Loved the video! Great tips! If I may chime in, we should also consider how your videos are rendered by KZread. Gradients will suffer from heavy banding, so be mindful of lighting an empty backdrop or wall. And darker areas are compressed more heavily than brighter ones. So if you're going to go dark, don't use gradients, and fill your background with stuff to break up the effects of the KZread compression. Basically, the worst thing you can do for KZread is shoot in front of a big dark purple wall with a gradient. 🤓🤣🤦‍♂️

Thanks so much! Yesss that’s a great tip! You can totally see banding in that shot of Chris and I against the white background with the plants! Stuff with texture and layers definitely help!

Do any of us really deserve Gerald? I feel as though he just pops up on my feed with a video "Everything You Could Want to Know About (Insert Topic Here)" and I'm all like "Thanks, Gerald!" Now he's helping me on OTHER people's videos! Is there no end to his knowledge...?

I've noticed this annoying gradient effect. Anyone have tips on fixing?

Bonus tip: have blue hair to separate you from the background 👍🏻

I appreciate that this is the design of the space and not “what (typically expensive) equipment you need for a full blown studio”.

This was one of the most pleasing looking videos I've ever seen. I wasn't even looking for this, it just popped up and I watched the whole thing because I was so mesmerised! I love how moody and dark your set-up is and yet there's a perfect amount of light to see you. And also your awesome hair just absolutely blends in perfectly with the whole look 👏

Perfect timing As the days are getting shorter I am realizing I can’t rely on window light as much during the winter and I’ll have to make a make shift setup! Thanks for the video! -Sarah

We just moved to Japan and I've been trying to figure out the "space" here and this was extremely helpful esp. cause your my go to in the design space.

Love it. Thanks for the great tips! Moving from a shooting space that had built in elements that gave depth, texture and tone (and tons of natural light, too) into a spare bedroom temporarily as I build out the new space (which is a 7x18 closet) I've been struggling to really nail my background and get the elements the previous space just 'had'. This also gives me a ton to consider when designing the new space from scratch. :)

This is so timely! I've resumed filming for my channel and I'm testing different backgrounds for photos. Thanks Becki!

Really great tips! Thank you for helping us all to overcome this challenge. I think many of us are all in a very similar place here, starting in a small space, but wanting a great looking space to represent our brand! I’m excited to implement some of these tips!

Becki, you're awesome! I was just re-watching the "home studio" video yesterday & have been trying to think of something for my very small bedroom; thanks for this!

I could literally listen to you talk about probably anyting your energy that you bring through your video intoxicatingly mesmerizing

Great to see what can be achieved in a small space with minimal props. I’m excited to see what I can create this weekend to record some more videos for my channel, thanks

THE video I need right now! Starting to film indoors now winter’s kicking in, and have a very small space to work with... top info, thanks! 😍

Thank you. I came looking for tips in setting up impromptu backdrops (so small budget/small space fits into the mold) and the basic technical stuff and the examples were very helpful, thank you! Thanks also for showing your past setups for folks like me who haven't been following.

This was perfect. Undergoing a “studio reno” (aka living room) currently and this was very useful!

This video is perfect!!! I just moved to a studio apt. in SF and I’m in the process of setting up a mini studio space and a workstation in my closet.

I don't think I've ever hit the subscribe button so fast before in my life.

I was struggling for like a 6 months of how to set up a formal or at least functional to record space. As usual, you have open my mind to knowledge. I'm starting rigth know. Thanks for always sharing! I love guys, keep rocking! Saludos y abrazos desde México!! 🖤🖤👌🏾

I absolutely love your voice for explaining things. Such perfect tempo and soft enough to digest information. :) Thank you!

Nice to stumble on this video. Technically excellent and very appealing to watch. But mostly impressed with how naturally at ease you are on camera and how likeable. Wish you much success.

I've been meaning to upgrade the quality of my content and holy heck - your videos are so immensely informative. You break it down so that even complete beginners can understand. This video alone taught me so many useful tips I want to shout lol THANK YOU!!

Thanks for all this useful content! Decided to start a youtube channel this year because of creatives like you guys! Definitely utilizing this info for creating youtube talking head videos moving forward! Appreciate it! 🙏🏽

I'm always drawn to a flat background too.. very Wes Anderson especially with layers and depth.

Again, love you! Such good info and your personality is the best.

Thank you so much! I'm just about to turn my home into a studio. Starting a vlog in January. I appreciate the help!

Super appreciated this one, I'm literally working on a video of "revamping and organizing" some of my desk/ studio space and now I can see if any of these tips can be implemented before I finish!

I loved this video! So helpful! First KZread video I’ve watched in a long time that I actually enjoyed! Thank you⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Boy, that’s great timing! Literally what I’m finishing up at this moment. My big struggle is lighting! Going to binge some of your other vids. Thx

This is such a perfect Video! Love the tips and the honesty in this piece. Nuggets of Wisdom dropped for sure. Thank you for being so transparent & real in your content. Taking a lot from this video going forward on my content. Salute for creating this and keeping us in line.

this is a very helpful video. love how you shoot and your style. keep up the great work!

This video is suuuuuuper helpful. Thanks, I never even thought about focusing on skin tones to help pick colors. Thank you!

