What is going on everyone? Welcome

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:09.599
been here before, another episode,
if you've never been here before, the
3
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.119
very first episode of creating daily.
I'm your host, Billy Thorpe, and
4
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:18.079
I'm super excited to be back in
the saddle. I've been gone a little
5
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.719
bit from creating daily as I've been
moving and building a new studio space and
6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.359
all that kind of fun stuff,
and so I'm excited about today's episode.
7
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.280
Here in just a moment I'm gonna
be bringing on my friend June eight from
8
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.240
the home studio mastery dot com.
He's a man. Wait till you see
9
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.920
the studio. I got a little
sneak peek because he was setting up cameras
10
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.640
and lights and I'm like, Oh
man, I guess so much. I
11
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.799
guess so much gas, I guess
so much gear Acquisition Syndrome is what they
12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.719
call it. Okay, so Um, but I'm pretty excited. You know,
13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.719
hopefully my wife doesn't want hopefully my
wife watches this but doesn't like get
14
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.960
on to me about all the notes
I'll be taking of gear that I want.
15
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.399
And also we are streaming both to
mine and June aid's Amazon because we're
16
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.520
gonna be talking about a lot of
different products, so we thought it'd be
17
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.680
nice to have those available. And
if you're watching on ritual motion, you're
18
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.400
watching on Youtube or facebook or Linkedin
or wherever, there should be a link
19
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.159
fairly close to you. If not, could Amazon dot com slash live and
20
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.560
you can see both of our streams
on their probably, I'm pretty sure,
21
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.680
I don't know. Anyway, or
ask me for the link and I will
22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.920
drop in the chat. But before
I jump into it, do you want
23
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.319
to give a shout out to our
new sponsor, ritual motion? UH,
24
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.799
they're awesome company. I've been collaborating
with them for a few months and we
25
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.239
decided to make it more serious and
they wanted to sponsor the show and I
26
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.439
wanted them to sponsor the show.
Um, and we're gonna be working together
27
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.599
closely to help their creator community.
Um. And so it's awesome to be
28
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.519
partner with ritual motion. They're they're
kind of like a unique position. It's
29
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.519
kind of like if twitch and zoom
had a baby. Um, this is
30
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.319
this is what they this is what
they do. Um. And they're also
31
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:56.280
really into like immerged into like web
three. So think about like the intersection
32
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.480
of community, the Creator Economy and
the emergence of web three, and that
33
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.000
is where emotion and part of their
goal is to help creators monetized, but
34
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.159
then also like creators, but then
also consumers monetized through decentralized tokens and or
35
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:15.479
decentralized economy and tokenized economy. I
guess I'm not really into like N F
36
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.159
T S and Web threes and all
that, but they are and they're dropping
37
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.680
one. I won't jump over here
real quick and show it to you.
38
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.719
kind of cool. It's black bots
N F T so if you're into N
39
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.520
F T S, go check that
out. Black BOTS UH WITH A Z
40
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.840
B O B L O C K
B O t z dot io. Go
41
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.599
check that out. I think it's
dropping. They're starting to minke those in
42
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.120
a couple of days. So if
you're if you're into that, go check
43
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.280
it out. I think I'm getting
one. I think I'm getting one,
44
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.360
obviously, since someone part of their
community. There's only gonna be five thousand
45
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.919
of them, so go over there
and get one and you can go check
46
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.280
it out. Black bots dot io
for all the latest information on that.
47
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.280

51
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.039
being so excited to have him on
the show. Um, and I actually
52
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.039

00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.159
got to built for the past couple
years. Yeah, man, it is
59
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:43.199
incredible what you've built and I'm always
looking to to you and some other creators

00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.000
What's in the background? What's all
this Um? But it's really cool
62
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.919
to see the setup that you have, so I'm really excited to jump into
63
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.039
that and for people who are watching
us on Amazon, they're gonna get a
64
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.199
chance to check out your caresel,
which once again, if you're my community
65
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.520
and you're on one of my personal
pages, go check out the show notes
66
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.759
and go to June eights. And
I also have a care sell up as
67
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.599
well in case I talked about some
products that I'll be using. Um.
68
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.520
But yeah, man, excited to
have you on and excited to talk about
69
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.599
you know, how do you build
this home studio? But my first question
70
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.040
for you really, and we'll just
jump right in, is like why should
71
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.240
I care about, you know,
building any kind of studio? I can't
72
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.680
just turn on my Webcam, turn
on my lamp and uh and go from
73
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.680
there. Why should I be,
you know, concerned about it? Well,
74
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.560
I love that question because yes,
you can turn the camera on and
75
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:39.480
turn your lamp on, have some
lighting and start talking, but a lot
76
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:45.720
of the times we are not confident
enough and how we show up on camera.
77
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.360
So building a studio is like Putt
putting on your best slacks, best
78
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:54.360
suit on when you show up at
the party. That's what's setting up studio
79
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.680
literally means, because you care about
what you look like, you care about
80
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.959
what you delivered, the messaging.
So setting up your studio literally means that
81
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:11.240
you're spending it, spending some time
spending some dough on what you look like
82
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.800
on camera. So video quality.
It also builds up your confidence. Did
83
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:25.720
you know in there were more plastic
surgeries than in the past ten years?
