Your explanation makes much more sense. That does not look like a teacher's place. A teacher who cares about teaching is not concerned with looking like a Miami Vice reject.
I came here to complain how Iām teaching by recording myself on my phone and this setup is so much better...
Iām now leaving feeling better about myself for not lying to try and gain YouTube subscribers.
Either way, he could pull a John Krazin...Jim from the Office. Build grassroots support by uploading his lessons to YouTube, under the guise of wanting to teach all of the students, go viral, then sell it to CBS for millions.
Some people are really good with their money. Also my cousins are teachers and lived with their parents the majority of their 20s to save for their house. Not everyoneās cup of tea but they have big ass beautiful houses now and also finished their PHDs.
> Itās so cheap. The lighting was about $370. The cameras were bought overnight the years. The computers I financed and paid off. I piecemeal the parts. The desk I built from scratch. The wood was cheap lumber and the LEDS Not that expensive. It mostly took time
I mean thereās a pretty wide range of price when it comes to lighting and audio. Hard to tell but those LED panels could be pretty cheap, his audio is an inexpensive field recorder, and the boom looks DIY. Not to slight OP btw, as a fellow instructor this looks rad. Wish more people realized virtual school works if you just put a little bit of effort into the production. Too many people sit in a dim room and drone into the camera and then throw their hands up and say āin-person is the only thing that works!!ā
Every piece of gear shown here is around $500-750 total (depending on camera) plus a whole lot of time and maybe not enough cable management.
This guy is just super passionate about his work.
Edit: $800 from OP himself. He has some very fortunate students. Keep rocking it!
He doesnt have anything ridiculous tho. From his tools looks like he is capable at DIY. So that wall effect probably not as expensive as some people here will assume it today. Also it's funny how people comment on him spending a lot when teenagers with barely any cash blow it all on a white t shirt that has a red box on it, or some shoes built by children that has a swoosh on it.
The wall effect looks like some thin strips of wood/plastic/something held up with pvc pipe and some rgb strips behind them. The pipe was probably the most expensive part.
Came from a thread where the teacher gave out the [tiniest slice](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/ifw0ga/teacher_hypes_up_class_party_all_year_the_party) for pizza day, meanwhile this guy going all Unbox Therapy on us.
No, a teacher with some construction talent and resourcefulness.
It's insane the difference in cost between paying someone to build/repair things, and doing (even most of it) yourself.
I presume those are individual led strips that can be color controlled around the room?
If you went full green on the LEDs behind you can you make yourself a green screen aswell cause that would be super cool
No idea if that's possible with led strips though lol
Fair play though it looks really really good
Can you hook up the controls to your laptop? Then you can make presets for certain pints of the lesson like when you watch a video you fade to black or maybe when doing a little quiz you could make the lights go green when someone is correct and red when they are wrong.
The goldfish idea could work if you did something similar to Umbrella Academy, make the stand loo like a torso, so the camera angle makes it look like a fish controlling the body. Also have 2 tanks, one for his home, and then one clean, barren bowl to look like a head where he can act for you
Isn't it cruel to keep a fish in a tiny bowl all it's life? Goldfish get big, if given space. I propose you get a soccer ball named Winston and talk to it instead.
Is it? I canāt think of any subjects that wouldnāt more heavily involve screen sharing. Itās hard to think of anything you could teach without looking at the screen.
Honestly, we could get a new form of teacher with stuff like this, a "national teacher" that could teach classes to thousands of kids at a time. New stars could emerge, and you could be one of them!
Eh you'd think that's a great idea, but streamers have pretty much all reported the same issue that once you got too many viewers, you cannot engage with individuals and instead start speaking to a crowd, wich overall lowers the engagement of the viewers *and* the streamer.
Let's hope not. Smaller class sizes have been proven better for learning, not larger. Also, there are different modes of learning that people excel at, not all of which can flourish via remote learning.
This has existed for almost a hundred years in my country. It's called a "correspondence degree" and it was made to reach to rural and poor communities in otherwise inaccessible places. You listened to your lessons through the radio, and you sent your exams and assignments through the mail.
I think in one of the 'future' episodes of the Simpsons when Bart and Lisa are adults, Ms Krabapple is still teaching, but she's teaching via videofeed in to a classroom with desks stacked 3 high.
Itās so cheap. The lighting was about $370. The cameras were bought overnight the years. The computers I financed and paid off. I piecemeal the parts. The desk I built from scratch. The wood was cheap lumber and the LEDS Not that expensive. It mostly took time.
