Make a FAKE YOUTUBE STUDIO at home

[00:00] in this video we are going from this to

[00:03] this it's very easy to do you can do

[00:06] this at home so stay tuned

[00:08] [Music]

[00:19] hey how's it going so this has been my

[00:23] backdrop for maybe a couple of months or

[00:27] a bit longer and I'm not very proud of

[00:29] it the thing is that I'm in my garage

[00:31] and I am in the process of rebuilding

[00:34] this garage into a full-blown YouTube

[00:37] Studio but it's just taking too long

[00:39] time it's taking longer than I expected

[00:41] I have a carpenter friend of mine who

[00:44] was supposed to help me out but he's

[00:45] very busy so in the meanwhile I was

[00:47] thinking instead of having this kind of

[00:49] sad backdrop I was thinking okay I've

[00:51] got this old green screen lying about so

[00:55] let's make it into a virtual YouTube

[00:58] Studio instead now you might have a

[01:00] similar situation that you have a spare

[01:02] bedroom or a garage like me but you

[01:06] don't really want to either spend the

[01:08] money on rebuilding it into a YouTube

[01:11] studio so get yourself a a green screen

[01:14] and you're good to go now I do recommend

[01:16] using a paper background instead of a

[01:20] like these kind of fabrics that you have

[01:23] because they get creases all the time

[01:25] and it's just not going to work as

[01:28] easily as paper before we put the green

[01:31] screen down we are using today a eye

[01:34] footage key light with a huge softbox

[01:37] attached to it also from I footage and

[01:39] I'm using a small pocket LED light from

[01:43] Scion M40 fibre as a kind of a fill

[01:48] light but let's start making this into a

[01:50] virtual set instance

[01:53] so these kind of backdrops you can get

[01:56] from all the kind of places that sells

[01:59] photography

[02:00] video equipment it's not very expensive

[02:04] I just attached it to my wall but you

[02:07] can get stands for it as well I think

[02:09] that you can get a stand for about a

[02:12] hundred dollars and the backdrop as well

[02:14] is going to set you back about hundred

[02:16] dollars as well but relatively speaking

[02:18] it is not too expensive now I have

[02:21] enlisted this um this green screen as

[02:23] obviously we need to do I tried some

[02:25] different kind of methods to light it as

[02:28] you would usually do like from the sides

[02:30] so that the green screen is evenly lit

[02:33] but I found that I've got this huge lead

[02:37] panel I mean this is a monster this is

[02:40] from gvm and it's an RGB light as well

[02:44] so instead of just putting it on a

[02:48] normal Daylights or possibly

[02:51] um well whatever lights as it's a RGB

[02:54] light you can also put green so I was

[02:57] thinking how is that going to look like

[03:00] check this out

[03:09] I mean my whole room looks like it's

[03:13] green oh I'm looking at myself on the

[03:15] monitor in case you're checking out the

[03:16] beer camera and you probably can also

[03:18] see this microphone that is what I

[03:20] usually use but as I'm walking around in

[03:22] this video I have attached a lab mic if

[03:25] you're interested all the equipment that

[03:27] I'm using I want to put links to in the

[03:28] description now we have set up this

[03:31] green nice background I mean you don't

[03:33] have to have a huge expensive LED panel

[03:37] like that one if you have a RGB light

[03:39] like the Saucony lights that I have

[03:42] reviewed you can use that one as well

[03:44] but remove the cone from it so that it

[03:47] doesn't become a spotlight but it lights

[03:50] the room more evenly let's have a look

[03:52] at where I actually found the image that

[03:55] I'm going to use in the backdrop for

[03:57] this video Cause and mouth

[04:01] public so the image I founded on motion

[04:05] array because they just added images and

[04:08] graphic files as well like for Photoshop

[04:11] and illustrator I believe so I was like

[04:13] okay I'm gonna check that out since this

[04:15] background is not going to be my final

[04:17] one I'm not gonna put like oh this is a

[04:19] nice background it looks like you're in

[04:21] the living room I'm gonna go all the way

[04:23] and it's gonna look over the top but I

[04:26] kind of like it I found this kind of

[04:28] futuristic looking living room and I

[04:31] thought uh that looks kind of cool so

[04:33] I'm gonna use that one let's put it

[04:35] behind me and see what happens

[04:38] so this is how you would maybe light it

[04:42] up if you're starting out and it looks

[04:45] okay but there are levels that you have

[04:49] to add to make it look even better I did

[04:51] flip the image around because I have my

[04:54] key light over here and that was kind of

[04:56] replicating the lights shining through

[04:59] that window in this image that I have

[05:01] used you can see that there's like a

[05:02] quite strong orange light coming from

[05:05] this side of the image I have set up

[05:08] here a couple of pocket RGB lights and

[05:12] you might see it over there in the big

[05:13] camera but if we switch on this orange

[05:16] light you can already see on my mouse

[05:20] and the desk here but I have some orange

[05:24] spill from the RGB that looks like it

[05:27] might come from that light in the image

[05:29] you can see his hair now you can also

[05:32] see up there there are some teal light

[05:35] let's do the same let's switch on

[05:37] another pocket RGB lights

[05:40] foreign

[05:42] [Music]

[05:45] replicates that light in the ceiling now

[05:50] to separately a little bit more from the

[05:52] background I found that I need to have a

[05:55] rim light or a hair light so I just

[05:58] attached This little light tube I have a

[06:02] fluorescent lights up there but of

[06:05] course that color is wrong so since this

[06:07] is magnetic I found that I can just

[06:09] click it on

[06:12] get one you touch it

[06:14] and you can now see that I have this

[06:18] shine that could replicate a little bit

[06:20] the light from the living room now the

[06:23] living room window but it also just

[06:26] looks a little bit more professional

[06:29] so this is the footage before it's color

[06:31] graded I have maybe changed the curves a

[06:33] bit I have blurred out the background a

[06:36] little bit so it looks a little bit more

[06:37] realistic and on top of both layers both

[06:40] myself and the background layer I have

[06:43] put one of my cinematic Luts so that I

[06:46] blend in a little bit better in that

[06:49] scene and to add the little extra spice

[06:52] on top of everything since I don't have

[06:55] time to use Fusion or after effects or

[06:57] stuff like that I just created this kind

[07:00] of fake light wrap you can see it on my

[07:03] shoulder over here maybe a little bit on

[07:05] this one as well it just makes it look a

[07:08] little bit more realistic so to finish

[07:10] up if you want to make your green screen

[07:13] your virtual sets look more realistic

[07:15] add a couple of RGB lights in your scene

[07:19] because that is going to separate you

[07:21] from the amateurs with the professionals

[07:23] just like I did with only those two

[07:25] lights over there it makes the whole

[07:28] difference in a green screen setup to

[07:31] remove the green screen that's a whole

[07:33] video for itself you can remove green

[07:35] screen or chroma in general using a

[07:38] Final Cut Pro Premiere Pro DaVinci as

[07:42] I'm using the process is very similar if

[07:45] you are not using green screen in your

[07:46] setup check out this video right here

[07:49] where I have multiple scenarios where

[07:52] you can light your YouTube videos in

[07:55] your living room or bedroom or wherever

[07:57] you are filming

[07:59] check it out

[08:01] peace
