      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.

    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

    • @bdubz_det

    • @NebulousFilms
      @NebulousFilms 3 роки тому +7

      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.

    • @fespri8280

    • @SeanofAllTrades
      @SeanofAllTrades 4 роки тому +4

      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.

    • @destructoblog
      @destructoblog 4 роки тому

      @@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.
