Lighting is the easiest and cheapest way To improve the quality of your videos Instead most people make the mistake of Spending thousands of dollars on a 4k Camera and I get it lighting can be Pretty scary however with just one Affordable light you can massively Improve the quality of your videos while Still using an affordable camera so in This video I’m going to show you how to Use a single affordable light to get Professional level results and all this In two simple steps and hopefully saving You time and money let’s get into it so If you only have one light you want to Make sure it’s the right kind of light With the right accessories and setup now You have two main options here but don’t Worry there is a budget option that’s Only about a hundred dollars the most User-friendly light out there and the Best long-term value for your money is a Cob light so all of the LEDs are Concentrated right here and this Actually ends up being super bright and Concentrated and it gives you a really Rich quality of light this one Specifically is the small rig 120b I Absolutely adore this light and I’ll Talk to you guys about it later at the End of this video I love this light or You might have a budget newer light like This I don’t really recommend these They’re not as bright and you don’t have
As much control over the way the light Looks however this light is under a Hundred dollars I will show you guys how To get professional results from both of These lights with a really simple hack And that’s Lighting modifiers the truth is when you First turn on your light it’s going to Look bad like as bad as this and this is Usually where most people give up but I’m going to show you how to fix this And make it look good and into something We can actually use one of the reasons I Recommend cob lights is because it has a Universal bones Mount that allows you to Attach large lighting modifiers like This and with it things look much much Better the sides of the sliding modifier Are controlling the direction of the Lights and the white cloth right in the Middle is actually helping to diffuse The light so that the light on you looks Much softer and has a more beautiful Quality to it now the lighting modifier That I’m using right here is known as a Soft box and it’s also made by small rig You do have to buy these separately from Your cob light however if you have one Of the cheaper LED lights they often Come with a soft box and they’re still Only about a hundred dollars alright so With the light modifier this light Finally looks good however it looks soft But it it’s a little too Moody and this
Probably isn’t the look you’re trying to Go for that’s because we’re missing one Key ingredients and that is Positioning all right we made it to the Easy parts now we just have to think About how we position our light to get The right look from it positioning is The main thing that affects how your Light actually looks on your subject Without it you’re not really going to Get the right look and usually this is Where most YouTube tutorials I find Don’t have the right information so this Is how I personally like to do it and I Really like the results I’ve been Getting alright so let’s talk about two Main use cases lighting for faces if You’re doing YouTube videos or Interviews and lighting Products maybe If you’re doing product reviews like me Or if you’re shooting for Brands when Lighting for faces it’s actually pretty Easy you want to have the light just a Little off-center from your nose only About 10 to 15 degrees this way you’ll Have the light on most of your face and You won’t get any harsh Shadows because We only have one light we want to make Sure we get as much light on your face As possible and this is usually where People make the second mistake you don’t Want to have the light directly in your Face you actually want to have it Slightly above your head this way you
Get more light on the top of your head So it illuminates your entire head not Just your face and also it creates a Really beautiful drop shadow underneath Your jawline so it actually makes you Look a lot more attractive and lastly You get these sparkles in your eyes Which I don’t know if you guys can see Look really good it just kind of like Brings the whole package together in Fashion they actually call this hot boy Lighting or Hawker lighting because Everybody looks attractive with this Lighting setup and you want to bring the Light as close to your face as possible Without getting it in the shot and if It’s too bright just simply turn down The intensity so if you follow these Steps you should get a look similar to This because this is exactly how I set Up my light for this video so if you Like the way this light looked on me Today you’ll be pretty happy with the Results you get and you can pretty much Replicate this exact lighting for Products as well however with product You want to make sure you have the light As over overhead or as on top of your Product as possible the best way to do This is pull your product to the edge of The table and aim your light as far down As it can and you’ll get a pretty Similar effect to having your light Overhead but if you want to get fancy
You can also buy a c-stand that puts Your leg directly over ahead of your Product and if you follow that exact Method you should get a really beautiful Look but don’t be afraid to throw in Small accent lights just to spice up the Frame and in my case that’s a 20 lamp But it looks good and I hope this video Helped I know I mentioned that I would Talk about these lights later this is The small rig 120b it’s definitely Cheaper than the competition and in my Opinion it’s brighter or just as bright But what I really care about is the Quality of light that I get from these Lights like it’s a really rich solid Light and this is easily something that Looks good enough to use on professional Projects least of all YouTube so if you Want something that’s half the price Really solidly built beautiful beautiful Quality of light this is a really good Option also comes with a carrying case I Recommend picking one up and as always Links in the description if you want to Check out these lights and I will see You guys in the next video
