Thank you! That was the goal 🔥
Completely agree. Really solid instruction

@@MrPaulXavier I agree. I’ve seen a lot of production videos and this is by far the most comprehensive for people starting out. Excellent job. Just subscribed
Every video jumps straight to "make it cinematic" but thank god you are explaining the real basics, thank you!
Thank you for noticing! 💪🏻🔥
Just one other: Hair light/face accent light. But this is the best, clearest, most intelligent and concise video on lighting for creators ever. Thanks mammothly much!
Thank you! Thank you! And thank you! I'm passing this particular video onto my producers. Every time I ask for a piece of equipment I jokingly hear, "oh lord, it's got something to do with lights right!" 😂 If you can afford any two crew members as essential to make whatever you are filming look professional; Gaffer and Sound Mixer those are two unsung hero's who don't get nearly the credit they deserve. Any cinematographer and/or cinematographer/director will tell you the Gaffer is God and they are usually quietly going about their business. All the best I have ever worked with doing all their talking inside of their lighting designs. I can already hear it. Do you need other crew members? Absolutely! But if your sound isn't right, you're done and if your lighting doesn't look professional don't even bother trying to show it to a professional.
Agreed!
Where was this video when I was starting my channel?? Seriously, amazing tutorial. You know how to teach.
There's a bunch of things to consider. There's the inverse square law that basically means that the farther away your lighting sources are, the more power you need on them to produce the light that you had when it was close to you. Also the fact that once you add a soft box to a light source, you're spreading the light out, yes, but you're also reducing the overall output because that same amount of light is now being redirected and flattened out over a wider area. So if you go with a very large soft box you will need a very powerful light in it to evenly distribute the light and have it remain as powerful as it was before.
Probably the best, most entertaining yet easy-to-understand video on literally everything you need to know about lighting. You really have covered it all, thank you!
Bro I've watched tons of video on lighting and yours is the only one that really gives a comprehensive overview of all lighting solutions and how effective they are. Basically this is the most professional and easily understandable video on lighting that I know of so thank you a ton for this content. You just earned a new subscribers
Hey what a wonderful content you've created here.
I think I've never seen so much peace, confidence and clearance in a youtuber haha
New sub!
Wow wow wow. I just want to say that I’ve watched more than a handful of videos about lights… this one was hands down the best one. You explained everything I had questions about. Thank you! ❤
This was great. Zero wasted time. Thank you!
You are a great teacher! I bought the 14 Day Filmmaker course yesterday. I would love a Photography course to go with it! Thanks, Anthony.
Something you did not mention but is important to note 11:38: LED panels used in studio lighting can produce aliased shadows due to their design. Each panel consists of many individual LEDs, not a single light source. As a result, each LED casts its own shadow, leading to multiple overlapping, slightly offset shadows. This creates a jagged or aliased shadow effect, as the individual light points are not perfectly aligned.
Not it you use a softbox which you should
this guy is the best! Buy his course!!! It will get you started and carry you forward. Highly recommend it.
Thanks so much!
am actually saving up for it. guy knows his stuff
I still to this day struggle with lighting for my videos. This video was fantastic! I might go for that large softbox & loving that lantern softbox to help fill my studio space while recording
Never have I ever understood a lighting video more in my life thank you for this info
You are so welcome!
Love how informative you are in your videos! Learn so much from your videos!!
Glad you like them!
Fantastic video! The insights you've shared are valuable while considering options before making purchases. Your thorough breakdown and thoughtful recommendations stand out.
Thank you for making the process easier and more enjoyable. Keep up the excellent work
Incredible. This really is the best video on light I've seen in years.
Wow, thank you!
Phenomenal video! Absolutely killed this video in terms of production and quality
Excellent, straight forward video with solid information regarding the pros & cons of each light source. Nicely done.👍
After checking out a couple of lighting reviews, I stumbled upon this one. So glad I did, because it made me realize I need to learn the basics! You did a fantastic job doing that, and that will inform my shopping now.
Glad I could help!
SO well done! Succinct, comprehensive and understandable summary. Thank you!
THE BEST VIDEO OUT THERE, I watched many many video and i didn't get the difference between lights and here i'm watching your video and understand every single detail i was looking for

Thank you. I purchased a lantern light months ago and it is still in its packaging. Time to unpack it. Have to say I really like how well you communicate and make things feel manageable.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Wonderful overview

Glad it was helpful!
Loved every bit of it. You're such a great teacher❤
Thank you! 😃
This was what I needed!!!! Thank you soooo much for breaking this down
Glad it was helpful!
This is such a great video. I wish I had this when I was starting out. It would have saved me several years of experimentation. Getting lighting right is so important, and yet incredibly difficult.
Glad it was helpful!
Easily the best, and most well presented, explaination of what lights work for each situation and why I have ever seen on CZcams. New sub.
Glad it was helpful!
I like the quality of the neweer Softbox it is much better than many others. The colour temperature is very clear.
Peak content. Subbed🗣️
@ 7:00 I'm not classically trained, and most of the stuff I've learned has been from YT. Anyway, I thought I understood setting the camera for natural white, but I really didn't until you explained how it works.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
So thorough! You answered all the questions I had left. Thank you! Liked and subbed
Glad it was helpful!

