- Yo, yo, Josh Yeo.
Welcome to 2018, this is my brand new channel.
And to kick it off, we are transforming
my bedroom into a You Tube studio.
(upbeat music)
I live in Los Angeles, rents are pretty high.
I don't really need a lot, so I figure
I could just get away with transforming my bedroom
into a You Tube studio.
We'll see, I'll let you know what the fiance says.
First up, we're getting rid of this bed.
(upbeat music)
I sold my bed to a chick on Craigslist for a hundred
bucks and I got this Ferrari red pullout couch for $80.
(drilling noise)
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
yeah.
Oh boy.
I made a mistake.
Yeah, hey Joe, do you sell mattress foam,
like a mattress topper?
Yes.
(upbeat music)
Do you think the fiance will even notice?
What's next?
What's next, is paper.
What's better to look at?
This, or this?
Paper can be used to hide your personal stuff
so that you can shoot professional products,
interviews, or whatever.
I got a nine foot roll of paper for 50 bucks
from a local photography place,
and then to make it super easy, I just mounted it
to my ceiling, that way I can just roll it up
when I need it and unroll it when I'm not using it.
They come in many colors, you're probably only
gonna need white, black, or green.
I just got white and black 'cause I don't
really do green screen.
Paper or vinyl is gonna be significantly better
than muslin cloth.
You have to build a frame to stretch around it.
It's a good option for portability,
but then it's like do you want to build a frame?
Let's talk sound.
I live on a busy street, in addition to having
a good mic, I'm gonna need something to dampen
the outside ambient noise.
Now we can get sound panels, but they're like still
$300- $400.
Wal-Mart now has sounds tiles, which are cheaper,
but I got something that I think will work just as good.
Going to Home Depot.
It's raining, it, it rains in California.
That's bizarre.
Home Depot has one inch R-Tech insulating foam board.
It's made to insulate homes, but perfect
for absorbing sound.
(upbeat music)
This is totally gonna fit, there's just not gonna
be any room for my head.
Not the best set up, who needs to recline anyway?
Look at that phenomenal sunset behind us.
Amazing.
(cutting noise)
All right, now that the board is cut to size,
all we need to do is get some more foam.
Yeah, hey Joe, it's Josh again.
Do you guys have any egg crate foam?
The stuff that kind of looks like acoustic paneling?
So I need two sheets, 4x8 will work, that's fine.
This is so much cheaper than buying square panels,
and I think, yeah, I think it works the same.
So it's very important these guys line up.
If they don't line up perfectly, then it's gonna
look funny on the wall and then I'm gonna be pissed.
And then I'm gonna redo it.
Does that look straight to you?
It looks like hot glue gun is not gonna work on this.
It's melting the frickin' foam.
It chewed a big ole divot out of there.
All right, high-strength 90 contact.
I'm guessing this is the stuff we want.
(spraying noise)
So it's not 100% secure in there, but a little bit
of Velcro will keep it up in place, so you can build in
your own sound studio, but then if you need
like a V-Flat, or a reflector,
you have this built in, so now I can just use
one light and use this as my fill, and we're good to go.
So check this out, I got a couple of these extra things
and I think I'm gonna throw 'em up in the ceiling
and put some of my light stands upside down.
That way I have a permanent light stand
that's out of the way.
Yeah, that'll totally work for unboxing.
I think that's it.
I got one other thing to show you guys.
It's not necessary, but I picked it up last week
and I thought it was a huge win.
Drugs of any kind do not go in these lockers.
Dude, I got these for 80 bucks from some high school.
I was thinking of putting some LED's in there
and painting it with some metallic reactive paint,
so if I end up doing that, I'll do an episode.
This'll hold all my camera gear, my lenses,
cables, hard drive, all that good stuff.
I don't want to display them on the shelves and
(beeping noise)
I'd rather just stick 'em in there.
All right, so that's the studio.
Who made all this mess?
You guys don't need all this stuff for You Tube studio.
You only need a camera and a good personality.
Everything else is just filler.
You guys haven't already subscribed,
please do so.
I got some exciting videos coming out.
This is Josh Yeo, saying thank you very much,
stay creative, go make some art.
(upbeat music)
Pow, pow, ow.
