Tutorial: How to build your own Photo Video Studio on a budget

[@Rascoh]

As a designer, photographer, and future architect - this is why I went with Syrp for My motion control needs. Precision is necessary for both, Timelapse photography and architectural design. This is totally evident here. I’m such a huge fan of this brand, and happy to be the owner of Syrp’s latest Genie II Linear and Genie Mini II. Thank you for inspiring me to push my creative boundaries in BOTH, photography and architectural design. Can’t wait to keep up with everything you all are creating - products and content!

[@SyrpLab]

Hi Jon, So good to hear your feedback and thanks for supporting us!

[@ATreeForFive]

Props to this dude for his craftmanship and patience

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks Ajoep!

[@CinematographyDatabase]

Very cool. I’d like to build a studio like this when the world returns to life.

[@SyrpLab]

Yes! We cant wait to see how it turns out

„How to build your own Photo Video Studio on a large budget in a big space if you are a carpenter.“ I need to know how to do this in my kitchen for 25$.

[@NatashaEstrada]

@@jensschmidt You just need to substitute the wood with cardboard and cardboard derivatives.

[@azharudeen06]

I own such a studio in my city and I'm very proud about it.

[@Treshotme]

Great video. I am building my cyc wall straight from your plans. How tall is your wall? I’m thinking about making mines 16’ tall.

[@juliangoulding]

More of these please! super inspirational for my own space.

[@leestuart38]

So pumped that this popped into my feed while I’m building a whole new shop. Looks like it’s about to get a cyc

[@SyrpLab]

Let us know how it goes Lee!

[@dancoffeyuk]

Lovely work guys and good idea to sack off the skate boarding, much better with the extra space!

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

I’m looking at building a couple of these. 3 wall each. One white and one green. This video is amazing and just what I needed. I clearly have my work cut out. I feel like you guys did half the work for me. Great video

[@SyrpLab]

Cheers Chris! Hope it goes well!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks for this video i was planning to build a studio but not getting ideas this helps me alot.

[@filibertkraxner305]

What a brilliant video! As I'm turning my garage into a studio, I downloaded the plans you provided. Will definitely give it a go. Thanks a lot from the other side of the globe!

[@SyrpLab]

You're welcome! Let us know how it goes!

Thank you guys for sharing. And educating. And for passing it along. Wish you all the best.

[@mjeffharrison]

What a great project. Thanks, guys!

[@jackpowellphotography]

I really enjoyed watching this! amazing video, hopefully I will have my own studio some day.

[@ichevtchenko]

Holy crap!! My jaw dropped when I saw Bunnings, I thought, 'hmm, must be in OZ... nek minit.. Auckland!! Good to see local videos!

[@SyrpLab]

Always! Bunnings is the GOAT

[@EasyButtonFTW]

This is really cool guys. Thanks for making content like this. High quality, entertaining, and very useful. Definitely referencing this guide in the near future (fingers crossed).

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks Tyler!

[@LONEWOLFFILMS]

You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with me and the guide. I appreciate you guys and Godspeed on your journey!

Freakin incredible, awesome studio! Thank you for sharing your process and the hard work that went into bringing it to life. This was very inspiring.

[@PJ-ls9on]

I'm really liking the 3d animation !!! Top notch production

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@SyrpLab]

@Mr snimarr Hey Mr Snimarr - we use Blender for our previs and animations

[@gpraneeth3140]

Thanks for your tutorial.

[@morten.rustad]

Turned out really good! Getting the curves right seems like a lot of work. Did you do anything for sound quality, or is this only for product shots?

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Morten! Since building the studio, we've done a sound treatment by making some large acoustic panels that remove almost any echo - we may have to do a video on this too!

[@250GTOAJ]

Very nice cyc wall.

[@iko7885]

awesome studio!!

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks iko!

[@TheRealJPAdventures]

Very cool!! Excellent.

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks John!

[@truenorth2615]

Where did you get the plans for your cyclorama. How did you determine the size and measurements for the curved edges ? Looks great

[@TamirYankevich]

Fascinating! I don’t know when I’ll be building a cyc but I’ll surely download the guide just in case 😂

[@guidetheride2103]

Hats off, I know first hand the amount work that goes into this kind of thing so well done and good luck with the studio guys. We built something similar a long time back for a studio and used fibreglass over a exercise ball for the connecting bottom corner, worked a treat with a bit of car body filler and a orbital sander. Used the same radius for the cove. 👍👌👏

[@maginashun]

So awesome! Always inspirational to see builds like this because I've wanted one ever since we got serious about photography. Definitely going in the next house 👊 Too bad about sacrificing the skateboarding aspect of it. Even though I didn't stick with it long enough as a kid to be good at it, I would definitely try again if/when we have a cyc 🤙

[@LukaTWP]

Impressive, thank you very much for sharing ! And good luck with your new enterprise.

[@muyiwaosifuye]

Well done. Tough job.

[@NOYBNOYB]

I watch this everytime I need motivation. Such a great studio-building video!

[@tayloraette]

Okay

[@yanniksturm447]

Awesome project guys!

[@Luca_Prinz]

Wow watched the video till the end thinking you guys have like 500k subscribes but then I was surprised to see you only have 37k! Definitely deserve more tho, so I subscribed! Keep up the great Content! 👍🏼

[@tailleurdimages5174]

Nice job ! Dreamy studio

[@rosemaryfengchannel]

Amazing wow I want to one in future😆🤪😎🤩🤓

[@mikespencer7865]

Really want this kind of setup.

