1
1
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:02,090
We're in my studio now, and I'm gonna
2
2
00:00:02,090 --> 00:00:04,110
teach you how to soundproof a room.
3
3
00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:07,360
So what I recommend doing is buying these products here,
4
4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,570
if you want to have a dedicated studio.
5
5
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:10,810
And you just peel off the back
6
6
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:13,000
and you stick them on the wall.
7
7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,620
I have them all over the ceiling as well,
8
8
00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:17,970
so I'm gonna scroll up and show you my ceiling.
9
9
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:21,920
And I've got these big metal bars in the ceiling as well,
10
10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,690
just so I can hang cameras and lights down from them.
11
11
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:26,740
But you can use plastic pvc piping
12
12
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:27,820
if you want, it's a lot cheaper.
13
13
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:29,880
So I stuck all that stuff on the ceiling
14
14
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,653
and I've also got it on the side.
15
15
00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:36,160
If you're curious, I'm using my iPhone
16
16
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,450
to record this in my Osmo 2 gimbal.
17
17
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,780
Okay, and so sorry about the lighting over there,
18
18
00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:43,310
it's not optimized, but on the wall
19
19
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:45,700
you can see I've got a lot of tiles there as well.
20
20
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:47,520
You don't have to put them everywhere,
21
21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,010
just make sure that there's enough of them
22
22
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:52,000
so that the echo in the room is better,
23
23
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,465
or actually decreased, I should say.
24
24
00:00:54,465 --> 00:00:58,500
You'll notice that the acoustics in this room are excellent.
25
25
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,010
I'm not modifying the audio at all in post-production.
26
26
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:04,740
And by the way, I'm wearing my lavalier here
27
27
00:01:04,740 --> 00:01:09,620
with my H1 Zoom, H1N Zoom recorder, which is awesome.
28
28
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:12,870
Now, in terms of other stuff in this room,
29
29
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:14,880
this is not a videography course but
30
30
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,880
I want to show you the lighting quickly.
31
31
00:01:17,846 --> 00:01:20,410
This rear light here, you could use a lamp behind you
32
32
00:01:20,410 --> 00:01:23,180
if you want to as well, on the ground
33
33
00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:25,840
like we explained earlier in the course.
34
34
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,590
And also right here, that's my key light.
35
35
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,230
That's the brightest one, and over here
36
36
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:37,150
is the fill light up there, okay.
37
37
00:01:37,150 --> 00:01:40,440
So in terms of the, oh I've got one more light here too.
38
38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,430
So it's a light, and I'll provide you a link to this one,
39
39
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:45,860
it's by a company called GVM, which stands for
40
40
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:49,610
Great Video Maker, and I've got in color here
41
41
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:53,450
to just add a nice blue pop to the background.
42
42
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:54,700
All that stuff on the ceiling is
43
43
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:55,640
beyond the scope of this course,
44
44
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,540
but those are just different background colors
45
45
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:01,370
that I can drag down, or I can pull down like curtains.
46
46
00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:04,210
Now the back here, I'm all blue now.
47
47
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:07,180
Look like a Smurf or Schtroumpf as you say in Europe.
48
48
00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:10,590
The back here is, this I just bought from Home Depot,
49
49
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:12,603
big hardware store here in America.
50
50
00:02:13,485 --> 00:02:16,210
I think it's like 20 bucks per panel or something like that.
51
51
00:02:16,210 --> 00:02:18,290
And they're 8 foot by 4 foot, and I just
52
52
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:20,650
nailed them to the wall there so it looks like a brick wall,
53
53
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:22,400
but it's just a piece of cardboard.
54
54
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:27,010
And so in terms of other things I want to show you,
55
55
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:29,250
oh, my kids love this game Fortnite,
56
56
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,200
it's driving us crazy at my house here,
57
57
00:02:32,433 --> 00:02:34,610
and I wanna show you how we kind of
58
58
00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:36,570
blocked the noise from exiting
59
59
00:02:36,570 --> 00:02:37,910
the Fortnite room, or the living room,
60
60
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:39,470
whatever, so that the rest of the house
61
61
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:41,210
doesn't hear Fortnite all the time.
62
62
00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:43,210
And before I jump outside and show you,
63
63
00:02:43,210 --> 00:02:45,370
I've got these curtains here too.
