This video was incredibly helpful. I love your enthusiastic presentation too. Thanks so much!!

Straight to the point and not drawn out. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

What lighting were you using when you were explaining the other lights. That looked the best, by far.

Thanks so much for your helpful reviews!

Straight to the point, very useful!

Quick and to the point. Thanks!!! Needed an alternative to dragging out my studio lighting for team calls, takes up too much space, lol.

Great demo. I'm excited to try the $30 light!

Thanks a lot Chris!!! Really helpful video!!

TY! I just ordered the $30 light👏

Great tips, highly appreciated. Though I was not expecting that much fuzz for a zoom meeting. I guess it depends of the industry and role.

This was helpful thanks!

Great job! I would enjoy seeing a tutorial on syncing Fuji XT series to either iPad or iPhone, do you have anything in your library?

Great video. Very well paced with really good presentation.

thank you so much...I prefer to be behind the lens but ok I now need to join in and not turn off the video camera in zoom..I tested by using my modeling light with umbrella and diffuser(einstein 640) but ugg very orangey and over exposed so perhaps Ill get a ring light with a different color temp. Thanks for pointing me in a different direction. As far as background and what looks good on camera..well I think I have that part covered!!!

Very useful, thanks ! it would be interesting to do the same type of demonstration when shooting portraits indoor, starting from basic affordable tools to more sophisticated ones.

Thanks for the great informative review I use glasses it is very difficult to set the studio lighting Because of the glasses I like the way your lighting in your vudeos Can you explain the way you use the lightin in your studio? The position of the light and the setup and The percentage of Lighting in the siftbox light I use godox sl60w with softbox

Thanks for another great video! This brings up a related lighting question I've been puzzling over. I can set a custom white balance in camera using a gray card. But can I have the camera tell me what it measured so I can dial in matching color on a Lume Cube or similar, without going to a computer?

Unfortunately not with Fuji. You'd have to use the custom and then maybe look at the little pixel chart and try and match that. Difficult. I wish they would offer that!

I wish all th videos on KZread be like this, directly start, to the point, 👍😀

Thanks! I think it would also be helpful to know which lights were most distracting to you while shining in your face.

Wow. I've literally been looking for a video like this. The office area of my home has ZERO lighting and no window. I have video meetings at least 50% of my week. I truly hope your suggestions work for me.

As always, a hugely enlightening video, Chris. Although, I think the racoon eyes look works for you. 😜 I am going to try to get that $30 light for work. Hope you’ve got that link as an affiliate! Have a great day. Andrew

LOL, thank you so much!!! Hahaha, yeah, that seems to be a running theme in my last few videos. Speaking of which, I'm SOOO behind this week. Hope to get at least ONE finished. Working on one now but really really complex subject I'm trying to make a bit easier for people to understand.

Hi! I don't see the links to these products. Can you repost the link?

You have a glare from your glasses. I wear thick glasses too. How can we modify that?

where the light is placed is so important, when it's off to the side like your $1000 light it looks very professional, whereas everything else is in line with the camera and looks like a flash grenade has gone off

I did one a few months ago but realize that it was on a livestream that got deleted. Maybe time for a new 'official' tour! I was always hesitant since I would think nobody would care much what my messy and disorganized studio would look like BHS, but it could be fun video maybe...

How did you use $30 ring light but not have the light reflected in your glasses?

@CheBKnights

Жыл бұрын

I've noticed that with a colleague I have regular zoom calls with - I suspect he's got a window off his back left shoulder somewhere (there was a recent late afternoon call with what I'm guessing was lense flare) so it make sense he uses artificial lighting.

Great video! Smash that like button.

Come on Chris that $1000 video light gave you the Hollywood look……for one moment I thought I was looking at Tom Cruise…….ha….ha….just joking 😅

What about glasses?? Those ring lights are weird when reflected in glasses

@pal2tech

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I sucks to have glasses (which I do). Usually if you angle the light slightly more above and to the side you can avoid it.

Convincing. Ever do a how-to about Zoom? Noticed raccoon in several posts - what’s up with that?

Yeah, I made a few 'webcam' videos about smartphone and mirrorless cameras for zoom, but never lighting. Figured it was time and you're right, I should have done it sooner!

or you just move that light from behind in front of you 😅

Ring lighting does not work with glasses 🤓

If you really knew what you were talking about you wouldn't have a reflection in your eyeglasses.