84
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.839
What? That's crazy. More surgeries
in the last than the last ten years.
85
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:39.720
Everybody's looking at themselves in zoom like
Oh, okay, that makes sense.
86
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.079
Yet you know what, and I
think there was a part of like
87
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.040
I just lost since November like sixty
pounds and, if I have to be
88
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.079
roll honest, that was a part
of it, man, that was part
89
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.639
of it. was like steering at
myself in a camera all day or my
90
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.279
you know, my monitor, and
and I was going, man, this
91
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.160
is supposed to be a confidence monitor, but I'm not confident at all,
92
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.279
Um. So I love the answer
to that. You know, I I'm
93
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.120
very similar in that situation where I'm
like man, I just want my studio
94
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.879
look great. It's kind of part
of the reason why I'm using the green
95
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.319
screen right now is I just didn't
have the right background. I'm just still
96
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.519
trying to like think through it.
And then I was, you know,
97
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.199
watching another podcast with the green screen. I'm like, you know what,
98
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.079
that's kind of quirky and cool.
And you know a little bit of my
99
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.959
style as well, just trying to
be funny and and add a little levity
100
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.360
to the conversation. Um, I
mean, so when you when we're talking
101
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.240
about home studios, because when I
have some creators watching over here, you
102
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.959
know, either here on ritual motion
or Amazon, when they're watching this and
103
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.720
they're going, man, I mean
look at June's. First of all,
104
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.240
we get a studio. It's awesome, like it just looks amazing. He's
105
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.399
got all the amazing things there,
the lights, the cameras, the action.
106
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.959
So when you walked into that room
for the first time, or when
107
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.560
you walk into a room or you
see pictures or videos of your clients,
108
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.680
what's kind of like the first thing
that you're really trying like? What's the
109
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.600
first what's step one? Are you
trying to identify? When you do that?
110
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.519
Is it lighting? Audio sound like? What does that look like?
111
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.600
The first thing that we do is
we can figure out the lighting situation,
112
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.639
because some rooms might have no windows
and they're like, all right, it's
113
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.319
a blank slate and some rooms might
have windows, maybe two sets of windows,
114
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.560
maybe three sets and windows on three
walls. So you gotta take that
115
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.639
into account. Before you go and
jump into and figuring out. Okay,
116
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.839
where's the camera gonna go? You
don't want bright lights looking at the camera,
117
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.759
just like we just like how we
don't like looking to the sun.
118
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.959
The cameras don't like looking into the
sun either. So I gotta figure out
119
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.720
what the windows are, because windows
are free lights for us. If you
120
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:48.680
use windows and you set up a
a plain sheet of white sheet, it's
121
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:54.439
it basically brings in the softest light
that you can get for free. Right.
122
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.600
So the first thing that we do
to figure out the lighting situation.
123
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:05.240
Number two is audio, because without
people being able to see you, now
124
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.439
that they can see you because you're
taking care of the lighting, well,
125
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:13.040
I guess what. Now they want
to be able to hear you. Okay,
126
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.360
I'm talking and you can't hear me, people will immediately start commenting like
127
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.399
we can't hear you, we can't
turn the microphone on, you're on mute,
128
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:31.439
right. So microphone and audio is
the second step that I walk them
129
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.559
through. Once you have lighting and
and they can hear you, they can
130
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.120
see you, we'll good to go. You can deliver your message, people
131
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.559
can hear you, people can take
your message in. Okay, so,
132
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.799
so we're looking at lighting first and
then and then we're looking at audio.
133
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.320
So let's talk about a little bit
about lighting, because man, you got
134
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.159
I mean you're lighting is amazing and
I love it's you know, it's like
135
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.440
that to me. It looks very
cinematic and I know, I know just
136
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.320
from being, you know, someone
who's from cameras, that has some to
137
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.759
do with the Lens. But I've
been told, and I've kind of seen
138
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.279
this personally here in my studio,
it's not really about the you can have
139
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.879
the greatest camera and the greatest Lens, but if you don't have a really
140
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.080
good lighting it's just not going to
do it justice. So maybe maybe walk
141
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.519
us through and you know, you
get your Amazon crowd over there fired up
142
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.200
as well. So maybe let's walk
through some of your lighting set up and
143
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.320
kind of walk me through that.
Absolutely. So, if I were to
144
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.879
go just like you mentioned earlier,
you can have the best camera in the
145
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.799
world and if you don't have good
lighting, well you're just gonna look like
146
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.240
normal Joe Shmo. So this is
my setup with that, with just the
147
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.879
overhead lights when I'm working, when
I'm you know, and it still looks
148
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.320
like better than most zoom calls I've
seen the last couple of years. So
149
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.840
right. So what what I started
with this room is I first turn off
150
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.960
all the lights and turned the camera
and like okay, what is the camera
151
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.200
seat? Well, the first thing
we need is we need to make that
152
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.960
we're lighting the talent. So I
have the main light up here, to
153
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.039
the flat panel led light, and
then I'm like, okay, we need
154
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.200
we need a little more light.
This is kind of dark, you know.
155
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.440
So then I added another light on
the side, which basically lights up
156
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.240
a little bit of my background,
more of me. You know, you
157
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.879
get that dynamic dynamics and whatnot.
