[@ScottBalkum]

Its the little details that sell everything.

[@BorrachoTarot]

This is exactly the type of stuff we need on youtube. Great work, sir, and beautifully explained. New subscriber.

[@ScottBalkum]

Thank you

[@nycvideoauditions]

FANTASTIC, Scott. I loved every second of this. Thanks.

[@ScottBalkum]

Thank you.

[@PDMokry]

Love the mix of color temps!

[@cogmission1]

Wow, I didn't know you had all those lights going on? I also didn't know you could mix and match cool and warm interspersed like that! Thank you, that was very informative!

[@RoydenWakefield]

Really enjoyed that, chuckled to myself as you slid the back wall away for the reveal. I'm always super interested in people's lighting setups as I'm only a novice, and need to start building out my lighting fixtures. Thank you

[@chrisvanderschaaf]

Love the setup!

[@ScottBalkum]

Thanks dude.

[@mierimageaerials]

You did it!!! Not sure if it had anything to do with my request, but you made it happen and I am all the more thankful for you doing so!! Thank you so very much for this, Scott!! Just what I was hoping for!

[@TheLensCuff]

I usually skip over most of the lighting breakdowns but you make it very fun and interesting! Each one of us has their own way of lighting with the tools at our disposal, but it sure is interesting to get a look at another professional's way of lighting a scene and engaging in creative problem solving :) Cherry on top, the awesome twist in the end! - knew that was coming ;)

[@BillHertzing]

Always great instruction.

[@scottievee330]

Just wondering. The WB on you, is that set accurate or warm on the creative license scale? I go on the warm "healthy" look too. Just short of jaundice. I know my white balance is off and it's a choice. Just wondering if that's how you roll. I see people from the UK shooting accurate. As in, very pale. Not a slight. My mum was a Brit. But sometimes I think shoot in RAW and minor adjustments and you can pretend you've seen the sun in a minute. BTW I like your set up. Love the Texas snow.

[@ScottBalkum]

I set it on me a little warm on the light to give me a little warm glow. I tend to shoot clooser to accurate with clients though.

Hey Scott! Man... we shot 20 pages of scripted dialog today... FML! EDIT: Now that I've had some sleep, you've done a great job with your YT studio. I really like the background rolls you have from the ceiling too. I've been using a similar setup with one of the v1 MC's underneath my prompter just to open up under my chin(s) a bit. Those MC Pros look really awesome. Are you powering them from a USB battery brick or just the internal battery? Considering you do your marathon live shows, I'm thinking you have to be powering them with something.
