How to not look like a dimly lit potato on camera

Attention all video creators! Are you tired of looking like a dimly lit potato on camera? Do you dream of being a glowing beacon of light that shines brighter than the sun itself? Fear not, for I am here to guide you on the quest for the best lighting!
 
Step 1: Steal the Sun
 
Yes, you heard that right. The sun is the ultimate source of light, and stealing it is the first step to achieving the perfect lighting for your videos. Simply wait until nightfall, sneak into NASA headquarters, and take the sun. It's that easy! Once you have the sun, you can position it wherever you like for the best lighting possible.
 
Step 2: Create a Human Light Stand
 
Sure, you could go out and buy a fancy light stand, but why waste your money when you can create a human light stand? Simply recruit your tallest friend (or hire a professional basketball player) and have them stand behind you, holding a lamp above your head. Not only will this provide excellent lighting, but it will also give you a sense of superiority over your short friends.
 
Step 3: Install a Disco Ball
 
Who needs boring, static lighting when you can have a disco ball?! Install one in your filming space and watch as the room is filled with a rainbow of colors. Bonus points if you also have a fog machine for added dramatic effect.
 
Step 4: Use threesixviews' Magsafe Selfie Light
 
Bring perfect lighting wherever you go with our portable magnetic selfie light. Choose from 12 brightness-warm level combinations to get the best shot no matter what. 200LUX illuminance range for flattering shots near or far. Get yours here.
 
Step 5: Use Fireworks
 
What's more visually stunning than a display of fireworks? Nothing, that's what! Set off a fireworks display behind you as you film and watch as your viewers are mesmerized by the sparkling lights. Just be sure to have a fire extinguisher on hand in case things get a little too hot.
 
Step 6: Become a Lightbulb
 
The ultimate solution to your lighting woes is to simply become a lightbulb. Yes, you read that correctly. Go to your nearest hardware store, purchase a lightbulb, and insert it into your mouth. Not only will you be the brightest thing in the room, but you'll also have a handy source of light whenever you need it.
And there you have it, folks! Five foolproof ways to achieve the best lighting for your videos. Now go forth and shine like the stars you are!
