Great video, but if I hadn't already subscribed and knew your content, I would never click on your video based on the thumbnail. If you sort the RUclips channel "Ben Johnson" by popularity, you'll see comparison videos. You can do something similar, but instead of before and after, put $0 and $5 with a noticeable difference. But that's just my opinion, if you want a specific thumbnail design that fits your channel, go for it. Once again, the video content itself was excellent.
I really appreciate the constructive criticism! I definitely have a style I like for my channel, but at the end of the day CTR is SUPER important. Thanks for taking the time to write that, I'll definitely take it into consideration!
There's some good stuff in here, but if someone has a budget this small, they're going to be shooting on their phone, not on a several thousand dollar DSLR camera where they can properly control things like ISO, shutter speed, white balance etc. Also, you didn't show how you're lighting the background in your actual setup, which is what really brings it all together.
The open alone got me to click the like. This is helpful. Would love your to figure out how to set up my home studio with the ability to share a screen and then come back to me the way they do in a webinar.
Do you happen to know what the shelf is that you’re using in the background of the final shot? My camera gear is so unorganized and that shelf looks so spacious. Great video as well :)
Thanks! I've had it for a while but funny enough I was able to find it. I'm 98% sure it's the "72" 5 Shelf Loring Ladder Bookshelf - Project 62™" at Target for $150 USD.
Looks like I'm going to need to invest in some foam board at some point. What were you using to position the board at the right height? I don't think you mentioned where to get the hanging clamp set up thing or how much it would cost.
I was using a light stand with a clamp (really just because I have a bunch of both). You can usually find camps for $1 - $3 at any hardware store (or amazon). I've had some pretty ugly DIY setups in the past using a yardstick or dresser to hold up foam board, but if you want to grab an amazonbasics tripod or cheap light stand (they start around $15) that's the best approach in the long run...I guess that technically breaks the $5 budget but I guarantee it'll be worth it 😅
I have a problem. I turn off all my room lights, and i turn on my key light, which is a softbox, but the background is too bright, i want more of a darker background, like you showed in this video. How do i manage to do this? Thanks!
I would love to know if this set up works on my Canon 80D with EF-S 18-55mm kit lens or maybe I should invest in a little better lens that you can recommend?
Some of my favorite lenses for the Canon 80D are the Canon 24mm f/2.8, Sigma 17-50 f/2.8, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, and Sigma 30mm f/1.4. They're all a little different in price, but all will give great results!
Would love to see this filmed on an iPhone instead of an expensive camera. I don’t have a camera yet. Great tips though!
do it yourself then lol
Yeah adding the whole camera things removes the $5-$250 dlls

@@JoshWiniarski1 year later I find this video and I can confirm he did take it into consideration! What a step up!
He’s getting 30k views for his videos and apparently without a killer thumbnail. Id say he’s going just fine !
I clicked on it and will subscribe now :D
I rarely say this….
You’re super underrated dude. You will get the rewards of your hard work soon.
I appreciate that, thanks!
Nice. Love the different options given based on budget 👍👍👍
Thanks, it's super fun to see what you can achieve!
That’s great, it proves that you don’t need a huge budget to make it. There are 0 excuses! Great video

Surprised this video isn’t performing better. It’s really great.
You didn’t talk about the light in the background like how you set it up to make the stand pop out
Yo this is a really solid video man! Keep going with RUclips, you're gonna make it big.
Really cool video bro 💜
Thanks!
What the actual hell with the subscribers and activity here. You deserve way more!
Let me tell you something! Let me tell you something! I had to open this video after the white board situation! Loved it 😂

You were amazing! What happened to you? Come back please.
So, show a clip of you filming under each setup.
best idea
🙂
Dude... This is amazing... What.. epic
What do you think of the NEEWER 700W Equivalent Softbox Lighting Kit?
my bed room is painted red, so should I paint it?
I have a problem. I turn off all my room lights, and i turn on my key light, which is a softbox, but the background is too bright, i want more of a darker background, like you showed in this video. How do i manage to do this? Thanks!
Love the content! Keep it coming :)
You are hired!

bro you at least have an expensive camera.
So its not a $5 setup if you are using a camera over $5
You should have a house or appartmant,not just a room studio honey.
Thanks 🙏❤
