Lighting Setup for YouTube Videos | Easy and Cheap Cinematic Lighting

[@ItsTomRich]

Who made it to the end of the video? Was it useful to see the whole setup timelapsed?

[@MaxBalzer]

That time lapse at the end was actually really cool to see! Great video as always Tom!

[@ItsTomRich]

Good stuff Max! Glad you enjoyed man 🤙🏻

[@XclusiveDaniel]

It kinda is yeah.

[@FairyAngel111]

Thank you for a very helpful video. So much more helpful then some of the bigger channels doing similar videos. Can I please ask if this key light comes with a battery and if so, did yours come with the battery and charger or you have to buy it separately? Sorry if this is a silly question, I am still learning 😀

[@ItsTomRich]

@@FairyAngel111 You are welcome thanks for watching! No this light is completely powered by a plug :)

[@Yuveraaj07_bajwa]

Thank you so much. Unlike other videos that literally overwhelmed me by showing 20 different lights, I think this setup is what beginners like me really need.

[@thembelihledunjana]

Great video. My videos need lighting! This made it really simple thanks

[@TheiDeviceBlog]

Just wanna say love the direction that your new channel has gone really enjoy watching! Quality content rich more subs deserved. Excited to see the sub count grow. Keep it up 😁👍🏻

[@ItsTomRich]

Yo Jeremy!! Blast from the past happy to see you bro. Thanks so much for following me over and thanks for the kind comment 🤙🏻

[@BrittneeAlexus]

thank you for this!

[@miahdoestech]

This is so just straight to the point and easy to follow. less expensive for new KZbinrs like me. Nice video, keep it up.

[@SteveWillo]

As someone about to embark on my first ever KZbin, I found this helpful because I thought I needed like multiple lights going on, so thanks :)

[@limitless_habesha_tube]

I have never seen a video that is engaging like this

[@chrisdotexe]

👋🏼 Thanks for all these tips, I found you video much more helpful and concise than many others I watched.

[@SebbyClemens]

Dude this was so helpful!! Great video man! I really want to create a dope setup and I was looking for a great key light and I’m definitely going to pick up that Godox one! Keep pumping out 🔥 content man!

[@ItsTomRich]

Good stuff man, really happy you found it helpful!

[@josephschallock1393]

I love the idea of contrasting background colors. I'm going to have to play with that! I bought the sl60w about a month ago and it has been the most amazing addition. I just stick it on a c-stand and walk it around with me while I vlog! Incredible video! Stoked for more

[@ItsTomRich]

That is a hell of a vlogging setup 🤣😝

[@CaraHillVoiceoverArtist]

Great video! I am just getting started on youtube, and this was so helpful. I like how you showed where the lighting was placed within your space. Thank you! 😀

[@MaxBalzer]

First! Setup looking good Tom!

[@ItsTomRich]

Thanks Max!!

Does the SL60W light come with a stand? If not what stand do you recommend? Thanks!

[@billg95]

Great video Tom - Super useful.

[@GadgetsBoy]

Preferred when you had all the lights off tbh :D....great video bro

Perfect lighting setup

[@realnickbryant]

What stand do you reccomend for the key light so I can put it above my head? Thanks so much 🙌

[@bobaisbomb3818]

Did anyone expect a British sounding skater boy to talk about beauty lighting set up? No. But did he nail it? Yes.

[@kabirdave6103]

Very well explained and to the point and hands-on. Thanks a lot !!

[@PetarLeykov]

Amazing video man. Keep it up.

[@ItsTomRich]

Glad it was helpful Petar :)

[@PetarLeykov]

@@ItsTomRich I'm just looking to buy some lighting but can't decide what should it be 😁

[@ItsTomRich]

Can't go wrong with a nice soft directional light! You can get a soft box separate like I have in this video or just search soft video light and ones that include diffusion already will show up :)

[@PetarLeykov]

@@ItsTomRich thanks man.

[@ItsTomRich]

Ah nice man! Happy to see you over here. Good luck with your channel!

[@Samnewtonmusic]

Hey Tom, Thanks for the video. Really helpful. Any suggestions for a stand to use with the Wand light? I guess any old tripod would do?

