This is truly impressive. I love what you achieved with just a single light. I would love to know how far away you need to be from the camera? the "black" backdrop? lights? did you achieve this deep black behind the background you in post prod? what light + diffusion would you recommend "on the budget" (let's say $200), Thanks in advance and once again, you nailed it. Love your style.

Thank you for this video! Can we achieve a similar and close quality and effects using a smartphone? E.g. I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 and noticed that there is always too much light in my clips and as I (the subject) move during the video the amount of brightness changes as well (which is really annoying). Could you give a tip on how can I (and potentially other newbies) deal with such situations? Thank you very much!

Hi, first of all, a great video! Subscribed. I can’t achieve split lighting effect with my softbox. I placed my soft box on the subject’s right side and I tried to shot standing opposite to the subject so that it’ll be 90° between the camera and the softbox. For some reason, the entire subject's face is in light instead of just one side. Do I need to have dark background on all sides? My room has white walls. Does it cause a problem for this effect? I don’t know how to fix this. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong ?

@pursueyourcreativemission Жыл бұрын

This is great, thank you so much, It was just what I was looking for! To get the best effect and to control the light is it best to have a completely dark room?
