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.
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 RUclips and find your information invaluable! You have a loyal follower here. Keep it up!
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!
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.
To answer your question of the day, I think this video was very thorough. As a starting RUclipsr, 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!
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
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 🇿🇦
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
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.
chillinkansai Thanks for the reply. Interesting about the lighting, I wouldn't have expected that with a black background. Good luck with your channel!
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!!!
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.
While a pristine dedicated RUclips "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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙄
Where have you been all my ''youtuber'' wannabe life?????!!!!! I subbed right away. I wish i found you before. Thank you so much for all the info. I appreciate it so much. It will definitely help.
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.
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!
I just wanna say I love your videos. I just started my channel couple weeks ago and I came across your channel just couple days ago. Good content and value added. Keep it up.
Another great video Sean. I've got a flat and have converted it into a two room studio. installed rollers with black, white and green screen. installed some light pilon's on the walls too. Got one room set up for interview's, nice chairs, brick slips installed for textured background.
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.
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 RUclips video and audio equipment for around 500.
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!
Great tips for this new RUclipsr!! Your videos have been so helpful, informative and entertaining to watch! Good luck to everyone starting in 2020!! :)
Hey Sean! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I just noticed you have yet to reach a million subs! Started to get back on youtube after a while! Your channel has really helped me understand a lot of basics in understanding cameras, settings and compositions! Just dropping by to say thanks! Cheers from the Philippines! and cheers to more subs! :D
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 RUclips and how to put it in your videos.... Thanks for being such a positive an d productive person Sean for us on RUclips...Thank you so much....
Ring lights certainly have a purpose but I think with this setup, the bi-color lights and hair light are perfect enough. The ring light would be perfect for the B shots. Overall, good tips here.
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.
Im using the lights that you recommended the neewer 176.. they work fine for now to my youtube channel and they was really cheap. Thank you think media tv to all the tips
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.
Wow! This is an awesome set up. I have to get something going to flim my cooking videos. Right now all I have is my smart phone. Hoping my little channel grows and I can get monetized soon. Then maybe I can afford to get everything I need to make better quality videos!
Thank you for the great content! You provided me the necessary tips needed to start my own channel. I plan on investing on a camera then I'll be opening up another channel. Keep doing what you do Sean, your videos are great!
Can you do a video for complete beginners on everything you need to know about home studio, including entry level muslin screens, lighting, audio and your own personal review on how much a difference the lights and things make.
Thank you so much for all the great content! I've been upgrading my equipment and your videos have helped me soooo much!! I just bought the Canon D70, The Studio Pro Lighting set and the Ravelli Tripod using your links!! Thank you again!
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!
Great video on lighting. Have a DIY video on lighting myself. Cheap and easy and on a budget. Great work guys. Been watching your vids for a while now and finally subscribing
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!
Hey, this was great information for what equipment to use. I’m no sure it’s for beginners like me because I can’t afford this stuff just yet, but it’s nice to know The products to look into in the future. Thanks again!! Always incredible videos!
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.
Always great tips! Will be purchasing the lighting set with tripods so my girlfriend and I have great lighting in our sit down vlogs. Thank you for the help!
Hey Sean!!! Another amazing video as usual. You NEVER fail to deliver!! :) Absolutely LOVED the bloopers at the end. Please do more of them!!! :) Really enjoyed that the most.
Hi, I've got 2 questions: 1. can you pleaseeeee make a video about the best setup for tiny spaces? (I've literally got a tiny little space left in my room and I'm trying to use it for shooting, but it's super hard D: ) 2. how to set up 2 soft boxes for the best result? thank you
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.
Complaining is not a strategy. Thanks to your videos, I keep saying that to myself every 10 mins and it really helps a lot!
You've come far :)
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.
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.
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.

Sean I'm a kid of 11 years old and I watch your channel!
EvilTrikix #1 me to 😜
EvilTrikix #1 Me tooo
Maximum 8 Gaming channel I'm 11 too lol
Game Over me too
Hey kiddos!

