Hi friends, wow thank you so much for all your interest in this video! 🙏 May I ask a favor? Would you mind taking this survey? thekevinshen.com/studio-survey
I want to learn how to best help you with future content, so hearing from you would be so helpful. Thank you so much, and sending much love my friends! :)
this is 2022 and i don't know how did i miss this video and the channel! what a humble quality of content! this guy is so creamy!
YOUR STORYTELLING IN THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME, VERY CLEAR AND SMOOTH CONTENT
space travel and time travel , love it
Awesome.
I’m not going to lie that background stopped me from changing the video while I was just checking out videos but I’m definitely a sub now love your videos bro can’t wait to start setting up mine
Wow that's so cool!! IT WORKED!! 😄Hahaha thank you man! Looking forward to seeing your studio - just subbed! 🙌
Thank you Kevin.
Sending you love from Africa!
I also quit my job at the end of 2019 to work on a project that would help small businesses grow to create more jobs to solve the alarming unemployment rates in my country - especially amongst the youth. (over 77% unemployed youths!) So I'm scouring the internet for great DIY videos like yours to learn how to build a studio and be able to film and record tutorials and podcasts from inspirational figures that can train and help the youth, your two videos on setting up a studio have been of great help. Thank YOU!
Oh man, you deserve bigger audience bro, lit content!!
Hey thanks so much!! Really appreciate the support :)
Lit, hehe
Your content is so good. Don’t give up with this TH-cam channel. You’ll make it soon
Thank you Anthony. I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear this today. Really appreciate you taking the time to make this guy’s day. Cheers my friend 🙏🏼👊🏼
Kevin Shen I know the struggle of being an entrepreneur. But a friend once told me
“I find a marathon runner more impressive than a sprinter. It’s the consistency of your habits that breeds success”
Just some food for thought. Keep at it. Stay focused. Your content is great man!
I’m thinking about starting a TH-cam channel of my own and your video really showed me how important building your studio is in bringing a more intimate environment for your audience. I was wondering if you could go over how you think about adding music to your videos? Like what where do you get your music, when should you be filling in your video with music, balance between voice and music audio levels etc. I hope your channel blows up! You really deserve it!
Hey thanks so much, Miguel! I'll keep that in mind. I appreciate that, brother! :)
Fantastic video series, very helpful!
Loved this video, the series is helping me alot for building my new set up. Also love when people take risks to follow their passion. Ill support you all the way!

you are so helpful! thank you so much!
Great video, thank you for sharing
Helped me a lot for my videos, thanks!
This was put together very well I’ve been on TH-cam for a year now and after watching your video I finally know how to use lights, what they are called for each position, where to place them and a few alternatives. I always thought everyone else has left out just enough info to keep you clueless or confused. Bravo 👏 for an informative video.
You just made my day, my friend. Thank you for the encouraging comment! :)
This is a very good video, keep the good work mate
I remember watching one of your videos a year ago, and I’m glad you’re still posting. Currently binge-watching the rest of your content, since we just moved and I want to reassess the vibe of my videos.
Thank you Victoria! 🙌
One of the best and useful channel on youtube
Love you loving spirit! Thanks for being so generous with your advice and ideas!
haha thank you brother!
Great video and information!
Great vid man
Just started following and am excited to learn more about lighting and cameras! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Cheers! 🙋🏼♂️
Hey haha right back atcha - thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! 😄🙌
Woow this content is absolutely lit...i love the background and the lighting
VERY PROFESSIONAL LOOK ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Just came across your channel while looking for studio ideas and I love how naturally engaging you are with the audience. I’ll be back...
Such a nice video! Cheers from Mexico City!
Great video, love the studio setup and colors and your energy is awesome. I have no doubt you will be successful. I’m really impressed with this 2 video series and your explanation of color theory and how to set up lighting rather than just telling us what to buy. Please make a part three for those of us who wear glasses and want to film videos without glare without spending $$!