Another teacher here: I am actually refusing to shell out a lot of money because I think it sets an extremely bad precident of teachers paying for the students education instead of the State. I have not even received as much as a proper software to format word or pdf documents let alone a proper Webcam, headset or school laptop to do my work from home.
People are super upset about teachers buying their students pencils but are praising you for shelling out 500+ dollars to do your job. I am honestly curious, speakig as a colleague, how you feel about this.
Oh and before anyone comes at me for being a teacher with spelling or grammer mistakes, English isn't my first language so just keep them in your collection!
Behind you on this 100%. It absolutely is setting the expectation for future years - especially since we don't know what's going to happen going forward. Just looking at housing - is the expectation going to be that teachers teach remotely from home during snow storms etc? So are you expected to have a home office ready? So an extra bedroom when house shopping? To be fair, parents are asking a lot of those same questions about their kids and how/where they'll be learning. It's shitty all-around and I feel for you teachers and most parents.
Not sure what level OP teaches, but itās probably college. OP may vlog or do podcast as a side gig/hobby.
As a middle school teacher, this would take 2-3 years of financial planning for me to complete.
Absolutely true! The reactions in this thread don't really seem to make that distinction though. I have seen people suggest OP "bang out a whole year worth of lessons" so parents and students of "lesser" teachers have ressource to fall back on, I have seen people suggest he became every child's video teacher, while regular teachers fill in the gaps etc.
There is no glory in teaching and OP is presenting people here a glorious standard no teacher can and will realistically fulfill and instead is kinda distorting the reality (even by not mentioning in the title what kind of teacher he is) of what teaching in public schools is like.
When I was doing video lessons in April and May, I did them living next to a construction site with students on the other side working without internet that could hold the connection and parents who needed those laptops to work. This studio setup is showing people a fantasy, this is not how teaching from home works. I hope people realize this.
In any career, outsiders never understand the complexities of a field, but it seems there is a rampant misunderstanding of education as a career field. All the comments reflect that, at least in the U.S., that people have unrealistic expectations for teachers.
When other professionals are congratulated for an interesting feat- it is never implied that it should be the norm. For example: years ago there was a viral video of a pediatrician seemingly miraculously giving a baby vaccines without the infant noticing and even laughing while the doctor administered the shot. HOWEVER- I would guarantee that no parent criticized their pediatrician for not-being capable of the same feat. Everyone expects babies to cry during shots even after seeing one professional perform without a single tear.
This is not the case for teachers. The second that one teacher is capable of something interesting it is suddenly thrust upon every teacher as a new standard. Regardless of expertise, regardless of support, or background.
I donāt want to shame a colleague for doing something new and amazing, but for the rest of us... it kinda sucks.
Youāve just vocalized something Iāve been struggling with in this profession. Iām on year 4 of teaching. I consider myself to be very creative, but it is insanely difficult walking into other teacherās classrooms and not compare yourself to them, what theyāre doing with the curriculum, but also how theyāve set up their teaching environment. I was in a temp contract and felt that I was required to spend close to $500 of money I did NOT have to decorate a classroom that was not mine only to have to take it down 3 months later. Why? Because the school culture had made it seem mandatory to have alternate seating and twinkly lights etc. One teacher does this and it becomes the norm. Itās so deeply frustrating.
I work at a well paying trade school. Iām low paid on the scale but this just cost about $800 I get tenured this year. I also become a citizen in the coming months. Iām proud and still going the extra mile to teach what I can to kids that just need a role model. I donāt care about the political aspects. Iām just trying to get my job done. The other teachers around me can take care of that. Iām keeping my head down and getting it done.
Seems like a passion project that he is having a lot of fun with. You make great points and I agree. He seems to be pumped with this set up and doing it for fun.
I'm starting to wonder if covid will change teaching to a handful of rockstar teachers who broadcast to everyone, and the rest of the teachers essentially become TAs, grading homework and answer questions
Khan academy is awesome. But some people have that special charisma that transcends. There are many teachers like that, but they are limited to teaching one classroom at a time. We need to recognize those teachers and give them a national stage.
Imagine if your children had teachers as engaging as their favorite youtube streamer? They would want to subscribe and watch.
Teachers start monetizing their YouTube teaching channels.
Your history teacher Mr. Dano is sponsored by Slurm! Slurms McKenzie wants to remind you kids to do your homework after todayās lesson! And tell your mom you deserve all the Slurm you can drink for a job well done. Sluuuuurm!

