@@drhamham1 Agreed. And we have to have gear to make video. But sometimes we lose sight of some of the more practical things - problems which can be solved with non-electronic solutions.
If you're using traditional velcro, give some thought as to which side goes on what. I always use the "soft" loop side on objects that may get stuffed into a bag so it won't snag the bag or snag other objects in the bag. I always use the "crunchy" hard hook side on the furniture or walls or frame elements.
Dude the sound blanket difference with Caleb was actually a REALLY nice plug for sound blankets. Sound difference with just an in-camera mic was amazing
Oh Gerald... I love how you managed to make it... to put all this wonderful youtubers to share their advice... this is AWESOME!!! Thank you soooooooo much! "Hi I'm Gerald Undone, and no one else travels over Storyblocks like me!"
Hi Gerald. All these tips are amazing. I have so much to learn, but appreciate channels like yours that give away all the good info. Sound blankets are going to be the first thing I buy. In fact, I think my oldish camera is the last thing I need to upgrade.
This was great... Soo many creator that I follow makes me soo happy to see them together on collabs like this. And I don't know about you but as soon as I hear "give me about 15 min" I get all excited 😁😁😁 Love that work that you all do. Bright side of all this negative time is that so many creator are reaching out and working together making the community better and stronger. I am just happy I can see it happen.
Here is one all the way from Dubai: " I am Gerald Undone and I inspire by being normal". It is a compliment really, but could also double as an opener. Cheers Gerald.
So many amazing tips! These tips will help me make a quicker change than anything else to my studio: the one about the background (thanks Becki) and the sound blankets (my audio has so much echo right now 😬) and the one about practicals. I started doing that for my last video and it made such a huge difference!
Awesome! I love these “tip” videos, that you’ve been doing. And… it was a pleasant surprise to see, that you’re friends, with some of the other TH-camrs, that I watch. Too cool!
i am trying so bad for 2 years now to setup a small home studio setup in my 1 room bedroom .. but struggling so bad to do it. This video is a masterlass in utself and give the most valuable tips in 1 video .. want more videos on home studio setup video like this 🧨🔥
I'm glad the travel stock footage is still a thing but slightly disappointed you weren't all wet when it cut back to you. You're really breaking the immersion. Also: it's surprisingly comforting to see everyone's haircut become a distant memory, like a half forgotten dream.
OMG! Most organized space I've ever seen!! Thanks for all the great tips, Gerald. There is more value from your channel than any other I've visited. Thanks so much. :-)
Dude, this video is awesome! Great collaboration. I watch all these guys and it was awesome to see everyone in one place. We need more of these types of videos!!!
Brother you never fail to impress. Every one of these creative geniuses make my day and you packed them into one video! I share your work with all my creatives and your ideas are on point! Thanks for giving me a break from my Covid 19 isolation 🤣
I use the wall tip, except I ceiling mount using a baby wall plate and good drywall screws. At one point I used a podium mic mount base with a mic stand boom arm to place my shotgun over my desk for the live stream studio. I use Velcro, but I also love the Nite Ize gear ties. I also built a crazy thing on wheels out of wood which I attach all kinds of useful stuff to. I'll probably feature it at some point in a video. I have painted the wall a complementary color to my skin before, but I just painted a wall for my new DT studio just a few days ago.
Some very valid tips there. I'm currently working on the organisation one. Being at home a lot this is frustrating me more Haha. Cool collabs in there dude.
Such high quality content. Always inspiring and much appreciated. Love how you don't feel obligated to mix a music bed under the entire duration of the show. GREAT job. Thanks!
Great stuff! Completely agree with everything, also something I try and do for my main channel is create multiple sets in my 3m X 4m space. It's tough but as someone with a disability it's a lot easier to move the camera to two or three areas of your space than try and create different scenes with the one angle. Plus a table on wheels is crazy useful, especially if you can create different 'tops' for it. I use mainly different coloured foamboard but also threw together a rustic vibe by screwing together some pieces of pallet wood. Everything can be easily stored and you can drastically change the feel of a shot really quickly.
