@@kyleloftusstudios Question: how do you take a video while your whole background is dark but your face is only shown? Like at @2:33 wouldn’t the flash light hit the black sheets?
Easy setups you can do at home with ONE LIGHT: * Flat Lighting 0:29 * Paramount or Butterfly Set up 1:30 * Loop Lighting 2:38 * Rembrandt Lighting 3:58 * Split Lighting 5:27 (bonus, how to bounce the light 6:28) * Top-Down Lighting 6:58 👏 💋 ¡Great Job @Kal Visual! We just subscribed to your channel. ✌
I love your lighting breakdowns and tutorials. Unfortunately they are missing a little on youtube and everybody is talking about what camera setup you need. But lighting increases the production quality by a huge percentage. Thank you for the great content!
I am a 3D character artist and I was looking for some light set up to show it the best way, this video is just amazing, very usefull and straight to te point
Thank you, I love it because you made it easy, clear, plus showed you can do it at home without numerous expensive gadgets or setup. I like your look for setup 1-5, you looked handsome. I hate the last look overhead, it made you look like a clown. It was like a clown-man killing everyone in a horror movie. 😁
Thank you! Fantastic video. I just got myself a Good SL60W and that's all I have for now. I think the Paramount variations look ace. Gonna try some different ones tonight.
Thank you. I recently bought my first video camera and there is so much to learn. These lighting tips will be easy to remember, and easy on the budget.
Man this info is absolutely awesome. It helped me a lot to understand where to put my Softbox & what can I get when the softbox is in that position. Thanks a lot man.
Watching your second video am really love it! You dont teach with expensive gears and that the most likely thing i love about your videos! A new Sub and a follower.
Hi, first of all, a great video! Subscribed. I can’t achieve split lighting effect with my softbox. I placed my soft box on the subject’s right side and I tried to shot standing opposite to the subject so that it’ll be 90° between the camera and the softbox. For some reason, the entire subject's face is in light instead of just one side. Do I need to have dark background on all sides? My room has white walls. Does it cause a problem for this effect? I don’t know how to fix this. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Thank you Kyle very useful. How do you hide the background though? I still can see my background (some wrinkles and shapes) but I want a clean black background like your.
Just found your channel for the first time bro! keep it up! was inspired to do my own DIY lighting setup and make my small room into a proper working studio. Cheers!
Now I know I can create a professional looking interview with a camera + a black background + a light positioned at different angles. I'm much less stressed now. 🤣👍
Awesome man! How does the footage look in post without any editing? I see you used black sheets behind you to black it out but does your video not pick the background up atall?
This is great, thank you so much, It was just what I was looking for! To get the best effect and to control the light is it best to have a completely dark room?
FANTASTIC VIDEO, I learned a lot, quick question: how do you clean the blacks in the background?, when I try to do it I get really noise background,, thank You for the Amazing Video!
Strong and intense light so that the camera compensates with darker exposure crushing any light spills in the background + create distance from subject so that any backlight doesn’t spill into background.
@@AKARafa19 I was wondering the same thing. Does the subject need to be far away from the background? Will a 300watt softbox work? I tried it, but the background is still relatively bright. Do I need to crank the light all the way up?
@@lulumink0 Soft boxes are good for softening and spreading light, which leaks light onto the background. My advice would be to either angle the light differently so it doesn't light the background or create even more distance between subject/background. If you use a spot light you can also use some sort of barn doors/flag to shape the light around the subject. It's somewhat hard to help without actually seeing the setup but my advice is to just try different intensities and different exposures in camera.
Finally, a video that can help amateurs simply trying to improve the quality of their videos. One light, One Camera, Great Instructor.
much love man, I'm glad you find the content helpful

La verdad!
Easy setups you can do at home with ONE LIGHT:
* Flat Lighting 0:29
* Paramount or Butterfly Set up 1:30
* Loop Lighting 2:38
* Rembrandt Lighting 3:58
* Split Lighting 5:27 (bonus, how to bounce the light 6:28)
* Top-Down Lighting 6:58

I love that as the lights change, you progressively look more and more like Charlie Hunnam
Best lighting-technique video on the internet. There, I said it. Take my sub good sir.

Just what I needed. Thank you
best light video in youtube thank you
amazing thank you so much man!
I loved this video! Really simple and easy for beginners. Can you also explain how you did the dark background?
You use a grid :) and you make sure you have a black background. If not try to be as far as possible from the background.
You can do that by changing iso
Take exposure of brightest part of face and pull it down a little bit... There you go!
A very useful video. I'm putting it into practice today. Thanks!
Thats exactly what I was looking for 🙏 Thank you, great video 👌

groovy fam! send me a snapshot of the new setup
How do you make the background look like that? So solid and professional looking?
He used a black sheet or tarp as a background, and probably dipped the blacks in post
Name Watcher I mean with the camera settings and all that. I have a black backdrop and two soft box lights but I can’t get it to look like this
Sindy Nicole ikr!!!
@@sindynicole5924 he would have had a wide(ish) aperture and a quick shutter speed to only allow the light that he is using in

I've done the setup with a shadow on one side and a backlight behind me. On some of my older videos, I tried to achieve the cinematic look.

Great video!
FANTASTIC VIDEO, I learned a lot, quick question: how do you clean the blacks in the background?, when I try to do it I get really noise background,, thank You for the Amazing Video!
In achieving this do do you want the exposure meter as close to 0.0 ? Or is underexposed okay ?
Love this video! Well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Just woow😮
Thank You
love the energy bro, great video, learned alot. Take this sub!
