10 Tips to Improve Your Home Studio & Productivity

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Man, love it all! Honored to have Curtis as my co-sound blanket recommender. Also... iPhonedo... That guy is the best!

[@curtisjudd]

🙌🏻

[@iPhonedo]

Caleb!!! I love your work so much! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@curtisjudd]

All sorts of great tips here! Interesting that not one of them was, "Buy a new camera, lens, microphone."

[@drhamham1]

If people weren't in the market for new products, you'd lose some traffic ;)

[@twosheafilms]

Exactly. Thank you Curtis for your honesty!!!

[@curtisjudd]

@@drhamham1 Agreed. And we have to have gear to make video. But sometimes we lose sight of some of the more practical things - problems which can be solved with non-electronic solutions.

[@curtisjudd]

@@twosheafilms 👍

[@HakimZziwaTips]

@@curtisjudd I agree on this one, its one of my goals

[@BeckiandChris]

So many good tips!! Thanks for having me!

[@TimothyGordon]

Becki and Chris the suggestions you offered were FANTASTIC Becki, thanks for that. 👍🏼

[@pal2tech]

There are more KZbin superheroes in your videos than Avengers: Endgame.

[@JamieFenn]

Loved this video. It’s fantastic to see you bringing other creatives together like this. Do it again! 🙌🏼

[@nazhif1]

I don't think there's anyone better to explain sound than Curtis 👌🏽

[@curtisjudd]

Thanks nazhif1!

[@ed_halley]

If you're using traditional velcro, give some thought as to which side goes on what. I always use the "soft" loop side on objects that may get stuffed into a bag so it won't snag the bag or snag other objects in the bag. I always use the "crunchy" hard hook side on the furniture or walls or frame elements.

[@DAVE_TECH]

Definitely! I have had that happen many times.

The Velcro Industry: "What happened in April that caused such a spike in sales numbers?" Intern: "We got Undone"

[@geraldundone]

💯💜👍

[@OutstandnBrandon]

This is like the frickin All Star game! All my favorites in one video

[@TheEverydayDad]

Wow such awesomeness! And I stand by 30fps as the superior option 🤣

[@justinmayfield6579]

I laughed pretty hard at Gerald's lead-in for you. I was hoping I'd see a comment here from someone who knew the inside joke.

[@Hexspa]

24p is the future!

[@guyver1215]

Lol

[@jonhumphrey8783]

Totally was waiting for Camera Conspiracies to make an appearance... still an amazing video! Great work on this everyone!

[@rosiesamuel8562]

Thank you to all the creators and you on putting this video...

[@leestuart38]

That boom arm on a stand is genius! I'm setting this up immediately

[@TylerRostedt]

Holy crap! Josh explaining how practicals are actually supposed to work is blowing my mind! 🤯🤯🤯This is your best group collab video to date Gerald!

[@B-Moye]

Dude the sound blanket difference with Caleb was actually a REALLY nice plug for sound blankets. Sound difference with just an in-camera mic was amazing

[@Arquimedes_Aram]

Oh Gerald... I love how you managed to make it... to put all this wonderful youtubers to share their advice... this is AWESOME!!! Thank you soooooooo much! "Hi I'm Gerald Undone, and no one else travels over Storyblocks like me!"

[@HughJeffreys]

Exactly the video I was looking for. Always room to improve my KZbin studio! Thanks

[@TechMission]

Here is one all the way from Dubai: " I am Gerald Undone and I inspire by being normal". It is a compliment really, but could also double as an opener. Cheers Gerald.

[@BCPaulVideoProd]

Gerald undone has now officially collaborated with all my favorite KZbin channels. I must be the target audience.

[@jglaird]

This is the most practical production video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you to all of your collaborators. Great job, Gerald.

[@SidsDrakon]

This was great... Soo many creator that I follow makes me soo happy to see them together on collabs like this. And I don't know about you but as soon as I hear "give me about 15 min" I get all excited 😁😁😁 Love that work that you all do. Bright side of all this negative time is that so many creator are reaching out and working together making the community better and stronger. I am just happy I can see it happen.

[@danbbrawner]

Great lineup of guests. They are all my favorites. (And you, of course.)

[@HaraldDobmayer]

Please bring up more of these! Improving home studio videos are so helpful! Best regards from Germany! Stay healthy!

[@iPhonedo]

That look tho haha 12:29

[@twosheafilms]

iPhonedo glad he’s got you on the payroll.

[@KampRehberi]

Abi seni burda görünce nasıl sevindim anlatamam 💕

[@MelvinGarcia]

The white balance card stand-in is freaking genius. Will definitely steal that idea!