64
64
00:02:45,370 --> 00:02:47,240
So if you don't have a dedicated studio room
65
65
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,610
or you're just getting started, you can buy these
66
66
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:52,440
curtains on Amazon, which block the noise,
67
67
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,580
and they also block the light of course,
68
68
00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:57,830
and they're gray and the other side is black.
69
69
00:02:59,890 --> 00:03:03,240
Alternatively you can just put towels on the wall,
70
70
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,870
or blankets on the wall and a lot of furniture in the room.
71
71
00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:07,923
So let me walk outside with you here.
72
72
00:03:09,950 --> 00:03:11,890
Alright, keeping it real.
73
73
00:03:11,890 --> 00:03:15,840
It's a beautiful day here in California.
74
74
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,315
So I'll show you what I did with my kids,
75
75
00:03:19,315 --> 00:03:21,260
where they play Fortnite.
76
76
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:23,140
So I'm gonna keep it real, Matthew,
77
77
00:03:23,140 --> 00:03:25,620
he's going back to school tomorrow,
78
78
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:27,330
but he's playing right now, so he might
79
79
00:03:27,330 --> 00:03:28,680
make a little bit of noise.
80
80
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:31,020
There he is, there.
81
81
00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:31,995
Hi Matthew, I love you.
82
82
00:03:31,995 --> 00:03:33,230
Hi.
83
83
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:34,230
You playing Fortnite?
84
84
00:03:34,230 --> 00:03:35,063
Yeah.
85
85
00:03:35,063 --> 00:03:36,700
Oh, thought it was on a computer or something,
86
86
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,370
it's actually on an iPad.
87
87
00:03:38,370 --> 00:03:43,370
So, what we've done here is, it's kind of tricky to see but,
88
88
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:48,710
on the bottom of this door here, I've got a sweeper,
89
89
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:52,040
and I'll provide a link to one that you can purchase.
90
90
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
It's down here, and that blocks the noise
91
91
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,970
from going upstairs when they're playing their games.
92
92
00:03:57,970 --> 00:04:00,330
And let me just get down here so it works.
93
93
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:01,833
Sorry about the angle there.
94
94
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,580
Yeah, and so you just slide it on the door,
95
95
00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:05,700
and it blocks noise.
96
96
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,580
And what we also do is, and you can see
97
97
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:10,880
that the strip came down here.
98
98
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,793
Keeping it real.
99
99
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:15,710
But you put this, the weather strips,
100
100
00:04:15,710 --> 00:04:19,020
all the way around the door here, and this one came off.
101
101
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:21,520
It's on this side here, and we've
102
102
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,180
got it on another door here.
103
103
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:25,410
Years ago we used to Airbnb here so
104
104
00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:28,470
for security reasons we put up another door.
105
105
00:04:28,470 --> 00:04:31,020
And so this here is just a weather strip as well,
106
106
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,863
let me zoom up slightly.
107
107
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,280
Yeah, so we just stuck these here,
108
108
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:38,533
and it keeps almost all the noise out, which is great.
109
109
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,170
You can hear, by the way, a little side note,
110
110
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:44,483
you hear the echo, echo?
111
111
00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:47,230
Again to get rid of the echo,
112
112
00:04:47,230 --> 00:04:50,070
put more furniture in the room, put blankets on the wall,
113
113
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:52,120
or towels on the wall if you want.
114
114
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,810
And then as a last resort if you want to create a studio,
115
115
00:04:55,810 --> 00:04:59,080
what you can do is you can put those foam products
116
116
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680
that I showed you there on the wall.
117
117
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,550
So that's how you soundproof a room.
118
118
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:06,780
I'm gonna go back in now, and
119
119
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:10,240
I'm going to record the first lesson in the course.
120
120
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,580
We don't record these things in order,
121
121
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:15,120
so I always record the first lesson last,
122
122
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,010
only because I don't know what I'm gonna cover
123
123
00:05:17,010 --> 00:05:19,490
in the course, so it's tough to give an introduction
124
124
00:05:19,490 --> 00:05:21,620
to something that I don't know the contents.
125
125
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:22,570
Oh my god, I talk a lot.
126
126
00:05:22,570 --> 00:05:23,710
Okay, I'm going to stop now.
127
127
00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:25,910
If you have questions about the studio here,
128
128
00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:28,560
or how to soundproof, etc. or anything
129
129
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,800
with respect to setting up a great recording environment,
130
130
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,783
please let me know, and thanks as always.
