For some of the upcoming SLR Lounge videos, I thought it would be nice to have an actual area of our studio dedicated to recording our tutorials and videos. However, there was slim pickings given that pretty much every other area of our studio and warehouse is in use already. So, I was left with the back garage door entrance of our warehouse to setup our scene.

So, I this Behind the Scenes video tutorial I am going to show you guys how to build a set with virtually nothing, and then light the entire set with less than $130 worth of lighting products, all of which (except the scrim) was purchased at Home Depot.

  • haha, yeah....inexpensive lighting, creativity AND a very expensive camera :)

  • @RandomlyChandler Can achieve the exact same look with any Canon DSLR that does HD video along with a 50mm prime lens.

  • title should be renamed, I thought this was for photography but I think this was more meant for HDSLR or video recording.

  • @Snakekilla12 These lighting techniques and scene setup techniques work just as well for still shots as they do for video. As I mentioned, this is how I start all my studio and location based editorial shoots. Find a scene, choose a vision, light the scene, then start shooting or filming. It's all the same.

  • i think this was really cool and informative, liked it

  • pointless and stupid

  • 4k video ?

  • Somerset pictures with a Model would have been nice

  • Overall I thought this was great, as are all your videos. However, I thought there should be more light directed at the subject's face (unless it would have killed that awesome rim light).

  • It works! Good job!

  • When you say the Home Depot lights were "balanced", how did you accomplish that? Yes, I'm new to photography. :)
