[0:00] in this video we are going from this to
[0:03] this it's very easy to do you can do
[0:06] this at home so stay tuned
[0:08] [Music]
[0:19] hey how's it going so this has been my
[0:23] backdrop for maybe a couple of months or
[0:27] a bit longer and I'm not very proud of
[0:29] it the thing is that I'm in my garage
[0:31] and I am in the process of rebuilding
[0:34] this garage into a full-blown YouTube
[0:37] Studio but it's just taking too long
[0:39] time it's taking longer than I expected
[0:41] I have a carpenter friend of mine who
[0:44] was supposed to help me out but he's
[0:45] very busy so in the meanwhile I was
[0:47] thinking instead of having this kind of
[0:49] sad backdrop I was thinking okay I've
[0:51] got this old green screen lying about so
[0:55] let's make it into a virtual YouTube
[0:58] Studio instead now you might have a
[1:00] similar situation that you have a spare
[1:02] bedroom or a garage like me but you
[1:06] don't really want to either spend the
[1:08] money on rebuilding it into a YouTube
[1:11] studio so get yourself a a green screen
[1:14] and you're good to go now I do recommend
[1:16] using a paper background instead of a
[1:20] like these kind of fabrics that you have
[1:23] because they get creases all the time
[1:25] and it's just not going to work as
[1:28] easily as paper before we put the green
[1:31] screen down we are using today a eye
[1:34] footage key light with a huge softbox
[1:37] attached to it also from I footage and
[1:39] I'm using a small pocket LED light from
[1:43] Scion M40 fibre as a kind of a fill
[1:48] light but let's start making this into a
[1:50] virtual set instance
[1:53] so these kind of backdrops you can get
[1:56] from all the kind of places that sells
[1:59] photography
[2:00] video equipment it's not very expensive
[2:04] I just attached it to my wall but you
[2:07] can get stands for it as well I think
[2:09] that you can get a stand for about a
[2:12] hundred dollars and the backdrop as well
[2:14] is going to set you back about hundred
[2:16] dollars as well but relatively speaking
[2:18] it is not too expensive now I have
[2:21] enlisted this um this green screen as
[2:23] obviously we need to do I tried some
[2:25] different kind of methods to light it as
[2:28] you would usually do like from the sides
[2:30] so that the green screen is evenly lit
[2:33] but I found that I've got this huge lead
[2:37] panel I mean this is a monster this is
[2:40] from gvm and it's an RGB light as well
[2:44] so instead of just putting it on a
[2:48] normal Daylights or possibly
[2:51] um well whatever lights as it's a RGB
[2:54] light you can also put green so I was
[2:57] thinking how is that going to look like
[3:00] check this out
[3:09] I mean my whole room looks like it's
[3:13] green oh I'm looking at myself on the
[3:15] monitor in case you're checking out the
[3:16] beer camera and you probably can also
[3:18] see this microphone that is what I
[3:20] usually use but as I'm walking around in
[3:22] this video I have attached a lab mic if
[3:25] you're interested all the equipment that
[3:27] I'm using I want to put links to in the
[3:28] description now we have set up this
[3:31] green nice background I mean you don't
[3:33] have to have a huge expensive LED panel
[3:37] like that one if you have a RGB light
[3:39] like the Saucony lights that I have
[3:42] reviewed you can use that one as well
[3:44] but remove the cone from it so that it
[3:47] doesn't become a spotlight but it lights
[3:50] the room more evenly let's have a look
[3:52] at where I actually found the image that
[3:55] I'm going to use in the backdrop for
[3:57] this video Cause and mouth
[4:01] public so the image I founded on motion
[4:05] array because they just added images and
[4:08] graphic files as well like for Photoshop
[4:11] and illustrator I believe so I was like
[4:13] okay I'm gonna check that out since this
[4:15] background is not going to be my final
[4:17] one I'm not gonna put like oh this is a
[4:19] nice background it looks like you're in
[4:21] the living room I'm gonna go all the way
[4:23] and it's gonna look over the top but I
[4:26] kind of like it I found this kind of
[4:28] futuristic looking living room and I
[4:31] thought uh that looks kind of cool so
[4:33] I'm gonna use that one let's put it
[4:35] behind me and see what happens
[4:38] so this is how you would maybe light it
[4:42] up if you're starting out and it looks
[4:45] okay but there are levels that you have
[4:49] to add to make it look even better I did
[4:51] flip the image around because I have my
[4:54] key light over here and that was kind of
[4:56] replicating the lights shining through
[4:59] that window in this image that I have
[5:01] used you can see that there's like a
[5:02] quite strong orange light coming from
[5:05] this side of the image I have set up
[5:08] here a couple of pocket RGB lights and
[5:12] you might see it over there in the big
[5:13] camera but if we switch on this orange
[5:16] light you can already see on my mouse
[5:20] and the desk here but I have some orange
[5:24] spill from the RGB that looks like it
[5:27] might come from that light in the image
[5:29] you can see his hair now you can also
[5:32] see up there there are some teal light
[5:35] let's do the same let's switch on
[5:37] another pocket RGB lights
[5:40] foreign
[5:42] [Music]
[5:45] replicates that light in the ceiling now
[5:50] to separately a little bit more from the
[5:52] background I found that I need to have a
[5:55] rim light or a hair light so I just
[5:58] attached This little light tube I have a
[6:02] fluorescent lights up there but of
[6:05] course that color is wrong so since this
[6:07] is magnetic I found that I can just
[6:09] click it on
[6:12] get one you touch it
[6:14] and you can now see that I have this
[6:18] shine that could replicate a little bit
[6:20] the light from the living room now the
[6:23] living room window but it also just
[6:26] looks a little bit more professional
[6:29] so this is the footage before it's color
[6:31] graded I have maybe changed the curves a
[6:33] bit I have blurred out the background a
[6:36] little bit so it looks a little bit more
[6:37] realistic and on top of both layers both
[6:40] myself and the background layer I have
[6:43] put one of my cinematic Luts so that I
[6:46] blend in a little bit better in that
[6:49] scene and to add the little extra spice
[6:52] on top of everything since I don't have
[6:55] time to use Fusion or after effects or
[6:57] stuff like that I just created this kind
[7:00] of fake light wrap you can see it on my
[7:03] shoulder over here maybe a little bit on
[7:05] this one as well it just makes it look a
[7:08] little bit more realistic so to finish
[7:10] up if you want to make your green screen
[7:13] your virtual sets look more realistic
[7:15] add a couple of RGB lights in your scene
[7:19] because that is going to separate you
[7:21] from the amateurs with the professionals
[7:23] just like I did with only those two
[7:25] lights over there it makes the whole
[7:28] difference in a green screen setup to
[7:31] remove the green screen that's a whole
[7:33] video for itself you can remove green
[7:35] screen or chroma in general using a
[7:38] Final Cut Pro Premiere Pro DaVinci as
[7:42] I'm using the process is very similar if
[7:45] you are not using green screen in your
[7:46] setup check out this video right here
[7:49] where I have multiple scenarios where
[7:52] you can light your YouTube videos in
[7:55] your living room or bedroom or wherever
[7:57] you are filming
[7:59] check it out