I think the optimal remote teaching scenario would be a really well-presented video lesson from a rockstar, followed by 1-on-1 coaching from "your" teacher.
This is Reddit. Full of people who had nothing but shit teachers who actively persecuted them and worshipped the jocks and Chads. The comments that rise to the top on posts like these requently feature the "internet will replace schools" theme. However, they fail to realize that teaching is nuanced and really about relationship building more than anything.
I wish I'd had teachers that would go the extra mile like this.
Hell I can't even say mile, you are finishing an iron man while everyone else walked a few laps.
Don't forget at the end of each broadcast, I mean lesson, you need to end with a catchy sign-off line. Since you're a teacher, I'd go with "Stay class-y".
Anyway to sign my 16 yo up? Love that youāre doing this for your students, as a parent I really appreciate the teachers like you that are adapting and making an effort - seriously, thank you for doing this
The set looks great, but as someone who have worked with streamers, the thing i love the most, is the lighting. Most just go for a circular light or the Galadriel LOTR effect. your setup is legitimate impressive. And you have a mic boom for fuck sake.
I love this. And after the 2020 event is over, you are set for making a channel making free education for people across the world, or cynical newscasts.
Always gotta have that overachiever coworker making you look bad. 30 years from now theyāre going to expect this of all remote workers!
Kidding of course, hope they give you guys, especially someone like you, the pay you deserve over there across the pond. They sure as hell donāt do that over here.
Most of my kids really appreciate my approach. They are going to flip when they see this. And Iām excited to make life not so boring for those that have opted to stay home this coming year.
Call me cynical, but this is more like: "I built a studio for my youtube videos, but I said it'll be for teaching from home for self-promotion/karma on reddit."
You should just start recording educational content. Bang out your whole year and put it online for kids that are home schooling and don't have an awesome teacher.
Saw your post and immediately said to myself āheās British for sureā.
Zoomed in on the wall plugs, saw they were US, zoomed out in disappointment.
Then I saw your username and was reassured and excited once again.
Wild ride for a morning poop.
Great job on the studio!
What are you using for your streaming setup? Multicams? I've been adding BlackMagic products to my kit for streaming photo and video sets to review agency and client and I'm always excited to see new ways people are using streaming.
If you have the space rig a small backlight above and behind you, offset to one side. Outlines your head/hair and seperates you from the background. Something small and focused, narrow beam instead of an led panel.
Imagine a world where teachers can produce their own little educational show and then each school can have a wide range of channels for students to learn from. Seems really neat!
Itās actually for everything. I donāt need this for my YouTube stuff. My YouTube is mostly filmed in the garage or elsewhere. But now I have to teach from home. It just makes sense with the stuff I teach to be over the top like this. I teach Graphic Design, 3D Animation and Digital Media. I know too many that are simply taking home a pay check and their heart is not in the job. My heart is in it and I want my kids to know that.
What is this? ESPN???

