Emma Thank You!❤️❤️❤️ I've been wanting to film some of my sessions just as a video diary to look back on. Nearly everyone was suggesting a tripod which doesn't work well for my space. Most people sharing filming arms are working flat with a flexi phone stand and I didn't want to waste money buying things that wouldn't work for me. Thanks again!

I've always struggled with how to get the right camera angle, thanks for showing how you set it up. This helps a lot. I still have to get used to not putting my face in the shot though! 😅

I love your art! Thanks for the tips.

I really appreciate all the work you put into this video! You also confirmed things I've been challenged with in doing this intuitively. I tend to use a lot of physical movements with my expression and find it frustrating when the tripod is right next to me and possible to knock over. You overhead set up is mint.

That Manfrotto looks like a perfect solution. Could you talk about lighting also? And the Painting of the leopard is amazing!

Emma, thank you so much. I have been contemplating filming my art process and this was a great introduction to that world for me

I discovered your channel today.. would love a video about lighting :)

Thank you for all your good suggestions.

thank you 🌹

Thank you. I would like to see more on filming and the proper lighting to use in the studio. Software editing would be helpful to.

Emma you are such a delight person, it shine through in all you do. I'm going to share this on my FB. You are very articulate, focused and professional. Thank You

that was very helpful - thank you for sharing. You are so right about the skewed angle, that is really a challenge to find the sweet spot to film from, but not in your way at the same time.

This was so helpful! Thank you for being so thorough in your explanation. I've seen some crazy camera arm mounts but I'd never considered just hanging a curtain rod on my ceiling. Genius. Learning how to film on my easel instead of top down is going to save my neck and shoulders so much pain. 😅

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Emma, I think your films are some of the most informative pastel painting videos currently on KZfaq. Your tutorials cover a multitude of topics, provide detailed explanations and information on product use, and most of all-you are extremely patient in freely sharing your knowledge of pastel painting. The ultimate proof of your efforts is demonstrated in your beautiful work. Thank you for your time and feedback ☺️…

Great solution to getting rid of the tripod! thanks

Just started getting into filming my artwork. Really great (and very much appreciated!) tips.

I really delighted to see your studio lighting , and camera setup tips are nice you explained clearly, I would like to follow your paintings videos, and painting technics, thank you,😊

Brilliant information, thanks for sharing Emma

Fantastic Emma! Thank you

Thank you Emma

You are so talented and generous Emma.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed :)

Thanks so much I appreciate the tips 😍

Thank you so much for these informations🥰

Love the authenticity as well as the guidance. Thank you so much!

This was an awesome video, very helpful - thank you so much Emma!

Thank you for a precise and brilliant video 👍🥰

This is helpful, thank you. I'm interested in filming and post filming editing. Thank you!

I really struggled with recording to. I also work on an easel and I used to have what I called a “doctor Suess set up” 🤣🤣🤣. Now I have a phone clip, it works way better!! Love your set up!!!

Thank you so much I’ve trying to figure how to film upright

Thank you so much. This was very informative and helped answer the exact question I needed help with.

This is really interesting. I’m not quite ready to do any filming but it’s very useful information for me anyhow.

Thank you Emma. That was very helpful. I hope to update my camera and get a projector too and it is always so good to see other people's opinions and suggestions. Regards Helga

Thanks

Thanks for the insight and yes, I would really love to see way more of this. Especially filming and lighting would be amazing to see your approach, it's so helpfull to figure things out. I'm a brandnew KZfaqr and to figure out how much light you need where and how to film upright (something I want to do in the future) would be super helpful.

Yes, thank you...could you talk about and show your lighting in studio and for filming , thanks

Thank you for sharing such valuable insight! I'm trying to film more professionally, and just bought a tripod yesterday, so this video came in handy. I'd like to see more on filming, lighting, and editing software💕😁

your art really awesome great details and colors. thank you for sharing. love from India.

Hullo Emma! Wonderful video and so chock full of great information! I have recorded classes and the editing of the videos was never fun for me. I am interested in watching all of the aspects of putting together a quality video like yours! I have no plans to start my own channel, other than the silly videos I have already posted! I just enjoy seeing how others have solved the problems of creating art and documenting the process too! I have not even done a good job of photographing my artworks for the last few years. I often feel that making it is enough, I know that I should share more, but I am just not sure about doing so. I am truly glad that you are sharing so much with us and hope you continue to enjoy sharing your art and process, now everything involved with creating videos too! Be safe and take care over there!

great video Emma. I love that Manfrotto . Firstly I will have to start sitting down during my filming as Im always dodging the tripod. looks like a penny pot being started for some overhead clamping.

Emma, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and insights on this. I made a DIY easel stand with PVC pipe yet to buy a plywood as a Art Board to start painting 🖼 Camera Arm is truly useful tool for recording paintings as it gives room to do the work without feeling cautious as compared to tripods that can make us static in our position.

Oh... Brilliant video, Emma - thank you so much! 👍 Would just love to know how to make a KZfaq video! And this is the first step! 🤞 Congratulations to your new gear - hope it serves you really well! 🍀 PS That painting.... My goddness... Stunning!!! ❤️ DS

Canon has issues with filming for prolonged periods, as its cameras tend to overheat at the 30 minute mark. I recommend the Black Magic Pro 6K Pocket Cinema camera. It shoots superb-quality video, and can shoot for hours.

Very inspiring, I started my channel almost a year ago. Am learning a lot here. I have to invest in camera and all that stuff and stop using phone

Hey Emma. Thank you so much for showing us these options! Do you know if the camcorder will work for long periods of time or does it overheat? I’m looking for cheaper alternative camera that will pick up details, webcams are just disappointing and I can’t zoom in. So grateful for your content! I’m also struggling to find a solution with the angle, will try your method once I figure a better camera. Thank you for sharing ☺️

This is great information but my Art Society needs to record and show the recording to an audience of about 70 members - can you advise on how to show on a screen as the demonstrator works?

I need one of those camera arms. I have even less space than you in my work space. The tripod really struggles for any floor for its feet behind me as i have a wall behind me.

I would like to offer an idea for your work and filming...try a 2 way mirror at 45 degree angle...you look thru the mirror to paint, while filming is off to the side, but by use of mirror/s you could correct most parallax and still not have strait view for you to work, yet film at near the same angle as you view, but you will not be seen other than your hand and arm...Hope it helps you...like your work.

I wonder if i can use this technique to show me drawing and a still lif I am drawing from?

I’m paint withs boths hands. Where placing camera in this case? Please an thankses you

I also wanna know what app Use for Time-lapse

Emma, I’m new to drawing and have learnt to draw by watching KZfaq videos. I have a question on copyright © I use reference drawing for practice as well for display in my Pinterest and Instagram account. In Pinterest in use couples engagement photos for drawing ✍️ In Instagram I use drawings that are digitally worked with the reference of a photograph take by the artist. Do I need to ask permission and give credit for them in my post at Pinterest & Instagram or without permission mention DM to copyright claim and removal. Because it’s hard to find the rightful owner for photographs in digital media. If Incase I come across someone claiming copyright © what questions do I need to ask and investigate if they are genuine? Thank you so much 👍
