Yeah, good point. Certainly not a "no budget" solution. While they aren't GREAT, but one can get a PAIR of Samson CO2 mics (cardioid pattern) for about $140. Tascam makes some pretty decent affordable recorders that have enough gain to drive the Samson CO2 mics.
ive just built my set with less than a $100, and it is just good enough for a spotify podcast, twitch streaming and youtube videos, i can even record some guitar and vocals with nice quality, and im 100% sure an average person is not gonna notice the difference
Hi @@JandaBecanda. Thank you for your answer! I actually checked out Anchor and I liked it very much. I will start researching the topics I'd like to do my podcasts about and work on branding. Thank you again!
This is a tremendous help! What I lack in education as far as videography, I learn through channels such as this one. So I super super appreciate stuff like this. It's no wonder your platforms are continuously growing. You've checked every box across the board. God bless. Ty again!
Bro I have spent so much time AND MONEY putting together a podcast for a client ...and after 10 episodes you have no idea how much this helps for those small fine-tuning details that we need. Perfect example ...in my studio, which I use for filming AND photo shoots, I'm constantly bitching about having to break down the backdrop that holds the paper roll. Well guess what?! Now I don't have to! Now I can just use the backdrop to hang lights from the top of it! You saved me so much time! 😁👍🏾 No but seriously thank you so much for putting this together. You gave me some good ideas about balancing my practicals as well as helping to control the sound because my studio also has really high ceilings and a concrete floor. Great Job!!!
You said only 2 lights, then proceed to use 6. I really appreciate the effort and the tutorial and the ideas that are being expressed. But to suggest that no one has an excuse for not shooting in a similar quality to what you achieved is not accurate. Consider the cost of everything on your final set. Including lights, cameras, soft boxes with grids, audio, set dressings, moving blankets, flags to kill exterior lights, catpole, wires, tape, etc we're talking about a set in excess of $6000 for a podcast that won't make any money day one and may never break even. Recently you've had people from The Futur on discussing knowing your audience. I think you need to know yours. I would love to see you put together a competition based series where each competitor has to create the best set/frame they can for $X budget all inclusive. And made those budgets realistic to your indie viewers. So instead of $1000 for camera then another $1000 for audio then $200 for a tripod and whatever, it's all included in the budget. Say $500 or $1000 all in. So for example you have 2 people each trying to make the best video capture podcast set they can but they can't use more than $500 worth of equipment including dressings no cheats like "we just had this". Or, the best capture of a in car scene that appears to be moving for $1000 all in. The best fight scene set up for $750 all in. That kind of thing. I think that a series in that vein would be very popular and extremely helpful to your audience base. Not just in terms of how to work inside of such tight budgets but also in developing those creative problem solving skills. Up vote if you would like to see such a series, so Ted can gauge interest
I mean, you won't get any more out of these videos then you already do. Just look at what they are doing and how you can implement that for yourself. They don't have to tell you what €200 camera you have to use. Look it up for yourself. The most valuable information in their tutorials isn't about the camera's but about the set design, lighting and audio treatment which you can all do for very little money. This isn't meant as a hateful comment but rather as a motivation to learn from these videos and make this information your own.
Today we're gonna make a podcasting setup, budget? $2000-3000. Lol. To be fair, cheap is not in the title and the equipment will give you great results.
I don't think many people like reading. The title says EASY not CHEAP. And this was a very clear. Well thought out A-Z tutorial. I'm actually using it with different cameras I have to get the same effect. Use your creativity CREATORS! *the links for c-stands and 120d don't lead to those items. Solved with a quick Google search xx
To all those who don't have money and were truly seeking a "budget" option there really are options! Keep on doing your research. I know the xm8500 dynamic XLR mic is fairly decent if you're seeking that bass podcast feel, and it only costs $23 usd. You'll still need an $8 dollar cable, $15 sissor arm stand & $60-120 dollar Audio Interface but will be all set with a pro sounding settup. There surely are other options too like the Q2U usb mic which used to sell for $60 if you can find it! Just keep on looking and don't be disheartened. Record and keep on creating even if it's just with your phone!
Useful tips, especially on the lighting using practicals and matching to them. And the funniest thing I've seen in a while. From some of the comments, it seems as if "indie" to some viewers means no money for anything. For others of us, it means something between no money and tens of thousands of dollars for equipment. I think you are well-calibrated regarding equipment. On the other hand, I'm not sure how many of us would rent large warehouse space to do a podcast. More likely, our smaller basement, if we have one, or an extra bedroom, if we have one, or a corner of our apartment, if our apartment has corners. Thanks for doing this one and a lot of other good ones.
