Making videos on a budget is where a lot of people start. In this video, I'm breaking down how to make YouTube videos cheap. Using my pro video tips you will see where you can not only save a ton of money but also save some of your time budget.

Let There Be Light

• No Budget - Use what you have available, the sun. 
• Shut off overhead lighting. 
• Don't mix color temperatures. 
• Test the light for the location where you want to shoot. Set up the camera and record a test video every hour so you can see how the lighting changes from hour to hour.
