YouTube Lighting On A Budget! 3 Keys To Great Video Lighting In Your Home Studio & The Gear I Use #Best Education Page #Online Earning

miles here miles vector comm in this

video you're gonna learn everything you

need to know about home studio lighting

so you can create a YouTube studio video

studio or photo studio on a budget

whether at home or in an actual

dedicated studio I'm going to teach you

everything you need in this video we're

gonna cover it from three specific

angles there's the environment there's

the actual equipment required and then

there's the arrangement of the equipment

and you might notice right off the bat

that I've got this ridiculous echo in

the background because I'm in a

different angle different part of my

home office because we're gonna start by

explaining the environment behind you

right now there is a window there's a

large window that sometimes catches Sun

sometimes gets clouds sometimes during

the videos I get Sun and then clouds and

then back to Sun again one of my big

goals in this video studio is to

completely eliminate that variable of

the light also you're probably noticing

the echo right I did cover audio for how

to do a at-home podcast studio or how to

do the audio kind of professional level

in a previous vid
eo you haven't seen

that video you can check it out here I'm

on my travel gear and the other portion

of environment ties into the audio so as

you can see I'm in this long office I've

got hardwood floors I've got flat walls

on all sides so it's very reverberating

what I've done back here is my desk is

on a rug and I've got myself tucked into

a corner and then I use to sound

blankets in order to really limit the

external lighting in that environment

and what I'm gonna do right now is I'm

gonna go set up those two sound blankets

for you you're gonna watch how I hang

them from the ceiling and then we'll

kind of meet back together on the inside

of the studio you'll be able to

instantly hear how different it sounds

and that's where we'll go over the

lighting arrangement and we'll also talk

about the actual equipment itself so let

me show you how I set up and take this

long echo tube and turn it into my small

quiet nice little video studio and this

is part one the environment

so that's it I use these simple little

eye hooks and already I can personally

feel the difference in the reverberation

in the room and you can see I've just

kind of taken two different sides here

and blocked them off so I've got a

little tent back there now I'm in full

control this window behind you is no

longer affecting the lighting and what's

going on inside of the tent and also

there's a deader sound there's much less

reverberation in there so at this point

let's go inside the tent and we're going

to talk about the different equipment

and then the arrangement of the

equipment so you can dial this in on

your end as well I'll meet you inside in

sec for the equipment there's

essentially two items that people

usually get one or the other of i've

purchased both to give them both really

kind of an honest test in this studio as

well as my wife's video studios she

creates a lot of YouTube content she's

got about 50,000 subscribers as well so

we've tested both of these items and the

two are either the soft boxes or the

wand light now there's obviously other

options these are the only two that I

will consider there's things like ring

lights but I'm not into that kind of

stuff I really like super simple kind of

basic workhorse equipment that I know is

gonna last for a very long time now the

first thing when I talk about simple and

lasts for a long time these are both

LEDs so my softbox is also an LED setup

this is an LED you're gonna get a lot

longer life like span out of an LED

based light versus like a CFL bulb and

if you look in the reviews on Amazon on

some of those cheap CFL lighting kits

and softboxes kits you'll notice that

they've actually caught on fire those

CFL lights something about them actually

has ignited which is completely

unacceptable to me plus they emit a lot

of heat and when you're in a studio for

extended periods of time your energy

usually gets up you usually kind of get

charged your body heats up and if you've

got warm lights kind of beating down on

you that just kind of increases it it

makes it a lot less fun so LED

these are absolutely the only way to go

we'll start with a softbox this softbox

is the color softbox because it's built

around this box the actual light is a

simple kind of it's about this big on

the inside it's got maybe a hundred or

so LED lights and then this is a light

one where it's got about 360 LED lights

vertically now what this does is this

actually diffuses the light straight out

of the gates so as I turn it on its

going to be a softer light and then this

one is gonna be a little bit more

intense of a light but you can always

diffuse these styles it's got a little

plate on the back that's magnetic that

comes off and there's two ways to

diffuse these it's kind of ghetto but it

works like a champ number one is white

wax paper you care off a sheet of wax

paper that's about this long you simply

clip it up here behind the item and you

let it hang down in front and you've got