I mean even the "cheap" set up was hella money so the "you have no excuse" may be a bit off but I appreciate it definitely put in perspective where I need to prioritize my efforts 🙌🏽
Matthew Herrington on the flip side, I think their attitude toward the cost is probably a good reality check of the minimum numbers to really keep up right now 🤷🏽♂️
If you only want to do audio there are some great low-budget options available. The most important part will be "treating your room". You could get away with REALLY cheap microphones if your room sounds decent.
@@SeanofAllTrades speaks the truth. I run a 10 year old MXL990 through a TASCAM DR60D and used ATHM50 headphones. With a little care it can sound pretty good, all under 500 bucks, less if you buy used. The tradeoff on this stuff is often spending time editing and managing levels, noise removal, the boring time consuming stuff. Would not recommend blowing a ton of money on pro gear to start a podcast if you've never done one before.
you can build a great set eith less than a 100 bucks, neewer nw 800 mic, beringer uphoria um22 sound card, a mic cable, a tripod, and you are good to go for a one person audio only podcast
By far the best setup guide i have seen on RU-vid .. ultimate video.. took me to watch just one video to subscribe right away .. amazing tenor you guys have going on there. Keep up.. 👍
@@ce4276 I know, I know. I jest. It's just podcasts are audio mediums forthright, and they can be made from one microphone and a peice of string. Though obviously this means video podcasts.
@@HarryRobins it's a good point, lots of people think you need all this expensive equipment to record a podcast but the best thing is to just get a decent microphone and start recording. Gear acquisition syndrome is a real problem lol
Love it, man! Great timing as we’re still new to RU-vid and working on our setup. My goal is to one day be as comfortable in front of the camera as you are! Cheers bro!
I think they need a brighter key light on the characters to separate them from the background. Also, shoot at a wider aperture to add some separation and slight background blur. Otherwise, great job guys!
I am very interested in learning how to set up the lights. I just finished setting up a low-budget studio in the smallest room at my house. I did my first test yesterday, and I just realized I should have had a light hanging from above and slightly behind him or between my back and the background I realized some people used RBG lights in the background. Is RBG light better than bright lights in the background or should they be used as a combination I used a Sony ZV1-M2 and a Nexigo N990 PTZ cameras, I feel the image could have been better. Any advice ?
Do you guys also have good advice on how to deal with recording restrictions of the camera? I have an A7III and after 29:59 it'll stop recording, something that afaik can't be turned off.
Won’t bore you with details about the time limit on recording, so I’ll just make a suggestion: instead of one long recording, just make several smaller clips. Make organization a little easier and that should extend to your editing.
Your videos are amazing. Your gear link does not work in your description. Just wondering if you can send a list in what was used here and what you usually use.
Damn, wish I could execute this look on my own... budge wise and production value it's not easy to execute with zero experience. BUT I loved the tutorial - it was ahhhmazing!! Goals for sure~!~
I love this! #FromBrazil This was one of the best courses I have ever had within everyone we have here at YT. My congratulations here from Brazil. Best part was Yoga. LOL! Tks guys
I am have been looking to buy some inexpensive sound blankets and doing some research. The least expensive black/white blankets I have found on amazon are Supreme Mover Moving Blankets, 4 blankets for $90. These blankets can also be usef for fill and negative fill. Moving blankets are rated in "pounds per dozen". * Light duty are 35 lbs/dz. * Medium duty are 60 lbs/dz. * Heavy duty are 90 lbs/dz. * Real sound blankets are probably heavie per dz. Sound blankets quite often have multiple eyelets on each side. You can add these with a brass 3/8"-1/2" eyelet sets. No sewing, just a hammer, punch and die set. You might want a 2" x 2" nylon or canvas backing on each side under the eyelet. Here is the exact blanket description on amazon: Supreme Mover Moving Blankets | 72 inch x 80 inch Heavy Duty Black and White Moving Pads| 7.5 pounds each (90 pounds per dozen) | 4 Blankets
i was waiting for this type of video from you guys! thanks! what lens did you put on those Sony a6400!?? i have the same camera and using to record a podcast for a client. again thanks for the ideas and keep the videos coming!
This video is within perfect timing for my upcoming podcast Thank you for all the budget friendly tips and insider info. The two concept pods were nice also
Wasup guys. I love this so much. Really gave me insight on where I was stuck. Thank you! Just a quick one though, is it possible to use 2 blue yeti usb microphones if you're on a mad small budget instead?
