Studio Makeover w/ONLY $300!

[@TannerTownsend]

I ❤️ Parker Walbeck.

[@Vela600]

We all do brother, we all do.

[@BedfordJoshua]

Your humor was much appreciated! Love it.

[@MrFunxy]

Most solid tricep grab haha

[@raccswag]

I found out we are 6th cousins

[@bloomingaccents]

Wow really?

[@cherish2u85]

I don't usually comment on these videos but how he broke it down step by step and how he just made it so simplified at the same time was absolutely amazing! The simplicity of what he did but it was just so effective she's definitely a photography genius! Absolutely love this video.

[@EvergreenFilmsAZ]

I appreciate how you don’t make your videos about having expensive gear. Great content and replicable for any budget.

[@krane15]

You need good gear, not expensive gear.

[@blakeok952]

@@krane15 in many cases,good can also be expensive, like well built laptops

[@krane15]

@@blakeok952 Think 3rd-party manufactures. In most cases they give you 8/10th the quality for half the price. Unless you're an extreme professional, most users won't even get anywhere near the limit to their equipment. For example, if I were going to film in Antarctica I'd choose all Canon gear. But for everything else, Sigma and other 3rd-party manufactures will be more than enough. That's my point.

[@kshilohk]

not my budget

[@johnnypepperonii]

They literally went from using an 8000$ camera to using a 600$ camera with 300$ gear. I don't know whats the point? He is just showing how you can archieve great result by investing into cheap (in this case it is cheap) lights to make your videos look better.

[@russelledgar9097]

The building inspector in me is happy that the piano was moved out of the space directly in front of the electrical panel. The unsung hero of this video.

[@JoshuaFluke1]

I live in Utah, and do KZbin full time. But man - I swear I just can't compete yet with the quality of KZbinrs here. Seriously though, just by watching your videos, before I film I'm always asking myself if my lighting is good, and is there enough depth, how could this be more cinematic and ambient. Hoping to get to your level someday! Thanks for all you do!

[@ClintPurser]

fancy seeing you again josh!

[@techworld3043]

Is did not expect to be here I am you subscriber learning programming.

[@MarkCuda]

Hey brother, just came here to say that you don't need to compare yourself to anyone! You do you. KZbin isn't a zero sum game! :) cheers and good luck!

[@FelixHdez]

I just sarted learning web dev, amazing channel, +1 sub

[@loserdubbed8036]

if you do it fulltime jc, how do you pay your other bills? rent, food, camera, computer, software, obviously you must have a house or 2 bedroom apt to have a studio. please im very curious

[@gabrielobrien21]

Quick note about studio foam: it only addresses high and high mid frequencies. It’ll reduce some echo, but low end frequencies need mass. Building bass traps from floor to ceiling with Rockwool and hanging an acoustic cloud from above will actually have a more positive effect. Also, down does break down over time and can grow mold if you’re shooting in a basement or high humidity (50% or above) space. Rockwool is all natural. There are loads of tutorials on building your own bass traps (which also absorb high frequencies) on KZbin.

[@NickWichman]

It's insane how the perceived production value changes with just a couple small tweaks. Even without the f/1.4 lens, it's like night and day. And... when you're actually delivering quality content, the environment has got to match it. dope upgrade. 🤙

[@saracamuso8725]

Thank you! I learned more from you in these 12 minutes than I did searching for an hour for videos similar to this! Cant wait to dive into more of your content!

[@skylar1242]

For 1 week I've been fiddling with lighting at my piano for a video; this was exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Amazing! This is such a thorough walk-through to get an awesome image! Thank you for sharing. Max respect for proving it's not all about what camera you're using!

“You don’t need money to make things look good, I got this for about $100” *temptation to close video intensifies*

[@jaded_00]

Jaisean 😂😂

[@KRGShowbiz]

How ?

[@rampagetv]

Hey man, just a note on the spray glue, you get best results by spraying both surfaces and letting it set for about a minute. It will become super duper sticky after that.

