Cheap & Easy Lighting Tutorial for Your Videos #Best Education Page #Online Earning

 So a lot of people ask me, "Pat, what kinds

of equipment do you use for your videos?"

Well, all that stuff, which I know

isn't really practical for those

of you who are at home and shooting videos

for your own YouTube videos, or even online courses.

But in this video, I wanna show you

a super simple setup with the help of Caleb here,

who's actually going to be filming with an iPhone,

which will be a view that you see,

which you should see right now.

Hey everybody.

How to film something of quality

that is YouTube and/or video course worthy.

So stick around.

Alright, so Caleb, before we set this up

I wanted to ask you a couple things.

Is an iPhone or an Android, Samsung or whatever...

Are those cameras good enough now

to film-- - Plenty. Plenty good enough.

- Okay, the second question on lighting:

do we need to buy lights or get lighting

in order to have good quality video?

- The only thing buying lights does

is it makes it consistent, so you

can film at any time of the day,

but if you don't have the money

for a light, or you don't want

to spend money on a light, you can use natural light

and use the biggest window in your house.

- Okay, so if we were going to film a course here,

but we didn't have all this equipment,

where would you recommend we go?

And hopefully people might have an equivalent

or something similar at their house.

- I would go to the biggest windows,

and I would go to the front green room,

the planning room there, 'cause there's windows

all on one side, and sometimes I don't even

bring lights in there, we just film using the window.

- Alright, let's go.

We're gonna use the iPhone and see what it looks like.

(upbeat funky music)

Okay, so here's the room that we're in right now.

We call this the green room 'cause there's green things

in here but-- - [Caleb] So the first thing I

would do, is I would turn off the lights.

- Turn off the lights.

- Yeah. - Why?

- 'Cause the overhead fluorescent

lights, they look like junk.

If they're on, like, it's a weird color,

it gives you weird shadows under your eyes.

Turn off the lights, that'd be the first step.

- Okay - Second step would be, right

now all the blinds are actually

closed, so I would just open 'em up.

- [Pat] Okay, that's easy - Yeah?

- [Pat] Not really a nice view out there.

- Oh, the dumpster? Yeah.

But, if you look this way now, it's nice soft light--

- [Pat] Oh, you meant this way.

- [Caleb] Yeah, nice soft light.

You would have to pay a lot of money

to get enough lights to make something this size,

and this soft and beautiful, so window light.

- [Pat] Okay. - Third thing: clouds.

If it's a cloudy day, partially cloudy,

mostly cloudy, that will impact your filming

because the lighting is gonna change.

So, ideally, you either film on a day

that's completely cloudy and overcast,

or a day that's completely sunny.

It's these partially cloudy days that you kinda just have

to pay attention to the lighting changing,

that might make it harder when you edit.

- [Pat] Okay, so let's turn the iPhone

on right now, - Yep.

- [Pat] and we'll start to look at that view.

And, so, I'll play behind the scenes here.

If I'm filming a course, I know from experience

that I don't want to be sitting, like, here.

- [Caleb] This is the iPhone view, now.

- Right, so this is where I would be looking.

- [Caleb] Right now, you're really dark and the outside

is bright, and if I try to make you really bright,

then outside is completely blown out and white.

So sitting in front of a window when it's really bright

doesn't work. - That's bad.

That's like a silhouette, right?

- Yeah. - Okay, so instead,

I would imagine that having the

light facing you would be best, right?

So let me go here, and let's see what difference that makes.

- [Caleb] So I'm setting down the tripod, a little low, but,

have on your face, exposure's good, that's decent lighting.

I don't think I would change much

about that - Okay. Hi, everybody.

But how about, let's think of like what's behind me.

If you were in a room, what would

be best behind you for scenery, right?

'Cause if I were to go to, like, this scene, you'd have a

half cut window and some Post-It Notes,

which I really wouldn't want in a course or a video, right?

- I mean, oftentimes I default to filming

with a bookshelf behind you, so turning,

having the bookshelf behind you, that's a pretty

normal backdrop. - Okay, so

this is actually not a bad angle.

- Yeah. - Would it matter,

like, filming into the corner of a

room, versus, like, the flat side?

- Sometimes corners add depth, but flat side, clean wall,

you know, lately, I've just been filming

with a paper backdrop roll, so I don't

have to think about any of that stuff,

and I just simplify it, make it be super clean.