[@SipandFeast]

Hi Gerald. All these tips are amazing. I have so much to learn, but appreciate channels like yours that give away all the good info. Sound blankets are going to be the first thing I buy. In fact, I think my oldish camera is the last thing I need to upgrade.

[@joenicklo]

Absolutely love that you had a bunch of other youtubers on this one.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

GREAT TIPS! Best advice summed up: "It's a marathon, not a sprint." BTW...NOTHING beats Battlestar Galactica! 😎

[@darrinlalla9008]

Indeed... I think you were the only of my favorites who was missing from this!

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

Definitely Caleb is the best with light, his videos looks so smooth

[@LDEPOV]

Thanks, Gerald Undone! Great tips! I love the grey card ideas!

[@ColinKlupiec]

Your comments at the end are very insightful. Thank you.

[@thelighthouse7671]

Cable management is huge. Velcro for the win!

[@KAPPA-Studio]

such a great video ! so good to see the perspective of so many creators

[@plantbased2846]

I love the deep, resonant isolated quality of your sound. Great job!

[@geraldundone]

Thanks so much!

[@terryoneill2493]

Fascinating to hear the echo in the first 2 guest spaces! Great video.

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

i am trying so bad for 2 years now to setup a small home studio setup in my 1 room bedroom .. but struggling so bad to do it. This video is a masterlass in utself and give the most valuable tips in 1 video .. want more videos on home studio setup video like this 🧨🔥

[@twosheafilms]

I’ve been watching all these people for over a year now and for you to so cleverly tie them all into one video Gerald... 🤯🤯🤯

[@darlingtonjonesimagery9247]

Bro - the fact that you did this is perfect

[@yusufhousini]

Iphonedo's intro was just SOOO GOOD!! Love that guy!

[@GajanBalan]

Another great video! Thanks to all those involved!

[@AmritaBhortake]

So many amazing tips! These tips will help me make a quicker change than anything else to my studio: the one about the background (thanks Becki) and the sound blankets (my audio has so much echo right now 😬) and the one about practicals. I started doing that for my last video and it made such a huge difference!

[@brendanjenkins1622]

Thumbs up for Curtis Judd! You two are best on YT in terms of accuracy, reviews, testing and bad-ass-ness!

[@linnyunt]

What an epic collab with all my favourite filmmaking creators! Gonna check out the individual vids now. 🍿🍿🍿

[@TommyCallaway]

Thanks for having me along Gerald! Sorry for making you venture under the south pacific, I hope the sharks didn't bother you.

[@curtisjudd]

You play hard to get, Tommy. 😉

[@SunDevilThor]

Where did you get the wall mounts from for the lights?

[@twosheafilms]

You’re my hero Tommy and I’m allll over some Manfrotto QRPs! Got like 20 of them just like you.

[@goldfries]

I used the same lights and same area, just changed it around and it level up my production by miles.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I'm all about that sound blanket life. 🔊 Also, is that last shot SERIOUSLY ON STORYBLOCKS?! 😂😂

[@geraldundone]

Haha. It totally is. I found it while searching for the diving shots and new I had to include it. Too funny!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

@@geraldundone 😂😂😂😂

[@tombuck]

This is full of great info, well done! Really fun to see so many awesome channels sharing tips in one place 👍

[@JoserTheDirector]

yo, Gerald, you always kill it, but lately i been really diggin your vids, thank you for these, the colabs with other creators is just awesome

[@amberbutitta7261]

All the tips in this video are 110% spot-on. So good. (makes chef-kiss motion)

[@BrendanEvan]

I use those same manfrotto plates! And I’m a noob! Happy to stumble into something wise every once in a while!

[@oscar_rivas]

Great tips Gerald! Great job on bringing so many creators together to share their insights!

[@rommiemex9532]

What an all-star cameo extravaganza. Loved it

[@otakulensphotography]

Brother you never fail to impress. Every one of these creative geniuses make my day and you packed them into one video! I share your work with all my creatives and your ideas are on point! Thanks for giving me a break from my Covid 19 isolation 🤣

[@keithnisbet]

Wonderful collection of great tips and great talented people. Thanks very much. A fantastic collaboration.👍🤗

[@JarradShaw]

Jesus, this video and editing between everyone was so good! And great info!!! Thank you so much!

[@FlyingArtz.]

This may be the best video on studio spaces I'v seen period!!

[@remektekmedia6641]

Excellent collection of tips. Great to see all the top video guys on KZbin contributing here all in one place.

[@FilmEmpireTV]

Great topic in these times!