[@YannickReid]

Thanks for this Parker. What I really like about your videos is that you communicate very deliberately and clearly. A lot of tutorials here on KZbin, the hosts are trying to be fun, which I understand- totally. But sometimes the explanations can be lost in the focus to be fun and quirky. Your videos show that a tutorial doesn't have to be boring to be clear. I have more expensive gear than what's here but I don't feel like I've had someone explain these principles just so wholistically! Really feel confident after this video based on what you explained. You have a real talent, thanks!

[@zacclark9136]

The before shot was totally nailing that depressing-chain-music-store-piano-lesson-room aesthetic

[@juliusheigl1015]

Such an awesome makeover. So cool to see what this relatively small change in equipment/money can give you. Love this kind of content!

[@leobardobarron9937]

Great to see that you've worked with Bri Ray as well, I'm loving all your videos, thank you so much for all you share with us!

[@MrKokemachine]

You've got a real passion, Parker. It's really fun to watch you set it all up. It's inspiring.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Wow.... this is really amazing. The before and after are so different!

[@dainforsythe7129]

This - easily the most helpful studio make over vid, for me, so far. 'Working out of my 15'x 20' home office space. Cheers!

[@itsjbarling]

Great to see that it doesnt cost much to make big changes! Love it.

[@barneyelo-filmmakingtipstu1739]

Parker has tought me the importance of light! Since I've watched some of the light tutorials I've improved my filmmaking about 1000%...thanks Parker!

[@DiegoElMentor]

Thank you!! 💥💌💯 I saw this video 4 years a go and was so powerfull!! thank you for your quality and heart. Bless you to you and to your family.

[@mamasimmerplays4702]

This vid wasn't what I was looking for, but I'm here to the endscreen because it's actually very interesting and I love watching people do something well. Kudos!

[@LegmaLP]

My gosh how did i not see your channel till now. You and your videos are so good and helpful! Thanks!

[@David_Hammond]

This was genius! Great video, need more like this on KZbin !

[@RokKadoic]

Very good! Parker is a good guy, helping out your friend like that is awesome!

[@DGreen-On-Top]

Dude! Thx! You just saved me $1200, with using what I already have! WoW!

[@cameleonxxl8456]

WOW now this is just amazing! From beginner to pro with some tweaks. This video brings 100% value!!!

[@gesireci]

Parker Walbeck’s cheap: $100 My cheap: $10

[@brandielee7971]

For real lmao

[@Albanez39]

My cheap? $1

[@dvldgz6306]

you can make lights like that for about $40 and creativity

[@RedBlueTalk]

Home depot sells work lights under $10 including clamp. 5600k bulbs on Amazon $6. Supermarket parchment paper $3. Clothes pins $1. You will be amazed.

[@resofactor]

I picked up a $12 light from Wal-Mart the other day. lol

[@jnscollier]

Amazing. I spent so much time (like many many DAYS) trying to get lighting right in a small room in my home with a green-screen. Lighting is so hard. It can drive you mad! This end-result looks great.

[@LifeyApp]

great video, thanks for the tips!

[@montanarealestateexperts8573]

Parker you are truly a good friend to take this on to improve Tanner's channel. Also love the low key look of this lighting set up. You always bring the goods!

[@TannerTownsend]

Montana Real Estate Experts The 6 years I’ve known him, he’s always gone above and beyond helping me be the best I can be, and investing in me. Grateful to have a friend like him!

[@BrianKelseyYouTube]

Thanks Parker, a proper space to do your thang is ESSENTIAL. I’m building my channel based on so many of your videos..

[@coreyrobn]

GREAT video! Just goes to show that it’s the not the camera. It’s the lighting and creative vision. Awesome job man!

[@lyndonlabayan]

tbh Parker's "pfff" or "bfff" or the "bsschhh" punch sound effect is low key the star of his videos.

[@BryanChiMusic]

I'm not even a photographer or videographer but I just enjoy watching these video shooting tutorials haha

[@jv4nderh4m]

If this isn't a series it should be! What a great idea!

[@LaFetJae]

Great makeover !!! I am convinced.