And then over time I was like,
158
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.679
okay, let me add some lights
on my shelf. So I added some
159
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.639
lights on my shelf. I'm like, okay, this looks so cool.
160
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.440
And then I was still getting lost
in the background because you could see my
161
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.200
hair is blindinging in, blending into
the background. So then I added some
162
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:46.120
hair light. Now this added not
only you're lighting to my hair, but
163
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.000
also my shoulders some. Now this
is the three point lighting that I talked
164
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.799
about. Yeah, the main light, you have got hair light and if
165
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.679
you've got a key light, just
to light up the whole set, whole
166
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.399
of your talent. And then the
last thing that I added was a flood
167
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:05.320
light. This flood light is meant
for outdoors, lighting up your home,
168
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.600
and I was like Hey, this
is pretty cheap and it I can just
169
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.919
light up my bookshelf just using this
cheap little device. And that's basically I
170
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.759
just had five different lights set up
in my studio. Yeah, man,
171
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.879
I love it. So, so
you're using and I'm doing similar. I'm
172
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.080
doing a key light. Um,
I have a little bit of a fill
173
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.519
light, which sometimes I just use
this big soft box like to get this
174
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.279
real soft feel. I mean it's
it's probably maybe too big, I don't
175
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.480
even know. Um, and I'm
kind of doing it from a forty five
176
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.000
degrees and it's hot and I'm doing
mine pretty high. I'm doing it,
177
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.639
you know, I've seen some people
put them right behind their desk, but
178
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.120
I'm doing mine pretty high. What's
the position? I would say the higher
179
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.480
you can go the better, mainly
because you want you want the lights that
180
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:56.960
you're setting up to mimic daylight,
to mimic the sun, because when you're
181
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.399
outside the sun is not coming directly
in. Fron you try to avoid that.
182
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.519
It's coming way up above and if
it's cloudy out there, guess what,
183
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.039
it's going to be even cleaner when
that's happening. Okay, yeah,
184
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.879
I mean that's what that's what I
can and I kind of learned lighting from
185
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.679
a friend of mine who's a photographer, and that's where I really, you
186
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.840
know, started to learn some of
the stuff out as far as lighting goes.
187
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.639
So so you get your you get
your key lie, you got a
188
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.080
little bit of a fill light.
Now is it the same size as your
189
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.879
key line? Are you're doing the
same brightness and and all that on the
190
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:35.440
same two different I have two different
lights. The light in front of me
191
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.200
is a square, probably twelve inch
by twelve inch um on one FT by
192
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.759
one FT panel. So initially it
was just a panel and then it comes
193
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.120
with this plastic diffuser, which you
can only do so, which only goes
194
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.120
so far. So then I added
another level of diffusion as well as a
195
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.759
grit. So if I switched to
my rear view, anrest. So here's
196
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:07.440
my front light. So I can't
tell the temperature or how hot, how
197
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.559
hot, it is, but it's
it's light enough to light me up.
198
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.960
Then on this side is actually a
much bigger box, which is probably at
199
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.559
percent. So it's not even fully
blown, it is a much bigger light.
200
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.519
It's further away. So creating that
softness as if, you know,
201
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.600
I'm sitting outside or I'm sitting with
some really nice soft lights. Yeah,
202
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.840
man, I love that. I
love that. Um, there's and I
203
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.120
guess that's the thing, man,
because I've used some of those panel lights
204
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.960
too and it is like, Oh, these are too harsh, and so
205
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.080
you kind of when you and I
don't even know if I knew the difference
206
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.840
until I purchased the difference and I'm
like, Oh, wow, okay,
207
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.320
this is like way softer. It
looks more, you know, cinematic,
208
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.200
and if I didn't have a green
screen behind me, I would use way
209
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.960
less light because I really do love
that, you know, more cinematic approach,
210
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.559
cinematic look, Um, so so
and now that you've kind of set
211
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.320
your lighting, so I love it. So step one light the subject in
212
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.120
the dark room, which I need
to I need to actually reado. I
213
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.519
just moved to a new studio space. I need to Redo that. I'M
214
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.080
gonna I'm gonna think about that.
I love going from scratch because like okay,
215
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.759
I can do everything I want.
So the next to Yeo that I'm
216
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.360
working on is my workshop, because
I like, I like to build,
217
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.879
you know, I like to work
on wood projects and I love to work
218
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.080
on different things. So that's my
next project that I'm working on, and
219
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:33.080
lighting was the first thing that I
so I've got at least Um sixteen lights
220
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.399
in there, all overhead lights.
So basically the entire ceiling is lit up
221
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:43.000
so that everything is evenly lit and
it's it's not a pretty soft light as
222
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.440
well. Now, are you using
that that space to like shoot like product
223
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.360
videos and that type of stuff,
or what do you how are you nizing
224
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.519
in the combination, it's gonna be
product videos. Um Time laps of me
225
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.240
and my kids building some legos sets. So you can see I've got a
226
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.399
couple of legos that's sitting behind me, just waiting on the studio for that
227
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.360
space to be, you know,
ready before we start building these things.
228
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.919
Got You. That's awesome, man. So we talked a little bit about
229
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.720
lighting and then the next thing,
and sorry, I'm kind of doing this
230
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.679
like maybe it's a little bit boring, but I was like man, people,
231
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.799
you know, sometimes it's like just
tell me what I need to do,
232
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.320
tell me what I need to know. So it's more of like a
233
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.440
little step by step twotorial here.
