tbh, all of that set up costs arround 2k, which is very accessible by most that have the basic skills required and some infrequent clients. Its not like you are buying them to play with for a week and then sell them for half the price. It maybe expensive or out of reach, if you dont believe in it enough, to go through the trouble of finding/earning/grinding for the necessary funds, to purchase the most basic stuff for commercial videography. Btw, crop sensor cameras might actually be better for products, as you want more dof, than less
@@atistiltins6163 Not really, the camera and lens alone costs over 2k if you buy it new. With that being said, you can use the methods in this video without using the same equipment!
Bro he said smoke was xtra. Just bring your vape friend if you cant rent a machine. Don't tell me you can't hang lights without a c stand. Either way, the info in this video is dynamite.
Yalll low budget does not mean "how to do it for free." Sometimes you need to make an investment for the final result, especially when working with clients. Most of the items mentioned can be replicated using household items, like using your phone to film or black fabric instead of a black wall - It's about being resourceful. Thank you Indy Mogul!! Helpful video as always
Yeah but low budget also doesn't mean a Canon 6D Mark II, expensive-ass lenses, c-stands and huge lights, a spinner and so on. The advice is nice but at the end of the day, they didn't SHOW how to do it with a low budget. They just told us how to do it with a low budget and proceeded to make a commercial with a mid-range budget.
Despite a lot of people whining about the "budget theme" & stuff, i think they really demonstrate a great example of the shooting concept they're doing and trying to explain. Some stuff might not be that "budget" but it's just a concept, be creative and try to find a way to replicate what they do! Thats what its all about in the end right?
Other than, the consciousness of dust presence, this was Super inspiring! Loved every moment of coming to know the techniques and demonstrations outlined. Thank you for this tutorial!♡♡♡♡♡
I love this idea! he is just inaccurate about the shutter speed vs the frame rate, 1/60th of a sec (natural motion blur) is 180 deg at 30fps and 360deg at 60fps, 180deg shutter at 60 Fps is 1/120th of a sec, half the motion blur of 1/60th additionally, at 240fps at 360deg shutter the shutter speed is 1/240th of a sec, truth is last thing you want when shooting slow motion at any frame rate is motion blur, that's real-time stuff.
I use action cameras for everything, I have $440 dollars invested in my rig, my adverts will have over a million hits this year. No shutter speed, Fstops nada, just Fotor and Canva, both free. I know a lot of gear freaks who don't sell jack squat.
The amount of success u can get with this kind of skills..... You could potentially upsell this to high end clients who'd pay LOTS, this is so awesome. I can't believe this was done for fun when there are actual professionals who struggle with it as their day job. Just, amazing.
That was FANTASTIC! I did my first product shoot at the home studio two years ago, andf it presents challenge you never think of when shooting people. That said, the MOSt important takeways are what is presented in this video. YOU NEED SPACE. You need the hardware. And you need HELP. As a solo photographer from NYC, land of the attitude and dog eat dog mentality, if you dont have help, you better be superman. TBH, I'm having trouble right now with studio shoots, because having a (convenient!!) space is just so critical, and they costs will add up very quickly. But again..space, space, space...If you dont have it, you're not able to do the work, period.
Love the conversation at 11:23 :) Guy1: You can go a little more back. Guy2: ... a little more back. Guy1: If you give it a little moodier. Guy2: ... if you give it a little moodier. Guy1: That looks great dude! Guy2: ...that looks great as it is.
Thank you Justin, and you too Ted. That was most likely the most valuable and informative tutorial I have seen on youtube. It is most definitely film school quality. I hope your viewers realize how lucky they are to be getting this type of content for free.
Indy Mogul, I have learned so much from you guys back in like 2011 or something when i was new in the game. Just saw this video pop up today. Thanks a lot for all the free knowledge.
Thank you so much for making these videos. They motivate me to starting my own business. Signing up fro film school for videographer. Keep up the great work even though this is 3 years ago lol
"We gonna do this from scratch"... brings out a Canon 6d Mark II... I mean if you don't want it... I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Your low budget is my high end XD
Wanna point out the comment about the C stand in the video - you can rig a light over things regardless of the stand. It's what you stick on the stand that matters. C stands are just heavier duty by default.
That's so helpful. On the lazy susan, what we did once was, sink a nut in a piece of wood and attach it to a spare tripod and have someone rotate the tripod ;-)
Would love to know his preferred method of propping up products that wouldn't normally stand up. I've tried museum wax, but depending on the weight, it's just really difficult to keep certain things propped - especially on these motorized tables. Thoughts?
Plus one for that. I have tried fishing line to hold something in mid-air, plus blu-tack to hold round things (pet toys mostly!) in place.If it's spinning round though, you can see the thing propping it up...
I challenge you guys do the same clip again but buy/use all the gear from household items or ikea/target/walmart. Aka, lamps, grids, light softeners, platform, etc. Then we can talk about budget version :) For camera - mobile phone! After all, the light is the key.
You could also use a black cardbaord and a transparent sheet of plastic on top, is doesnt look as good but is more budget friendly and easier to find and try it out
To be fair, many of us don’t have a perfectly black wall 15 ft away. Sure we can probably take a huge light by bringing a small one closer but still :/ Can you guys suggest an ultra budget setup?
a black photography background should be like $10 when i want a solid backdrop for taking photos, i hang my blue bed sheets from my closet, by closing the door around the sheets. yall don't need a fancy 7000 square foot studio to get these shots. I also use a flashlight with a plastic diffuser for accent lighting. a lot of comments about the expensive gear they used but it doesn't have to be expensive.
whaaw great learnings ...realy uplifting my mood after seen to much video's on R5 and S5 's.. leaving me thinking i have to update my GH5 .. comes this dude with an Canon 5DII and amazes everybody :D *well done sir* !!!
Completely unrelated but I love my One odio headphones, my ones cost about £45 (not their cheapest ones) but I use them for almost all of my audio work
Any hint on how to control the dust on the acrylic? I just shot a similar commercial with sunglasses and couldn't get that dust removed from the glasses, no matter how hard I tried. :D
*This is GREAT!* Exactly what I need for my videos...thanks 1M guys.. 👍👍👍 Anyone recommend a good place to pickup that hi-gloss acrylic black? Your looks like a 3ftx4ft sheet perhaps?
I'll be sending this to some video production people I know. On another note, the man said you don't need fancy setups, or a studio, nothing like that. But I'd like to say that you definitely need extra stuff to shoot this. I don't know anyone, whether corporate office or rich person's house, or regular home, no one I know has a black wall. You can literally only find those in a studio, and even then you might not find a black wall. So you'll definitely need to prep a way to get a black bkgd, either with thick black sheets, a previously painted wooden panel, black curtains, or similar. Otherwise you'll be going to a business and be like, "There's nothing black here!"
INDY MOGULLLLLLLLLL!!!! Love you guys and this is a great video. I finally figured out how to view those channels I subscribed to all those years ago using the new TH-cam Studio Beta. Glad i found this video so i can try it with my hobby shop products. Thank you from Monster Hobbies in High River, Alberta, Canada.
Ironically, I'm shooting 4 ads for a headphone company this month, one of which is gonna be a product ad just like this. Perfect timing guys!
AronBagel don’t you love when that happens?
Ironic is when there is a contradiction like an ambulance crashing into savilyons
you are getting 4 gigs from companies and you dont know such simple workflows ?
@@erikkrakauskas1239 LOL, yeah he meant "Coincidentally". I do this all the time.
Lucky you. Pick your pen up and write down the tips
How to film a commercial with zero budget... "pulls out huge light"
Ikr.. And a full frame camera too.
Need lights...no way around it. Get some Home Depot lights or rent if you can't buy production stuff.
tbh, all of that set up costs arround 2k, which is very accessible by most that have the basic skills required and some infrequent clients. Its not like you are buying them to play with for a week and then sell them for half the price.

