Learning how to use video LED light with Beyond Reviews and vlog branding with Creator Launchpad

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

I got a chance to catch the workshop and seminar by Beyond Reviews and Creator Launchpad in Commune Cafe in Makati. I arrived late and almost missed the lighting tutorial, but I got in the right time to see how to use the LED light properly when filming a video.

The lighting brand that was featured is the LEDGO LG-B560 Video LED Kit, its a set of three LED light with tripod stand. You can purchase a set at MQ Lighting in Makati ( can't remember if the set is at around PHP20k)

So what did I learn?
- understanding how to properly use the fill light and back light
- take note of the shadow on the subject and also the background
- Setting the right ISO and also EV when working with lights
- If working on one LED Light, its better to find a window with natural light as your added backlight

Blake Sarion of Beyond Reviews is amazed on how strong the light power of the LEDGO LG-B560, which he mentioned it is really good for vlogging.

But we got a tip from MQ Lighting that they will launch soon a new LEDGO model with two modes of light colors. Hmmm we're going to wait for that.

During the workshop, I didn't know that they are also filming it for the next episode of Beyond Reviews. Watch the video below to see the entire episode.

Ted askeed a question about the difference of lighting in filming and photography.

After the lighting workshop, our friend Gab from Creator Launchpad took the stage and shared to us some nice tip about to power up your Youtube channel

Of course, the most important thing is to take care your branding because that is your identity.

Masarap pa din ang tapsilog sa Commune! I always order this.

Something that I haven't fixed yet in my Youtube channel, adding the channel keywords.

After the workshop, we visited MQ Lightings at the next street, its a store that sells anything for lighting, tripods and camera gears. I always cross this street and I didn't even noticed this store.
Go check it out.

Btw, they are also the distributor of Manfrotto tripods. I also learned that they can repair Manfrotto tripods. Im going to bring my Manfrotto compact tripod for repair on my next visit.
