Izzy Video 142 – My Revised Home Studio
I like to convert my living room into a studio for shooting video. Is it a little inconvenient having to move everything around? Yes, I suppose it is. But it works for me for several reasons:
- I don’t have to drive anywhere. Even if it takes 45 minutes to set up the studio, that’s not much longer than it would take for me to drive to a studio somewhere else. And my living room is certainly a lot more accessible to me.
- My living room is quiet. The floor is covered with carpet. This helps deaden potential sound problems.
- I can shoot almost any time I want. If we’re planning on shooting on a Tuesday, but then we push it to Wednesday because we’re not ready yet, I don’t have to worry about rescheduling a rented studio.
- I can hit the refrigerator between takes. :-)
If I had an extra room that I could set up and leave as a studio all the time, I probably would, but this periodic studio setup just isn’t that difficult, so I don’t mind doing it.
In this week’s video, I’ll show you the whole transformation as I convert my living room into a studio, and then I’ll stop periodically to explain certain items, pieces of gear, and my motivations behind some of the decisions I’ve made.
This is similar to a video I did in the past, but I’ve made changes since then, so I thought an update would be appropriate.
Do you have a studio in your home? I’d love to hear what you do. Please feel free to tell me about it in the comments for this post.
