How To Design a Small Space YouTube Filming Backdrop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- I polled you guys on instagram for questions about designing UA-cam filming spaces and the most common question was "How do you design a UA-cam filming background in a small space?" So I took a tiny corner of a bedroom and some scrap wood, and threw together a small corner! Also, answering your questions!
Awesome music for your videos:

Loved the video! Great tips!
If I may chime in, we should also consider how your videos are rendered by UA-cam. Gradients will suffer from heavy banding, so be mindful of lighting an empty backdrop or wall. And darker areas are compressed more heavily than brighter ones. So if you're going to go dark, don't use gradients, and fill your background with stuff to break up the effects of the UA-cam compression. Basically, the worst thing you can do for UA-cam is shoot in front of a big dark purple wall with a gradient. 🤓🤣🤦♂️
Thanks so much! Yesss that’s a great tip! You can totally see banding in that shot of Chris and I against the white background with the plants! Stuff with texture and layers definitely help!
Ohhhh. Now I know why things look the way they are whenever I upload. Interesting 😦
I was going to say...lol!
Do any of us really deserve Gerald? I feel as though he just pops up on my feed with a video "Everything You Could Want to Know About (Insert Topic Here)" and I'm all like "Thanks, Gerald!" Now he's helping me on OTHER people's videos! Is there no end to his knowledge...?
I've noticed this annoying gradient effect. Anyone have tips on fixing?
I appreciate that this is the design of the space and not “what (typically expensive) equipment you need for a full blown studio”.
I agree! I'm learning so much from her expertise
Saw another beautiful idea for diy setup which we can try. Watch n thank me later
ua-cam.com/video/PWPIohs_bDQ/v-deo.html
Bonus tip: have blue hair to separate you from the background 👍🏻
Haha this was interesting!!
DID I JUST GET A NOD FROM THE QUEEN OF DESIGN/DREAMY AESTHETICS/HOME DECOR?! Get out of here. I have learned everything I know (& do) from you!
Iz .. just love the broll shot of ur studio, hi, this is Rivu frm India 🙂
Oh thank you miss, you are too kind!!! 😘 but like seriously, you know how to use color SO FREAKING GOOD 😍😍
Chris: Hey, I found another room in our house, we also have a garage
Becki: Let's turn into a studio!
Chris: Another studio?
Becki: *already in Home Depot*
🤣🤣🤣
This has my laughing so hard
Ha! I could totally see this happening, lol.
@@JasonLorette definitely have talked about mounting video lights on the ceiling in the garage 👀🤣
@@BeckiandChris - ha ha...doesn’t surprise me at all. 🤣
I don't think I've ever hit the subscribe button so fast before in my life.
You literally made a piece of wood look good 😂 such a great video, damn woman, you did it again!
thanks Lila!
Where’ve you been for the last two years man, UA-cam algorithm was doing me a total disservice because this channel is all I’ve ever needed. Finally!
You just nail it, I think the video is great because you don't propose a setup (as there are millions on UA-cam) with a Sony A7SIII, an f1.2 lens, an Aperture lighting with a large softbox and with a room with a lot of space ahead for equipment and space behind so that everything is out of focus .... I love this new type of video that you are making, in which everything is affordable and "reachable" for anyone who is starting.... And also all the videos recommended at the “cards” are perfect to keep watching 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was one of the most pleasing looking videos I've ever seen. I wasn't even looking for this, it just popped up and I watched the whole thing because I was so mesmerised! I love how moody and dark your set-up is and yet there's a perfect amount of light to see you. And also your awesome hair just absolutely blends in perfectly with the whole look 👏
Perfect timing As the days are getting shorter I am realizing I can’t rely on window light as much during the winter and I’ll have to make a make shift setup! Thanks for the video! -Sarah
I felt like the light in the background looked really small, and that made the background look further away. That looks great!
OoOoo good call I might try that
I'm always drawn to a flat background too.. very Wes Anderson especially with layers and depth.
I absolutely love your voice for explaining things. Such perfect tempo and soft enough to digest information. :) Thank you!
Is it ok that I now look at every corner of our apartment as a UA-cam set?! 24 vids in... I’ve caught the creator bug! Ha. Great vid, thanks B&C. Hi from lockdown London. 😊
Honestly I was getting frustrated bc I couldn't find anything "good" on this subject since I started my channel about a month ago. I am almost at 4000 hours so wanted to up my game and FINALLY WHEN I searched your video came up. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS "NEW SUBSCRIBERS"
I could literally listen to you talk about probably anyting your energy that you bring through your video intoxicatingly mesmerizing
This is so timely! I've resumed filming for my channel and I'm testing different backgrounds for photos. Thanks Becki!
We just moved to Japan and I've been trying to figure out the "space" here and this was extremely helpful esp. cause your my go to in the design space.
