Working from home is the new normal for many in today’s climate. Zoom calls, Teams meetings and comfy clothes are becoming more and more common in the day-to-day work life. As well as those adapting to the home office lifestyle, many people have been busy creating or growing their online presence through streaming sites, such as Twitch, as well as YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. With this in mind, video enhancement equipment, such as green screens, ring lights and light stands, have been growing in importance! We are all having to learn to adapt to a new way of life, however, this does not mean that our home setups can’t have a touch of something special to them!

This blog post talks you through a range of products that will hide that dirty washing sat behind you in your daily teams call, hide that sleepiness from your face first thing during your catch-up calls and give you an all-round professional and creative space to develop your work, business and online presence!

All the products mentioned in this blog post can be bought separately, however we have also created a range of working from home kits that offer these products, or variations of these items, in one handy package! Whether you want to make your streams stand out and your YouTube videos pop, or whether you simply want to hide that messy background and give yourself a natural glow on your daily 9am zoom meeting (we’ve all been there...) our home working kits have everything you need! These kits can be browsed through and purchased on our website!

Green Screens and Backgrounds

It doesn’t matter how much you clean, how much you tidy, or how much you shift your webcam around, sometimes life can just get in the way! Your home is your home, it’s your space to express yourself and relax, however, your business life is necessarily separate and should be divided from your personal space!

The addition of a green screen or background to your home working setup is a great way to create this separation between home and work during this very conflicting time. A background takes the stress and worry of keeping a tidy house for your business calls away, providing peace of mind and a professional setup time and time again. Backgrounds come in a wide range of colours, sizes and assembly options!

For those that don’t have a lot of space to play with we recommend our pop up, reversable backgrounds, as they are small enough to fit neatly into any space; they are light and easy to move around, however, they are also collapsible, meaning that you can take them down and store them neatly away in a cupboard or corner! These pop-up screens come in a range of colours, including chromakey green, to help you find the perfect colour for your needs.

A green screen can enhance your YouTube videos and streams by allowing you to place yourself directly into your videos, adding a professional touch to the content that you are publishing online. As with the working from home setup, these green screens can be purchased in a range of sizes and prices, meaning that you can find a screen that is both easily stored and affordable, depending on your needs.

Lighting

Lighting is a great way to add another level to your home working setup, videos and streams! They come in a range of shapes and sizes, from pocket sized LED panels, to ring lights. The choice of lighting really depends on your particular style and preference, but our kits focus on providing both ring lights and LED panels of different sizes and prices in order to give our customers a wide variety of options in terms of working from home kits.

TVR

Ring lights are a great option for home lighting, particularly for those interested in streaming, hair and makeup tutorials, Instagram and Youtube. The popularity of ring lights comes from the gorgeous, round and full lighting they produce, put also the ring of light that is produced around the pupil! This ring of light really makes your eyes pop and so has become exceptionally popular with influencers and makeup artists.

For video calls and conferences either ring lights or LED panels are a great choice! LED panels provide even lighting to any subject and so can be great to light up dark areas in your home setup to create a well-lit and pleasing environment for video or calls.

Both LED panels and ring light can be bought separately but are also paired with backgrounds and light stands in our home working kits, such as the Working from Home Lighting and Chromakey Kit that provides a ring light, pop-up reversible green screen and accompanying light stands for £89.99!

Light Stands

Light stands are an invaluable tool to many industries and for many pieces of equipment! They make your lights a lot more versatile by allowing you to move and adapt your equipment to suit your position and height. Without light stands, your lighting options would become a lot more stationary! The light stands that we try to include in our kits come in two ranges, one being short and able to be placed on surfaces, and the other being taller floor stands that can be manoeuvred around your room depending on your need! Most of our working from home kits come with both options to create an all-round versatile kit that can be adapted to your needs.
