[@tombuck]

Thanks for shedding some light on the updated setup. 👍

[@dunnadidit]

I see what you did there Tom!

[@PAINFULLYHONESTTECH]

He even puns in other people’s comment sections.

[@The_Rad_Dad_Chad]

I would love merch! I’m definitely a coffee mug guy, Becki and Chris sized coffee mug.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I need more coffee than that!

[@muralibalaraman]

I use wall hanging ball style mop holders and umbrella holders to keep my extra long stuff based off of inspiration from Becky and Chris. You may want to explore that

[@CodyandJillian]

This is bigger than the tiny house we live in lol! So sick to see a studio in a space like this! -Cody

[@dunnadidit]

Haha this is why tiny home living is not for me.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Hi there, but where's the pizza oven? The camera stuff is great but I'm really looking looking for some pizza tips. Thank you Dunna

[@dunnadidit]

Still waiting for that Breville partnership

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

@@dunnadidit I hope they reach out soon

[@dunnadidit]

🤞🏼

[@628creates]

That Husky table, I want/need that!

[@dunnadidit]

Pretty slick right!

[@ExploreTravelTV]

nice space, my studio and office is just in spare bedroom. I wish I had more room. Also wish I could just contact Aputure and say, hey, send me some lights! lol. Maybe someday.

[@RyanOsborneUK]

Hoping one day I can build a space like this for making content! Such a cool space dude. Massive well done. 👏

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much Ryan!

[@PAINFULLYHONESTTECH]

Man, before we moved late last year I was ready to build a shed for my studio. I feel like yoursis what I dreamed of when I built it in my mind. n our new house I have the whole basement, which is finiahed and more space than I ever could have afforded in a shed. And not I'm trying to get my wife to get me the Husky workbench/drawer thingy. Reallly nice tour. Thanks for sharing.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for watching dude! If you did end up with the husky workbench with the drawers and need to get it downstairs, just a heads up that it weighs like 450lbs lol

[@PAINFULLYHONESTTECH]

@@dunnadidit yeah, that’s why I’m thinking a smaller one. I do have one of the husky adjustable tables. Pretty great for the money.

[@MrJoshuaDColson]

Dunna is the sneaker junkie of the camera bag world 😂

[@optical_ideas]

Thanks, amazing space. I really like the idea with the amaran/loft/softbox above your main desk

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Wow. I love this. So many ideas!! Love the overhead diffused lighting everywhere

[@dunnadidit]

I’m realizing now that I basically made an overhead book light.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

@@dunnadidit it’s beautiful!

[@VicBarry]

Love it dude! As someone else who keeps cables in a few drawers in my studio, I'm continuously adding to it because I'll never know when I'll need 403 USB-C cables :P

[@dunnadidit]

Haha yeah dude, and yet somehow I still never have what I need!

[@otter-pro]

wow, this is one of the best shed studio I've seen on KZbin so far (and I've watched a lot). I really like the clean look. I appreciate the little things he shows us in detail, instead of just glossing over.

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I was able to help!

[@LTNYstudio]

Nice. Still watching but looks really good. 👍

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks dude!

[@jflo343]

Killer video again Dunna! I loved it!!!

[@kevincheung2066]

I love that Autonomous desk!! Wish I had one…. Oh wait… I do!! 🤣

[@dunnadidit]

Lol!

[@SpencerHogg]

Dude this place looks so rad !

[@SpencerHogg]

I'm an Alberta photographer too and do lots of my video / photo in my Garage, but man do I wish I had a cool workshop studio like this. So cool!!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks Spencer!!

[@OriginalNightStalker]

Gear envy...! But at least you use yours, and know how to use it all effectively, to produce excellent videos. That's much better than many people who just have GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) but who don't actually know how to use most of it effectively. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour - thanks :)

[@dunnadidit]

Haha there is definitely more than I need! It’s nice to have lots but it’s also just part of being a gear reviewer, if I had a sewing channel, I wouldn’t have nearly as much camera gear around haha.

[@BuildItMakeIt]

That place looks really sweet. I really like how you showed how to be organized and a little messy at the same time. :)

[@dunnadidit]

That’s the perfect way to describe my life haha. It’s organized messy

[@SFTourGuide]

I too built a shed in my large back yard. I absolutely love it. I also have a studio in my house so I do most of the computer work in there, and the photography and video in the laboratory. I don’t have near as much stuff as you, but I am able to fill every blank space. Thanks for sharing your space with us.