- So I would recommend having the same place in your house

with windows that you can basically look toward,

the video pointing away from it,

that just becomes the place in the home

or the office to just always do it,

right? - Yeah, yeah.

And that's what I would do, too.

The more permanent your setup,

the more often you're going to

just, like, start recording, which

is partially why you have this little GoPro setup

you've been using lately, 'cause it's just on a switch pod,

ready to go, - BB to go!

- And you can just hit record, start talking,

and you don't have to think about all the technical stuff.

And when you film your stuff, you just do it outside,

or you just open a window, and it's just kind

of easing the making of the videos.

- Okay, let's talk a little bit more

and go back to the iPhone really quick that we have...

Obviously, you can click and change

certain settings while filming.

How would you do that?

Like, would you click on the subject,

would you click behind the subject?

I don't know how that works on an iPhone.

- So, basically, you would tap

on what you want it to focus on,

and then it'll set exposure, which

is how bright or dark something is, at the same time.

And if you wanna lock that, you just press and hold,

and it'll lock focus and exposure,

so that it's not changing all the time.

- Okay. - But you can also drag up

and down; if it looks too bright,

you drag it down a little bit,

if it looks too dark, you drag it up,

and then you can set it that way.

- And hit record once, get through

that section of your course or video.

Don't stop between takes. - Yeah that's a common

misconception that every time you mess up,

you should stop it and restart.

Just talk through it all, and

you'll edit out all the mistakes.

- And then, finally, in terms of audio,

let's talk about that really quick.

What would you do at a minimum for decent audio?

- If you're filming on a phone, I like the RØDE smartLav+.

Plugs into the headphone jack,

or lightning port, or USB, or whatever your phone has,

and you clip it on your shirt and it sounds pretty good,

or you can get something like this RØDE VideoMicro,

and you'd have to kinda mount it on top

(microphones purrs) of whatever camera you have.

But the biggest thing is, closer the mic is to you,

the better it's going to sound.

So, as we walk further away from this, it's gonna

sound worse, as Pat brings it in, it's gonna start

to sound a little clearer. - Hey, everybody.

Or if I get super close to it; hey, guys.

I bet this sounds super creepy. Sorry.

(both laugh)

Awesome, and then second final question:

in terms of framing yourself on the camera,

- Mmhmm. - is there... I know there's

like a rule of thirds or... - Yeah.

- Like, where should your eyes be?

- Yeah, I tend to do rule of thirds

for where someone's eyes are, so if you cut it

into three sections vertically,

I usually put someone's eye on the top of the two lines.

And then, either just put yourself in the middle,

or if you're gonna be showing stuff next to you,

like in a YouTube video or a course,

or whatever, (funky music in background)

put yourself on one of the thirds.

So, usually, I put the path or whoever else I'm filming

on the right third line, and on the left side

there's room for text to come up,

or photos, or slides, or what have

you. - Nice, so if you know that in

your videos you wanna edit in text or things that come in,

it's best to be on either one side or the other.

It doesn't matter left or right, to you?

- I just prefer the person to be on the right.

- Okay, and then text come in on the left.

Fantastic! Hopefully, that makes sense,

and now that there's two cameras,

like, I-- - Which one do you look at?

Literally both. - I know. It's like that part

in Moana, where he's like "Just choose one eye."

- [Tamatoa] Of the Mons.. Just pick an eye, babe.

I can't... I can't concentrate on what I'm saying

if you keep... Yeah, pick one. Pick one!

- So Team Flynn, let us know what you think,

and if you have any questions.

And also, would you like any tutorials

like this, sort of hands-on behind

the scenes tutorials, for other things that I do?

Let me know, and I'd be happy to

help out and we'll make it work.

So, Caleb, any final thoughts before we head out?

- Just keep it easy, and I know

that people are gonna ask what this thing is.

- What this thing is, this contraption

that I'm holding is called the switch pod.

So, for all of you watching this camera angle now,

this is an invention that Caleb

and I both built and invented.

And it is going live on KickStarter soon,

if not already at switchpod.co,

and it allows you to hold things vlog-style like this,

but also with just a snap, you can place it down and

- Tripod mode, yeah. - start filming

with the light coming from behind

the camera like you know now how to do.

So, anyway, thank you all so much for being here.

Switchpod.co if you want to check out this device,

and also let me know if you have any questions below.

Thanks so much, Team Flynn. You're amazing.

Team Flynn for the win. (fist punches camera)
