CHEAP LIGHTING SETUP on a Budget! - DIY

[@matthewanderson8585]

Watching videos from 2019 then coming back to the older ones really shows me how much you have grown! Your whole personality lights up a room and you seem so much more comfortable on camera now! It's great seeing such a great person blossom like you have Pete. Keep doing what you love and keep making great videos to make people like me happy and intrigued :)

[@JohnAeronCaiga]

It's so weird seeing this in 2020. Woah, Peter! 🤯

[@new-aimproduction8786]

Yeah right? The audio is so not PM 2020 videos.

[@KMtvEntertainment]

Super Weird

[@jackx3950]

samesame

[@alexgvnggvng]

Im seeing it now April 3rd This is crazy!

[@JohnAeronCaiga]

@@alexgvnggvng So much difference, right?

[@CosasdelJardin]

i miss this Peter Mckinnon

[@sammonica3829]

For sure. These were the days.

[@MrShazaamable]

Why?

[@trashbag8124]

Why?

[@MagicallyMusical]

Thanks Peter! I'm working on upping my channel quality, and I'm confident these lighting tips will help! 😊

[@morganheinzmann921]

I use pot lights ($8 at Walmart?) with some LED bulbs ($5 for a pack of 3?) and I literally made some softboxes out of cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, parchment paper, and matte black spray paint and they work like a charm. I've done a little product photography and it looks great.

[@venaustine4270]

Morgan Heinzmann where can i see those prod. photography ☺️ under that given light setting.

[@mobilecinematographer9317]

i would love to see it, show me!

[@bingbong1790]

Me too!

[@migbds]

You can't just leave us hanging like that

[@drealewis3069]

Please post a video on how you did this!

[@ladiseoul]

Not only are your videos super helpful, but your music's on point!! Oh man, I'm always scrunching my face at the end of your videos like "damn, that sounds good."

[@GEMNaturals]

I'm so glad I found this channel. I haven't come across a video yet that wasn't full of helpful tips that I can use in not only my photos, but videos as well. Thanks Peter!!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Happy to help!

[@SethParker]

It's so crazy to see the quality and production difference between your videos from when I first started watching you to now. Amazing, man! Give me so much hope.

[@TheHungryPig0786]

I think I just found my favuourite photography/film channel. You deserve more recognition, man! keep it up!

[@Kaprisyosa]

Zeptic he's my favourite too!

[@dariusmitchell5758]

You're awesome!

[@WahidFayumzadah]

More recognition he got.

[@lalanthakeragala4225]

Well he got the recognition allright

[@ayanjubane5045]

This aged well

[@HofTheStage]

This is the first video I saw from Peter, subbed right away. It's funny seeing it now and how much his channel has grown. Love seeing when good creators/people make it big!

[@erikap.8779]

My 4 kids (2-9yrs) want to start a KZbin channel and of course this mama is somewhat clueless when it comes to filming and photography so trying to graps and learn as much as I can so we can get these kids started on this. Thanks for another great helpful video! I agree with others found my favorite channel

[@ethanohara407]

Erika P. what is their channel?

[@SilensVenator]

Parents like you are the best kind

[@skyredcreative7644]

the best part of watching your old videos is seeing the comments "you're underrated, you deserve a million subscribers!"...love this. such a great motivator to me. thanks for being great.

[@BambaZillah]

The main reason I watch this channel is because *Peter* seems like *a really nice guy* . I feel *happy* watching his videos.

[@850Tech]

also you can learn something too

[@thetonghaokip]

Yeah thats true

[@18deadmonkeys]

he understands the ghetto-solution culture

[@olereidar]

Watching Peter’s evolution; 4 years makes a difference. From talented to polished.

[@princeandfernee8548]

you're underrated, you deserve a million subscribers!

[@timovanhees7300]

Prince Andfernee you are so right

[@kunsunrethy]

hes on his way! 1 month from now, 100K is in the bag

[@PeterMcKinnon]

I appreciate that! Cheers :)

[@upstatesneakerhead9522]

You are growing crazy fast bro! When I subbed, you were at less than 10k. Crazy what good content does, huh? Cheers!