I've been meaning to upgrade the quality of my content and holy heck - your videos are so immensely informative. You break it down so that even complete beginners can understand. This video alone taught me so many useful tips I want to shout lol THANK YOU!!
Becki, your production quality is about as pro as i have ever seen. so enjoyable to watch.
Nice to stumble on this video. Technically excellent and very appealing to watch. But mostly impressed with how naturally at ease you are on camera and how likeable. Wish you much success.
OMG I have just stubble across this video and got so many helpful tips about shooting videos in a home space.
I've been procrastinating like crazy with starting my UA-cam channel and used the excuse of nowhere to shoot. Not anymore!
Thanks Si
Holy crap, you are actually really nice and easy to listen to. Thanks! I shoot against a wall 1 foot away and it sucks but it's all I have lol.
This was amazing! Thank you for contributing to our brands in businesses in this way. It is much appreciated!
Thanks for all this useful content! Decided to start a youtube channel this year because of creatives like you guys!
Definitely utilizing this info for creating youtube talking head videos moving forward! Appreciate it! 🙏🏽
I was struggling for like a 6 months of how to set up a formal or at least functional to record space. As usual, you have open my mind to knowledge. I'm starting rigth know. Thanks for always sharing! I love guys, keep rocking! Saludos y abrazos desde México!! 🖤🖤👌🏾
Literally my favorite channel for inspiration.
Really great tips! Thank you for helping us all to overcome this challenge. I think many of us are all in a very similar place here, starting in a small space, but wanting a great looking space to represent our brand! I’m excited to implement some of these tips!
Literally my favorite part of the weekend are your videos!
😭 thanks so much!
I love and appreciate both of you guys so much, your content is pure bliss to my eyes, mind & ears! This video was so great thanks!
Soooo helpful I am using my bedroom for my UA-cam studio at the moment
Hey guys! I was literally searching for a filming background tutorial and organically came across yours! Awesome! Xox (fellow Newfie here).
Thank you. I came looking for tips in setting up impromptu backdrops (so small budget/small space fits into the mold) and the basic technical stuff and the examples were very helpful, thank you! Thanks also for showing your past setups for folks like me who haven't been following.
Becki, you're awesome! I was just re-watching the "home studio" video yesterday & have been trying to think of something for my very small bedroom; thanks for this!
Just about ten seconds in and I can already tell that this is the video I needed.
Wow! That lighting is impeccable..
Mind = blown on the timing of this. I was watching your youtube studio videos yesterday trying to figure out how to setup my small room for filming
Great to see what can be achieved in a small space with minimal props. I’m excited to see what I can create this weekend to record some more videos for my channel, thanks
Your channel is soul food for me! Lol it is a plus, the asthetics & quality of your videos on a 82 inch 4k tv! Lbs! All the colors you guys represent is exactly what Im into as well so THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!
I straight up spent a week trying to solve this problem and built a little wooden background yesterday! Really enjoyed the video.
Boy, that’s great timing! Literally what I’m finishing up at this moment. My big struggle is lighting! Going to binge some of your other vids. Thx
I didn't even hear the tips, but just by the quality of the lighting, her voice, and the hair, I knew it was gonna be great! Subscribing rn 💜
Super helpful, as always, Becki! Thanks for always coming through for us.
Got you!!!
Thank you for this video. 🙏
Not only great tips, but showing the space you shot from different angles really was helpful!
THE video I need right now! Starting to film indoors now winter’s kicking in, and have a very small space to work with... top info, thanks! 😍
Again, love you! Such good info and your personality is the best.
This is such a perfect Video! Love the tips and the honesty in this piece. Nuggets of Wisdom dropped for sure. Thank you for being so transparent & real in your content. Taking a lot from this video going forward on my content. Salute for creating this and keeping us in line.
Wow, this is the room design I always really wanted. I really adore the color and design.
Love it. Thanks for the great tips! Moving from a shooting space that had built in elements that gave depth, texture and tone (and tons of natural light, too) into a spare bedroom temporarily as I build out the new space (which is a 7x18 closet) I've been struggling to really nail my background and get the elements the previous space just 'had'. This also gives me a ton to consider when designing the new space from scratch. :)
you guys seem like the type of people id just like to hang out with. Thanks for all the videos Becky.
This video is perfect!!! I just moved to a studio apt. in SF and I’m in the process of setting up a mini studio space and a workstation in my closet.
I always get inspired by watching your videos or listening to your podcast. Please keep up the good work cause you are deadly!
This was perfect. Undergoing a “studio reno” (aka living room) currently and this was very useful!
You are an amazing creature! I always wait for your sunday vids! Love them!
