Makers Rock is multi-year collaboration of woodworkers and makers where each participant recreates album art. Let's discuss.
Benefits
Grow your YouTube audience! You will get a LOT of new viewers checking out your channel!
Elevate yourself in the Maker community! You’ll collaborate with many other Makers!
It’s FUN! Like… a LOT of fun!
What is Makers Rock?
YouTubers recreate album art (ex: approximately 12″ x 12″ vinyl album cover) using any material and then give it away to someone in their audience.
All participants publish videos to their YouTube channels on the same day! We flood YouTube with Makers Rock videos!
All participants link to (and promote) other participants. It’s like a normal collaboration with a single person… but with MANY others simultaneously!
Each participant will either randomly give away their artwork to one of their audience members -or- provide $50 USD. Giveaways are very popular and also help grow your channel!
To join the Makers Rock Collab, friend Matt Haas on Facebook and he will help connect you to the private Facebook group.

![Want to Level Up Your Video Production? Try This!!! with Suman Sarker
Want to improve your video production? Want to learn about the best lights for YouTube videos? How about the best YouTube lighting setup? Suman Sarker will discuss all things lighting and camera with us on the livestream. Suman is a photography expert with years of experience to share with us.
Software for manual control of your phone:
Filmic Pro ~$14.99
Pro Camera by Moment ~$6.99
Search Best vlogging camera and the top results are good candidates including Sony ZV-1, Fujifilm X-S10, Panasonic GH5 II, Canon M50 II.
More Serious Cameras [not necessary]
Higher end mirrorless cameras like the EOS R5, Sony A7 series.
Keep in mind:
If lenses are not weather sealed, expect internals to get dusty.
-FLIP SCREENS are invaluable for a one-person production team.
-Cameras with remote (using phone or a physical remote) are tremendously valuable
Camera Settings:
For manual control of your camera, there are three primary areas you need to learn: Shutter Speed, aperture, and ISO. All three of these parameters play a role in the exposure (aka brightness) of your final image.
If using manual control, your shutter speed should be appx 2x your frame rate. So if youre shooting 24fps, shutter speed should be 1/50th of a second. Conversely, if youre shooting 30fps, your shutter speed should be 1/60th of a second. Keep the shutter speed locked and adjust aperture and ISO to properly expose your scene.
LIGHTS
Pay attention to color temperature and color rendering index.
Size of the light source matters. Bigger the light, the more soft it tends to be. You can also use softboxes to soften (aka scatter) the light. Softer lights produce a more pleasing look.
Shop lights: 85+ CRI is ideal. None go greater than 88CRI with exception to American greenlights.
Inexpensive all-around: GVM 600S (90W 3200-5600k CRI 97+).
Multi light setup: GVM 800D or equivalent
TIPS
Get creative with your camera angles- show people a fresh perspective. People will find it much more enjoyable to watch. This increases engagement and adds perceived value to viewers.
