"well i like her but i can't see her face "

Have you ever felt like this while watching youtube videos ?? 
well i love her personality but i just wish i could actually see her, its so dark.

Here are a few easy and inexpensive tips i have learned over the past few years.

1. Natural light is your best friend . Not only does it look amazing in the videos but its FREE !!! only down side is, well unless its summer solstice it gets dark at night .  On great sunny days here is what i do, site my camera on the window ledge and film like that, this way the sun light is behind the camera and its making my face glow with the perfect light                                                                                                                                                                    
2.  Proper artificial lighting, i know your thinking this is going to be expensive right ??? WRONG !! what i did was went to home depot and got two painers lamps( the ones in the photo) $6.00 a piece and they clamp on to anything. I have mine clamped to my mirror and then i put my camera on a stand in front of that. 
3. Daylight bulbs for your lamps, i use mind in my painters lamps, but if you have just a floor lamp it would help the lighting in those as well.
4. Vellum Paper- i use vellum paper and tape it over my painters lamps to help make the lighting look better on film.
5. Camera- I need a new camera, i would love to have an HD camcorder but for right now i am using my Canon digital camera and it works fine.
6. have an overhead light on if you have one.
