A three-light setup for video: key light (like an Amaran 100D) on your best side, a hair light behind you to separate from the background, and a household lamp for warmth. Professional results without becoming a lighting expert.
Here's a super easy way to light your videos like a pro entrepreneur who doesn't want to be a videographer but still wants their stuff to look fire edition. First, we start with our main light source, a.k.a. our key light. I almost always have this slightly shifted to one side of my face, preferably your pretty side like this. And one of my favorite lights, if you're just getting started, is the Amaran 100D. Light number 2, our hair light. So this is going to help us stand out from the background a little bit and gives our shot some depth. We're going to set this up directly across from our key light right behind us. This was a crazy cheap LED light that I got from Amazon maybe 10 years ago, and it still works. And last, we got the vibe light. I think technically it's called a practical light, but this just keeps your shot feeling a little more natural. Any lamp around the house or office could work for this. Not to get lost in the sauce, but— If you don't got no sauce, then you lost. I like to have this light as a different temperature or color than the key light and hair light. And if you're an entrepreneur or business owner and you need some help with what gear to pick up, comment the word gear and I'll shoot you over a guide on what equipment I would personally pick up.