It's a pretty inexpensive set up and easier to keep clean than a sofa. (also a RODE mic user) :D
+chillinkansai I've always liked the look of a black background. Two questions: What distance is your camera at? What focal length?
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.

Jesse, No worries! Thanks, You too!
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!!!
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
100 percent. I've been watching his vids for months now, so helpful!

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.
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:)
YOU ARE SAVIOR YOU SAVE MY DAY AND YOU DESERVE AT LEAST AT LEAST 1 MILLION SUBS
Bloopers at the end were awesome. Shows how filming REALLY ends up happening.
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.
Thanks Sean! I'm getting started on RUclips soon and your videos are a massive help in getting started
Check out his other channel Bro. Its even better.
andrew arrington hi can you help to gain 100 sub this week. i will subscribe to your channel just comment done!
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!
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
Solid video. Good to see that your're a real person with flaws as well. Keep crushing it!
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.
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.
Podcastage bro you be the best
Maybe someone should tell "Unbox Therapy" that. He has a completely clean background and only has a couple of million subscribers....
I don't care about your background. Your mic reviews are what matters!
Sounds like you want to get people interested in your videos by distracting them from the content of your videos...
I always saw your videos, and now I finally understand your background, Keep doing videos, they helped me a lot!!
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.

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 🙄
those are decent lol. 150 is super cheap for lighting.
Alex Valenzuela yeah people don’t realize how that’s actually a cheap setup
Just did a video on this actually. Can get a great setup for under $100
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.
I have so much to learn. I feel I could do better but I'm trying. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Great video. Me and my wife are setting up a home studio for videos and this video was very helpful. Gracias :)
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 !
Where have you been all my ''youtuber'' wannabe life?????!!!!!
I subbed right away. I wish i found you before. Thank you so much for all the info. I appreciate it so much. It will definitely help.

So i bought the light u have on the ceiling after seeing your review on it. I love it, it makes a big difference.
your dialogue HELP YOU GO FURTHER.......MEDIA is awsome

Greta video. I just started my youtube studio. A lot of mistakes but like you said: Just get started.
thank you very useful information. I need good lighting for my video studio. thanks for this vide0
I just wanna say I love your videos. I just started my channel couple weeks ago and I came across your channel just couple days ago. Good content and value added. Keep it up.
great video. I need some of this equipment for my new setup.
This was kinda the peak of this channel
Another great video Sean. I've got a flat and have converted it into a two room studio. installed rollers with black, white and green screen. installed some light pilon's on the walls too. Got one room set up for interview's, nice chairs, brick slips installed for textured background.
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.
if only I had the money to buy all these awesome things
OnceUponAChurch work harder! u got this

This is super helpful. Thanks for continuing to raise the bar with these quality vids!!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I know what I will be binge watching this weekend ;) Anna
Great tips for this new RUclipsr!! Your videos have been so helpful, informative and entertaining to watch! Good luck to everyone starting in 2020!! :)
Hey Sean! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and I just noticed you have yet to reach a million subs! Started to get back on youtube after a while! Your channel has really helped me understand a lot of basics in understanding cameras, settings and compositions! Just dropping by to say thanks! Cheers from the Philippines! and cheers to more subs! :D
Thank you Sean! I just got my lighting kit and shotgun microphone. I really appreciate how helpful your videos are.
Fantastic setup you got there man, good job. 2 years ago but still worth watching.
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 RUclips and how to put it in your videos.... Thanks for being such a positive an d productive person Sean for us on RUclips...Thank you so much....
with all the video equipment near that couch, I guess that's where the action & magic happens. 😉
Great tips.
Ring lights certainly have a purpose but I think with this setup, the bi-color lights and hair light are perfect enough. The ring light would be perfect for the B shots. Overall, good tips here.
Great advice as always! 🙏🏾
Who else is starting their channel in 2020?
Me! :) good luck to you and every one else starting their channel in 2020!