[@dunnadidit]

I've been thinking about that "split" kind of setup, even with the extra space I have in the shed, I still find myself lacking enough space to do what I want.

[@LukeAntunes]

Idk how I missed this vid! What a great setup you have 🤩🤩 Love the BTS/peek behind the curtain. Thanks for sharing!

[@markdjolly]

LOVED this studio tour. Super efficient and inspirational. Just get yourself a few more lights and you'll be in business. 😆

[@jan-hendrikswanepoel3744]

This is one of the coolest and most informative studio tours 😃

[@sebastianberes]

The best shed I've ever seen :)

[@dunnadidit]

Haha thank you!!

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Well done! I dig studio tours so much. Thank you for sharing.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for watching!

[@PolarProFilters]

Big fans of the Studio Shed!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks!!!

[@GlennUpgraded]

Nice, well-thought out studio! love it!

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you!

[@calincharles]

This is so nice! great design!

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@MrJoshuaDColson]

🙌🏼 The Is Amazing 🤯

[@shawnchenco]

DUNNA! A 200X on a SmallRig clamp?! BRAH! You are going to give me a heart attack. Don't get me wrong I have their clamps but tossing a 200X on one would give me serious heart palpitations :P SuperClamp that!

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I hear you, but funny enough, I originally had it on a superclamp and changed it because the superclamp was slipping and would have eventually fallen. Something about the shape of the beams I’m attaching to just works way better with the little clamps. Ever since I switched it’s super solid.

[@shawnchenco]

@@dunnadidit hmmm good to know. I assumed the super clamp would be stronger but I guess the shape - hold depends. Good to know, love the new space!

[@upbypnw]

That looks like a very efficient and somewhat economical, definitely creative studio with a very nice aesthetic. Thanks for share Dunna! Stoked to see the work you create there.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks a lot for watching!

[@DavinciHD_]

I’m just now realizing we have the same style logo reveal . Small world

[@dunnadidit]

Haha thank you motion array (I think that’s where I got it… it’s been a while)

[@DavinciHD_]

@@dunnadidit Either motion Array or Evnato Elements. Both are super clutch for creators . Their transition selection is pretty underrated. Dope titles as well .

[@AlienDrones]

Love it but, nicely done, sound and lighting is great!🤙

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much!

[@recklessthor4]

I would love your failed merch. I am a huge fan of the artistic process!

[@dunnadidit]

Good to know! I’ll keep that in mind when I decide what to do with it all.

[@timgodfrey_]

I have the same camping toilet in my studio. Well, it's not really a studio so much as it is just a corner in my apartment, and its not so much a camping toilet as it is a Home Depot bucket. Anyway...Loved the video.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha 😂

[@JHawk]

Dude this was so sick!

[@dunnadidit]

I'm glad you think so!

[@crosaradesign6842]

beautiful studio!

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you!!

[@iSpike]

Great Studio my friend 👍🏻

[@anuragdas7811]

Really lovely things..wise one day I could be a Creator like You...

[@dunnadidit]

You can do it!

[@selkirkrangesasquatch]

Great video and very cool to see your setup. I love chicken's, but can't imagine how many interruptions it causes you while trying to get clean audio.😂

[@YoloVib3s]

ZOMG I love this!!

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you!

[@Jawmsie]

Oh man, I LOVE my Kensington expert. Thing was absolutely life-changing. On a less silly note, I'm gonna have to build a new home studio in a few months and this video has given me a few ideas about what I might do differently in MKV. Cheers, dude!

[@dunnadidit]

It’s an old habit from the purely audio days but I love it!

[@PaulFeinberg]

Love seeing different studio spaces and how everyone uses stuff. I could live with the shed idea, if I could get decent A/C in one. I dig the one light brand setup. Just makes it nice for 1 app. Hoping to switch to that soon. Great video as always dude!

[@dunnadidit]

Haha no need for AC here, it’s actually been kind of chilly in the studio on the last couple of really hot days.

[@PaulFeinberg]

@@dunnadidit thats cool.....no pun intended. There is no way I could do that here in Florida. lol

[@dunnadidit]

Haha truth

[@RobertGossCreator]

Dunna you did it, LOL great studio man good job

[@dunnadidit]

Yes! Thank you!

