(Keeping overhead lights on is fine, too.) -MS As you set up, make sure the light is facing you instead of positioning yourself directly in front of the light.
We usually record Tiny Desk concerts with no extra lights, just window light - and that will likely be enough for your entry, too. Find a quiet and visually interesting spot to make your recording - and don't forget to include a desk! -JR Here are their tips for filming a Tiny Desk Contest entry by yourself:Īll Songs Considered Tiny Tech Tips: Microphones And Bob Boilen, of course, is the man whose very desk is the setting for Tiny Desk concerts. Morgan Noelle Smith, a video producer for the Tiny Desk series, makes the videos look beautiful. Josh Rogosin, NPR Music's technical director, is responsible for Tiny Desk concerts' top-notch audio quality. So, in the spirit of getting creative during the era of social distancing, we asked for some advice from three people who know what it takes to make a performance behind a desk stand out. (Need proof? Our 2018 winner, Naia Izumi, filmed his entry by himself in his garage.) But it's still possible to film a great Tiny Desk Contest entry even if you're currently at home by yourself, as so many of us are. We know that right now, artists who want to enter the Contest might be working under less-than-ideal circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year, for example, we've already seen a brass band performing in a forest (using a redwood stump as a desk), a small orchestra stuffed into an office space and a lot of plants.īut really, all it takes to enter the Contest is a song and a desk.
When the Tiny Desk Contest team is looking through entry videos, we're often impressed by where artists take us. You don't need a nice home studio - like Bob Boilen has here - to record a great Tiny Desk Contest entry from home.
