nice, thanks for posting beginner 5A stuff, it’s actually much needed.

if you want to greatly improve your vid quality at absolutely NO COST, you should film under the sunlight. if that’s not possible, try and light up as many lamps as possible and make sure they’re all in front of you, behind the cam, no light source should be behind you.

but sunlight is your best bet

it’s much better, the shadows are behind you which means the light is in front, this is ideal