Hi Stella!! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment :) That's a great question! In my experience, you can adapt your setup for glasses by simply making sure that your lights are at least 45 degrees off-axis from your camera. Or I guess to be more specific, if you're facing the camera and that's 12 o'clock, make sure that your key light (the one lighting your face) is either around roughly the 9-10 o'clock position or 2-3 o'clock. That should prevent any glasses glare for most of the time unless you turn your head far to the left or right. Hope this helps! :)
Great video bud...thanks for taking the time to do it - gave me lots of ideas!
Awesome! :) Thanks Matt!
30 years I've been in the video production business and I enjoyed your work so much a) I'm rooting for your success, b) subscribed to add to your count, and c) clicked thumbs up because your content you earned it . . . well done!
You just made my day, my friend :) Thank you!

Thanks so much for the kind comment - appreciate you here, my friend :)
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL

Amazing quality. This has really helped a growing TH-camr like me. 😻😍
Hey thanks for watching, Niko! 🙏❤️ Also, you mean "growing TH-camrs like us" ;) Such a fun journey we get to be on - wishing you all the best, my friend!
I always bring my 3-point lighting system to all campfire hang outs.
😂😂😂😂 This cracked me up
I've been trying to figure out how to hang a simple soft cover on the wall as a backdrop because I'm trying out a new style for my videos. Your nail + clip idea was a nail on the head for me! You earned a new sub!
Yes!! Love it! Glad to hear it helped! :)
really very informative sir.i was planing to make my own studio this video helps me a lot......thnaks for your a lot efford..thanks.....
I'm researching setting up a studio as I'm currently doing that & stumbled across your channel. Watched a few vids & had to sub!!! Great content keep it coming
Great Video!
I am VERY surprised that you only have 8,600 subscribers! Your videos are high quality and incredibly educational. I hope your channel picks up steam!
Small tip. Blankets muffle the sound better if they are a couple inches off the wall.
This is great.
totally helpful. thank you ❤️
Thanx Kavin
I totally love your light setup. it looks so cinematic
Hey thanks!! :)
Hey Kevin - thanks for the really informative video. I appreciate it.

Just found your channel Kevin! Thanks for your great content.... I'm a vlogger just getting ready to add live streaming! Really appreciate it. You said you want to encourage people, etc... well you have!
This is purely amazing...
loved this video! Thank you!!
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch and leave a comment that made my day :)
Great technical video and you are a super guy on top of it! You have a new subscriber. :)
thank you! :)
Really nice. I'm a professional educator, and am setting up a remote studio in a similar fashion. Connecting with my audience on a personal level is super important, glad you discussed!
Wow that’s awesome! I’m thinking of creating more content around this/related topics. Are there any other things you’d really want discussed?
@@TheKevinShen This may be OUT there, but I built a teleprompter style device with a Raspberry Pi screen behind it that would have my students zoom camera faces behind it when they talk, with my camera reflecting from below, so it always looks like I am looking them in the eye when talking. Otherwise, historically I've had to "fake" it by looking at the lens directly knowing, which works, but so much more natural looking at the person you are talking to rather than a lens. Of course this is more about live stuff rather than recording. HMU if you need details. Good video otherwise. Also I shamelessly stole your colour scheme! Warmth with distant coolness. really brings ppl together.
@@rommiemex9532 Wow that sounds SUPER cool! Would love to connect on IG and hear more! @thekevinshen
Awesome content
Brilliant being!
This guy is one of my favorites
Appreciate you, brother! :)
Hey man, great work.... Just love it... I'm working on my youtube studio setup... Would you please also add the adapter or exact HDMI cable information for the Camera video output to the Dell monitor? Thanks!
Great tips! I'm redesigning my studio for my new YT channel and I'm digging the dark background with the bokeh effect. Gorgeous!
Thank you! :)
Oh man amazing i was watching your video on full screen I taught this guy would must have huge subscribers but kinda like your work is super cool. Support you man in this journey. Subscribed.
Hey thank you!! That means a lot :)
New sub, complete newbie, best channel yet!
Great video man, I actually learned a thing or two. I usually do just a 1 light set up because my office is pretty small but I am really liking the LED light on you, I might have to buy one of those!