Love the look of the LED lights. Love the 70D. Thanks for the video, it's helped confirm some things and shed light on other things.
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.
Wow! This is an awesome set up. I have to get something going to flim my cooking videos. Right now all I have is my smart phone. Hoping my little channel grows and I can get monetized soon. Then maybe I can afford to get everything I need to make better quality videos!
Thank you for the great content! You provided me the necessary tips needed to start my own channel. I plan on investing on a camera then I'll be opening up another channel. Keep doing what you do Sean, your videos are great!
Can you do a video for complete beginners on everything you need to know about home studio, including entry level muslin screens, lighting, audio and your own personal review on how much a difference the lights and things make.
Talk about where you find your music and how you mix it into your videos.
Jaycraft Gaming well then it should be pretty easy to throw me a link to the video.

I use www.soundcloud.com whenever I need music for my videos. Hope that helps.
Have you checked out the royalty-free music on RUclips (for channel creators)?
where?
Your videos are very informative and you have a great presentation style. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Sean!! great video, love the bloopers you put in at the end of this video.. YOUR HUMAN!!
Thank you so much for all the great content! I've been upgrading my equipment and your videos have helped me soooo much!! I just bought the Canon D70, The Studio Pro Lighting set and the Ravelli Tripod using your links!! Thank you again!
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!
Samreen Art I think he already did but I do not know the links
Samreen Art I am also trying to finding a better editing software if you guys finding something good software then please share with me too
Jio Fuddu filmora is good it's 60 dollars but you can get it free look up a vid on how to get it free
try hitfilm editing software....the cool thing is its free :D
I use davinci resolve... its borderline Adobe's editor.
Great video on lighting. Have a DIY video on lighting myself. Cheap and easy and on a budget. Great work guys. Been watching your vids for a while now and finally subscribing
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!
I really like your videos and your way of explaining all the products.
Thanks for sharing. I'm mid process of setting up a studio and this definitely gave me some clarity, thank you.
Awesome video. You know, I like to say that no one ever really has to tell to subscribe. The content always make the decision for me.
Thank you for this video, we are new and this is really making me look more into lighting and other tech.
Hey, this was great information for what equipment to use. I’m no sure it’s for beginners like me because I can’t afford this stuff just yet, but it’s nice to know
The products to look into in the future. Thanks again!! Always incredible videos!
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?
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.
MunkeySpaz actually you are right it's also a one of the important question
That's a proper studio 👌. I just started making videos myself and your channel has been extremely helpful(:
Awesome - happy to help - keep crushing it!
I agree with Lipstick & Lifting about the ring light,but he ain't say he bought that,but he saying where he brought them damn pillows,lmfao 🤣..
Again...absolutely incredible content!!! I'm enjoying and appreciating every video on your channel. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great and informative videos. I learn a lot by watching your stuff and the videos are done well!
Your videos are always very instructional, I'm definitely going to look into the shotgun mic ! Thank you again
Thats awesome man! I will definitely rely on your tips in my next videos for my nutrition tips. Thanks so much
just started my channel, but already implementing some of you tips, thank you so much, very helpful
Thank you Sir. I’ve been looking for this kind of information for years.
Always great tips! Will be purchasing the lighting set with tripods so my girlfriend and I have great lighting in our sit down vlogs. Thank you for the help!
Beautiful setup!!!
Whose watching this in 2019, the red hook is a very good "work with what you have"
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
"complaining is not a strategy". I love it
You are having a very nice RUclips channel I must say
Wow, you must have invested a lot in all that awesome equipment!! Nice video, man!
Good info. Gag real at the end is always funny.
:-)
Louie Brennan-LB4 I totally agree.
Tripod squad on the book shelf ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Hey Sean!!! Another amazing video as usual. You NEVER fail to deliver!! :) Absolutely LOVED the bloopers at the end. Please do more of them!!! :) Really enjoyed that the most.
You have a great voice for teaching 🙂
Hi, I've got 2 questions:
1. can you pleaseeeee make a video about the best setup for tiny spaces? (I've literally got a tiny little space left in my room and I'm trying to use it for shooting, but it's super hard D: )
2. how to set up 2 soft boxes for the best result?
thank you
Your videos are full of knowledge, I love it
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.
Been watching and subscribed to you since you had 30,000 subs. Awesome content as always keep it up.
Thanks - appreciate the support - keep crushing it as well! :-)