[@liambarber6609]

Prince Andfernee he deserves nothing... and that's how its going to stay. woodstocks over bitches

[@amchildress1]

You have completely rejuvenated me. I've lost most of my desire to film over the past few years but I just watched about 40 of your videos. You have brought me back to living filming. Thank you for that. You have a new fan.

[@CraigPringle]

Would love to see a tutorial on how you made your intro (00:09-00:14). It's amazing how well you introduce your stuff with that 5 sec clip! A lot of people make them longer but I really like the short, precise, and informative look of yours.

[@MEDSimplified]

Are u bradley coopers brother?

[@anrianka]

hahahaha

[@tassobytes8446]

Who is cooper ? He is peter

[@taziksh7564]

Bradley Cooper X Matthew McConaughey

[@Pradiip79]

No, Peter, YOU have a great day! I'm learning tons from your vids, since I'm new to photography, and you're entertaining. Keep it up!

[@michaelleo5299]

I love your enthusiasm towards photography. Keep doing what you are doing 😀👍

[@lorecan5085]

The Only problem with your channel is that there aren't more videos... Thank you for an absolutely amazing channel!

[@abisayopeterabiodun574]

Watching this video in 2021... Wherever you are man, I love you 🤗

[@RClackett]

Great video Peter! I find lighting so intimidating. This video has really made me feel more at ease with the concept. I can’t get enough of your videos - I discovered you about two weeks and can’t get enough of your content! Thank you.

[@keshavbx]

this video is proof that it's the artist, not the tools, that really make the difference. thanks!

[@JohnLuna]

can you make a video on how to light products?

[@AceandMaverick]

Hands down undisputed King of the B Roll 🙏🏽👏🏾

[@itsYaBoyBEAR]

I fell for it. I was watching this thinking, whoa this lighting set up! Must be one of his earlier KZbin videos before he became Master McKinnon and then BAM 💥 perfect lighting 😂Great Video as usual.

[@SeanFrayne]

Thanks Peter! I just tried this with a work light and some stuff I had at home (including a LED bike light as a rim light!) and my videos look 10X better. This is by far the easiest, cheapest hack yet :)

[@GabrielRodriguez-cb8hb]

any tips for getting the confidence to film in public in a vlog format?

[@PeterMcKinnon]

It can be tough at first! It was 100% weird for me when I started - Perhaps I'll do a video on that.

[@GabrielRodriguez-cb8hb]

Peter McKinnon that'd be cool thanks

[@Dunja0712]

@Peter I'd love to see that video. Especially as a non-native English speaker. :D

[@epion33]

I don't vlog but I'd imagine getting comfortable vlogging by yourself would be a good start.

[@RasmusAbrahamsson]

Just do it and ignore what people think. It's not easy in the beginnig but you get over it

[@c.vishwanath3417]

He hit 6M subs, this shows the hard work and the consistency, doesn't matter what gear you use, it all works out in the end!

[@Chrisjamesmagic]

Thanks for this. First lighting video that has been useful to me!

[@WoodsBrandy]

I am so glad you came up in my feed. I am so glad I took the time to watch you. The content you are making is awesome!

[@koegon]

The comment section is so chill here I love it

[@PeterMcKinnon]

+Koegon That's whassup!

[@Mustrefrainfrombeingrepulsive]

What a twist oliver

[@lucid640]

Finally, a serious and direct lighting solution video. So many other people are like "oh get THIS brand of light and get a lightbox, and get these other pieced of kit. Dont worry its only 200$. I just need something to get started so i can invest in the big things. Many thanks Peter!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Hi from New Zealand and thanks for your awesome videos 👍🏻

[@SauceStache]

Mannnnnn I was just looking at those husky lights the other day and walked away because I didnt know how they would look on cam! thats great!

[@poolboyinla]

Thanks, Pete.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Cheers, bud

[@richardpellis]

As a DIY guy that remodels stuff around the house I've been wanting to change out my dual head halogen lights on a work stand to LED ecause they are so hot. Now I have another excuse to do so because I can use the LEDs for household remodeling projects as well as making videos. So, the video may be a few years old but still providing value. Thanks Peter for creating and posting it.

