Small Budget while Filming YouTube Videos 🎬




I know it's been a minute. Matter of fact months! However, let me start my first blog off with HOW I FILM MY YOUTUBE VIDEOS!  I could make a video, but I don't feel like it lol. 

I must say a ring light comes in handy! When the sun goes down you can still film videos. In a perfect world, my videos would be filmed using direct sunlight, but I don't make  time to record in the day. 

(Keyword "MAKE")  Honest moment lol.

I use a Canon T6i to record my videos. I'm still learning how to use this camera. I've owned it for almost 2 years now. On my spare time I watch videos on YouTube to show me how to operate my Canon camera. It can be very intimidating and frustrating. I know enough to get the job done. Every time I purchase a camera, I side with Canon. However, I really want the Sony A5000. I want a mirrorless camera really bad! It's not heavy like my Canon and they are powerful. I can't keep up lol.   As of today, my Canon is worth $500. It's still popular too! This camera requires heavy duty lifting.  I get a great workout if I have to hold it. 


After watching several YouTube videos, I finally found my ring light! I've owned it for a year and half and it's still going strong.  I've owned a few light stands.  Below is the Ring light and Light Stand w/case  I ordered from Amazon





I wanted to make my videos work without purchasing the ring light, but overtime I tried to film at night the lighting was horrible. Now I need to invest in soft box lights then I'm done rightI was really excited once it arrived! I couldn't wait to set it up like a little kid. 



 


edit my videos using my Macbook Pro using the iMovie software. I downloaded the free Trial of Final Cut, but I'm so use to iMovie that Final Cut frustrates me. Plus it cost $299! I know everyone is using it for their videos.  Not me or not yet lol. 



If you  post videos daily or weekly you will need MEMORY CARDS. I record so much footage that I run out of memory during a video and I have to stop. It's frustrating when that happens. 

In a later post I might show how I record videos using my iPhone. Hope you enjoyed this post! Check out my YouTube channels :) (links below)

Later ✌🏾️💕

  1. I've always wondered how people get such perfect videos. I've never heard of a ring light. Canon is definitely a good camera. My digital is a canon. You are so right about the memory card. I learned the hard way once when I went on vacation.

    1. Most beauty content creators use ring lights. Since most of my videos are made in my bathroom the ring light serves as all-purpose :) It doesn't require much space. Yes it's no fun to run out of memory! LOL
