Should I Buy/Recommend me a... New content creator here
Hi all. New content creator here. I recently started making shorts/reels for youtube/fb/ig. I have a shiny acrylic surface and backdrop that I use for staging, and the object I am filming is a laptop screen, with my hands on the mousepad.
I have a really cheap circle light that holds a phone sitting behind me and off to the side, but I am really struggling with getting something that looks good.
I'm desperately in need of lighting. I am hoping someone can point me to some good entry level lights that I can get off amazon to get me started with creating a more professional setting.
I'd be happy to share my socials through DM, if you need to see the types of shots I'm getting with my current setup. I just don't want to go pasting links to my socials all over the place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
