How to get cinematic lighting if you're lazy
1 light + 1 diffuser = hollywood look
Hi,
I get compliments on my lighting every single week

I call it “lazy cinematic lighting” because it has a very natural look, keeps shadows looking nice while keeping my face very clear in frame.
What most don’t know is that this is all from single light.
It is a Godox SL100d + this Lantern Diffuser
I set it up around head height, angled away from my head to get a nice shadow on the opposite side while keeping my cheek shined.
If you want a simple lighting setup that will radically enhance the quality of your videos, get this.
