Jim Shorts 7 - Three Point Lighting

[jaapvw66]

Use the Key light for the "short side" of the face and the fill light for the "long side" of the face. The way you made your set up with the key light on the "long side" of the face, gives a "flat" look.

JIM WAS GIDDY

[MultimediaJay]

ROFL. If you weren't telling jokes the whole time, this is a textbook example of how people instinctively crack up whenever they're on camera for the first time. Happened in my videoconferencing class back in college too. LOL.

[somecallmejim]

Jay, If I told you what I was doing to get those smiles out of her....Well, actually it's probably not that much worse than some of the stuff in my videos, but still...

:-D

[Abbey7]

It's so nice that you and your wife were able to film these "shorts" together today! Excellent teamwork on an excellent series!!

[somecallmejim]

We were excited to get to do this together. She loves playing on YouTube (as do I), though she's not quite ready for her own channel...yet :-D

[Urgelt]

Great job, Jim.

Your talent has a great smile. :-)

[somecallmejim]

Thanks Urgelt! She's great at smiling! It's one of the things I loved about her before I even fully came to love her :-)

Thank you so much for putting this up so quickly after my request! So please everyone, if you have questions-ask Jim! I am anxious to learn more! Sheryle

No problem. I was more than happy to oblige. If you've got any future questions, with any hope I can help you out then as well!

Jim, I really like your instructional videos (Heck, I like all your videos). You rock! -- Matt

[somecallmejim]

Thanks Matt! I'll keep 'em coming!

Jim

[rowinfun]

thanks dude, I had been wondering how to set up lights

[somecallmejim]

Yep, it's actually pretty easy. Three lights, none of them directly in front or behind your subject, and you're set!

Later!
