I actually just bought the 2 pack for myself. I have a better light that I prefer but since I was recommending them I was like… maybe I should actually get them and be certain they are all the hype and they definitely are. I am using them for my drumming videos/livestreams on my other channel “Arturo reacts” and they work great.

I put a bit of your vid into editor and added 5% Contrast 20% saturation, now that would be My preference try it and see the difference, everything just pops out your skin and face nice healthy tone and your shirt looks black and walls dark blue. I should note that I dont have My studio set up however I do understand graphics design same rules apply.

Hey man thanks for the advice. I’m still getting used to color grading. I’m also starting to realize that you need to take breaks for your eyes when doing it because you get used to the way it looks and think it’s looks great while doing the color grading and then when you watch it later you realize…. It’s not that great 😅😅 especially when I compare to my iPhone…

Your camera settings are also important - what was your ISO, white balance and shutter speed?

Nice video @creatorsource. A small tip from a portrait photographer...Angle of Incidence vs. Angle of Reflection. If you have the ability to slightly elevate your key light so that the light hits your lenses and reflects down towards your knees, you can eliminate that reflection altogether. Some trial and error. Your set is looking great though! Very nice presentation.

@Creator-Source 8 ай бұрын

I guess I need a higher stand or something for that. I have the light as high as it can go currently but I’ll keep that in mind for future set ups!

@@Creator-Source your lighting looks amazing and very well thought out. Just added that tidbit. I shoot allot of people with glasses on. It’s always a challenge.

@alexcostafotografia 4 ай бұрын

well lifting up the main even more will put more shadows in to his eyes... I already think is too high... but ... he can move the camera to try to to get out of the reflection angle ... hard choices I guess lol... but yes his light looks nice... just need to tweak the main light a bit more

My dude, I think you can make your vídeos a little brighter. Ther eis this guy Mark Wiemels that always talks about M50 and how to take the most of it with the lights and the sets on the camera. Right now I have a pretty old Canon T3i that I got from a friend and I try to get the max out of it with my lights and setup so I don't need to twink with color correction later. At the moment I use an Elgato Key Light Air near my face to give a nice shadow contrast, an old ring light to give a little orange flaver to the shot, and two little blue lamps in the back to give a nice blue aspect on my videos and some background lights I'm planning to buy a M50 Mark ii next week 🤔

Thanks for this video! Currently trying to upgrade my setup. At 5:08 when you give a glimpse of your setup, I noticed your key light is mounted to a metal shelf of some sort -- do you have a link or model for that?

@Creator-Source 7 ай бұрын

So it’s like a $15 shelf I got on Amazon. One of the random cheap ones. I also got a mount for light (or camera) from Amazon as well which the link for that is in the description

@K9Health 8 ай бұрын

Do you have a video on setting up the M50? I have one but not sure the most cost effective way to set it up

@Creator-Source 8 ай бұрын

It’s not too complicated. I use the lens it came with and keep it at F3.5 Also lower the ISO to like 250-400. In order to use such a low ISO you need a strong powerful light. Once you got that going you can just set the white balance and bam you got a nice picture. It’s all in the lighting though. I used to use cheap $30 ring lights that you see in the video and they just couldn’t cut it.

@KimuraX5 8 ай бұрын

I have an M50, what lens are you using? Did you upgrade your lens? Great video! Thanks!

Nope I am using the standard lens that came with it. No filters or anything extra attached.

Yeah…. It depends on how you save it. If you use like cinematic or anything that saves it as an apple only file then you can’t access it on windows computers. I had to change my videos to save as a mp4 and then make sure they are not too big to be able to do anything with them… it sucks I know but unless you have an apple pc then you can’t do anything with those types of files