Great advice from some of my favorite channels! If you _really_ want your stuff to not go anywhere, use dual lock instead of velcro. SJ3550 on one side and SJ3551 on the other give the strongest hold.
I do like your table on this set now, Gerald - when at fullscreen the corner line perspective at the bottom - on the left side of the screen is exactly on my corner window of my display - but on the right is just a little short. Not sure if that can be fixed but things like that make it a real solid design for framing.
I realize this video is a year old but it just popped up on my screen and some great tips for sure. I’ve seen multiple videos by great creators touting acoustic treatment by way of sound blankets and while they can be a life saver in a pinch, that can be used poorly and, in both Caleb and Curtis’s examples, it sounds like they’ve gone sound blanket crazy and sucked all the life out of their voices, leaving them muddy and kind of flat. No matter how good the sound blanket, they are best at trapping high frequencies so the low-mid and low frequency energy just passes through and reverberates through the entire space. So, my advice would be to treat your lower frequencies first. I’m not a huge fan of foam bass traps like the Auralex Lenrd traps for critical listening spaces, but for controlling frequencies in the lower range of the human voice, they’ll work well enough. Fill the four corners of your studio with them. They’ll not only absorb some of those lower frequencies that muddy up the voices, they’ll also absorb some of the higher frequencies due to the porous nature of the material. With these, you might not need much else, depending your space. They also mount on the wall, out of the way as opposed to being hung on c-stands that can get in the way, particularly in smaller spaces.
Amazing tips here, great video thank you all of you guys ! If I can share one : buy gaffer if you don't already have some. This is sooo useful you can't ever imagine! Hiding cables, wrap up cables to store them or put them to bags, attach small LED lights, etc.
Great stuff that applies to ALL channels, budget to pro! I'll be getting more clips, velcro, and a grey card. I'll be looking into sound treatment as well. Clever way to segue into your Storyblocks sponsorship.
This is great advice! My band is moving into a new studio space (I know, bad timing...), and we are definitely gonna take some of this advice to get things set up well.
Man, love it all! Honored to have Curtis as my co-sound blanket recommender. Also... iPhonedo... That guy is the best!
🙌🏻
Caleb!!! I love your work so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
All sorts of great tips here! Interesting that not one of them was, "Buy a new camera, lens, microphone."
If people weren't in the market for new products, you'd lose some traffic ;)
Exactly. Thank you Curtis for your honesty!!!
@@drhamham1 Agreed. And we have to have gear to make video. But sometimes we lose sight of some of the more practical things - problems which can be solved with non-electronic solutions.
@@twosheafilms 👍
@@curtisjudd I agree on this one, its one of my goals
There are more TH-cam superheroes in your videos than Avengers: Endgame.
If you're using traditional velcro, give some thought as to which side goes on what. I always use the "soft" loop side on objects that may get stuffed into a bag so it won't snag the bag or snag other objects in the bag. I always use the "crunchy" hard hook side on the furniture or walls or frame elements.
Definitely! I have had that happen many times.
So many good tips!! Thanks for having me!
Becki and Chris the suggestions you offered were FANTASTIC Becki, thanks for that. 👍🏼
Loved this video. It’s fantastic to see you bringing other creatives together like this. Do it again! 🙌🏼
That boom arm on a stand is genius! I'm setting this up immediately
The Velcro Industry: "What happened in April that caused such a spike in sales numbers?"
Intern: "We got Undone"
💯💜👍
Totally was waiting for Camera Conspiracies to make an appearance... still an amazing video! Great work on this everyone!
Dude the sound blanket difference with Caleb was actually a REALLY nice plug for sound blankets. Sound difference with just an in-camera mic was amazing
Gerald undone has now officially collaborated with all my favorite TH-cam channels. I must be the target audience.
This is like the frickin All Star game! All my favorites in one video
I don't think there's anyone better to explain sound than Curtis 👌🏽
Thanks nazhif1!
Holy crap! Josh explaining how practicals are actually supposed to work is blowing my mind! 🤯🤯🤯This is your best group collab video to date Gerald!
Oh Gerald... I love how you managed to make it... to put all this wonderful youtubers to share their advice... this is AWESOME!!!
Thank you soooooooo much!
"Hi I'm Gerald Undone, and no one else travels over Storyblocks like me!"

