No budget needed. Just a location reserved for the shoot, various pro lights, pro cameras, other misc gear, a car, parking and other misc expenses, plus the talent of course. Assuming as well you own a video editing PC + software and gear to handle video storage, etc. Otherwise no budget needed at all, only a few years worth of experience and skills shooting videos like this. Easy as pie. Just do it.

Right lol, you only need gear that takes years to acquire. In the end, networking wins? You may not end up paying cash for what you need, but you will make a trade for trade on something, like exposure. And how the hell do you get a location like that with no budget lol.
Lmao it’s filming the video with no budget not having no equipment. I have my own equipment but artist come to me and want a video for 100 bucks. Like what could you get for the video to make it dope with 100 and not get paid for it is basically what they are tryna pull of but with 0 dollars for the artist.
I think the difference between the old Indy Mogul and the new Indy Mogul is that the old Indy Mogul expected that you probably had a camera and maybe a light or two. New Indy Mogul expects you to have a camera, a gimbal, a few $1200 lights, a four man crew, and a 5000 super cool warehouse available.
Even as an amateur-mom-with-only-an-iphone11, I’m taking these tips bc I have a teen with a heart ❤️ the size of one ☝️ of those giant lights and talent the size of that super cool warehouse! Thanks 🙏.

@@pdot3972 It's more likely that people with no budget for an expensive production are using something cheap like the Canon Rebel series, so as viewers seeing the title of this video, we expected to be taught strategies for using a cheap camera and maybe some mediocre lights to get an acceptable result. Using expensive gear like these guys have absolutely disqualifies this as "budget."
@@shredforceone do you understand how expensive music videos tend to be? Between crew, equipment, and everything else? Between that and this, this is definitely a budget music video.
So this is definitely the Art Factory in Patterson, NJ. Did a shoot there back in October and it was a really awesome location. Unlimited potential and the catering is damn good.
Wow! I thought it was YC Imaging based off the thumbnail! To see Indy Mogul and YC Imaging doing a collab is AMAZING😭😲🤯 Now lemme grab some popcorn and watch this video🍿🍿
I directed a music video for my new single Jailhouse for about $500 using some hired led light bars and software pixel mapping. People don't believe me when they find out it wasn't a $10k+ job, but honestly you can do so much cool stuff if you just think outside the box and use your resources wisely. ☺️
We also shot a music video on a budget for a good friend. Our equipment: 5DM3, a tripod, crane 2, and 2 cheap battery-operated led lights. Basically shot in selected public locations. The biggest expense was probably a hotel room he wanted to splurge and stay in anyway. The car was owned by a friend, and we shot on the spot with me hanging from the back of a pick-up for it 😂😂😂 Uploaded a BTS of it if anybody's curious (video has english sub) 😁
Knew YC since he was in high school and watched him develop. I've always been a fan and still is. He is someone to learn from. It is great that you teamed up with him.
Yes yes yes....I wish more beginning filmmakers would realize what was mentioned at the end. Lighting is where all the money should go, not the camera. Buy the camera for features. But cinematic footage is 90% lighting (in my opinion....and yes, for those reading this....I know framing, and composition, and grading, etc all play a part too, but you understood my point 😀)
Okay, I enjoy the new episodes but there's something I have to point out here: this is not a no-budget shoot because the location, your camera rig and your lighting equipment are pricey. You already have access to all of them but most budget filmmakers don't. I felt the same with the background projection video, where you bought a cheap projector and then tossed a bunch of expensive lighting equipment in a definitely-not-free-studio to get the full effect. For me a no-budget shoot (pretty much every production I do) means no good locations and lighting everything with four CFL softboxes. I don't even have enough sandbags or extension cords for all four lights.
I'm loving this series, informative and positive while still keeping it real. I find at least once an episode I'm like "YUP that's exactly how it would go".
Amazing! Chrys really knows his craft and made a good video with no prep & very little equip & that takes a lot of skill, talent, knowledge, and imagination.

