b'Learn my tried and true process for shooting like a pro each and every time\\nYou\\u2019ve laid out your course modules and lessons. You\\u2019ve written your scripts. You\\u2019ve listened to your pump-up song on full blast, and you\\u2019re ready to record your course videos. There\\u2019s only one minor problem -- you have absolutely no idea where to start, and what to do.\\nGood news, my sweet friend. I\\u2019m going to tell you exactly what I do to create high-quality videos that look professional and don\\u2019t break the bank.\\xa0\\nMy process for recording my course videos runs like a well-oiled machine. I don\\u2019t say that to brag, friend \\u2013 believe me, it\\u2019s taken a lot of trial and error over the years to nail it down. And thanks to the many learning lessons I\\u2019ve had along the way, I now have a tried and true process for hitting the record button like a pro.\\nI am so excited to share this process with you because I know it is going to save you a ton of time, and also a ton of money. Tune in to hear my tricks of the trade, including:\\xa0\\n\\nThe system I use to plan and organize my time and assets\\n\\nHow to select your outfits and shoot location\\n\\nWhere to find an inexpensive videographer and editor\\xa0\\n\\nThe tools I swear by to record my course videos\\n\\nAfter you listen to this episode, you\\u2019ll be shooting your course videos like a pro -- and I for one, can\\u2019t wait to see them.\\nHere\\u2019s a glance at this episode...\\n\\n[02:54] I recently recorded all of the training videos for my List Builders Society course and realized I would have paid for a high-quality video creation process when I was first getting started.\\xa0\\n\\n[05:55] You must first organize your schedule and assets. Give yourself plenty of time to plan everything out.\\xa0\\n\\n[07:14] You can write out your script and use a teleprompter or use bullet points to guide you. Create a filming schedule once you know your modules.\\n\\n[07:48] I have my outfits for each video planned along with the video, link to the script, and filming notes listed out in three columns in a Google doc.\\xa0\\n\\n[11:02] Call in support and tell your family and loved ones that you need quiet time without any distractions.\\xa0\\n\\n[12:15] Plan your outfits for direct-to-camera shots so you don\\u2019t scramble to find one at the last minute. Select one outfit per module to mix it up.\\xa0\\n\\n[14:50] Shoot at your house if it\'s an option. Recording at home makes things easier, allows you to be relaxed, and saves money.\\xa0\\n\\n[17:59] Early on, it\'s probably best to forgo a videographer, but it is helpful to hire someone knowledgeable to set up your studio.\\n\\n[23:05] Lighting is important for direct-to-camera videos, so plan for it in advance. You might be able to find a student to help you, or an inexpensive lighting kit.\\xa0\\n\\n[25:48] Account for editing time. You can record all scenes by yourself, but it saves valuable time and energy to hire someone to edit your videos.\\n\\n[29:44] I use bullet points for live videos, and a script and teleprompter for recorded videos. I like PromptSmart, BIGVU, and Ecamm.\\n\\n[34:18] Action item: Use this guide to plan your next video shoot.\\n\\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