[@tariqkhattak1205]

Loved what you did there. A suggestion as an engineer/interior designer, the acoustic tiles are pretty, a small dim light just to make them a little illuminated would have given more depth in the footage.

[@lucasthornton5231]

I love your common sense approach to this all. Thanks for being real.

[@Theportraitdude]

Dude this was fantastic! Thank you so much for this. I work with super dramatic flash lighting all the time, but ambient light trips me up. You explained it so freakin clearly and I see correlations between the two thanks to this video man. THANK YOU!

[@greenplay.studio]

You are genius Parker, having this outcome with that setup...

[@quickpickle]

mindblowing how a much cheaper cam gives a much better image with proper lighting than an expensive cam with bad lighting.

[@RGMGFitness]

Nicely done... I use the Canon Rebel SL2 for the majority of my videos. It's a great little camera that gets the job done and the colors look great. Thanks for sharing the makeover with us! Always like to see what others are doing.

[@MsTessG]

You have to be a little bit of a control freak to be a filmmaker... I love it! :) Great video.

[@jas_bataille]

"a little bit" Hang in there brotha, you wanna sit down for this before you walk into a fim set xD

[@ChrisParayno]

It's all the little things that will make good to epic

[@OpenUpnc]

The main difference is always lighting, it can change EVERYTHING!

[@tracybumpers7194]

Awesome..I love it..Just showed me how to work on my small space room..

[@rob_cancilla]

Parker - you should do more of these KZbin makeover studio videos. This was great.

[@charlessanson2835]

What i like about your channel. You don't try to be cute or funny. Just great info and advice. I really liked your Lg30 video vs a expensive "pro" camera. Just showed that it is the content and the person behind the equipment that makes great content.

[@LoserSkits]

My studio is exactly what I'm working on, so perfect timing! And thanks for repping for us Utah filmmakers!

[@ExploringEsperanto]

This is fantastic advice and I love how you keep it simple and show how affordable it can be.

[@tombuck]

You’d better raccoon eyes the importance of good light. Very cool budget makeover!

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

Parker, I really appreciate the info in this video (as a music studio owner) and the last video I watched on lighting... thanks! -Dean

[@robertanderson9179]

Really nice job. Such a big difference. Those cheap lights...I have all of them, lol. They really do work great and I would suggest anyone look into getting these as they are great starter lights. LOOKS GREAT!!!!!

[@thnqolo9667]

I really like this video. It is great and I was not sure that a small area can look great like this. Great job!

[@YousifPhotoshopTutorials]

You're so mush awesome Parker That was so much creative and easy to anyone to do thank you for teaching us all of this for free ♥♥

[@pavlob2]

I followed the guide, but I also replaced light bulbs with 90+ CRI 5000K by Cree from Home Depot. Getting much better lighting without any blue or green tint. Though it could be useful for someone who's thinking about going this budget route.

[@ivaniglesias2108]

Would you recommend instead of putting the softbox in front of the piano outing a ringlight, Cuz it is smaller and easier to manipulate , and for the background some strong led panels?

[@geekazoid]

I really appreciate how thrifty you were with this, and illustrated the fundamentals in the process.

[@sandybaso]

thank you for all you've done on your channel. i really learn from you a lot! thanks, mr. walbeck!

[@TEKDAD]

Watch every seconds. You teach something with gears that people learning can afford.

[@erwin3760]

It's much better but I would add a light towards the background. It's still quite dark and we can't differentiate that much the 2 tones in the acoustic panels. Very informative video. Thanks for keeping it beginner-friendly.

[@TAMALnTRIP]

Can you please tell me the focal length of the kit lens that had been used primarily? And the distance between him and the camera. I am trying hard to get the exact frame (without the background and 3 lighting, I have only one key light in a similar position) with my Canon M50, but didn't have luck yet. Oh, I am a pianist and singer songwriter too...😊 Please help

[@Ugrenkov]

Wow. It looks much better now. Worth it 👍

[@iamkubic]

An audio interface is kinda important, i would proudly show off my gear lol. It's not garbage

[@DevinVasquez]

Parker your a genius bro. I found you on my IG and said hey i want to do what hes doing. New subscriber, new fan!!