Hey thanks so much, Malcom! Yeah lighting is tons of fun to play with :D Can't wait to see what you do with it! Cheers, mate!
Nice work bro. Keep growing on TH-cam. Just subscribed to support you. You tutorials are very useful for me :)
Thanks Jacky! :)
Neatly done, I liked the slight zooming out effect before switching the the view to the phone, these subtle things make the flow of the video smoother.
Hey thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback :)
Newly sub, this channel is interesting! Haha keep it up man
Love from india 💓💓💓
subscribed because that wink was on point bro
Oh man iam new but your channel is so awesome...
Amazing Content! 🔥
Thanks! :)
Maaan this is awesome. I've been trying to understand lighting for a long time now and I appreciate how you've explained it here. Thank you. Subscribed.
Wow this comment made my day. So glad to hear it helped! Thank you! :)
@@TheKevinShen You're welcome! My lights come tomorrow! Wish me luck! :)
Great video, great light setup! I’m planning my video devlog for our game and since I’ve worked a lot with video in the past, I can’t bare with just filming with the phone and not care about the light. Good luck with your channel, so far it’s really good!
Thank you so much! And I love your channel art!! :)
Hi Kevin, really good video how to setup your studio. I just started few months ago, and I only use my mobile phone to record. maybe you could do tutorial on recording via smartphone in the future? thanks and subbed
super great Bro
Thanks Giovanni! :)
Just found your video and subscribed. I like what you had to say. I'm looking to get a channel created and start doing the TH-cam thing. Tips and suggestions are ALWAYS appreciated. Great channel man! Keep doing what you do.
Thanks man! Appreciate the support, brother :) Super excited for you! I'd love to hear more about what sorts of questions you might have as I figure out what content to create - would you mind helping me with this survey? thekevinshen.com/studio-survey Thanks a ton if you do!
Great
What kind or type of bulb do you suggest to put in the ikea holmo lamp for substituting the soft box?
Subbed.. I look fwd to growing & learning, thx!
You need more subscribers! Good content! 👌
Thank you! 😁
Great video. Great tips, great on camera presence. How do you not have more subs? Keep them coming.
Hey thanks Chris! :) Means a lot, my friend
One thing I’d be interested to know is how you get those text cards to show the step numbers. Is this just a function within premiere?
Oh that's a great question! I use Adobe After Effects and played around with some templates that I purchased around the web. Maybe I'll do a tutorial on that! Feel free to DM me on IG and I can walk you through it if you'd like!
Wonderful real life “How to” video and actually show the placements of each item. You got yourself a new subscriber!! Would love to see a camera setting and which lenses your using.
Hey thank you so much, Israel!! :)) That means a lot! Oooh great question - not to sound overly self-promotional haha but I actually put together an hour-long course with 30+ sections talking about my exact settings if you're curious to dig into the specifics! But to answer your question, I usually shoot in a custom flat profile with shutter speed of 1/50 for 24fps shooting or 1/200 for 120fps, and roughly f/1.8 - f/4 aperture, and a fixed ISO that I dial in by looking at the histogram to make sure I'm not overexposing or underexposing anything. If I'm shooting outdoors with unpredictable lighting, I usually leave ISO on auto since it's more important for me to capture everything visible than to have a perfect shot where there is no ISO flickering as it automatically adjusts every now and then.
oh! and sorry to answer your other question, the lenses I use mostly are the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II and the Canon 20mm f/2.8. I love my 50mm f/1.8 though too :) I also have a few other lenses as well for specific use-cases like getting extra large bokeh by using longer focal length zoom lenses.
I've listed all my gear here in case you're curious or have any more questions :) thekevinshen.com/gear/ or kit.com/thekevinshen if you prefer more pictures. Hope this was helpful! Thanks again for subscribing! Will do my best to be deserving of it with every new video ;)
Kevin can you let me know the colour of your background dark wall??
What's your opinion on ring lights?
Great video! My problem is that all my lights make my background look so bright instead of darker.
