2014 Behind the scenes HD

What I Found

A practical behind-the-scenes look at the 2014 LifeWithTech home office setup, including the camera boom, lighting.

Back in 2014, a lot of LifeWithTech videos were made from a pretty simple home office setup. It was not a studio full of expensive production gear. It was a desk, a few lights, a camera, some audio equipment, and a handful of homemade fixes that helped get the job done.

The 2014 LifeWithTech setup was built around a Canon T4i mounted on a homemade camera boom, with a 500 LED light attached to the boom, additional side lighting, a Helios microphone connected through an Apogee Duet 2, and a Mac Pro mounted underneath the desk for tethered recording.
