Hey Steve, this was SUCH great advice - thank you for sharing it! I've shot most of my videos in my daughter's room, which has the most natural light because it has two big windows. I used to think that was a good thing, but to the point you made in your video - I have no control over it. The last time I shot, the light was fluctuating every seconds because of clouds passing over the sun. I have no black-out shades so would you recommend that I shoot after sundown and use your lighting setup?

@carmensognonvi Sorry to be so late. (I had a launch and got waaaay behind) You can definitely shoot during the day and use the sun IF you face the window and put the camera on the sill. Then you'll tend to get good light no matter what the clouds do. But it's best to shoot on either a cloudy or no-cloud day in this case.

Wow the difference between 3:25 and 12:00 is HUGE!

Cool stuff, Steve!

Thanks Steve - do you have an tips for skype interviews?

[swasher1]

@mbl299 You can simultaneously record the audio with a camera and a microphone. Then in editing drop the audio under the video, and since good audio makes the picture look better, you're off to the races.

You can make the picture look better by simply shining a 100W lamp above your face. This evens out the shadows from most rooms. And finally, pay attention to your background. Clean it up, dress it, then tone it down lighting-wise.

Hope that helps!

Cooking is tailor-made for video; all that built-in action! As to zooming, well, that's a bit intense, but there's another way to do it that allows you to focus on the cooking while you're actually cooking. Mount another camera directly above the stove on a close-up and let it run unattended. Then cut the 2 tapes together after, occasionally cutting to the closeup of your hands working. That's easier and more professional!