Um. But the next thing, next
234
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.000
thing you talked about was like audio, and I kind of you know,
235
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.399
my mentality around this is the same
thing. Like I can have the world's
236
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.720
greatest microphone or whatever. The podcast. You know, you have the seven
237
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.519
B right here, but if I
don't have a really good space, it's
238
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.399
real echo. It doesn't really matter
what kind of microphone. So how are
239
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.240
you sound? How you sound treating
or sound proofing your space, like,
240
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.159
what do you what's the first step
of getting good audio, I guess besides
241
00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:00.879
the microphone. So once you have
a good microphone, I know condenser mics
242
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:06.559
are really popular, but dynamic microphones
do a really good job, especially if
243
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.320
you might have noise around you.
So the second thing that I do is
244
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.799
you've got the good microphone that you
can't really see, Um, what I've
245
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.039
got on my my walls over here, but if I switched to lights,
246
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.720
I have panels in front of me, I have panels above me. That
247
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:29.519
absorbs the sound because I'm talking in
this direction. And then hold on me.
248
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.000
Necessarily so you can see the back
of me. Um over here.
249
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:38.320
I've got several things on this wall. Now, I it'Ds a flat wall.
250
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.399
So having several things on the wall
also breaks down the sound. It
251
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.879
also breaks down the pattern of how
the sound is going to bounce back.
252
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.919
Now there might be a little bit
of Echo in my room, but because
253
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:59.840
I've got carpeting, I've got ceiling
and I've got my walls covered, it's
254
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:04.240
a lot better than it was when
I first moved into the space. Yeah,
255
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.519
man, I just moved into a
new space as well and it was
256
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:12.480
well, I guess. Yeah,
so I moved in. It's like a
257
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:18.559
thirteen by fourteen room. It has
like fifteen foot high ceilings and dude INSENS
258
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.680
and and the it's a warehouse style, so it goes right up to the
259
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:26.799
metal roof. Like there's no insulation
or dropped down ceiling. And so when
260
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.680
I walked into the room, my
approach to to build, you know,
261
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.519
building a few studios and nothing,
you know, nothing with a giant budget.
262
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.799
So it wasn't like I was hiring
the pros to come in, but
263
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.960
I came in and like started talking
and I can hear myself echoing I'm like,
264
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.000
and you might be able to hear
it still a little bit Um.
265
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.440
And that's when I went and got
some big room dividers and actually climbed up
266
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.400
in the ceiling in and basically have
them kind of made a little little makeshift
267
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.440
dropped down ceiling with these giant pieces
of fabric and it's really been, you
268
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.559
know, like a game changer.
And then I hung some, you know,
269
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.480
giants, sound I'll call them sound
blankets, but they're really just like
270
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.920
quilts from Walmart or whatever. Right. Yeah, yeah, so I think
271
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.720
that's another thing too. And then
like any kind of Um, you know,
272
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.839
underneath the door, like you know
a lot of sound coming from the
273
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.079
door, especially if you have young
kids like we do. Um, maybe
274
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.400
like a little weather strip or stripping
on the door, something like that as
275
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.799
well. Do you do any of
that kind of stuff? Is like that?
276
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.359
I have some of that as well. Yes, so, blocking under
277
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.519
the door, and then sometimes I'll
even put a blanket in front of the
278
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:40.680
door inside so when you enter you
see a blanket like what's going so kind
279
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.839
of blocked the sound before it,
you know, gets to that microphone.
280
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.200
Yeah, I mean, you know
what I think it's so funny. I
281
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.039
was watching, Um, you know, I don't get off topic a little
282
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.160
bit here, but one of my
favorite shows is an MTV show called catfish,
283
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:59.240
and so I watched this show and
I noticed like the little quirky things
284
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.440
that we do, because, you
know, sometimes if I look at your
285
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.440
if I look at your full production
here, I'm going wow, man,
286
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.599
this guy is this thing is so
legit, like he's got everything together and
287
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.559
everything is in perfect place and it
just looks so, you know, professional.
288
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.920
And then I'm watching this MTV show
and I noticed they got a laptop
289
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.960
up on some pillows, they got
stuff the duct taped to the to the
290
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.000
glass on the car and all this
kind of stuff. And so I think
291
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.799
for a lot of people who are
watching the stream right now, are watching
292
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.039
the replay later, it's not really
about going out and just spending, you
293
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.960
know, because you've been building the
studio for two years almost so and I've
294
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.279
seen kind of the progression, because
I followed you, of different, you
295
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.799
know, different elements, and so
Um, maybe let's read, you know,
296
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.759
kind of readwind a little bit,
because I don't want people to look
297
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.799
at your setup and go my Gosh, man, I gotta go Max out
298
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.839
my credit card, Um, but
talk to me about that when you first
299
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.720
started building it, because you know, the blankets, the you know,
300
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.480
tacking stuff on the wall, all
this kind of stuff matters. So,
301
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.839
uh, you know, for people
watching, I don't want them to think
302
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.559
like I can't do this because I
gotta go spend ten grand. Well,
303
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:08.039
I think of it as Um,
a investment in a place that would where
304
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.680
you're going to be spending con where
you're going to be spending a lot of
305
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:18.480
time creating content for Your Business,
for Your Entrepreneurship as an entrepreneur. It
306
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.839
is an investment in the business,
right. So it's tax rat it's tax
307
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.759
rat football. But before I even
got started, I just had a simple
308
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:33.759
setup in my room where I could
come in and just work on those stuff
309
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.799
that I'm working on, with covid
hitting in and we're going remote. I
310
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.279
was like, okay, something's got
to give. I need to set up
311
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.799
the space so then I can present
and I can be in front of the
312
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.880
camera. And it didn't really hit
me till I started watching Pat Flynn on
313
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.839
youtube creating these live streams every single
day, right, and he shared an
314
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.839
article after a couple of weeks like
hey, hey guys, this is what
315
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.480
I'm using in my studio. I'm
like, okay, let me take a
316
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.519
look and this blog and as I'm
reading this blog post I see that I've
317
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.400
got eight of the gear, mainly
because I come from a film background.
