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!
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.
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.
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!♡♡♡♡♡
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 ;-)
*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?
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* !!!
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.
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.
"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
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
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.
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...
Nice Video. This is how you do it. One thing i strugle with is removing dust in post. Of course you look out to have everything clean when you press record, but ever so often you discover after some single pieces of dust. Any advices how to effectivley remove these in post?
Great video with lots of examples. I like the post processing tip on having multiple “layers” of lights to play with. One thing I wonder is whether the reflections would look better without a grid on the key light. It seems like you have the space to where a grid isn’t really important for controlling spill as much, so I would think the smoother reflections would be a better trade off.
for bigger objects you just scale up the setup. For example instead of a softbox overhead you could use a 6x6 silk with a bigger light shooting through it.

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
Yes, perfect! Even though the channel has changed, you still haven’t lost your magic!
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.
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.

@@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!

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.
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?
They don't know enough to know what they don't know. Trust the professionals making the video, its budget.
These are the headphones I use on my shiddy podcast setup! Dead-ass I love them.
Love the practical details. Keep it up!

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 ...
Thank You for picking up the Indy Mogul ball and running with it. You've been great.
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😉
Used these exact techniques to shoot some promotional stuff last week! Great stuff. Keep it up guys.
Noah Goodman-Claire too
Teds energy is always worth the watch
Absolutely loving this video please please please do more like this, product photography and fashion photography
Love the conversation at 11:23 :)

Me - “They said all I need is a black wall!” 😂
This was awesome. I'm gonna have to use these techniques with products around the house to play with my new *used* Sony A7.
That was Dope!!🤘.. Thx Guys😊✌
Not at all on a budget, but still very valuable content. Thanks to the photographer for all the tips ✌️

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.
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.

Awesome video again. Such a great job sharing the experience of real professionals. Thanks a lot!
I've made a product turntable from an old record player works a treat! Cheers John
What a great idea!
I love the change of lights

Great episode. Justin always give great advice and insight.
This video was pure gold! Thanks for sharing this
Great video guys. Good to see the process of tinkering to get the right shots.
Epic! Suuuuuuper helpful and informative!
Thank goodness they cleaned the black acrylic. It was killing me being so dirty.
Excellent topic and tips. Perfect timing as I was just looking to add something like this to a project I am working on.
Awesome tutorial. 😊🙌🙌
Justin Jones dp 👍👍 ,Indy mogul thank you for the video ...is that an optical flare before the zoomin shot ..
I absolutely went shopping for motorized lazy Susans after watching this 👍
Did you find one specifically like the one used in this video?
THANK YOU! so well explained, easy and yet detailed information. SUPER
Indy bro you just got a new subscriber! Keep going my man!
Thank u for this information

Nice work, now i want to work out a good cheap turntable...
I don't even do videos but I find this stuff fascinating
Lol haha im here because my friend told me to make a short introduction about their products. By the way well detailed tutorial thank you.
very good tutorial. thanx a lot sir
*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?
Great video, great tips! I take it they are cordless headphones? If not, how did you hide the cable?
Very educational. Now I just need the gear and a gigantic studio!
I have the set of headphones in this video. They're amazing.
Justo lo que estaba buscando!
That final edit is SICK! Really cool vibe for basic cheap headphones haha
Thanks for sharing! I tried ideas in the video and it really works!
Nice work seeing how the pros make it look easy. Cant be experience.Learned a lot thanks
Great video👍
Coool. What spotlight did you use?
what did you use to record slow motion on a canon?
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.

for bigger objects you just scale up the setup. For example instead of a softbox overhead you could use a 6x6 silk with a bigger light shooting through it.
