Hi, welcome to the video, my name is Roger aka. RustyRoj. And today we're going to be talking about lights
So I'm gonna show you how I went from
this
to this
So, how did I achieve it? Well, this is the AHH!
This is the Yongnuo 300 Air Pro video light LED panel. It's bi-colour, which means its got two colours
if you didn't know what bi meant
And ah,
And it goes from zero all the way up to, as you saw, very bright
I picked this up the other day because I was really struggling with my light and I was trying to use a work lamp and that
Wasn't working out and so I said, "I need a proper light", but I wanted something small, compact. Look at this
It's not very big. It's nice and compact, um
But I wanted something small, light, compact. It's battery-powered too so I don't have to worry about plugging it in and
This is this is the light that I went for
It all came packed with the charger and everything like that. So it was really, really good value. It's got a simple button on the back. It's just
On and off but this dial, ops, this dial as well
Helps you adjust the brightness all the way up all the way down. It's got two colours
So this is your, as you can see this is the more
orangey, what do you call it?
orangey? Orangey light? This is the
3200K and it goes nice and bright
And then all the way down to zero and then you've also got the 5500K, which is your natural
Sunlight, daylight, whatever you want to call it. And again that goes all up as well
And if you combine them both you can make it really, really, really bright. Look at that
I'm blowing out my levels like you wouldn't believe
And look at this. Wow look how pretty I look under this light, don't I look amazing? No?
Anyway, this is a very, very bright light, hang on I'll turn it off now. It's a very bright light. It's an awesome light.
For one it comes with this handle which makes it easy
You can hold it and move it and do whatever you like but on here, as well, there's a shoe, cold shoe mount
There, can you see that cold shoe mount?
So it's got a cold shoe mount on there which means you can basically mount it to anything with a ...cold...shoe...
It is an LED so it doesn't get hot like some of my other
Experiments turned out when I was trying to light the back with the halogen
and it was to warm and I couldn't put a gel over it and it was awful.
So the other buttons you've got on the back, if you can have a look there, we've got your temperature control and
In terms of your light, your Kelvin control. You've got your coarse or fine light.
I've been pressing that button and I couldn't figure out the difference because of the diffuser on the front
I don't think it matters greatly
it doesn't seem to change the quality of the light and you've also got a set button. A set button essentially allows you to
set a certain
Like you can set your colour temperature you can set how bright you want it. Press and hold set and it's like a preset
So when you turn on the light, you can just pres set and it'll go to what you use every day
So you're not fiddling around with the with a button too much?
The milk diffuser is amazing because it gives you a nice soft light straight off the bat. Like if I
turn this on its going to go all the way down
So even when you've got it low, you can see it's a nice soft light
It's not glaring. You don't see any streaks and if I can put that up to the lens. Look look you can see that
It's light, you can see that it's bright but you're not seeing glare.
It's not a glarey light which is really useful for a key light because I can put this above me...hang on,
Let me turn it all the way up. I can put this above me as a key light and I'm not blinded by it
It's bright. Yes, but it lights my face. Look if I put it right here, right from my face. Look
It's right, right here like this right here, now,
Okay, now it's starting to get a bit much but right here, it's bright, but I'm not blinded by it
I don't close my eyes and get spots in front of my eyes when I close my eyes because it's a nice soft light
But that means you can get some very natural-looking light. Look at that, it looks great. It's close to my face, but it's not
It's not
Sorry, I'm ruining my shot. Look it looks beautiful and then take it away and um,
So from now on I'll be lit by this
It's a great little light. I highly recommend it
You can find it pretty cheaply pretty much anywhere. Here in New Zealand
This costs me, including the battery and the charger, about a hundred and forty bucks
So it was a really, really good deal really good and I really recommend it. I'm loving using this so
Yeah, that's all I have to say, I guess I'll go back to a pretty lighting now
So there you go much better. That is a Yongnuo 300 Air Pro LED Video Light.
Hopefully you've learned something from this video. If you have please
Like below, throw me some comments as well. I want to hear from you guys
I want to know what sort of lights you're using?
What sort of things you've learnt about using video lights or lighting your studio because let's all learn from each other
And also if you haven't already subscribed, please do, it would mean the world to me. Thank you very much for those who have
That's it really follow me on Twitter at RustyRoj on Twitter, at RustyRoj on Instagram as well and until next time
Take care of yourself. I'll see you very very soon in the next video
Now I need to cover the lens with something. Here. This will do
So do you wanna see how it all goes together? Look here's the
Here's the Yongnuo, that's pointing at my face making me look pretty and then if I spin this around you'll see down here
I have a work lamp. So this is just the, If I move these, I have some gels on it to make it blue
otherwise
It's just a cheap work lamp that just lights up the wall and then here where I've got all these
Cameras and things I've just got an LED strip that plugs in a USB
Sitting on the back and that gives me my backlighting look at that looks great. Doesn't it?
There you go. That's a little behind-the-scenes of how I've lit everything, if you've got any questions throw a comment below
I'll see you guys in the next video
