To make my videos feel more "cinematic", I needed to start learning how to properly light scenes. The best way for me to understand how things work is to build them myself. For this project, I've used materials that I gathered from various places. I used a computer monitor because it already had all the necessary diffusion layers in place. Then, I added a simple daylight LED strip and a dimmer. To practice using this light, I shot many of the scenes inspired by well known youtubers.

List of materials (with affiliate links):