I finally understand warmer temperatures and bi colors

This video helped me immensely on deciding what lights to buy. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Great light overview! Very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers from LA.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and I also use the Content Creator subscription for some of my CZcams vids. I have to say you consistently put out great stuff. This one came at the perfect time as I am preparing to do a photo shoot for a movie poster and I have been looking for a comprehensive guide to lights. Thanks for sharing your recommendations Anthony! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Eric! Glad this one came at a good time for you 🔥
I love what you do sir, it is really useful resource, i think you deserve something, you deserve a gift

Thank you a lot, finally I understood what light I need🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Hands down the best teacher in the industry. Changed my life
💪🏻❤️ thanks Josh!
Good video come from TV myself and have been working with light for a long time... an addition that you might not know, but if you do something in this direction again here we go… there is still the difference between people with light and people with dark skin (like me, here it is different because of the mixed colors) accordingly I have to adjust the light color, because especially with dark skin the color nuances vary is absolutely necessary with the light source to adapt accordingly...
In the analogue era I come from, there were Kodak and Fuji, among others, one was adapted for light skin and the other for Asian skin, so there was a different color management for cameras for a long time, ergo Sony vs. Canon... Color combinations didn't just come about that way, they should also support the reproduction of skin nuances... whenever you would like to know more let me know…
a really good video thanks 🙏🏾
What an effort ❤ god bless u
Really great video. Very informative and thorough.
this video is amazing. should be a requirement for all film students!
i recommend ARRI HMIs, Kinoflos, Lee diffusion and DoP choice

Thanks so much!
I bought his course and manged to get from a novice to a professional in less than a month, he is very generous in terms of the info and insights he provides. He is becoming my reference in all things digital regarding content creation.
Thanks so much for writing this. You made my day!
Very nicely explained. This video I can easily share with beginners. Only thing missing was flex panels like GODOX FL150S (No fans, portable, lightweight , versatile and can add softbox)
Yeah flex panels are great!
Best lighting vid I've seen so far
Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you.
This was amazing thank you
Guy you contents are great!! Really easy to understand and helpful! However do you have a video about you also explain how to use a camera flash in the best way like this one about light? Thanks for your work!!
Thank you so much for this video! 🙏🏼
You're so welcome!
thanks for the explanation..I could've used this decades ago.
You're welcome!
This is the best lighting tutorial in CZcams. Y'all just watch this vid; it's comprehensive.

I really didn't have enough time on my hands when I came across your video, but could not believe I watched it all in that one sitting - for 21 minutes. OMG! God bless you for doing this. You saved a life!
Wow, thank you!

Which light/set up would you recommend for filming makeup tutorials (if there’re no space limiting restrictions)?
Thanks

Thank you!
thank you dear, it was really helpful
You're welcome 😊
My guy always!! I have a mount dawg ..and controller !! I have the 60 and I don’t have the space for it now ..
🔥
this is one of the best videos i have seen about lighting !.....just one question,what about a filllight and a hairlight ,isnt that needed also ?
Thanks! So this was a little more about the "gear" not so much the "how to light" but yes you would want a backlight and fill light in different scenarios as well.
Finally a video that solves my questions.
💪🏻🔥
Thanks ❤ good information
Welcome!
You’re the best man 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks!
Another useful TIP: Here is another tip for diffusing the LED panel rectangle light, you can add an umbrella holder adapter that attaches to the stand under the rectangle LED light (I found these on Amazon) then add a shoot through 26 inch white umbrella (both are low cost items). I tried this on two 10-inch (and my other 14-inch) LED panels and it works great needing only one stand per LED panel and not two stands (compared to using a round circular diffuser in front of LED). After attaching the umbrella in adapter, slightly angle the LED panel down toward the center of white translucent umbrella and it spreads across soft light. An all-on-one stand solution that can be moved around easily. Other videographers use this sometimes as an inexpensive (and mobile) solution. Or get a lantern, or softbox as suggested in the video when you have the funds.
🔥
Thank you a really helpful video.
You're welcome!
Cheap ring lights with DIY diffusers can result in some pretty good lighting at budget prices.
Could you use the latern to light the scene without overhead lighting and the Octobox to light the single subject at the same time?
My youtube studio is very small , I think about godox ml60w ii bi + 60cm soft box . You think it can be enough ?
Thank you for this amazing video
