YouTube Studio Setup - Home Video Studio Setup and Tour

[@bwashmedia]

I think this was a great video. A designated studio set up is perfect for consistency as well as being able to knock out a video quickly without worrying about where you are going to set up.

[@markbloyd1224]

Glad you included the out takes at the end. Really helps with my confidence when I see someone at your level having the same issues as everyone else.

[@Krisstofers]

I'm glad to know that I'm NOT the only ONE that does the 3,2,1 or forget where I was going with my content. I've just started to become more raw in my videos, as I don't have all the time in the world to edit my videos!

[@TechLineHD]

Complaining is not a strategy. Thanks to your videos, I keep saying that to myself every 10 mins and it really helps a lot!

[@SeenSven]

You've come far :)

[@onemanonedogtheatre3743]

Super limited budget. Upgrading my camera from my phone to an actual camera. $89 through Amazon. Using a green screen that came with 3 studio lights- $154 Amazon. I can change my background with my mouse. 10 x 20 canvass/carport studio $239/Costco. Plus tripod and miscellaneous... I got less than $750 into my studio. Thank you, Think Media, for your great videos. I am super new to KZbin and find your information invaluable! You have a loyal follower here. Keep it up!

[@DepressionTalks1]

To answer your question of the day, I think this video was very thorough. As a starting KZbinr, I think that you really just have to work with what you have. To some it can be almost intimidating since we feel like we can't do it without all of the right equipment. It's important just to start. This video is pretty much the end goal of the perfect ideal set up. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@CandiceBrathwaiteAboderin]

I'm a sucker for bright backgrounds, so I use an ikea clothing rail, clothes pegs and different off cuts of material or wrapping paper. My lighting set up is similar to yours. As usual a very helpful video

[@MarkWattsVLG]

Discovered my set by experimenting, was using the sofa but I have an open plan living room and the kitchen made for a terrible backdrop. I now use the corner of the room which has my nerd shelf full of games, action figures and Pops

[@Podcastage]

I think it's important to have an interesting background. Some people may look at my background as TOO busy, but for me, I use it as a way to illustrate the mics I've tested. Hopefully people see it, and think of it as interesting, ultimately driving more traffic to my videos.

[@akshatanand8796]

Podcastage bro you be the best

[@dtesta]

Maybe someone should tell "Unbox Therapy" that. He has a completely clean background and only has a couple of million subscribers....

[@DarkPa1adin]

I don't care about your background. Your mic reviews are what matters!

[@videogamemusicandnews9303]

Sounds like you want to get people interested in your videos by distracting them from the content of your videos...

[@environmentNow]

I always saw your videos, and now I finally understand your background, Keep doing videos, they helped me a lot!!

[@PheladiRSA]

Sean thank you for alway - and ALWAYS bringing us real value in your videos! At this rate I binge listen to your videos just to always keep my mind focused on the end goal and to get value. Thank you Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@JeiCos]

I figured out a pretty neat setup for a shotgun mic. I use a second tripod. I have 2 for when I need multiple cameras, and if I'm just making a normal video like how you are, with one camera and one mic, I can put the mic on the other tripod and put it in front of me, and since I stand for a lot of videos, it isn't usually seen in the video. and is under me, which catches my voice VERY nicely.

[@chillinkansai]

I use an inifinity black background. (Just solid black in the background.) Just get a large black cloth (can be found on amazon for about $15) and stand about 6-10 in front of it. I use a 3 point light system, 2 LED panels (left and right), and a "hair" light to keep me separated from the background. It's a pretty inexpensive set up and easier to keep clean than a sofa. (also a RODE mic user) :D

[@JesseUnderscoreMartin]

+chillinkansai I've always liked the look of a black background. Two questions: What distance is your camera at? What focal length?

[@chillinkansai]

I have the camera about 3-4 meters (12-15 ft.) away from the backdrop and I am about 5ft (1.5 m) in front of the camera. I use a 18-55 canon kit lens, around 24 or so to crop out the edges of the backdrop. The biggest catch is to not bring the lights too close to the backdrop. Mine are about 2-3 ft behind the camera and off to the sides. I occasionally have to tweek the video in post to darken it up a little, but generally that means I don't have the lights set quite right and the spill is making it all the way to the backdrop.

[@JesseUnderscoreMartin]

chillinkansai Thanks for the reply. Interesting about the lighting, I wouldn't have expected that with a black background. Good luck with your channel!

[@chillinkansai]

Jesse, No worries! Thanks, You too!

[@peoplegettingfit1906]

Talk about where you find your music and how you mix it into your videos.

