How many of you guys are using or thinking of using DSLR/mirrorless camera setups? Maybe a dedicated video on real cameras in the future?

Thanks for the great walkthrough! I've watched several videos that talked about the theory or specific equipment or settings, but none of them made me feel like I really understood how to do it myself. By hearing your reason for choosing the things you did, seeing everything take shape step by step, and seeing exactly how to do it, I feel much more confident about being able to start my own setup. Thanks!
Hey I just wanted to say that I really just started watching two videos from you and I decided to subscribe because (1) you seem to be original, you are not copying anyone's style, which I appreciate, and (2) because your content is very helpful and entertaining. So thank you for making these videos.
Color correction is getting all the colors to an accurate state. Color grading is then adding the specific style.

He DID say he wasn't a professional, so that's good enough of a get -out clause for me.
That LUT segment was *chef's kiss* perfect. Exactly what I needed to turn my grainy, yellow old 720p webcam into a better version of itself. 10/10 would recommend, high marks on Yelp.
Youre the man bro!

Oh hell ya, good seeing you here.
I'm just using the logitech 920 but damn that was an amazing difference with the FPS, dark correction and resolution. you sir are awesome.
I really like that you talk slowly and dont talk like we already know all the big jargen words etc. You earned my sub and Im not even 2 minutes in to it yet. Really enjoying this one @Nutty
Thank you for all the help by making these videos. I don't have any followers and nobody watches me on twitch, but I still want my streams to be something I can be proud of. Thanks for making that happen.
Hey! I'm a freelance gaffer (set lighting technician) and just wanted to chime in with my perspective. Its an unfortunately common mistake to place a fill light on the opposite side of the key light. The problem is that you create double shadows. Every light casts its own shadows and when the lights are coming from opposite directions those shadows will cross and look quite unnatural. It also produces double catchlights in the eyes which can look weird. Additionally, using small LED panels this without softening them tends to not look very flattering. Using a softbox or some diffusion gel on a roll or even a white t shirt placed in front of the light to spread it out will give a much softer graduation from highlight to shadow. If you make your key light large enough and positioned correctly, you usually don't have to use add a fill light. In fact I frequently will take light AWAY from the fill side with "negative fill" Which is basically just any black material to absorb light. I have a couple examples on my channel showing this principle if you want to check them out :)

Everything you say is true, although I don't know much about lighting, but you have to admit that the change he makes with just those few things, is way better looking than the before shot, considering...

For some reason editing my comment didn't want to work, so I'll ask about those examples you mentioned in this comment instead... Would be nice to see a more "show" video, versus this "tell" video... Also, I know 1 or 2 guys in KZread don't use any lights at all because the back of their desks and shelves have RGB strips on them, plus a little rgb behind them on a few nanoleaf pieces, and I was wondering if something like that could be used effectively, either standalone, or with studio lights or whatever you would use, to perhaps save on costs a bit but still have good camera visuals???

@@northwiebesick7136 sure, it definitely looks better than before, but I think it could easily look even 10x better with some small adjustments like I mentioned. Regarding your question about not using lights in favor of RGB strips....definitely wouldn’t recommend that. Lights in the background simply aren’t coming from the proper direction to light up the face, and certainly not in a flattering way, unless you want to be completely silhouetted. And even if they did reach your face, you DEFINITELY wouldn’t want harsh cheap saturated RGB lights lighting you up. It would look terrible. Tungsten/incandescent lights are very inexpensive and by their nature are so much more color accurate than cheap LED panels. An Arri 650w open face can be had for under $150. Bounce it into a white wall or ceiling or piece of white foam core from an arts and crafts store and you’ll have a beautiful soft key light and no need for a fill.

Question, what lighting to use when you have a green screen behind your chair. Probably less than 2 feet from my chair. I see bad shadows and the green background when I use OBS or Xsplitcam. Any suggestions?
@playingwithlight7276

@@elainaamoranto9626 the best thing you can do for yourself is get more distance between the subject and the green screen. The closer you are to the background, the more defined the shadows will be and the more green light will spill onto the subject, making the keying process that much more difficult. Ideally, you want enough space so that you can light the green completely separately from the subject to ensure a consistent, even spread of light.
Nutty, I gotta say, since I've started dabbling in the streaming of my Zwift running/cycling sessions, your videos have been a terrific help and very informative! Also like the humor you inject here and there....makes for an interesting watch. Thanks for putting these videos together along with the very helpful links to products/resources!

That tip on luts for OBS was gold. I had no idea you could do that. Thank you!
Just found your channel and love all your tutorials. I do YT reactions, not streaming, but a lot of these apply to recording as well. You're a great teacher and hella funny. Keep up the great job!
this video just couldn't be any better! I am over the moon after watching this and applying few things to my webcam settings. thanks nutty!

