Could You at the end of Your videos tell us what do you like the best? I don't like to think for myself.

[@monkeysnark7043]

Whaaat??….. 😮😂😂😂😂

[@martydibergi5228]

and That is a clever statement

[@martydibergi5228]

ask Markus for help kids

[@AllThingsFilm1]

The good thing about ND filters when shooting indoors, is that you can make the practical lights - like the lamp behind you - look more like what you see with your own eyes. And compensating for the ND with your key light. This approach is actually more creative than not. Without NDs, practical lights can look blown out in many situations. So, I applaud you for your use of NDs.

[@hermanosfotografos]

Nikon looks amazing

[@Deepviewmedia]

I love how you teach!

[@ShadesOClarity]

I think Kasey and Jason from Grainydays are the best camera channels on KZbin, although Jason shoots film.

[@evankolpack]

Kasey, you're obsessed with good skin tones (don't blame ya). Get an Amaran 200x S (or two) for the most accurate color currently on the market @ 90-91 SSI. They're currently on sale direct via Aputure for $279 USD. Ideally, get two, one as a key, one as a fill. If 200w is too much for your living room studio, get the smaller 100 or 60.

[@ShadesOClarity]

Now we are getting into the "The Godfather" realm of under-exposure in the intro. Popperapzzi style. I like your lighting.

[@frankinblackpool]

I really enjoy your episodes, especially for their fun entertainment value, however today... I especially enjoyed this episode and learned an awful lot about setting up indoor lighting. If you ever did any more indoor lighting experiments, then I'd be one happy little bunny.

[@jean-philippegrignom6479]

For the key light You should get a nanlux 1200b with the parallel beam reflector shot from the other side of the room into a godox knowled liteflow 100 2 fixed to the far left wall bounced into a large book light right next to you. That seems like a pretty reasonable set up for you.

[@AprilClayton]

Lighting technique is important, but comedic timing is everything You’ve mastered the timing.

[@adinbradic7092]

I used to put light closest to subject (human) possible, just out of frame. and it took me some time to understand that Inverse Square Law is REAL. if you put key light close, the nearest part of face to the light will be super bright, almost impossible not to clip, and other side too dark and whole face just not evenly light and not nice. on the other hand, if you move a key light away from a subject, that light becomes smaller relative to the subject, and that is not faltering, because smaller light gives harder shadows (sun is huge but too far away, hence relatively small and shadows are too strong. so, the point is, the light should be at least 4 feet away from subject, in half body or head shot, and even more if the frame is bigger. i get the best results when i shoot softbox through additional big diffuser panel, keeping the panel 4 to 6 feet away from the subject.

[@adinbradic7092]

also, i always prefer setups without fill light, or fill light being super low brightness, to avoid having to flat of the look. that is why bounce cards work great.

[@Deepviewmedia]

My man. I love this video!!

[@rustyshackelford87]

I'm gonna need a tubeless hobo t-shirt @6:33

[@unclebillscamping]

Exposing to the right looked the best to me. Skin tones were soft and the color was less red

[@Lance_MadCat]

7:41 bottom left text got my attention real good 👏

[@davidketchen]

I looked up darking in the dictionary... you were right

[@ShutterSymphonies]

For the rest of us we've learned nothing today. For Kasey a strong light without the grid works the best.

[@impulsesystems]

Rembrandt handled it well, a while ago.

[@mavfan1]

Moving the light farther away makes the light worse/shadows harder not softer. Soft is all about light coming from a wider angle.

[@nshea3286]

And making the light brighter.. doesn't make it softer.. Otherwise the Sun would be an incredibly soft source

[@mooksdfe]

This man is correct.

[@phil669]

Ok, happy thoughts it is.

[@colinhoward2200]

It is always about exposure I think - I have spent hours on that! The cameras do not help - they get it wrong. You have to use your eyes I find. Your problem is you are trying to learn how 4 makes of cameras work. If you stick with one, and learn it, maybe you will get to the “truth”.

[@hanshart1413]

Finally you realise that lighting matters more than cameras and lenses

[@PhotosByMotaz]

4 feet was my favorite

[@velvetvideo]

"i'm not gonna do up/down..." -_- "i might" haha

[@Austinite333]

Dear Mr K. I think Mr Mpix just had a little fun at your expense in his last video. Maybe I’m wrong but hey I enjoy watching you both anyway.

[@yawningmarmot]

Never thought you could have too much dynamic range. But man, that lamp in the background now looks so dim like it's not even shining :)

[@OneOldManRiding]

We always learn something, we never know quite what... - Frank

[@charliejg]

I'm thinking Markus could help here.....

