Hi Triger!

Yes, it seems counter intuitive to point the light AWAY from your subject, but that is indeed usually the way to go!

Glad this video helped you!

I am glad you liked my video. Having done field video production forever and a day, there is no doubt in my mind that the most important aspects of lighting for video production are exactly what I cover in this video. Knowing direct/diffused and considering which direction the light is coming from. If you understand those concepts, you can figure out how to light in any situation you find yourself in.
