Episode notes

When it comes to doing video in the beginning, when you're new at it, my friend, do whatever makes you feel good. If you need your videographer to squat down and you don't see their face when you're filming, you go on with your bad self. Do whatever works for you. But one thing that is important, whether you have some one come over for an hour to and help you get set up, or whether you do it all yourself. Hophe doesn't want them in our house. It's just goten easier if, like, two people come over and it's a four days shoot,. They leave their stuff there for four days, then come back

Learn my tried and true process for shooting like a pro each and every time

You’ve laid out your course modules and lessons. You’ve written your scripts. You’ve listened to your pump-up song on full blast, and you’re ready to record your course videos. There’s only one minor problem -- you have absolutely no idea where to start, and what to do.

Good news, my sweet friend. I’m going to tell you exactly what I do to create high-quality videos that look professional and don’t break the bank.

My process for recording my course videos runs like a well-oiled machine. I don’t say that to brag, friend – believe me, it’s taken a lot of trial and error over the years to nail it down. And thanks to the many learning lessons I’ve had along the way, I now have a tried and true process for hitting the record button like a pro.

I 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:

The system I use to plan and organize my time and assets
How to select your outfits and shoot location
Where to find an inexpensive videographer and editor
The tools I swear by to record my course videos

After you listen to this episode, you’ll be shooting your course videos like a pro -- and I for one, can’t wait to see them.

Here’s a glance at this episode...

[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.
[05:55] You must first organize your schedule and assets. Give yourself plenty of time to plan everything out.
[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.
[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.
[11:02] Call in support and tell your family and loved ones that you need quiet time without any distractions.
[12:15] Plan your outfits for direct-to-camera shots so you don’t scramble to find one at the last minute. Select one outfit per module to mix it up.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[29:44] I use bullet points for live videos, and a script and teleprompter for recorded videos. I like PromptSmart, BIGVU, and Ecamm.
[34:18] Action item: Use this guide to plan your next video shoot.
