[@KRXOVRmedia]

Filming in my bedroom!

[@Damoforce]

Shooting in a noook in my lounge room, no space at all!

[@leemah1739]

In my dads house

[@guitar.forbeginners.withdave]

OH MY GOD. That little girl looks EXACTLY like mine. I had to watch that part a few times but she really does and it's creeping me out and making me sweat. It's freakish. Anyway, great video, really helpful ideas. I've a really small space but the idea of shooting in a corner seems like an excellent and one I think will work for me. I record in a small bedroom using my mobile which is on a ring light. I'm also going to try facing the light against the wall and see how well that works. Thanks again.

[@FX3user]

We shoot them at our church resource center. It has more room than a typical bedroom.

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Start small, point is just get started.

[@ItsEkcho]

I start and stop and start again. I need to start being consistent.

[@lukaparac]

@@ItsEkcho Same with me, I feel you. But we'll be more and more consistent with each new try.

[@Gab-tl6lh]

Thank you!

I'm not even worried about "Getting There" @ this point, I'm just having fun making travel & tech vids👍💯

[@BlendedFamilyMan]

LOL when your kid came in. Story of my life.

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

One thing that a lot of KZbinrs don't understand that the growth of a channel takes time. Nothing happens overnight and you're gonna need to nurture your channel like a plant. You need to water it daily, provide sunshine, and most importantly, have patience! 👌🏻

[@wesleyvanpeer1988]

Very beautifully said and I couldn't agree more! Patience is definitely a key factor. That's why you gotta be doing this because you love doing it. If you're doing it for other reasons, like making a "quick buck", most will be disappointed. Much love for all creators out there!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@wesleyvanpeer1988 Exactly! How is your channel going my friend? :)

[@wesleyvanpeer1988]

@@ThreeTwentyTech Slowly progressing! Doing exactly what you described :-) Better slow growth, than no growth. Thank you for asking!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@wesleyvanpeer1988 Most of the time slow growth is the only kind of growth. Overnight success often leads failure with the exact same rate. Take it one step at a time!

[@wesleyvanpeer1988]

@@ThreeTwentyTech Again, well said! Good luck on your journey, my friend! We got this.

[@SUVRVing]

"This video is NOT brought to you by Squarespace." lol!

[@GymBunnyQuinn]

This video blew my mind, so many amazing tips! I got some equipment but my shots were still terrible and I got so frustrated I had to take a break from making content until I could ‘fix it’. You fixed 90% of my issues in this one video. You nailed it, 💯 recommend for anyone getting started

[@izzyk1998]

That trick with the 40 degree angle on the lighting is fab - makes all the difference!

[@MAGICSIX]

Great points, some things I did to maximize space: Falcon Eyes Mat Light, really thin and gives me so much more space. (I started with a ring light). Black out curtains to prevent light leaking in and make sure my light is consistent. Low aperture lens, nifty 50! The blur helps make it look more like a studio. Throw some light on the wall as well! Finally, I use the Manfrotto magic friction arm and clamp to attach my camera to my desk! Such a space saver. Attach as much to your desk as possible. Need that floor space.

[@owaisahmad6209]

hey which camera did you use which is best for first camera i want to shoot videos and some artist portraits

[@iPiranhaa]

Thanks! One of the best small space video recording tips videos I have seen on KZbin. Tremendous value.

[@cardperfectmagician]

I've been shooting in my bedroom for the last 2.5 years. From day 1 to today is such a massive difference. Thanks man 👍

[@tbeauty9147]

You give some of the best tips, advice when it comes to starting a channel. Amazing!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@thoughtswithjacinta]

I just love Think Media! I love the way your channel is helping new KZbinrs like myself. Helpful tips everytime. I loved the KZbin Impact Challenge and now the 1k challenge is everything. I'm grateful to you guys. I hope to grow my channel well and make more impact! Work, work and more work! 💪💪💪

[@BrianSchwartz]

Some boxy rooms have sound bouncing off the walls. It is another reason to consider how much room you have behind you and whether you need sound absorption materials. You can get a fairly cheap mover's blanket, decorate it the way you want and hang it on a wall. It my experience, it can really improve your sound.

[@salluhunk]

simplified and detailed info, very helpful. Thank you so much!! And thanks again for all those tips!

[@claredreyer1]

Your videos are so practical and helpful! Thanks!