@@atistiltins6163 Not really, the camera and lens alone costs over 2k if you buy it new. With that being said, you can use the methods in this video without using the same equipment!
@@JohnSoh No! Never use Home Depot lights. Using work lights almost always creates unwanted wavy lines!
Yes, perfect! Even though the channel has changed, you still haven’t lost your magic!
This Video:
"Shoot products without budget"
Me:
"Why dafuq r u using pro lights, C-Stands and a smoke machine?!"
Bro he said smoke was xtra. Just bring your vape friend if you cant rent a machine. Don't tell me you can't hang lights without a c stand. Either way, the info in this video is dynamite.
For real, used vape as a fog machine before, it'll get the job done! As for lights, home depot work lights work great when you are starting out!
Just the camera they are using is not a budget camera hahaha
@@Fr1tO.O for another budget reason just use your mom phones camera or your phone as camera
since phone camera nowdays is as good as pro cam
you should already have invested in lights. they dont have to be expensive, but if you havent bout any at all, you cant be that serious to begin with.
Yalll low budget does not mean "how to do it for free." Sometimes you need to make an investment for the final result, especially when working with clients.

They don't know enough to know what they don't know. Trust the professionals making the video, its budget.
How to film a commercial with zero budget... "Pulls out a $1,400 Canon 6D MK2, Pro lights and a Giant warehouse to shoot in"
And don't forget the lens that is equally or even more expensive than the camera xaxaxaxa
@@nikolas_stratigos I crack up at all the click bait on youtube now.
"A Budget" ≠ "No/Zero Budget"
The assumption is that you already own the basics. All these items are basic and no higher than intermediate.
ikr ...
Other than, the consciousness of dust presence, this was Super inspiring! Loved every moment of coming to know the techniques and demonstrations outlined. Thank you for this tutorial!♡♡♡♡♡
These are the headphones I use on my shiddy podcast setup! Dead-ass I love them.
Love the practical details. Keep it up!

