Film it on your phone: a simple setup for great-looking video

If you've chosen to film your own clips and let us edit them, the quality of the raw footage makes our job easier and your videos better. The encouraging part: the phone in your pocket is more than enough. It's the small habits that matter.

The five things that move the needle

• ✓Face a window, soft natural light beats any ring light
• ✓Clean the lens, a quick wipe removes the foggy look
• ✓Prop the phone steady or use a cheap tripod
• ✓Record in a quiet space, audio matters more than video
• ✓Shoot a few seconds of buffer before and after each take

That's genuinely most of it. You don't need a studio, and you don't need to nail it in one take. Shoot a few extra clips so there's something to choose from in the edit.

Send us the raw clips and we take it from there: trimming, pacing, captions, music, and the hook that ties it together. You film, we make it shine.