[@Palpatine4Senate]

I love how every single time he mentioned a price, it was WRONG.

[@EtherealAeonsActivation]

Wow, excellent video! This was the best and most realistic way of helping my podcast look more professional

[@JD7Videos]

Great tips, working on trying to update my background a bit for my videos, the main factor is the depth department, now I got some work to do!

[@rashedalpha]

Thanks man, I really love your videos and tutorials .. the quality .. the details in explanation.. loving all of it. Looking forward for your next one!

[@SteveCherches]

Greet stuff. Simple. Helpful. Accessible to everyone. Awesomeness.

[@GazingSkies]

So just wanted to say that if you can afford to have a pattern with your foam, go for it. Typically they are placed in specific sections of the room where the sound will bounce off first to help capture the reflections. Don't use it just for decoration, make sure you put it in the right places lmao

[@AydaWalsh]

What a great video on strategy, aesthetics and overall cinematic look that enhances the subject and adds more depth and "feel" to the videos! LOVE IT! Thank you so much for a great video!!

[@rivius5491]

Awesome makeover, Parker! Great job!

[@turkmusik]

This is just great. Superb pacing, relevant content, all done very clearly and efficiently on a low budget with demonstrably great results.

[@WillStinton]

Tanner Townsend, the man who introduced Parker to the glidecam! I love it 😂

[@MaikKleinert]

Awesome change, Light is everything!! What a nice change

[@drmivysingh]

Excellent video...really like the way you explain everything clearly 🙏🏽

[@rajiumusa5813]

Best video after days of research on what yo do with my small Office studio

[@kurokid2441]

Great! This is what I've been looking for. And I'm thinking about join the study plan and follow such an amzing mentor.

[@dankwilde]

Parker is getting funnier

[@spiritwaveluna461]

this is amazing♥ awesome work! both of you!♥

[@Raubustamante]

Eres un maestro con las luces, excelente.

[@thekylemarshall_]

What a difference! Loved seeing the process of this.

[@CrackaLackTV]

Awesome video. I dig the after look. Depth and lighting is key

[@KeithBurtis]

Brilliant Parker! Good stuff Tanner.

[@urielpeugnet]

A splendid work with few tools Congratulations!

[@BMgreekyoutuber]

That's my favorite whiteboard... Well :D

[@321southtube]

Very cool. Great, easy, and inexpensive ideas! Thanks

[@jennyluvsfood]

luv the makeover ...i can learn from this for my youtube cooking channel ...thanks!

[@mitchmedmedia5386]

Wow, what a massive difference. It looks great! When you swapped out lenses, how did you adjust to keep the exposure? ND filter? Adjust each light?

[@i.q.sandrozuniga3593]

Great video!! I already suscribed, you're a very talented guy, thanks for sharing your gift with us humble apprentices.

[@Ben-fq1lj]

Parker can you please add a workout program/training video on how you get such big arms? I find the oversaturated market of workout youtubers to be intimidating/overwhelming. Would love to see how you get you arms to be so big.

[@PedroMoreira2001]

Just move your glidecam around everyday for one hour

[@GhostSamaritan]

Watch AthleanX and VitruvianPhysique!

[@TheFaizParadise]

AFFE NOWU my 2 favorite fitness you tubers that are not only very educational and helpful, but entertaining as well. Check out Scott Herman’s channel too

[@ShinyArjunSingh]

wow man...made my life.. Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

This is fkn incredible! So great bro

[@Winch_Offroad]

Wow, great advice and video, I saved it and will need to reference it for the lighting.

[@rainbowrockstar]

Wirklich sehr sehr schön, in so einen kleinen Raum ein so wundervolles professionelles Video machen zu können :) Nice.

[@bkpaf21]

Such an incredible video full of practical gems!

[@Intotheams]

I love how he said lets use some cheap gear and pulls out a 100 dollar light, my broke ass was like, * fuck it, lets shoot only in the day time. NATURAL LIGHT!!!*

[@Ethnikmanofficial]

i would add a polarized filter to the ART lens to minimize the light reflections on the glasses.
