7 Tips to Streamline a Small Studio Space (My YouTube Office Setup Tour)

7 Tips to Streamline a Small Studio Space (My YouTube Office Setup Tour)

In this video I give you a tour of my small home office YouTube studio setup, and share the tips and products I have come up with over the years to streamline my space and improve my productivity.

Creating an efficient workflow in a home office or spare bedroom is one of the most important things you can do in order to consistently put out new content. When you have to setup and tear down lights, lightstands, softboxes, microphones, etc. every time you record, it kills creativity and takes up valuable time that could be used creating more videos.

There are seven tips in this video, plus one semi-stupid (but still valuable) bonus hack at the end.

  3. Joe Burns on May 22, 2021 at 3:34 am

    I’m trying to figure out how to use my small space which is an attic conversion so has a sloped ceiling?

  4. Lucas anderson on May 22, 2021 at 3:34 am

    Great thanks

  5. Hunter Ajax on May 22, 2021 at 3:36 am

    Have you Film all with the M50 ? I am not able to obtain good footage. What lenses do you use with what settings. Tk

  6. Nativity on May 22, 2021 at 3:37 am

    what color grey paint did you use for the main wall behind you?

    i’m looking to repaint my youtube/studio/bedroom and trying to figure out what’s the best color so i can just splash a lcd color onto it.

    thanks in advance!

  7. Paulo de Castro on May 22, 2021 at 3:39 am

    Could you share the exact area of your room as well the distances, for instance between camera and you?

  8. Matkai on May 22, 2021 at 3:40 am

    Nice setup! Love the camera desk clamps!

  18. Steve Vick on May 22, 2021 at 3:55 am

    You’re gonna get some cash from me (well from amazon via me). I needed a desktop light stand and remembered this video talking about one. So I search youtube and found this video again and clicked your link. It is just what I needed. Thanks.

  19. Joy of Filming on May 22, 2021 at 3:56 am

  23. Matt Foley on May 22, 2021 at 3:59 am

    I that a Herman miller aeron? That is the best purchase of well-being I’ve ever made.

  24. 81 Springbrook on May 22, 2021 at 4:00 am

    yeah using a monitor arm as a light stand/arm is great. but i don’t really have room for that either… maybe i just drill something to my wall instead.. 🙁

  25. Sonic Acoustics on May 22, 2021 at 4:00 am

    The style is really awesome! Nice space you have. 🙂

  26. Mark Wild on May 22, 2021 at 4:01 am

    C’mon man! There’s gotta be some mess somewhere! Great video man ✊🏻

  27. Robert Proctor on May 22, 2021 at 4:01 am

    What camera lens are you using in this video? Are you using the M50?

  28. TechManiac on May 22, 2021 at 4:01 am

  29. 🇨🇦Nate Polmateer on May 22, 2021 at 4:01 am

  30. Mathias4Makeup on May 22, 2021 at 4:01 am

    Thanks man! Loved this video and I’ve purchased that flexible dslr camera mount!!!!

  31. Awareness with Andrew on May 22, 2021 at 4:01 am

    Your setup is really cool and I am taking tips. Thanks for sharing your passion, this was great. Liked and subscribed from a small Youtuber comedian. Excited to watch more of your journey and creations 😃

  32. Fain Sports TV on May 22, 2021 at 4:02 am

    wow..simply amazing.

  33. Shaheed Malik on May 22, 2021 at 4:02 am

    What bolt did you use? 1/4 inch.. How long was it?

  34. Eddy LIVE on May 22, 2021 at 4:03 am

    Gotta get clamps for sure

  35. Matching Lancaster on May 22, 2021 at 4:05 am

    Great video! Caught me with the thumbnail & title and you exceeded my expectations. Congrats! 👏
    Question, this is the first video I’ve watched on your channel, is your style to have a hard key light with little fill? For my taste, I prefer a little more fill and not such a dramatic shadow. 👍

  36. Edgard Bocio Shorts on May 22, 2021 at 4:05 am

    Would that desk clamp hold a godox sl60w?

  37. jerry kurata on May 22, 2021 at 4:07 am

    Nice. Do you work in this office? If so, how do yo keep it clean enough to film and still usable for work? My desk has 2 monitors, webcam, keyboard, and all the associated cabling.

  38. TRỌNG TÀI ONLINE on May 22, 2021 at 4:07 am

    The table is nice. Im making one just like yours. Thanks for sharing

  39. Hugo Bessa on May 22, 2021 at 4:11 am

    This video is probably the most packed with quality of life tips I’ve seen for small spaces, with stuff that is actually affordable. Thank you

  40. Micki P on May 22, 2021 at 4:11 am

    this key light is above 1k – it is really not what average person wants to spend on a key light 🙂

  41. Steven Johnson on May 22, 2021 at 4:12 am

    Can we get a link to the desks?

  42. Doctor Fashion on May 22, 2021 at 4:13 am

    That computer stand though!! I never seen one with a USB port and all of that… looks like I’ll be upgrading my stand soon lol

  43. Bibhash Buragohain on May 22, 2021 at 4:15 am

    Nice tips. All I need is money lmao

  44. RadicalPersonalFinance on May 22, 2021 at 4:18 am

    Super useful!

  45. Craig Flick on May 22, 2021 at 4:21 am

    Hmmmm. I wonder if he’s the best dad ever.

  46. Marcin Czek on May 22, 2021 at 4:25 am

    Great ideas, need to implement them on my channel: https://youtu.be/Ao8Gb5R6M6k

  47. Jaye So Extra on May 22, 2021 at 4:26 am

    What lens are you using for talking head videos with the M50?

  48. M D on May 22, 2021 at 4:26 am

    Just awesome.

  49. DawkinsPlays on May 22, 2021 at 4:27 am
