Clare! This is such a helpful rundown. I loved doing TV and working with a crew, but I feel pretty overwhelmed every time I try to do my own video, and I know getting a video strategy in order to help grow my podcast/substack needs to move up my priority list. Thank you for this!

EXCELLENT tips here, Clare!! Thank you for sharing. Although I was initially skeptical about reels, lately I've found myself actually enjoying the filming and editing processes.

The Arkon stand is an absolute godsend.

I edit on iMovie on my Mac because I am a tech *dinosaur* and cannot edit on a tiny phone screen lol. It's super basic but if you learn the keyboard shortcuts, it's pretty snappy. And free :)

Very informative! Considering the gooseneck tripod to replace my Jerry-rig situation and maybe the video editing app. 🙋‍♀️guilty of posting instagram edited videos into my newsletters. Shame on me lol.