[@JohnnyGuitarRocks]

Your videos are VERY helpful and informative, thank you Omar!

[@iyejare]

Massive value here, Omar. This is the second time I'm coming back here. Super helpful ❤️

[@annabour]

Your videos are exactly what I've been searching for!! I'm trying to learn about the basic gear needed to start a channel on a barely existing budget. I always give a verbal commentary when I watch tv shows, so I thought, "Hmm, maybe I have enough to say in order to start a conversation on my own channel."

[@newmic710]

Thanks I'm working alone in my room in a rehab center atm...its hard but you guys are putting up videos that seem to be meant for me and I appreciate that ...stressed but ok. God is good☝️🙏🙏🙂

[@keishawoods4973]

Thank you sooo much for all of this information you shared it’s much appreciated.

[@JonDaiello]

Batch-recording has been one of the best tips I've put into place. It helps keep the content moving into my editing flow without having to set up every, single, time. Thanks for all the tips in this video! I'm going to play around with lighting and corner shots some more.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Such a great video. Thanks so much!

[@wesleyvanpeer1988]

If I don't film in nature, I have to do it in my living room. I have no other room available, and my living room is quite small, so these are incredibly helpful tips! #noexcuses - just do it.

[@Vidar21]

I applied this advice and it actually made me improve. Thanks for your great content!

[@thethriftyfawn]

WOW!!! AH-MAY-ZING video and AH-MAY-ZING tips Omar!!! Love this video!!! Other than a couple of staircases in my house, I don't have a stationary spot that I record videos, but this info will have me ALL SET for when I do!!! Now... to go and do a small diy transformation renovation on one of my staircases (and vlog it!) as well as finish my office (ditto!)... which is very a very small office, so the corner trick is a blessing to learn ahead of time!!! Excellent job Omar!!! 😊❤👍

[@HeyyyHR]

I really have to watch that video about the all in one stand again bc that seems like the perfect set up. I reorganized my furniture too. I signed up for that class (yesterday was good). I always batch record. Thanks so much for your help!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Here ya go... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmHaY6Zrm9-giac

[@MichaelNealeYT]

Amazing tips here for people just getting started. Using the window is amazing, especially in summer, but when clouds start moving it makes lighting uneven through the video so it's a good idea to invest in a cheap keylight to start with

[@riavlogstz]

yah using sunlight only is very challenging cos you have to take video during the day and when the weather is good.. But during night you can't do anything and that's me!! It's better to invest in an equipment

[@See_Shells_Crochet]

I found so much value in your tips. I just launched my first video - shooting it from a spare bedroom. "See what I'm shooting in my bedroom" I definitely keep coming back to your videos! Got this one marked as "watch later" cause I need to keep reviewing it"

[@CreativeThinking52]

Hi Omar, Awesome tips. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Very informative thank you , these few tips did really help my videos look a whole lot better :)

[@yashawells]

I loved the depth tip you shared.

[@handyhistorian]

Another banger from Think Media (helps that it's the same name as my favorite skateboard company from back in the day), the tip to batch record is golden, when you're in the zone then make the most of the time and energy that you have.

[@jaylift_]

This was helpful for my new channel!! Got to work with what we got ! Space, camera or phone, etc appreciate this channel and info!

Thank you very much for useful contents. hopefully more will coming.

Amazing tips and I love StreamYard, I use it for my weekly live streams ( Give or take a few weeks skipped here and there ) I use the free version and it's great. I agree on the lighting and the lens part. Great stuff.

[@Tashas_Travels]

Saving up for a shotgun mic and an 11-22mm lens. I have the canon m50 and the exact same manfrotto tripod that you're using in this video, and for vlogs I use the manfrotto pixi tripod.

[@jonmendoza6256]

Well done. Thanks for the tips!:)

[@kathykujawa6183]

Hi Omar. I love your videos. Big dilemma. I have 2 choices. I have an upstairs bedroom with good light but more noise from both the house and outside yarn mowers and traffic. My preferred place is the basement which is more quiet all the time but obviously needs more lighting- its also where all the show and tell inventory is located. You have said before that sound is so important. so just wanted to know your vote- upstairs or downstairs?? thanks so much.

[@FilmmakersforChrist]

Amazing KZbin Channel!! You Guys are the best! You helped me get my KZbin Channel started! Thank you for the videos!
