expat Posted June 5, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2023 I see some on here that are really well done. What are your tips to get the best results? Same as images, ie lighting etc, close as possible or more background. Here is my first attempt, advice will be greatly appreciated.

zadie Posted June 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) I use one of these portable "lightboxes" from Etsy. It's basically a plastic box with an LED-strip mounted on the roof. It comes with a removable black backdrop that I think looks quite decent in video. Here's one of my videos using the lightbox, shot with a Samsung S22: Cistophor-S22_short.mp4 [Edit] Forgot to add a link to actually buy the thing: https://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/1457727677/portable-folding-lightbox-photography?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Portable+Photo+Studio&ref=sr_gallery-1-7&organic_search_click=1 Edited June 5, 2023 by zadie 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor DonnaML Posted June 6, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 6, 2023 I have one piece of entirely non-technical aesthetic advice, to avoid a problem that I've seen happen all too often in coin videos in which someone is holding the coin in their fingers: I'm not suggesting that it's an issue with your video, but everyone should please make sure always to have clean fingernails without visible hangnails, etc. Or to wear gloves. There are few things that I find more unappetizing and liable to distract me when people (usually men, I'm afraid) post videos neglecting that precaution! 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrachyEnjoyer Posted June 6, 2023 · Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 Very important is to use a tripod. Your hands are more unsteady in comparison so having a mounted camera will greatly improve film stability. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
