Man, love it all! Honored to have Curtis as my co-sound blanket recommender. Also... iPhonedo... That guy is the best!
đđ»
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 đ
@@curtisjudd I agree on this one, its one of my goals
There are more CZcams superheroes in your videos than Avengers: Endgame.
The Velcro Industry: "What happened in April that caused such a spike in sales numbers?"
Intern: "We got Undone"
đŻđđ
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. đđŒ
Gerald undone has now officially collaborated with all my favorite CZcams channels. I must be the target audience.
I don't think there's anyone better to explain sound than Curtis đđœ
Thanks nazhif1!
That look tho haha 12:29
iPhonedo glad heâs got you on the payroll.
Abi seni burda görĂŒnce nasıl sevindim anlatamam đ
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
Loved this video. Itâs fantastic to see you bringing other creatives together like this. Do it again! đđŒ
Totally was waiting for Camera Conspiracies to make an appearance... still an amazing video! Great work on this everyone!
That boom arm on a stand is genius! I'm setting this up immediately
Holy crap! Josh explaining how practicals are actually supposed to work is blowing my mind! đ€Żđ€Żđ€ŻThis is your best group collab video to date Gerald!
Wow such awesomeness! And I stand by 30fps as the superior option đ€Ł
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
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. đ
Where did you get the wall mounts from for the lights?
Youâre my hero Tommy and Iâm allll over some Manfrotto QRPs! Got like 20 of them just like you.
The white balance card stand-in is freaking genius. Will definitely steal that idea!
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!"
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.
Thank you to all the creators and you on putting this video...
Absolutely love that you had a bunch of other youtubers on this one.
This is like the frickin All Star game! All my favorites in one video
Cable management is huge. Velcro for the win!
GREAT TIPS! Best advice summed up: "It's a marathon, not a sprint." BTW...NOTHING beats Battlestar Galactica! đ
Indeed... I think you were the only of my favorites who was missing from this!
Definitely Caleb is the best with light, his videos looks so smooth
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 đ§šđ„
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.
Iphonedo's intro was just SOOO GOOD!! Love that guy!
the avengers? more like A/Vengers hahahahahaha
Great lineup of guests. They are all my favorites. (And you, of course.)
This is the most practical production video Iâve seen in a long time. Thank you to all of your collaborators. Great job, Gerald.
Thumbs up for Curtis Judd! You two are best on YT in terms of accuracy, reviews, testing and bad-ass-ness!
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 đđđ 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.
Exactly the video I was looking for. Always room to improve my CZcams studio!
Thanks
Fascinating to hear the echo in the first 2 guest spaces! Great video.
Iâve been watching all these people for over a year now and for you to so cleverly tie them all into one video Gerald... đ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
Bro - the fact that you did this is perfect
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.
I'm all about that sound blanket life. đ
Also, is that last shot SERIOUSLY ON STORYBLOCKS?! đđ
Haha. It totally is. I found it while searching for the diving shots and new I had to include it. Too funny!
@@geraldundone đđđđ
I used the same lights and same area, just changed it around and it level up my production by miles.
Your comments at the end are very insightful. Thank you.
I love the deep, resonant isolated quality of your sound. Great job!
Thanks so much!
What an all-star cameo extravaganza. Loved it
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.
I use those same manfrotto plates! And Iâm a noob! Happy to stumble into something wise every once in a while!
Gerald, you must have heard my prayer...My home studio is a mess!!! I didn't know where to begin. Thanks for all the tips.
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.
What an epic collab with all my favourite filmmaking creators! Gonna check out the individual vids now. đżđżđż
Thanks, Gerald Undone! Great tips! I love the grey card ideas!
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 đ€Ł
such a great video !
so good to see the perspective of so many creators
Please bring up more of these! Improving home studio videos are so helpful! Best regards from Germany! Stay healthy!
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.
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 đŹ) and the one about practicals. I started doing that for my last video and it made such a huge difference!
Definitely never realized how functional velcro could be. Need those velcro strips delivered to me ASAP!
Biggest collab ever! This is the best!
All the tips in this video are 110% spot-on. So good. (makes chef-kiss motion)
Great topic in these times!
Sound blankets now on order, great tip!
Another great video! Thanks to all those involved!
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
This may be the best video on studio spaces I'v seen period!!
I realize this video is a year old but it just popped up on my screen and some great tips for sure. Iâve 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 Curtisâs examples, it sounds like theyâve 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. Iâm 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, theyâll work well enough. Fill the four corners of your studio with them. Theyâll not only absorb some of those lower frequencies that muddy up the voices, theyâll 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.
Yeah let's get Undone!!
Jesus, this video and editing between everyone was so good! And great info!!! Thank you so much!
I felt like you were talking directly to me in your closing statement. Great video, fantastic advice!
Excellent collection of tips. Great to see all the top video guys on CZcams contributing here all in one place.
Pop up add for Artgrid during your storyblocks ad. Now that's fun.
Sound blankets that are also bounce/negative fill is đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€
Awesome! I love these âtipâ videos, that youâve been doing. And⊠it was a pleasant surprise to see, that youâre friends, with some of the other CZcamsrs, that I watch. Too cool!
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!
Gerald, quirky works. Message delivered. Good job!
This is one of the most useful videos that I've seen on CZcams. Too good.
Wonderful collection of great tips and great talented people. Thanks very much. A fantastic collaboration.đđ€
Greatest crossover of all time
Great tips Gerald! Great job on bringing so many creators together to share their insights!
Caleb Pike! Love that guy!
Best channels on YT!
Glad to see Curtis on the video! Nice tips, keep them up!
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. :-)
Okay I have made a shopping list of all the things I'm gonna need. First up ... a new house!
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.
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.
Love the collab from different creators.
I like the way you quiet for 1 second then say ''let's get undone'' and the intro begins lol
Great tips and loved all the special guests!
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 would definitely recommend checking target and your local thrift store for rolling tables. You'd be surprised by what you find. I have a completely rolling modular studio. Spent no more than $70.
Looks like your building furniture in there...With the pegboard, all those tool, benches and bins, lol. Haha...It Looks great Gerald!!
Love it Bruh-bruh. #ohfosho
âIâm a very emotional person. I like flowers, and poetry, and shit!â
Best quote of the vid.
This is full of great info, well done! Really fun to see so many awesome channels sharing tips in one place đ
Amazing video! Stunning studio sets from everyone!
Don't care how many times you do the stock footage travel bit, it will never not be funny
Love this video. Great tips and awesome that you included these other creators.
The wall mounts and wheels idea was genius. Where are the wall mounts from?
nicely transitioned into the storyblocks ad! one of the best I have ever seen, lol!!
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.
Thanks to you all CZcams mafia!
This video needs to be seen by more youtubers!
