How I Film EPIC Studio Tours (Studios Undone Q&A)

[@cameraconspiracies]

It's the greatest series of our time.

[@GOTIVITY]

I definitely would like to see your Undone studio, Casey, because your "studio" is not yet done;-) Dare I dream...oh my God right now, oh my God!

[@mribi]

Fuck Yes!

[@TheStewarts]

Camera Conspiracies facts lol

[@CliffLoehr]

Yes!

[@AndrewMasters]

How was this not in my algorithm until this week... Gerald this is so cool. I've been doing the music studio equivalent for the last year or so. Really cool to see these with youtube studios.

[@photojoseph]

Woohoo, I made the cut! Now to just get you down here to tour my studio 😁

[@shadowshapers]

So so SO stoked to hear that you plan to keep doing these tours as soon as it's safe to travel again. I really loved discovering the first tours that you did and am really looking forward to seeing you do more of them in the future. Thanks again for showing us so much about the nuts and bolts of the process. You're awesome.

[@Jamesmatthews]

If Gerald Undone is Crazy. Then he must be going Bat Shit Crazy during quarantine

[@realthoprivate]

This is excellent! You make youtube videos about what equipment to use when for making youtube videos - and now a youtube video about which gear to use when making youtube videos about how other people make their youtube videos! Doesn't get much more meta. Love it!

[@kennyobrien]

Your KZbin creators studio tours is my favorite series out of all the YT videographers. They are so well done that I often rewatch them just for the fun of it.

[@ashwinim9655]

The humour is so subtle in your videos - but so on point - love it 👌🏾

[@AlliandWill]

Hi I'm Gerald Undone and my sweet purple star stickers are more valuable to me than any gear I own.

[@jaydivina533]

The Studios Undone is a great series. Kudos on the ones done so far. I hope you are planning on revisits to them akin to What's in my camera bag annuals. Take care and be safe Gerald. Thanks for the vid.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Great stuff. Love the studio tours. Kudos...that’s a lot of frickin work! 👍👍👍

[@OfficialGamesky]

I love the series and I am a huge fan of all the creators you've interviewed. Most importantly you can tell your having fun while doing these

[@CommonSenseCriticism]

Your channel deserves so many more subs. Some of the best gear content on KZbin. I love your stuff with camera conspiracies. His channel is also great.

[@joshuaaruiz]

I love the way you use the story blocks footage! And man this is a great video! So much value

[@nussberger]

Thank you for making our stay at home more bearable. Keep up the superb work.

[@darrinlalla9008]

Nerdy, concise and so much fun. Brilliant video. Stay safe.

[@geraldundone]

Thanks so much! You too!

[@JonnyPlaysLive]

The sponsorship integration bits in these vids are genuinely brilliant

[@lifemade2249]

man i really love this series I'm definitely late but went back and watched them all

[@CosmosSafari]

I cannot wait until you get the chance to go out and do more of these. I am trying to update my own KZbin studio and it's awesome to see what others have in their spaces. Thanks for putting the time into making these. I hope some day my studio will get a purple star.

[@leelove452]

Great series and very unique. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@LunaScopeJustin]

Love this series!!! Most of these studios have evolved over time to be optimally functional for each creator

[@gregelgie]

These are great. I hope you can continue them soon. Stay healthy, Gerald, Tyler, and other fans.

[@NickGranville]

Great to see how you do this. Thanks man

[@RallenMan]

Man, you are so good at doing these vids.

[@ourbellalife]

Awesome video as always Gerald! Always cool to see what others do in their studio.

[@AndyLSB]

Finally a Gerald video ! i was starting to panic ! hope you're safe and love your videos, they really inspire me to always do better.

[@geraldundone]

That's great to hear! Thanks so much. 🤓🙏💜

[@DiversReady]

Epicness. Absolute epicness.

[@TheFriendlyReviewer]

Looking forward to the next round and awesome job with the sponsor integration

[@HeyKaytube]

Great video again Gerald! Thank you so much.

