What light do you recommend to remove a shawdow from a green screen ? Thank you for the advice

[@miamisportsvibes]

It's starting to really piss me off that your channel hasn't blown up yet, lmao. You deserve at least 500k. Going to continue liking and engaging with your content because you have no idea how helpful your videos are!

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Thanks so much! I’m just stoked for everyone whose here rocking with the channel now! I appreciate the support and am glad you’re enjoying the content!

[@everlasting1]

Seriously. Just found this channel today. Hopefully I'll have a video up with some lighting in the next couple days that I will owe credit to this channel. I've never done anything with me onscreen before.

[@Nononame24]

I literally asked myself why I felt like clicking away from this video when I first started watching it. On paper it has everything. Amazing video quality, lighting, crisp audio, informative content, concise information, etc... AND I REALIZED It's the cadence and tone of voice he chooses to use. He talks like he is chatGPT or some other characterless AI. There just isn't any personality or character in the way he is choosing to present the information. I do think it's a voice he puts on though and not how he talks irl so hopefully he sees this and try's tweaking it because everything else about his videos is spot on.

[@danielmahathir4001]

wow. what a video. woke up at 4am today to catch up on some office work and a great 10 min video on a break. always a fan. liked as always. stay creative peeps!

I got the smart bulb based on your recommendation though I kept losing connectivity with the app. it's definitely an upgrade to a regular bulb

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Yes it can be a little flake sometimes with the app hit overall works well compared to others!

[@Drostvideo]

Thx Ben I somehow figured it out how to changer colors using the app with the bulb in AC mode

LIFX smart bulbs are also flicker free when set to full brightness. Some lower brightness options should also be flicker free, but I haven’t tested that yet. They’re also pretty inexpensive, you can get a pack of two 800 lumen bulbs for $50

[@jordenwehrly7061]

Any issues with these bulbs yet? have them in the cart from your recommendation

[@jsobrino]

@@jordenwehrly7061 I haven’t had any issues when recording videos with my phone, but i haven’t tried videos using these bulbs with my mirrorless yet

Sir please suggest me an awesome light which is deliverable in India. PL reply.

[@StickOnHair]

can pocket lights be used for main lighting in home studio?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

May to too harsh, you could try to use it with a diffuser in front to soften it if you want it to be the main key light

[@ManishPt-IN]

[@deanzenas.]

Hey Ben, Thank you for making this video. How do you sync the audio and video for music videos?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Great question! I edit inside of final cut and I make a “keyword collection” put all the video takes and the actual song in it, then hit synchronize clips. That’s pretty much it!

[@deanzenas.]

@@benjohnsoncreative Thank you Ben

[@brandonrobinson1603]

Awesome video! I think you talked me into getting a few of the G2 Pocket Lights! Which diffuser do you recommend with those since they don't come with one?

Can you review the Nanlite FS Series of lights ?

Donc, de cette même manière, si on augmente l'exposition de sa caméra, on peut utiliser la lumière de son téléphone comme lumière clé ?

Hi! How does the TL60 compared to the YN360? In term of light output (in CCT or RGB mode) I've tested the LC500R, which is (kind of) 2 times brighter thant the YN360 i RGB mode, but same light output in CCT mode

[@benjohnsoncreative]

TL60 is much brighter

[@Alex_Thomas.]

Hey Ben what song do you use for your intro

[@timeremag8732]

Hey 👋🏻 I guess I know what the problem of the channel is. It’s slow. The audience nowadays is only into the fast stuff. The best thing I did for this video was to do the 1.25 speed adjustment. Love your videos keep going

[@benjohnsoncreative]

It's true, a lot of people are into fast content. I like to film my regular videos at a pace that people can understand but can be sped up if the viewers prefers

[@timeremag8732]

@@benjohnsoncreative another possibility is to do KZbin shorts from videos. Or include it into shooting

[@jamwithjason3112]

is there an european alternative for G2 Pocket:?

I'm not sure, there are probably lots of great options

[@Alex_Thomas.]

[@fianoanthonio]

Hi I need your opinion about the Godox LC500R. Have you tried that light? Was about to buy YN360 but then I found this Godox light. Looks to me that the Godox is much more powerful and versatile. Thanks

[@benjohnsoncreative]

It probably is! The yn360 is cheaper but it’s older as well and if the lc500r is newer it’s prob more feature packed. Haven’t used it but it looks nice!

[@fianoanthonio]

@@benjohnsoncreative ah okay Thanks Ben. Love your content! Always helpful.

[@BrianSchwartz]

Any thoughts on which lights you recommend that are wall mounted? Trying to recreate a 3pt system with rim light on ceiling and other two lights on wall in 45 degrees. If you take the stand off the G2, is that a standard 1/4 thread?

[@benjohnsoncreative]

I’d recommend wall mounting with some sort of a swivel podcast arm, check the other comment you left I replied With more

[@farjadahmad]

Bro .. can rgb lights also give normal while light??. If yes then their temperature can be controlled too??

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Most of them yes, all the ones on this list can

[@farjadahmad]

@@benjohnsoncreative thanks .. so yes for both.. white light and temperature... That's kinda all I need. Like, for KZbin videos and run & gun setup

[@RondellKB]

Save your money and get the Sutefoto T15, much better value than any of the lights in the video.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

I haven't tried that one yet, might have to check it out

[@RondellKB]

@@benjohnsoncreative You should check it out. It's only $40 and it has most of the same features of lights 2-3 times it's price. It has an app that can turn it into any colour you like, a bunch of different modes, and the best part is the battery life. I bought two of these lights and I tested them out yesterday, one of them lasted 3.5 hours, the other 2h 52m, both of them were outputting at 100% intensity, to me that's absolutely incredible. I used different colours on each light so idk if that is why they have a discrepancy in the time that they lasted. If you do go looking for it, there seems to be different versions, the one I have has a 5000mah battery.

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Nice, there are lots of great budget RGB lights on the market now that have good features. Glad you found one you like!
