How to Shoot Cooking Videos With Phone for Cheap

I will be showing you how to shoot cooking videos using a phone for cheap. The goal of this video is to get you to shoot cooking videos with basic cooking videos setup for under $100.
I will also be showing my 3 different setups ranging from $100 to 450. With this setup, you should be able to shoot and record tasty style food videos for cheap. A lot of folks on Reddit and youtube ask me how I make my food videos so I decided to make this video. I go over 3 different setups at $100 vs $250 vs $450. You can decide which one is best for you if you wish to make food videos.

The last or shot number 3 is the best looking as it should be. But if you are on a budget, like you said go with shot 1 and upgrade as needed. This video was VERY helpful for me

Very informative video. I needed this detail video. My home has dark wood and yellow lights, no matter what I do. I try to record during the day but lately it's been gray sky no sunlight. I'm going to try number one. The most expensive is number 3. I might try them all. Thank you for breaking this video into sections. I truly enjoyed watching the entire video. Have a great weekend.😁👍

@seanaslam 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for checking it out :) If you try #3 then you can’t go wrong that. The light is super powerful. I usually keep it around 40-50%. But even if that’s too dark you can take it up to 100% and it will be like morning lol.

Great Video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with us! The result isn't surprising at all. When it comes to lighting it as simple as that: you get what you pay for... No shortcuts possible. The "Quality of Light & Shadows" of the Godox 150 Watt is so much better than the others. So I think in the end the result is: Go and spent a good amount of money to protect yourself from disappointment. Thumbs up, man.

@hectorvalencia8519 3 жыл бұрын

I had started for a few YT food videos and I found lighting is very important. Shooting is also kind of awkward thing if you have roommates using the same area for cooking. Taking video clips or shooting will be more convenient as early as 2AM I supposed whenever off from work. Editing follows easy when you have all the shoots you need. I usually pick cheap and used utensils from the value village. I think I really need to invest for affordable lights and props that is at par with those equipment used by the pro. Thanks for your DIY ideas.

@seanaslam 3 жыл бұрын

That was exactly the point that I was trying to make. Hope you make great content !! If you have a choice of camera vs light. Definitely invest in lights first then camera.

this was one of the most informative videos i have seen on this subject. i think i like set up #3 better. but unfortanately the tiles arent an option for me. I cook in a small kitchen with no island, so i need to use my real counter top and stove. also I dont really like the angle is tasty videos. it feels impersonal to me. however, i may look into the light for set up 3. i don't want to buy a new camera yet, but i am willing to take my videos to the next level.