I've personally never put the fill light on the same side as the key light, but it's a really interesting idea and I do see the effect you're going for. It works. Great video
Dude I come across your videos by accident, just amazing you give the entire information and straight to the point. Thanks for the help you have a new suscriber :)
This is so helpful! I'll need to play around with my lighting and apply a LUT for my webcam footage. Thanks for the great video.
wow Nutty an extra huge thank you for this very well done video, very interesting. i'm about to start my channel, going through all options, and this video is the first where I really understand the choices and the reasons of those choices. Excellent job, thanks again
A viewer on my stream recommended this video because I use a Razer Kiyo and it looked blurry and kind of faded. I love this video. Thank you so much for creating it. I did download the DaVinci Resolve and this is a brand new world. I created my first LUT because of you. Thanks so much!!!!!!!

Solid as tutorial and blended with sweet sarcasm. Exactly what I needed. You're the first person I've seen who showed me how to make LUTs and even though it might have seemed like a hack job version, it made 100% sense. Loved it!
This is great man. I love it. I'm binge-watching all your older videos now.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! This is one of those treasure videos on KZread that is so PRO yet so simple. Your channel rocks!
2 videos in a row from you that helped me out A lot. Much appreciated !
I just came across one of your other videos and you crack me up big time while also being super helpful and informative. I love your style! Subbed
Thanks for this, I didn't know that OBS had LUT support. Super useful. I saw one other person mention it, but I think the main thing I didn't see that would have been helpful was just to have some powder on hand to tamp down some of the skin highlights. It was reading a little too hot. I appreciate the tips.
Thank you for this man! Most of the other videos I've been skimming through don't show their set up! Nice work Nutty,.
This helped me so much! I'm using Logitech C310 as my main webcam and applying LUT filters really changed the way my webcam looked. Your video is really really informative, keep making content like this, I am so thankful.
Your streaming tutorials are SO useful. Thank you!
I love the way you explain everything lol "this is what camera nerds call a key light" and also how you did the video slowly adding in the lights so we can see the difference.
Best video ever! I'm a University professor in Brazil and your guide made my videos look much more professional! Thanks a lot!
Endless amazing stuff from this man, also great to watch
Loved this, definitely trying this out. Thanks for the tip!
The lut is so useful. Thank you for sharing!!!
Great info & excellent work on the timeline bar. Thanks
Oh man, you are so sympathetic I will stay with you longer on this channel.. Many thanks for all the info you've included! Priceless! You are a great man!
Thank you for this informative video! Just what I didn't know I was looking for!
Love your videos man. Thanks so much for all of the shared knowledge and even the way you write your titles. 10/10
Great video brother ! Really nice , I have watched it all , very informative!
just tried this... i didnt took you seriously at the start of the video but after applying the LUT you showed, goddang i was amazed!
Really awesome content! Love the humor, its nice to watch a video without subtly inserted self promotion. You get straight to it, thanks!
this really improve my video settings, thanks !
This is amazing Video! Thank you for explaining each step so thoroughly! :) Really thinking of getting all of this stuff myself :D Thank you very much!
Thank u so much sir!
This has taught me so much--you are the man, Nutty! TYSM!
Great vid buddy. Massive help for a frustrating issue.
Great tutorial Nutty and glad you shared with us👍
Great video! Thanks for your help
Love your vids! Keep em coming!
Super informative video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Thanks for the video and share your experience!
You have answered the questions in my mind how others do that kind of lights mixture, the 30W RBG floodlight! Thank you so much.
love your content bro. very practical advice for streamers
Thanks a lot for this vid! Helped me decide on what light i should buy from amazon! Great vid!
Awesome! Thanks for the help
Good video! Made my cam look way better. I followed along and this is still great in 2023!
awesome, the lut technique is fire
Thank you! Super Helpful!
Dude that was a great tutorial, thank you for a straightforward explanation!
Thank you! This is very useful
Great video! Thanks for the tips. I'm just about to start a streaming channel for my FB Video Game channels that I've been running for nearly a decade. Nervous about it since I'm new to all this. You are correct about camera positioning! I took many photography classes and that is one thing they teach you! Your subject position is a major issue. Thanks again!!
This tutorial is a pot of gold! Thank you
Bro you be giving so many tips you definitely deserve a sub homie
Just to clarify, the key light is whichever light is your primary source of light in front of your face. So in this case, your panel on the left is your key and the one above the camera is your fill, because it's acting as a complimentary light to your key light. Overall, great tutorial on fitting literally several subjects into one video concisely!
