Body and head movement ... I find it is distracted if too much head , hands , and other body part movement (I mean too much movement .... movement is good to show the sign of interactive, but too much ... no !)
Our family’s pro tip is...your going to hate seeing/hearing yourself right at first. Everyone does! Take the advice of this video and push through. Keep making new content and you will get better on camera. Keep lighting and smiling and you will be looking good 👁 👁 in no time!!! ✅✅✅
MuahMan I tried setting up my camera at home and talking to it during everyday task. Then I tried when we were in public but away from people. Now I just talk and move and try not to stand out too much. 😂
1. focus on soft lighting (natural or softbox) NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT 2. before hitting record, get a close look at yourself for food in teeth, wrinkled collar, etc 3. choose the right clothing (STAY AWAY from busy patterns or white. Your "look" should match your content. 4. SMILE! - positive vibes 5. place camera at EYE LEVEL BONUS: look in the lens, not the flip screen!
Whoa when you guys were asking for our problems and for video suggestions, I said I had trouble looking good on camera and here is the video, that's awesome!! Thank you so much, this was super helpful, love it!
I’d recommend saving up for some lights, then it doesn’t matter when you’re filming😊 I know Think Media has a lot of videos on lighting if you search for them!
This is the First time seeing Nolan so Happy (i didnt mean he was not happy before, but this time its a bit MOREEEEEE HAPPINESS) this couple really brought a smile on my face too
SG Artistry ummm I don’t need them to respond to anything I have to say. You saying this is unnecessary I’m not the only one that feels this so thanks for the comment.
All of those are really good tips. Only have one to add that goes along with smiling. Your energy when recording goes a long way. Don’t over do it and come off as fake, but you look far better when you’re excited to be filming.
Awesome video! Such good advice. I have had the issue so many times where there was something weird going on - like a hair over part of my face. And, luckily I usually have other shots to use but you really need to check yourself before recording - and I often don't do this enough and regret it. For the colors of clothing - I think this is really important! I am really quite pale and I noticed if I wear light colors, I don't look so good. In real life I do not like wearing black or dark colors but in my videos it really seems to positively impact the lighting and how my skin looks, especially when my background is really light.
#ThinkTeam this video has such a different feel! I love how it's not only helpful and concise, but very warm and friendly! Way to bring in some quirky fun and humor Nolan and Madeline!
Thanks for the great advice! I'm learning more and more that the general public has a different opinion than me on smiles. I don't know, I just feel like someone is trying to manipulate me when they are smiling. Maybe not always, but there is definitely a fine line I feel people should walk.
Madeline Ma'am, your tips really helped me for lighting properly. Great to see further from you as well. Nolan sir has taught me so much that I am speechless. Thank you.
Nolan & Madeline, I smiled the whole time I watched this video. You guys are so cute together.. Great on-screen chemistry 😉Shows the love. I am still smiling as I type. Sending my love, hugs and blessings. Keep smiling and keep laughing 🤗❤
Great advice! The lighting thing has been an issue for me, bright light from windows can be so bright I look 1million years old! The talking into the lense thing has always been a bug bear for me, I hate it when ppl stare at themselves, so distracting to watch! Thanks great info! 💙
I hope the algorithm awards you guys for repeatedly clicking on your video ^^;;; I got so excited with the information in full-screen mode on my phone and just kept clicking the cards, and then I realized as I was sharing some of them that I hadn't actually liked them so then I had to find where the thread began and re-click so I could like stuff XD TL;DR, love your stuff, love the stuff you linked to, you guys definitely have my subscription ^^
Thanks for the advice - will be useful in future. Advice I'd add is to watch out for shadows in the background and to not wear shirts with writing on them unless doing so intentionally - too distracting. If you're the focus of the shot, keep the background as simple as you can. Enjoyed this video. You two clearly adore each other very much.
Something else I would say is to make sure the background isn't too distracting. You want your audience to focus on you and not what's going on behind you. So keep distracting elements to a minimum as much as possible. Other than that I love all the tips!
Aha - the slightly dim color that comes from my cream colored shades is explained. Gotta figure that out next! These tips are super helpful and you're both adorable.
The best thing you can buy for sunlight diffusion is a white shower curtain.I suspect these are made with the very same material used for softboxes. If you have time for that, you can even build one with cardboard, tinfoil and a strong LED source of light.
I got caught by tip 2 yesterday. Spent a good chunk of a very hot day up in an attic recording cover songs. I got to editing them and my hair was stuck up on one and my t-shirt was twisted on another. So this morning I wrote a check list for before I press record and brought a mirror in to the room. I will not be making that mistake again haha
Love this video! Thoughts.. I naturally talk with my hands a lot, (both on and off screen) I’m scared it’s a little off putting but equally I think it shows I’m really engaging in what I say? Opinions and advice welcome!
Be yourself+ while making sure your message isn't getting lost in form and process. If you're talking about something you're passionate about, that alone can add a lot to your physical presence, way more than a mechanical reminder to smile. Definitely try to improve the way you look on camera (smile more, be more energetic, etc.), but don't force it too far. Choose one thing to improve then get back to the things that matter most.
I have one tip when I was editing the clips I found it. My parent‘s house curtain is coral color, then the clips are added a little red filter naturally😄 with warm and soft picture feeing. I really like it!
Great tips, how cute is Madeline. I'm definitely checking out her channel, I love doing repurposing, thrifting ... TFS have a creative, inspired week. xoxoxo
Great video, really appreciate it. It's hard to make me look good on camera but hopefully my personality will carry me ;-) Thanks for sharing, cloudy days create a nice soft box as well.
Yes, cloudy days give great lighting outside! Being real and being you is #1. For sure, be authentic and that's the most attractive thing for people!! You got this.
Would love to know how you got that exact lighting in the room, with the background color. Maybe my room is too small for the separation? Im getting nice even lighting, but even if I turn off any other lights besides my two Neewer lights, I still get that light source in the background. If you have any other videos on this, besides your three point lighting one, please share. Thanks! Great vids as always!