[@noratheunipony9106]

Wow this is iconic 🙌 fair play I expect a catio next please Matt 😉

[@johnnybermudez]

dope AF. Thanks for sharing the plans Gents!

[@SyrpLab]

Any time! Looking forward to seeing your studio!

[@UndefinedBailiwick]

You'd have to have a huge house or an office space like them to make this. Other option: Get a 3-wall muslin track system.

[@AMiAmirul]

Very good

[@foulchild____]

AMAZING. Going to use this next month for our studio. Thank you! 🖤

[@SyrpLab]

Great! Of course, be sure to do your own measurements and treat the plans as a guide :) every studio space is unique

[@DaveysRoom]

Great work guys.

very cool! saw a jib attachment for the tripod at one point what was that???

[@nathandecourcelle3742]

What wonderful work ! Would it be possible to purchase your plan?

[@romankapraplus]

This is amazing man!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Great project. A little more ambitious that I'm looking for but I enjoyed the build. (:

[@MidlifeCredo]

With regard to maintenance, do you find you have to repaint the floor every time it’s used?

[@szubal]

So beautiful!

[@memphismadetez]

I need to build a portable set flat like this for my extra bedroom I’m using cork board tho or whatever weighs less lol

[@LJOS21]

Super great guys! Cheers from Venezuela 🤓👍🏻

[@WebJuice_28]

Love a Bunnings run. Can I ask what did you use to create your animation?

[@SyrpLab]

heyo! All the 3D animations were done in Blender

[@JoshuaAMG]

Well done boys

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks Joshua!

[@thejentlemen]

How incredible!!

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks Jman!

[@AtomicPixel]

Mannn soooo cool. I love your filming style, gents! Something to aspire to. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@povitree]

I love this , thanks for sharing.

[@daviddoherty9410]

Thanks guys, class stuff. Is it difficult to keep the painted floor clean during model shoots and, if so, how do you clean it after? I shoot on paper or sometimes Perspex, both of which get dirty easily. I’m hoping this approach is easier to keep clean?

[@SyrpLab]

Sorry we didn't get back to you David! We usually do a repaint before big shoots as unfortunately the surface always gets a bit scuffed up and dirty - this is pretty common for commercial studios.

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Woah what a project, good job guys, tricky one to pull off👍

[@SyrpLab]

Thanks so much Scott! That's high praise coming from you

[@mdc_grapher]

Good work men!

[@-blackwindsgeography8133]

Nice work! What is the design software you use?

[@SyrpLab]

Hey! We designed the studio parts using Solidworks & did the previsualizations in Blender

[@charleslong3290]

Beautifully done!

[@joostwierenga]

Gonna try this! Just wondering if you found all the wood to be quite echo-y, and if you've found a solution?

[@SyrpLab]

Yes - the shape and hard surfaces definitely caused some initial issues but we've done a sound treatment by making some large acoustic panels from sound insulation. When placed correctly, these remove almost all echo

[@SyrpLab]

The echo is a huge problem with cycs! We ended up making ten 1.2 x 2.4m acoustic absorbers which removed the echo completely. You can see some attached to the roof at 6:12.

[@joostwierenga]

@@SyrpLab great! thanks for the feedback

[@jmtenny]

based on the current price of lumber this would now easily cost $10,000.... but killer studio!

[@SyrpLab]

Unfortunately you're right... with COVID, lumber prices have definitely gone up since we made this! But check out the plans in the description - we also made a version that sits up directly to existing drywall walls saving a bunch of lumber cost :)

[@carlosherrera5624]

That’s awesome!

[@adebagbooluwafemiolalekan6970]

Whao, l love this. I'm always moved with creative mind like you. I'm also good in creative work, but lack of tools / gear's. Can I join your team for more training and also work with you? Thanks for consider me.

[@Germainmedia]

Inspiring!! Thanks for sharing this. I can do it!

[@247FilmMaker]

Love this. What are the room dimensions?

[@bradthompson1556]

What did you use for your floor and how did you ensure a smooth transition from the curve to the ground? Did you paint the cement or did you use some other flooring material?

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Brad! With the two sheets of MDF, there was a pretty small gap between the cement floor and curve. We filled this with Bog/Builders fill (the name varies from country to country) and sanded it smooth. As we had a pretty perfect cement floor with no rough areas, joins or visible cracks, we painted this directly.

[@karlpearson729]

Thanks for sharing this! Really cool to see the process. I'd be interested to know the square footage of the space you used?

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Karl! The finished studio from wall to wall is 5.5m x 10m (18ft x 32.8ft) but obviously you lose about 0.5m around the perimeter due to the curve. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@jacobcross9415]

Looks so good! How high are the ceilings in that room?

[@SyrpLab]

Glad you think so Jacob! They're roughly 4m high in the basement space

[@jacobcross9415]

@@SyrpLab Thank you!

[@henrywik]

Thanks great project. Do you have any idea on the radius of vertical corner? Thanks

[@SyrpLab]

Hey Henry! We used a Radius of 410mm - download the plans from the link in the description for full measurements

[@duncancreamer8251]

Why knowledge of how to use autodesk and having general engineering skills is good for photographers and cinematographers to have.
