My Remote Learning DIY Projects

1. The Video Conferencing Docking Station

When I was deciding what equipment to buy to help me organize my video conferencing gadgets, I realized there is really nothing that would fit my requirement plus the fact that they can be expensive. So I decided to create my own. I chose PVC as my main material as it is easy to cut and there are available connectors that I can easily buy in the hardware store.

I am sharing to you the 'docking station' for my camera, lights, microphone, speakers, etc. This station actually cost me only about 250 pesos. In this page, you will see the equipment as work station, and in the next page, you will see my blueprint of the docking station. If you want to create something similar, you can use the plan. The size is not specified as it may depend on the size and type of laptop or digital device that you will use.

1.1. Work Station Blueprint

Here is my blueprint for the work station. 

2. Green Screen Frame

Green screen, while not essential, is something you will need if you want to enhance your video output in zoom or even in PPT video recording. 

Green screens are easily available online, but the bigger your need the more expensive they become. I also decided to make my own, and constructing the frame only cost me about 350 pesos. The green screen, is just a green cloth that I bought in one of the malls in MM. I bought 3 yards and is actually enough for both close up and wide angle shots.

2.1. The Green Screen Frame Blueprint

Here is my detailed plan for the green screen frame. Again, I used PVC for the actual project. The design is such that it can be dismantled for storage and transport. Because of the height of my own project ( I added 12 more inches to the height), I can actually do full body shots.