The white balance card stand-in is freaking genius. Will definitely steal that idea!
Please bring up more of these! Improving home studio videos are so helpful! Best regards from Germany! Stay healthy!
This is the most practical production video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you to all of your collaborators. Great job, Gerald.
That look tho haha 12:29
iPhonedo glad he’s got you on the payroll.
Abi seni burda görünce nasıl sevindim anlatamam 💕
Great lineup of guests. They are all my favorites. (And you, of course.)
Fascinating to hear the echo in the first 2 guest spaces! Great video.
This was great... Soo many creator that I follow makes me soo happy to see them together on collabs like this.

I love the deep, resonant isolated quality of your sound. Great job!
Thanks so much!
such a great video !
so good to see the perspective of so many creators
Here is one all the way from Dubai: " I am Gerald Undone and I inspire by being normal". It is a compliment really, but could also double as an opener. Cheers Gerald.
Exactly the video I was looking for. Always room to improve my TH-cam studio!
Thanks
Excellent collection of tips. Great to see all the top video guys on TH-cam contributing here all in one place.
I used the same lights and same area, just changed it around and it level up my production by miles.
Definitely Caleb is the best with light, his videos looks so smooth
Thanks, Gerald Undone! Great tips! I love the grey card ideas!
Thumbs up for Curtis Judd! You two are best on YT in terms of accuracy, reviews, testing and bad-ass-ness!
Absolutely love that you had a bunch of other youtubers on this one.

Wow such awesomeness! And I stand by 30fps as the superior option 🤣
I laughed pretty hard at Gerald's lead-in for you. I was hoping I'd see a comment here from someone who knew the inside joke.
24p is the future!
Lol
Bro - the fact that you did this is perfect
yo, Gerald, you always kill it, but lately i been really diggin your vids, thank you for these, the colabs with other creators is just awesome
Thanks for having me along Gerald! Sorry for making you venture under the south pacific, I hope the sharks didn't bother you.
You play hard to get, Tommy. 😉
Where did you get the wall mounts from for the lights?
You’re my hero Tommy and I’m allll over some Manfrotto QRPs! Got like 20 of them just like you.
Cable management is huge. Velcro for the win!
Awesome! I love these “tip” videos, that you’ve been doing. And… it was a pleasant surprise to see, that you’re friends, with some of the other TH-camrs, that I watch. Too cool!
Your comments at the end are very insightful. Thank you.

Jesus, this video and editing between everyone was so good! And great info!!! Thank you so much!
All the tips in this video are 110% spot-on. So good. (makes chef-kiss motion)
OMG! Most organized space I've ever seen!! Thanks for all the great tips, Gerald. There is more value from your channel than any other I've visited. Thanks so much. :-)
I use those same manfrotto plates! And I’m a noob! Happy to stumble into something wise every once in a while!
How do we mount the lights on the wall?
This is full of great info, well done! Really fun to see so many awesome channels sharing tips in one place 👍
Great tips Gerald! Great job on bringing so many creators together to share their insights!
Iphonedo's intro was just SOOO GOOD!! Love that guy!
Awesome job. I'm really glad you're still making content during this stuff. I had no idea that wasn't you in the water!
Dude, this video is awesome! Great collaboration. I watch all these guys and it was awesome to see everyone in one place. We need more of these types of videos!!!

This is one of the most useful videos that I've seen on TH-cam. Too good.
love it. you've really stepped your game up recently. Inspired to see you taking action and creating quality valuable content! Good on ya.

At 22 seconds, I paused to compliment Gerald on having one of the shortest intro b-rolls I've seen. It works great. That is my first take away tip.
Some very valid tips there. I'm currently working on the organisation one. Being at home a lot this is frustrating me more Haha. Cool collabs in there dude.
Gerald, quirky works. Message delivered. Good job!
The wall mounts and wheels idea was genius. Where are the wall mounts from?
Glad to see Curtis on the video! Nice tips, keep them up!

All of my cameras are (or have been at some point) covered in velcro... so great for holding on cables, and temporary info plates, etc.
Wow so many fantastic advices ! It's the 3rd clip of your channel I'm watching, you're the best (photo TH-camr), I've subscribed.
What an all-star cameo extravaganza. Loved it
GREAT TIPS! Best advice summed up: "It's a marathon, not a sprint." BTW...NOTHING beats Battlestar Galactica! 😎
Indeed... I think you were the only of my favorites who was missing from this!
Great advice from some of my favorite channels! If you _really_ want your stuff to not go anywhere, use dual lock instead of velcro. SJ3550 on one side and SJ3551 on the other give the strongest hold.
“I’m a very emotional person. I like flowers, and poetry, and shit!”
Best quote of the vid.
Amazing video! Stunning studio sets from everyone!
that was really helpful, great work in putting this together, Im going to buy more velcro right now. great sound advice and lighting examples
This may be the best video on studio spaces I'v seen period!!
I'm all about that sound blanket life. 🔊
Also, is that last shot SERIOUSLY ON STORYBLOCKS?! 😂😂
Haha. It totally is. I found it while searching for the diving shots and new I had to include it. Too funny!

Love this video. Great tips and awesome that you included these other creators.
I’ve been watching all these people for over a year now and for you to so cleverly tie them all into one video Gerald... 🤯🤯🤯
What an epic collab with all my favourite filmmaking creators! Gonna check out the individual vids now. 🍿🍿🍿
Great tips and loved all the special guests!

This is the video I was looking for as I'm kicking myself in the butt to get back in to creating videos
Definitely never realized how functional velcro could be. Need those velcro strips delivered to me ASAP!
I felt like you were talking directly to me in your closing statement. Great video, fantastic advice!
