If you're an old YouTube fan like I am, you might recognize the inspiration behind the Back Issues set. I'm looking for inspiration for the set to bring it to our next phase, and I'm having some trouble finding set concepts. If there are any channels, TV shows, movies, podcasts, etc. that you think might lend themselves to our format, share them with us in the comments of this post! We'd love to hear your suggestions. Thanks!

I think lighting is the lowest hanging fruit. It could be cool to try and create a little more visual separation from you and the backdrop. I think you’re using soft boxes for your key and fill right? Maybe put them higher or lower with a grid so it’s more directional and less light spills onto the backdrop. Maybe pull the couch a little bit forward so there is more distance too. It’s tough because you’re lighting 3 people at once and they’re all facing the precise same direction but I think you could turn down your fill light and introduce just a little bit of shadow to the faces to create depth there too. “The Yard” is another video podcast that has an intricate set but I think the lighting is *actually* what makes their picture stand out more than anything. If you were instead looking for ideas on the stuff around you… maaaaaaybe ditch the green screen? I’m not sure. I like that it gives context to what you’re talking about. But it does make the picture look ‘flat’ too with the way people move around in front of it. I think the collectibles are great but if you’re looking for a change the obvious go-to is racks or shelves with comic books. Think the angry video game nerd or red letter sets where it looks like they’re in a video rental store.

I think you capture the RLM atmosphere, but maybe something with your name in the back with lights. Or Ethan/Ben design their own sides as expressive of who they are (Ethan Science, Math, Logic), Ben (Theater, Art, Humor). In the middle is Sal, with the Comic and a green screen. Spiderman stuff everywhere. I agree with the comment about lighting. It is tough. I have never done a YouTube video, so I am pretty sure my ideas are not doable. Budget may be an issue as well.

I mean, there’s a lot of things you *can* do, but also, I think you should leave it as is. It’s gone through a number of iterations over the years, and I think you currently have a great set. It’s a classic case of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That said, *if* you were to change anything, I would fill the shelves with trades, omnis, etc with the memorabilia, statues, toys, etc as accents.

I think you should look into a table or something in front of you all. Similar to how redlettermedia has their botw table. It would let you spread out books, figures or anything related to the discussion

This is just a general suggestion, but I think it would look better if the camera was a little closer. I think the table idea could be a good one, maybe a round one? That way you all could sit visually closer in a semi circle, more easily make eye contact, And have a place for props.