Super helpful, as always, Becki! Thanks for always coming through for us.

Great video Becki, your a G at setting up those small studio spaces! So glad I found your channel! Thank you thank you

I've been wanting to watch this video since it came out, finally did, and loved it!!! We have a small office a short walk away from our apartment and have shot most of our KZread videos there. We were just chatting about perhaps moving one of our desks to the opposite wall (they're currently side by side) so that we can open the space up for either a KZread backdrop or small photoshoot space. This video gave me lots to think about and I'm looking forward to checking out the video you mentioned as well about finding your design style for KZread. Currently, there is *way* too much going on in the background of our videos, simply because it's our workspace. I loved how quickly you put together your tiny sample backdrop using the different types of wood and how you framed with some plants and the long tube bulb. It's great to know the F-stop you use, too. :) Thanks, Becki!

Thank you for this detailed tips! Just started youtube like 2 weeks ago. I was thinking about making my basement into a studio so this video will definitely be a great help for me to prepare my basement 😍

This was amazing! Thank you for contributing to our brands in businesses in this way. It is much appreciated!

Thank you for this video. 🙏 Not only great tips, but showing the space you shot from different angles really was helpful!

Such a great vid! Needed this. Thanks Becki! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

You are an amazing creature! I always wait for your sunday vids! Love them!

Excellent! Very much appreciate the video and points made. I'm currently fighting the learning curve battle with background choices for my video projects and this certainly helps!

I love your channel so much. I just converted my 2nd bedroom into a home office/studio this is gonna help big time.

Your channel is soul food for me! Lol it is a plus, the asthetics & quality of your videos on a 82 inch 4k tv! Lbs! All the colors you guys represent is exactly what Im into as well so THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!

Great tips. One of the best detailed videos I have seen.

Amazing as always. I'm exactly at the process of setting up youtube backdrop from greenscreen that I was using before. Thanks for the tips!

OMG I have just stubble across this video and got so many helpful tips about shooting videos in a home space. I've been procrastinating like crazy with starting my KZread channel and used the excuse of nowhere to shoot. Not anymore! Thanks Si

Mind = blown on the timing of this. I was watching your youtube studio videos yesterday trying to figure out how to setup my small room for filming

Soooo helpful I am using my bedroom for my KZread studio at the moment

Wow, this is the room design I always really wanted. I really adore the color and design.

Is it ok that I now look at every corner of our apartment as a KZread set?! 24 vids in... I’ve caught the creator bug! Ha. Great vid, thanks B&C. Hi from lockdown London. 😊

Literally my favorite part of the weekend are your videos!

Dude, this was so good! Love you guys, like. Woah..

Totally needed this video today! Thanks so much!

Wow! That lighting is impeccable..

Super useful tips! Thank you :)

1. Becky - you are gorgeous! Lovely! 2. This is EXACTLY what I needed! I'm just getting back into videos after a 2 year hiatus. I have moved homes so my current space is a corner in my office room. (I'm sharing w my husband). I love the suggestion of set and brand matching.. makes so much sense! Thank you for this gem!!

How have I not heard about this channel?? I love this girl! SUBSCRIBED!

Exactly what I was looking for today!! Thank you

Love the plywood, sitting on the floor, and using natural light. It doesn't have to be complicated! Boom 👊

GREAT VID! So helpful. And that hair! Such a great color. Can’t wait to see the finished basement studio.

this was SO HELPFUL!!! like legit - THANK YOU!!!! Totally helped me create a super dope environment for my newest video! thank you thank you!!

Great show. Just searched the topic and kudos. Very well done

You guys are super cool. Personally, I liked the look at f4. The out of focus was still soft enough while still showing the depth and texture you worked hard to create. Thanks for creating and sharing!

Thanks for your professional advice. It's very practical and useful for youtuber whose filming background in a small place .

I always get inspired by watching your videos or listening to your podcast. Please keep up the good work cause you are deadly!

I love that you shopped your house for this and it looks so good. I can think of places and things in my house that I could apply these tips to and i haven't even finished furnishing my house let alone decorating. I'm sure that's what you were going for but: mission accomplished!! Thanks Becki!!

Thanks for this!! This tremendously helps out a lot for someone like me who have a very small place.

Awesome Video and great tips! I hate to say this, this is the first time coming across your channel ... BUT I am VERY thankful that I did!

I’m in full research mode to research back lightings for my videos. Still working out how to use small office space so thanks for sharing 👍🏼🙏

Literally my favorite channel for inspiration.

Not a clue on how I missed this one! Full of great tips and tricks!!!

This is an amazing tutorial. The production, look, information. . . so helpful.

I didn't even hear the tips, but just by the quality of the lighting, her voice, and the hair, I knew it was gonna be great! Subscribing rn 💜

Holy crap, you are actually really nice and easy to listen to. Thanks! I shoot against a wall 1 foot away and it sucks but it's all I have lol.

You just gave me so much hope and ignited so much passion in me.

I love this! That will definitely help me and my videos! New sub for sure love how natural you are on camera

Super helpful video! And I can’t believe how easily you made a cool background out of scraps of wood! Can you make a series out of making creative and cheap backgrounds? Like my mind is seriously just blown with how well that looked! 🤯