318
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:18.720
I've been doing film and short films
and documentaries for the past decade. So
319
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.599
I've had the gear to put together. Now did I spend more money?
320
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.519
Of course, because putting stuff together, initially I just had my desk in
321
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:34.240
the middle and I had tripods on
either side holding these cameras and there was
322
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:38.319
not a lot of walking space.
So over time I upgraded. I'll learned
323
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:44.559
from other people like these allar video
shooter, Pat Flynn himself. There's a
324
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:49.000
live streaming pros. There's a ton
of people in the space that are teaching
325
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.279
this stuff and I was like hey, this is pretty cool. So I
326
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:59.640
started taking that knowledge and modifying based
on what I already knew and started putting
327
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.960
my up together. And as I
got deeper and deeper into it, I
328
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.839
was like, Oh, I can
add this thing. But to start off,
329
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.799
it all comes down to being confident
in front of the camera and the
330
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:18.839
only way to get confident or build
that confidence up is to have conversations like
331
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:26.680
this one. And so in from
that one year I spent at least recorded
332
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.200
about a hundred episodes from my podcast
hacks and hobbies, and that's where this
333
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.799
all started from. Right. So
I have about we're in season four right
334
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:40.640
now and I've had a ton of
conversation. But before I started I had
335
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:42.240
no idea how to tell a story. I had no idea what I would
336
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.400
talk about. Right I'm like,
Oh, I know this and this and
337
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.240
this, but the more I listened
to other people tell stories, the better
338
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:55.920
I got in telling my own story
and weaving into, uh, these stories
339
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.880
my personal life, my experience and, you know, bringing all of that
340
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.799
stuff together. So it's been it's
been a journey for sure, and it's
341
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.240
a it's an ongoing journey. There's
there's things getting at it in this studio
342
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.519
all the time. Things taken out
all the time. Right. Um,
343
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:17.720
I had this second camera which is
kind of froze on this screen right now.
344
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.720
It's it's my phone right now.
Usually I would have a diesel lot
345
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:26.640
camera. I just sold that two
days ago because I want to replace that.
346
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:32.240
Right. So things are coming into, things are going out because it's
347
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.359
an evolution, just like we change. We go from middle school to high
348
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.319
school to College. You can't stay
in college for a long period of time
349
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.279
without seeing change, because then it's
like okay, it's we're not going anywhere.
350
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.240
Yeah, well, yeah, man. I think that's you know,
351
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.680
and I think that's important for people
to understand. Like what you said,
352
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.160
and I'll just double down on it, is that your studio space and and
353
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.119
probably even your production like I know, like creating daily is a live streaming
354
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.799
of podcast. It started one place
and now it's changed a whole lot.
355
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.400
I mean it's changed dramatically since I
started it just a few months ago.
356
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.240
So it's kind of you know,
it's like it's like going pretty quickly and
357
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.079
it can't be afraid of that change. You know. It's Um similar to
358
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.240
to my setup. Man, I
was running cannon dslr Cameras, the U
359
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.720
S R P and, you know, a thirty five millimeter macro Lens,
360
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.039
and it was pretty cool and it
looked all great and cinematic, but it
361
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.559
wouldn't do it wouldn't do this,
it wouldn't like auto focus on a product,
362
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:36.599
and so I'm like, Oh,
I want to focus on yeah,
363
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.519
yeah, like I want to focus
on Amazon live, and I'm seeing all
364
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:44.440
these Sony people just like ripping these
Sony's and they're like doing all this fun
365
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.079
stuff. I'm like, Oh man, you know, I gotta fix this,
366
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.160
and so I did that. I
mean, let's jump into your camera
367
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.160
set up now. I know you
just told me you sold one, but
368
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.400
what are you using? Oh,
I talked trash about Canada. Here it
369
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:03.640
is. I know it's a slow
focus, because it's it's you know,
370
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.880
it's a macro lens and that's that's
what I'm using, a music and us
371
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.319
are with a thirty five fl and
eight, and that's why my background is
372
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:17.680
buttery smooth. But it's also it's
it's it's also a nice large sensor.
