I wouldn't be surprised though if some other country had outlawed metal hangers for being 'too dangerous' though (I also wouldn't be surprised if that was the case in Cali, they have some really stupid laws over there).

Also did it ALL from my phone, but had to transfer to files to a computer software to get a better edit. Although I edited straight from the phone more times then I can count. I'd just sit on the couch and be on my phone. I had one of those lapel mics so I would add some voiceover as well.

      @Badr Ahmed He probably assumes you're already have a PC capable of playing whatever game you want to stream. My brother mostly streams older games on emulators and just recently set up his EasyCap (or rather I set it up since it ended up being a major pain in the ass) so he can stream Melee. He could probably stream some newer games at lower resolutions.
      Linus also didn't mention internet which can be a problem or capture cards. What kind of internet to get is too complex a question for this type of video, it depends on how many people are using the network, what kind of quality you want, and what's available in your particular situation. In our case we live in a condo and the best options available for internet are not all that great because even if we paid for a higher tier we basically bandwidth share with everyone in the complex plus a ton of fast food restaurants that are almost certainly on the same cable networks (with cable and phone internet you actually share with everyone on the same main cable or phone line as you). We also don't have the option for fiber here (fiber is faster and more direct which reduces latency but it requires fiber network lines which are often unavailable for condo/apartment buildings).
      Capture cards are also complex because it depends on what you're capturing, what kind of OS support you need, and what quality you're willing to put up with. Easy cap can do 480p from composite or a little bit higher from S-Video but getting it to work on Windows 10 involves buying the unit (my brother got his years ago and just never set it up), finding out what the actual hardware for the unit is (there's like 10 different variations), and finding (if you're lucky) compatible firmware. Even then you may have to do some modifications to keep the dang thing cool because most if not all of them will cook themselves.

      Well if you include the phone that really is what you need, though you can try lowering it to around $200 total. People are missing the fact this relies on already having a camera.
      This is a GREAT guide, but people saying "wow this is REAL budget" honestly isn't fair to Linus when he does great budget builds that don't rely on previously existing gear

    What would also be great to compliment this video is another where you go over software on the cheap/beginner stage. A lot of people mention OBS, but it would be cool to see and learn what it does on a basics level.
    And something for those of us who can't afford Premiere, but want to make content and don't know what to use or do. A "Software for Media Creation 101" of sorts, y'know?
    Lots of people stuck at home wondering what to do with themselves right now. Myself included.

      *Oh I'm just concerned with streamers who create/receive a ton of drama, then tell biased stories to their fans to convince them to harass their opposition on-stream. These last few years, it has caused a lot of issues for a lot of streamers, and the "Just leave if you can't handle it bro" argument really offers nothing for the Streamer. When this drama spreads across social media into Their daily lives yet they KEEP streaming it's because it's their source of Income, and they keep putting themselves in front of a camera for people to comment hate or call them names, and the Streamer keeps saying things back, the drama continues until some authority like Twitch has to use ITS power to delete the Streamer's channels/content and force them off, to the detriment of the streamer's mental health, OR the streamer takes a leave of absence due to all the pain they received along the way.* I would prefer it if a new streamer never has to endure such pain, so I'd rather they learn how to communicate with "social etiquette" than wait until something truly cruel, dramatic and life-altering happens to them.*

    • @IRMacGuyver
      @IRMacGuyver 3 роки тому +16

      LED bulbs don't produce white light. They're RGB. While that sounds and kinda looks like white you're missing violet. So a lot of purple objects wont read clearly on video and the same for yellow. Real white light is ROYGBIV not RGB.

    • @thuban6371
      @thuban6371 3 роки тому +3

      LED light is awful. LEDs are only bright at the source. They don't actually cast much light at all. The worst option to use for any lightsource. I have near perfect color vision, in some cases I also have hyper sensitivity to overly vibrant colors, namley the raw RGB. LED lights piss me the hell off.
      If you have a lighting rig with all the same color gels. I can tell you when one is even slightly burned out and off color. Slightly as is I have yet to find lighting director agree with me. If your lighting gels are bad. you won't hear the end of it from me.

It's mostly YMMV when it comes to LED bulbs so I'm pretty sure Linus said to just get halogen bulb is because u can buy them really cheap and not bother with stuff like CRI, flickering, light output etc.
      For streamer that just started these things are not so important (i usually don't care if streamer uses bad equipment as long as it has good content), but it should be priority down the road.

    @neodorian 3 роки тому

    I've been using a clamp light with LED bulb and parchment paper diffuser for WebEx conferences during work-from-home. An old desk lamp bounced off a wall on my other side adds a fill light.
    One thing to note: if you do use incandescent/halogen as mentioned, they will get quite hot and wax paper may not be the best diffuser depending on how close to the bulb you attach it. Parchment paper for cooking works just as well and it's meant to withstand oven temps so as long as it's not sitting directly on a hot halogen for extended periods it may be preferable to wax paper.
    Also, if you're more concerned with conferencing than streaming, a headset (even the old wired cell phone one you had from before OEMs lost their collective mind) will make a huge difference in avoiding background noise and preventing echo in conferences. People who use laptop mic/speakers are the bane of my existence and even for recording or streaming a headset mic has a better pickup pattern than the one on your phone, webcam, or laptop.
