    Today, we visit Erik’s workshop to discover what he’s been making for the past few years and how you can start DIY filmmaking today.
    Erik talks to us about making high-end branded content after Indy Mogul. He tells us what every filmmaker needs to have in their tool bag. We also cover DIY lighting solutions and how to shape it with the things you can find in every hardware store. Finally, we break down the elephant in the room - Erik’s DIY motion control rig that he made for less than $3,000.
    Check out Erik’s old but gold DIY build videos and more on this channel: bit.ly/2VryMmx

    I really like the ad countdown timer in the corner. I'm not sure why, but it makes the ad read more tolerable somehow. Maybe it's just because it makes it feel finite and therefore survivable. Either way, just wanted to call out that tiny but appreciated detail

    Old monitors make a great housing for DIY lights if you're working with LED strips. They have 3+ layers of diffusion, as well as a really cool fresnel lens layer. The LEDS can be placed right in front, while all the wiring just hangs out in the back. The aluminum panel inside even acts like a heat sink.

    A lot of people to this day still don't have that kind of money to have 3D printers or high-tech gear.
    the whole purpose of DIY is to make things with little or no money! That is what this channel was built on!

    Lol. Just this past weekend pricing out PVC for a backdrop/green screen. An OK on Amazon was cheaper than the PVC itself would cost.
