How I Built My Home Video Studio!!!

I hope you enjoyed my talk! Here are links to the items I mentioned. At the bottom of the page is my PowerPoint presentation. Now go and produce amazing content!

You do not need all the gear below, you can do a fantastic job creating content with your smartphones alone. To save money, do the best you can to buy used from Nextdoor, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Craigslist, etc (just be safe). If you are going to buy from Amazon, please use my affiliate links below, for approximately every $500 all of you spend, I get a $10 gift card to spend on more video gear, HOORAY! Thank you for supporting me, I hope my talks and the very comprehensive list below helps. (UPDATE on June 15, 2020: Amazon rejected my affiliate account and they have no staff for me to challenge their rejection. So, I have received $0 nor will I receive any money in the future. But, these links still work and get you to the products I recommend.) (UPDATE #2 on June 15, 2020: Here is a great video comparing webcams: https://youtu.be/xB-aP7lmQO8)