373
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.440
You know, if I had a
faster lens then it might switch quicker,
374
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:29.039
but that's fine. I'm here to
teach Um and for product photography. I
375
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:34.279
usually have a camera hanging up pointing
down. Usually, Um, it's hooked
376
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.240
up, but it's not. It's
on. It's not in today because,
377
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.240
you know, I got rid of
a couple of gear and going to be
378
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.960
bringing in additional gear to then,
you know, wire through all of this
379
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:49.359
equipment. But I've been I've been
using cannon gear for quite some time,
380
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:56.559
but there was a time where I
was I was using Sony cameras mostly the
381
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:03.279
the the point you shoot cameras from
way back, twenty years ago, okay,
382
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:08.079
got and at some at some point
I switched over Um when I went
383
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:14.440
to the dslar model, and I
know that Sony has had the mirroralists and
384
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.039
I was like, Oh, when
are you going to get mirroralists cameras,
385
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.599
you know, cannon? And finally
when they hit, when they you know,
386
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:26.519
got they got the USR. I
would like jumping on it. So
387
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:32.240
now I have two e s RS
in my studio. I'm getting a set,
388
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:38.960
getting a third one um next week
and then another one for product photography
389
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.960
to motor on top. I just
like to keep it in the same family.
390
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.799
Just makes it easier for me to
switch lenses. Now now I could,
391
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.000
I can switch to a new family, but over time, you know,
392
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.200
it's all it's all about what are
you comfortable with and you know,
393
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.960
go with that. Yeah, man, I agree, and that's what I
394
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.519
was on. I was doing cannon
and once again I was consulting with a
395
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:10.079
my photographer friend, and so he
shoots with an R and R Five,
396
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:11.799
R six, I don't know.
He's got all kinds of stuff and Um,
397
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.160
and so I got the RP and
got all these lenses and and man,
398
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.920
it was awesome. And then I
literally, just a couple of weeks
399
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.960
ago, sold off, you know, the camera a couple of lenses and
400
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.359
replaced them. Actually was just point
and shoot cameras, which is the zv
401
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.799
one, and I was trying to
get the z the ZV Eatin, but
402
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:32.839
they were all out of stock everywhere. I'm like, I'm not wait,
403
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:34.119
I can't wait, I can't wait, I need these, you know.
404
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.440
Um, so that's when I got. Now I get a couple of those,
405
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.720
I'll probably add the the eaton to
the mix because I do like the
406
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.920
ability to switch camera lenses and I
do like a I wish that's still in
407
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.160
what is I think that's still like
a crop Sensor Lens. So so this
408
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.640
one's even. This one's really small
and I got it fully wide open at
409
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.759
one point. Eight aperture just too
you know, like my dark space here.
410
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.279
So it's not the greatest for dark
spaces, but I do like it
411
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.240
quite a bit, Um man.
So we talked a little bit about lighting,
412
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.240
a little bit about cameras, a
little bit about soundproofing. Um,
413
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:14.200
when you are setting up like your
microphone, is it important that people who
414
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.839
are just getting started like go ahead
and get an interface and get a dynamic
415
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.359
mic and all that kind of stuff? What do you recommend your clients,
416
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.920
your your Newbie, we'll go newby
around your newbie clients. They don't know
417
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.519
anything what kind of microphones you're gonna
recommend to them. So I recommend anything
418
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.680
that's really easy to use. And
I've been using I know I used when
419
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.480
I jumped in and a ton of
people when they jumped into space, they've
420
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.640
been using the eat the Yeti right
and I was like okay, yet he's
421
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.440
working for me. And then finally
I switched over to the shore MV Seven
422
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.759
and sure only seven has dual interface. You can either plug it into an
423
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:55.759
interface or plug this directly into your
computer using the USB. So it just
424
00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:00.400
makes it really simple and, uh, you know, really simple bill set
425
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:03.519
up, because I don't want to
spend I don't want people spending time in
426
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:08.160
troubleshooting problems. You and I were
experts. We you know, we deal
427
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.480
with but if I have a client
coming in and like hey, just tell
428
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.960
me what to get. I don't
want to do research, I just want
429
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.039
to I wanted to be able to
plug and play. So that's where I
430
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:26.440
recommend go to showing me seven.
It's a New York uh microphone. It's
431
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.440
you know, it's got the heritage
from the SM seven B. You know
432
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.519
it's been around. If they've put
in some really good tech inside it and
433
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.200
it just sounds really clean. Yeah, once again, hope of my wife's
434
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.519
not watching. I have one of
those on the way. So I can't
435
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.640
I can't wait to try it out
and music, because I love shore products,
436
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:47.240
man, I love the you know
I obviously I used the seven B
437
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:49.720
here I got a fifty eight that. Man, if the fifty eight looked
438
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.920
better on camera, I would use
it. I just love the sound of
439
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.799
that microphone. So, Um,
if I was doing that, and I
440
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:59.480
want to remind people to like we
are, we are live. So if
441
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.559
you guys have any questions, drop
them in a chat near you and we're
442
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.000
both live on mine and your Amazon
live channel, and there's care sales down
443
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.599
below of those those or to the
side. However, you're watching it.
444
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.400
So if you see you know a
product that we're talking about. If you
445
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.599
see a product in the care Sol
and you have a question about it.
446
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.839
Um, these are all the things
that we use, or maybe not all
447
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.839
the things, but several of the
things we use in our studios and we're
448
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.160
just kind of hanging out talking about, you know, building your home studio,
449
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.119
showing up better, showing up with
confidence, and I'm in you know,
450
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.519
and and somebody over here on our
all right, my Amazon thing,
451
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.359
Gabriel said, uh or Gabe said, I remember watching June eight install some
452
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.960
of his lighting on the shelves behind
him. So, Um, that's cool.