[@peoplegettingfit1906]

Jaycraft Gaming well then it should be pretty easy to throw me a link to the video.

[@MoistBreadFilms]

Jaycraft Gaming k

[@DaveStealsTheShow]

I use www.soundcloud.com whenever I need music for my videos. Hope that helps.

[@singwisevocals]

Have you checked out the royalty-free music on KZbin (for channel creators)?

[@andrescavazos9927]

where?

[@MunkeySpaz]

A question I think most guys avoid asking or even talking about... Makeup. Do you put on any kind of makeup to your face to cut down on shine?

[@guybirtwhistle]

MunkeySpaz I use Ben Nye Neutral Set Colorless Face Powder and a Powder Brush. Great for removing shine when you're under bright lights. No color so it doesn't look like you're wearing any makeup. You only need to use a little bit so it lasts for years.

[@Technokrits]

MunkeySpaz actually you are right it's also a one of the important question

[@pearcrustacean]

funny how years ago i watched your video and thought that someday i would be thanking you and trying to replicate this with some DIY cheap gear to go for a humble start... and now i don't know how i end up getting more advanced gear and broke the bank and still thanking you for sharing your awesome setup.

[@stastro1785]

Had some major issues with that Manfrotto video head. Went through not one but two of them in a short time frame. The fluid color (red ring) for the pan got jammed up. Had to send it into Manfrotto for repair and got a brand new one back (they wouldn't repair it). Got the new one back and then the fluid tensioner knob for the head's tilt just jammed up the other day. Not sure if the person who was operating the camera at the time (I stepped out of the shoot and handed over to another photographer) tightened it too much but it's now completely jammed. Point is, be very careful with that tri-pod video head. The fluid tensioners are very sensitive and clearly prone to locking up.

[@mandurahchess]

I think most have too much in the background. In Australia, for me, the Gold Standard is the ABC with its 7.30 program, and its news reports. For a photographer, I think one or two examples on the wall behind. If those are used in the video too, then that ties the two together very well.

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

GREAT CHANNEL! Would be brilliant if you can do a review of some descent "budget" lighting systems for the beginner to dabble in... just a suggestion 🙄

[@FishNChipsNGuacamole]

those are decent lol. 150 is super cheap for lighting.

[@DaveRigg]

Alex Valenzuela yeah people don’t realize how that’s actually a cheap setup

[@KellanReck]

Just did a video on this actually. Can get a great setup for under $100

[@SunshineJoleen]

There's already a cheap lighting video on this channel. I bought the light he recommended (an LED light that cost me under $30). It rocks.

[@bba2035]

YOU ARE SAVIOR YOU SAVE MY DAY AND YOU DESERVE AT LEAST AT LEAST 1 MILLION SUBS

[@ericjt1234]

I struggled a lot with my set area, working on what to have in it and how to light it right, camera angles. I have limited space, so it was challenging. I finally gave up and bought a 5 x 6.5 popup green/blue screen background and will be using that, inserting a nice 'set' image or whatever bg I want, including video or text if I like. I can blur a room photo in my photo editor (someone suggested I take pictures at IKEA-lol) to make it look like bokeh without having to own the right lens to make that effect in my space. So, for 53 bucks I can fake the same effect as a large aperture lens costing 300 dollars or more, but using my respectable EFS 18-55 Canon lens that came in the kit, which gives me some zoom options as well. I bought the Fovitec StudioPRO - 5' x 6.5' Green/Blue Double-Sided Pop-Out Muslin Backdrop from amazon.com if you are interested. Watch the video a few times to learn how to fold it up. FYI, I will be editing in DaVinci Resolve, which is free and has great editing, including custom mattes for green screen.

[@chrisbookwalter]

Bloopers at the end were awesome. Shows how filming REALLY ends up happening.

[@SewingReport]

Great video showing your setup Sean! If you're ever looking to switch out your pillow covers - I'd be happy to sew you new ones!

[@LittleKosherLunch]

While a pristine dedicated KZbin "studio" is probably not feasible in a house with small children, your styling tips and gear advice (hair light?! wow!) are really helpful! Maybe I'll get off my iPhone and onto something proper this year too. Thanks!

[@Kravingkurlz]

I swear guys this guy is a MUST subscribe...everything I search for my channel he has a video for it take notes on this guy guys he is awesome

[@arinwaichulis]

100 percent. I've been watching his vids for months now, so helpful!

[@craftertewaka289]

NEEWER® 160 LED CN-160 is a good tip and not over price here in the UK. Your videos have been a good learning curve. Many thanks.

