Lighting is everything when you are trying to do a good YouTube video.

My tablet is what I will use for the next one. It will be me talking about this and that. It will be more issues and a little update on me. Just hope the orange dictator doesn't pull a big boner right after I post.
But I have been fighting with lighting. Long time ago, I had a lighting kit. But now I don't. Going to have to film in the kitchen area I think. Brightest light in the apartment.
Also, I have a an American flag that I I was thinking of using as a backdrop. Know a couple of people who can help me hang it.
And my eye patch will be in tomorrow, so I won't have to have an eye closed as I'm filming.

But back to the lighting. I was thinking about using the flashlight on my phone to help, but I need it to keep notes and look up quotes. I do have a couple of mirrors and some tin foil that can help bounce light to help with shadow issues. But it will still not be the best. Just hope viewers will be understand, this is being done with a "need shoestrings" budget.