[@camdenmounts1473]

that was the best accidental sponsor spot I've ever seen

[@MarkMcLT]

The very last quip was worth watching the whole video for. :) I promise I thumbed-up!

[@Dk20Silver]

sweet i saw this before seeing or knowing about the studio tours so now i have a whole new series to watch :D thanks man i was running out of rick and morty episodes xD

[@PaulFeinberg]

Dude great video as always! Thanks for answering my question and nice job with pronouncing my name! Baller! Very cool to hear about these behind the scenes stuff.

[@PeterBaerveldt]

Thank you for the great video again! Your style is really inspiring for starting KZbinrs (like me).

[@JibaroTech]

I really love the series Gerald, is the most geek moments in this quarentine that I enjoy, also after watching iPhonedo videos I have the same feeling.

[@MikeMena]

Holy crap! I think I’m the only person to have their INTRO LINE picked TWICE?!?! 😎😎 what can I say, I know how to pick some epic intro lines... 👍🏽

[@jdlmediaco3541]

Love this series

[@arranpbrown]

Very interesting video! Love seeing the gear you use. Also love this series!! Cheers, Gerald. 🙌

[@Boneteacher]

I thoroughly enjoy your art and craft!

[@DokoGaTV]

Long time listener, first-time commenter, fantastic ep!

[@NicaHarlistamotovlogs]

Looking forward for more stories.👍

[@imnaugle]

So great Gerald - be safe out there....in there...

[@mkelly01]

I found out about your channel on a @BeckiandChris video. Really glad I came over and checked it out. I'm really liking your content.

[@cvalencia31]

That was an awesome cameo by Lonnie Kauk one of the best climbers ever climbing Southwest Arete in Bishop California. 5:06

[@MrCameraJunkie]

KZbin needs to implement a Double thumbs up button for your Vids. Because I find them Useful and Entertaining. 🤓👍

[@kenbest7660]

Awesome! I was completely undone by what you have done. Stay safe.

[@louisvanzyl]

Great series. Can't wait to see more tours. Maybe see if they would let you on to a movie set next? Then you can give Christopher Nolan tips on purple in his movies.

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Thank you Gerald. Edutainment at its best. This answered so many of my questions, including whether the series will continue. How about visiting my favorites such as Caleb Pike, PhotoJoseph, & Peter McK?

[@MichaelWarthStudios]

💜 loved this one, there were a few surprises in there.

[@mkdn]

The 5 people who disliked don’t have access to hot air balloons and submarines.

[@theFATEfactory]

You sir... are thee GREATEST 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Alright.... I’m done ✅

[@-Dragonfyr-]

Great, informative video. Fantastic to see you blending/connecting with the audience. Curious, what experience / education / background do you have? Does it help with your channel/content?

[@Techspin]

11:55 Most old monitors WILL NOT WORK for filming applications, as they are expecting 1080p/720p at 60hz, and lots of new cameras do either 1080p30/4Kp30 or 1080p24/4Kp24. only 2 monitors out of 12 here in studio work, to give you an idea. Higher end monitors, usually ones for gaming or with Freesync or G-Sync -MAY- have this capability, always test first. I recommend a TV instead, as they will generally output almost any framerate your camera throws at them. Currently we use a 28" Asus 28" 4K VP28UQG which works well, but probably will upgrade soon to a Samsung 4K 43" incher for client view. Loved the video, awesome channel, keep up the amazing work. Subbed!

[@_gregvalencia]

Potato Jet should takeover and tour your studio next. I know you have a studio tour on your channel but it would be cool to see him do that with you. I enjoyed that episode a lot

[@brianpark2564]

this is great, man in the mirror reference as well. how about making one on creating a studio and what you'd recommend with different budgets in mind? :D

[@SilverLarry]

I'd just like to pass this along to you regarding getting natural sounding audio that's representative of the space you're shooting in. Although you probably already know this trick. What I've done since the 80s is to use lavs AND a shotgun and then mix the two in post. Depending upon the space, you'll mix in more or less of the shotgun.

[@wespellerin9421]

Great series!