1. Becky - you are gorgeous! Lovely!
2. This is EXACTLY what I needed! I'm just getting back into videos after a 2 year hiatus. I have moved homes so my current space is a corner in my office room. (I'm sharing w my husband). I love the suggestion of set and brand matching.. makes so much sense! Thank you for this gem!!
I love this background so much
This is an amazing tutorial. The production, look, information. . . so helpful.
I loved this video! So helpful! First UA-cam video I’ve watched in a long time that I actually enjoyed! Thank you⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, UA-cam, for finally recommending a video/new channel to me that actually makes sense and is really useful!
New to the channel, but LOVE your videos!
All of these tips are going to make my channel EXPLODE! Really appreciate this, currently setting up my in home studio now. Extremely helpful information!
I love your channel so much. I just converted my 2nd bedroom into a home office/studio this is gonna help big time.
Talk about perfect timing! Thanks Becki!
timeless content. thank you. i truly appreciate ur content
How have I not heard about this channel?? I love this girl! SUBSCRIBED!
WOW! THAT COLOUR IS GEORGEOUS!! 💙💙💙
Super appreciated this one, I'm literally working on a video of "revamping and organizing" some of my desk/ studio space and now I can see if any of these tips can be implemented before I finish!
So glad I came across this video. I have a separate channel for livestreaming and have been thinking of ways to really make my background more aesthetically pleasing and warm. Thanks Becki!
Exactly what I was looking for today!! Thank you
this is a very helpful video. love how you shoot and your style. keep up the great work!
I love the lighting !!
You just gave me so much hope and ignited so much passion in me.
Great tips. One of the best detailed videos I have seen.
Useful thanks! Now I just need to get a garage 😂
I've been wanting to watch this video since it came out, finally did, and loved it!!! We have a small office a short walk away from our apartment and have shot most of our UA-cam videos there. We were just chatting about perhaps moving one of our desks to the opposite wall (they're currently side by side) so that we can open the space up for either a UA-cam backdrop or small photoshoot space. This video gave me lots to think about and I'm looking forward to checking out the video you mentioned as well about finding your design style for UA-cam. Currently, there is *way* too much going on in the background of our videos, simply because it's our workspace. I loved how quickly you put together your tiny sample backdrop using the different types of wood and how you framed with some plants and the long tube bulb. It's great to know the F-stop you use, too. :) Thanks, Becki!
love your idea of furniture and setting marching up with your brand.
This couldn’t have come at a better time!!! thank you Becki!
This video is suuuuuuper helpful. Thanks, I never even thought about focusing on skin tones to help pick colors. Thank you!
250K Subscribers, yay!! Congrat. Love your channel. You guys are awesome. Love the content!
This was really helpful! Loved how you talked about multiple considerations for scenes. Thanks for sharing!
No lie. One hundred percent honesty right here: I've been waiting to officially create a UA-cam backdrop until I got some relevant ideas about maximizing my small office space. Then BAM! Becki and Chris to the rescue (with an assist from Gerald). Day made.
... thank you so much for creating the video I didn't know I needed or wanted until I saw it by accident... you're amazing.
Amazing as always. I'm exactly at the process of setting up youtube backdrop from greenscreen that I was using before. Thanks for the tips!
GREAT VID! So helpful. And that hair! Such a great color. Can’t wait to see the finished basement studio.
My new fav channel!! Thank you for your help and advice!😎
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! And you're Canadian to boot!! Woo-hoo!!
“I don’t like color”
*Dyes hair blue*
Loved the video! Thank you for the awesome tips!
Love the plywood, sitting on the floor, and using natural light. It doesn't have to be complicated! Boom 👊
This video is gold, thank you so much for all the tips, I am starting my second UA-cam channel and I just moved to a one bedroom apartment with my girlfriend and all I have to work with is a corner in our bedroom. I am excited for the challenge and this video got me even more excited
Dayum, this is perfect timing guys. Gracias and stay safe
Totally needed this video today! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this detailed tips! Just started youtube like 2 weeks ago. I was thinking about making my basement into a studio so this video will definitely be a great help for me to prepare my basement 😍
I love that you shopped your house for this and it looks so good. I can think of places and things in my house that I could apply these tips to and i haven't even finished furnishing my house let alone decorating. I'm sure that's what you were going for but: mission accomplished!! Thanks Becki!!
Thanks much!!
Excellent! Very much appreciate the video and points made. I'm currently fighting the learning curve battle with background choices for my video projects and this certainly helps!
Dude, this was so good! Love you guys, like. Woah..
I stumbled upon this video while eating some chipotle. This was well done, I appreciate your production value and the way you explained this setup.
Love ya guys. Happy New Year.
The lighting on this video 🤯🤯
I love this. So much info. Brilliant
You guys are super cool. Personally, I liked the look at f4. The out of focus was still soft enough while still showing the depth and texture you worked hard to create. Thanks for creating and sharing!
