WEBVTT 00:00.540 --> 00:05.820 This video we just wanted to demonstrate what you can do in your own home office and really what I've 00:05.820 --> 00:09.220 chosen to do in my office where I shoot a lot. 00:09.360 --> 00:15.090 So you can see our set up and obviously we wouldn't be filming with a shot like this compose where you 00:15.090 --> 00:18.150 can see the lights and the microphone and the window and everything. 00:18.150 --> 00:23.580 And you've seen some other lessons in this class like that but it's a great set up because it's actually 00:23.640 --> 00:29.590 relatively cheap to do with the lighting we're just using paper lanterns that I purchased on Amazon. 00:29.610 --> 00:32.780 You can get a pack of 10 for less than $15. 00:32.940 --> 00:35.900 The light bulbs while these are more powerful light bulbs. 00:35.910 --> 00:39.260 They are still only 10 to $15 per bulb. 00:39.270 --> 00:44.430 You can even use some daylight balanced bulbs that you find at your local hardware store. 00:44.490 --> 00:49.920 You want to make sure that your light bulb temperature the warmth of your light bulb matches the light 00:49.920 --> 00:53.940 that's coming from outside especially if you're shooting during the day. 00:53.940 --> 00:59.880 Another thing I like about this room is that it has carpet so that automatically reduces the echo that 00:59.880 --> 01:04.130 I get from recording in a room with hard walls or a hard floor. 01:04.290 --> 01:10.200 Sometimes I'll even put blankets or hang blankets around the room to soften and dampen that echo even 01:10.200 --> 01:10.980 more. 01:10.980 --> 01:16.590 Right now I'm recording with the road and T.G. 3 boom or shotgun microphone which sounds really good. 01:16.590 --> 01:23.970 This is a more expensive shock and microphone you can get the road A.G. too which is a little bit cheaper 01:24.180 --> 01:30.480 or something like a lavalier microphone or if you're recording to your computer a USP microphone like 01:30.570 --> 01:34.400 the blue snowball is a great option in terms of my background. 01:34.410 --> 01:39.530 I really wanted to show off a bit of my personality but also keep it clean behind me. 01:39.540 --> 01:45.510 I've seen a lot of people record their blogs or their their online courses in their bedroom or you can 01:45.510 --> 01:51.570 see their bed unmade the clothes on the floor and that just looks bad and unprofessional. 01:51.720 --> 01:58.830 I designed my background to look good in video so I put up a couple pictures that I've taken and a poster 01:58.830 --> 02:05.370 I like when I do shoot wider shots you can see this dress or this shelf behind me and I have my typewriter 02:05.370 --> 02:07.560 and a couple old cameras on it. 02:07.560 --> 02:10.650 And this shows my personality and a little bit about myself. 02:10.680 --> 02:15.660 And if you do have a YouTube channel where you are the face of that channel showing off your personality 02:15.660 --> 02:17.640 with things in your background can help. 02:17.640 --> 02:22.170 The last thing I want to mention about this setup is it's great for recording with my web cam too. 02:22.170 --> 02:27.540 I'm going to be showing you how to shoot great videos with the web cam later on but with my Bakare drop 02:27.540 --> 02:33.180 I actually have a desk that is mobile that has wheels so I can move the desk and the webcam and the 02:33.180 --> 02:35.560 lights the whole set up forward and back. 02:35.580 --> 02:38.190 I want to get closer or further from the background. 02:38.310 --> 02:40.300 So it still looks good on the web cam. 02:40.530 --> 02:45.070 So I just wanted to share with you this setup because not only is it a set up that we're using in this 02:45.120 --> 02:51.530 course for a professional online video course but also set up that I use a lot for my own YouTube channel. 02:51.660 --> 02:52.380 Thanks for watching.