[@andreasbuder4417]

What‘s HAAAPPENING everybody! You almost did it like back then, yaaaay! Good‘ol memories :-)

[@inworcester]

Great video. Thanks Gerald!

[@MelvinGarcia]

I stole the monitor idea as well. That's so simple, yet genius. 😂

[@AmritaBhortake]

I love this series and loved watching the making of it. Thanks for the awesome tip on creating a phone ringtone! 🙌🏼I have a question: could you also add the link to the Thinktank backpack that Julie uses? I always struggle to find a good gear backpack for travel.

[@geraldundone]

Thanks, Amrita! And yes, absolutely. I've updated the list. And here's the link for your convenience: geni.us/ff8J1

[@AmritaBhortake]

@@geraldundone Thanks, Gerald! Will check it out

[@Submarin7]

The best intro ever

[@michaelpoczynek]

All very cool. Thanks.

[@zacgrimaldo]

Such a great series Gerald! People love to see their fav YT celebs together! What box do you have on your rim light? I need something good, but smaller than the Litedome II!

[@geraldundone]

Thanks a lot! And that's the Light Dome Mini II.

[@zacgrimaldo]

Gerald Undone Thanks GU! Ordering one right now! Stay safe!

Great series, could you tell us please which picture profile you use in both cameras?

[@darrenchristieoz]

Nice one. Do you describe your current lighting setup anywhere? It looks great. Are you also adding a vignette in post?

[@MrMxTech]

Id love to have you over here in México some day Gerald ;)

[@liualisa5618]

Interesting and very useful!

[@DanRaines]

That was fun. Looking forward to the next set of studio tours. I do have a question. You are using the Zoom F6. What would you recommend as a pre-amp for someone that does not have any XLR microphones, but would still like some of the features that a pre-gives them?

[@YourStoryStudios]

We're using a dynamic mic as well for our KZbin videos which is working well!

[@AM2PMReviews]

So SLog2 looks good on a A6400? I thought the 8 bit would look bad so I shoot HLG but now I want to try slog on my A6400

[@JoshFromPerth]

Very, very well done spot haha. In an ocean of average quality content with superfluous padding, your stuff is gold. Sell me something. haha

[@JF..]

This channel is 🔥

[@MichaelCaptures]

I notice you finally took the barcode sticker off the clipboard good job. I love your videos dude.

[@ChristopherMultop]

Hey Gerald, new fan but am loving the content. Question, you mention your Sony wireless headphones. Are you able to monitor wireless to the Sony A73? If so how does that work? Delay? Thanks in advance.

[@joshmchin]

amazing! Keep it up

[@nickl224]

I was wondering why you don't use lav mics, thanks for explaining that. However, I personally still find this heavily reverbed sound to be kinda distracting sometimes; also, the fact that the quality of the sound keeps jumping between interview shots and tour shots doesn't help. So perhaps you could try using both lavs and the on-cam shotgun mic, and then switching to shotgun track on post specifically when you're going to talk about sound treatment? That would give us the idea of how the studio sounds and would keep the voices pretty even across all other parts of the video. Other than that, studios undone is a great series, loving it! Thanks for your work :)

[@PostColorGear]

What do you suggest for extension cables for the mics? I am using ones I have had for years, and am a bit tired of them, and want longer ones.

[@geraldundone]

I'm just using 12-footers from StarTech. (Good brand) The issue is if you go much longer than that you can start to get interference issues and then you're better off with XLR.

[@PostColorGear]

@@geraldundone Makes sense. Thanks for sharing that info!

[@JaySellers]

I have a 42" Vizio on a stand for monitoring. Don't want to live without it now.

[@Swinkymusic]

For all the effort you put into making the song sound like it's coming from a phone, why do you leave it stereo? Wouldn't it be a mono sound if it's coming from a cell phone?

[@2010SLP]

When did you switch from shooting most of your video on the GH5 to shooting mostly on Sony cameras? And when did you decide to go with S-LOG2 over the CINE2 and HLG3 profiles you recommended last year?