Well your getting into specialized shooting there most people are not experienced with shooting "Real slow motion"
I have some advice for you: don't give your secrets away unless your getting paid. because dude your stuff looks amazing.
Where is he wrong? he used a shutter speed of 1/120th while shooting 60fps. The shutter is open half the time, even when the footage is slowed down.
@@robinte98 Shutter speed vs shutter angle.

Not at all on a budget, but still very valuable content. Thanks to the photographer for all the tips ✌️
Used these exact techniques to shoot some promotional stuff last week! Great stuff. Keep it up guys.
Noah Goodman-Claire too

Amazing content zero budget commercial mind-blowing and Justin Jones is one of the best DP in the game kudos to you both Mogul and jones

A camera spinner on a budget: take out the plate and wheels out of the microwave... and don't forget to thank me😉
Very cool! I like hearing someone professional talk through their process and explaining even the basic things.
Absolutely loving this video please please please do more like this, product photography and fashion photography
Thank goodness they cleaned the black acrylic. It was killing me being so dirty.
Super helpful and informative! Thanks Ted and Justin! Will incorporate some of these into my videos. 👍
This was awesome. I'm gonna have to use these techniques with products around the house to play with my new *used* Sony A7.
Indy Mogul, I have learned so much from you guys back in like 2011 or something when i was new in the game. Just saw this video pop up today. Thanks a lot for all the free knowledge.
* Starts painting my walls black *
Mum - “What are you doing?!?!”
Me - “They said all I need is a black wall!” 😂
Very educational. Now I just need the gear and a gigantic studio!
Great episode. Justin always give great advice and insight.
Teds energy is always worth the watch
That was Dope!!🤘.. Thx Guys😊✌
Epic! Suuuuuuper helpful and informative!
I've made a product turntable from an old record player works a treat! Cheers John
What a great idea!
Indy bro you just got a new subscriber! Keep going my man!
This video was pure gold! Thanks for sharing this
Great video. Brief and chocked full of good ideas for filming products. Thanks.
I love the change of lights
Awesome video again. Such a great job sharing the experience of real professionals. Thanks a lot!

First time i watch your video man i was amaze..and helpful to get idea...😊😊keep it going man salute👍
I absolutely went shopping for motorized lazy Susans after watching this 👍
Did you find one specifically like the one used in this video?
That's so helpful. On the lazy susan, what we did once was, sink a nut in a piece of wood and attach it to a spare tripod and have someone rotate the tripod ;-)
Great video guys. Good to see the process of tinkering to get the right shots.
Nice work, now i want to work out a good cheap turntable...
Thank u for this information
Justin is a boss as his job
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have the set of headphones in this video. They're amazing.

Justin Jones dp 👍👍 ,Indy mogul thank you for the video ...is that an optical flare before the zoomin shot ..
First problem. Locating black acrylic. I can’t find this stuff anywhere. Any suggestions for ordering online?
As much as I hate to support amazon, they're probably the easiest place to find this
You could also use a black cardbaord and a transparent sheet of plastic on top, is doesnt look as good but is more budget friendly and easier to find and try it out
use car window glass film !
@@AnSweetPrincess or use pc case acrylyc if you have pc that had RGB setup
I got mine from the hardware store.
Great Video on lights! Love that red
which lens was used ??
Awesome tutorial. 😊🙌🙌
Great stuff!!! Thank you.
You guys are amazing! Thanks a lot 👍🏼
Another killer episode.
"You're going to shoot with this"
"No way"
*pulls 6D*
Aight imma head out
This would be a great video to revisit using highly reflective products, but this video still had some great take aways.
very very good video, many explanations, this is very rich for anyone starting product videos ! Good job guys
Thanks guys! Appreciate this much!
Pro tips here! Thanks 👍
13:27 Going for the aggressive vibe and then going for crossfading between clips kinda doesn't fit I feel personally
This was a great video! Very hands on, practical application. Thanks a bunch!
To be fair, many of us don’t have a perfectly black wall 15 ft away. Sure we can probably take a huge light by bringing a small one closer but still :/
Can you guys suggest an ultra budget setup?
I shoot it with a black blanket. Check the video it on my channel 😋
Very helpful, great breakdown and questions asked throughout
very good tutorial. thanx a lot sir
Coool. What spotlight did you use?
a black photography background should be like $10
when i want a solid backdrop for taking photos, i hang my blue bed sheets from my closet, by closing the door around the sheets. yall don't need a fancy 7000 square foot studio to get these shots.

leaving me thinking i have to update my GH5 .. comes this dude with an Canon 5DII and amazes everybody :D *well done sir* !!!
If you are shooting a BLACK product, what is the ideal setup. Would a mirror work instead of black acrylic?
Jawbrace yes a mirror would work great, or even a reflective white!
Completely unrelated but I love my One odio headphones, my ones cost about £45 (not their cheapest ones) but I use them for almost all of my audio work
Great video! Would love to have seen a comparison with the footage you guys (appear to have?) shot on the BMPCC4k, seen briefly at the start.