a nice big wide piece of wax paper down

in front of it that will diffuse the

light you can also put like a white

plastic shopping bag that you would get

from a grocery store you could slide

that right over the top if you wanted to

diffuse that with that said my wife and

I both we both prefer the LED light

style and we both run them non diffused

my wife has she's personally I'm not

very particular with how I look I don't

really I try not to judge that I'm more

about the content how did that sound and

I communicate effectively good let's

ship it my wife definitely cares she

looks at it she's like I don't really

like the way that light is and she did

not like or appreciate the way that

these softbox lighting worked for her so

my wife is all in she always uses two of

these LED setups I personally run one of

each because it's just easy for me to

stash a light box over here in the

corner and it just doesn't have to move

so that's really easy and then we share

one of the wand lights that goes back

between the two studios now over here

you have two color temperatures we've

got the white color temperature and

we've got the gold color temperature and

it's on a dial so I can go dim gold I

can go dim white but I can't find a

blend between the two with the soft

boxes now the golden light it's kind of

a skin tone thing right like I'm pretty

darn white so I run a pretty white color

and that's the the 5500 color

temperature versus the 3200 color

temperature the 3200 temperature is the

kind of more

golden light color if I go to golden it

just looks weird I kind of turn orange

my wife on the other hand she's got more

she tans better and she's got a little

bit more olive color in her skin so she

runs the lights a little bit more golden

than I do and it actually enhances and

it looks really good with her natural

complexion and her skin tone so having

the ability to blend them and that's

what you get out of the light ones so

light one right now these this is a far

super more intense light there's more

LEDs there's flat-out more brightness

you can get from this then you can from

the softbox but you don't always need

that what I love about this is I'm able

to dial it back and it's got a dial on

the back that I'm kind of fiddling with

right now and I'm gonna show you that

I'm able to turn off the white light and

then I can turn off the gold light and

then I can turn back on the white light

and I can find a blend of white and gold

that gets the right color temperature

that right blend for me my wife and I

both prefer that method I feel like you

have a little bit more control one other

thing

the softbox kit I think I paid like

eighty or ninety dollars for the kit it

came with two soft boxes two lights two

stands and the power cables so very

inexpensive and and these work I mean

don't get me wrong like just because we

prefer these these work really well one

of the other items is the stands not

actually a tripod it's a little bit

wobbly it it tripods out at the bottom

but it's it's very top-heavy so it wants

to wobble a little bit more for these we

bought two of the amazonbasics tripods

they are really cheap of like 20 bucks

each or something like that when you buy

two of them and that gives it it's a

much more stable of a base I feel like

this thing's gonna stand it's also a

smaller footprint so it's easier to kind

of tuck off in the side and then lastly

you can see my whiteboard back here

we're catching a reflection off of one

of my lights when I use a softbox on

this side the reflection on my

whiteboard is huge and you might note

you might have noticed it in several

videos that I had this gigantic

reflection and it was actually blocking

some of the words when I was writing up

here and that's the other reason why I

don't use a softbox on both sides to

really try to minimize this glare here

that you're seeing right there and

because that's coming from here one more

thing is batteries so this is all the

products there's a URL it's going to pop

up here right

now it smiles Beckler com4 / lights and

that'll take you to a quick post I threw

together that's got access and links to

all of these things they are affiliate

links if you click through and purchase

then I will get a little tiny commission

from Amazon whatever if you want to

great if not no worries either way I

just figured I'd throw that out there

but it's a cool it's a compiled list of

everything to try to make it easy for

you to find these specific item numbers

that I personally purchased and use the

one other thing about this here is you

can run off of batteries right so the

you'll know I think it's called young no

still can't pronounce this brand it's

the same brand as a travel set up and

I've been running with for a while they

don't come with power cables and they

don't come with batteries so you buy the

light and then you have to buy a power

source I've got both the battery and the

power cable

I run the power cable at home I love

having two batteries so I can actually

take these out nature I've got a few

videos I'll pop one of the videos up now

if you want to watch it that's of me out

in nature and you can see in that video

the kind of setting behind me is really

