 I've made over a hundred outside walking talking videos so I want to share a couple tips with you. The first and most important tip is to feel free to stop walking. Just stand still and maybe pan around a little bit because even a slow walk like this can feel dizzying to the viewer you know and right now because I'm walking the other direction you see how even just panning a little too quickly or having the background move a little too quickly can be dizzying to the viewer but standing still sorry about this you see quick pan dizzying right but standing still is more calming for the viewer and they can focus more on your message. Now the other thing to be aware of is how sensitive the microphone is the wind just started and I don't know if you can hear the wind sound I'll have to listen to it later but finding a place that doesn't have much wind can be tricky but it's important because if you listen to the video back and you hear the wind sound it can be quite unpleasant for the listener. Other outside sounds like traffic or just you know can be okay if it's relatively steady sound like there's no honking going on thankfully or if you're near the water and it's fairly steady that's okay too but just be aware of any sudden loud sounds like maybe a loud bird suddenly chirping every now and then can be disturbing for the viewer. So the other important thing to notice is the lighting the lighting right now I'm in okay lighting but notice if I step into the sun the problem is that I might be squinting and that's not that's not a good look or if I'm like this then I'm kind of half bright half half dark so you just kind of need to pan around a little bit until you find the lighting that is more pleasant and there's got to be some way like this right this is probably pretty good sometimes people aren't aware that you know their backlit but sometimes they when they do walking videos they want to rest their arms so they put the video down like this and just kind of walk and talk but this is a backlighting problem your backlit and also it's not a very flattering view it's not very respectful for the audience either so it's better to place yourself kind of eye-to-eye with the viewer and make sure your lighting is okay the last thing I'll say is that I well I'll tell you why I stopped making outside walking videos it's because of my perfectionism I mean this very video right now I'm on my fourth take and I'm sure I can keep going because I'm sure I'll watch it back later and go oh this sound was too loud or I didn't forget to say that so now I much prefer to make live videos because that cures my perfectionism in fact I have a video below that talks more about the perfectionism thing if you want to watch that one if you're gonna be outside don't make live video outside because your internet signal might not be good and since a live video means that it's being broadcasted directly you don't know if the sound is good you can't watch it back in real time so this is why I make my live videos indoors now and then focus on the message and I can feel more comfortable not worrying about the environment and be more more animated because the other thing you notice I'm doing is I'm holding up the mic to be closer to my mouth so that it's better sound than if I just dropped it and talked it wasn't very loud when I did that right so I hope this is helpful if you have any other tips for others who are making outdoors videos feel free to comment below but just remember the biggest tip standing still maybe panning a little bit it's okay but even a slow walk can be dizzying to others so I hope this helps
