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 right? I was really excited once it arrived! I couldn't wait to set it up like a little kid.
I 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.
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)