[@ItsTomRich]

Yeah man! Or a really cheap lighting stand will do it too. Anything with a standard 4/20 thread

[@Kemis_lens]

Thanks so much for the video it's really helpful

[@marcoaureliorocca]

Very nice, thank you! May I ask for help? Is there any FREQUENCY issue to be aware of, when buying light? I am trying to film with the smartphone and my RGB light are flickering on the movie, as if I where filming an old tube television... :( Any hints?

These are some great tips Tom!!! My next investment is going to be a good light instead of a crappy Amazon softbox kit! Maybe the new aperture 100d! Awesome vid Tom! 😁

[@ItsTomRich]

The new aperture light looks great and affordable so nice choice!

Very helpful I would say

[@owen9899]

Hey Tom, great video! Just discovered your videos and they’re super high quality in both content and look. Idk if I just missed this in the description but it might be useful to have an affiliate link for a stand too cause I believe the light doesn’t come with it?

[@andrewallenmedia]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for ! Thank you for explaining it so well while others have failed. Quick question: I have the same Godox light but the stand I’m using isn’t strong enough to support it. Could you send the link to the one you use ? Would greatly appreciate it !

[@ItsTomRich]

Hi Andrew! Thanks for watching 😁 I’ll try and find the stand I use and link it in the description.

[@zeeshanemanuel]

Thankyou for this.

Thank you ma dude!

Lovely ❤️❤️❤️

[@ItsTomRich]

Thanks!

[@brownpunk1794]

hi man..good vid..just a question. When I click on the link for the key light (Godox SL-60w)..the specs say 5600K day light. This can be adjusted right to make it warmer right? cheers

[@AMDesignAndDev]

What's the camera that you're using?

[@ItsTomRich]

I think for this video I was using my EOS R! But it might have been my C200 which I use for my pro work

[@sydneyraab]

I am looking to invest Into a camera right now to film beauty reviews with for KZbin and I have your exact setup! It is so perfect but I need to upgrade my camera so my content looks more high end. I am using the canon g7x mark ii and it’s just not working anymore. I thought about maybe getting the new Sony a7iv but I know nothing about cameras but also can’t start with beginner ones due to me working in front of the camera for TV and needing to have high end looking content up on KZbin soon so I am able to build a career besides that too. Would you say that camera is a good fit or do you have any other recommendations? Any help would be so appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@AMG777]

Great video, but what is the exact model of the softbox you're using? And the RGB Wand light? Because I can't find them it just shows up search results.

[@Inyabizz]

Thank you!

[@mystimallow]

Could you still do something like this if where you make the videos is in a room without doors?

[@ItsTomRich]

Of course!

[@prskyviews]

This reeeally helped me because I left my cam to auto white balance 😂

[@ItsTomRich]

Haha good I'm glad it was helpful

[@ummmar8676]

Great video! But I'm wondering if you will get good/comparable results with this setup if you use the second soft box you link to that doesn't have a grid? (The "Neewer Dodecagon Softbox" rather than the "Neewer 30"x30" / 80cmX80cm Grid Octagon")?

[@ItsTomRich]

Yes the results will be very similar!

[@ummmar8676]

@@ItsTomRich Great, thanks! I was also wondering: this setup has a nice "evening-ish look", what if I want a bit more daytime-like look. Is there any way I could tweak it to obtain that?

[@lenkatrattata]

I was fascinated by the light changes in the beginning, but what's the point watching till the end, when *cheap* turns out to be few hundred dollars? It can be cheap if you are reach, though

[@Souchoroukof]

Great video Tom! Thanks for sharing your tips! From your experience does the Godox light make a lot of noise? I mean in cases that you need great sound quality will I have a problem?

[@ItsTomRich]

Hi! Glad the video helped. No I never have issues really with hearing it in my audio

[@janieceokpobiri3163]

How is your audio so crispy?

[@ItsTomRich]

Haha thanks, shotgun as close as possible to the mouth without being in shot!

[@Daniel3Levi]

Thank you so much

[@t.j.bennett6454]

5600k is a very white color yet when you set your white balance on your camera to 5600k your face took on a more peach and natural color. Did you do some color grading too?

[@ItsTomRich]

Yes probably some saturation to the shot!

[@Makdjf_11]

Omg accent 💜 I wish i can talk like this lol

[@ItsTomRich]

😂😂

[@ryanschachte5095]

Nice video! Do you have any videos on getting your audio to sound so good?