We make music videos at random locations, mostly with a cell phone and a gimbal. Probably the trickiest part is to deal with low light situations. Other than that, you need a nice location and somebody to hold the camera so you can have some movement in your shots.
This was one of the first video I've learned from. After a year of filming, I finally understand that nothing will go as planned. So i'm coming back to this video to show some love and that I understand you. Thank you! XD
So many artists think they need an expensive video for it to be high quality and it's not the turht! As long as you have some good gear and know how to work the camera right, you're set
Hi, I'm shooting my first music video for an artist and this video has been so informative, THANKYOU!!! One question. What frame rates are best for music videos? I'm thinking 24fps for the artist singing and 60fps for selected clips for slow mo?
Wow what a story! Bet that Artist wishes he'd made the plane now!! Trillionaire Daz comes through killin it!! Thx CHRIS... for some of your great secrets and expert advice, MINYU for great light setups. and last, TED for putting this together for all of us! ! Making music videos isn't as hard or scary as one might think... or as expensive 🎬
Y'all used way more equipment than the average photographer would have access to. You should have used a nice camera and 2 or 3 work lights from Lowes, that's low budget. Y'all up in a loft with lighting equipment that most people have never seen before ... Y'all should've filmed out in the street under sun light thats even more low budget! Also it was too much going on in the video, only studio gangsters do all that it there music videos. Should've had more of a street look to it. Looks kinda fake when you put it in perspective ...
So many valuable lessons to learn from this. Namely, one person's blunder is another person's opportunity. Talking about seizing the moment. Good on the fill in artist.
Thanks for the video, Some great advice / tips! So, how much was the rental at the studio? You said several times "...no budget..." but I'm guessing the studio cost something. Thanks Tim :)
Fatcalf Media that warehouse in Hoboken doesn’t really have many people in it using it. I use to do play rehearsals there with my crew and very few times did we actually have to book... could just show up.
its not hard even if you just have a camera. just go out find spots and film with what YOU have. you don't need much besides a camera, natrual lighting, and a pc with editing software. quit looking up videos on how to do something and go out and do it.
And a low budget car could still sell new for $14,000. But noooo!! It should be a $300 car right? THAT's low budget, right!! Low budget doesn't mean AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE.
I really vibe with this method, it's breaking the idea of filmmaking down to its bare essentials: a camera, some lights, and a subject, make something funky. The entourage shadows were aesthetic as fuck by the way, might need to steal that.
People love to over light the shit out of anything. TV is the worst. Nothing can be dim. Even a "pitch black" scene lit with torches is lit with a dozen light sources from every angle and a blue filter. Because rooms turn bright blue when the lights go off. For me "fantastic lighting" replicates how something would look in the environment shown to the audience. When I know people only have one dim bulb over their heads in an enclosed space. It totally throws me off seeing light sources from three other locations removing shadows from their face. When I see someone singing in a big budget music video in an old church for example. Dramatic shots of pale light creeping through stained glass then person in said church, lit completely differently to anything else. I just think it looks fake. It looks photoshopped, badly. The best images come from badass locations being dressed to appear on film how they do in life, or exaggerate an aspect of it. Not creating a photo studio on every single set in the world to remove all of natures lighting "imperfections".
no budget, no scouting yet manages to find a location with 2 big rooms. people would be paying a lot of money for locations like that. but good video still
I guess this gives "no budget" a whole new meaning: just a few thousand on equipment, a small crew of assistants, location rental...unless they broke-in, and travel expenses. 👋🏿🙄😞😔🙄😞😔🙄😞😔👎🏿
the gear plus transport and this location was not free this shoot cost $3000-$4000 min editing alone is another $1000 min $5000 for a music video is cheap but above many artist budget
I dont agree 1.) Dont try to be a "one man army" ! ....ask your network if you ask 4-6 people who are in the interest of making film/video there should be 3 lights and a couple of stands. 2.) I was involved in a shoot wherewe got a full equippet van from a rental house for free, because it wasa charity-projekt... the only thing is you have to give them a safety-fee of 5k euro, which you get back after reciving the stuff back. 3.) Dont know exactly but 3 ligths and a couple of stands should not be morethan 600euro a day in rental....but the safety-fee It only depends on your ability to work with stuff you get, and not only the stuffyou wishyou had to hand...just my opinion.
@@felixxmu1967 i was speaking about this video shoot . 1 example the lights these are not 110v you cant just run around gonzo with 5000w+ of lights i am sure if you were a film student you could do it for less i just priced what i saw even with your safety-fee you still need to have 5K to start .. and if your working with untrained "friends" for free it might cost you more than that. you need director / grip/ light guy / sound guy (4 people min) who is watching the gear??? who is watching the truck ..?? are you on the first floor ?? how many locations (teardown/setup) ?? that is min $2000 just to pay 4 people you can trust also don't forget your permit $600-$1700 cause if the cops get you they can seize your gear and fine you way more than that
Indy Mogul, 1M subs and you have time to reply to commenters. Good for you. I have spent a lot of time watching "how to" videos for making You Tube vids but now your information is on a much higher, worth while level. Thanks.
I don't know what you guys normally do for music vids, but where i come from we pay some solid cash for this kind of set up - the hipster location, a pro camera operator with a good camera and super duper soft lights. This is when we have solid budget.
I didn't know no budget means 4 aperture ls c300 lights , C-stands, a huge octobox, a warehouse rental with like 3-4 rooms. good to know that "no budget" means that. and host dude please stop smiling soooo much , makes you look fakely excited for everything that happens like a 12-year-old virgin.
How to film a video on a Budget? Proceeds to use a 700 $ gimbal and light the scene with an also very not low priced lamp. By the way , besides the camera , this are the only two things you need to buy to make a professional looking film... So yeah, this is not a low budget, because what you used to make that video is literally all you need to make a good looking movie xD
Hey Ted. I’ve only caught a few of your Indy Mogol vids so far, but have to say that I am digging it all. Digging, your vibe, the professionalism, the fun challenges. Keep it cracking
No budget - pulls out a light the size of the moon...
Anyway good tips, thanks :)
LMAO, I was thinking the same thing. I got a budget yet no light the size of the moon!
well, if you're already in film making, borrowing some from friends (like he did) is feasible and still counts as no budget.
He also used gimbal and spot lights and so on🙁
Haha, good one 👈🏾
It says "on a budget" not "no budget". Big difference. You can rent that light for like $50.
No budget needed. Just a location reserved for the shoot, various pro lights, pro cameras, other misc gear, a car, parking and other misc expenses, plus the talent of course. Assuming as well you own a video editing PC + software and gear to handle video storage, etc. Otherwise no budget needed at all, only a few years worth of experience and skills shooting videos like this.

