How to Shoot Better Videos of Yourself - NMX 2014 - Caleb Wojcik

Get a list of gear mentioned + the slides at http://calebwojcik.com/nmx Creating videos of yourself is hard enough without having to worry about whether or not the lighting looks right, the mic sounds okay, and if you are actually in focus. In this talk, I show you LIVE, with the actually gear I uses to shoot videos, the best way to set up a shoot of yourself so you can focus on what makes videos great: content and delivery. I'll cover proper lighting, recording great audio, where to frame yourself in camera, how to deliver a written script without a teleprompter, how to get a "blurred background", and more. You'll Walk Away From This Session Learning: - Visual: How to properly set up of 3 point lighting, get the "blurred background" look, perfectly frame yourself in camera, and make sure you are in focus. - Audio: How to record great audio (without any echo), sync a separate recording devices, and use audio waves to help you save time during editing. - Delivery & Editing: How to deliver a written script (without a teleprompter), use simple editing tricks to keep watchers engaged, and get two camera angles out of one camera.
