorts and add subtitle try to post what people want to see just look at your TH-cam studio. Don't give up on creating content
Thank you for the video lighting tutorial. Please check out Dominic Morrow's testimony, an ex-gangster who got shot and went hell, the real black abyss, Jesus is the only way out.
This video should have so many more views. This tutorial is gold !🥇
My question is how do you edit the video to get the black infinite like that in post

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
Great video!! Thank you!!
great Video
I watched this video 5 times. Great one. The first video I will ever find myself dropping a comment on. I just couldn’t help it ❤
Hopefully it was 5 times cause it was just a great video and not that I didn't explain things well haha. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
@ not at all, it was great and straightforward. It was just beautiful to watch 😆

Love the tutorial. Which backdrop are you using? Looking to get one myself but I can’t find any good options
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VALUABLE INFORMATION 🙏🌹
TH-cam is weird. How do you only have 500 subscribers and not 1 million views? Great job.
I don't even have 500 subscribers haha
That intro is the seller. Wow

This was very helpful, thanks
I try haha

Three things. How far from the subject is the light places? What is the angle of the light toward the subject and how high is the light?

May I ask why you are starting a podcast? What is it about ? Everyone has one nowadays…..

I appreciate it, I've been told I have a good Batman-style entrance. I'll work on that. This week.

Very valuable.. Thankyou
is there a way to do this for logitech webcam on obs studio
so are you using just one light then?
can I know what type of hair light is that ?
That is a neewer bi-color pannel light
So you are using the two lights you mentioned ..ot just the big one to your right? Sorry confused. Thanks for video. Looks very cool. Very Charlie Rose !
In the case for this video, I'm using one key light that's in front of me, and a hair light that's behind and above me out of the camera shot.
thank you so much
What about white background for infinite light
nice video man ! could u plz drop the link of ur backdrop ?
This is the one I got off B&H. You can always grab some clamps at home depot for pretty cheap just make sure they have a good grip they lost longer.

Do i need to edit the background to make it more infinite and balck?
Well, you are demonstrating "black background", not "infinite black background". The "infinite" part means a smooth transition from the foreground to background without hard edge or corner.
..... Well...infinite sounded better you know haha

Thanks for the suggestion. I really do appreciate that!
Why didn't you just show us how to do it? And if there was any editing in post.
bro make detailed video showcasing expensive as well as cheap setups, lightening setups for youtube videos (vlogging, podcasts, teaching,)
#benefactor
Thnx
Please help me make a video like that please