[@BrianSellers]

Really cool to see how much quality you can produce while traveling with so little. Just think how much BETTER it could be if you took a 40" monitor with you everywhere... 🤔👍

[@saikatchattopadhyay8263]

Hi I am Gerald Undone and I eat Batteries at Breakfast, Lenses at Lunch and Dioptres at Dinner!

[@SonnyJacobLee]

GREAT GREAT SERIES

[@shagral_]

PM studio tour would be gold! Ofc, when this whole thing blows over, sigh...

[@TheKangFilms]

Hey Gerald, awesome series you've built here. Question for you: When doing these kind of collaborations with other creators, do you compensate them for their time or are they all just willing to be part of the series? Are there business sides of things with the creators in this series?

[@geraldundone]

In my experience, KZbin is generally a really collaborative, helpful environment. Most creators I know are happy just to do a "you be in my video, I'l be in yours" kinda thing. I do take them out for lunch/dinner though. 😃

[@GOTIVITY]

Expecting to see Casey's camera conspiracies Undone studio tour, as soon as this corona shit is over!

[@s-t-u-n5488]

Gerald have you thought about doing like a Zoom stream type thingy, haha. Where you are watching /commenting and split-screen with the tour person, doing well, a Tour. Like they are explaining to you("the Dr." see a previous comment diff. vid) Then you 2 do a split-screen streaming interview part and finishing with your solo, well with the clipboard naturally, haha. just a thought, could be an ongoing series, where you end up talking to smaller Yt'ers or anyone looking for advice/consult(cha-ching) Trying to give back a little value from the large amount you give all of us!!! BRavo!

[@burkfivesix]

Linus tech tips studio tour please. They have so much gear/space to explore

[@Terrigan_Reina]

second that

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Hi Gerald, is the much sound lag on the Sony headphones?

[@geraldundone]

When monitoring, I use them with the cable attached, so no. I've never tried them wirelessly other than for entertainment.

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

@@geraldundone Thanks I just wandered as I have never found any that work OK without a delay.

[@slackstation]

The sponsor spot was well done here. I don't know why but, I didn't see the gag coming and laughed as the person was clipping the carabiner on. Also, missed opportunity to do an interview with the people at Storyblocks.

[@DominusFeles]

So was this kind of the studios undone studio undone?

[@dougzauha]

Gerald, what software are you using to edit these vids and what is the average time it takes you to edit to published state for posting? Knowing that it takes you about five hours to record the content...how long to edit for a total amount of production time? Thank you for doing what you do. They are great, informative, and a much needed boost of humor.

[@geraldundone]

It takes me about two solid days of editing. There was one video I had to get done quickly, and that one I edited on the laptop in about 9 hours, but I prefer to comeback to it the next day and finish up to get fresh eyes on it. This series has been edited entirely in DaVinci Resolve.

[@DANandSALLY]

Well done thank you!

[@60p]

Great Video Gerald. This is chirag from India.

[@FamilyofTech]

Why the Sigma 24-70 and not the Tamron 28-75mm for tight shots? Any particular reason?

[@gregelgie]

I’m Gerald Undone and I single-handedly made clicky pens sexy again.

[@usernamehandle]

Amazing video, Gerald BUT: how the hell do you fit your gimbal in your bag? lol I'm frankly terrified of dropping money on a camera bag just because I'm afraid my Weebil S will have difficulty fitting with a 15" laptop, all my chargers, etc. etc. (Not because of the money: I just hate waiting for shipping and return shipping if things don't work out). I'm new to having all of this expensive equipment and right now, my #1 worry is choosing a bag that's 1. not secure enough 2. not spacious enough 3. too heavy 4. won't let me carry all my other daily things. I noticed you don't have a laptop in your gear spread there.... how?! I am terrified to leave this thing at home incase I need to make a quick edit or get a file to a client.

[@dccoletrain]

I only subscribed because of the theme song.... amazing

[@RogerAVHansen]

Love your videos 👌🏻 Are you a Mac or windows user?
