One of the more common questions I get on YouTube and from new members of our team is - "how do you shoot your white background video?" The truth is, it's simple and way easier than you think.
My main message is that there is no one way to make these. Light the background a bit more than your subject and you're golden. I will admit, I could probably have shown you a bunch of lighting variations and explained how that changes the look. However, if you're doing it on the "cheap" then you may not have all those options available to you. Will most people notice the difference? Probably not.
If you want to get into more detail on this technique, these are the videos I found most useful:
