00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.950
Hello and welcome back to my channel!

00:00:02.950 --> 00:00:04.860
I'm very excited about today's video.

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:07.715
It's a topic that I have wanted to do for 
a very long time.

00:00:07.715 --> 00:00:09.271
We're talking about lighting.

00:00:09.271 --> 00:00:12.197
I'm going to give you ideas for
different lighting setups.

00:00:12.197 --> 00:00:14.939
We're in a pretty small space. 
So, keep that in mind.

00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:18.259
You are not limited by the size of room 
that you're in.

00:00:18.259 --> 00:00:21.710
But first, before, we get into the meat
of this video

00:00:21.710 --> 00:00:25.274
I would like to take a moment to thank 
today's sponsor [meow] smart home.

00:00:25.274 --> 00:00:28.144
So, we'll be using their devices to help

00:00:28.144 --> 00:00:30.096
us make these lighting setups

00:00:30.096 --> 00:00:32.182
more convenient and intuitive.

00:00:32.182 --> 00:00:34.935
You'll see what I mean in just a sec
so let's get into it.

00:00:34.938 --> 00:00:38.170
We set everything up for this particular
lighting setup yesterday

00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:40.157
because we just wanted to get ahead

00:00:40.157 --> 00:00:44.183
so, unfortunately there is no BTS of how
we set this up but I am going to

00:00:44.183 --> 00:00:48.718
walk you through exactly what we're using
to light this beautiful scene

00:00:48.718 --> 00:00:50.440
that you're seeing right now.

00:00:50.044 --> 00:00:54.633
The coolest thing about this setup is that
most of what we're using as light sources,

00:00:54.633 --> 00:00:56.689
you probably already have at home.

00:00:56.689 --> 00:00:59.174
So our first light, our key light--

00:01:00.326 --> 00:01:01.410
Thanks Luna.

00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:03.347
As I was saying, our first light,
our key light,

00:01:03.347 --> 00:01:07.757
is actually the beautiful window that
I am facing right now.

00:01:07.757 --> 00:01:09.793
So it's a little bit sunnier in here today

00:01:09.793 --> 00:01:12.637
than it was yesterday when we originally
set it up. It was way more overcast

00:01:12.637 --> 00:01:26.767
yesterday and that was giving us a beautiful diffused, soft light on my face and that's typically what I love about natural light is it is really flattering, especially when it is an overcast day because it's already adding that natural diffusion.

00:01:26.767 --> 00:01:34.727
But today, because it's much more harsh, and usually it is in this room in the morning; it's very very sunny so we've added a diffusion panel.

00:01:34.727 --> 00:01:41.976
If you don't have something like this at home, you can repurpose a sheer curtain, you can use a sheet off of your bed.

00:01:41.976 --> 00:01:49.216
Anything white and sheer that's a little bit opaque that'll allow you to just nicely diffuse that light source on your face.

00:01:49.216 --> 00:01:54.054
So, you don't necessarily need to go to Amazon and buy your own diffusion panel if you don't want to.

00:01:54.054 --> 00:01:57.024
Next, behind me we've got some
practicals lit.

00:01:57.024 --> 00:02:01.024
We have our own lamp that--

00:02:01.024 --> 00:02:09.544
I love this lamp. It's from (Streptube?). I think it was only about $100 and what I love about it is you can position the head of it to kind of shine in any direction you want.

00:02:09.544 --> 00:02:19.288
So we have it tilted at just the right angle to give a little bit of a glow and reflection on the cabinets over here which I actually quite like 'cause it's a little bit golden

00:02:19.288 --> 00:02:28.164
and it's a little bit higher so that it's giving me sort of a low hair on this side light which I like because it adds a little bit of depth to the frame.

00:02:28.164 --> 00:02:29.460
Then we just lit a candle.

00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:35.346
All of those little light sources in the back just add some depth and some interest to your overall shot.

00:02:35.346 --> 00:02:47.246
My favorite thing about how all of the lights are set up in this office and actually how all of the lights were set up in our previous office space as well is that they're all voice-controlled using a smart speaker.

00:02:47.246 --> 00:02:56.153
In this office, we have the echo dot setup. So, when we're lighting everything, I can just yell at [meow] to do whatever I want: to turn on lights, to change the color of them.

00:02:56.153 --> 00:02:59.143
So, allow me to demonstrate.

00:02:59.143 --> 00:03:02.943
[Meow] please change the light to blue.
Echo: Okay

00:03:02.943 --> 00:03:06.483
I didn't even say lamp, I said light. She's so smart.