453
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.039
When you have followers and people who
you know, we'll watch you evolve.
454
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.240
It's not similar to what we're doing. It's not, Hey, I'm
455
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:53.279
gonna just go spending grant and set
up my backdrop, but it's at a
456
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.440
thing here, at a shelf there, and Um, you know, that's
457
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.880
what I did. I started out
and here and I just ripped everything out
458
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.359
because I'm like, I can't figure
out what I want to do, so
459
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.920
I'm gonna have a little fun with
green screen for a while and then I
460
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:08.759
might get a big shelf, you
know, or it might move the whole
461
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.039
thing around. I'm not sure yet. So yeah, maybe I just need
462
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:17.920
to hire you June and come over
and figure it out for me. Absolutely,
463
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.680
and that's something that I do right. So people can either take my
464
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.119
course, uh and, you know, walk walking themselves by themselves, and
465
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:29.920
I'll just walk them through. Okay, this is how you install these different
466
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.839
things that, this is how you
figure out what lends to using your room,
467
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.119
or then I or either I can
walk them with me, you know,
468
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:41.599
do it with them, uh,
and tell them, okay, let's
469
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.519
figure out your room size. And
you already share, you know, you've
470
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:51.079
got a thirteen by UM fourteen or
thirteen by fifteen room with a really high
471
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:56.000
ceiling. So what I do for
that is I create a virtual room and
472
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.799
a software, because, guess what, we can do three D cat this
473
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:06.480
line on computers now. So I
do that with taking the dimensions and creating
474
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:09.640
that room and the software and telling
you, okay, based on what you
475
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:14.720
showed me, based on where the
windows and the doors are, this is
476
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.440
where you should place your camera,
this is the Lens that you want to
477
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.720
go with. And then I walked
them through. Okay, here's a list
478
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.759
of gear that you might want to
get and here's how you would wire everything
479
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.640
together. So I worked with people
and, you know, these different capacities,
480
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:37.640
just so they don't have to spend
six months and just figuring out which
481
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.799
hardware, you know, which microphone, which which desk, which mount,
482
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.839
which teleprompter, which? You know, there's so many variables and time is
483
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:51.920
something that we don't have enough of. Time is something that's already fleeting like
484
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.480
this moment. That's fast. It's
not coming back. But the hundred dollars
485
00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:00.880
you spend, guess what you're gonna
make a hunter box dest around the corner.
486
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.839
Yeah, yeah, man, absolutely
well. And now, and I
487
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.000
think that's another thing too, that
I love about, you know, seeing
488
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.079
you build these studios and help people
build the studios. It is like a
489
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:14.920
cheat code, you know, and
that's why I think when somebody hires someone
490
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.079
like you, it's like it is
a cheat code. It's like, Hey,
491
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:20.519
I've done the work, I've researched
the you know, like just me
492
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.640
buying these Sony's, like I researched
so many different cameras and so many different
493
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:29.039
models and watch hours of youtube videos. But if I just had a pro
494
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:30.799
that knows a lot about cameras,
say hey, just buy this one.
495
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.119
It's gonna do what you want.
Put these settings on, it's gonna get
496
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.880
you this kind of look that you
want. Um, it does give us
497
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.680
as creators more of an opportunity just
to step into something that's already put together
498
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.200
and starting doing what we actually want
to do. Like you know. You
499
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.359
know, for you and I,
I think we like this stuff. I
500
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.559
mean I get nerdy on gear and
cables and you know, all that kind
501
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.000
of stuff. But for the average
person that owns a business that wants to
502
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.559
level up their live streaming, Um, definitely, you know, and so
503
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:00.559
and so they can go to your
website. So it's home mastery dot com.
504
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:06.400
It's Home Studio Dot Com. Yeah, yeah, and check out and
505
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.400
check out June. And so,
if you can get on a call and,
506
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.960
you know, book time with him, take his course, take his
507
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.519
workshop, because if you're watching this
and maybe you're watching on Amazon or ritual
508
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.280
motion or wherever, and you're going, I'm just overwhelmed, I don't know
509
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:21.159
how to do this. Um,
this is I'm giving you a cheat code
510
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.760
right here on the show today.
It's it's it's June, the cheat code,
511
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:28.760
and so I can help you get
set up yeah, man. I
512
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:30.639
mean because, you know, I
look at the transformation that you've done.
513
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.639
I see you in these communities all
day long, helping people, answering questions,
514
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.400
Um, not only about this stuff, but the live streaming, the
515
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.000
software, computers that you use,
all that kind of stuff, as well,
516
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.199
Um, all the rigging stuff,
like how do you keep tripods out
517
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:50.400
of your office? And you know
I mean, I saw that behind the
518
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.320
scene shot and you got it all
rigged up in the ceiling and all that
519
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:59.199
stuff. Let's jump overhead and stuff
mounted on the death so the floor is
520
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.599
clean. Like I can, I
can have kids coming here and running around
521
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.920
no problem, and that's that's the
joy, right. We do all of
522
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.440
this stuff so that we can spend
more time with the kids. I have
523
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:15.559
my door locked because otherwise they would
be walking in in the show, which
524
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.639
is I love that, you know, I love sharing my life with them,
525
00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.880
with you guys and Um. But
they were not going to terms like
526
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:29.159
okay, hold on, hold on, I'll be out there because we just
527
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:35.079
we just got um a package from
Amazon and it's a zip line, some
528
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.199
ninety foot zip line that we're gonna
put up in the backyard. So they
529
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:42.360
can't wait as also, they're like
Dad, get off the call, come
530
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.440
on, we getta go, we
got we gotta do the ZIP line.