New Indy Mogul expects you to have a camera, a gimbal, a few $1200 lights, a four man crew, and a 5000 super cool warehouse available.
I mean if you are serious about filmmaking, you probably gonna buy gimbal and some lights anyway. So those tips are actually very useful.
You want everyone to do videos on fucking iphones? Rent if you can't afford to buy.
To add, that warehouse is apparently known to be empty most of the time, so you can rent it out for very cheap afaik.
@@newskybox in nj though? you're looking at the same price as a lens for a rental for however long they shot there at least.
Even as an amateur-mom-with-only-an-iphone11, I’m taking these tips bc I have a teen with a heart ❤️ the size of one ☝️ of those giant lights and talent the size of that super cool warehouse! Thanks 🙏.
#tips music video
1. Flip Your Location
-(3-8 Sets)

2. Lighting
- hard light from behind
- forget the fill
- Color & Visual Interest
3. Camera tip

well said mate. A+ !
@@indymogul on those 3 shot types, do you do the whole track in each shot method and then edit together after?
good man
yes indeed
@Aran Rasekhi unnecessary
push in & pull back is only possible with a decent gimbal or?

So dope! Y'all killed every thing, super insightful 🙌🙌🙌
Hey, I recognize that guy.
YC is low key a genius
Was expecting like a Canon Rebel and walking around the streets... Great video, but not sure I'd call it "No Budget"
Michael Pohl you don’t like Canon Rebels lol?

good vibes man !
This video should have been called "How To Make a Music Video With No Planning" and not "on a Budget"! Still an interesting video none the less.
Ted, so great your involved with this channel. It’s exactly the spark that’s been missing lately

The hustle of it all.
Yes yes yes....I wish more beginning filmmakers would realize what was mentioned at the end. Lighting is where all the money should go, not the camera. Buy the camera for features.

I'd love to see a separate video on the editing process.
Yes. I want to see editing a music video!
I've been making extremely low budget music videos for years with varying results as far as exposure. I've been happy with the results creatively.
Okay, I enjoy the new episodes but there's something I have to point out here: this is not a no-budget shoot because the location, your camera rig and your lighting equipment are pricey.

No budget- Uses 5000$ Camera...
No budget is during the shoot.
But before the shoot, u still need a budget.
You cant rent gear like this for only a few hundred dollars.
Did you think they would be shooting on an iphone?
Facts 💯
Chester Ahgren just use a phone. if not rent things.
Its on a budget
great examples, awesome content
This was filmed at Art Factory Studios in Paterson, NJ.
Totally awesome place. Shot one there recently too
YCI is also here!!
In other words, No budget? just call all your rich friends with expensive gear and expensive warehouse and you are good.
So many artists think they need an expensive video for it to be high quality and it's not the turht! As long as you have some good gear and know how to work the camera right, you're set
Came for the warehouse, stayed for the Chris/YCImaging.
I love that you got ycimaging
This helped me so much, thanks!
You don’t even know how happy I am that Indy mogul is back. These new videos are great!
AMAZING. All of it!

One question. What frame rates are best for music videos? I'm thinking 24fps for the artist singing and 60fps for selected clips for slow mo?
Maz Nieviarovski yes you got it right, then edit and render your project in 24fps
Where do you even find artist to work with

