Turn an Ordinary Bedroom into a PRO YouTube Studio!

Looking to turn your ordinary bedroom into a professional YouTube studio?  Are you curious about the different photo/video, lighting, audio and various accessories that can make a small space feel spacious, while still being practical? In this video, I'll go over my process for turning this standard bedroom in my apartment into my ultimate personal office, gear storage area and overall studio for filming and editing photos and videos.  I'll first start with an overview of how the space was built, and what my goals were when designing this space, and picking out the different options I used to build it. I'll then cover all of the various furniture and pieces of gear that make up the space.  Everything from storage solutions, to my desks, computer workstation and setup, seating, and then my overall video, audio, and lighting setups that make the room what it is.  By the end of this video, you should have several ideas for how to convert your personal space into the office and studio of your dreams. Links to all of the products I mentioned are in the description below.  Feel free to leave a like and subscribe, as there will be much more content like this on the way!  Also let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. =================== My YouTube Studio Kit: =================== APC SurgeArrest 11 Outlet Surge Protector: https://amzn.to/4hIabnZ APC SurgeArrest 2-pack Surge Protector w/ USB Ports: https://amzn.to/4jI5lsP DEVAISE 3 Drawer Mobile Filing Cabinet: https://amzn.to/4hpsSNS Roc-N-Soc Nitro Gas Drum Throne Black: https://amzn.to/40JpypC Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max w/ 32GB RAM and 1TB Storage: https://amzn.to/40GBqbZ Apple Magic Keyboard w/ Numeric Keypad: https://amzn.to/40VDU7s Logitech M705 Marathon Wireless Mouse: https://amzn.to/4hFTp90 Dell U3425WE Ultrasharp 34" Wide Screen Monitor:https://amzn.to/42GeNH4 Apple EarPods w/ 3.5mm Plug: https://amzn.to/42DysY4 Apple Airpods Pro 2: https://amzn.to/4goNc0p Under Desk Cable Management Tray 16"x6" (2 pack): https://amzn.to/3EvrD0G Wrap-It Storage Self-Gripping Cable Ties 40-Pack: https://amzn.to/3ZUFKoO LED Dimmable Desk Lamp: https://amzn.to/4gr8Fpw Philips Hue Bridge: https://amzn.to/3CCHXfF Philips Hue Smart 40w Candle Shaped Bulb: https://amzn.to/3CHtgYE Philips Hue Smart 60w A19 Bulb: https://amzn.to/3WMlTWW Philips Hue Compact Smart Light Tube: https://amzn.to/40FSEpN Aputure LS 60x: https://amzn.to/3Dvo4oc Aputure Light Dome Mini III: https://amzn.to/4aG6bSI Aputure MC: https://amzn.to/34l8DzS Convenience Concepts Graystone 31" 2-Tier Plant Stand: https://amzn.to/4hEQAoV LCGENS USB A/C 20w Wall Charger Block: https://amzn.to/3Q0MSu4 UGREEN USB A to USB C Braider Cable 6ft: https://amzn.to/4aFpL1F Sony a7S III: https://amzn.to/3Gd87kK Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II: https://amzn.to/3GuWrNa iFootage 59" Round Base Monopod: https://amzn.to/42BgJAz iFootage 22" Round Base Monopod: https://amzn.to/3WIy7zI Manfrotto XPro3 3-Way Fluid Head: https://amzn.to/3Eie5pg Sony a7R V: https://amzn.to/3FNpWdn Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II: https://amzn.to/3OWeb6k iFootage Cobra 3 C180F-P: https://amzn.to/3T0aTm2 Manfrotto MHXPRO-2W Fluid Head: https://amzn.to/3o9uu4p Matthews Boa Bag (10 lbs): https://amzn.to/37YUmeb Sony XLR-K3M Mic Adapter Kit: https://amzn.to/40XGTvb Rode NTG-3B Shotgun Microphone Black: https://amzn.to/3CnJC8Z Rode SM4-R Rycote Shockmount: https://amzn.to/40Z3Hvy Hosa 20ft XLR Cable: https://amzn.to/4aHbK3o AxcessAbles Heavy Duty Microphone Boom Stand: https://amzn.to/4hqu9nF Gator Frameworks Short Weighted Base Microphone Stand: https://amzn.to/3WKR8Sa Impact Folding Wheeled C-Stand IKEA Kallax 1x4 White Stained Oak IKEA Kallax 2x2 White Stained Oak IKEA Kallax 3x4 White Stained Oak IKEA Drona Storage Box Blue IKEA Drona Storage Box Dark Gray IKEA Branas Wicker Storage Basket IKEA Forsa Desk Lamp IKEA Uppvind Floor Lamp IKEA Fejka Artificial Potted Plant Regency NSF 42"x34"x14" Chrome 3-Level Shelving Regency NSF 30"x12"x14" Chrome 1-Level Shelf Husky 72"x24" Adjustable Height Worktable Black Husky 52"x24" Adjustable Height Worktable Black Husky 36" 3-Drawer Tool Storage Rolling Cart Black Telescoping 72"144" Curtain Rod in Oil Rubbed Bronze Blackout Curtain 84"x50" in Charcoal Steelcase Amia Office Chair Black 0:00 - Intro, background and how I built the space 2:39 - Gear storage, charging station 7:10 - Desk setup and seating 10:06 - Computer setup and accessories 12:24 - Lighting 17:13 - Cameras 18:32 - Audio 19:54 - Alternate setup options BEST Pelican Case for Camera Gear?

I'm Starting Over on YouTube...

I'm Starting Over on YouTube...

Yes, it is true - I'm starting from scratch here on YouTube, and have made a new channel. But there is a reason for this... In this video, I'll talk about why I created a new channel - Andrew Saraceni Plus - and what you can expect I'll be covering on that channel, vs. what I usually cover here. For those that are curious, you can continue to expect all camera, photo, video and tech related content to remain on this channel, and continue at the same pace that has occurred for the past number of years. That said, because my fiancé and I are in the process of building and buying a new home, I wanted to make a new space on YouTube to cover that process, while utilizing my existing camera gear and kowledge to capture everything around that process that I could. And additionally, I wanted to create an additional space here on the platform to hare content such as that, along with other thoughts, musings, etc. without impact to my usual audience, the algorithm, etc. her eon the main channel. If you're interested in any content around the home buying or homebuilding process, feel free to leave a like and go subscribe to my new channel, bcause there will be plenty more content to come in that space. And, I would not be surprised if some content from here makes its way there, and/or vice versa. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below!

About

ANDREW SARACENI

Capturing moments, and telling your story.

A technical creative based in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area, I'm currently a lead cinematographer and Director of Photography with Terry Myers Entertainment, and TME Wedding Services, and an independent freelancer (AES Media) as well. 

I specialize in the technical aspects of filmmaking (video, audio, lighting), photography, editing and live streaming, and take pride in delivering consistent, quality results for any event or professional shoot - no matter the size or occasion.  With an active YouTube channel, I stay engaged with the video/photo and content creation community for both myself and clients' benefits.

By day, I work in the information technology field as an application development manager, and I'm also a part-time musician (drums, keyboards), so feel free to consult with me regarding any of these areas.
