Your smartphone is the best camera to start learning how to record yourself—but only if you know how to dial it in! In this video, Nate breaks down simple filming tricks that dramatically improve your video quality, even when filming completely solo.

We cover the 5 foundations of talking head videos (clean backgrounds, soft lighting, tripod height, and front vs. rear cameras), the essential camera settings to change right now (4K, natural frame rates, and why you should turn HDR off), upgrading your audio with the budget-friendly Hollyland Lark A2, and how to shoot 5 cinematic B-roll shot types to build seamless storytelling sequences!

Our mission here at Think Media is to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs go full-time doing what they love and making an impact through the power of video.