00:03:06.483 --> 00:03:17.913
So in the old office space, if you guys remember my setup, I had multiple pendant lights hanging in the background and I didn't always want to run around and turn on each of them at once so I had those set up with a smart switch.

00:03:17.913 --> 00:03:26.443
And, with this lamp, I actually have a smart bulb. So that bulb connects directly to my smart speaker and it's really easy to pair.

00:03:26.443 --> 00:03:31.446
It honestly just saves me so much time from walking over, manually changing the color.

00:03:31.446 --> 00:03:37.274
You can do it on your phone too but it's always just easier to just yell out a command and have it happen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so lets show you 
a couple more lighting setup

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they'll increase with complexity
as we go

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I could have sworn I heard footsteps 
coming from the second floor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they got louder and louder and I knew they
were something that was out of this world

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
do not use camexa if you have
certain medical conditions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Camexa may cause new or worsening 
your urinary retention problem.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
some people are just here
for the wrong reason

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I am just trying to find love. okey

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is really hard for me to make.
but I recognize that I've made a mistake

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I want to apologize
to every single one of you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and thank you from the bottom of my heart
for supporting this channel

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right now join planet fitness
for only one dollar

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
only 10 dollars a month

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
no commitment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hey turn on the ring light.
- ok

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
oh yeah> so as you can see this is
a very versatile setup

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
yet very very simple.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all we have behind us is an RGB ring light
that we got off Amazone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then we hooked it up to a smart plug 
so now I can tell to turn it on and off

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to whatever light; however, this isn't 
a lifx bulb so I do have to...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the control please. I do have to change
the colors with this handy dandy remote.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I can do that all by sitting here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's so easy. I set this up completely 
on my own. well shone helped a little bit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thanks shone. just cause I am weak
like a pelican. as our key light we have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the aperture 120 d2 with
the mini light dome on it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that's all we need 
in a small space like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we're just doing some really simple.. 
that was my shoulder what the hell.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you simply.. simply.. we're just doing
some really simple split lighting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you could go ahead and add
a hair light to this. you could add a fill

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can really dress it up, but again we
are still doing this simple lighting setup

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right now. so I want to keep it 
nice and simple for you guys.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as you saw with my very fun characters
and acting demonstrations I just did.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this lighting setup can literally be
anything you want it to be.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it can really set the mood for 
whatever you're shooting,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so whether you're shooting something
for the bachelor, or you're having

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a very sad moment, or I don't knew,
maybe want to have a dance party.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can set the mood 
for your interview setup. I would say

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is a very good, like
one -on- one moment if you want to do

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a cameo for a Reality show

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even just a really simple like interview 
setup. yes we are using the one 20d2

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as our key light which is a little bit 
on the privier side, but you can buy other

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
constant video lights on amazone
that are at a lower price point for you so

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all together this setup could run you
for maybe a couple hundred bucks max.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
welcome to the second most complex
lighting setup we are going

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be featuring in today's video. so we've
got our key light again

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's the aputure 120d2 I've got
a bounce here just to fill the left side

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of my face just a touch. and we have..
look at this little crown light going on

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
behind me. these are called nano leaf.
nano leaf lights, and you can attach them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and build like all kind of different
designs with them. they'll actually have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
different like lighting modes to 
different songs

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and if you like that kind of thing, but
the purpose for this video

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we're just using it has a little accent
light in the background and actually

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
little pieces of it fade on and off which
is a very cool, practical to have on

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the back. and on the bottom
of the shelf right here, we have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a nan tube light; you could also use
strip lights that you can find on Amazon.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but we have this and I didn't feel like
sticking anything to my disk area yet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so just to give you a sense of what
a little bit of either surface lighting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or under shelf lighting can do to just
level up that shot, also I've small pair

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of peeking, can you show her. can you stop
distracting me miss; over here we have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a little Himalayan salt lamp.
that's just another practical that I had

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
around the house that I like to add
into my shots cause it's a nice orangey,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
warm light. this guy over here is actually
a lifx bulb it's the same lifx bulb

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that we had in the lamp in our previous 
lighting setup, and the cool thing about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
them is that you can change the color
of them, they connect straight to the[maw]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you can turn it on and off that way,
change the color with voice control

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all of that cool stuff. these are actually
the bulbs that I used in the that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
previous backdrop. they just Edison 
style bulbs. they do look really cool

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and vintage, and give of a nice warm light
however, you can't change the color

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of these necessarily, and that's what I love
about the lifx light if I just wanted

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to go ahead and add a lampshade
then the whole look of the bulb

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
itself when bother me so much in this type
of shot, then I could change it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to whatever color I want. so for example: 
hey change the