[@OnceUponAChurch]

if only I had the money to buy all these awesome things

[@rva]

OnceUponAChurch work harder! u got this

[@DavidGriffis]

You don't need a ring light. Led lights are cheap and have filters. Musician's friends always has good prices on stands. You don't need 1500 dollars of camera gear for a home youtube set. This guy spent 2-3 grand. You can get good KZbin video and audio equipment for around 500.

[@candikcan1720]

Mr. David...I'm in the market for YT "studio" lights, also...functional but economical. How, when where?

[@NathanHallGadgetsGreatness]

Do what we did: Start an equipment budget. Fund it with what you can. As it grows, buy items piece by piece. Before you know it, you'll have a nice starter kit. Buying pre-owned is a great way to save loot. I just got a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens in the FB Marketplace for only $60!! Start where you are until get to where you want to be!

[@hoverbike3431]

This is what you need kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJzSh6qGqJZorpI

[@environmentNow]

I use my very tiny bed room, with 50mm 1.8 STM, a great lens, you can't tell it is a bed room, I use day light, Canon EOS 1300D (Rebel t6 in America), a chair, and a Weifeng 3111 tripod (it kinda broke after a week, so I can't recommend it), and I use my phone for recording audio, with some DIY mounting

[@environmentNow]

BTW this is the setup that I choosed AFTER doing some videos, when I started I found an old bridge camera in and tripod in my house, and asked my parents if I can use it for my KZbin Channel, I did used it, and I learned a lot about White balance, Exposure, composition, lighting, etc..., So if anyone read it, take a note: search around your house or ask someone in your family if they have a camera, it doesn't need to be new or have 1080p, etc.. but if it can do manual exposure it will probably help you learn the basics

[@ShirazMistry]

The best part was the bloopers at the end. Why? Because you made it look so easy during the video. A really good and detailed explanation of the items for beginners like me.

[@libertybell8427]

i have used all kinds of lighting. music stands(drummer) and clip lights with led bulbs worked great for me. a desk lamp can be useful for up light effects, like my thumbnail. you can see the shadow of the leg on the wall behind. kind of unfair advantage, worked in stage and sound for years. great video

[@mike.thomas]

Nice vid, as usual. Your window background does a great job of avoiding shadows on the back wall, even when you're close to it. Shadows are something I struggle with due to the layout of my available basement "studio" space, even if I get the lights right next to the ceiling.

[@3WingProductions]

This was made back in 2016 and here I am in 2020 still taking notes - Great Job Think Media, watching your videos is like going to "fun school" - keep it up!!!

[@GrimRZR]

I like the messups at the end. I am now coming to realize the need for a little studio setup for my house. I never thought it would be helpful with my videos being outdoors but I think it will be worth it. being able to add some quality face time to describe whats coming up is going to be awesome.

[@shagiwal100]

Kindly answer my question. 1. To run youtube channel in USA or to run youtube channel in India, will it have difference in earning money? 2. Is the youtube search engine work differently in the world or all are same? 3. Advertisement, do we need to run advertisement by our self or youtube do this automatically?

[@alexanderlyon]

Awesome. I learn just as much about the thinking behind the gear choices from these videos as I do about the gear. I always say this but you're a great teacher, Sean. Thanks!

[@chroxzvlogz5340]

Basically from cheap experience. What i do for a backdrop is that I get an extendable hanger and place my blanket there and hang it somewhere. For the Microphone I made a diy mic cause I cant afford a real one so I cut my old earphones into mic cause it was an old earphone with a mic, and with open camera I had it setup. Now I only bought 3 items for my setup. A yunteng tripod and 3 lenses, wide angle(0.66mm), macro, and fish eye. I really didnt need a monopod and tripod because we already had that but the tripod is about 4 inches and the legs are small and the monopod is good but its unbalanced. I just wanted 2 share cause I feel its not only me whos cheap in vlogging so yeah that might help? Idk

[@julianaguirre5684]

very informative video!.. very easy to understand for everyone. BTW ,,whenever you want to travel to different countries and do some shooting, i recommend you fly on an F214-44 since they have the best 577s and the fluxcapacitors in the cabin make safer for the electronic equipment. they have the best NEERS's and 889-CVX's around. ALso when you board,you walk through the Grouners Mattatos,they are very cool to set up once you get to your seat. When you find your seat on the 551-MHTers or the PPr5s-vss you just press the 775-ers but you cant just push the button, you set up the Crawlper's or the G.U.N.B.F's 556...cont get the 557 if they offer them..even if they're free.grab the JUUR.s's they can do some 445's look bad.

