No sweat!<\/p>\n<p>The greatest videos aren\u2019t necessarily the ones that have the resources and production values worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. They\u2019re the ones with heart.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s good news if you don\u2019t have a huge budget. And here\u2019s some more news that\u2019ll make you smile &#8211; we\u2019re going to show you how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll share six practical, easy to follow ways to make a killer video with limited resources. In no time at all, you\u2019ll be ready to make engaging, shareable videos that gets your audience\u00a0talking.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Film on Location<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no way around it &#8211; sets cost money. Even a basic setup, with a backdrop and lighting, can add up. That&#8217;s assuming you even have the space for it to begin with!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the type of video you&#8217;re making, you might not even get that much mileage out of the set you painstakingly built.\u00a0Simply put, sets are\u00a0not always good value for the money. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Outdoors<\/h3>\n<p>As an alternative, filming outside is nearly always free or very cheap. The only instance where it might cost a little is if you need a permit. Most state parks and other public lands do require permits, so be sure to check local laws and regulations where you live.<\/p>\n<p>By taking advantage of natural lighting and settings, you can create many different types of videos outdoors at no or low cost for the space.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re planning your ideal outdoor location, take the following issues into consideration:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noise levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traffic (people and transport) <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best time of day for your ideal light<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weather <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Indoors<\/h3>\n<p>If an indoor location is what works best for your video, you still have a few options.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try\u00a0asking\u00a0your network to find locations you can take advantage of for free. Assure your contacts\u00a0you won\u2019t disrupt their daily work, and are happy to be guided by them as to the best time for filming.\u00a0You might be asked to pay a small fee, so set a budget for yourself before you start asking around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Public high schools, libraries, and community centers often have rooms you can reserve for no or low cost. Sometimes, they even have audio and visual equipment you can take advantage of.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/how-to-scout-a-shoot-location.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scout your options carefully<\/a> &#8211; just because it&#8217;s available doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s right for your project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Leverage Your Team&#8217;s Strengths<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business is small, you probably won\u2019t have dedicated team members for each element of production. Still, there could be people in your team who have the skills to put together a good script, a professional storyboard, or a compelling marketing strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before outsourcing, see what you can do in-house. We\u2019ve put together <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/how-to-market-videos-on-your-own.html#close\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14 Crucial Steps to Market Videos for Free on Your Own<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for anyone who wants to add this skill to their work! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. DIY Voiceover Studio<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is easier and cheaper than you probably think! Your aim is simply to create a space that\u2019s silent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find\u00a0a space that\u2019s already relatively quiet, and make it into a voiceover studio by soundproofing the walls with egg crate foam, heavy vinyl material and fiberglass panels. You can always soundproof\u00a0a small part of the room if you don&#8217;t need much space to operate, or don&#8217;t have many soundproofing materials available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is too expensive &#8211; or permanent &#8211; then cover walls and windows with heavy curtains. Stick couch pillows to walls that let in noise, or build a soundproof fort. Switching off fluorescent lights, electronics, heating and aircon is also effective at reducing background noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your budget is really tight, record your voiceover in a closet! The clothing will stop the sound waves from bouncing. For more hacks, head over to our post <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-professional-voiceover-on-the-cheap.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Create a Professional Voiceover on the Cheap<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Support Amateur Actors<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than paying for the services of professional actors, you could enlist the help of your team. But, that might not result in the polished video you\u2019re aiming for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a much better idea to make connections with organizations that can put you in contact with talented people who have experience. Try local amateur dramatic societies and university drama departments. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandy.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandy\u2019s Film and TV Production Directory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backstage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backstage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are useful online resources for finding actors who are happy to use your video production as an opportunity to gain experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-652\" src=\"https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/actors.png\" alt=\"amateur actors\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to make the payment rate clear from the outset. There are many rules around working with union actors, so we recommend familiarizing yourself with them before casting. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moviemaker.com\/union-films-vs-non-union-films-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Union vs. Non-Union:<br \/>\nKnow What You\u2019re Getting Into<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s a good beginner\u2019s guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Buy, Rent or Borrow<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have the equipment you need, there are three options &#8211; borrowing, renting or buying. Your long term video strategy will dictate which is best for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you intend to make videos regularly, then it\u2019s likely best to buy. Check out what\u2019s available used or refurbished. If possible, take an expert with you to make sure the equipment is in good working order before you purchase. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time your purchase wisely. You could buy the latest hardware and software, or you could wait until a new product release. This way, you\u2019ll bag a bargain on items that were the latest and most up-to-date until very recently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to lighting, we\u2019ve got some good news. Expensive doesn\u2019t necessarily mean better. What\u2019s important is knowing how to use the equipment correctly. You can achieve a good effect using ordinary lights with adjustable heads. Spend time familiarizing yourself with our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/seven-quick-steps-for-simple-affordable-lighting.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Quick Steps for Simple Affordable Lighting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6. DIY Everything<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>From lighting, to backdrops, and even camera stabilization, there are a ton of DIY options out there. If you&#8217;re crafty, and willing to put some time into it, DIY is a great way to go.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, we loved this solution from Lifehacker: <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/diy-water-bottle-tripod-222576\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIY water-bottle tripod<\/a>. (Note: this will only work if your video camera is ultra light.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-653\" src=\"https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/DIY.png\" alt=\"DIY video hacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For lighting, you can look around at what you already have for light sources. Then, supplement with foam board, natural light, or softly reflective surfaces to get the look you want.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Your Own Hacks!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you make more video, you\u2019ll acquire new skills, and build on your knowledge of what works and what doesn\u2019t. Over time, you\u2019ll get a feel for the things that are worth spending more money on, and where you can economize. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with other video makers is another great way to learn <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/blog\/the-best-free-resources-for-budding-videographers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">even more tricks of the trade<\/a>. Also, set aside a couple of hours a week to read your favorite video blogs. These are often a useful source of information on clever video production hacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve come up with some tips on making video on a budget, let others in the video making community know!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share your budget video hacks by commenting below or on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sproutvideo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">MIN TO READ<\/span><\/span> So you want to make an amazing video, but your budget isn\u2019t massive?
