A studio is the home of your project, some creators will create their entire video from inside the studio. It is an important tool and should not be overlooked on its importance. A studio is not for everyone however, it is important to remember that your budget is the most important factor to consider. If a studio fits within your price point there are some important things to look for before you buy. If you are interested in building a studio you may want to look over these to make sure your build incorporates the following elements.
Controllable Lighting
Make sure that there is sufficient lightning when needed, but make sure the amount of lighting is easily controlled. There should also be a fair amount of natural light, that is one of the most overlooked things, the natural light can turn your project from good to great by adding that realistic touch.
Electricity
As obvious as this one seems make sure that your studio has a sufficient number of outlets and is able to support the consumption of energy required to power lights, computer setups and whatever else your project needs to run.
Space
This one is extremely important, you need to visualize all of your materials in the room(s) you will be using. Also remember that you may want to expand in the future and you'll want plenty of room for your green screen area and your hard set and also a third space that is adaptable for other sets you may want to use. Don't forget space for editing and post production too. The last thing you'll want is an extremely cramped, tight area to try to do your whole project.