[@AbdoAlTop2012]

2017 :didn't know gel name 2019 : have red camera

[@LorencCala]

2020 start home quarantine content

[@trojanette8345]

There's a reason why you're KING of all things, KZbin. Now we all know why. Great tutorial.

[@tigocostavisser9768]

Watching this video in 2019. It so much fun!

[@GreasyLuckForge]

I'm just starting out and found your channel/tutorials. Super helpful for a new youtuber looking to start upping the quality of their videos. Thanks for showing all of these easy to follow and understand setups.

[@shubhamsinghssnl496]

Awesome work why don't u show your hairstyle tutorial😉

[@kunsunrethy]

[@PeterMcKinnon]

+Sunrethy Kun LOL pretty much

[@kunsunrethy]

[@ShubhamPa8]

Peter McKinnon I really love ur channel

[@mattfarr]

I came across this channel recently and have to say, I am really glad I did. Good info and quality content! I can't believe there are not a ton more subscribers.

[@laladywarriors820]

im just watching this now? this is the most practical...

[@aaronandlexitravels]

It’s so weird seeing this in 2022. Woah, Peter! 😁👏🏻

[@MobileFilmmaking]

I know this is old but thank you for this.. Lightning has always been an issue for me.

[@scottrowe533]

Super-useful 'Lighting 101' tutorial, Peter. This should be required viewing for all beginning photographers and videographers! I studied lighting in college (many, many years ago) and the setup you advocate is exactly like the makeshift rig I used at home to produce my class assignments. It's a bit rough, but with time and practice some very impressive results can be achieved. Thanx again! 👏👍

[@koegon]

Thanks man! That's exactly what I needed

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Cheers!

[@farooqhussain6077]

Brilliant, you simplified the process I actually got a good insight into how to set up a scene with great lighting. Other vids I watched over complicated the whole process. Thanks

[@flowlesscards]

Close to 40K!!

[@spondoolie6450]

The suspense is killing me!

[@antfirmin]

My sort of tip! DIY is definitely the best - makes you appreciate what you have so much more!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Just so great details to learn. Thanks for sharing and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter

[@აბიგლუკოზა-ძ1ჯ]

thank you!!! this is exactly what i needed! something good and cheap. and i was about to do 2-3 day research to figure out the best price to quality ratio DIY Lights but now i can relax, watch your video and the best part is that i know whatever you will show us will be really good and useful. thank you for giving us so many good advices

[@youcefben1735]

congrats on growing on youtube. keep it up. !

[@johntuivanuakula9802]

roughly two days out from the new year......Awesome stuff :)....cool to see how much Peter has grown in his videos... :)

[@jojoowens9309]

Who needs to pay for photography classes when we have P. Mac Academy here!

[@looneygxm]

Easily the best DIY budget light tutorial on KZbin

[@8t5mm]

2019 anyone? Thanks KZbin I actually needed help with my lighting set up 😂😂

[@RubenvanStraten]

I can't stress this enough... I hardly EVER subscribe to a channel, but this guy! Simple, Informative and Effective. Out of the hundreds of videos I've watched, this is handsdown the best. Subscribed! Keep it comming, I'd love to see the ISO, shutter and setiings you used. Regardless, thanks fir the upload, keep posting stuff like this mister

[@gabriellucido1362]

[@saskelee]

[@kemal_abi]

I'm glad I found your channel. I could watch your vids 10 hrs straight.

[@rachelgundersen377]

I saw the first three seconds of this video and my brain was like "what the hell happened to Peter??"

[@metinbaydere]

That video is one the best tutorial i have ever seen so far. Thank you Peter

[@pameladeregules2945]

I almost clicked away because I thought that was your real lighting setup at the beginning. lol

[@MrHarryGray]

Oh how times have changed 😂

[@skymakai]

Nice to see some of your older stuff. You're way more 'approachable'. Appreciate that videos like this still have value.

[@HoStevie]

*I need to get this setup...*

[@bikhaminformationtechnolog8157]

Helpful, makes it work, genuine and you seem like a wonderful guy. Thank you for this video man. Keep it going.

