SETTING UP YOUR HOME STUDIO

In this video, Follow your buddy, ol’ Andy Jenkins, as I transform a section

of my house from a cluttered living room into a professional home studio.

SETTING UP YOUR HOME STUDIO

• Use any space in your home

• spare bedroom

• garage section

• living room

• Spouse approval factor – when done everything it put back in place

• Document the area with camera, iPhone, or small video recording

• Get painter’s colored tape and mark corners of furniture on floor

• Remove the furniture

• Setup two background kits (2 stands & 9’ bar that sits on stands)

• Bar holds seamless paper $50 for 9’ wide X 36’ long

SETTING UP RIGHT WALL

• Setup stands - make sure legs are WIDE enough for stability

• Feed the bar through the roll of seamless paper

• Place the bar on the stands (two man job)

• Secure bar with thumb screws

• Locate the stands on one wall

• Pull down and Unroll the seamless paper

• Use SPRING Clips on each side, up at top, to keep from rolling

• Use heavy item on backside sitting on the paper to keep TAUT

SETTING UP CENTER WALL

• Repeat the process for setting up the right wall

SETTING UP LEFT WALL

• We will hang black Muslim for negative fill

 Need to capture some of the bouncing light that will

reflect off of white Seamless paper when the room is lit.

 Need to make nice real dramatic high contrast

THINGS TO CONSIDER

 Note: sides don’t have to meet

• Two cameras angled in such a way to only see the

white seamless paper
