How To Make A $300 Camera Look Pro!

Фильм және анимация

This is an updated video to my last "crappy to happy" lighting video. I tried to make this as easy to follow as possible and use gear that anyone could get their hands on. The purpose of this video is NOT to get caught up in the gear I use because it's much more about the technique and light placement that really makes the shot look better. I use the gear I have which I do consider budget-friendly considering most KZreadrs use a $700 120D light, but I guess it's all relative. I hope you enjoy it!
Here are links to the gear that I used BUT the same effect can be accomplished with even cheaper gear. (these are affiliate links so using them REALLY helps me out!)

    Straight up just discovered how important white balance is a few days ago. I was getting really bored with learning photography because I couldn't figure out how to get my photos to look better. "Oh what's this white balance? Wow I've been shooting in a mode set for incandescent lights this whole fucking time?!" Changed it up properly and boom, photos look way more professional and now I'm stoked to learn more 😁

This guy actually wants to give his audience the tools to improve their own work. And I absolutely love that.

Of course as a professional he can cook with any kind of kitchen equipment, but he most certainly doesn't use a 299,- stove from Walmart at his restaurant. Not trying to say that you have a cheap stove from Walmart, this is just an extreme example. What I am trying to say is, yes, professionals can make cheap and old equipment work well to a certain point. But there is a reason for expensive, professional equipment, too. It is actually better, not just more expensive.

    Nah. Pediepie's video fits the content and his image. Inconsistent lighting, overexposure, audio saturation and everything else. It wouldn't work with a "presentation" look. The rounded "Rembrandt" look in most youtube videos these days is usually enforced by the content. They are showing equipment and gadgets, giving advice and selling services. They need a this type of lighting, a soft calm voice, soft music, slow body and camera movement, slow editing rhythm, basic wardrobe, basic furniture, etc. Corporate video is also like that. KZreadrs do not know much about lighting and generally have no personal style, so Rembrandt lighting is the only thing they know. They may discover Edward Hopper and other artists in the future. Btw, the skin tones in these videos are nowhere near natural.

    The thing is, almost nothing he did could even be fixed in editing software. Except the white balance, but only if it was shot in RAW (where you can adjust the white balance in post production without any quality loss at all). If you don't shoot in RAW, even worse when it's just an 8-bit format (like most smaller cameras) then you can't even really fix the white balance, only slightly adjust it, or the whole picture falls apart. In cinema post-production and color grading they can do a lot of magic tricks these days like insert fake lighting and stuff like that - but they can only do that because it's shot in raw formats and it has been lit specifically flat to give more room for the grading.

    I know this reply is long and unwarranted by the original comment, but I think I have some good things to add. First of all, the settings made an absolutely huge difference, especially the white balance! The white balance change alone made the shot look 3 times better. Also, he used the same equipment in both shots and that obviously didn't matter. Even though he made quite the effort to start with a scenario where a lot of technical aspects were off, it's actually quite representative of where a lot of people fall short in their abilities! There are a lot of people out there who are interested in creating video content, and in the landscape of gear reviews and studio tours, it's really easy to get caught up in the equipment side of things. Some people are willing to jump in and get a whole ton of stuff while others can be daunted by the perceived barrier of entry. But the truth is that most everyone has decent tools within their reach, and how you use them makes all the difference. A poorly lit shot stays poorly lit when you point a more expensive camera at it. There is an artistry to video that must be learned, and it can be supported but not created by equipment. You need to have your skills down to take advantage of substantial equipment. The good news is that with little to no dedicated gear, you can also take advantage of what you have already! Use a room in your house with good natural lighting. (The sun is a great light and free!) Set up in an area where the light will hit your subject the best. Smartphone cameras are getting crazy good, and if you are doing a simple talking head video, you will be able to dial in your framing and other aspects of your shot. Sound is really important, and it's usually a great call to buy a budget microphone for your setup. The good thing is that the bang for your buck on solid and simple budget equipment is really high, whether it's audio, lighting, or something like a tripod. Audio done right can do a lot to save a video while audio done without care can easily destroy the quality of your video. I hope I shared some good tips, and while this video isn't the first of it's kind, this information and perspective can't be shared enough.