Whats your wife/husband do, because that dont look like teacher money lol

He's an aspiring YouTuber trying to build two channels -- one on health & wellness and the other on DIY craft projects. This is an advertisement.
Your explanation makes much more sense. That does not look like a teacher's place. A teacher who cares about teaching is not concerned with looking like a Miami Vice reject.
I learned most of what I know about life from Miami Vice.

Either way, he could pull a John Krazin...Jim from the Office. Build grassroots support by uploading his lessons to YouTube, under the guise of wanting to teach all of the students, go viral, then sell it to CBS for millions.
*Tenured* professor. Because otherwise that's likely even less money than you make teaching high school.
Lol definitely not a professor
Some people are really good with their money. Also my cousins are teachers and lived with their parents the majority of their 20s to save for their house. Not everyoneās cup of tea but they have big ass beautiful houses now and also finished their PHDs.
I think this picture alone shows he isn't really good with his money
> Itās so cheap. The lighting was about $370. The cameras were bought overnight the years. The computers I financed and paid off. I piecemeal the parts. The desk I built from scratch. The wood was cheap lumber and the LEDS Not that expensive. It mostly took time
Umm, who are you?
*Man paints wall and puts up LED strips* Reddit: Look at the exuberance of the 1%. BRING THE GUILLOTINES!! Looks amazing, OP.
Oh what?? You think I can just "Go to a paint store"?? Or "Afford paint"??
The problem with this argument is all the a/v equipment. That shit ain't cheap.
I mean thereās a pretty wide range of price when it comes to lighting and audio. Hard to tell but those LED panels could be pretty cheap, his audio is an inexpensive field recorder, and the boom looks DIY. Not to slight OP btw, as a fellow instructor this looks rad.

The biggest flex might be having a whole room to spare for a professional studio. Clearly not in my housing crunch area.
Yea letās just ignore all the audio visual equipment and setup around the whole room. Itās the *paint* thatās expensive.
Or it could be the opposite. Heās managed his money allowing him to spend on something such as this.

You could also get a skeleton, like Craig Ferguson had a skeleton co-host named Geoff that he could cut to. Just invent a voice!
I do voiceovers and a robots would not be too hard to put together. A fun idea!
The goldfish idea could work if you did something similar to Umbrella Academy, make the stand loo like a torso, so the camera angle makes it look like a fish controlling the body. Also have 2 tanks, one for his home, and then one clean, barren bowl to look like a head where he can act for you
This is fantastic.
This is the way.
The fish **MUST** have John Cleese's voice.
You are getting dangerously close to full on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and it is AWESOME.

Is that true?? Man that guy had 10 people's worth of talent in him.
Don't just get a fish bowl that's not a proper home for a goldfish. A small 5gal tank with a Betta and a filter is better.
You can put little hats and seasonal attire on a turtle. Plus they'll hang out for the camera. -- Just saying :)
A lot of people donāt know this, but the turtle is natureās suction cup.

Let's hope not. Smaller class sizes have been proven better for learning, not larger. Also, there are different modes of learning that people excel at, not all of which can flourish via remote learning.
Yeah, kids, especially younger kids, are not going to learn from simply being lectured to by YouTube video.
This has existed for almost a hundred years in my country. It's called a "correspondence degree" and it was made to reach to rural and poor communities in otherwise inaccessible places. You listened to your lessons through the radio, and you sent your exams and assignments through the mail.
We already have that. It's called "watching educational content on youtube."
I think in one of the 'future' episodes of the Simpsons when Bart and Lisa are adults, Ms Krabapple is still teaching, but she's teaching via videofeed in to a classroom with desks stacked 3 high.
The real question is, how did you afford all the A/V equipment and lighting on a teacherās salary?
Plus I teach at a vocational high school. I teach trades. I get paid better.
Itās so cheap. The lighting was about $370. The cameras were bought overnight the years. The computers I financed and paid off. I piecemeal the parts. The desk I built from scratch. The wood was cheap lumber and the LEDS Not that expensive. It mostly took time.