[@NorthernWhisper]

We love some good skin Tonehs

[@KonstantinProsnikov]

3:30 1% light 1 feet away no grid looks best 7:11 is good too (a bit dramatic and youtubery) but red lut has vampiric bloody reds on Christmas lights and the face I hope one day you will become as prime adept of Holy Light Ratios church as you are an adept of 3d-pop one currently.

[@JayWalsh]

So, coming from portrait world... Some of my best work came from using the minimal amount of light close up. I think your 1% worked better.

[@ArmchairExpert76]

You really are special sometimes

[@doesitgame]

“I can see why people don’t do this…” 🤣

[@sertocd]

Watch CVP's studio shots. It's one of your favorite channels. They nailed lighting every time.

[@jpsteiner2]

Is Mitsubishi the parent company for all lighting?

[@Ignoramous-r4m]

1% light looks great

[@Genv6]

With how much you focus on colors and skin tones, I'm surprised you haven't done a deep dive into color rendering index... R9 CRI might just send you down quite a rabbit hole.

[@lennutrajektoor]

Your dying CPU cooler fan is audible. Heehee.

[@larrydiaz7156]

Exposing to the right with a 5000$ camera with 14-stops of DR must be a crime. I blame Sony and their shitty log curve from the 8-bit days.

[@TomScryleus]

for more 3D pop, try backlighting your subject (you in this case).

[@adhi_atma]

Finally you learn something , i hope lol

[@ivandj707]

Remove the grid and turn the light towards the wall so that it bounces off the walls and ceiling, this way you will get a more diffused light, of course try different angles and see which one works best. Then if you want, add another light from behind you to get depth and three-dimensionality (but it should be out of the frame). And finally, use a third light to illuminate the background (the shelf and the room in the dark areas which, when unlit, give noise in the shadows, which is especially pronounced on Nikon shots) although this third light is not necessary if you really want your background to be dark and noisy 😒.

[@cameraconspiracies]

I used to do that in the past, it always looked way worse. Thanks lol.

[@shagral]

8:34 stepping on some mighty thin ice there, mate. Turn back while there's still time

[@GODlikeTeaching]

jack of all trades (4 camera systems) master of none, but still better then one :)) if you also master lighting, colors, composition and frame rulls you will be unstoppable in the next 1000 lives :)), just like a vampiere, and rich (hoarder of gear :)) ) thank you hobo from another continent >:D

[@krazywabbit]

What most people get wrong about lighting. Questioning.

[@SummitSmile]

Now light will start to have 3D pop.

[@NoTrail]

Vegetable Polke?

[@michaelajoseph6856]

Exposing for the skintones and you are red again. The preferred color!

[@jimmay8627]

The difference surprised me when you exposed to the right vs. exposing for skin tones. I'd stick to exposing for skin tones if it were me, as I'm already too white. I wonder how your comparative evaluation of the cameras' color science would change if you exposed all of them to the right.

[@travelswithtrigger]

Any light is softer the loser it is to the subject -just an fyi!

[@Adogcallednoortje]

With less lighting you get more colorcast

[@davidleach919]

It's not the light, it is your skin tone. Living in Canada does not provide a tan.

[@dkkeyz8815]

What’s the white noise in the BG? Fan? Is that some kind of music part?

[@Joe_VanCleave]

The cooling fan in his PC is shot. He did a video recently talking about computer upgrade options.

[@Erkko69-q3e]

Dear mr. Keseye, 3D-pop Priest. Im Happy you have friend "ghost" WHO has spezilised Lightningin. It's that Guy, WHO have that sexy blondy model in hes channel. You can hire him, when you get 20million $ for movie. Thank you. 😀👍🎥🛠️📢

[@expatlifestyle2000]

Sometimes i watch you on 144p resolution. Because its disrespectful....

[@YesItsMikeHall]

Exposing to the right makes your skin look less red. NLOG will continue to be a battle until Nikon can dish out some better video tools. Have you used an external monitor with your Z6III? I use my Atomos with my Z6III to some degree of success.

[@eciruamekard4440]

Commented and liked

[@justsomeframes]

First choose the camera Settings u want then the light, otherwise u will end up in a mess. Dont try to fix random light strength and distance inside the camera.

[@GoodBaleadaMusic]

I made a full 5 minute live video for the song.

[@puppet_master]

Further away from light is harder, not softer...

[@sertocd]

1% has the effect on your face as if you put some foundation on.
