Dear Constant Reader,
A little business before we get to your tip!
First, tonight we are presenting Live-ish From Deacon Giles (sort of)! on our FaceBook page at 8pm Eastern! I hope to “see” you in the audience!
Second, every Wednesday at 3pm I’m teaching a short burlesque lesson on IG Live. I’ve been posting them on YouTube afterwards. If there’s a burlesque move or technique you’d like to see, leave me a comment and maybe you’ll see it in a future Bite-Sized Burlesque Lesson!
When filming yourself, make sure your main light source is behind your camera.
If you only have one light, position it behind the camera (computer, phone, &c.). If you have two lights, shine one on the wall behind you, which will help create depth. For the best lighting, use two lights on you — one main, one for fill — so you don’t get shadows. Avoid overhead lights.
Here I am filming a reading for Booklover’s Burlesque in my bedroom using clip-on work lights. Very glamourous, no?
I have been learning A LOT these past few months about tech things I usually let other people handle… What new skills or knowledge have you acquired?