Thanks for the video, Some great advice / tips!
So, how much was the rental at the studio? You said several times "...no budget..." but I'm guessing the studio cost something. Thanks Tim :)
Fatcalf Media that warehouse in Hoboken doesn’t really have many people in it using it. I use to do play rehearsals there with my crew and very few times did we actually have to book... could just show up.
Love YC, he's got a good personality. I just shot my first hip hop music vid last month, but I've been learning from him for a long time.
Chris is everywhere these days..Awesome Mogulism...
Most definitely is man
That's my man....
Ycimaging...he is a big inspiration
look at all that professional minimal gear. it's good to have low budget with high end gear - LOL
Love your videos and how you brought YC in to show us all how its done
There's nothing low budget about this when you're mentioning 1000+ worth of equipment. Gimbals and expensive light gtfoh
I'm saying
They needa retitle the video
That's very misleading 🙄😒
its not hard even if you just have a camera. just go out find spots and film with what YOU have. you don't need much besides a camera, natrual lighting, and a pc with editing software. quit looking up videos on how to do something and go out and do it.
And a low budget car could still sell new for $14,000. But noooo!! It should be a $300 car right? THAT's low budget, right!!
Low budget doesn't mean AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE.
@@jonothandoeser Thank you for saying this. People in the comments are wanting things for 20 dollars. Sorry it don't work like that.
facts and he had to rent those spaces in that building i use to hang there alot
I really vibe with this method, it's breaking the idea of filmmaking down to its bare essentials: a camera, some lights, and a subject, make something funky.
The entourage shadows were aesthetic as fuck by the way, might need to steal that.
You forgot to explain how we get a good location like that with no/low budget LOL 😂
I just made a music video with my mate. ZERO dollars. Doesn’t look half bad :)

Filming a Music Video on a Budget - easily £8000 equipment used if not more! lol
they dont own it i guess...
Hahahahahah Truth. LOL @ 1:58! I am so honored that you feel our pain.
I'm going to use a $45 smartphone
We just released our first ever music video yesterday. Spent about $100 on it total. It was really hard but we're really proud of it too 😁
I guess this gives "no budget" a whole new meaning: just a few thousand on equipment, a small crew of assistants, location rental...unless they broke-in, and travel expenses.
👋🏿🙄😞😔🙄😞😔🙄😞😔👎🏿
Thanks for the tips. I need to make a few of my song videos in a budget too.
the gear plus transport and this location was not free this shoot cost $3000-$4000 min editing alone is another $1000 min $5000 for a music video is cheap but above many artist budget
I dont agree
1.) Dont try to be a "one man army" ! ....ask your network if you ask 4-6 people who are in the interest of making film/video there should be 3 lights and a couple of stands.
2.) I was involved in a shoot wherewe got a full equippet van from a rental house for free, because it wasa charity-projekt... the only thing is you have to give them a safety-fee of 5k euro, which you get back after reciving the stuff back.
3.) Dont know exactly but 3 ligths and a couple of stands should not be morethan 600euro a day in rental....but the safety-fee
It only depends on your ability to work with stuff you get, and not only the stuffyou wishyou had to hand...just my opinion.
@@felixxmu1967 i was speaking about this video shoot .
1 example the lights these are not 110v
you cant just run around gonzo with 5000w+ of lights
i am sure if you were a film student you could do it for less
i just priced what i saw
even with your safety-fee you still need to have 5K to start ..
and if your working with untrained "friends" for free
it might cost you more than that.
you need director / grip/ light guy / sound guy (4 people min)
who is watching the gear??? who is watching the truck ..??
are you on the first floor ?? how many locations (teardown/setup) ??
that is min $2000 just to pay 4 people you can trust
also don't forget your permit $600-$1700
cause if the cops get you they can seize your gear and fine you way more than that
Indy Mogul, 1M subs and you have time to reply to commenters. Good for you. I have spent a lot of time watching "how to" videos for making You Tube vids but now your information is on a much higher, worth while level. Thanks.
Niiiice
I don't know what you guys normally do for music vids, but where i come from we pay some solid cash for this kind of set up - the hipster location, a pro camera operator with a good camera and super duper soft lights. This is when we have solid budget.
Whats the name of that big softbox?

Super dope video! The lighting effect you guys pulled off with the homies in the back was really creative
I didn't know no budget means 4 aperture ls c300 lights , C-stands, a huge octobox, a warehouse rental with like 3-4 rooms. good to know that "no budget" means that. and host dude please stop smiling soooo much , makes you look fakely excited for everything that happens like a 12-year-old virgin.
Yeah, and should have focused more on content and gear, not putting himself in focus so much. But overall many good tips.
Helge Heyerdahl right ?
thanks a lot fo sharing! it helped me a lot for my first music video! Finally released it after endless hour work :) super low budget !
How to film a video on a Budget?
Proceeds to use a 700 $ gimbal and light the scene with an also very not low priced lamp.
By the way , besides the camera , this are the only two things you need to buy to make a professional looking film...
So yeah, this is not a low budget, because what you used to make that video is literally all you need to make a good looking movie xD
700 bucks is nothing.
That's like half a lens.
Hey Ted. I’ve only caught a few of your Indy Mogol vids so far, but have to say that I am digging it all. Digging, your vibe, the professionalism, the fun challenges.
Keep it cracking
