Whats up guys! Today, I’m teaching you how to rig a beautiful cinematic lighting setup $50 or less.
Lighting is SO IMPORTANT and its pretty easy to get great results FAST. This is how I quickly throw together a studio light setup for filming inside without natural light on a tight budget!

Haha I was expecting you to follow up the ironing board line with “I’ll drop some links to some cheap ironing boards down below.” By the way this is the best looking, best working and cheap DIY light set up I have ever seen. I can’t believe I have not thought of it!
i need to learn about camera settings for filming. i have a nikon d3300 . i go by ISO settings and wing the rest. im new to this.
I started sharing your channel to my facebook!
Hey Peter, your videos are amazing! I am very new to making videos but I want to start and your videos have been very helpful. I always thought making videos was something that required thousands of dollars to do and only if you’ve had years of training to make anything look good, so I never tried. Not saying it’s easy to make great pieces but you’ve opened my eyes to the fact that some of these things aren’t that hard to do, just have to start, practice, and work your way up. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work!!!!
What camera settings did you have? Regarding ISO, Aperture, etc. cause i feel like im always playing with them trying to get the right look but I can never find it
Thanks, with your help my YouTube channel will be a visual success once launched!!!
thanks so much peter!
Thank you for these awesome videos! Really enjoy watching and learning new things. Keep up the good job! 🙂
Can I use clamp lights instead of the LED light?
How to get Shots with a dark background!!!
Can you please do a more in depth video on lighting and the different techniques of lighting just so people like me who dont really understand it can grasp the concept…nothing TOO deep but maybe just scratch the surface…and maybe you can do a couple different parts to it so the people who subscribe to you that dont really understand lighting can follow and learn more advanced tricks of the trade as you go along. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Great channel btw!
What about using 5000 k light bulbs white balanced light?

Nice video Pete!
Whenever I have a problem, you have the solution!
this is perfect! I already use color plastic but I see the gel is soft and that’s cool.
The problem is that I like to shoot outside so if you have more ideas of lighting outside (without cables) it would be perfect, I have some ideas but I have to learn. Cheers!
rim light from your screen is doing it!
Do you recommend just the blue gel to start, or are other colors necessary? I notice you’re only using the medium blue in the video. Thanks!
I love your channel. Keep it up! Subbed btw and can you give me any tips? I just started photography.
Why the light of the LED panel turns yellow when you put the foam core?
Man I would really love to see more lighting tutorials. Different looks, etc. Loving the channel too, I’m going back and watching the rest of your videos. Thanks for what you’re doing!!
gaff tape melts on hot lights, C47’s are the way to in most cases.
Peter, you have inspired me to do more and better things in my community i hope you have a nice day . you deserve a better channel and more subs
this is awesome!!!!! thank you Peter!

those gel things are great. Orange lights kills my mood. Thanks.
Awesome video! I’ve got some philips hue RGB lights laying around my house. Do you think those could work in place of geling a work light?
niiiiice chief.
another great video for beginners, btw, that blue gel is called a CTB not CTO, CTO is orange 🙂
Thank You so much for all that tips….Thank You Thank You!!!!