[@AJCoReTV]

I love your studio tours! I’m planning on converting my home’s 2 car garage 20x18 (standard height) into a YT studio.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! That will be a great space!

[@AJCoReTV]

@@dunnadidit yes it will be a nice upgrade for me, only downside is 8ft ceilings instead of 10ft+.

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah I miss my high ceilings too. They were so good

[@PiotrFoxWysocki]

nice one!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks!

[@JesseSlykermanVideoProduction]

Awesome space you have Dunna. It's really cool to see how different creators have their space set up. In my opinion you'd be better off getting a nice mouse thats programmable, like the logitech mx master ro something, but I guess you've already tried that and prefer the rollerball. Overall really nice space Dunna :)

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah, I’ve been using the trackball since 2005… that’s habit isn’t going anywhere. Using a mouse now feels wrong. One thing I didn’t mention is how little desk space you need for a trackball since it doesn’t move at all… it’s really nice.

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Nice shed YT studio.

[@AaronandTaylor]

Hey Dunn!, Given your editing setup for color grading and the ease of access everyone has to stuff like that, why don't more content creators master content for KZbin in HDR?

[@dunnadidit]

That’s a great question. I think HDR is still a bit of a funny niche thing from a consumer standpoint, so it really hasn’t taken hold from a creator standpoint. It’s kind of like surround sound… it’s great if you have it, but not that many people actually use it (or in the case of hdr, know when they are actually viewing it) so then the methods and procedures haven’t been covered or worried about as much. This includes me too, I haven’t bothered to dive into a full understanding of HDR because I don’t really think or care about whether I’m watching something in HDR or not. Hopefully that made sense haha. Now my gears are turning to maybe look into it more!

[@AaronandTaylor]

@@dunnadidit Thanks for the answer! That makes a lot of sense! I feel like HDR is still in its infancy because people just understand it as 3 letter marketing term written on a box. I think in time though it might catch on. I've been tinkering with it for the past two weeks. It's hard to find workflows on using it however. The information is out there, just not compiled neatly in one place. Maybe in the future that's a gap creators like you can fill.

[@dunnadidit]

I love that mindset! I’ll definitely be thinking about it now!

[@MariuszGajdzik]

This looks awesome dude! Love the lights being all in one system, I actually want to do the same, but at the moment I only have the Amaran 60d with bunch of other lights from different brands haha :D

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah, I had a mix match before (and probably will again in the future) but it’s really nice for now to be all unified!

[@pj62775]

I’m a hat guy and was just curious about the hat you’re wearing in the video. Thanks.

[@dunnadidit]

Hey! Its the lopro hat from a Canadian company called AGheadwear! Great hats!

[@tylercornelison]

Super clean bro! But I didn’t see you address the break up of Sum 41. Maybe a dedicated video for it? 😂

[@dunnadidit]

Lol! That's a request a bit out of left field. I'm glad they did it the way that they did it. I thought that was very mature and nice of them to call it out in advance so people can react accordingly haha. I think that they've already released all the music that I would fall in love with so I'm not too broken up about it haha.

[@628creates]

Wait, what?!?! That's the first I am hearing about this...

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah they’re finishing their current tour, putting out a final album and then touring to promote the album, then they’re done

[@Cullyace18]

Super sweet setup, but man does that make me nervous seeing your laptop so close to the edge of your desk 😅

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I hear you, if it helps, it's in a super sturdy stand that weighs like 5 lbs so it's not going anywhere.

[@fboucheros]

Thank you for sharing, very inspiring. Quick question... How do you manage the heat? Do you have AC for the shed?

[@dunnadidit]

Well, I only moved in in October so I haven’t been through a summer yet… no AC but it doesn’t get TOOO hot here so hopefully the fact that it’s decently insulated and that I have my windows closed all the time will help.

[@sijilo]

😮

[@dunnadidit]

👍🏻

[@DeviceCuisine]

You are doing your own music for all your video?😮

[@dunnadidit]

NOOOOOO! Haha, once upon a time I wanted to do that until I found out how much work that was going to be alongside making videos to start with. I use a couple different music licensing platforms... all the music in this video were from TrackClub → trackclub.com/referral-landing?via=dunna-did-it (affiliate link, gets you 1 free month)
