Try any of the following to soften your lights: 1. Dim the brightness 2. Add a softbox to diffuse (spread out) the light 3. Lower the contrast settings on your camera Overly high contrast also makes your video look cheap/digital rather than crafted/professional. @jayclouse

Another incredible studio success story from Mara, one of my students. Seeing these makeovers always makes me so happy. If you want help with your studio, just shoot me a DM!

1️⃣ The Rule of Sixths. Most backgrounds look lopsided. Don’t just fill the bottom half of the shot and forget the top. @thomas_cantrell

Why does the side desk layout feel so much more intimate? Because it mimics real-life conversations. Sometimes called the "co-worker" angle, it makes you seem like you're sitting next to the viewer. Credit: @AliAbdaal 👇

Before working with us, Jessica was living in Zoom Jail... It was holding her back from creating video content and scaling her online teaching business. She went through our program, and since then, she has: - Increased her confidence on camera. - Started her YouTube channel.

Looking to rent a warehouse in Austin to build tons of cool studio setups + document on youtube! Could become a creator clubhouse. Or rent these studios out for filming content Open to all creative possibilities if anyone wants to explore/collab on this adventure! :)

A blank white background often signals laziness,. But crafting it with purpose signals thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail.

2. Fill Up Empty Space Avoid the blank white wall. We humans speak the language of signaling. Just as important as the words we say. Signal intentionality. Make your space a *home* for your audience. People will feel drawn to you. @AliAbdaal thanks for doing this so well