[@robchristeson]

Awesome job. I'm really glad you're still making content during this stuff. I had no idea that wasn't you in the water!

[@brucetambling7698]

Such high quality content. Always inspiring and much appreciated. Love how you don't feel obligated to mix a music bed under the entire duration of the show. GREAT job. Thanks!

[@chrisluckett1561]

Awesome! I love these “tip” videos, that you’ve been doing. And… it was a pleasant surprise to see, that you’re friends, with some of the other KZbinrs, that I watch. Too cool!

[@thesedrumbeats9039]

Biggest collab ever! This is the best!

[@alesko5]

OMG! Most organized space I've ever seen!! Thanks for all the great tips, Gerald. There is more value from your channel than any other I've visited. Thanks so much. :-)

[@johntisbury]

Sound blankets now on order, great tip!

[@ChiaTalks]

Love the collab from different creators.

[@YourStoryStudios]

Great tips and loved all the special guests!

[@coolgraycats]

Gerald, quirky works. Message delivered. Good job!

[@TylerKidd]

Great tips you guys! Love the Contrast Matte Paint, Sound Blankets, and motivated rim lights 🤘

[@TimelessFilmsMedia]

Love this video. Great tips and awesome that you included these other creators.

[@MegaMiniMedia]

I felt like you were talking directly to me in your closing statement. Great video, fantastic advice!

[@angelroundtrip]

This is one of the most useful videos that I've seen on KZbin. Too good.

[@danpm1990]

Glad to see Curtis on the video! Nice tips, keep them up!

[@MarlonKingShow]

Some very valid tips there. I'm currently working on the organisation one. Being at home a lot this is frustrating me more Haha. Cool collabs in there dude.

[@saulorobert]

Amazing video! Stunning studio sets from everyone!

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

All of my cameras are (or have been at some point) covered in velcro... so great for holding on cables, and temporary info plates, etc.

[@djcovid1971]

This video is amazing, thank you for creating this!!

[@dkeberhard]

At 22 seconds, I paused to compliment Gerald on having one of the shortest intro b-rolls I've seen. It works great. That is my first take away tip.

[@GrantStinnett]

“I’m a very emotional person. I like flowers, and poetry, and shit!” Best quote of the vid.

[@grooveecard]

LOVE this episode on so many levels. Nice work, brother!

[@samtang]

Yeah let's get Undone!!

[@SkateEverythingProject]

Killer video, loved the way you pre-introduced the collaborators

[@travelingtriathlete446]

This is the video I was looking for as I'm kicking myself in the butt to get back in to creating videos

[@blkmidia]

Best channels on YT!

[@theperfectloaf]

Fantastic video with actionable tips t/o. Much appreciated.

[@JonPaulKersey]

Thanks Gerald! This video rocked hard....

[@DAVE_TECH]

I use the wall tip, except I ceiling mount using a baby wall plate and good drywall screws. At one point I used a podium mic mount base with a mic stand boom arm to place my shotgun over my desk for the live stream studio. I use Velcro, but I also love the Nite Ize gear ties. I also built a crazy thing on wheels out of wood which I attach all kinds of useful stuff to. I'll probably feature it at some point in a video. I have painted the wall a complementary color to my skin before, but I just painted a wall for my new DT studio just a few days ago.

[@chriss.3335]

Great video. Thanks for that Gerald and your Crew :)

[@alex0589]

I'm glad the travel stock footage is still a thing but slightly disappointed you weren't all wet when it cut back to you. You're really breaking the immersion. Also: it's surprisingly comforting to see everyone's haircut become a distant memory, like a half forgotten dream.

[@thiendoan55]

Dude, this video is awesome! Great collaboration. I watch all these guys and it was awesome to see everyone in one place. We need more of these types of videos!!!

[@vertusmatjaz]

Great video. I'll watch a few more times and will make some notes. Thanks for sharing

[@auder34]

Such a great vid! Loved how you incorporated all my favs

[@JacksonParodi]

the avengers? more like A/Vengers hahahahahaha

[@ThriftyAV]

Great stuff that applies to ALL channels, budget to pro! I'll be getting more clips, velcro, and a grey card. I'll be looking into sound treatment as well. Clever way to segue into your Storyblocks sponsorship.

[@GigiPie]

All the best youtubers, great video.

[@MarioSargeant]

Boss video sir! Thank you so much for this. I am glad I became a fan.

[@jasonhayward]

This video was awesome, great tips, and great to see all the collaboration

[@JF..]

This is very useful Thanks for the upload Gerald 👍

[@AlexSzurkus]

Great video man! Keep up the hard work!
