For some of the upcoming SLR Lounge videos, I thought it would be nice to have an actual area of our studio dedicated to recording our tutorials and videos. However, there was slim pickings given that pretty much every other area of our studio and warehouse is in use already. So, I was left with the back garage door entrance of our warehouse to setup our scene.
So, in this Behind the Scenes video tutorial I am going to show you guys how to build a set with virtually nothing, and then light the entire set with less than $130 worth of lighting products, all of which (except the scrim) was purchased at Home Depot.
Our shot from the final scene is shown below, and the behind the scenes video is just below that.
Here is the video, enjoy guys! For the written version of this tutorial, please visit the exclusive written article provided to our partners Digital Photography School.

Thanks for the BTS video. Very cool. I don’t have one of those screens to filter out the light. Do you have any alternative suggestions to make your own screen on a budget? Thx.
If you’re talking about the diffuser, you can pick up a 5-in-1 on eBay for less than $30.
Yeah, wouldn’t make sense doing a DIY scrim. Every 5 in 1 includes them, and a 5 in 1 you can get for $30 or less as Robert said.
