I used to be the window light only guy! Nothing wrong with it, but shooting KZfaq videos with window light fluctuating in and out can be SO frustrating! Using a proper video light gives you that tasty consistency and will pump that production value 10 fold! Hope you guys enjoy! COFFEE TIME!

Lighting can change the overall quality of your film/video. It is very important to manage how ever each setup differs from situation to situation. I love reflectling lights from a white sheet & usually block off direct light. Makes a world of a difference. Its a great video Pete, Thanks !

I'm not a regular here, but find myself at times binging through Peter's videos. I do love that KZfaq's platform has made it so accessible to learn from such awesome people, even though I don't take advantage of that as often as I should. This is the one channel I value over any others when I'm looking for a review of a certain piece of equipment or learning new techniques for shooting or post. Keep killing it Peter. Hope to someday run into you through the industry and keep learning from you.

And on the plus side, as with a light saber, when you construct your own lighting equipment it gives one a greater understanding of the craft! Great vid

I googled it and apparently they have a kit with barndoors mine didnt come with barndoors the kit I saw ran for 99.99 I think mine cost like 65 or 80 or so when i got mine that doesn't have barndoors.

Just what I've been needing. I still hold the window light advice to heart though! If you're next to a window, abuse the heck out of it. A while ago I found out even when I use my studio lights, my quality still looks so much better when I record during the day. So if you have window light and a studio light, why not use both!

Also he didn't talk about it but that blue back light is also reflecting on his side face, it's very subtle and hard to notice (that's why it's so good) but gives a very nice 3D/sci-fi look to the overall video. I don't know if he did it by purpose but great job Pete!
