Best Practices:

1. CLEAN YOUR LENS! Get in the habit of doing this each time, even if it doesn't look dirty. It can be such a heartbreak to realize, after the fact, that your videos are foggy and not as crisp as they should be!

2. Back Camera: Use your back camera for better quality.

3. Lighting will make or break you: Natural light is the best, but invest in a light as a just-in-case!

4. Frame: We like to shoot in 1 or 0.5x
