Which setup wins for you? Can you spot the budget one? :D Unfortunatly I have messed up with the brightness of the lights - but I hope the battle was not to easy for you! :D
Which one was the budget one? For me the B version looked best.

Setup A has a flatter look overall, less contrast on the face(which indicates a bigger softbox than the one used in cheap setup). Also the backlight in setup A is set to higher and might be an aputure amaran. Yet the white balance in the setup A looks a bit off to the green side. My conclusion is Setup A is the 3000$ Setup. After all, if you have a hard time which one looks better, that's the success of knowledge and cheap gear combined. Keep up good work brother!
Fabian you have made one of the best lighting tutorials ive seen on TH-cam. Ive got my first interview shoots tomorrow and terrified of messing it up, but thanks to you, you've given confidence i can pull it off.
I'm working on my film maker set up. Your video has helped me decide on a light. As a photographer I have stobes light but they aren't capable of working as a video light. I aslo just sourced the godox sl60w at a great deal.
thank you for the information. i’m trying to plan a youtube channel and know nothing about recording, lighting, or audio. your budget ideas where great - hope more to come.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video.👍 Informativ, kompakt und sympathisch. Du hast einen neuen begeisterten Abonnenten!😊 Freue mich auf deine nächsten Videos.
Fabian, thank you this awesome video! I need to record podcasts where will be at least two people in the frame, can you please recommend the best lighting setup? My budget has been spent on the camera (Sony a6400 and A7III) and the sound (dynamic mics, field recorders, cables, stands...). Now I need to figure out how to get light into my frame. Setup must be very light as I will need to transport it to the spot. Any tips and tricks?
Hi Fabian, very pleased to come across your channel - very informative :) I was wondering your recommendations for shooting interviews but from within a car? I have two subjects I need it to be almost hands free after pressing record with a remote - I need audio too, how can I remotely start recording the audio too? Small tip, I suggest adding a little background music every now and then or some little sound effects :D danke!
I have an interview to film in a movie theatre do you think I would get enough light from one of these lights plus I have some small LED panel lights? I am worried about the video being noisy due to lack of light. Thanks Glenn
Really helpfull and very well done. This is one of the best videos for starters. Thumbs up and I've hit the bell button. One extra question: how long does it take you -by average- to set up that basic set? As a one man band, with keylight, softbox, backlight, maybe the reflector, camera and sound on a location on the road. Excluded the coffee (I agree on the importance though)....
Thats a good question and it surely depends on the location and how much is needed to do. In perfect conditions with all gear in the room I would probably say 15-20min alone. If I rush it can be under 15min I guess. But I know my Equipment and everything around it. On brand new locations I calculate 30-45min and sometimes longer if it is a really important shoot 👍🏽
Hey Fabian, great video and very helpful! Thank you so much! I got a question though. What about Godox SL-60W fan noise level? I'm planning quite a long interview shoot for a feature-length documentary in February next year (my first big project). I'm expecting to get a solid 2-3+ hour interview material. I've seen some other videos showing that this particular Godox and i'ts cooling fan can be quite noisy and I'm afraid it'll get picked by the mic. On the other hand, the noisless Godox lights (like UL60) are twice as expensive. You got any experience with that?
There is some noise - but you can even tweak it (replace the fan with cheap 5€/$ fans) and it will be much more silent. But in my experience its nothing what would bother me in interviews. I would reduce the noise anyway in post and even if i didnt do it its not really noticable :)
Great Video! I was recording interview inside (similar setup), but there was cloudy and sunny day. The ambient light(room light) was changing very intensively. Also, I was recording WB manual.. When was the sunnny, room color changes a lot. What to do in this situation? Auto White balance and Auto ISO?
Hey! It means, that when you are shooting (no matter run&gun or on set) try to position the camera that the shadow side of the face is pointing to the Camera. But Every rule can be Borken! 😁
It is still a really great Investment - you can use it with V-Mount and Remote control it with Sidus Link. Built quality is also WAY better. So it is not a Bad choice! ✌🏼
@@loudmotion5639 ah I see - wasn’t sure if it was irony and a critic 😂 If you are Good, there are always jobs. But the start could be hard and you need to understand Germany 😅
@@FabianBrucker thanks a lot for your reply... Naa it was a serious questions lol. I want to move out, everyone is leaving my country..inflation is at 10.8% lol

Hello from Brazil. Nice content. You gained a new subscriber.
Thanks!
In this situation, would you consider a lantern rather than a parabolic softbox? If you prefer the softbox, could you tell me why? Thank you.
I have an interview to film in a movie theatre do you think I would get enough light from one of these lights plus I have some small LED panel lights? I am worried about the video being noisy due to lack of light. Thanks Glenn
B is for budget 😄✌
Correct!
Thank you, this was very easy to learn.
It's really great 👍 I'd love to see your content
Coming more soon! 😎
Setup A is the expensive one and Setup B is the budget one. Really can’t tell unless you really notice it closely 🙂
You need to use Wave plug-in to clean your vocal more 😅

@@FabianBrucker Thanks a million Fabian. One hour with all the carrying is a good starting point in estimations I guess. ☕️

Cheap scrim or floppy to block out light. Just get a huge black reflector or black cloth to cover natrual light. Sometimes that's the only way.
B is the best
B is the Budget Version ✌🏽
Thank you!
Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
Which camera is best for interview 📷
There is no best camera for Interview - with good Lightning you can even take you phone ✌🏼
thanks!
Great video thanks! New subscriber here
Setup A defo the £3k setup
yesss 👍🏽
What does "always shoot the shadow side of the face" mean?
Hey! It means, that when you are shooting (no matter run&gun or on set) try to position the camera that the shadow side of the face is pointing to the Camera.
But Every rule can be Borken! 😁
Love you man
Haha thanks? 😂
👌👌👌👌
I really wish i didnt spean as much as i did on my apeture 120D and the newest softbox...
Such a BIG investment!
I am truly sad atm....
It is still a really great Investment - you can use it with V-Mount and Remote control it with Sidus Link. Built quality is also WAY better. So it is not a Bad choice! ✌🏼
Fabian, I tried to send you a message on your webpage, and I it gave me an error. And so I’m not sure it went through.
Thanks for the video.
Oh thats weird… didnt get one… if you want try it Directly via mail@fabianbrucker.com or instgram 👍🏽
Fabian are you related to Bingbe Grauge?
Nope, don't know him/her. Who is that?
B is the 3k setup I think. It has deeper shadows and contrast.
Unfortunatly that's wrong :D But it also proofs, that money can't buy a good image!
@@FabianBrucker Nice job. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🎬🎬💯

Why?

Not bad 😉
Are you reading from a teleprompter?
Yes! And my room is so small I can‘t have a longer Focal length to hide it! 😅
I noticed because of your eyes as they were tracking the lines on the teleprompter
Your thumbnail and content game is on point
@@siddhantkumar4896 if I would have a bigger distance to the camera it would fix that. Maybe someday in my own Studio! 😁
Keep up the good content and it will happen soon.. 👍
This is such a great video!
