Nick Nimmin where can I buy those wall piece of thing? 😅 great video as always. Thank you.

[@SeanSolo8]

The man, the legend.

[@NinaRossBusiness]

Seriously, this video was meant for me! My video background is a blank canvas. My goal was to get the channel up and going while making improvements and learning along the way. I told my husband that "Nick said" I need to make a KZbin backdrop. Since I upload weekly (on average) it will be a few videos before I have a backdrop. I'M ON IT NICK! Thank you for posting this video.

[@NickNimmin]

Awesome to hear Nina 👊

[@legacyuniverse0732]

What are these panels called?

[@Tuforeal]

@@legacyuniverse0732 acoustic panels / acoustic foaming

[@LetsBuildThatApp]

Cool idea. I think 3 hanging shelves with some plants and edison bulbs would do well on that wall too. I would go crazy putting all of those pads on.

[@NickNimmin]

100% let your creativity flow!

[@melamusicworld]

Not going to lie, the first time I watched this video I got so overwhelmed by the amount of things it’d require to have this set up, and I gave up on having my own channel. My lack of money discouraged me to even begin! Well, I ran into this video again and I decided I would watch it again but consciously actually really paying attention at what he’s saying. I now believe it won’t be as hard as a I initially thought. Sure, it’ll require saving up and buying the equipment, lights etc but I no longer see it as an impossible task! Thank you for this really high quality and free content🙌🏻

[@NickNimmin]

👊🤓

[@BRUTHAWAR]

The background not only looks great but probably helps with room reflection to diffuse the reverb & make audio more clear.

[@NickNimmin]

For sure!

[@AutisMinasClearingClutter]

I'm not even sure anymore where I've left replies as I keep rewatching these videos. You gave me so much inspiration to try out some budget solutions first and then see where it goes. I keep thanking you, but you know, thanks so much🙃

[@yeshmar1My2CentsWithFarahAdil]

Perfect timing. I was flipping through ideas on decorating a wall behind me. 😎

[@BrandonMulrenin]

I have the exact same camera and lights you have, can’t seem to get the crispy look. What’s camera settings to you shoot in? Exposure, iso, etc?

[@NickNimmin]

I'm using the Sony A6500. For the crispy look, I don’t let my iso go over 800. Preferably 6. Shutter speed is 50. It’s set to 24fps and I use pp2 picture profile. But, the magic of the footage happens in the edit. The footage gets sharpened and color graded using magic bullet looks. I also use a sigma 16mm 1.4 lens which is known for being crispy.

[@ianofAustin]

DUDE!!! I'm actually actively building a studio literally based on this video! I mean, because of this video. Thanks for all your knowledge man, I'll get there!!

Hi Nick I was going through your description box looking for a link to purchase lights. I couldn't help but notice the line * If you enjoyed this video help others enjoy it by adding captions in your native language. May I ask if you actually get people to do that? How often, does it ever cost you or is that just something they would bc they enjoy your content, and what benefit have you gained from just posting that one line??? I'm very interested VERY! I hope you can cure my curiosity. Thanks as always enjoy your channel. I don't comment a lot but I do get a lot of amazing value from your videos. I've always thought you created a unique interesting background. I'm glad you shared this set up video.
