๐ฅ How I Film Effects Alone
This week's creative output: the gear I use to efficiently film videos by myself.
I ironed out the remaining technical wrinkles with my live stream setup and made sure to keep the show-and-tell under 10 minutes.
If you don't have time to watch the video, my top 3 recommendations are:
๐ฅ Steel phone mount
๐ฅ External video monitor
๐ฅ Rode wireless microphones

I'm going to be going live at 3pm EST today to do an effects editing demonstration (followed by a Q&A). Here's the YouTube link if you want to be notified.
๐ค On the Podcast
This week on How Do Artists Make Money? I spoke to miniaturist Caroline McFarlane-Watts of Tall Tales Productions.
Caroline has taken her passion for sculpting and turned it into a highly successful business creating and shipping collectible figurines all over the world. It was especially interesting hearing her talk about developing, growing, and protecting the IP the series is based on (Good Witches, Bad Witches).
