PROBLEMS:

• Small space! 8 feet long and 4 feet wide.

• Setup takes so much time.

• Computer table is occupying some space

• Storage problems

• Table problems (for reviewing stuff and others)

 

​

​

IDEA:

• Hang stuff on the wall to free space in the center.

• Have your setup ready everytime you needed it and fixed some lights for an instant setup.

• Had the computer monitors hanging on the wall and as well as the PC.

• Find a box for storage that I can sit on.

• Get a foldable table I can use for reviewing stuff!

 

​

​

CHALLENGES OF THE NEW IDEA:

• Fixing stuff on the wall and it's sticking out can be annoying and dangerous specially if it is within your workspace.

• Having your gears in full setup is good but it has to stay in one place and might fall if it is on stand or can get dusty.

• Hanging monitor in horizontal position is ideal however not in a 4 feet wide space.

• I need to have a box that I can sit on and put all my stuff. (I only saw a small square-type chair in the market)

• Just go and find one foldable table

FIXING THE PROBLEMS

• Found an L-Bracket/flash holder that I can hooked on my wall. I needed to adjust the hole to have it fit on the bolt though (Lazada for the L-bracket)

  (having a protruding bolt is better than having an L-shape metal sticking out of the wall)

  (Aperture for the camera rig)

• Have your gear in half setup instead of a full setup by using a camera rig for it that you can basically hang on the wall too.

• Put the monitors on top of one another to save space. (Shopee for the Monitor Wall Mount)

  (Mandaue Foam for the storage box chair)

• Finally found a storage box chair that's long enough to put some of my stuff inside!

• I just found one! (Daiso for the foldable table)

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

• Black paint is good to hide some imperfections on your background and can also create an illusion that you have a wider space specially if you bring up the contrast in your editing, however it also gets dusty easily so if dust enters your room a lot then I'd suggest don't go for black, neither matte and gloss will save you, cuz I painted my wall matte before and change it to a gloss, thinking dust may not stick to a glossy surface that much but the result was just the same!

• Lights are really important when shooting your video to make it look more professional. However video lights can be sometimes expensive and you might need light stands and adapters too. If you wanna save time and money buy a fixture and have it fixed in one place and put a switch on it. My advise is buy a lamp holder that can be turned in a different angle and a PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) lights. It has a"spot light" features.  (click for more details)
