Hello there, if you are here you probably are new to the whole video thing and need some background, tips, and tricks to get started. Let's start from the beginning and cover some basic things you need to keep in mind in order to record quality content, shall we?

🔖 The Basics

  1. Lighting: Good lighting is key to making your videos look professional. Make sure you have enough light and that it's coming from the right direction. Try to avoid shooting in direct sunlight or extremely low light. For this, you may even consider getting a light ring if necessary.

  2. Stabilization: Use a tripod or a gimbal stabilizer to keep your shots steady. A shaky camera can be distracting and make your videos look amateur.

  3. Audio: Good audio quality is just as important as good video quality. Invest in a good microphone to improve the sound in your videos. We have a blog you may find interesting if you need help choosing which audio gear to buy. If you're looking to get professional-quality audio without breaking the bank, you'll want to invest in a consumer-level microphone. These can range from just $30 all the way up to around $150 - and don't forget key accessories like stands, cables, and pop filters! If your budget is higher or if the quality sound recording is essential for your project then you're probably better off with something more pro that will last: these start at about $200 but can cost well over five hundred bucks.
