Today, we visit Erik’s workshop to discover what he’s been making for the past few years and how you can start DIY filmmaking today.
Erik talks to us about making high-end branded content after Indy Mogul. He tells us what every filmmaker needs to have in their tool bag. We also cover DIY lighting solutions and how to shape it with the things you can find in every hardware store. Finally, we break down the elephant in the room - Erik’s DIY motion control rig that he made for less than $3,000.
Check out Erik’s old but gold DIY build videos and more on this channel: bit.ly/2VryMmx

What a great combination of Indy Mogul's history and practical advice all rolled up into a very entertaining episode!

@veronikanotzon6008 5 лет назад

@@indymogul For most of the people its easier to study a ton of tutorials for 1 year than earning more than 100000ish dollar per year. Everybody who wants this tutorial: thumbs up! :) Please tell Erik the demand. There are definitely a lot of people who would pay for this tutorial, maybe on udemy. Greetings, Veronika and Marcus

I really like the ad countdown timer in the corner. I'm not sure why, but it makes the ad read more tolerable somehow. Maybe it's just because it makes it feel finite and therefore survivable. Either way, just wanted to call out that tiny but appreciated detail

@TylerEdwards 5 лет назад

@EvilGenius. Год назад

I thump this down. Because there was very little DIY in this video. One is the cost of the DIY. A lot of people to this day still don't have that kind of money to have 3D printers or high-tech gear. the whole purpose of DIY is to make things with little or no money! That is what this channel was built on!

@TheMiraldi 4 года назад

What is a normal suv car truck? Sounds pretty interesting Ted!!! Lol jk jk great video as usual guy! Keep making us magic!

@JosephKeenanisme 3 года назад

Lol. Just this past weekend pricing out PVC for a backdrop/green screen. An OK on Amazon was cheaper than the PVC itself would cost. Definitely price out your materials lists and see if it would be worth paying $5 more to not have the agro of the build when you can buy off the shelf :)

@cathycreatesart 5 лет назад

That was a great episode. I wish I had been into indy mogul since the beginning, I only found you since you started again and you're one of my favourite channels. Keep up the good work!

@elcidbob 4 года назад

I kinda hate the obsession with 3d printing. So much of what's done with them is better done in basically any other way and the expense of a decently robust one is enough that you'd be better off getting a small cnc mill (or realistically a used manual mill and convert it to cnc) which will let you do metal and plastic--and I know for me personally, the learning curve for machining was hella lower than for 3d printing, and I learned machining first, so a bunch of the crossover stuff like pathing, measuring, and the like is on the machining side. There's just so much more to go wrong with 3d printing. And to be clear, I'm not hating on 3d printing. The things it's great for it's amazing for, but they're not the great general thing-maker people think.

@eformance 5 лет назад

I'm so confused, if you're interviewing Erik, then WHO is Indy Mogul now? I was a subscriber when Indy Mogul relaunched with Erik, then kinda lost interest. The second rise of the Phoenix captured my attention a bit because Ted is very dynamic, but does a lot of travel for IM content. Did IM change hands again? Like I said, I'm very confused about WHO is Indy Mogul and WHO owns it and runs it now.

@indymogul 5 лет назад

any other alternatives to high CRI diy lights? It seems Indonesia doesn't sell high cri bulbs anywhere, which is very frustrating. could be tungsten, but those takes a lot of energy and is very hot.