well illuminated it looks great and I'm

also really well illuminated now if you

go out into nature without an intense

enough light with something weak like

this guy what you're gonna find is that

you're only able to get either the

background or your face in the proper

exposure if you want both you gotta be

able to blast it with an intense amount

of light that's what these do I've

actually got two of these young nose and

then we've got two batteries and we got

two tripods and my wife and I have hiked

out with both and we set them up and we

run both of them there either one's

gonna get you going to be perfectly

honest the the $80.00 set like this

thing is gonna last for a while one

other thing I noticed on this is it

makes a little tiny bit of a humming

noise both of them didn't only one did

and the color temperature on their white

color that 5500 color temperature range

is a little bit different from one to

the other they had a little bit

different colors so just the quality

assurance on those I mean they're

they're just inexpensive they're made in

China they're designed to be cheap you

get what you pay for but if you're on an

extreme budget they'll get you going and

they'll help you take control of your

environment I've put these young know

lights through a lot the one that I'm

using right now on top this might travel

rig that thing is literally gone around

the world with me

and I've actually dropped it off the top

of the tripod multiple times I'm six

feet tall and it was up at head height

and it has literally fallen to the floor

repeatedly and it still works I'm kind

of notoriously hard on things that I

have because I use them right now I'm

gonna throw in the bag I'm gonna hike

out in nature with it I'm gonna set it

up on rocks because I want to get that

shot every once in a while things tip

over and fall but these LED lights they

have they've listed the test of time for

me in a major way so I really do count

on them and then just to show you so how

the young no works is it plugs in on

just a normal tripod kind of anchor so

this anchor here is off the tripod and

the bottom of the yo-yo has just your

standard I think it's a quarter 20

whatever the standard tripod is it just

screws into the bottom there and this

clips on to the tripod and then again

the tripod I'm using is this is the

Amazon basics before I was using a

ravelli tripod which was it didn't it

broke literally one of the legs broke

this is just an aluminum

amazonbasics tripod super simple

efficient shows up does the job day in

day out eventually you'll probably have

duct tape holding it together but that's

what tripods do I don't I don't do the

$300 or $500 Manfrotto tripods it's just

not I want something that I'm just okay

with being rough with here now the third

part and this is the final part is how

do you set up your lights for success

and give myself a little breathing room

in here with that I think it's kind of

gigantic so there's a really simple way

to think about lighting there you

generally have what's called a key light

and a fill light right so you'll have

one light will be your main source of

light and then you need to fill the

other side and what you're looking at

generally is the nose shadow so if your

get light too intense on one side and

you're not filling the other side of the

face what's gonna happen is you're gonna

there's a weird shadow across your face

from your nose

you're gonna cast shadows on one half of

your face and it is just so not

flattering at all so you need at least

two lights now my wife and I ran for a

very long time with two of the wand

lights these ones the young nose we ran

with two of these and we would simply

set up one to the left of the camera one

to the right of the camera right at

about the same distance away from the

camera we

run them at about the exact same

intensity so camera is in the middle

light on this side light on that side

we're getting even lighting on both

sides of the nose and inside of the kind

of the eye bones and all that right

you're getting that even lighting

throughout that's the biggest key is

even lighting now the way I run it in my

office today since I've got that travel

light

I generally run my travel light head on

so right now my phone is attached to the

travel light in that exact same system

that I showed in the travel video and

then I've got the softbox on this side

and then I've got the wand light on this

side again biggest reason why I've got

the one light on this side is because I

don't really want that gigantic

reflection in my whiteboard if you don't

have anything reflective you're fine

you're good to go if I didn't have this

I might actually run the softbox over

here

just so I didn't have to move lights

back and forth I don't feel the need to

buy more plastic I'm not a huge fan of

consuming plastic and one other thing a

softbox does that any mention is it it

is a good sound absorber right it's this

big thing it's an odd shape it's going

to break up those sound waves even more

so it kind of runs a dual benefit at

this point that's how I run my lighting

now I have a ceiling light above me

that's called a top light so the main

thing you need is key light and a fill