[@ivettedizon7020]

BRO U MADE MY LIFE 78644356 EASIER THANKS

[@PeterMcKinnon]

High Five!

[@Trevwhitesailing]

Mate that was a well presented functional lesson on lighting 101, no hype or bullshit. Nice work, the tip regarding the gels priceless

[@jimmyku5070]

Liked and commented

[@monty4924]

Decided to create a cinematic lighting setup for less than $100. inspired by this, one of my first videos! Thanks for the content. So cool! Stay safe

[@MommaFromScratch]

looks absolutely disgusting, lol awesome

[@PwnagePB]

Pirate Pete, I just came across this old video of yours because im looking to step up my skills. Def some really good information here. But... it did make me realize that everyone starts somewhere on youtube and well... you've come a long way with your quality. Keep up the good work friend. 👍

[@aphotodesignco]

Man, Peter McKinnon, your B roll video brought me here. Between the two, I feel like I just took a $1000.00 course on video making. Thanks man. Hands down the best and most information I've gathered from KZbin to date.

[@TylerEsterly1]

Peter, you have inspired me to do more and better things in my community i hope you have a nice day . you deserve a better channel and more subs

[@thackerify]

I'm new, so going through all your old videos.... I'm getting adds for every video, and I'm watching them ALLLLL

[@mgr001]

Nailed it, Peter - this is a must-see video for anyone doing Zoom who wants a professional look without the expense. Thank you.

[@brandiebryant7621]

Really good ideas here. I think you should make a separate playlist dedicated to diy ideas and improvisations. You don't really know about this stuff until you're in a position where you gotta make do. Really fun to see

[@DianneStudio]

Wow... Very Nice Video and Very Informative. Thank you, Peter.

[@gophertopher22]

Pete... you have come SO far. THANK You, for being you. Cheers

[@brownin329]

I learned so much about lighting just from this one video! You really should have a TV show (my bad if you already have one). Thanks!

[@dumbpizza9258]

Not too long ago I started doing some story writing. Now I wanna add photography to my to do list. I have just stumbled upon your channel and am very intrigued. Hope to learn more tips on taking photos. My goal is to be good enough for my aunts upcoming wedding. Cheers mate! Much love! Sayonara.

[@julieellis8762]

Great info, on this one and so many of the others. @9:01, I thought for sure you were going to do a quick cutaway shot of the setup from your viewpoint.

[@sistimojoyo-131]

Looking this back in 2022 is somehow humbling ... just make me realize, that it needs baby steps to get far or big ... love this

[@boyralf7631]

the way you deliver the information is just so good. what a great teacher

[@jstazza9296]

I just brought a light setup today and it's crazy how much difference it likes, I haven't even added diffusers or gels or anything so it's going to look even better when I'm finished but the difference is crazy already

[@sandeepsinghchawla916]

Hands down the best budget lighting setup 🥂✌️

[@axelyeo33]

This is my favourite photography channel!

[@ginol5975]

Reading this now that he has almost 6 mil!! Congrats!

[@hackerbynight107]

First video I ever saw of him, been with him ever since

[@Mannydoesthingss]

I guess this weekend, am watching all videos from previous years. And am gonna use this setup. Awesome videos. Thanks Pete.

[@benji0522]

One of the most awesome reviews I have ever seen.Keep it up CHAMP

[@i.destiny]

My apartment only has 2 windows and faces right into another building so my lighting when I shoot is terrible. I have a ring light when I shoot just myself, but think I might try this option when I'm doing interviews at my place.

[@hopefullythisisit8488]

oh man i am a subscriber since you had 600 hundred subs. You're a blogger and then the gear and everything else I have never seen a youtuber get that many subs in such a remount of time. Keep it up Greez from Germany

[@Worldwheelchairwarriors]

Awesome tips! Thanks so much. Others show very expensive and out of reach setups. I just want something simple, practical for my small space. Thanks again!

[@megansmith9855]

Loving some of the old videos PM. Always so cool to see some of the earlier videos from people’s channels 👍🏻

[@bamxuberant]

I'm looking at your old videos, it's crazy how your quality went up so quickly! This video looked good but your newer videos are just wayyyy better.
