Video

When creating your video content, remember that your viewers will be viewing your videos on a variety of different devices and screen sizes. Creating high-quality video content can help ensure your videos will have a professional look regardless of who’s viewing them.

Webcams: Webcams attach to your computer via USB and present a high-quality convenient option for recording your content. 

DSLRs: If you’ve got the need, a higher budget, and what you’re looking for is something with a bit more flexibility, is portable, allows you to choose the lens you need, and that you can use to record directly to the device - then you’re likely looking for a DSLR with video capabilities.

Lighting: Almost as important as what resolution you’re recording your videos in - lighting has a huge impact on the overall quality of your video content. If you’ve never invested time or resources into setting up proper lighting for your videos, this could be a game changer for you and your viewers, and can help you establish a consistent higher quality brand image for your videos.

* Note: For all light recommendations listed below, you will likely need a softbox, or equivalent light diffuser, in addition to a sturdy stand - like a c-stand in order to safely mount and use your lights.

  • Mid - Higher Budget Godox SL series lights. You’ll want at least two of these as well. If you have the budget for it, go with at least SL 100’s. Depending on your space, you could also go with a SL60 as a secondary light, and a SL100 as your main light.
     

  • High Budget: For a higher budget look we recommend Aputure lights. There are a lot of different models to suit your needs, and if you’ve got the budget for it they are the best.

Pro Tip: If you want to step up your accent lighting game - we’d highly recommend that you look into getting a pair of Aperture MC lights, or a cheaper equivalent. You’d be amazed what these little RGB light panels can do.
