A 'Lighting' Talk - 3 Point Lighting For Video in 5 Minutes
summary
Explains a practical three‑point setup: key light as the main illumination, fill light to soften the opposite side, and an optional backlight to separate subject from background; recommends starting with a single key or key+fill. Advises locking camera exposure/frame rate in the webcam driver, using small $50 USB battery LED panels with diffusion or cheap desk lamps plus tracing paper, and avoiding visible on‑camera lamps, floodlights, or uncontrolled daylight that causes exposure swings.