531
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.960
Like all right, we'll hook it
up. That's so much fun, man.
532
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:51.679
Well, well, I know we
could talk all day. And here's
533
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:53.559
the thing, and this is kind
of this kind of like a little appetizer
534
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:57.440
for people listening and going hey,
I want to set up a home studio.
535
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.000
Um, there is a lot of
stuff to it. I mean,
536
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.880
if you obviously saw Jun as set
up there, it's a ton of stuff,
537
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.719
ton of cabling, ton of wires, ton of connections, stuff work.
538
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:12.000
Stuff isn't working right now because he's
switching stuff out. Um. So
539
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:14.400
I want to encourage people to give
you, you know, give you a
540
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.960
call and we could talk all day
about rigging stuff and lighting and cameras and
541
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.920
we could go down that route.
But is there anything that we really haven't
542
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:23.119
covered that you're like? Man,
I just want to share this to make
543
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:28.400
sure I get it out there before
we dip out of here all. The
544
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.719
one thing that I tell everybody,
even if you don't have a studio,
545
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:37.440
guess what, you have a thousand
dollar camera in your pocket that you can
546
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:42.719
start using to get comfortable in front
of the camera. The first thing that
547
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.800
I tell the first thing that I
did myself, before I even built the
548
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:51.599
studio, was got comfortable in front
of the camera by having interviews, by
549
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:57.159
doing interviews, by being guests,
being guests on my show or being guests
550
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.199
on other people's show, and just
having those conversations, because when you do
551
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:07.199
that you get a little you get
over the fear of sounding, you know,
552
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:13.400
being uncomfortable. So get uncomfortable to
get comfortable. So one of the
553
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.320
things that I do is Um we
had a challenge run and and you know
554
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:21.119
literally does that and a lot of
people do this, you know, thirty
555
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:25.559
day video challenge, where every single
day you're creating a video, you're recording
556
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:32.039
a video and just talking about what's
on your mind and and that's really hard.
557
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:37.519
So I made it a little bit
easier by sending you a daily prompt.
558
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:42.079
Hey, go create a video,
talk about this question, answer this
559
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.800
question. So now when you're asking
a question, guess what's happening, you're
560
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:49.760
not thinking about what you look like, you're just focusing on answering that question
561
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:54.440
and you get easier and you get
comfortable when you do that. Yeah,
562
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:58.719
man, I love it. I
love it, I think. Is it?
563
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.440
Christo from dilk masters always says,
you know, you gotta put in
564
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.960
the reps and to yeah, and
that's just, like, you know,
565
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.079
necess like anything, though, it's
like, if you want to learn your
566
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:12.000
software, get in there and just
build. You know, I've been doing
567
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.119
that over the past couple of weeks, just like you know, building three
568
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.920
different creating daily shows like backgrounds and
backdrops, just to see what I like.
569
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.119
You know, it's like, okay, I don't like that, let
570
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:23.800
me dress something else. Okay,
I don't like that, Um, and
571
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:27.719
it's not. The beauty about doing
all this stuff digitally is like we can
572
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.400
always change it up, we can
always make it different, you can always
573
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.039
we do whatever we want, which
is so crazy. Um. Well,
574
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.559
man, I really appreciate I see
people in the chat over here on on
575
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.159
on Amazon live, just, you
know, saying hey, you've learned so
576
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.519
much about lighting today and learning some
new stuff. Um. So we really
577
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.639
appreciate everyone joining us and I really
appreciate you joining you. Man. I
578
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.079

with you and just follow him around,
581
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:00.920

582
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:06.440
just follow this guy because he is
always innovating and it's got all kinds of
583
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.360
fun techie stuff that he's working on. So, man, I really appreciate

thank you so much for watching.
This is once again creating daily and we

00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.599
go live Tuesdays and Thursdays now at
four PM eastern time. So so check
596
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:59.199

which is two days from now, I
597
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:02.599
got my good friend Kevin Low of
the low down with Kevin Low podcast.
598
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:07.599
He's gonna be coming in talking about
how can you change fearlessly? A lot
599
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:09.519
of us, you know, similar
to what Jane and I were talking about,
600
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:13.440
like you don't like change, you
don't want to you know, you
601
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.840
put something somewhere, you put a
camera somewhere, you don't want to move
602
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.599
it. Um. But my friend
Kevin has had big changes in his life.
603
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.159
One was his eyesight went away when
he was younger and so he had
604
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:27.039
to adapt and change to that and
then just recently, during the pandemic,
605
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:30.320
had to transition his whole business to
another business which now he's a full time
606
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.360
podcaster, content creator and coach.
So I'm excited to have him on the
607
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.840
show here in a couple of days
and share his story. So be sure
