Thank you for all your great tips ! Since Covid, self-tapes are a must but thankfully getting better and better at it through researching videos like this. I do however, have an issue when casting needs a full body shot and/or a 360 turn. Really hard when your doing it alone and can't pan out on a self- timer. I also don't have a window to stand in front of and the lighting needs to be pulled back as to not get it in the shot. This makes this portion of the slate a bit dark. Any suggestions to in order to avoid this? Thanks you so much !

Thank you for the video! Love the way you shot and edited it as well. Re setup - your house is beautiful and spacious, however in a tiny 1bdr apartment where some non-acting work and living happens I find it hard to even find a place for a convenient setup (Vancouver is dark in the winter, my umbrella set is weakish in brightness and to use backgrop stands would take up a lot of space. I meant it might be possible with some effort but would have get it on and off each time to setup). For my wellness channel I do not use any backdrop yet although it might beneficial to improve the lighting setup. Also mics like Rode micro and even Deity duo do not seem to pick up sound well at a distance. Lav mic is what I usually use but it has a cord.

I have accutane to thank for my skin, but if I need to cover a spot or two I will use a bit of makeup. So long as you don’t overdo it it’s acceptable. It also depends on the role.

Hi, Will! Thank you so much for this video, it's really helpful, especially for someone like me who has glasses and is concerned about ring lights reflecting off the lenses. I have a question for you: I recently bought a phone tripod with a cold shoe mount so that I can record self-tapes with the IVISII G2 Pocket RGB LED Light (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKqnkqmmt8q4o6c.html) to keep my self-tape set-up very small. However, I'm realizing that the light is quite harsh. Have you ever used a light like this? If so, do you have any tips on how to use them effectively, or would you say that an umbrella light set-up is definitely better?
@Flipsidesociety Жыл бұрын
Filming on 500$ equipment is not filming on a budget...Sorry, but someone had to say it, not all aspiring actors are as financially adequate as you are. Just something to consider next time you put the word BUDGET in the caption of your video. I'd be interested in how artists can do self-tapes without the expensive equipment. That's more useful. Best Regards .
