  • 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!

    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. 🤓🤣🤦‍♂️

    • @BeckiandChris
      @BeckiandChris  3 роки тому +30

      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!

    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 also gives me a ton to consider when designing the new space from scratch. :)

    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!