[@BenoistRousseau]

what is the size of your room that I can see if I can transform a small room in the same way as you? Great job, I go through your Amazon links to buy everything. You are good !

[@DavidGriffis]

Great tips. Camera gear spot on. Bi-color lights very cool. But audio can be vastly improved. Adding sound panels will get rid of the echo. Sounds like you're in a bathtub. Can't hurt to have a bigger room either. Seems cramped. And if you're home why not use a condenser mic with and audio interface recording into a DAW? There are some great cheap mics like C-1 Behringer for 50 bucks. But the advantage of your setup is that you can use it outside too. But in that case a lavalier (especially wireless or into an H1) would be a better option. The only time I see a boom stand having an advantage is with an assistant with a mobile system. Otherwise you're better off with a Shure V83 going into an H1 or something. The mic you have pretty much sucks. And going into the camera with the mic makes it even worse. Always better to record the audio separately if you like good sound. But it's way too easy to criticize. Your video is great and most people listen to it on bad speakers anyway. In my case I listened to it on a Sennheiser HD 280 my favorite studio headphones. Had the Sony one's but they didn't give me a neutral sound. It's always nice to pickup something from a video. And I picked up a couple or so here. Thank you.

[@austinaguilar3336]

I need a ring light as well. I currently use a flood light and point it directly at a car window shader and the light reflects off pretty decently

[@vincemanueleshow]

Who films for you? I saw the tripod move

[@samreenart]

A good setup seriously makes such a huge difference! Btw Is it possible for you to do a brief video about your video editing settings? The in camera settings + the editing software settings or some tips on it? Would love to see that!

[@lambslaught]

Samreen Art I think he already did but I do not know the links

[@Technokrits]

[@dagkanozyenilmez8479]

I have few questions, I will be glad for answers 1. What is the differences btw. soft box lights , umbrella lights and direct led lights. I can not figure out which one do ı need the use. 2. I planned to organize a home studio just like you 've done which lenses do ı need to use with my canon 70D to have a blur background with objects. ( ı don't have any lens right now ı am going to buy according to your suggestions ) Thank you for your all advices

[@marypraught9509]

What's the iPhone tripod I see throughout the video (the non-bendy one)? I am in desperate need of one.

[@janeeightfive7331]

one tip: if you have a nice background (7:00) you should also put a light on that! with strip lights or a little spot you can set accents to the picture. LED lamps are easy and fast to use but you can do so much more with real lamps.

[@614Lyfe]

great video. I need some of this equipment for my new setup.

I've used the kitchen for two videos, a couch in my living room and the iron wall art as a background wall. Not sure if I'm selecting the right background. This leads me to two questions: 1. Do you have videos on picking the right background in a home? 2. Do you have a video on the proper angle to set the video camera when talking into it? Please forgive me if you have shared these videos. I'll keep searching your video archives.

[@dalewooten939]

how do you do your whitebalancing...do you use a 50% grey card, use a setting in the camera or just AWB? in this video your key light on the right side of your face is way to bright and you are burnt out there and you don't have great fill light. I would also use a big hair light as you move around so much it isn't staying on your hair and it's casting hot spots when you do. Also a "hairlight" helps put deffinition on the hair separating it from the background, unlike a window which is a background light in it'self.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

I have always liked Nikon. I took a walk on the dark side when I bought my Canon 3TI. So many beauty bloggers were using it so that's what I bought. Question for you: I just bought a Rode mic. Sooo, I just need the boom stand and cable. Or, do you think a second mic would be handy?

[@sharkm3963]

I dont know why but you get my trust when it comes to these things coz once you recommend it i know its worth buying it:)

[@JC-cr5ty]

I want to start a youtube channel which works thru calculus, ODEs, and PDEs. I basically just want my camera facing straight down onto the paper while I teach thru a book. I figure that I can get away with a pretty cheap setup. What "stuff" would you recommend for a setup like this? Quality of camera? Lighting? Sound? Etc?

[@lorimast]

As for lighting, what do you suggest for the glare in eyeglasses?

What about when you are on a budget?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Great point :-) Going to make a video on the BEST BUDGET KZbin studio gear soon!

[@sammymarrco2]

ive got the same problem too

[@ShaneStemberg]

CynthsColorfulWorld the canon G7x as well as G7x Mark II are a bit cheaper without compromising quality. They're also point and shoot camera's making it easy for new channels to be a little more versatile. A Sony mark 3 or 4 are pretty cheap on the market as well with the same features.

[@ArtOfDavidAmos]

Yeah like each one of those lights are about $300 each

[@TechLineHD]

and that's very cheap.

