How To Record A Video In Just Five Minutes

Hey, in today’s video, I’m going to talk about the camera equipment that I use to record these videos.  I get asked quite a lot what do I use, so I’m going to go through step by step how I use this, how it really only takes me five minutes to record a video, and how you can, too.

So, let’s get into it.

Hey, this is Jamie from Technology for Coaches, and today it’s behind the scenes.  I’m recording this to show you the set-up that I use to be able to record these videos for you, and I aim to record at least two videos a week, and that’s allowing me to get many more tips and hints out there to help you get better at technology and learn the new tools, or learn better ways to design your website, or hits and tips on marketing in terms of automation; all those types of things.

But a lot of people I speak to say “I can’t do that on video, it’s too hard, it’s too technical.”  So, what I wanted to do here was show you what the set-up is that I have, which allows me to do this really quickly.

So, I have my trusty – I say trusty – Samsung phone next to me here and I’m also recording video on this as well at the moment.  So, what I have, as I stand here, I’m facing the camera, so I’m just looking at the camera now and I’m going to have the video editing switch between the two, so you’ll see the video camera there, you’ll see the white board as well behind, so when I’m recording sometimes I’ll actually have some notes on the white board to be able to talk to when I’m doing a video, and I’ve got the tripod here, that’s just the bag for the camera, but the tripod allows the lens to be at eye level so that I’m looking directly at you when I’m recording the video.

The Camera I Use…

The camera itself is a Canon EOS 60D and on the front of that is a 50 millimeter lens, I think it says one to one point eight 50mill lens, and the beauty about the 60D is as you can see there, it’s got the little LCD display panel, it flicks out, so I can see where I am in the frame as I’m recording these videos for you.  Also inside the camera is a memory card, so a 32 gig memory card and you can see that little bag at the side here which is for my remote control.

Now, my remote control, which is in my hand here, this tiny little remote control, that allows me to get the focus right, and then press another button and the record starts.  So, I could be stood away from the camera, press a button, it does the focus, and then press another button and the record starts.  So, I don’t have to go back and forward, and it stops me being out of focus.

A Little Tip For A Lighting Perspective

From a lighting perspective, because in my office here, and this is where most of my videos are done, I have quite well positioned lights above me and the lighting actually is quite good from a video recording perspective, but if you need to invest in some lights,
