      Aputure 120d mk1 as Key with a softbox + grid, 120d Mk 2 with fresnel for rim light, falconeyes rx-818 as top/hair light, litepanels gemini 1x1 and cametv rgb slim tube for background rgb lights, and a lupo superpanel full color 60 as my light table.. that's my studio setup. And then if I'm outside, the velveltlight evo1, because it's rainproof, is rgbww, and uses v mount batteries. It's not exactly a budget friendly kit..

      @TommyCallaway Před 4 lety +1

      @@falothman Godox lights are great for the price, but with a big softbox it will take a lot of space. If I had to choose between that and one of the falconeyes flex lights as my key light, I would go with a the flex light. They're fantastic.

    Having a small light source at the background is a good idea and i will try that. But i will have to move further from the background for it to work i guess. For filming, i use a Xiaomi Mi9 on a Smooth Q2 gymbal and a diy dolly track. Thank you for the tip!

    Awesome lighting video. I'm using a GVM 800-RGB kit. Thanks for making sense of it all! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    The quality of the videos that you folks at Think Media produce is excellent. Someone else could have taken 20 minutes to say less! Well done and thank you.
