      Kellan Reck hi kellan amazing and very helpful how would you like to be a guest on my weekly Talk show that Aires on Facebook and TH-cam at the same time it is a guitar related show but most of my listeners are content creators and would be very interested in hearing from you about setting yourself up as a content creator

    Kellan, if you ever read this, let me apologize in advance for this comment being so long, BUT I must say that I've watched literally dozens upon dozens of these "TH-cam studio set-up" type videos for YEARS and YEARS and have NEVER come across one that is as simple and to-the-point as yours. And by "simple and to-the-point" I mean you helped me FINALLY understand camera settings and why, when and how to use them by explaining the settings in a "real World" example and not just by using "professional tech talk" that means absolutely NOTHING to a beginner or someone inexperienced with DSLRs or cameras with semi-pro to pro bells and whistles. Believe me when I say, I've been watching TH-cam videos for over 10 years trying to understand how people were getting that "look" for their TH-cam videos. I got to the point where I was so sick and tired of hearing people explain three-point-lighting, key light, hair light, fill light, etc, etc. I even purchased a very expensive lighting kit years ago only to regret it because my videos still looked green as freak. Then I watched video after video after video of the "pros" explaining aperture, ISO, shutter speed, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...but no one was putting it all together in a "follow along, real World example" like you just did. AND YOU DID IT WITH A SINGLE LIGHT, AND IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE, from what I could see though your windows. I was also frustrated with videos titled "how to make your TH-cam videos look professional" and the video would go on and on talking about what camera, what lens, what lighting, etc., etc., and all I could think was "dude, forget all this techy mumbo jumbo, just show me exactly how YOU got your video to look the way it is RIGHT NOW!" It took your video, Kellan, to get me to finally understand how it all works, and you did it without OVERCOMPLICATING everything. As I watched, I grabbed my Samsung S20 Ultra because its native camera app has what they call "Pro Camera" and "Pro Video" modes which allow you to manually adjust some basic aperture, ISO, white balance, etc., settings. As you were talking, I was following along and adjusting the settings on my phone's camera and VOILA...it all came together for me in that instant! After all these freaking years, I finally know EXACTLY how to work with manual settings of cameras and from now on will know what I'm supposed to do with them. I'm more of a visual learner and sometimes I learn "backwards." I'm more of a "show me the when, why and how of something and teach me the terminology later" type of learner. Once again bro, thank you so much for this video. You have no idea what this videos means to me. I know others have given you compliments and praise for this video, but as far as I'm concerned, you could have charged top dollar for this one. Thanks again Kellan. PEACE!

    Wow, this is one of the most useful videos I've seen on making your home look way more professional on TH-cam. The key difference was the before & after comparisons at each step. Most people just tell you what settings you need and you can't remember why as you have no context. Thanks so much!

Ill use the zoom lens for a while, but I am looking to get a prime lens for the wide shots. I love the look of the 28mm you recommend! Best 10mins spent on the internet in a long time.

  • @essaysbyken
    @essaysbyken 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is probably the best home video studio tutorial I've ever seen!
    Tip on the panels that I had to learn the hard way: don't apply the double-sided tape backing to your painted walls. Depending on the kind of panels, this cheap gross tacky glue may death-grip your walls-leaving behind black foam residue from the panels when you need to take them down. I applied very similar panels to my studio room in a rent house and nearly lost my deposit because it was IMPOSSIBLE to get the double-sided residue off of the walls without damaging the paint-even with GooGone and scraping. Instead, either apply them to a board or even just a sheet of thick white cardboard that you attached to your wall with small nails or even tacks. Either that, attach the panels with tiny finishing nails or tacks that hide inside of the material when tapped into place.
    I'm keeping this video on a list to reference!

      Shouldn't your webcam fix the ISO automatically, even when you don't have the setting? All Logitech webcams I know of do this. Maybe put a sheet in front of your light (if it's not the kind of light that heats up)? But well, if you can afford a nice camera, it's all good. You may want a capture card if you want to connect it on your computer like you did with your webcam (e.g. for streaming).

    Great explanation. A lot of other videos talk about lighting and such, but often skip out on how the camera settings need to adjust. Great breakdown!

      The key is actually lighting. You can get a good look with a webcam and proper lighting. If you have a dSLR it's easier to get the bokeh affect, but that's all that the camera gives you.

      There's a video of him shooting with his iPhone and it looks AWESOME. There's also another video of Nigel Barros shooting with an older iPhone 6 and it looks amazing! Lighting can dramatically change the way things look and you don't really need an expensive mic especially if you're just starting and want to get your feet wet!

    This was very to the point great tips and clear setting for my camera I would recommend making a video talking about using a cell phone and getting an app with manual settings since your camera and lens are expensive. Show people they can have a cheap set up everything else was great

    I'd also like to add that instead of umbrella light, get a softbox light, which costs about the same. Also camera doesn't need to be expensive. I bought an old canon eos-m with f/2 22mm lens for $220.

    An $80 Logitech webcam is going to auto-adjust ISO, white balance, and exposure and do the background blur in software, and include a pretty decent stereo microphone. And, if you have a second monitor you can use it as a fill light and adjust the color just displaying different photos to get the light level and color that you want.
