Hello!
Ok, so, I am having such a difficult time with my lighting. It is usually rainy and dark so I bought a trio of soft boxes (hair light, main light, and the third one I can't remember the name for) I watched a youtube tutorial on using them and I have been doing just that. I'm not sure why I can't add link to this thread but these are the lights that come with my set
  • 12 x45 Watt 5500K Light Bulbs, quivalent Output of 200 W incandescent light (total 2400 Watts)

My videos are looking so odd and I don't know what to do. I use the sony exmor HDR-cx260 and I always correct the white balance and on the screen on the camcorder the colours look fine, then I transfer the content to my computer and it looks so weird.
Heres a link to an unlisted video to see the lighting issue. excuse the awkwardness

I would greatly appreciate any advice on this and I thank you for your time.

Hi Sarah. I think you can't post url's because you are not a VIP member yet. Try to modify the url a bit so it won't be recognized as a url. You can use an extra space like youtube . com/....

Also, the link to your channel doesn't work. Find how to fix it here:

AWESOME! thanks so much :) Should be working now
 
That link is not working for me but I have now been taught how to quote previous comments so I thank you for that. :)
