Introduction
Welcome back! Today, I’ll take you behind the scenes of how I create videos for my channel and share my setup, equipment, and process with you.
Thumbnail Creation
I start my video creation process by focusing on creating attention-grabbing thumbnails. Thumbnails play a crucial role in attracting viewers to click on your videos, along with the title. I don’t randomly choose images but curate them strategically to entice viewers.
Camera Setup
I use a compact and versatile camera setup for recording my videos. Currently, I use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which offers 4K recording capabilities and portability. The camera follows my movements, making it easy for me to record myself without assistance.
Physical Setup
I ensure good lighting by facing a window or door while recording. My setup includes a table with essential items like my phone, makeup, and a mirror for quick touch-ups. I also use a dummy battery to avoid frequent battery changes during recording sessions.
Recording Process
I record videos with careful consideration of my positioning and background elements. I edit and select the best shots to create engaging thumbnails. Using tools like iMovie, I finalize the thumbnail image before posting the video.
Equipment Overview
In addition to my camera, I use a microphone, tripod, and lighting setup to enhance the video quality. I also have a tablet for reference and a fan to prevent overheating during recording sessions.
Background and Setup Tips
I ensure that my recording space is visually appealing, with elements like a clean background or relevant props. While a fancy background is not necessary, maintaining a visually engaging setup can enhance the overall video quality.
