A Little Business Improvement


Ever since my brother moved out, I have sort of taken over his room as a kind of homemade studio. It was great to finally have a place where I didn't leave my gear set up all time, instead of having to tear down after each shoot. It also gave me the chance to do some things I never would have been able to do with green screening. Overall, it was a great space, but lives in need of a little bit of an overhaul to make it conducive for a great filming environment. Originally, the walls were a very intense burnt orange color that always seemed to seep into the coloring of my shot. Also, because of where the TV was mounted I was forced to hang my green screen across from the window. Because of this, and only allowed to use the width of the room to back my camera up, instead of the length. This is important because I was losing at least 4 feet of space. That's a big deal when you're working in such a small room. So, we decided to start from scratch and build something entirely new.

We started out with a new coat of paint and went from there. This is what the room looked like after the new paint job. It's a completely empty canvas. Hopefully, by the end of the weekend all the pieces will be put together. At least, I hope so! I have a freelance job I need to work on!