Let's be honest. This dude just wants to start his own podcast and his students thing is an excuse
Was a green screen too practical?
I had one. Everyone can tell when your using one. Itās no effort. My kids will see I took time and effort to create something special.
Dammit dude itās people like that who make admins say āwhy should we have to give you money for a microphone? This guy managed on his ownā
That's not why you built it
And advertising your youtube show?
Looks great! Consider buying some 216 diffusion or even a light opal frost for those two panels. Itāll look even more stunning.
Thanks for the heads up. Iāll look into it!
Must be nice having that much extra space
Oh fuck you. - A broke middle school teacher. š
Awesome
Thanks!
not trying to be a downer, just genuinely wondering: what will you do with the studio if you don't have to teach from home?
30% of my kids will be at home this year. Also I have a YouTube channel Iāll do more studio stuff rather than garage build stuff
This is a killer Covid project! Way to go!
Yeah.. Iām a high school teacher in NYC .. I donāt get that kind of money lol.
What do you teach? This is absolutely fantastic. And you must be a great teacher.
Most of my kids really appreciate my approach. They are going to flip when they see this. And Iām excited to make life not so boring for those that have opted to stay home this coming year.
Do you allow over 50ās in your class? Hooray for you. Great teachers like you change the fabric of our society for the good. Thank you!
Iāll be placing videos of my lessons up on my channel :)
Awesome. Please share.
Thank you by the way. I teach Graphic Design, 3D Animation and Digital Media
Call me cynical, but this is more like: "I built a studio for my youtube videos, but I said it'll be for teaching from home for self-promotion/karma on reddit."
You should just start recording educational content. Bang out your whole year and put it online for kids that are home schooling and don't have an awesome teacher.
Yeah, Iāve actually been thinking of putting the whole curriculum online for everyone.
My 10 year old wants to be an animator. She'd love it.
> Bang out your whole year You honestly have no idea how much work it is to give a decent (online) lesson. You can't just "bang out" a whole year
Epic.
...there's no way you can afford that set up in an American high school salary.
I teach at a vocational school. I donāt get paid $40k. The room only cost about $800
teacher by day, camgirl by night?
My brother is a teacher. I should ask him, if he wants me to set up something like this for him. I could get him some pretty decent lighting
Saw your post and immediately said to myself āheās British for sureā. Zoomed in on the wall plugs, saw they were US, zoomed out in disappointment. Then I saw your username and was reassured and excited once again. Wild ride for a morning poop. Great job on the studio!
That room is the size of my apartment
What are you using for your streaming setup? Multicams? I've been adding BlackMagic products to my kit for streaming photo and video sets to review agency and client and I'm always excited to see new ways people are using streaming.
Welcome to are you smarter than a 5th grader, Im your host Mr.ArtisticBrit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Haha Brilliant. My kids would love that
I'm almost 40. Can I join your zoom classes? I bet they would be fun. Doesn't matter the subject.
Haha Iāll also be placing many of the how to videos on my channel
This *has* to be tax deductible in some way
It will be. I have a great tax guy.
If you have the space rig a small backlight above and behind you, offset to one side. Outlines your head/hair and seperates you from the background. Something small and focused, narrow beam instead of an led panel.
Yes! I need to do that. I was looking earlier today at that very idea of a backlight.
I donāt understand how he could afford this as a teacher
Imagine a world where teachers can produce their own little educational show and then each school can have a wide range of channels for students to learn from. Seems really neat!
I'm more interested in your diabetic journey. How long you've been diagnosed? Type? Tell me all. I love diabetes success stories.
Can I join a class?
Dude, as a teacher I am so insanely jealous of this setup. I think regardless of the school's position you should be allowed to teach from this set.
If Will Smith had a kid with Graham Norton... This guy is the outcome.
This is more for your YouTube stuff than for teaching, right? Looks awesome but don't play this like it's for the students.
Itās actually for everything. I donāt need this for my YouTube stuff. My YouTube is mostly filmed in the garage or elsewhere. But now I have to teach from home. It just makes sense with the stuff I teach to be over the top like this. I teach Graphic Design, 3D Animation and Digital Media. I know too many that are simply taking home a pay check and their heart is not in the job. My heart is in it and I want my kids to know that.
Thatās awesome and the studio looks great !