[@CarynWilson]

I just watched like ten of your videos! And have a list of things to help me grow my channel !! Thank you!! I'm into beauty and I'm going for it !

[@throttleupprepper]

Awesome video! I have a relatively new channel for about two months now and have the audio absolutely nailed! I am legally blind so I know or presume I was going to need some help with lighting. Very valuable information I can't wait to go see if I can afford this stuff! LOL I have many years and radio broadcasting on voiceover work so my audio is kind of high-end. Or use a four track Alisa's mixing board which is connected to my computer using USB connection. The audio go through a Sampson module that offers gate and compression among other things. I use an old dynamic Sampson Q8 microphone. So far my video I am just using the camera on my iMac desktop or when I am away from the studio are use my iPad air too. I don't like the audio so much when I am remote. We use iMovie to edit everything. I may just start using the iPad for B roll only that might be the wisest thing to do. Very excited about the lighting info thank you!

[@preetindersingh3396]

The lights are too much but love the ring light for close up shots.

[@samuelsam9265]

I just take two 10w 12v led for my studio and i use two mics from my old head phones and smartphone for camera with tripod

[@joevacantifishing3209]

First, I love your Vids. Keep i up. Just a simple tip on Window lighting. A north facing window provides the softest most pleasant lighting. You can also use some cardboard with Aluminum foil wrapped on it to bounce light back at the subject to open up shadows.

[@ThisLittleCriticSanad]

So i bought the light u have on the ceiling after seeing your review on it. I love it, it makes a big difference.

[@MCPickaxe]

I have a PC, one of those umbrella lights, a ps4 (with ps4 camera) a USB mic, a shirt clip mic, and a samsung galaxy s8.

[@TheTuneProject]

This is super helpful. Thanks for continuing to raise the bar with these quality vids!!

[@ZoeGregoryPhoto]

I'm trying to decide if the next thing on my list needs to be a battery grip, ring light, or mic. Such hard decissions.

[@RotterStudios]

such a great video dude! i like to use reflectors at times to bounce light and soften light. reflectors allow you to keep you lighting setup permanent but also creates the illusion of moving light around without actually moving it.

[@CelinaLiya]

Sean, totally off topic here, but you might as well just claim to be an italian. I'm loving the hand gestures while talking! haha

[@brianlau2744]

Why would you throw in the T5i and T6i in comparison to the 70D? Isn't the 70D's dual piksel much better?

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

We need a video on audio for people doing vlogs. Try to stage it as what to do for a beginner, then intermediate, then advanced. Start with on-camera audio. Demo the built-in microphone, then a wired lav mic to show budget or starting out options. Then switch to a shotgun mic. Now repeat all 3 audio demos but use a small $99 digital audio recorder like the Zoom or Tascam. Please emphasize that viewers will forgive lower resolution audio, but they really learn with the audio and bad audio will drive viewers away.

[@MySaw]

Robert McElfresh cheap great setup. zoom h1 + JK® MIC-J 044 Lavalier. then sync on Premier Pro.

[@MakingitMcgee]

This is a great video we all need help with the lighting and tripod setup... Yes I would like to know about where you get your music for KZbin and how to put it in your videos.... Thanks for being such a positive an d productive person Sean for us on KZbin...Thank you so much....

[@ryansmusicescape9762]

Thank you very much for this video! I’m an amateur musician just preparing to record my first couple of videos. I’ve just starting to assemble a studio in my home. I think I have audio covered but the lighting is something I hadn’t put a lot of thought into and want to explore a bit more. I’d also like to look into a different camera a some point but am currently shooting with a GoPro Hero 4. I’m sure I’ll be revisiting this video often. Thank You, I’ll be uploading my first few videos soon!

Whose watching this in 2019, the red hook is a very good "work with what you have"

I like your set up. Lighting has always been the biggest challenge. The light panels plus the ring light seems to be a pretty straight forward solution for KZbin Videos. Now to make a space to utilize them properly. I find natural light to be the best light but the downside is when it's a cloudy day. There's a constant shift that will vary from moment to moment. How do you compensate for that given the back window on your set/home is giving off natural light?

I have a camcorder and hopefully can get a DSLR at some point in the future. I've got a ring light, too, but I need the other lights still. Thanks for this video!

Could i use just 3 of those neewer LED lights for 3 point lighting for my videos? I'm in a small corner of a room in pitch black. Key & Fill lights at least 10 feet away.

Thanks for sharing. I'm mid process of setting up a studio and this definitely gave me some clarity, thank you.