light you can get this done with two

wand lights these wand lights are

generally tall enough and big enough

that you're gonna get light from below

your chin to above your head so it gives

you a little bit of a top light and a

little bit of a lower light it really

creates a very kind of broad light

spectrum on your face which is really

the goal if you want to get super fancy

with it you would want to add on a top

light and a backlight and that's

something I'm not doing and I probably

will end up doing here I might just go

down to the hardware store and get an

inexpensive floodlight with an LED

floodlight and I would literally put it

on the floor behind me and have it shine

up on the walls behind me and the reason

I would do that you can see I get these

little bitty shadows coming up behind me

when I move and I want to eliminate

those shadows from behind the wall from

behind me and we would do that by

putting literally it would be a

floodlight on the ground splashing a

bright light up above me and then if you

have a top light it really will kind of

isolate your silhouette and it really

helps you pop out from the background

that is super advanced and obviously if

you're a professional like you know what

you're doing right this is for the the

youtuber who

going and they want to up their level to

that next level to get that lighting

kind of next level dialed in you can get

it going with just two lights if I was

to buy two and only own two it would be

these ones here but I think total out

the door with the tripods and everything

it would be about $200 for these two

lights for the power cables and for the

two tripods softboxes you can get for

about eighty I think you get a better

quality light with the light ones but

these will work and they're under a

hundred bucks so the decision is

ultimately yours

I wrote even more and I linked to some

other resources from that page I told

you about Myles Beckler comm forward

slash lights I ended up I was just I was

just putting together a list of the

items that I end up writing a little bit

more about each one so I do recommend

you check that out and take a read

obviously when you go to Amazon read

through people's reviews of the things

this is my take I've been using I've

been using these lights for years now

several years with my wife's videos

we've been using these lights the

softbox is I've used on and off for

years I just don't they're just bulky I

don't know something about it doesn't

fit with me tripods you got to do it

that's it I hope this has made sense for

you if you have questions about the

items I've talked about or the setup or

the environment tricks go ahead and hit

me in the comments if you enjoyed this

video give me a thumbs up good on you

for making it to the end hashtag badass

in the comments if you did make it to

the end right on and then that's pretty

much it I might talk a little bit about

my screen recording system and the

camera I'm using in a future video

because I got a new webcam for part

three in this series but really audio

and lighting are the trick to good video

and whether using the cell phone you've

got in your pocket which I'm on right

now Nexus 6p a three year old front

camera that I'm using which does

absolutely fantastic or whether you use

you're using just the basic laptop

webcam that you've got you do have

everything that you need to get

recording a little bit of lighting and a

little tiny bit of audio goes a very

long way to make it feel much more

professional and it's easy to do today

on a very very tight budget again I hope

you found this to be interesting I hope

you found this to be helpful I'll be

dropping a new video in a couple of days

so be sure you subscribe if you haven't

subscribed already you have hit the bell

so you get notified when new videos come

out it will automatically notify you and

I catch you on the next video be well

keep putting out the work keep doing

your thing don't wait til you have it

all figured out to start start now start

today if you haven't already get going

and remember incrementally make it

better

poco poco poco as my friends in Mexico

would say a little by little by little

you'll make it a little bit better by a

little bit better all sudden you get

yourself quite a nice little production

going on that's when it gets fun that's

when it gets easy and my goal here has

been to design this home studio to where

I can walk in I can throw up my two

blankets turn on the lights and be

recording within three to five minutes

I've got that done so it just makes my

life that much easier which makes me

more willing to make more videos and as

you know from watching my other videos

putting out the content is doing the

work and doing the work is what creates

the success that you desire got to put

out the work so let's make it easy on

ourselves let's make it fun let's have

some fun with it

I hope you've enjoyed this again give me

a thumbs up engage how you want to

engage do what you do you want to share

the video with a group go for it I don't

care embed it do whatever you want do

whatever you feel with this video I

appreciate all of the engagement and

again I look forward to connecting with

you on the next video until then be well
