Every Piece of Gear in Our Studio and What We Paid

This is the full list. Every item we bought to build four rooms inside our own office, what each one cost us, and what it actually does. Nothing here is a recommendation from a spec sheet. It is what we own and use every day. The full walkthrough of the build, room by room, is in the video above.

Prices are what we paid at the time of purchase and will move. Where an item was a marketplace or holiday sale find, we say so.

How to read this list

The list is grouped by room and sorted by cost inside each room, highest first. The Notes column is where the useful part is: it says why we bought that specific thing and where a cheaper version would have cost us later. Use the filter to look at one room at a time.

What we would buy again and what we would change

The memory cards are the line people should copy exactly. Consumer cards do not hold up to the write speeds this work needs, and finding that out in the middle of a shoot costs more than the cards ever will.

The lighting is the best value in the whole build. Under five hundred dollars fixed the single thing an audience notices first.

The glass is the line we would think hardest about. It reads as a finish and prices like structure. If a budget needs to come down, that is where the money is.

And every room here was rendered before anyone picked up a drill. The cheapest change order is the one you make before the work starts.
